SEEKS YOUR AID.
Rev. J. w. McDaniels Asks Help for
Ambidexter Institute.

IlSNs -. w. mCOdntGiS ASKS TlSIP ICI
Ambidexter Institute.
Anyone who takes proper interest
in the rightful solution of the race prob
lem in the United States and who is
able to lend a helping hand to those
who are seeking to solve this question
and are actually doing so, would do well
to turn his attention to the AmbideXrer
Institute at Springfield, Ill. This school
is conducted on principles similar to
those employed by Booker T. Washing
ton at the famous Tuskegee Institute.
1t has the same end in view, the edu-
cation of the colored race in America.
The institute seeks to solve the race
problem on the theory that the negro
who is taught how to earn a good liv.
ing will become factor for peace and
prosperity. AS far as he is individual
ly concerned, the race problem will be
solved The greater the number of ne
groes that can this be elevated to high
er plane of living, the better will it be
for the future of both the white and the
black races on the American continent.
The school now enrolls 236 members
and has both day and night pupils. 1t
is co-educational and nonsectarian. 1t
is not selfsustaining, but it teaches
thirty-ive trades. Practical education
is the keynote of the school.
Rev. j. w. McDaniels, financial agent
of the school, is accustomed to make
tours of various sections of the cOun-
try in an appeal for financial aid for
the institute 1t was about year and
half ago that he addressed gather
ing at the Mankato Presbyterian church
in behalf of his mission. Rev. MeDan-
iels is himself full-blooded negro. His
speech shows that he has himself ac-
quired a very good education, though in
early life he had everything against him
in it's acquisition. His heart is thor
oughly in his work. He deserves all the
encouragement that can be given.

A special report of the census bureau
ted States are compelled to work for
their living They form more than six
per cent of the total number of workers
and the boys outnumber the girls almost
three to one, the figures being l,364,4ll
boys and 4S5,767 girls: That the Amer
lean nation is not made up entirely of
workers is shown by the total, 29,O73,-

Still, the proportion of workers has in

Manual Training in Grade Schools.

Washington Post.l
Ben g. Lindsey Judge of the Ju-
veni1e Court at Denver, Col, recently
delivered an address on the subject
SIS the Public School Just to the
Boy?" 1t contained a number of sug-
.est;ons that may we'll be considered
by those Interested" in sociological
questions Judge Lindsey's address
was based upon observations made in
cases brought before him in which
he was required to sentence boys to
the Colorado State Reform School, at
Golden. He is convinced that the
State does not do justice to the boy
by failing to provide in its public
schools the means of learning trade,
before the path OF crime is entered
upon.
Educational statistics show that
very large percentage OF the pupils
in the public schools of the nation
close their school education with the
graded course, and do not enter high
school In nearly all of the large
cities there are now manual training
high schools, but they are closed to
the class to which they would be of
the most service: the large number
of bows who are compelled to earn
their own living are not able to enter
upon the high school course. When
these boys go wrong they are sent 10
the reform schools and taught trades.
Judge Lindsey contends that they
should be put in the way OF learning
some trade in the graded schools.
The Judge declares that six boys
brought before his court asked to be
sent to Golden in order that they
might learn trades. They we're Will
ing to bear the stigma of having been
inmates of a reform school in order
to have the compromising privilege
of learning a trade by which they
might support themselves.
