Establish State Normal

Famous quotes containing the words establish, state and/or normal:

    Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Texas is a heaven for men and dogs but hell for women and oxen.
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    A few ideas seem to be agreed upon. Help none but those who help themselves. Educate only at schools which provide in some form for industrial education. These two points should be insisted upon. Let the normal instruction be that men must earn their own living, and that by the labor of their hands as far as may be. This is the gospel of salvation for the colored man. Let the labor not be servile, but in manly occupations like that of the carpenter, the farmer, and the blacksmith.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
