HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT ON
NEGRO EDUCATION.

The following extracts are from the
ADDRESS delivered by Hon. William H.
Taft, then Secretary Of War, on the
occasion of the laying of the corner
stone of the Carnegie Library OF Fisk
University, May 22, 1903.
The system of education of the COL
orcd race has been the subject of a
great deal of criticism, and at times
II have myself had good deal of
doubt as to the wisdom of the estab-
lishment of such an institution as this,
conterrlng the highest academic educa-
ton and professional education upon
the colored race, because had an i'm
preston that the best way to begin
with the race, as it certainly is, is 70
begin at the bottom and have them ed
ucated industrially and in primary edu-
cation without attempting at once ed.
ucation at the top. But have read
further, and have been convinced of
my error in that regard and
the truth is that, with respect to q: race
like. this you, cannot shave a system OF
education that is not in the form Of
pyramid, with 1.-The best education,
the highest education at the top, and
broad primary and industrial educa-
tion to form the foundation Of thai.

1t is absolutely necessary that your
race should have leaders; it is abso-
lutely necessary that. your race should
have men of advanced education, Of
advanced education professionally.
Therefore, say that this institution
which offers to the Negro race the op-
portunity to furnish the leaders of the
race, the teachers, the professors, the
ministers, the doctors, and finally with
less importance, am bound to say
the lawyers, ought to be recognized by
every one in the community, whether

MISSION APPEAL.
Louisville, Kentucky.
Secretary JOrdan'S Notes.

SCClCtdlS A>otSo.
For number of years we have been
apps aling to our churches in behalf OF
our missionaries over the sea, and
have been asking for a special dona-
ton, if only fifty cents, from the watch
meeting services.
Surely any Baptist church would be
glad to begin the new year Of 1909
with a little offering, for the spread
OF the gospel Of the Christ, about whom
htey have talked on Christmas day.
The Foreign Mission Board feels
very grateful to the B. Y. P. u. State
convention of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Sam
uel Coleman, president, for Sis This
money will 60 for thu windows of our
Capetown Chapel. An effort will be
made to have Pennsylvania Baptist
young people remembered in Africa for
many years to come, in a special pre-
pared memorial window. We are in
oecd thankful to Brothr Coleman and
his co-workcrs for this contribution.
AT no time in thu history of the
world has there been such an uprising
on the part of the men in the various
Christian churches, for world wide
missions. Why should strong, Chris
tan men lag and depend upon women
pushing the cause of foreign missions?
If we are to lead in everything else,
why not lead in Fastening the coming
of the kingdom of Christ upon tho
earth?
AS write these notes to the broth
erhood Of our great Baptist Zion, there
lies before me letter from DR.. Brown
of South America, asking for S375, an
appeal from Brother Murff, Capetown,
South Africa, for at least $500, one
from Brother Solani, Cape Colony,
South Africa, for 500; Brother l..
Tom Evans in Hayt, for $500, Brother
Eer, South America, for 500; also
from Brothers Smith and Phillips in
Barbados, asking for immediate help
and from DR.. Bouey, on the West
Coast, setting forth his great needs.
Ny heart goes out for them, and yet,
in sadness, their appeals must be
turned down for the lack of funds,
If the eighteen thousand Negro Bap
fist churches would act as they sing
and pray, by giving an offering after
the clock strikes twelve on the last
night of 1908, and send it to us, every
one of these wants COLD be met.
Brother pastors and deacons, what will
your church do to answer these ap-
rcals: | beg of you as you value
your own souls, do something to help
relieve our missionaries.
Wishing for each and all a Merry
Christmas and a most glorious Happy
New Year, believe me,
Yours in His name,
l.. C. Jordan.
