OUR MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.

DR.. Booker T. Washington perform
ed most gracious act last Friday, in
accepting the invitation to deliver the
main address at the dedication of our
Armstrong Manual Training School.
He has endeared himself more strongly
than ever to this community, establish
ing and emphasizing by his we'll
tempered speech a bonu of sympathy
between the people Of the nations
capital and the work to which he is
devoting his life. DR.. Washington set
forth the value and utility of technical
education in a light that many had
not previously considered it, and
reached cOnvincingly, many who had
never taken the pains to either hear
him or follow his reasoning upon the
printed page. The dedication of this
school will be remembered as the be-
ginning of a new dispensation in the
educational history of the colored
people of the city of Washington
a firm believer in manual training,
and an ardent admirer OF DR.. Wash
ington's industrial teachings is DR.. w.
Bruce Evans, the principal of the Arm
strong school, who fits into the work
as no other man in the District could,
and who brings to it an enthusiasm
that is spontaneous and infectious. He
inspires his pupils by his own faith in
the power and dignity of service. DR..
Evans is a young man, but one who
has been very active for several years
in church, social, literary. military and
educational circles. giving to every
duty faiLnful performance and care
fulness as TO the slightest details. His
success as conductor of the Hampton
Summer Normal, stamps him as one
born to lead, and whose forte is broad
and comprehensive management. The
institution in his charge has brilliant
prospect before il. and the authorities
are fortunate in finding so capable a
principal as DR.. Evans is proving him
self to be.
It is not amiss to award to Gen
George H. Harris, of the Board of Edu-
cation. the lions share of the credit
for urging and pushing to a fruitful
elimination. the appropriation for the
erection and equipment of the Arm
strong school The colored people have
in Gen. Harris a sturdy champion. and
their educational interests, advanced
or Industrial, could be in no safer

RANDOM TALK.

The ConServator, our patent back
Chicago contemporary, is at it again.
We have learned to pity the men of
small bore and of short vision. They
are to be more pitied when the sue
cess of fellow-worker is to them like
the Haunting of a red flag to the
brindle bovine. In its last issue the
aforesaid contemporary threw off a
few ''cOnniptiOns, and then proceeded
to pitch into Mr.. Jno. z. Bush, Re
ceiver of Public Moneys at Little
Rock. Ark, because The COlOred
American had occasion to speak of
him and to present his picture to its
thousands of readers. The Colored
American believes in industrial edu-
cation and in the practical things of
life. The burden of it's song in speak
ing of Mr.. Bush was TO speak of his
ability as an organizer. We quote what
he said of Mr.. Bush:
But the service which Mr.. Bush has
rendered which has reflected the great
est credit on himself and been of
greatest benefit to his people was the
creation and thorough and successful
organization of the Mosaic Templars
of America a beneficial organization
whose ramificationS now include ten
States and two Territories, a member
ship in excess of $4,000, and which,
since it's organization in 1882, has
paid out in death claims more than
100000. Mr.. Bush is the Grand
Scribe.

Late census returns show that there
are twice as many Afro-Americans in
the United States today as there were
in 1866. The death rate among Afro
Americans in cities where they live in
congested districts and where every
law of nature and sanitation is defied"
is nearly double that Of the Caucasians
and is far in excess Of the birth rate;
and this high mortality has led some
to think that the race is dying out
This is not so. The increase of Afro
American population in the rural dis
tricts more than makes up for the
loss in the cities, and the rural surplus
hocks cityward in sufficient numbers
to fill up the ranks.

A Southern gentleman residing in
Atlanta is getting up an organization
intended to promote the publishing
business in the South. He says, among
other things:
southern men will no longer dele
gatei the molding of thought and edu-
cation to those who have for fifty years
persistently,. even cruelty, ignored the
desires and interests of Southern peo-
pie. During all these years, in which
these concerns have been callous to
appeals and threats alike, the South
has suffered injuries that are beyond
possible excuse or pardon. Millions
of money have been taken for books
that were often offensive to the peo-
pie"
AS a matter of fact, the Northern
publishers have really catered to the
Caucasian South and published stuff
which is very offensive to the Afro
American South.
