No appointment could have been
made that would have met with such
unanimous appreciation. Professor
Bruce is an honor to the public schools
and he was appointed strictly on his
merit and the endorsements of six
teen professors of Harvard College.
The Bee IS proud OF the appointment
because the Editor knew Professor
Bruce while a baby in MS mothers
arms. Then again he obtained part
OF his education in the public schools
OF his native home, this city. He
entered Exeter Grammar School,
whtre he thoroughly prepared him
.elf for Harvard. He won every
prize in oratory which demonstrated
his fitness and ability. His father
died while at school and after his
burial young Bruce returned TO Har-
ward and completed his education.
His good mother worked as any am
bilious woman would do to keep her
only child in school. The professors
of Harvard saw something in the
young man and when an opportunity
presented itself they recommended
him to DR.. William Z. Chancellor,
who today commands the respect and
admiration of the people in this city.
The Bee from the very beginning,
has sustained the Board of Education
because it was right.
Professor Bruce will make equally
as good a record as superintendent
of the schools as he made at Har-
ward College. and as supervising
principal. The teachers will have no
trouble in conferring with him. He
invites their cooperation and support.
Professor Bruce has neither friends
to reward nor foes to punish. His
ambition will be to be loyal to his
superior officers and to promote the
best interest of the colored schools
over which he has jurisdiction. In
this connection The Bee is pleased
to know the Endorsement from Har-
ward professors was so unanimous as
we'll as Endorsements from several
other leading educators in the United
States.

The International Sunday School As
sociation of America realized that the
hope Of the race lay in the saving OF the
young, and they have sought for several
years to secure a closer organization
and cooperation of the different denom-
nations in the United States to work
together for the purpose of discussing
new methods and plans, equipments and
general Improvements along Sunday
school lines. | am glad to say that
this has largely been successful and
could cite you instance after instance
where the people have been directly ben
efitted and helped, due to this assocla-
ton. There has beena dissatisfaction
with old methods and old ways, and a
longing after new and better things.
The leaders have had to get a move
on them," and in many instances have
gone to school. DenominatiOnal lines,
which have been a great drawback here
tcfore to the salvation of the people,
are largely disappearing under the be-
nign influence Of this association. A
better understanding between the races
has been brought about, and | believe
if this association continues its work
amongst the colored people in the South
that it will not be long before all fric-
ton will entirely disappear. Several
Sunday schools have sprung up, Baracca
and Philathea classes have been organ
| lied, county conventions and Sunday
school institutes have been held, adn
improvement along general lines Of man
agement and equipment have been made
To encourage self-help the Interna-
tional Association agreed to pay hall OF

retary (the salary being fixed at 500
per year, and $500 for expenses) provid-

cepting the proposition, would pay the

RACIAL HARMONY.
IN the Richmond Planet.

From the Richmond Planet
Yesterday, while the great Confeder-
ate parade was marching up Franklin
Street there came marching along Broad
street a large company of colored boys
in uniform carrying wooden guns and
headed by a hand. While the white peo-
pie and Confederate soldiers were going
to unveil the monument to General
Stuart the Negroes were returning from
the National Cemetery, where they had
been to participate with the local Fed
eral veterans in the decoration of the
graves of the Federal dead. 1t hap
pened also that a group of Confederates
some of them from Arkansas and
Texas-had wandered away TO see the
battlehelds of Seven Pines, on which
they had fought.
On their return they fell in with the
Federal veterans and by invitation join
ed them and went to the National Gem
etery, where they were most cordially
welcomed and participated in the cere-
monies. The Negro boys marched and
drilled exceptionally well, and the white
people along the route, including many
Confederate veterans, who had strayed
from the procession, applauded them
heartily.
At the same time, while the white
procession was moving on Franklin
street, many Negroes were in the crowd
along the sidewalk, and they were the
most enthusiastic in applauding notable
individuals and organizations as they
passed.
The little group Of incidents is inter
| esting as illustrating the absolute good
will that exists here in Richmond anC
in Virginia.
We are great people. We are grea
because all Of us are governed by gooc
feeling, kindly impulses and common
sense, which qualities constitute great
: ness.

A DIFFERENT EDUCATION
PROPOSED.

There is a growing belief among
the thinking people OF America that
many mistakes have been made in the
training given to the Negro.
In the beginning the Negro was
brought to America for the purpose
of religious training, and if this orig
inal idea had been carried out, what
a different story would have been
told! What blots that might have
been omitted from the history of the
past! The religious idea was dis
placed by the commercial, and slav-
cry for gain in all its worst forms
was practiced. There are many VINO
believe that the country must get
back to this original idea, and that
religious education must be the basic
principle. Environment has nothing
to do with the individual, unless
there is desire and a change upon
the part of the individual himself.
We can readily see that an education
that does not change the man amounts
to little in the permanent elevation
of the race.
Train a brute nature industrially
OF in the higher intellectual walks
of life, and not change the inner ma
ture, very little is accomplished, so
far as growth upward is concerned.
The charge IS made, and unfortu-
nately with some truth, that the re-
Hgious idea is not emphasized in our
secular schools. That there is not
a single school in America training
colored young men to do practical
Y. NJ. c. A. work or especially along
lines of work suitable for all foreign
fields as missionaries, or even as ex-
pert Sunday school workers.
Oh. Shepard, in his address be-
fore the Worlds Sunday School Con
vention, at Rome, called attention &c
the fact that the elementary education
of the children began in the Sunday
schools, and stated that unless thi,
fact was more emphasized in thi,
country, failure would result in the
long run.
We understand that there is +;
movement backed by money TO es
tabliSh a university modelled on thi'
idea, and will at the same time EN-
brace many of the good features o.
other schools. We know little about
the plan. We oppose no education
that will bring in one ray of light
and We hope that hese ideas will be
come realities. 1t will be a great
thing. And while we do not want
want to see everybody better, and VT
want TO see everybody bettr, and we
believe that his institution will be
far-reaching in its efforts TO make
the people better.
The movement and the leader:
have our WaTmeSt support.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON

There has been a great deal of
criticism against the appointment of
Prof. Booker T. Washington as one
of the trustees of Howard Univer-
sity. Professor Washington has come
TO the platform of higher education
and upon that platform he now
stands. He believes in the theory of
Rev. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield the
president of Howard University.
These two distinguished men believe
in higher education, and Howard
University will be one of the great
est institutions in the world one of
these days.
DR.. Washington will be a great
factor on the trustee board of How
ard University. The things that DR..
Washington used to believe he now
disbelieveS. He believes in higher ed
ucation now as well as industrial ed
ucation. The Bee believes in DR..
Thirkield and in Howard Univer-
sity. 1t believes that he is the right
man in the right lpace, and it is the
duty of everybody who believes il
the institution to give it support and
announcement.

The editor of The Guide is in receipt
of a "feeler" sent out in the interest
of Vice President Fairbanks,who is anX-

The gentleman in question is an ex-
ceptionally fine man, but when we take
into consideration the bold and uncom-
promising stand Of Senator Foraker in
behalf OF the Negro race, every other
fellow in our great party sinks into in
significance, so far as The Guide is con-
Cerned.

NOT PREJUDICED.

The Bee, in justice to those who
heard the cases of the employment
agencies, is too glad to state that no
prejudice was manifested against the
colored agencies on account of their
color. Every case was heard on its
merits, and if the contrary is stated
it is an injustice to the District Com
missioners who heard the cases. The
Commissioners must adopt strict and
stringent rules. They must protect
the interests of the people. Many
of these agencies get careless and dc
Tot care whether they satisfy the peo-
pie or not. The Bee CommendS the
course of the Commissioners because
It IS lust and proper.
