Education of the Negro.

Editor San Antonio Light.
It has been some time since L at
tempted to contribute anything to your
instructive paper. In so doing now, l
wish to inform my old patrons, and the
public generally, that will tender my
services as teacher, by opening pri-
vate school Monday, February l. for the
benefit of those who desire to avail them
selves of the advantages here offered. |
have tried, and think | will, secure
competent person to relieve me Of this
extra burden in the near future. ] wish
also to inform the public that my efforts
are not intended TO disparage the public
free schC OILS being taught among colOred
people My work is purely supplement
tarv: and intended to meet what ought
20 be regarded as pressing need among
this class of our fellow citizens, nor do
engage in this work for peCunIary gain;
for in that particular | am provided for,
ifnot amply. The one subject | with
emphasis urge upon the cOlOred citizens
of San Antonio Is, that they, or the city,
| should provide more amply for the edu-
cation and proper training of the colored
youth of this city, than what they now
| have. II this all important subject pass
| off unnoticed by the mothers and fathers
and friends of education of our youth.
! from any consideration whatever, the fu-
ture will reveal the sad result of neglect.
| In this sense and view, accuse no teacher
now engaged in teaching in public
school of not being competent, for they
have passed the examination, and II
they are not qualified In every reasona-
| BILE sense for the work in which they are
engaged, there ia no reason why they
should be retained since able and COM
petent negro women and men can be
procured, with proper care, and steps
taken in the matter. Who will treat
with me on these terms? II competent
Judges protest against the employment
and the paying of $4,000 year 10 pro-
fessors in our State University, because
of the.few who are able to take the reg
ular college course, among the white
students applying for admission, with
all the known advantages of that class
of our fellow-citizens, what may we say
with regard to the qualification OF the
oOlOred youth of the State, with theil
known disadvantages? When will San
Antonio be able to send ups qualified
negro boy or girlg The argument
against the higher education for negroe!
goes for nothing and have no signitic
canoe with, and among the thinking elias
of negroes. Yours truly,
MACK HENSON.

Don't expect an advertisement to bear
fruit in one night.
Bread is the staff of human life, and
advertising is the staff of business.
You can't eat enough in n week to last
year, and you can't advertise on that
plan, either.
A thing worth doing is worth doing
well. Athing worth advertising is worth
advertising well.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, because
in advertising he knows how to sell.
If you can arouse curiosity by an aG
vertsement, it is great point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
People who advertise only one" in
three months forget that most folks can
not remember anything longer than
about seven days.
Quitting advertising in duh times Is
like tearing out dam because the water
is low. Either plan will prevent good
times from coming.
A constant dropping will wear rock &.
Keep dropping your advertisement on
the public and they will soon melt under
it like rock salt.
Trying to do business without adver-
Using is like winking at Il pretty girl
through a pair of green goggles. You
may kaOw what you are doing. but no
ole else does.
1t is a mistaken notion that a fine
store in an eligible location, surrounded
by attractive signs. is a superior advcr e
tisement for the experience of most en-
terpriSing merchants is that it was better
to spend less in rent and more on adver-
Using.
Enterprising people are beginning to
learn the value of advertising the year
round. The persistency of those who
are not inundated by the cry of dull
times" but keep their names ever before
the public, will surely place them on the
right side in the end.
A mans sign offers mute invitation
to those who pass his place of business
his circular can only reach those tC
whom personal attention is given; but
| his announcement in newspaper goes
into the highways and byways. finding
customers and compelling them 10 con
