NEGRO EDUCATION IN 1ARYLAND
Estate INDUSTRIAL AND
MORTAL SCHOOL BILL.

Several bills have been presented to
this present session of the State Legis-
lature, praying that body to establish a
State institution for the training of col
ored youths along Industrial lines. What
actions will be taken as yet we are un-
able to state. 1t is fair, however. TO
suppose that the Legislature will estab-
lish State Normal and Industrial School
for Negroes, even though it be on a
small scale. Industrial training, coupled
with q common English education, is the
greatest need of the colored people in
this State. Whether the colored people
are granted this institution or not does
not destroy the fact that they of all other
people are most badly in need of if.
True, the cOlorcd people of the State are
helpless, and must solely rely upon the
humane feeling and friendly offices Of
the white lawmakers To what extent
these will manifest interest in the de-
velopmcnt and betteriug the condition of
the Negroes among them in Il practical
way remains to be seen
We are glad to state that there are
some members of both parties, IN both
houses, who feel that the cOlored people
of the State should be accorded fair treat.
ment, and some Legislation in their favor
should be brought about, and are willing
to lend their support in the establishment
Of this school. There are Others who are
bitterly opposed to enacting single law
looking toward the moral, industrial and
educational advancement of the race,
Strange to state, this opposition comes
from least expected source, and from
white members who are now recipients of
Negro support and suffrage. The State
funds may be limited and inadequate to
meet all the demands and requests Of the
public institutions Of the State. several
white institutions now asking for addi-
tional appropriations may be denied,
and expenses along many lines cnrtailed,
and these all may be worthy of helpful
consideration, still this is no lust reason
for absolutely refusing 10 grant the
Negroes, who compose large percentage
of the State population, one institution
that would benefit the entire race as well
as all the people in the State regardless
of creed or caste.
To argue that keeping the Negro ig-
norant, dependent and poor will make
him more easy to control, and better tit
him for the humble spheres Of life, a
menial servant, is folly in the most ex-
treme. To be governed by such illogi-
cal reasonings, is simply increasing n
class of thriftless, irresponsible set of
criminal wards and paupcrs who become
more and more q menace to &c dpd govern
ment, the peace and prosperity of the
community. Educate the Negro and gise
him chance in the race of life, then
should he prove himself a failure let
him die.

4 man said in the presence Of two
friends that he had spent about twen-
ty dollars for a time" His poor
family now needs money for food, fue!
and clothing. So many men have "a
time" at the expense of their families.
A man who cares for the sufferings Of
his family deserves not the name Of
man"
We especially urge the young men
of the race to learn trade, because
industrial education is the fouDdatiCn
on which society rests. The industrial
training is OF great Importance, for it
not only secures the means of Subsist
ance, but it effectnaily takes away in
ducements to idleness and vice.
Let every Negro ask himself these
questions What am l living in this
world for? Have duty to perform?
Am of any service to my race, tc my
country, to my State, and the United
government?

which DIR. Smith has deceived and mis-
spent its money, that lie is the greatest
man in it, worthy to be made one of its
Bishops. and the devil knows what else.
Now, the APPEAI. wishes to state frankly
to Phil Brown, the Republican Guide,
"Colored American" and every other
paper that Charlie Smith may hire or
buy, that the Sunday School Union of
the African NJ. f. Church, located at
Nashville, Tennessee, is in q state of
retrcgrcssion; It's finances badly man
aged: great sums, yes, thousands, over
$50 coo have been misapprOpriated and
Charles ;. Smith cannot give any account
of it, This is no lie, We are prepared TO
prove this statement, DIR. Smith and his
hired newspapers notwithstanding. An
other thing, DIR. Smith has not held his
General Board meetings regularly, and
the one that was held he kept the main
all important feature of the Department
in the dark Members of his Board,
whether it be reflection or any other kind
of Election, camo away from Nashville
without even knowing who did the Sun
day School Union printing, and the cost,
&c. The details Of that Department.
under the care of DIR. Smith, is not known
to a single man in the Church save
Charles Spencer Smith. Smith has been
monarch of all. He has used it for his
own glory and personal benefit.
Philip Brown asks not TO prefer charges /
against DIR. Smith and his Board, &c. I.
Smith has had no Board meeting since !
the scarchlight Of truth has been turned |
on his Department. When the time
comes somebody will be present with
charges. We have been charged as be-
ing cowardly, &c, by this crowd of ex-
ponents This is the first time we are !
willing to await the manifestation Of .
your accusation along this lire. We did !
not intend TO say single thing about the

Let the friends of DIR. Smith. VINO wish !

in defense Of their champion, and the
whole crowd of them will find themselves
in peculiar and ridiculous light. We /

DIR. c. S. SF1ITH AND THE A. n. Z
SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.

Several weeks ago conditions forced
an article from the editor of this paper
Oh DIR. Smiths management of the 4. NJ.
f. Sunday School Union. The article
was published in the Christian Re-
corder," the official organ of the African
Nj. f. Church. The writer of the arti-
Gle, Rev. S. Il. Tice, did not intend, and
would not do DIR. Smith an injustice.
Since the appearance of said article
several colored secular papers, the cdi-
tors of which know nothing about the
business management of the 5. 5. de-
partment in question, influenced hy
pecuniary or mercenary consideration on
the part of certain parties, who are viii
ing TO spend the peoples money TO carry
their points. Yes, these yellow Negro
journals, who are fleeing DIR. Smith to
sugar coat, ram down and palliate his
bad management in the throats of the
church. are houndering around, lying In
a voluble way known only to their sleek
selves, attempting to make the church

In mercantile life success depends
upon publicity. The merchant who
permits his business to remain I'M
trumpeted can never obtain promi-
nence; but he who insists upon max d.
ing himself known to the publ Q
through the medium of newspaper
advertisements will rise from OBJ
scurity and troubled fortune TO fame
and affluence. In like manner, the
successful merchant who has always
advertised can sustain and still farther
develop his trade. The advertise
ment does for business what the
ancient alchemists believed the
philosophers stone would do for the
baser metals.
