Negro Education.
GENERAL y. J. MoRGAN's VIEWS AS
TO WHAT IT SHOULD INCLUDE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | read with special interest
your editorial of November 26th on
'sThe Future of the American
Negro" | want to thank you
heartily for giving so much space to
this most important question. do
not yield to anyone in my admira-
ton for the character and work OF
Booker T. Washington; he is wor-
thy of all the good things that you
say of him; and l sincerely hope
that the meeting soon to be held in
this city, to be presided over by ex-
President Cleveland, may not only
deepen and extend public interest
in Mr.. Washington's work at Tus-
kegee, but that it may result in a
substantial addition to his endoW-
ment fund. l sympathize fully
with Mr.. Washington's idea OF the
Importance of industrial training for
the Negroes, although [ might diff
fer with him, perhaps, as to the best
method of reaching this result. l
should lay less stress than he does
upon the trade school, and should
give greater emphasis to the higher
grade of industrial training proper,
such as is now furnished in Pratt
Institute and other similar institu-
tions in the North.
wish, however, to ask especial
attention to the second paragraph
in your editorial, where you speak
of the ''great mistake" made by the
friends of the Negroes after emancl-
patton in the character of education
provided for them. The great Society
whose executive officer | am, has
been engaged in this work since
1862, during which time it has
spent about So, 900, 900 in establish
ing and maintaining schools for tht
education of the Negroes. 1t has
at present under its sole manage
ment institutions of high order a

lanta, Nashville, Jackson and Mar

support of numerous other school
throuthout the South. The chic

COLLEGE work. Success to the Col
lege, and MESSENGER, Cor.
The Missouri messenger., 1900-01-26

the beginning has been to furnish
to the Negroes an education intense
ly practical and helpful. 1t has en-
rolled a great many thousand pu-
pills, the most Of whom have been
engaged in acquiring the elements
of an English education. They
have been learning to read, to write
and to spell; they have acquired
some knowledge of arithmetic, of
geography, and of English compo-
sition; multitudes of them have
never got beyond this rudimentary
stage, but have returned to their
homes with such discipline of mind
and such accumulation of knowl-
edge as would prepare them for the
ordinary duties of life. Certainly
no one could ask that less than this
rudimentary English education
should be impaired to those who
are to be American citizens.
In addition to this work, they
have received a moral training OF
inestimable value to them, so that
it is proverbial in the South that
pupils who have gone out from
these schools live exemplary lives,
and are not found among the shift
less or the criminal classes. In all
of the schools, also, there has been
more or less of industrial training
all the young women have beeI
taught ordinary household duties,
including cooking, laundry work
sewing, etc., and the young men
by being required to take proper
care of their own rooms and to as
sist in the performance OF school
chores-care of the school buildings
grounds, etc.-have acquired habits
of neatness and order. At Shaw
University in Raleigh, N. e., the
first president, the late DIR. Tupper
had his students make and burr
the brick and put up buildings to-
school use; at Spelman Seminary
| in Atlanta, Ca, there is a nurse
training school, where young womer
receive careful drill and instruction
which is preparing them for tn
useful service of nursing the sick
The young women from this instl
tuition are in great demand at goo'
wages; at Bishop College, in Mar
shall, Tex, there is an industrla
plant where thorough instruction

given in the use of tools for both
wood and iron work.
These are given simply as illus
trations of the fact that this Society
has ever had in mind, from the be-
ginning, the desirability of indus
trial training,
1t ought to be borne in mind,
however, by the friends of the Ne
gro, that there is another side to
this matter of education which must
not be overlooked. All the COM
mon schools for the blacks in the
South are now taught by Negroes,
and it is, hence, of the highest i'm
portance that there should be a
body of men and women especially
trained for the work of teaching.
The schools of this Society have,
therefore, laid special stress upon
normal instruction, and have sent
out into the public schools of the
South multitudes of teachers espec-
tally trained for their work. Isub-
NIT that this is just as important
for the progress of the Negroes as
the education of farmers, carpen-
ters and blacksmiths.

Fight ALL ALONG THE H.
Every Step in the Advance OF Gen BuiierS
Army stOutly Contested by
the Beers.

London, Jan. 23.-The Daily Mail
has the following, dated Sunday night,
from Spcarman's Camp:
There has been hot fighting all day.
AZ dawn our attack was resumed along
the entire line, all the brigades taking
part. We soon discovered that the
Boe1s still occupied the range of hills
in force, their position being very
strong. The range is intersected by
steep ravines and many approaches
very difficult of access.
''To-day the Beers who were driven
from their trenches yesterday took
cover in dongas and behind the rocks
with which the hills are strewn. The
forces, therefore, commenced the task
of driving them out, and set to work
with good heart in the early morning.
Much firing took place, and our prog
ress was slow, but gradually British
pluck told its tale, and the enemy fell
back to another kopje. We swarmed
on and occupied it, and then the attack
recommended with the utmost gallant
.ry
"The country simply abounds in hills
favorable to guerrilla warfare, and
our task is an ardu"us one. Neverthe
less, it is being grau ually accomplished.
Whenever any of the enemy were OBJ
served taking up fresh position our
field batteries poured in showers of
shrapnel, and the rapid movement of
the guns, followed by accurate shoot
ing must have greatly distressed them.
"The enemy were on the defensive
almost the entire day, save once, when
they attempted to Outfank our left,
and were signally checkmated. They
relied almost entirely on rife fire. A
few shells were fired from a heavy
piece of ordnance, but these fell harm
less. We now occupy the lower crest
OIL the left, and are converging slow.
ly, but surely, to the Boer center.
The Boer loss IL unknown, but must
have been heavy. The killed and wound
ed are carried away to the rear rapid
ly. Strong rumors are in circulation
that the Beers are retiring. The battle
will be resumed tomorrow"
