A HOPEFUL NEGRO MOVEMENT.
An Appeal Made for Promising Vir-
ginia Institution,

One OF those seif-helping institutions OF
the South which appeal 10 the practical
as well as the phianthrOpic has lately
been represented Ia Boston by It's presi-
dent in an attempt 20 enlist Northern aid.
The purposes, aims, history and needs OF
the Negro RefOrmatory Association are
thus stated In q communication from John
il. Smyth. president OF the society:
This association Is the result Of a
consciousness on the part OF the board
of directors OF the moral deficiencies Of
thousands Of negro children among the
seven hundred thousand negroes OF Viz
ginia. The board OF directors is composed
Of twenty Of the most representative men
in intelligence and character in the state.
The advisory board consists OF seven OF
the leading and best white citizens Of Nlr-
ginia.
on the 18th Of June. 1897. the assocla-
ton was incorporated, and entered upon
it's mission of attempting 20 raise by
contributions sufficient money TO organ

of 1904 acres Of farm land, a thousand

ing cOmDetent persons as instructors Of
the inmates The girls az we'll as the boys
will be taught some branch OF scientific
farming aside from other employments.
becau.s the revenue for paying the run
Ming expenses OF the reformatory must be
derived from cultivation Of the SOIL that
the institution may be self-supporting'
and not an annual pensi0ner upon the
philanthropy Of it's friends and the pub
lie. The food and clothing of the inmates
will be furnished by the State 70 the ne

buildings for dormitOries. and In which
trades are 10 be taught and necessary
stock will cost about 10000 additional
The work will be entered upon just as
soon as the land Is paid Tor.
The necessity for the present appeal
for aid is due 10 the fact that Virginia
Is the poorest in money resources OF any
one OF the former Confederate states.
The ravages Of war were greater IN Vir-
ginia than in any other State. The
problem OF reconstruction with which
the State successfully dealt. with negro

The thirty years Of freedom enjoyed BY
the negroes. coupled with school advan-

that they can become learned. but II Is
equally demonstrated that mere scholas-
