sive spirit in adapting the admin
istration of this institution to the
requirements of medical educa-
ton.
Meharry is the creation of one
man. DR.. George w. Hubbard,
who. sent to the south at the close
of war on the errand of mercy,
has for half-century devoted
himself singly to the elevation of
the Negro. The slender resources
at his command have been careful
" husbanded; his pupils have IN
their turn remembered their obll-
cations to him and to their school.
The income of the institution has
been utilized to build it up. The
school laboratories are highly cred
liable to the energy and intelli-
gence of DR.. Hubbard and his as
sistants. The urgent need is for
improved clinical facilities
hospital building and a web
equipped dispensary. Efforts now
making to acquire them deserve
liberal support.
1.-The upbuilding of Howard
and Meharry will profit the ma
ton much more than the made
uuate maintenance of larger
number of schools. They are, OF
course, unequal to the need and
the opportunity, but nothing will
be gained by way of satisfying the
need or of rising to the opportu-
nifty through the survival of feeble,
i'll equipped institutions, quite re-
gardless of the spirit which AMI
mates the promoters. The subven-
tions of religious and philanthro-
pic societies and of individuals
can be made effective only if con
centrated. They must become i'm
mensely greater before they can
be safely dispersed. Advocate.

The Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching,
which in The five years OF It's eX-
scnce has already exerted pow
serful influence for good upon lnstl-
tutions for higher education
throughout the country, has Just
issued its bulletin number 4 show
inc the result of very exhaustive
inquiry into the subject OF " Medl-
cal Education in the United States
and Canada. ;"
In the chapter devoted to the
medical education of the Negro,
the bulletin reads:
1.-The medical care of the Negro
race will never be left wholly to
the care of Negro physicians
Nevertheless. if the Negro can be
brought to feel a sharp RESPONSE
bility for the physical integrity OF
his people, the outlook for their
menta, and moral Improvement
will be distinctly frightened. The
practice of the Negro doctor Will
be limited to his own race, which
in its run will be cared for better
bv good Negro physicians than
by poor white ones. But the phy-
steal well being of the Negro is not
only of moment to the Negro HIM
self Ten million of them live IN
close contact with sixty million
whites. Not only does the Negro
himself suffer from hookworm ana
tuberculosis; he communicates
them TO his white neighbors, pre-
ciselv as the ignorant and unfor-
tunate white contaminates HIM.
Self-protection not less than hui
manity offers weighty counsel IN
this matter; self-interest seconds
philanthropy. The Negro must be
educated not only for his sake but
for ours. He is, as far as human
eve can see, permanent factor IN
the nation. He has his rights ana
due and value as an Individual
but he has. besides, the tremen-
dous Importance that belongs to a
potential source of Infection anu
contagion. ="
ssThe pioneer work in educating
tba race to know and to practice
fundamental hygienic prlnciples
must bedone largely by the Negro
doctor and the Negro nurse. IL Is
important that they both be sens
iblv and effectively trained at the
level at which their services are
now important. The Negro Is per-
hans more easily taken IN than
the white; and as his means OF ex-
Treating himself from a piuhoel
are limited it is all the more cruel

to abuse his ignorance through any
sort of pretense. A well taught
Negro sanitarium will be immense
ly useful; an essentially unframed
Negro wearing an NJ. D., degree is
dangerous. "
"Make-believe in the matter of
Negro medical schools is therefore
intolerable. Even good intention
helps but little to change their as
pect. The Negro needs good
schools rather than many schools,
schools to which the more prom
ising of the race can be sent to re-
ceive a substantial education In
which hygiene rather than sur
gerry, for example, is strongly ac-
centuated. If at the same time
these men can be imbued with the
missionary spirit so that they will
look upon the diploma as com
mission to serve their people hum
bly, and devotedly, they may play
an important part in the SANTA
ton and civilization of the whole
nation. Their duty calls them
away from large cities to the vii

The Moral Indian.

We are so accustomed to think of
the Iaw-abiding Indians as abjectly
dependent upon the bounty of Uncle
Sam, and as deprived of their initia-
tive by a paternalistic government,
that it is somewhat surprising to be
told of the earnest assistance they
have lately given to the endeavor of
the officials resident upon Indian res
ervations to extirpate gambling and
reduce the consumption of ardent spir-
its-the besetting sins of the red man
particularly when he is not given
enough to do
It has been reported to the assist
ant Indian commissioner that 700 Ma
wajo Indians recently brought to the
white father" their superintendent, a
great collection of gambling parapher-
MALTA, of all sorts, of their own Volt

terials for the engrossing pastime.
These have been sent to Washington
and placed on exhibition with the enor-
nous collection of relics and trophies
of a fast perishing race at the muse
1m main tained by the Indian bureau.
1t is said that the reduction in the
number of Warlike outbreaks upon the
reservations of late is to be aserfbed
directly to the restrictions placed upon
the sale of the liquor, and the move

NOT ON THE 5000.

The news that DIR. Cook was not on
the steamer Soho. leaving the Ber-
r1udas for Halifax, calls to mind the
fact that for three long months he
has not been in one spot at which the
newspaper sleuths have located him
and we have no tangible evidence that
he is on the earth, although no notice
of his demise or funeral has been re-
ceived This again marks DR.. Cook
as a man of more than ordinary cali
bre It really takes genius TO lose
himself In this world of ours these
DAYS of telephones, wireless telegraph
and wel1-organized sleuths: and there
are no detectives which excel the
newspaper reporters for their ability

that the Richmond (Va.) Times-Des-
patch feels sure that he must have
thrswn a 6o-foot line into the air and
cIunb 1t and then drawn the rope
up after him. In other words, he has
