A musical education is as necessary
in these progressive days as common
school education, and the piano is
within the reach Of everyone who de-
sires one. What excuse can you offer
your children when they grow up
without the same advantages as other
people in the same walk of life? None.
OF course you intend to b1y one some
day. always some day." but you
never just get to the point when you
invest. Meanwhile. the days and
years are rolling by and eventually it
will be too late to purchase. because
there will be none to play. Then you
will look back over the years that
have passed and wonder why you did
not purchase a piano and you will
say to yourself. If had bought one

just as much cash as have now and

refining influences, music" The op-
porunity is knocking at your door

eaeksIidina Of the Negro.

There has been since that time upon
the part of the negroes a drawing
away from the white mans standards
and association and a. consequent re.
currence to their own racial traits
Although under slavery they had
no teachers to teach them letters,
they had the best of teachers to teach
them conduct. These teachers were
white men and women intimately in
terested in their physical and moral
welfare. Now they have teachers who
are black men. More and more every
year the negro's life-moral, intellect.
ual. and industrial-is isolated from
the white mans life, and therefore
from his Influence. There was a kind
lier and more confidential relation
ship between the races when my fd.-
Their was a boy than when | was, a
kindlier and more confidential rela-
tionship when l was a boy than be-
tween my children and the present
generation of negroes. Just in pro
portion as the white man has with
drawn from the negro and the negro
has withdrawn from the white man,
the negro has reverted to the black
mans racial traits and tender cies,
has shed the veneering which has
been placed upon him, has become
more and more himself and less and
less the reflection of his white neigh
Dor This view is reinforced by the
fact that nearly all the unspaakable
negro crimes are committed by negro
Migrants and tramps who are brought
into no sort of relationship with the
white mans life.-John Sharp Will
