All roads lead to Hampton Institute
this year Dr. Bruce Evans is on the
ground there, and has onened a four
weeks course of normal training that
for scope, quality and popularity excelS
all previous efforts. The conductors
year as the head of the Armstrong Man
ual Training School here has strength
ened his grasp of the duties that devolve
upon him, and repeated successes have
added to his confidence in himself and
the loyalty of his followers Allen
Washington has assisted materially as
local manager OF the institute.
The Hampton Summer School can
claim for itself the honorable distinction
of being the oldest and best summer
school in the United States for teachers
engaged in educational work among the
colored people in the South. The pur-
pose of the school is to afford teachers,
especially teachers of rural schools, the
opportunity of combining the study OF
the common school branches and the
methods of teaching them with manual
training, including domestic science, do
mestic art, upholstering, benchwork, ag-
riculture and dairying. The work in
each subject is presented to the classes
in the same manner as it is presented to
the children in the best schools of the
country. This year an important feature
will be the practice school, which will be
typical of the average country school,
consisting of three or four classes or
grades Practical kindergarten work
such as may be accomplished in a school
of this character, will be demonstrated
The work in Manual Training will be
emphasized this year and will afford
each teacher the opportunity to develop
skill in doing and method in teaching
an increased variety of handiwork. Com
petCnt instructors will have charge of
nature study, grammar and composition,
advanced English, arithmetic, business
forms, geography. physics, psychology,
drawing, Negro ideals (history), civ
les, manual training. home cooking, tech
nical cooking, basketry, uphOlstering.

Refused to Reappoint a Negro.

New York Evening Post
 MT. Roosevelt has refused to reappoint a. black man as postmaster of Athens Ga, and has nominated a white man as his successor. The reason for the Presi- dents action was the fact that the negro was offensive to the overwhelming ma jority of the patrons of the office, who are mostly white people. including hum dreds of students at the State University during the greater paRt of the year. This is the sound principle to apply in the case of every postmaster-is a candl- date for the office a man who is satis- factory to most of those who get and send mail matter? If he is not. that should end the matter. and it makes no difference why he is generally unsatis- factory-whether because he is black in color, French Canadian by race, bla- tant inticel as to religion. a partisan of the most offensive type. or objectionable in any other way. There should never be a postmaster whose personality. for any reason affronts most patrons of the of- flee. Postotfices exist foU the public-not for individuals, or races, or even to en- force great principles.
