The object of the conference was to
Law plans to secure a firmer hold upon
the industrial resources of the land and
to organize for systematic effort,
through plans similar to those in vogue
at Hampton and Tuskegee. The people
heard him gladly, as he answered the
question: 'What shall we do?'-which
query is being discussed by every Negro
newspaper, in every Negro pulpit and in
every assembly where Negroes meet.
Taking as his theme The Relation of
Agriculture to Christian Civilization"
he advised the people to stop crowding
the cities and buy land-a little at first,
and then more and more. COlored men
with families could do better on the
farm; there they could give each of their
children employment; some could go to
the mill, some feed the stock, others milk
and make butter, etc. Country life
would be more healthful and the fearful
death-rate among us would be decreas-
ed. The young men and women would
escape the demoralizing influences OF
city life Farm life would foster indie
pendent living and hi9her thinking
among the colored people. 1t would
lead them to contemplate nature and tC
have more rational ideas of God anc
religion
Immigration, he said, is setting south

quently compelled to accept places that
barely afford them expenses or remain
idle through ignorance as to where de
sirable vacancies may be found
1t is readily apparent then that the es-
tablishment of a central point. where
only the best talent IS registered. would
subserve an almost Indispensable need
to both school and teachers. 1t would
obviate the necessity for endless cores
pondence for a teacher or a position
which more frequently results in neither
getting what is wanted than otherwise.
Ii is Just such a purpose that 1t IS the
endeavOr of the National COlOred
Teachers Bureau of this city to fulfill.
This institution has rapidly expanded
its field of usefulness and is now being
drawn upon by most of the represent
ative schools and colleges throughout
the country for their teachers. Its rapid
success is due to the fact that positively
none hut fully qualified and capable
teachers whose integrity and character
can be vOuChed for, are registered and
recommended for positions, thus lnSplr-
ing confidence and giving such high
character TO its work as to invite wide
spread attention. 1t is 4 matter of some
surprise that its projectors have always
been more handicapped through lack of
suitable teachers to take positions than
vice versa. The columns of this paper
have attested this many times in the
past by carrying special advertisements
of this bureau for certain kinds of teach
ers wanted at once to take splendid pay
ing positions.
The bright young men and women al
over the country who desire to-teaCh and
to get places commensurate with their
ability, will do we'll to investigate this
agency. Its promoters are men of hon
esty and responsibility who are as anx-
iouS TO build up an institution of higf
character as for the paltry remuner-
alton there is in 1t. As a conspicuous
evidence of their extreme fairness, no
a dollar is required of anyone until (;
position has been secured and entered

They have no time for politics. Our old

Gods word went forth not TO return

Negro of 1902 is not the intensely God
fearing Negro of 1862. His new envi-
ronments are rapidly undermining his
belief in an over-ruling Providence, and
unless he is called back to agricultural
life. there is danger of his becoming.

Young Negroes seem interested III haV-

Our bows and girls are debarred from
the factory and the store as clerks, and
from the mechanical world by trades

they can make living and be kept out

Some Leftover Reflections About MIR.

Our clever friend, Prof. Alphonso o.
Stafford, came down from Baltimore last
Saturday to take in the drill of the High
School Cadets Since he became mem
Der of the faculty of the Baltimore High
School. Mr. Stafford is growing in ayoir-
dupois and increasing in dignity, al
The colored American., 1902-05-31

though he has always been gifted with
A gracious, sunny and attractive pres
ence. Mr.. Stafford is a fine type OF the
high-grade Afro-American hterateur,
and has 1audable ambition to produce
that will live in the annals OF
the "art preservative." His forte IS his
tory. and his superior talent in that dl-
rection was made manifest during his
several seasons at the Hampton Summer
Normal. He is the author of neat lit
tie work illustrative of Negro history,
which fills a long-felt want to the stu
dent who wishes to know where to ind
a comprehensive treatment OF Negro de-
velopment along every line of activity.
If the Man on the Corner has any 1ntiu-
ence with the authorities at Baltimore
he ~wnnld whisper to them that the Ne
gro child could not be placed IN bet
ter atmosphere for imbibing race pride
and lofty ideals than to be under the his
torical guidance of Prof. Stafford.

ed and Mrs Washington gets jail SEN
tence of eleven months and twenty-nlne
days. The people rallied to Mrs. Wash
inptons aid, for her act had in 1t many
apparent elements of justification. Cen
eral interest in the case, however, was
permitted TO die out through the short
sighted and assinine policy of the pro-
yincial attorney that Mrs. Washington S
misguided friends foisted upon her. The
heaviest contributors gave their money
for legal talent with the taclt understand
ing that ex-COngresSman George n.
White would be placed in charge OF the
case, and he had consented to serve, tax
ing no note of the size of the fee, as his
| first wish was to secure the ends OF
| Justice. The lawyer, who had under
taken the preliminaries, declined to per
nit Mr.. White to become an associate
counsel. and not only insulted HIM, but
made a demand for a small sum that had
been paid to Mr.. White bv klnd-hearted
friends of the oppressed. Mr.. White
simply returned the money to the donors
and washed his hands of the matter. Ii

Some one with little to do and con-
siderable less sense has been circulat-
ing reports that there many cases of
small pox in Denison and advising peo-
pie to stay away from town. 1t was re-
ported IS miles away that Denison
Normal school was closed owing to the
disease, and many students have been
kept away owing to these reports.
There is absolutely nothing in the
rumor-there has never been case at
the college or near it. The health of
students attending is above the aver
age and there is no fear of small pox
breaking out. Whoever circulated
the report is in small business.
