The Negro in the south.

hoV. Ihomas Dixon, or New
YORK, is writing some excellent
articles for the New York Her
aid on the negro in the South.
In his last article on Negro Edu-
cation in Southern States, he
shows what we are doing to
wards educating this race, and
says the South today is making
more sacrifices for the educa
tion of the negro than many
Northern States, including the
wealthiest and most cultured.
He contrasts North Carolina
with Massachusetts,, showing
that our own State, in proper
tion to wealth, makes about one
quarter greater sacrifice for the
cause Of popular education
than M assachasetts. However,
he thinks that the education
Of the negro through our com
mon schools is more or less of a
failure, and more or less of a
curse. That there is a lack of
industrial training, and along
with the rudiments of learning
colorsd children too often ac-
quire a positive dist@ste for
manual labor. They get the
idea into their heads that they
must "rise," and are taught to
despiss the plough, the smith his
anvil, the carpenter his tools,
consequently the South il not
producing competent negro far
mers, smiths and carpenters
Rev. Dixon thinks reforms are
imperatively needed and he is
right, too. He speaks of one Of
our most prominent colored
men in the following manner:
One of the br&iniest negroes
in America, one of the truest
men / know, black or white, is
the Rev. J. c. Price, president
of Livingston College, North
Carolina. He is president Of the
Afro-American League, which
has for its purpose the elevation
of the negro through education
and the accumulation of proper
ty. This man is not simply a
true lover of his race he is =
man of the highest attainment
of character, Al orator Of mag
niticent power. He will be re-
membersd as the man whom
President Cleveland appointed
Minister 10 Liberia in his first
term, but who declined the post,
which he did not seek, and has
continued his work in this little
village of North Carolina.
Price says Of the negro, in one
of his recent addresses TO an
audience of negroes:-"Changs
the condition of tho negro, and
you will change the attitude of
the white race toward him.
Black is not what is the matter
with you people; it 10 simply be-
cause,you are dirty and ignorant
and superstitious. Change your
condition, aud | will guarantee
the world will change its atti-
tude toward you."

Crusade Agaiast ISisslll I.

DR.. Probst, Secretary Of the
State Board Of Health, of Col
umbus, o., appeared before this
Pastors Union of that town and
urged their &C operation in two
sanitary reforms. One is to
stop the custom of indiscrimin-
ate kissing and the other to
abolish the use es the same cup
in the administration of ssthe
sacrament by several hundred
people.
DR.. Propst explained .tsh.at the
most certain and, most danger
Gus transmission of the germs
of disease is by his mouth to
mouth method. He cited the
almost universal habit among
ladies Of kissing friends on
greeting them or bidding
thom good-by, Of zissing babies
and children and lrging babies
and children to kiss each other.
Pastors, too, usually consider
1t a part of their duty to kiss
the babies of theie parishioners.
All this was well meant, but it
was as dangerous as it was per-
functory in many cases. He
quoted Moses as z sanitarian Oh
this subject, and said the great
lawgiver would not have toler.
ated either the kissing or tbs
common cup custom in the sac
ramental administration. The
clergymen asked Cor some prac-
tical suggestions as to how to
obyiate the danger pointed out
in the communion service. Sew
eral were given, but the one
considered practical was that
each cemmunicsnt have his
own cup. A resolution to do
all possible to briag about these
reforms was adoI cd.
The DR.. eYidei. .tiy does net
like kissing and the result Of
his crusade against it will DO
apxiously watche also that of
.he sScramental cGp reform.
