TORE ABOUT THE OGDEN EDUCA.
TiONAL MOVEMENT.
Progressive Farmer.

IVPIto>I'' al i'I'i'
We have recently received from
the Southern Education Board little
leaflet setting forth the spirit and
aims Of the organization. 1t accords
so completely with our reply to the
Henderson GOLD LEAF in last weeks
PrOgrcsstUc Farmer, reinforces SO ably
the statements that we then made,
that we are glad to publish it for the
benefit of Bro. Manning and others
who may have been misinformed as
to the spirit Of the Ogden movement.
The Boards statement Of purposes is
as follows:
Q"This Board enters upon its work
with Il faith, purpose and a method.
Its faith is in the moral earnestness
Of the South, based upon the splen-
did record Of what Southern people
have accomplished. unaided and
alone, since 1863, when with every
thing swept away they undertook to
build anew their civilization. Its
purpose is to reach the public mind,
to quicken the public conscience,
and to stimulate to self-activity. It's
method is to 90 before the people
with publications and by the means Of
attractive public speakers drawn en-
tircly from the South, to tell the
truth in kindly, just fashion, and to
plead for better things in the schools.
The education Of all the people is the
only security for the future 1t will
come when our brave people see its
necessity. The following principles
have been held clearly in mind in or
ganiZing this movements:
Il. The results accomplished by
Southern people since the war are
recognized as worthy of all praise.
Such a movement as this might well
apply to all parts CT America 1t is
needed in the South only because the
South had its all swept away in the
war between the States, is largely ru-
raj in character, and has two races to
develop. 1t is because the white
man in the South has the negro to
educate and care for that he deserves
both sympathy and assistance. This
Board asks to be allowed the privi-
lege Of helping little to do what is
really the duty of the whole Ameri-
can people.
-. The white men in the South
must be trusted to do all Justice to
all classes OF citizens and to act wise
ly in the educational uplifting of all
the people OF twelve members of
the Board, seven are either natives or
lifelong residents of the Southern
States. The active work of the
Board is left entirely in the hands of
Southern men. DR.. Curry, for TWEEN
ty-tive years the Southern leader in
education, is the supervising director
and chairman of the campaign COM
mittee which controls all the work.
%. If the negro problem is to be
settled Alright. it must be settled by
educated, intelligent white men and
not by ignorant ones. This being
the case, the highest welfare of the
negro lies in the better education of
the whites. The solution of this
problem is to be found in teaching
the negro to work, and so to be a
self-respecting citizen"

THE GOSPEL FOR THE NEGRO.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The incident at Big Bethel church
in this city Sunday evening is signiti-
cant and encouraging. The church
has one Of the largest Of the colored
congregations of the city and Rev.
Il. B. Stinson, of the Morris Brown
college, had been invited by Pastor
Newton to preach to his people, The
sermon was practical discourse
from the text, My people perish
from lack Of know ledge" and the
preacher earnestly urged that the
colored people Of the South should
learn the arts of industry, self-re-
! spect, law abiding and harmony with
their environment.
There was not word in the ser
, mon that should have given otfense
to any good person and certainly
should not have awakened antago-
nism in the spirit of any who pro-
fesses to be guided by the lessons Of
! the divine Master. The purpose of
the preacher was conservative and
wise to a degree. He is a man of eX-
perience with the lives of his race,
with their struggles, their vices and
their opportunities. He is devoting
his life to labors for their betterment
and he is brave and honest enough to
tell them the truth that would, if
adopted generally by them, make
them free from many of the evils
they now SO universally suffer.
1t was significant that the pastor of
the church took issue with the words
OF the preacher. 1t promptly en-
phasized to the congregation the diff
ference between good counsel and
bad counsel. BY the contrast they
saw before them an apostle Of peace
and a preacher of Christ of strife
and contention. The very act Of the
pastor proved the need for the Cos
pei that had just been uttered by
Elder Stinson.
1t was encouraging, we repeat, to
have this sharp antagonism between
typical negro leaders occur in the
face of their own people. Division
along the line of their differing views
is desirable. The battle for true
and hopeful policy for the negro Of
the future must be fought out be-
tween those who stand with Stinson
for honesty, purity and good charac-
ter and those who follow Newton in
''standirg by a negro, whether he
dees wrong or not" In the long run
the Stinson gospel will win and the
Newtoh's will be rated among the
| worst enemies Of his kiusmen

WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
Atlanta Constitution.

A list Of inquiries was recently put
before 600 negro boys and girls in the
Atlanta schools, having an average
are Of Is wears. The concluding
question was, ''What do you want to
do when You are grown" The an
swers throw flood of light on the
necessity for the preaching among
the negroes of the Booker " ash1ngtOn
gospel o: the SOIL
Out Of $50 answers from boys, 81
| wanted to be artisans, % professional
men, Il merchants, 16 teachers, 40
Civil Service Government Jobs, Al
'didn't know and only 81 expressed
desire to be music teachers, farmers,
servants. etc. And one can easily
depend that the fewest numbers of
the latter wanted to be servants or
tillers Of the soil, from which Wash
ington says the negro of the future
must hope alone to dig out indepen-
dence, wealth and self-respect.
OF thu $40 replies given by negro
girls. 100 wanted to be dressmakers,
% teachers, 80 music teachers, %
! trained nurses, II cooks, y ''didn t
know" and 10 divided among house
keeping, laundry work and other
domestic service.
From these figures and other data
accompanying them it appears that
about % per cent of the negro women
will prefer domestic service and that
the large ma ority of them think, of it
entirely as helpers of their own
households. Very few of them think
Of becoming domestics as a trade in
life.
SO far as the negro men of the
future are indicated, we find only
about ) per cent who are looking to
the farm or to the domestic employ
ments. They still mbibe from their
parents the notion that to follow the
pillow or handle the hoe is about the
| meanest calling that civilization opens
to the human being. They are aiming
high above the mental pursuits and
even the percentage Of those who are
seeking the manual arts is disappoint-
ingly small.
What is the logic of it all? 1t ac-
centuates the wisdom of Booker
Washington in trying to educate the
negroes of the South to see that the
labor Of the field is dignifving because
it brings competence and the content
| ment which can never be common to
the negro in the higher pursuits,
where even the best equipped white
men have TO fight fiercely for success
against competition. The wise negro
will seek the broad acres which are
in themselves the syllabus of his
declaration of independence The
foolish negro will continue to fly at
the moon and find his fate in the
pOtters field.

WHY LET DOWN THE BARS?
One Method By Which the Constitu-
tional Anne II dment Can be Rendered
inaperative and Absolutely WORTH
IpSs
Cartilage Blade.

Cartilage Blade.
Two year, since the white people
Of North Carolina overture" the
dread sovereignty Of negroism and
declared that henceforth and forever
the good old State would never again
submit to negro domination The
Constitutional Amendment was
adopted, placing certain qualifications
| upon the electors. The principal
qualification. the one of a knockout
nature and the one especially disas-
trous to the political hopes OF the
negro, was that provision known as
the educational qualification.
We have no fault to find Of that
measure. 1t was perhaps the wlsest
solution of a grave question. In our
| opinion, it was the only method by
which the white people OF the State
could overcome the grave dangers
| that confronted them, and we are in
clined TO feel proud of the fact that
we aided, to some degree, in the en-
| actment Of that measure and in the
winning of a white mans victory.
The negro is still with us and will
remain for all time. AS long as the
measures declaring him from voting
are operative and effective he will
make d useful, Obedient and submits
| sive citizen. But when these meas
ures and qualifications will have be-
come imperative, this race Will speed
| ilv assume the offensive political po-
silion Of few years since. Then it
will be that the great fight will, of
necessity, be renewed. Then the
white people OF the State will fight,
even under more adverse conditions
than in 1900, for political life and
| liberty.
We utter not one word against ed
ucati0n. We suggest no criticism Of
GOV. Aycock in the conduct Of his
great educational administration
We submit to the superior wisdom
| of our smart men and are proud OF
that stream of educational eloquence
that proceeds from the lips Of our
Governor in his journeyings over the
State and the South. Truly the sub
| ject is all that an orator should de-
sire.
But we advise moderation ami con-
| servutism Breathe life into dead
| Indian and he becomes a live Indian.
| Give him arms and he is an armed
| enemy. There is one method by
which the Constitutional Amendment
can be rendered imperative and alb
solutely worthless. The negroes will
seize this method soon enough. For
Heavens sake, Governor, don't speed
the day,
Is it wise to place the gun in the
hands of your antagonist? Why let
| down the bars?

Charleston News and Courier,
In his speech in the Senate on Fri
day Senator Pritchard, Republican, of
North Carolina, declared If we re-
tain the Philippine Islands, as we will,
the Southern States will retain the
bulk of the trade with the Philippines
and the South will be the chief beneti-
clary of the extension of the cotton
goods trade in the Orient" This is
very important. Ii Mr.. Pritchard
Will prove his point to the satisfac-
ton OF his fellow partisans the islands
will be abandoned within thirty DAYS
and allowed to pacify and civilize
themselves in their own way at their
leisure.
