| Miss Frances E. Willard, in speak
ing to a representative of the New
York Voice, said Among all the in-
stitutiOns for the colored race that
visited, the one at Tuskegee stands
pre-eminent. Founded by Mir. and
1rs. Booker Washington about ten
years ago without a dollar, it has
grown to be school with 800 young
people, 30 teachars, / 400 acres Of land
and % organized industries, its total
value being $2l5, 900. The basis of the
institution is industrial training ac-
companied by religious and intellec-
tuaI discipline; each person who
leaves the institution will have ac-
quired thorough knowledge of some
honorable means of support. have
never addressed a more Inspiring au-
dience than the teachers and students
of Tuskegee, and | believe they have
set the keynote for the truest deyel-
Opment of their race. Mr.. aud Mrs.
Washington are, today, the foremost
colored people of this or any other
country, and their high ideas are full
of sacred promise for the cause which
they have espoused with equal ability
and courage.

Occasionally it 5ehooyes us to
lay aside our modesty and Say a
word oil two about ourselves. We
know that it savors Of egotism for
one to be continually talking Of his
own merits, and of his own ability,
but at times even little egotism is
excusable. The AFRo-AMER1cAN
issues today its second supplement
by reason Of pressure Of advertise
ments and other matters of intense
interest to our people. 1t is easily
seen that the AFRo-AMERIoAN is
the leading organ of the race in
this State, and will compare favor

OF the country. No other paper

Baltimore now has the reputa-
Of being one Of the greatest educa-
tional centers in America. This
honor came by the establishment
and gradual growth IF Johns Hop
kins University and other schools,
which are known in America and
Europe, because Of the training
they give. This advancement made
along the educational line in this,
our Southern Athens, is, without
doubt, very gratifying to the adj
vance guard IF citizens here i'll
Baltimore, who entertain the hope
that true sentiment Of education
is at work and Will eventually do
for Baltimore, what it has done for
Boston, New Haven, Chicago and
other cities. We confess that the
desired sentiment is snail-like, 50
tar as it helps Afro Americans,
and yet we find some encourage
ment in the fact that true education
Is power, and that it Will long, OF
short, purge out of the minds of
men who thirst for true education
every idea that has no place in the
true system of education. Harvard,
Yale, and the Chicago Universities
have purged the communities and
territories in which they are loca-
ted' and as q result, students Of all
