Uncle Sam Makes Farms For
American Farmers.

will be interested in an article
lately published over the sigma
ture of c. j. Blanchard, Statis-
tician of the United States Re
clamation Service, showing the
vastness of tine Government irri-
cation projects now being built
under the provisions OF the Ma
tional Reclamation Act for the
purpose of making new farms for
the rapidly growing number OF
American farmers.
Mr.. Blanchard in his article
enumerates a long list OF projects
actually under construction, and
another list held in allegiance
awaiting the time when the con-
dition of the reclamation fund
will permit their construction.
He shows that the twenty-five
projects now MISREPRESENTATION,
when fully developed, will add to
the crop-producing area OF the
United States 3,19S,000 acres,
or cultivated area equal to the
total acreage devoted to agri-
cultural crops in Connecticut,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and Florida.
Three OF these twenty-five pro-
jects are practically completed;
six more will be in service this
summer. Work is progressing
on all of them, and their early
completion may be considered
absolutely sure.
Thirteen additional projects
held in allegiance have an even
greater area than those now I'M
der construction, and there are
in the west many more millions
of acres with water available for
irrigation-a great field for fur
Their agricultural development,
comprising one of our most valu-
able resources in view of the rapid
increase in population and the
necessity of continued increase of
agricultural production.
The National Reclamation Act
provides that moneys received
from sales OF public lands in GER
tain Western States and Terri
tories shall be placed in a revolv-
ing fund that is being used to
build irrigation systems in the
State which provide it. The law
wisely provides for the return OF
the money to the National Treas
ury by the lands benefited when
it becomes available for use in
further irrigation construction.
The addition of these millions
of acres to the agricultural lands
of the country is of interest not
alone to the West, but to the en-
tire United States, because of the
Importance of continued agricul-
tural expansion. tits Of interest
to the farmers because it gives to
their sons an opportunity of OBJ
tanning new lands; it is of inter
est to the business men because
it means opportunities for new
business; it is ofinterest to manu-
facturers because it means a new
demand for their products.

yersity diplomas are recognized in every
State and territory of the United States.
The time has now come when our
graduates need the facilities and instruc-
ton offered by postgraduate course
and polyclinic, and the medical faculty IS
ready to respond to their call; hence It
has been decided to inaugurate school
Of post-gradute instruction in May and
June. 1907, and we believe that this new
feature will mark very important ep-
och in the history of the school and at
reducing to a minimum the number OF

avail themselves of the ample facili-
ties of the New Freedmen's Hospital,
which is costing more than half mill
ion dollars. IS national in character and
scope, and is destined to be a center OF
polyclinic education.
Howard University stands for higher
education for all the dark races, with
doors open for all persons who wish TO
enter irrespective of race or color.
The new president, Rev. w. P. Thir-
kield, D..D.. LID, stands for this idea,
and brings to his work a large and ripe
experience. He knows the needs Of the
colored people, and believes in training
them for their environment. His ideas
are lofty. and he intends to place How
ard University in the front rank. Pro-
gress Is his watchword, and the Poly
clinic receives his endorsement
Unihcation IS a necessary factor at
Howard University, and the medical
school Is ever ready to aid him along
all lines of advancement
It seems especially fitting in the year
1907 to inaugurate post graduate
course and polyclinic as an important
feature in medical and dental education
because this IS the fortieth year of the
university, and this year the New Freed
mems Hospital viii be open to the pub
lie.
The School of Medicine has more than
three thousand students who have avail
ed themselves of the opportunities of

POSTGRADUATE COURSE AND
POLYCLINIC.

This history of the Medical Depart
ment of Howard University has shown
that it is alive to the advanced progress
made III medicine, surgery and dentistry.
The fixed and definite policy has been to
make the school the equal of the best
in the country and to prepare graduates
for State board examinations. The
alumni, as a rule, are doing we'll, and re-
fleet credit on their alma mater.
Nothing succeeds like success" and
he school has prospered every time an
advance is made in raising the stand
ard end the curriculum. Day instruction
has been success, and the number of
matriculates has increased. There were
28S registered for the session of 1906
o7-the largest number in the history of
the department-and most of the stu
dents are graduates of high schools or
have an equivalent preliminary educa-
ton. The medical and dental colleges
are in full accord with their respective

A SOLUTION OF THE NEGRO

To His Excellency, the Honorable The

United States:

The feasibility of a voluntary and
moderate emigration by the Negroes of
this country is admitted by the best
thinkers.
Men no longer concern themselves
with the idea of wholesale or forced
retreat of the Negro population. The
legal and physical impossibilities Of such
a scheme render its advocates subject
to the appellation of Missionaries.
But the best minds of both races, be-
coming discouraged over the state Of
affairs existing in this country Gas at
tested by recent legislation) have real
lied that the congested conditions and

stress of the present time may be in
some degree relieved by drawing off

HON. ]. MILTON TURNER

A large and distinguished audience
greeted Hon. J. Milton Turner of St
Louis, Mo, at the Second Baptist
Church Lyceum last Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Alexander G. Richardson presided
and introduced the distinguished speaker
and a complimentary and deserving ad-
dress. Mrs. Height performed at the
piano. Mr.. Turner's address was elo-
quent as well an interesting. He cited
many incidents in his life and the lives
of other representative men, such as
Langston Bruce, Douglass, Garnett, Rea-
son and others. He advised the colored
people TO purchase railroads as a solu-
ton of the "Jim Crow" cars. He was
followed by Mr.. R w. Thompson, who
is in the city on business connected
with the Jamestown Exposition. Mr..
Thompson was president of the lyceum
ceived quite an ovation. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. w Calvin Chase, who
made a very humorous address and
complimented Mr.. Turner for his ad-
dress.
Register J. w. Lyons, Judge E. M.
Hewlett. Rev. L. C. Moore and w. H.
Gordon also spoke. The exercises were
quite lively, as well as interesting. More
interest is now being manifested in the

There will be large expense attend
ant on supplying apparatus and equip
ping the medical dental and pharmaceu-
tic colleges with a postgraduate course
and polyclinic, to which competent col
ored youth will come seeking the best
and highest grade of instruction along
spicial lines. Hence this school of in
struction will have a great future in
the professional education of colored
men and women. Its influence will be
far reaching, and the number of under
graduates attending the school of med
icine will increase just in proportion as
this polytechnic is a success. Parents will
naturally wish their children to study at
a school where ample facilities are af-
fOrded in every branch of medical, den
tai and pharmaceutic instruction. As
Howard University is the best place for
the colored professional man or woman
to specialize after thorough course of
study, it is the place to send the chill
dren to prepare for their life work.
Howard University will then be going
her whole duty-standing for higher ed
ucation along all lines for those who
desire such instruction, and carrying out
what was in the mind of the man whom
We al love and honor-the great found
er of Howard University, Gen. o. O.

NIGHT SCHOOL.
Secretary Shadd contemplates recon-
mending to the faculty that night in
struction be given to those employed
during the day, provided the Associa-
ton of American Medical Colleges will
approve of his suggestion. President
Thirkield and Dean Reyburn consider il
feasible and just TO many bright young
men and women who have passed tht
Civil Service and have positions in the
departments at Washington. Many ot
these are well prepared for professional
studies The matter will be definitely
settled at the meeting which will b<
held in this city May 6, 1907. As Z
large number of persons were fefifsee
admission last October, Secretary Shade
desires the names of all who wish to ma.
triculate this October, so that he may
have data upon which to predicate his
request that Howard University be al.
lowed to add this feature to the currftu-
lum.
With postgraduate course and poly
clinic a fve-years' course for night class
es and a quiz corps to prepare gradu-
ates for State board examinations, low

place for higher education.

More and more the people are

School trained elocution has had
its day and is giving place to the
man who "speaks right on" out Of
a full heart. Bill Bone is present
ed with full confidence that he will
surprise and delight all who hear
him. He is a man Of pleasing per-
sonality, a poet of the heart and of
the home, while to the beauty Of
his happy songs he adds an artists
presentation and a humorist's fan
cy. He says something in every
selection. Like Irving, lie ridicules
the follies of society, but leaves his
victims in good humor /; like Cooke,
he tells men the truth about them
selves, but in a way that wins their
love. His programs are a unique
blending of humor and pathos-
wholesome, ennobling, stimulating
touching the heartstrings of senti-
ment, and filled to the brim with
the spice of life-yariety. Mr..
Bone will not only delight his au-
diences while he is before them, but
will send them home with higher
ideals and nobler aims. For full
evenings, where he is at his best,
or for star numbers on a program,
Mr.. Bone will be found incompar-
able.-At the Presbyterian church
