Separate schools for Negroes.

Boston, Feb. 15.-President Eliot, Of
Harvard University. is in favor OF edu-
cationaI segregation Of negroes when
their number justifes il.
If said he. we had "a large negro
element here in Boston. We should main
tain separate schools for the negroes,
feeling # TO be better for them.
IF more than half the students in Har-

perhaps thirty, negro students al Har-
ward, but they are absolutely lost in the
mass OF the 300 whites, and they have
no influence OF any sort for evil on the

Order Withdrawn .

The papers of March sth reported
that the order of President Roosevelt
suspending all proofs on homesteads,
pending an investigation by govern
ment agent had been withdrawn as far
as agricultural lands were concerned
This is good news as it again makes it
possible for homesteaders to submit
their proofs and get their final receipts
and patents at an early date the same
as before. There was practically no
fraud practiced in Beaver county but
the principal reason the President re-
called his order was the failure of Com
gress to appropriate 100000 to pay the
special agents.
