The Ogden Movement.
Charleston News and Courier.

Charleston News and Courier.
The Charlotte Observer does not take
to 1.-The Ogden movement" which is in
tended Ostensibly to revOlutiOnize educa-
tional affairs in the South, on the ground
that the South cannot afford to be made
an object OF charity. 1t says that there
are worse things even than ignorance,
one of these being to learn to hold out
our hands for the benefcences of stran-
gers of whom we know nothing That
is Il very high and strong position to
take. 1t is precisely the position that
was taken by the New York Evening
Post, now one OF the stOutest champions
of the Ogden movement, in its great fight
against the Blair bill years ago
One of the chief men engaged in the
present movement is Mr. W. II. Baldwin,
to whose fondness for the negro the Oh
server alludes, another is Mr.. Ogden him
self, for many years mentioned with the
Negro Industrial School at Hampton,
Va; another is Mr.. H. B. Frissell, presi-
dent Of that institution; another is Dr.
Walter II. Page, who has grown away
out of his North Carolina clothes since he
moved up North, and there are Others
who hold rather extreme, or, ii you pre-
fer, advanced views on the race question.
and it is the influences behind the Ogden
movement which make it an object of
suspicion to the rejecting Southern mind
The next conference of the Southern
education board will be held in Rich
mond, Va, next month. We shall try to
find out at that time exactly what it is
after, and how it proposes to accomplish
it's purposes. \ great many influential
Southern men will be present. We some
times think that we are the most inno-
cent people in the world; certainly, we
yield to temptation readily. Just after
the war which ended ever so many years
ago, the promoter found that we had
great respect for our leading men. and
that we would follow them with child
like faith almost anywhere they might
lead us. 1t was for this reason that they
were much affected for heads of various
corporations seeking business in the
South. The promoter has not lost his
cunning. Some very fine Southern men
are mixed up with the Ogden movement
1t would be well for them to find out at
the Richmond conference the true inward
ness OF the enterprise.
