THE SLATER FUND.

The Slater fund is used solely for the edu-
cation of the negroes. Unlike the Peabody
fund. it is not confined TO State schools. De-
nomlnational aud private schools are aided as
well. The chef object is to encourage nor
nal and industrial tanning. The majority OF
the institutions aided are those which have
been established by several Christian denomi-
nations nj the North. The Congregationalists.
MethOdists. Baptists and Fresbyterians, about
in the order stated. have been most liberal
in their benefactions, and with ONE little
assistance from -Episcopalians, Friends and
Lutherans. contribute annually several hun
bred thousand dollars.
Every school aided by the Slater fund, and
every important school for the negro race in
the South pubic schools excepted, approve
and adopt industrial training as "a part Of the
regular course of instruction. This tends to

HON. R. B. HAYES WENT WITH HIN.
A Marked Improvement In Buildings and
Pupils. But tho Genius Tutelary IL Still
Desired I'm Some OF the States.

Hon. r. B. Hayes and the Hon. j. L. N.
journey through the South. inspecting
schools aided by the Peabody and the Slater
funds. These gentlemen are members both
Of the Peabody and the Slater boards Of
trust. The ex-President is the president Of
the Slater fund and DR.. Curry is the general
agent Of the former and chairman Of the
educational committee Of tie latter aud.
therefore, more than any other single person
practically charged with tho administrator
Of these two great educational agencies.
The visit extended through the States on
this side of the Mississippi river. The
lOurneying was fortunate as TO time. because
they were enabled to attend the oxpositions
in Augusta and Montgomery. and 10 travel
with some of the leading representatives OF
the American Bankers Association. tx
President Hayes said Mt Asheyllle that he and
DR.. Curry had determined at the beginning OF
the trip not to make any speeches or attend
any banquets or extra dinners, but had been
compelled since TO violate the agreementfrom
three TO five times a day.
SOUTHERN SCHOOLS.
A reporter Of The T1fEs had an interview
with DR.. Curry last evening and elected from
him. response 10 several inquiries.
Please tell the readers OF TIE TINES what
progress in education YOU observed in the
South and what benefits have been derived
from the fund -
He replied: Since the close Of the war the
progress Of education in the South has been
mainly in the establishment and support OF
public schools. and the late census shows a
marvellous increase in schools, pupils and ex-
penditures. Both races are included in the
free school work. Short sessions and incom-
petent teachers are the chief defects.
The latter is gradually being remedied
bv norma schools and teachers insti-
tutes. All the Southern States are
engaging actively in this work. which the
Peabody education fund stimulates and sup
plements. The income Is now applied almost
exclusively 10 teacheT-training and the State
superintendent cooperate cheerfully and
efficiently with myself in perfecting these M
valuable ad% juncts of the school system. Mis-
sissippi and Florida are not now beuefciaries
of the fund, aid having been withdrawn from
them because of their refusal to pay interest
on the bonds which the trustees hold. but IL
is hoped that at the next meeting Of the board
tho former relation will be restored. Itseems
a little cruel that the children should suffer
eduoationally for the sins Of their grand
fathers.

YOUNG FIELD INDICTED.
The Charge Against Him Forgery-Trans-
action on Which the Charge Is Based.

tBy telegraph 70 the DispatCD.I
NEW YORK, December 1S.-The grand
iurv to-day returned an indictment against
Edwiu M. Field, of the detunct firm of
Field. Lindley. Wiechers d Co., charging
him with forgery IN the second degree The in-
dctment IL predCatei on tho statement made
Lv the bankers knauth, NacnOd kuehne.
Tho following IL the statement made by Messrs-
KuautD, NachOd & keuhne relative 10 their
connection with the Field-Lindley failure:
at seems that u Mr.. Reuter-, OF hamburg, an
uncle Of Wiechers, one OF the partners OF the
de!uuct firm, had inherited about plOS,OuO
from the Wiechers estate, and that this money
mad been left IN WlCCheIs's hands. The latter
used II for Specializing iu behalf OF the hrIn, ana
reported TO his uncle that inside OF sixty days
the money had realized q profit OF $4,000 aside
from the Interest. The uncle however, pressed
WitChers Tor the money, and the later there
mon, on behalf Of the firm, made Out one-iay
sight diatt for 400, 900 marks on firm In Aann-
hem Germany, DlueuhOpe ~ GaZer, with
whom they had had various transactions, but
with whom Field s. Hndoy at the time mad no
balance, nor did they expect to have any IN the
ordinary course OF trade. Ihey counted upon
covering this draft by means OF cable transfer,
and to Obtain the latter, there being no funds,
forgery was resOrted to.
,Stj1 November 10Th Field and Lindley ar
ranged that We should make cable transfer OF
4OS 600 marks, equal TO S1lS,UOU, 10 the firm
AZ Mannheim and 10 tho same time that We
should buy their thirty-dny sight bills Tor 32a,-
600 marks, equal u I 1000 on tho same hrn
in Mannheim, such Dhl being accompanied py
shiopiug documents for $4,000 bushels Of wheat
nor Inc steamship Triumph. Some days pre-
yiously tney had already sold to us similar bill
OF 100, 600 marks, equal 10 S4O,UOO, on the same
nrn, likewise accompanied Dy shipping 0ocu-
ments for as, 600 bushels OF wheat per steam
ship DOlCOnttl.
"An these shipping documents have since
turned out 70 be lOrgerles. There were no sucD
stcau,sbtps in port az the time, and there was no
anon wheat Fortunately We discovered tho
forgery before the draft was presented, and were
abla 10 stop payment and thus save our money
