GEORGIA SCHOOL WANTS AID.
PROFESSOR J. H. ToRBERT MAKES AN AP-
PEAL IN BROOKLYN

Professor James H. Torbetrt. assistant principal
and financial manager OF the High and Industrial
School OF Fort Valley. Ga, talked in inter
esting way yesterday morning about the work OF
that institution IN the education OF coiored men.
following the sermon at the Church OF the Saviour.
in Pierrepont-st. Brooklyn Of which the Rev. DR..
Forbes is pastor He said in part:

ant about the South and its treatment OF It's col

The. education OF the black man. higher or in
oustrial is no longer experiment The work
OF the Atlanta University. Hampton, Tuskegee and
Fort Valley has long ago demonstrated the capa-
bility OF the black man to come up out OF the de-
graded and helpless condition in which slavery
left him a higher plane of enligh tenment and
usefulness. There are no unsCrupulCus agitatOrs
among the thousands Of graduates of these nstitu-
tons: there are no laggards; there crimi-
mails.
The influence OF these graduates purifes the
home life Of the colored people, condemns the one
room cabin mode OF living, puts shiftessness 10
shame and makes them love labor. Education
greatly increases the wage earning power of the
black man Of the South. AS Illustration OF this
