his work is the Negroes prescr t
refuge. Our failure to attend the
commencement at our own state
university has proved the concep-
tive opinion of the white Ameri-
can to be correct. The negro who
is looking forward to self-agran-
dizcment for the purpose of per
sonal gain cannot appreciate pco-
pie who struggle for higher edu-
cation. Not until the formidable
foe OF human obstacles have been
conquered by the toiling student,
will encouragement come from
his own. But to encourage higher
education among our own, when
the value is of any Importance, it
must be done in the very incep-
ton of the students inclination,
TO cultivate the highest talents
predominant in the human mind.

The Negro
and

Education.

EuuCatlou. nlkneI cuuCa-
ton, whether il
is essential to the ameloration OF
the Negroes condition or detri-
ment. There is no question but
what all men has personal and
individual choice 10 the highest
attainments OF the human mind.
All men with minimum self pride
desire to make themselves one
among the best. The custom
that confronts us is; whether the
Negro appreciates the value of
higher education.
II is necessary for the race to
look forward to the power of
higher education that the race
might stand equal with other
races in social environments. in
tellectual culture and all elevated
things which man is capable of
achieving, While il is true that
higher education is essential TO
the Negro, our present condition
do not demand il, yet we should
encourage all who aspire to intel
lectual heights. The majority of
Negroes do not value the worth
OF the Negro of higher education.
whether II be from negligence.
jealousy or ignorance. time will
prove. but il is an existing fact
that the Negro who aspircs to
higher education receives but lit
tie encouragement among his
own. For example, we have situ-
ated in our beautiful city the state
university, a university which
ranks in efficiency with Yale
and Harvard. But can we say
that we appreciate the opportu-
mites TO receive higher educa-
tionr Out OF 900 graduates who
received diplomas. McCants
Stewart was the only colored
man recipient OF such honors.

otherwise than for the good Of our
citizens as whole would evince a
narrow spirit, which deprives one
of the proper executive ability to
deal just and prudent with all citi-
zens regardless Of race, color or
creed.
We have many Afro Americans
who are qualified to I'll the position
mentioned. All we desire is fit

character is above reproach, and
one who will feel the responsibility
of acting, in a measure, for the
sake Of the race, all of the alleged
requisites that is due a qualified
public character. This matter
should be looked after without de-
lay.
While it is true that many inn
prudent among us rejoice at each
others misfortunes, because of lack
of culture to appreciate our own,
when public duty is well per-
formed, yet perseverance and hui
man advancement adorns one with
the ever-ready and all-forgiving
power to elevate themselves above
human weaknesses. Let us all Sc
