the Negro. But all such attempts are
futile insofar as having a bearing
on the Negro to check him in his eff
forts to procure a good education.
This particular Negro is quoted as
having said in answer to a question
as to what could he attribute his men
tai condition: "Super-education. I'm
a Negro and have no business with a
college education Granting that he
did say he had no business with a col
lege education, who cares? He is the
best judge of that fact, and there it
should end. He may not have had
any need for his, but there are thou
sands upon thousands of others who
have good education and know they
have business with such an accom-
plishment.
1t is a joy unspeakable, it seems.
for some papers to trot out to view in
some conspicuous place in their col
umns anything that has a tendency
to discredit Negro people. But when
any member of the race is engaged in
any laudable work for the betterment
of the people, these same news-dis-
pensers are as mute as lambs-but
lambs thy are not. Last week there
was within the gates of this city a
woman Of not only national but inter-
national reputation, and she was en-
.gaged in the worthy task of pointing
out in her lectures the way to whole
some citizenship. yet not a line. as
we are aware of, could be spared in
the paper that printed Negro edu

Every race has such freaks as the
one spoken of in the news item here
referreds 10. But you never know of
it through the press. This isolated
case is no criterion by which to judge
the Negro people. They will continue
to push ahead in pursuit of high
school, academic, college and univer.

A PLEA FoR TIE YOUNG.

We have recently witnessed two he
roic efforts by the white people of
Nashville for the welfare Of The
young men and women of their race.
Over 100000 has been pledged to
e eft buildings for the Y. NJ {, A.
and the Y. w. c. A. Busy men laid
aside everything and gave their time
and money that the reputation of this
city might be established. 1t meant
sacrifice to many to raise these sub
scriptions, and it shows a spirit of
patriotism and benevolence.
The young men and women of the
Negro race are subjected to every dan
ger that confronts any other people
in the city, and even more. They
have no places to spend their leisure
hours except the church and the lodge
room and neither of these are open
at all times, nor are they institutions
that could be expected to serves com
munity as a Y. M. C. A. building.
The church is a place of worship, and
the lodge room is arplace of bHsiness.
The Young Mems Christian Associa,
lion fills a want that no other agency
an, and the young Negroes Of Nash
vile stand sorely in need of such in
stitutions, 1t would be an everlasting
memorial to this generation if they
would erect two buildings at a cost
of $4,000 to leave as a heritage for
unborn generations. 1t would mean
sacrifce-yes; that is why it should
be done. We do not mean that this
amount be solicited from the white
people, but that it be given from the
earnings of the forty thousand Ne
groes of Nashville. 1t is a duty we
owe our posterity.

During its twenty-five years existence
it has not missed a single issue. 1t

EDUCATION OF THE YOUTH.

In the North. the East, the West
and the South, there is one general
capitalization. The city of Atlanta,
Ca, has had as guests since the 18th
of this month the members of the
Conference for Education in the
South, a body composed Of the lead
ing educators from all sections of the
United States. Their purpose in
meeting was to discuss the education
al needs of the country in general
and the South in particular, When
the educational needs of the South are
referred to the next thought to come
into the minds of a majority of the
people is that the Negroes, as a class.
are under. consideration. But that idea
can be quickly removed by a careful
study of the situation. In the state
OF Georgia. in the capital of which
the national conference convened We'd
nesday, the authorities are making eff.
forts to establish an industrial acade-
my in every county. In the fair COM
monwealth of Tennessee the lower
house of the General Assembly recent
~ decided that the Negro youth of
tbis state only needs the paltry sum
- Tndugtr;oJ 81
Of $4,000 for Norma, '"'" ana
Mechanical College, but that the white.
youth needs the State University. with
every modern equipment that the
most advanced minds can advise, a
million-dollar endowment from the
Peabody fund, supplemented with a
large donation by the state, Davidson
County and the city of Nashville, a,
normal and industrial college in each
of the three grand divisions of the
state, and a system of institutes to
train teachers for work in the hubble
schools-all of this against $4,000
for the Negro youth, who constitute
over one-third Of the population of
the state. Would that create the i'm
preston that the Negro is receiving
much consideration?
If the population of the state is
three whites to one black, as is
claimed, all appropriations and dona-
tions should be divided on a like
basis, and the schools established
should be set apart in a like manner
But despite the fact that the Negroes
have a greater percentage of i~lIitera.
cy they are only to receive one,sev-
enth OF the amount appropriated for
normal schools. They are to get no
part of the Peabody million-dollar
gift, the appropriations made bv the
state, the county and city in which
the Peabody Normal is located. nor
they admitted to the State Uni.
versity. Over $4,000, 900 applied to
education of the white youth:
for the Negroes-a gloomy pic
.ure.
