as much as for the mechanic a knowledge
OF industries and of agriculture was essen

In one OF our largest cities declared that
the work done in his schools was super

so little knowledge of tools. The Teach

Gently purchased at tremendous expense

BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

To his many other gifts Mr.. Booker
T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator,
author, and publicist, adds that of per-
suasiVe oratory. Possessed of a rich,
sonorous voice, an excellent memory,
a fine sense of humor, all combined
with large and varied intellectual re-
sources, he never fails to rise to all
occasions where good oratory is ex-
pected and not only fulfills the eX-
pectations of his audiences but more
often goes beyond them. He Was
called not long ago to speak before
civic club in New York, which in the
course of its existence has had before
it the most distinguished orators of
our day, and the founder of Tuskegee
easily came up to the standard of the
highest. His address, which had to
do with the conditions and prospects
of his own race, was: full of wit, wis
dom, and pathos, and created an i'm
preston that will never be forgotten.
That this son of a slave mother is also
a writer of unusual force and bril-
liancy is shown by his up From
Slavery" and the later book, 'Charac-
ter Building doubleday, Page & Coz
rbOth of which have had an immense
sale both in this country and Europe.
/ The interest and charm of Mr.. Wash
ington's writings lie not only in the
rare and peculiar interest of their
subject matter, but also in the clear
fness and simplicity of his style and
the intense earnestness that pervades
all his work. His writings, like his
spoken words, attract and hold, be-
cause they are felt to be the message

TRAINING IN
ITS RELATION TO LIFE.

DIR. DuBois's second criticism is that
the lines of study in industrial schools
have not been differentiated. He saws
"f carpenters are needed it is we'll and
good to train men for carpenters if
teachers are needed it is well and good
to train men for teachers. But to train
men as carpenters and then set them to
teaching is wasteful and criminal and
to train men as teachers and then refuse
them living wages unless they become
carpenters is rank nonsense" +" The word
" criminal - would seem a little strong.
One of the most successful college presi-
dents in this country Is currently re-
ported to have learned carpentry and 20
have considered it the most valuable part
of his education. The Jews declared that
a failure to provide boys with trades was
the same thing as leading them into
crime. The German princes are taught
trades as preparation for their life work
Some of the most successful teachers that
Hampton has sent out have taught trades,
and we have not considered such instruc-
ton either wasteful or criminal, but an
important part of their training for
teaching.
Dr. Dubois finds that there are few
tools in Negro houses. Their knOw1-
edge of things, their experience of life, is
most limited, and therefore their under
standing of words is most deficient DR.
Dubois was brought up in a New Eng
land town and he does not yet seem to
understand or sympathize with the needs
of the average Negro boy or girl. In the
rural Northern community in which the
writer was educated there was a work
shop in every farmers home. The train
ing which the boys received in these
shops and on well-cultivatedf farms where
a great variety of agricultural work was

ORGANIZE THE TOCSIN.

The Indianapolis Recorder, a
sprightly weekly published in the
HOosier capital ululates in this style:
Why Don't:
The colOred lawyers organize?
The colored physicians organize?
The cOlored churches organized?
The co1ored BARRIERS organize?
The colored mechanics organize?
The colOred lodges organize?
The cOlored laborer organize?
The colored newspaper organize?
In fact, why don't the negro in his
diversified interests, organize for Mu-
tual benefit, Organization-by which
means, discussion of our rights and
privileges; our necessities, our achiev-
ments, and our failure and success
can be considered with profit to the
race.-But why don't we organize?
Why not organize local branch of
the National Negro Business League
and send delegates to Nashville,
Tenn, next August? You have the
Webbs' Willis, Knox, Lamir and
yourself as a nucleus.

carried on, made the work in the little
red schOOlhouse quite simple as compared
with that which is necessary in order to
give the Negro boy in the South any idea
OF life. The object of education is to
help youth to enter into life. How far
Negro boys, even in cities, are shut out
from the life of the average white boy is
little realized even by such thoughtful
observers as DIR. Dubois. How little the
average white youth, who goes through
the ordinary college curriculum, knows
OF real life is coming to be understood by
our best educators. DIR. @. Stanley Hall,
III recent article, calls for more prac-
ucal sort of manual training than is usu-
ally given. Dr. McMurry, of the Teach
ers College of New York, in a recent
address in Richmond, declared that

with the principles that underly it, Is an
excellent sort of manual training. The

$4,000 BONUS
IS OFFERED
BISHOP ESTATE WANT THE RAP
I'D TRANSIT EXTENDED OUT
PAST MOILIILI TO KAIMUKI.

Representatives of the Bishop Estate
and of the Rapid Transit and Land
Company went out beyond the present
King street terminus of the electric
road this morning to inspect on the
ground, the land which is offered by the
Bishop estate to the Rapid Transit
company as a bonus for extending the
electric road out to Kaimuki.
The Bishop estate owns considerable
land which will be benefited by this
extension of the road. 1t has offered
to the street railway company certain
tracts of land along the proposed ex-
tension. The land is valued at $l0,-
900 which it will give to the road as a
bonus for the extension.
The trip this morning was to show
the officers of the road the tracts pro-
posed to be given. Frank Dodge went
representing the Bishop Estate. The
Rapid Transit company was represent
ed by L. A. Thurston, c. G. Ballentyne,
Chief Engineer Pringle, and j. A. GIL
man.
The proposal is a part of the general
proposal of bonus to the rapid transit
company to extend its King street line
out past the proposed Mckinley Memo
rial playground, to where King street
extended forms a junction with Bere-
tania street, and thence out past Moilii-
Ii church to the top of the hill looking
down to Waialae. The entire bonus
offered Is $4,000. To this the Bishop
estate offers to contribute the $40
worth of land. The remaining $4,000
is to be made up by contributions from
the trusteessOf Gear. Lansing & Com
pany, the Palolo Land and Improve
ment company and individual land
owners in the Kaimuki, Kipahulu and
other tracts benefited.
If the deal goes through, as there
seems now every reason to believe 1t
will, building operations for the road
will begin as soon as the park extension
is completed which will be by the end
of the month, and the extension Is eX-
