COLuRED TEACHERS IN COLOREJ
SCHOOLS.

Lynchburg, Petersburg, Norfolk
Hampton, Danville, Charlottesville,
and Manchester have put colored
teachers in their colored schools.
Only Richmond and a few other
localities in this State persist in re.
fusing to give the colored people
teachers of their own race. In all
those places where the experiment oi
appointing colored teachers to teach
colored schools has been tried it has
resulted in manifest improvement
upon the old system. Even Rich
mond itself Is no exception to this
rule. For the Official reports OF the
Superintendent show better per-
centage of attendance, scholarship,
punctnality and department in col
ored schools taught by colored
teachers than in those taught
by white teachers. What possibly
then can be the motive of the Rich.
mond and other school authorities in
appointing white teachers to teach
colored schools? We are 10th to
attribute this action to motives OF
sordidness, spite and Bourbon blind
sneas. VIZ ezenaratA -SrrAriStandAnt
Garnett from all blame IN this matter,
for he has done all he could officially
at least to give us colored teachers
for our colored schools. But the
School Beard not only disregarded his
recommendation to appoint colored
principals and teachers for colored
schools, they did what none oi
their predecessors had ever done to
any Superintendent-they took nc
notice of his recommendations and
appointed those whom he had not
recommended. The Board stickles
for precedent but here it does that
for which 1t can find no precedent and
for which there was no necessity.
We hope sound sense OF justice
will, before greas length OF time. in
duce our School Board to do unto
as they would that they should dc
unto them.

The Old Dominion has walked up
all at once and pitched into the jour
nalistic race. Nearly six years ago
the VIRGINIA SLAR sent forth its first
number. Since that date it has kept
steadily on, battling for the rights of
our race. 1t has never faltered in its
defense of the rights OF man and 1t
does not intend to do so in the future.
At the time named, it was the only
paper published by colored people in
this State. To day we have four such
journals, and we learn that two more
are in prospect.

meeting and reports from ten schools
were read. A committee on Nomi-

The Doctor spoke at length OF the
influence of Mohammedanism in
Africa. He said there is large
Mohammedan college IN Cairo cons
tanning 10000 students who are
preparing to spread thefaith of Islam
over the continent of Africa. When
they were assembled one saw whole

One fact the Doctor stated about
the close of the exercises was that
sixty years ago, a man named Lott
Cary left Richmond for Liberia with
six othsrs--all seven members of the
First African Baptist church of this
city. They planted a church on
Providence Island on the West Coast
CT Africa, and named it Providence
Baptist church. From this church
has sprung twenty churches in Libe-
ria. A son of one the seven alluded
to above is minister of the Gospel
and recently won over to Christianity

the sermon paid high tribute to

a NOBLE AFRICAN,

DR.. Edward w. Blyden preached
at First Baptist churrh in this city on
the 26th ult., before a large gather
ing OF people. He took bis text from
Acts 5:26. The Doctor uses manu-
script and speaks so rapidly that only
an accomplished stenographer could
note down his sermon. His discourse
was a broad and comprehensive
treatment of the Bible narrative OF
the conversion of the eunuch whom
Philip the Evangelist met in the
desert. The circumstances, indivldu-
ais, place and results were boldly
treated. The Doctor widely travers-
ed the field of ancient and modern
history, especially in reference to
missionary work in Africa, spoke OF
the successive attempts and failures
for centuries in the effort of foreign
ers to syangellze Africa. He dwelt
at length and with great earnestness
on the means and instrumentalities
by which the Word of Gods and the
decision of events declare it's eyangel-
ization must at last be effected.
-
Africans must be agents under God
for the spiritual regeneration of Afri-
ca. Protestants and Roman Catholics
had battled brayely but In vain; the
tide of opposing circumstances over
whelmed. The African fever caused
q frightful mortality among them;
