The building Of institutions of learn
ing for the education of young colored
men and women by members of their
own race has been one of the most en-
couraging features of the progress of
the Negro race In the United States
since the close Of the war of the re-
bellion. True it is that they have been
successful in business, agricultural
pursuits, politics to some extent and
along some special lines, but the foun-
dation upon which his present status
rests, the encouragement and inspira-
ton which have given him his present
prestige and upon which his future
hopes and aspirations must depend, is
in the education of the masses Of his
people.
That the Negro has contributed large
ly toward his own education in the
founding and fostering Of schools and
colleges is fact well known to the
white people of America. The slogan a
few decades ago was, go west, young
man" 1t doubtless meant for greater
commercial development particularly,
but with the great Industrial awaken
ing aroused by this prophetic advice
came the necessity for better educa-
tional facilities among all classes of
people.
A young man who needed the gath
ering cry, noted the signs Of the times
and caught the tide at its flood was
E. W. B. Curry, who at the age Of sew
enteen years founded what Is now
known as the Curry Normal and In
dustrial institute, which is located at
Urbana, o. This school had its hum

place Of his birth. and took a special
course in Michael college and also at
Ohio Wesleyan university. While at
the university he taught school al
night He studied law In the firm OF
Me--riot. & Wickham for two years
and attributes much Of the success
which has come to him to the training
and advice which he received from
Lawyer Marriott and Judge Wickhnm.
Few men have had harder struggle

as little help and with as little noise

the heart, head and hand-and to that
end he has surrounded himself with
teachers who possess firm Christian
character, well prepared by training
and experience, whose lives express a
burning desire to make something real
out Of each student who comes to
the institution for development. There
are twelve teachers employed by the
school. The business end of the af-
fairs is looked after by board of
trustees composed Of representative
men Of experience, who have the best
interest Of the institute at heart The
board recently purchased seventy-fve
acres Of splendid farm land four miles
south of Urbana. on the Springfield
pike, at cost Of 500 per acre. Money
is now being raised to finish payment
for the farm and to erect suitable
school buildings. which are needed for
