get to do. DR.. Shadd's training
and views on school matters make
him the very best man the Com

Mitchell, the worthy President OF
the Board of Trustees, will find
in DR.. Shadd the ablest committee
man our people have ever had on
these two committees.
DR.. Shadd will be wide awake
on the educational questions OF
to- day and will do much to rid our
schools of every remaining ves-
tige of the old rote system. de
believes in the "new education"
the underlying principles OF which
were SO mastery stated recently
by President James G.. Kennedy,
viz:
"The preparation of the individ-
ual 80 that be may successfully
pass from the activities of school
to the activities of life is no easy
task. That preparation supposes
first, that the individual knows
himself and that he is able to
choose the calling for which he is
fitted; and, second. that he is com
petent to follow the calling after
it has been chosen. A searching
investigation of the principles OF
race development reveals to US
three principles that should e
used in testing educational systems
and methods. First. that all edu.
cation comes through physical
activities. Second, that the acum-
ulated knowledge of the human
race has been acquired through
labor in the different occupations.
Third, that all thought has a ply
scal basis Applying these prin-
ciples to an educational system, it
follows that a system Of education,
to be in accordance with the true
law of development must first pro-
vide for the physical activities OF
the individual; second, has the
individual procured his knowledge
of the different studies through his
own labors or through the labora-
tories, and third, have knowledge
presented to the individual by the
objective method"
IT our fathers aud mothers of
to-day would solve the race ques-
tion in this country. let them read

From the indianapolis World,

The elite of Washington's color
ed society seems to be endeavOring
make Miss Tillie Herbert, of Tren-
ton, n. j., who is visiting this city
and has been the guest of Miss
Chase for several weeks, have no
cause whatever to prevent her from
having the most pleasant remem-
brance of sojOurn here and expert
ence of Southern hospitality. On
Friday evening, July 3rd, the ele.
gantly furnished and commodious
porlors of Miss Eva A. Chase were
thrown opeu. The occasion was a
reception in honor of her guest,
Miss TlIlie Herbert. The scene
was a gorgeous one. Miss Chase,
who is of medium height stood on
the right of her guest, while in
every direction could be seen cul-
ture, youth and beauty. The gor-
geous costumes of the ladies were
superbly grand. Miss Chase pre-.
seuted grand and green like
appearance as she in her usual
charming and courteous manner
stood beside her guest and intro
duced her friends, In a handsome
black lace gown she presented an
admiring appearance and attracted
great deal of attention. She is
always pleasant and it does ones
soul good to chat with her. She is
one of those ladies who not only
possess culture and the utmost re.
fnment, but she possesses witha
the most exalted moral qualities
Such a task of chatting and enter
tanning would break down most
young ladies, but she had a gooC
word for all, and made everyone
feel at home and happy. Miss Til
lie Herbert in whose honor tht
reception was given, wore a be
coming and handsome gown O
cream colOred net goods trimmed
with lace, a tiny como with brilliant,
adorned and secured her hair which
gllttered magnlfcently under tn,

some cogent reasons for the same.
The principal xreasons cited by

cerned should be accepted by them.
We are not in Washington, but
know that the colored people there
labor un"er the same dlsadva n ia

in the South.
We understand that Col. Arnold
is supported in bis efforts by all the
young men in Washington from
Louisiana, and we hope that color

always lend their support to the
breaking up of caste prejudice
wherever it may be.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The citizens of the District of
Columbia have every reason to
believe that 1t is the desire of the
District Commissioners to give
the people honest and upright
school trustees. Commissioners
Douglass who has the supervision
OF our schools has used every eff
ort to place good men on the
board of trustees. The editor, has,
Tor the last twenty years, taken al
active Interest in the public school
system: he has endeavo.ed to pro-
tect the teachers against, what
has been so prevalent in the
schools, too much familiarity on
the part of men who have brought
The community into disgrace.

man, and when he BEE named
him to the Commissioners it knew
that his appointment would me t

fications;o be eeDpmGgsa. maset. bhe differ

euce between a square foC- anG a

candidate for the place, hence he
will enter upon the duties of d
school trustee obligated to no fac
ton or clique, social or political;
he is aware of the necessary re-
7! f, rms needed as a member of the
High and Normal school commit

want a qualified and competent
principal of the High School, g
more advanced symtem is needed
