LEWIS APPOINTMENT.

The Bee is constantly In receipt
of inquiries, by mail and other
wise, as to the possible appoint
ment of W. H. Lewis, of Boston,
to be the Assistant Attorney Gen
eral. The Negroes of the United
States, influenced by the reports
in the daily newspapers to the eff
feet that he will not be appoint
ed, are much wrought up. The
Bee confidently believes, until the
President announces otherwise.
that Mr.. Lewis Will be appointed.
We admonish our people to
curb their impetuOsity, to hold
their peace and await word from
the President. Mr.. Lewis-and
all honor to him for it's preserv-
ing Il dignifed silence, although it
must be and is embarrassing to
him to be held, as it were, up to
public gaze as one who came so
near, but not near enough. His
tactful manner and his dignifed
silence offers one more proof that
he is big enough and brainy
enough to fill the position, and
that, too, with credit to the De
partment of Justice. 1t IS our
opinion, though we have no au-
thOritative information, that the
President will, in his own time,
appoint Mr.. Lewis. AS yet our
optimism, in so far as this special
case is concerned, has not been dis
placed by pessimism.

as old as the Government, and
there are people living to-day
since the foundation of the Gov
|ernment who have taken a course
in nothing.
DR.. Woodward thinks that the
public schools should prevent
that which he is paid for.
He is charged with the citv's
health. Why not call on the col
lector of taxes or the assessor of
the District of Columbia for the
number of deaths that occurred
In the city every year; or ask the
Commissioners to instruct these
two officers to have their clerks to
IcOmpile health statistics every
year!
1t would seem to The Bee that
the public schools have enough of
their own business to attend to
instead of attending to the duties
of the health officer. The pupils
III our schools are instructed in
hygiene by the teachers, and they
have been from time immemorial.
But the health Of the CITY
should be looked after by the
health officer of our local Govern
ment. What the people should be
instructed to do is to keep their
bodies clean, their clothes wash
ed and their teeth thoroughly
cleaned.
Oh, the schools

THE REEFS POLICY

The Bee announced last week
that its policy might be changed.
In that it was meant this paper
does not longer intend to make
attempts to smooth over, with a
thin coat Of harmony, conditions
which call for fearless, OutspOken
protests. 1t meant also that this
newspaper proposes to make a
determined fight against those
within and without the race who,
following a selfish plan, are at
tempting to convert the whole race
into an asset for their personal
and selfish selves. We recognize
that radicalism, untempered by
consideration, Is far more retard-
ing than conservatism that is a
near kin to servility. We recOg-
niZe that conservatism that yields
every point where manhood IS of
prime necessity Is quite as much
of an obstacle in the path of pro-
gress as incOnslderate radicalism.
There is a helpful and healthy
and advantageous medium be-
tween the two, and that medium
will be The Bees policy.
1t matters not how high nor
how low IS the man, class or fac
tion whose efforts are out of tune
with justice for the race; against
such this newspaper proposes to
WELD an WncOmprOmlslng fight.
If there is corruption in fraternal
orders, The Bee will point to it,
and more, will name the men
guilty. The editorials of this
newspaper will be made stronger
and more virile, if that be possible.
To those who are waging a ham
pered, though consistent and m-
selfish contest for race uplIft, The
Bee will give cordial and constant
support. And this newspaper has
age behind it. 1t is not of mush-
room growth, but for thirty years
it has been issued without missing
a date. and it is known wherever
a Negro runs and reads. We have
set our high mark, and if cOnserv-
ING the interest of the race, the
whole race, begets influence for
good, the year 1911 will record
the high-water mark of The Bees
beneficent influence in behalf of
and for the race. The Bee is no
mans petty organ.

COLOR CRAZE.

And now there IS a color craze
at the Government Hospital for
the Insane. The Georgetown Uni
versity and the George Washing
ton University medical students
have decided not to attend the
medical lectures given by DR..
White at the Government HOspi-
tai for the Insane if Negroes at
tend.
Is it any more harm for color
ed students to sit in the same hall
with these white students than it
is for them to sit side by side in
a street car! Suppose the 100
white students were on a sinking
ship in midOcean: would they run
away from a floating boat near by
containing cOlOred seamen! Or
would these 100 students rather
sink out of sight!
The cOlOred medical students at
Howard University are gentlemen.
Have these 100 students read the
latest compliment paid the color
ed students and the medical school
of Howard University! These
white students who went to hear
| DR.. Whites lecture on insanity
must be in need of brain cure
themselves, because no sane medl-
cal student would have made al
ass of himself, as the 100 white
linen did when they walked out OF
the lecture room or refuse to at.
ltend with Negro students.
The time will soon come wher
the prejudiced white man Will SEE
his error. There must be some
thing in the Negro that the white
man fears. What Is it! vii
some one answer the question!
The Negro has not always beer
regarded a dangerous animal. H
has been left alone with the whit,
mans wife and daughter while h,
(the white man) has gone to wal
and returned and found then
safe and sound. The good whit,
women in the South don't feal
the Negro. Why do the men feal
him? Please explain.

NO SEPARATE LECTURES.

DIR. William y. White, super
intendent of the Government Hos
pital, has declared that he can
not possibly give two lectures, one
for the white students of George
town and the George Washington
universities, and one for the color
ed students of Howard University.
These white students, it will be re-
called, refused to attend lecture
last week, on mental diseases, be-
cause the cOlOred students of the
medical department of Howard
University had been invited and
did attend. Georgetown and
! George Washington are privately
endowed institutions. The Gov,
ernment Hospital for the Insane
and Howard University are insti
Itutions maintained and controlled
Ibv the Government, and vet thest
students of the two former insti
tutions had the audacity to de
mand that the Government dis
terminate against itself in favor o.
outside institutions. DR.. White il
entitled to the respect and tn
thanks of all Negroes for hi
stand. Especially indebted to hin
are the Negro students of Howard
University, who are hungerins
and thirsting for knowledge. Th'
fair and just decision of DR.
White, who, in effect, pronounce
that science knows no color-tha
the Governments first duty is t.
Iitself-is in striking contrast t.

THE WAY OUTSIDERS LOOK
AT 1T.

To the Editor of The Bee.
1t is with no small degree of regret
that | learn Washington is, to have
vocational school, with a minimum
of academic studies The public
school, whether elementary or high,
located either in the city or country
should have a wide range of interests
and the curriculum should be expan-
ded and enriched so as TO minister to
the natural inclination of those in at
tendance. Because d boy is born and
grows up in an urban center, is that
any just reason why he should not
have an aptitude for farming? Shall
the country youth not have a fair
chance to pursue a commercial
course? Every pupil in a public
school should be given an oppOrtu-
nifty to elect the work for which he
or she is best fitted.
A goodly number of the leading
men of our race oppose industrial
education, as they claim it will es-
tablish social distinctions. The sep
arat,on of agricultural, industrial and
household are schools is a step toward
segregation, and we can not afford to
indorse any philosophy of education
that tends to peaSantlze any portion
of our race. The purpose of schools,
especially those supported by the
public, is not to teach subjects and
arts, but to train boys and girls
Subjects are incidental to so training
boys and girls that they may be able
to live the fullest possible lives. The
only fault with the public high school
IS that It was established with the
idea that every pupils brain, poten-
TALLY, was capable of developing un-
der a universal curriculum AS a re-
suit of this belief every pupil has beer
passed through the same 'eduCatiOna
cider press" and condemned if he die

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.

The Bee recognizes that the sub
ject of vocational schools is a
question of deep concern. Oppos-
ing it as we have, yet we know
it, as most everything that aims
to better the masses, must have
some strong points. In order to
educate the people up to 1t, and
in order to give the opponents
and opposers an equal chance to
advise the public, we suggest that
DR.. Bruce Evans and Prof. Ar
thur Newman, respectively, set
forth, in the columns of The Bee
the advantages of and difference
between. if any, manual training
and vocational schools. If there
is no conflict, and if the vocation
al school serves a purpose the
manual training school does not,
let the public know it. The public
has a right to know.

cutting one another's throats. And
why these sO-called intellectual
men don't organize, The Bee can't
state. Many of them are more
busy attending to business that
does not belong to them than they
are to business that belongs to
themselves. There should be a
National bar association among
Negro lawyers. Can one be or
ganized!

A NEW RICHMOND IN THE
FIELD.

Mr.. Frank Clark, of the Sec
ond district of Florida, intro
duced a bill in Congress a few
weeks ago to establish Jim
Grow" cars in the District of Co
lumbia. This bill was referred to
the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia for a report. 1t was
not long before the bill was re-
turned by this body to the effect
that there was no Jim Grow"
sentiment in this city, so far as
Jim Grow" cars and other Jim
Crowism" were concerned. IF the
Commissioners had been born
upon a farm, like the author of
the bill, and had not been used to
good treatment by the people
