(From the Milwaukee Sentinel,)
Probably, there was no auxiliary body
in the city that contributed more earnest
effort and accom- pl,shed such satisfs etc ry-
results in behalf of the local committee
during the preliminary work of arrange
ment for the recent convention of the N.
E. A., than did the Atro-American
woman's committee in looking after
and providing for the entertainment of
the Afro-American delegate s who attend
cd this interesting gathering. Realizing
his inability to cope with the problem of
looking after this class of visitoIe, on &C.
count of limited knowledge of the Afro
American people of the city, Sc cretary
Bruce decided to appoint a competent;
assistant who could relieve him, to some
extent, of grave responsibility After
looking over the situation and consulting.
with the members of the Exc cutive com,
mittee. Mrs Shelton Morris Minor, q.
High school graduate, was requested TO-
serve as chairman of this branch ofwork
with authority to appoint committee
OF assihtante. Accordingly committee
of ten ladies' was named with Mrs.
Walter Hawkins al secretary, Mrs.
Gilbert Whiteman, treasurer, and Mrs
Matte Grant clerk at headquarters,
respectively. Among the most promi-
nent educators sojournirg bere is E. W.
Brown of Washington, D. G. Mr. Brown
has been connected with the public
schools of the capital citv for dc zen
years or more, and at present is one Of
the three supervising principals of that:
city. M. Brown, like most men of ad-
vanced ideas of his race, regarding its
future outlook, is of the opinion that,
the solution to the problem does not lay,
alto gether in common school or even,
industrial education. He says that what;
! tia race needs most is to be taught the
principles and science of a good business
T, education. "The Negro must learn the
art of mercantile pursuits and enter into
, trade relations in ooen competition with
the civilized world" be said. Capital
must b interested in the manufactures.

labor south of MAJ on and Dixon's line;
e and continues to furnish at least two -
r thirds of it at present. This id sa of the
race being IL such dire ignorance of the
trades and arts is erroneous. Thousands:
of old mansions, relics Of ante b .!!um
days, or plantations throughout The
South, stand to-day az living architec;ul

of this class of artisans. What tho Afro
