At this time the training school e
accepted as a wise project Just as #
Is regarded by many Of the most mo y!
successful white business men North Eth
and South Jas the best school for
boys Of 1.-THE white race who propose
Is depend on their own efforts, and,
the technical school is making faster
growth than the other kind. It fs
lsfenffcaTt that on the plantation Of
John g. Calhoun. one Of the most radi-
cal Of all South carollns's radical
prominent men, an excellent teehnli
cal school aoarisheg, at which nearly
a thousand young men are learning
how to do things, and learning in
d very thorough manner.
The technical school has made its
place nov, SO that It is no longer
questioned by any one: The mill
ions that Andrew Carnegie has given
for vast technical and training
school in Ptttsburg would have no
doubt Of the rating Of the training
school by one Of the men most compe-
Etent to JUICE. If all other testimony
were lacking. So the eoloTed man
gladly accepts the technical school
and by. It's help he is broadening his
grasp on material things, AS far as.
| is goes, the training schoolsis Of ines
ltimable value. The weak spot is its
linability to leaven the yastlump q in.

cal schools are needed by the dozen
where but one exists. They are need
ed all over the South, especially be;
cause at thepresent time the factories
are not so numerous as at the North,
aud as result the opportunities for
training tile mind AMI the hand are
not SO many. This win be- different.
before long, for the mills are multiply
lnt, at great rate, Perhaps this In
crease Of mill and shop with the re-
strictlons as to the hours Of employ
Ement, and the Introduction of piece
work, may serve the young colorei
folks as a discipline and training
school. Ifso the prospects are bright
er for them, and at the same time for
the white folks, for it is q self-evident
, fact that what affects one race must
afect tho other. The Southern white
man would be compelled to wish for
prosperity and progress for the black
Imam If forno other reason taan that
tho white man might not have the
burden Of an unthfiftly class in the
community. But there is more than
that to the feeling Of the Southern
white folks. There is . genuine In;
lterest in the condition Of tneir col
ored nelghbos. which Is shown in the
efforts that all Of the Southern States
are making to broaden the horizon for
the negro In every. direction except
the social one. Z.
