Made a Monument to Him.
From the indianapolis Sentinel.
Every lover of Fred Douglass who wants
to help build a memorial to that illustriouS
champion of the black race should know
that there is an Industrial school on
farm of 100 acres near Bull Run (A1anassas)
battlefield, and that it is desired to erect
there a building that shall be a monument
to Douglass, who himself made the speech
dedicatng the school last September. This
opportunity is set forth in The Washington
Evening Star by Miss Jane e. Thompson.
a Virginia lady much interested in the In
stitution.
From the Boston Transcript
In a recent number Of The Washington
Star appeared communication noticing the
fact that the last appeal of Fred Douglass
to the public was for the rebuilding of the
Manassas Industrial School, whose main
building was recently destroyed by fire, and
suggesting that fitting memorial to him
would be to respond to this appeal and
erect a suitable building to the honor OF
his name Miss Jane Z. Thompson, the Vir-
ginia lady who has done SO much for the
school, seconds the appeal and suggests
that 1t take the form Of subscriptions for
building to his memory, costing, including
equipments for Industrial training, not less
than $4,000, to be known to future genera
tons as a monument erected by grateful
hearts and loving hands to the recognized
leader of his race, and the brave defender
at home and abroad of the principles Of
American liberty.

Other Colleges May Follow Suit.
From the Baltimore Bun,
Now that Harvard has virtually forbid
den it's students to take part in intercol-
legiate foot ball. 1t may be expected that
other COLLEGES will follow her example and
suppress the brutalzng and dangerous
practices to which an otherwise manly
game has been perverted. If Intercollegiate
contests are forbidden, the evil will doubt
less be knocked out OF the game in local
contests. This will be better than knock
ing the life out Of learning and breaking
young mems necks. The faculty of Har-
ward simply voted that mo student under
their charge should be permitted to take
part In intercollegiate foot ball contests"
There are duties which professors owe to
the students in their charge and saving
their lives from unnecessary risks Is one
of them.
