When Mr. Grady said, “We have planted the school house on the hill-top and made it free to white and black,” he must have had in mind the Atlanta University, for he knows all about that school. The $8,000 a year appropriated from the State justly entitles the Georgians to regard Atlanta University as a State school. But whence comes the money necessary to supplement this appropriation, to meet current expenses? Whence came the $150,000, and more, that have gone into the fine grounds, buildings and equipments? From New Englanders and children of New Englanders in the West, through the American Missionary Association. Mr. Grady must have known these facts. He knew that New England brains conceived the school, that New England money planted it, that New Englanders have always been, and are, its teachers, what sacrifices they have made, what social ostracism endured, what splendid work they have done and are doing. He knows from personal inspection the superiority of that school, and that this superiority has frequently been spoken of in the columns of the able paper of which he is the editor. He knows that the munificent funds bearing the names of Slater and Peabody were given by New Englanders. All these things, and more in the same direction, Mr. Grady knows, and yet in the presence of New Englanders and in the city where are the headquarters of the American Missionary Association, he did not make the faintest reference in recognition. It is said his speech was extemporaneous. Nevertheless was it not unfortunate that upon such an occasion he failed to give honor to whom honor is due? * * * * *
