Gated, industrious, and virtuous in
common with all humanity.
No class among us will WELD as
wide, or SO far-reaching influence
in shaping the future of the race
than its teachers. Of course the
church has to do its work, which,
however, is more corrective than
otherwise, while that of the school
room is formative. The teacher
has the child tits undeveloped and
most ~impressible state, fitted to be
moulded, according to the ability
of the workman, into a vessel Of
honor or of dishonor. Prevention
is better than cure. 1t is therefore
as necessary to have good moral
teachers as it is to have good, pious
ministers. How important is it,
then, that teachers should be vir-
tuous in character and exemplary
in conduct, q qualification too often
overlooked by Superintendent,
and not insisted upon ty commit
teemen and parents. The race will
never advance faster or higher than
its teachers who therefore should
teach not so much for twenty-five
or forty dollars as for race progress
upwards. They should be persons
who have at heart the interest of
the race, and who, going into any
community, would assume a high
moral position, and say to the
people, "Come up here" instead
of descending to the peoples level
for the sake of "flthy lucre."
What we mean by q religious
teacher is not a sectarian bigot, but
a practical believer in the doctrines
Of Christianity. He who sneers at
youthful piety or SCOTS at religion
should not be tolerated as a teacher
by the people. The foul-mouthed
swearer and blear.eyed drunkard
should be stunned as something
lecherous.
A teacher should bea gentleman
or womanin the fullest sense of the
term.
For the last eighteen years we
have followed closely after politics;
for the next eighteen years let US
try education and character build

The field of industry, agricult-

der the new regime, we must either
improve ourselves In these callings
or yield to a more cultured and
scientific rival. We are no longer
deluded with the impression that
freedom means idleness. We have
long since despaired of the "Forty

realized in the fullest sense of the
term, that "Life is q struggle"

academy building at which a fine
gold headed cane was presented,
by Prof. Heritage, on behalf of
the citizens Of Washington, to the
orator of the day, G. A. Mebane.
In accepting the cane Mr.. Mebane
said:

Righteousness exalts q nation;
but sin is reproach toany people,
This simple truth of Holy Writ is
exemplifed in the history of ma
tions. What is true of the whole
is true of any or all of its parts.
The colored race is demoralized,
not from their own choice, nor on
account of inherent infeliority, but
by force of circumstances En-
shaved, chattelized, and outraged
for more than two centuries, they
still wear the badge of disgrace;
and every effort to prevent them
from rising in the scale of being,
in intelligence, wealth and the
highest attalnable standard of moral
excellence, has been systemat' cally,
perseveringly, and unscrupulously
applied. The race, however, must
be elevated. Legislative enact
ments can not do it, only so far as
they secure to us the protection of
the law in the legitimate pursuits
of industry and happiness, and en-
sure the just and equitable admin
istration of the common law. Our
permanent elevation must come by
the energy of genuine merit, which
no opposition, however powerful or
determined, can long suppress
The race will advance by an exter-
nal law of progress lust as fast,
