ORGANIZED FOR THE BENEFIT OF
NEGRO MECHANICS.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 20.-The
Armstrong Association in Philadelphia
is an organization which has for its
object the aiding of colored mechanics
to secure work in the city and at the
same time encourage them to save
money and build up a sound business
of some kind.
This movement was started because
out of the $4,000 colored population
in Philadelphia, there are only a few
skilled mechanics, relatively speak
ing; the great majority of laborers
are unskilled. The promoters OF the
association reasoned wisely that such
an unsatisfactory condition presented
a very uusound basis upon which
there is little hope of building a real
and permanent economic superstruc-
ture. Hence this organization.
The members pay small fee for
the PRIVILEGES and ADVANTAGES the So
ciety guarantees. AS an evidence of
the benefit the Armstrong Association
is to its members, according to its sec
ond annual report, the amount of
work obtained from new customers by
the men through this agency. from
November Is, 1909, to October 10 1910,
was: Number of jobs, 402, aggregat-
ing $20,S1525.
A movement is on foot to form a
similar association for the women in
the city

but skillfully evaded an interview by

what their ideals are, l could tell
with reasonable accuracy what they

Mr. Bryan then set about outlin-

Col. w. ]. Bryans visit to Fisk Uni
Versity, the largest OF Nashv.ile's
great institutions for the education

morning was one of the notable events
OF his stay in the city, and his address
delivered before the students of that
institution, couched In his character
istic terse, nervous, homely words.
was one of the strongest heard from
the lips of the distinguished Nebras-
kan on this or any previous visit to
Nashville. He had an audience that
was appreciative and sympathetic,
and 1t is doubtful, if, in his whole ca
reer as a public man, he has delivered
a more effective address or one more
potent of good results. Col. Bryan
himself was the audience-and
thoroughly delighted audience, too
while the Fisk singers rendered sew
eral characteristic Negro songs.
Leaving Vanderbilt University
shortly after $3.50 o'clock, the Bryan
party proceeded down Broadway to
Seventeenth Avenue and on that av-
enue to Fisk University President
George A. Gates, in cap and gown,
stood on the front steps of the chapel
building and greeted Col Bryan and
the members of his party as they
a1ighted from their cars and conduct
ed them to the platform of the chapel.
The large chapel was filled with stu
dents of the institution and prominent
Negroes of the city Immediately after
the members of the party were seated
Prof. John w. Work, leader of the eel
ebrated Fisk singers, stepped in the
front of the platform and, with his
chorus out in the body of the chapel
sang Il Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray"
Col. Bryan was charmed with the
peculiarly beautiful music and, at his
request the chorus sang Swing Low
Sweet Chariot
President Gates introduced Col
Bryan in a few words. He said:
THE supreme desire of all right
minded folks is that right ideas and
high ideals shall prevail. For any
teacher, preacher, leader to help
toward that ei.G is supreme honor. To
see those principles for which one has
wrought by pen and voice, coming into
recognition, endorsement and embodi-
ment into laws" must be far purer sat
isfaction for the high-minded man than
formal temporary triumphs of parties
or personalities. We are honored in
having Mr. Bryan with u.s."
COL Bryan began by expressing his
pleasure at coming to the institution
and of meeting again it's head, a man
whom he had known in other fields of
labor And" he continued, Il appre-
ciate hearing you. 1t is a great graft
iication to one who loves music to
hear THAT peculiar music that has
given to your people a place in the
world of music. | am obliged to you
for giving me this illustration of the
genius you have for making melody"
Continuing, Col Bryan said that he
is always anxious to say something
that those who listen may think worth
remembering The idea, he declared,
is the most important thing in a life.
One never knows, he said where he is
going to get an idea or what it is
going to do with him An idea may
revolutionize the world,

Service Measure of succtss.

Service said Col. Bryan, is the
measure of success. A person is
great in proportion as he serves. The
hope for the future, he said is that
Christ's conception of labor shall be
the conception that shall rule the
world. He said that too often the
right conception is not got early
enough. AS we approach the end
of life he SAID, "the things that
seemed so Large to us in the begin
ming dwindle into insigniicance, and
those things that we did not notice at
all become as the moutain side The
ambitions that bothered us and the
greed that hampered us fall away
and, when the time comes to say fare
we'll, We do not contemplate the mon
ey left but the service done
''And we are not required TO dc
great things, but just the simple duty
that Lies before us. You are here al
this institution contracting a debt
that you must pay, and you will not
pay it even in part unless you put
your shoulders, broadened by the
raining you have received here, un
der heavier loads; unless you reach
down to the humblest of your people
and try to lift them up to enjoy as
much of life as possible"

the chorus sang, walk Together

From Fisk University, leaving al

lature.

He declared that he believes in uni
yersal education, the open school
door in front of every child, and de
cared that this is the growing con-
ception of education. He then dis
cussed the advance along educational
lines recently made in Japan, China,
India and Turkey.
But, he declared, 1t is not sufficient
that people should have education.
He thinks tnat education is not adj
vantageous or even desirable unless
it brings true conception of life. II
a man is going to do harm rather
than good after he is educated, il is
not right that state on am institu-
ton should equip him with weapons
to be turned against society.
The right conception of education,
he declared, is not that it raises a
man or woman above work, but that
it makes the man or woman capable
of doing larger work makes him
ashamed not to give back to society
by his work the reward Of what has
been given him.
What inquired Col Bryan, (" is
to be the result of general educa-
ton unless it brings an appreciation
of the honorable character of serv-
ice?" He quoted from Socrates that
honor is to be had only at the end of
great labor and then said that Christ
expressed the same thought with
more force when he said, Let him
that would be chiefest among you be
the servant of all +"
