The February School News.

(From Student" Tuskegee, Ala.p
The February School News" pub
lished by Mr.. J. R E. Lee, as editor,
offers a vigorous chapter in modern
Negro education. Barring an inter
esting article on the National AssO-
ciation, by President w. T. B. Will
liams, and few editorials, the News
is devoted to setting forth the work
of the Jeanes Fund Those who have
looked upon this fund as sort OF
myth, or as a source of revenue to
some one locality will be startled at
the activity and results that this Foun-
dation has brought to light. A gen.
eral report by DR.. Jas. H. billiard, and
a more detailed report by Prof. B. c,
Caldwell, his assistant, show what
seven-league strides are being made
in rendering the rural community hab-
liable, by taking the pupils of these
districts more efficient and the rural
dwellings more like homes.

Discussing the work of the indus
trial supervisor of the rural schools,
DIR. Dillard shows that III each, the
physician, as the instructor might be
called, is prescribing remedies to suit
the ills of the patient at hand. Thus
he says: Some are aiming to help
the local teachers. Some are making
special efforts to lengthen school
terms. Some are organizing clubs and
school improvement leagues, and
might be called social organizers as
well as teachers. When | have found
that anyone showed special interest or
aptitude in emphasizing any line OF
work which was useful, | have not
interfered.
Thus too it is with the trades intro
duced by these instructors. Sewing,
dyeing, rug-weaving, gardening, bas-
ket work, cooking, III addition to
showing the teacher some good
methods of teaching arithmetic and
other subjects, furnish an outline OF
the actual school work these teach
ers perform
1t is Prof. Caldwells report, how
ever, which shows the full play OF this

how many schools are being helped
by this fund, how much each secures

The speaker called attention to the
crimes of the race, and cited these
startling facts, taking for an example
a Northern State, New Jersey: The
Negroes of that State comprise only
S per cent of the total population, and
yet furnish 90 per cent of the criminal
population. To correct these evils, il
is the plan and purpose of the Ma
tional Religious Training School to
send out settlement workers who are
trained in the laws of sanitation and
economics, and by precept and ex-
ample lead men to better lives The
school has a summer term, extension
literary and industrial centers. Among
the recent large givers have been
Messrs. ]. B. and B. n Duke and
Mrs. Russell Sage.
One of the strongest arguments.
apart from the actual need of this kind
of school, is the fact that the South

best element of progress are among
its strongest supporters.
