The Stream OF Life.

Life bears us on like the stream of
mighty river. Our boat at first glides
down the narrow channel, through the
playful murmuring of the little brook
and the winding of its grassy border.
The trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads, the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young
hands: we are happy in hope, and we
grasp eagerly at the beauties around
US; but the stream hurries on, and still
our hands are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is
along a wider and deeper Hood, amid
objects more striking and magnificent.
We are animated by the moving pic
ture OF enjoyment and industry passing
before us; we are excited by some
short.lived disappointment. The
stream bears US on, and our joys and
our griefs are alike left behind us.
We may be shipwrecked, but we can
not be delayed; whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens toward its
home, till the roar Of the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing of its waves
is beneath our feet, and the land les
sens from our eyes, and the floods are
lifted up around us, and we take our
leave of earth and its inhabitants, until
OF our farther voyage there is no wit
ness save the Infinite and Eternal

The colored American., 1900-05-05

a like understanding, and seven mem
bers on the Board Of Education, with
our proportion placed at two, is pretty
good as far as it goes, but it takes
away the object lesson we now have in
the form of seIf-government embodied
in the separate head for the separate
schools, without conferring any especial
benefit to take its place. If We must
have separate schools here-contrary
as it may be to the American spirit
and economy-the Negro should be
given all the advantages growing out
of the system thus forced upon him,
and be accorded every grade Of recog'
milton IN the conduct of the system
permitted him by his capacity and
availability.
Upon this theory, those wisest among
us have reached the position that there
is no necessity for yielding until the
battle is lost, for good and all, and
that the agitation which has brought
fruitful results up to this point, should
be carried on with unabated vigor,
until the law is finally passed and
signed by the President. The Negro
is in sympathy with the popular move
ment tor reform in the educational
system and for the Capitalization of
authority, but there is nothing in the
situation that calls for the abolition of
the Office Of superintendent of the col
ored schools.
The 10000 Negroes OF the District
of Columbia contend that the office,
with its honors, powers and enolu'
ments shall remain with us, Row,
henceforth and forevermore.
