The St. Paul Pioneer Press few
days since said:
1T is not inappropriate to the gen
eral discussion as to the ability of the
Afro-American to hold his own, to
mention that the leader of the senior
class at Middlebury college, Vermont,
is an Afro-American girl"
Little things like that have happen
ed so often that there is really noth-
ing very remarkable in them except
the fact that with so much of such evil
dence in evidence, so many of the
whites refuse to admit that a mans a

Gently returned from the Philippines,
in letter to the Milwaukee Journal
says, among other things:
'tThe capability of the Filipinos for
self-government cannot be doubted;
such men as Arrellano, Aguinaldo and
many others whom I might name;are
highly educated; nine-tenths of the
people can read and write and all are
skilled artisans in; one way or another.
They are Industrious, frugal, temper

look out for themselves infinitely bet
ter than our people imagine.

this book the author aims to make the history of
our country from the framing Of the Constitution
down to the present day as interesting and ia
structive to children as possible. In order to do
this in the most effective way, important events
have been treated not as mere historical facts but
as the deeds Of living men. Many stories and
anecdotes are introduced at intervals throughout
the book, thus giving it q distictly personal tone
The children are thus made familiar with GU
greatest men. whom it is hoped they will learn to
love. honor, and emulate.
