1t is impossible to see how any
one who attended the sessions OF
the American Social Science AssOcIa-
ton which held its meeting at the Co
lumbian University in this city during
the week of April Goth, could feel at
all despondent for the future OF the
race. If the meetings had been especl-
ally arranged to give the colored pe0-
pie an opportunity to bring out their
strongest champions and give them an
opportunity to state their case, plead
their cause, and set forth the progress
of the race the result could scarcely
have been more satisfactory and help
full.

CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER,

Last year at the meeting OF this dis
tinguished association Mr.. Charles
Dudley Warner, who has since passed
to his reward, and who, by the way,
had been counted all Of his life as
a friend of the cOlOred people, deIlY-
cred q noted address in which he took
the ground, substantially, that the
higher education did the cOlOred people
no gOOd;. that their education should
be confined to the elementary branches
with industrial training, and that no
provision should be made for the col
lege training Of the cOlOred youths;
all they would need in the higher
studies could be obtained cheaper and
better in northern colleges, etc. This
vieyy brought out a chorus Of protests
from both races.

schools and domestic and industrial
arts in the cities.
When he had concluded he was
greeted with prolonged applause, ana
congratulated on all sides. he was
followed by Professors Moore and Geo.
VIM. Cook, of Howard University, both
of whom made notable contributions TO
the discussion.
T. B. SANBORN, ESQ.
"Home Building and Land Owning
by the Industrial Glasses OF the Unlteu
States" was the subject under discus
sion before the Department OF Social
Economy on Friday morning. L. b
Sanborn, Esq, OF Concord, Mass, the
eminent chairman OF that department,
gave a very interesting address upon
the subject.
Among those who had most felt the
need of homes, the speaker mentioned
the Negro, and explained how shlS slC-
uatiOn arose out Of the conditions that
preceded slavery. Mr.. SanbOrn quoted
statistics showing that the ownership
| OF land by Negroes had Increased 10
| latter years. He spoke Of the aid
| which had been given to the poorer
| classes desiring to acquire land by the
| cooperative banks, throughout the
| Middle West, especially.
| Touching upon the threatening IN
crease in Capitalization Of capital, MI
Sanborn brought his address to close
by stating that the antidOte to the ills
resulting from this tendency is, an(
always will be, the ownership Of lane
and homes by the individual

PROF KELLY MILLER.
This wear Prof. Kelly Miller was in
yited TO discuss this important sub
ject. This he did, in speech which
seemed to have been inspired. Prof.
Miller, one of our ablest orators, was
at his best. His audience was made
I'D of the thinkers Of both races. He
captured it from the start. For clear
insight, incisive statement, and COM
prehenSive grasp, it was away above
anything yet produced on the race
problem.
The education of the negro was not,
of itself, he said, thing apart, but an
integral factor of the general pedagOgl-
cal education.
Race psychology had not yet been
formulated. No reputable authority
had indicated just wherein the two
races differ in any evident mental fea-
ture.
In proposing an educational scheme
for the negro it should be borne IN
mind the educational constants which
admit Of no chronological variation.

ouality. The Ten Commandments, the
Sermon on the Mount and the multiple

racial idiOsyncrasies. The common
trunk of the tree of knowledge may
send forth branches in many direc
tions to meet local, economic ana TEN
Dorary needs. Many educators wOulC
establish for the negro a racial tree o.
knowledge, will its own peculiar rootS
limbs, foliage, flower and fruit.
A wise educational scheme for an!
class can be prescribed only ID tn'
light of its comprehensive status.
The needs of the race sweep the en-
tire circle of human interests. 1t ca
thus be seen what a complex ana Oil
ficult task one enters upon when u
undertakes to prescribe an educatlona
regime for such a people. 1t is PLAIN

1T WAS HEROIC TREATMENT.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
A Binghamton man began to hic-
cough last Saturday. He hiccoughed
up all day and all night and was hard
at 1t Sunday morning. Every remedy
that his alarmed friends gave him
seemed to accelerate the hics. People
sent in from all over town and rec
commended sure cures. And he steadily
grew worse.
Then a wise neighbor had bright
idea. He thought it all out by him
self He went over to the hiccougher's
home and was ushered into the room
where the afflicted one was fast hlc-
coughing his life away.
"Hullo," said the neighbor in light
and cheerful tone. "How's the old
soak this morning."
The sufferer rolled his eyes at the
neighbor in panied surprise.
Don't give me any of your crocodile
glances," snorted the friend. IF you'd
quit drinking when | told you to you

ton"
"Wh-hic-at's th-hic-at?" gasped
the sick man.

cent business on me-" cried the neigh

This was too much for the hiccough-
er. He said several very bad words as
he made dash at the neighbor and
they raced around the room half
dozen times-the hiccougher getting
madder at every jump-and then the
neighbor darted through the door and
escaped
The sick man flung a flower pot at
him as he raced down the yard. and
then he suddenly realized that his hic-
coughs had gone.

MASTERS SOBER REQUEST.

From the King: The policeman had
given his testimony. which was un-
qualifiedly to the fact of the old gentle
mans intoxication. Then the old ser
want was called to the witness box.
There was a mingled expression of IN
dignation and determination on his
countenance. He testified fatty, to
the surprise of the court. that the old
man was sober when he came home.
The magistrate proceeded to question
the witness:
