Prominent men and women from this and other states are here today for the dedication of the Cannon Memorial Building at the Jackson Training School this afternoon. The formal dedication will take place at 3 o’clock, and several hundred persons are expected to be present when the exercises begin.
At 12:30 o’clock all persons taking part in the program, in addition to a number of invited guests, were honorees at a dinner served at the school. The meal was prepared and served by cooks and students of the institution.
At 2 o’clock an inspection of the school campus and equipment was begun by a large number of visitors. The entire plant of the school was thrown open for this inspection, and the survey of the plant proved an interesting event for the majority of those present, most of them never before having had an opportunity to get a “close-up” of the school and the manner in which it is operated.
Among the most prominent visitors expected in the city for the dedication are Governor Cameron Morrison of North Carolina, Hon. David H. Blair, commissioner of internal revenue, and Mrs. Blair, and Hon. Clyde Hoey, former Congressman of Shelby.
