THE ASSOCIATION.

There were over eight thousand
visiting teachers and almost as
many friends present at the audi
torium when Governor Shafroth de-
livered a most cordial welcome to
the forty-seventh anual meeting of
the National Education Associa-
tion. Every state and territory was
represented. The address was full
of the cordial, hospitality Colorado
always extends to her distinguished
visitors. Superintendent Marks of
the Louisville, KY, school, re-
sponded. His remarks clearly eX-
pressed the joy and pleasure of the
teachers to be again on the "crest
of the Rockies. President Harvey
in his address to the association
dealt particularly with Industrial
Education in the public school. His
idea seemed to be the preparation
of the youths for practical affairs
of life through industrial training
along all lines. The necessity of
making the association interna-
tional in character was one of the
leading questions. 1t was passing
strange that with the great number
of Negro schools and teachers
throughout the country that no
place was given on the program to
colored educator. With such
splendid men as Dubois, Bowen
Miller and host Of others, ii
would seem that the race should
have found a place somewhere on
the program. Why not begin now
to secure a representative for the
next meeting.

charge of DR.. Clark, of Cincinnati.
DR.. Clark came here to attend the
funeral of the poet, and suggested
a memorial. On his shoulders
largely rested the collection of
funds. Today it proved his pleas
ure TO formally dedicate the mon
ument and he delivered a brief
but appropriate address, touching
on the life of the sweet singer,
DIR. Davis stated that Dunb bar
was another emacipator of his race;
that he had set it free from the
imputatiop that the crudities and
vul lgarities of the minstrel stage
are the best products of which it
is capable, and that he had reflect
ed in his verse the warm hopeful
ness and quaint philosophy of
cabin, field and hearthside.
A pathetic feature of the dedi-
cation was the presentation of a
deed to the lot in Woodlawn ceme-
terry to the feeble old mother of the
tamented author. Recently the
grave of Dunbar was removed from
an isolated location in the ceme-
terry to a spot on the brow of the
hill overlooking the city. A will
low tree was also planted on the
plot with considerable ceremony.
Judge Charles W. Dustin was
chairman of the committee having
the memorial dedication in charge.

Brownsville, Texas, June 2S.-
1t was announced here today that
the federal authorities will send
two companies of white troops to

THE INDIANS.


The work of the United States
among the Indians was the opening
meeting of the week. Teachers from
all the Indian Schools were present
together with many of their pupils.
They brought with them splendid
displays of educational work along
all lines among the wards OF the
nation. The rendition of Hiawatha
was a highly entertaining bit OF
work and revealed new and novel
feature in the Indian awakening.
At Unity Church where the sessions
of the Indian Teachers was held a
bevy of handsome young girls from
Carlisle School gave practical
demonstration of what they are
learning in the way of domestic sci
ence by preparing and serving a de
licious luncheon. They had excel
lent exhibits in bead work, pottery
drawings, and many other usefu
arts The work among the Indians
in the past seems to have been the
determination of certain vicious
elements. and now the government

UNWILLING OF PAUL

MONUMEN7 I

Dayton, Ohio, June 26.-At
Woodland cemetery this afternoon
a memorial to the late Paul Lau-
renee Dunbar, the Negro poet,
whose fame extended to many
climes, was unveiled in the pres
ence of a distinguished assem-
bage.
The memorial is a large Miami
Valley bowlder, bearing a bronze
tablet with the mere inscription,
Paul Laurence Dunbar" and a
verse from his death song.
A number of prominent men
participated in the simple cere-
monies and addresses were made
by DIR. Davis w. Clark, of Cincin-
natl, who has taken deep interest
in the Dunbar project for several
years, as president of the National
Dunbar Memorial Association; land

force University. Davis W.
Clark, of Cincinnati, who has
been visitor in the city since the
Wright brothers celebration, re-
mained to witness the ceremonies,
which were started by Rev. DIR. G.
A. Funkhouser, of Banebrook Uui-
versity, who delivered the invoca-
ton. The Philharmonic Society
next rendered prayer written by
the poet and gave several addition
al numbers later.
P-esidend Scarborough spoke in
part as follows:
"Today we are gathered for an
unusual purpose. 1t is not that a
memorial to a great citizen is an
extraordinary occurance, but it is
remarkable that such a gather
ing should be in memory of a nan
not only of humble birth, but one
of the darker race-one with the
sable skin, the badge of the servi-
tude that has been the Negroes lot
for SO many years.
"But today at this hour race
and color are ignored, and this
beautiful city, the Gem of Ohio, is
proud to honor it's famous son
who has helped to give it fame-to
honor him because of his worth
his genius and his work.
THE old adage that prophet
is not without honor save in his
own country is another instance
of the falsity of SO many popular
sayings, for in this city where he
was reared, he is most highly re-
spected, and in this memorial to.

en- would vote There black
woman in Florida whose kinky hair
covers more grey matter than Miss
Gibbs fluffy golden locks. But,
it remained for President Aber-
combie of the Alabama University
to talk in a sane manner on the ed
ucation of the Negro. Speaking on
the need of national aid in the edu-
cation of the Negro, he said:
AS a consequence of man s fail
ure, in past ages, to appreciate full
ly the rights of his fellowman, we
are confronted today with the race
problem, a menace to government,
an obstacle to advancement a hin
drance to learning, and the stand
ing adversary of sectional reconcil-
liation. From the porticoes of
high heaven angels of peace and
love watch with fear and trem-
bling the process of the solution of
this most perplexing problem.
IF the continued inaction of the
national government renders it ne
cessary for one or both of the races
there to receive meager educational
advantages, it is best for all con
cerned that, for a season, the advan-
tage should go to the dominant
race. Why? Because the best way
to secure universal education for
the Negro is to give universal at
tention to the white man. The more
you educate people in the right
way, the more willing and eager
they become to give education to
others. Educate the white man
properly, and the white man will
educate the Negro. Of course, it
is desirable and necessary, where
possible, that the education of the
races should proceed under condi-
tions equally advantageous. "

good among our people, and that
there will be more sympathy be-
tween the teacher and parents.

THE COLORED MAN AND THE
N. E. A.


1t seemed a mater to be regretted
that the number of colored teach
ers attending the association was
small, and another regret was the
manifest indifference of our local
people in visiting the sessions
Fourteen years ago when the asso-
citation convened in Denver, our
people made a special effort to re
ceive and entertain the visiting
teachers. They appeared then as
part of the citizenship of Den
yer determined to aid in the wei
coming of delegates. This year
nothing, except possibly in isolat-
ed individual cases, was done. Nat
urally the great mass of our people
looked to the Undergraduate Associ-
alton to take the lead in this mat
ter. Composed as it is of the many
graduates residing in Denver, it
was presumed that they would de
light in doing honor to our visitors.
But, then, why worry over such.
The N E. A. brings together each
year those who are busy all the
time with the perplexing problem
of the boy and the girl-the de
veloping of closer relations between
the school, the home and the
church. The work of this body
should be thoroughly studied and
clearly understood by our people

Agriculture Is Increasing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-In spite of
the declar alton that the production of
toodstuffs is not keeping pace with
the growth of population, the depart.
ment of agriculture has issued a state:
ment showing that the United States
is more than holding its own in the
task of feeding it's people. The bu.
reau of statistics is authority for the
declar alton that during the fiscal year
the imports of farm products into the
United States were valued at S540..
OOO, 900, which was s14, 900, 900 less
than in 1906, and ss7. 200. 900 less than
in 1907.
That the American farmer is awak.
ening to the necessity for closer and
more extensive cultivation of his land
is evidenced by the fact during seven
years prior to 1900 more than one-half
of the total imports into the country
consisted of farm products. In the
nine years since 1900 much less than
one.half of the imports have been
products of the farm.
