oc.,rdance With mo ern ideas of edu
cation
The events OF The last few months
have been sufficiently pOrtentlOus to
cause he thinking people OF this cOup
try to reflect soberly upon the signs
presented in the sociological world.
The steadily advancing hostility, or the
ever increasing boldness OF its display,
toward the Negro In the United States,
should cause well-fOunded alarm and
inspire the Negro and his friends to re-
neWed effort TO find Or develop an ade
Quate check or defense against these
Ons aughts.
We yet believe that knowledge is
poR er,D and are therefore deeply in
terested in all that Conct rms education.
The school privileges in some quarters
aIe being curtailed, school houses have
been burned, school property looted
aud school laws enacted which are ad
verse to The interests of the Negro
These facts would seem to indicatethat
it is not the number or mass of the Ne
gtOes that Is feared by his enemies but
rather the intelligence of the Negro.
The understanding of this condition
should intensity the determination of
the Negro 10 acquire at all hazards
thorough education in accordance with
the latest ideas and be prepared TO
transmit to end bestow upon his de
scendenls the best educational status
possible.
The University was organized IN
1867. Designated in its ac0 of IncorpO-
ration rs university for the educa-
ton Of youth in the liberal arts and
sclencss;" forever prohibited by the
breadth of it's charter from discrimi
mating against applicants on account
Of their race, sex, or previous con-
dltiOn, it has proven boon to thous-
snds who were denied elsewhere the
privileges Of higher education, welcom-
Ing to its halls all seekers Of knowledge
and numbering among its students,
CONTEMPORARY the rich and poor, male
and female, black and white, native
and fore gn, it has treated them with
out disunctiOn and without difference.
From lis collegiate, normal, theologl-
Cal, law and medical courses have been
usheFsd into the world of activity some
OF tie brightest lights Of their respec'
live calIings. The university has un-
dergOne several TeOrganiZations to
keep it fully abreast of the times and to
meet The demands Of an ever advanc-
ing civilization. In keeping with this
policy and under the direction OF the
sklIlful hand OF President j. Z. Rankin,
j. d Ii. D. in 1898 the old Normal
Department was abolished and de-
psFtment was established, designated
as Department Of pedagogy, with Prof.
L b. Moore, late Of the University OF
Pennsylvania as dean.
The purpose OF this department as
The colored American., 1900-09-22

are the history, the philosophy, the
science, and the practice of education.
The work in general education aims
Q) to acqusint the student with those
principles and practices of education
which have changed the methods of
upon psychological hasls; [2) to lay
broad culture in the student himseI;
and (3) to create a spirit OF enthusiastic
devotion to the highest of all work. the
instruction OF little ch,ld. The Uni
vereity has made every effOlt toinclude
in the corps Of instructors and lecturers
in this department. some of the best
educators OF the country, numbering
among them such men as Prof Chick
erlng, professor in Gsllaudet College,
DR.. Klemm, specialist in the Bureau f
OF school text books; DR.. Mayo, who
for ninel cen years has lectured ON edu-
cati0nal subjects before the various
colleges throughout the country; Or.
Harris, United States Commissioner of
Education; w. B. Powell, late Supt.,
of the Washington Public Schools;
while as stated above the general direc-
ton has been placed in the hands OF
Prof Lewis B. Moore, A. M, Ph. D.,
a graduate of Fisk University and
post post graduate of the University of

OF Phi. D., under such men as the emil
nent DE-. Fullerton; Drs. La.lbertop

from the above, be apparent to all.
He is also member of the American
Pathological Association, which fact in
itself is certificate of merit.
Under such All excellent head this
department can not fail 10 do much for
all who will present thems selves as can
didates for its instruction. 1t particular
ly appeals to professional educators of
various grades who desire to fit them
selves for positions in colleges, normal
schools and higher institutions of learn
ing, or who wish to equip themselves
for the management of individual
schools or city systems. 1t offers an
opportunity for young men and women
to fit themselves to successfully carry
on the work that the prejudice of the
outh Is disseminating, and to rational
Iy erect and man systems that shall
be as nearly perfect as those of which
we are being deprived.
This department has the furthur ad
vantage Of being part of large uni
versfty In which it is established along
side of law, medicine, theology and
applied science. This brings within the
reach of the student far wider field
and richer resources for information
than could possibly be obtain by In
dividual effort.

The next morning we We're again up
at five, taking the train at 6 o'clock to
Lucerne, an all day ride. We rode for
miles along the shores of Lake Geneva,
passed Chillon castle, scene of Byron s
''Prisoner of Chillon'' and enjoyed the
beauties of rural Swiss scenery the
whole day. The country between Bern
and Lucerne is particularly charming,
the landscape much like New England
and everywhere dotted with the pictur-
esque chalets. At Bern we had a wait
of some little time so we had a chance
to see the new capital, beautiful
building, and other points of interest
about the city. Here we got our first
glimpse of the pretty Swiss costume
white waist, with black bodice orna-
mented with silver trimmings, en-
broidered apron, etc.
We reached Lucerne late in the
evening so saw little of the place until
the next day. The first object to be
visited here is the famous lion carved
by Thorwaldsen in the sandstone cliff
in memory of the brave men of the
Swiss guard who fell in defending the
Tuilleries. 1t is beautiful piece of
work and one that no visitor to Lu-
cernc ever misses. The Glacial Gar
uens are close by and these are very
interesting showing glacial action in
the formation of great pits or pot
holes as they are called, rounded out
as smooth as hugh bowls each with one
or more perfectly rounded stones lying
at the bottom. We had passed a cave
containing one of these pits when
sudden rush Of water caused US to look
back. One of the attendants motioned
US to go into the cave and there we
found curious sight. The water
flowing from the top of the cave into
the pit caused the huge stone at the
bottom to whirl very rapidly showing
the melting ice of the glacier had
formed these pot-holes-the constant
whirling of the stones gradually wear
ing into the solid rock.
Lucerne Is one of the loveliest places
we have visited and the ascent of the
Rigi, never-to-be-forgotten expert
ence. We will tell you of it at another
time.
