J Solving the Race Problem.-Outside of
| Sparrows Point, where they are employed by
| hundreds no other community has such a
! colonization of colOred people as Towson.
| There are good, bad and indifferent. Among
| those who reside here is Benjamin Simon
Johnson, a man who stands head and
shoulders above all others of his race. In the
early days following the Civil War, when the
public school system was in crude state and
when the boys and girls of the colored race
were first given an opportunity for an educa-
ton, johnson availed himself of the means
offered and advanced far enough to read and
write and acquire the fundamental principles
of mathematics He possessed with these
requirements push and spirit, and his ambi
tious nature was not content with mere
plodding. With the hatchet, saw, mason's
trowel and plumb-line he has made progress
which any white man with all the opportuni-
ties afforded him might well be proud. john
son has lust completed q 10-years' course of
correspondence school. which includes aIchi-
teciural drawing, building, ornamental draw
ing, stair-buidiDg, masonry, plumbing, venti-
lation electrical wiring, and several other
trades which are embraced in the construction
of the modern dwelling of today. He has just
completed, for his own occupancy, band
some concrete-stucco and frame house IN East
Towson, near Fairmount avenue, which is
monument to his skill The building is valued
