In the town of baltimore only about
five hours distant from the city of

prohibits the owners or drivers Of au

the terms of the ordinance and alleg-

Voice Of the People
Thc. COLLEGE FOR Women.

The following letter from President
CraIghead. OF Tulane University, on
the subject of higher education for
women. Is printed ut the request OF
Miss Mary Louise Fercy.tchalrman OF
the press committee charged with in
forming the public as TO the advan-
tagcs of n college for women as a
CO. ordinate school OF the University
of Virginia:
The Tulane University OF
Louisiana. New Orleans.
Office of the President
MY Dear Mrs. Lewis.-Your letter
Of May IS has just reached me. The
Ncwcomh College is a department of
Tulane University, under the absolute
control nf the administrators OF Tulane
University, 1t is solely n college for
women. and in Its undergraduates work
women alone are admitted. In my
opinion such college has every nd
vantage over separate and indie
pendent college for women. This will
he clear To any one who gives the
matter serious attention.
In the FIRST place. It is far more
lege q department of ia university
rather than a separate institutions. One
General library Will answer for the
whole university In all Departments;
expensive scientific apparatus may be
used both by mon and women; one
astronomical observa tory will ans wer
all the needs of the university In
addition 10 this the wo,nan's college,
may have for n limited cost the SER
vices of the distinguished professor
Of tho university. The woman's COLL eye,
moreover has the advantage OF being
in great university centre. There
are no disadvantages. 1t is Well for
the young women and young men to
meet occasionally
The plan has worked well Mt Tulane.
We are now proposing to place the wo-
mans college practically upon the.
same campus with Tulane. We do not
anticipate any trouble. II T can give
you further In formation kindly COM
mnnd me. y! EDWIN B. CRAIGHEAD.

! Certain negro leaders of Lexington
Kentucky. having sought to stir up
discomfort among tho members OF
their race because Of tho provision
made FOR the education OF negroes by
the School Board of that community.
Alderman Skinner made statement
In tho local newspapers giving
some facts which would appear to dis
pose effectively OF the complaint made
by the colored people Tho negroes
OF Lexington pay taxes on property
valued at s7T4.7S5. The school tax
rate of the State Is 80 cents on each
one hundred dollars. The school taxes.
therefore. paid by tho negroes OF Lex
ington Tor the support OF the schools
amount to s2.71l.5s. The State tax
ratio for public school purposes is -
cents OH each ono hundred dollars,
and the amount contributed by the
negroes of Lexington for the state
school Is Sl.70l.i1. making total OF
s+.il5.a9 which the negroes of Lex
ington contribute to the cause or
public education.
The negro schools in Lexington last
year received sa4.s71.s6. of which
amount the negroes paid Sl.ilS.?9. The
white citizens of Lexington ray taxes
on S22,o00.O00 OF property. or $4,000.
which is about eighteen times the
amount contributed by the colored cit
liens or Lexington
dispose of tho complaint made by the
negro leaders. Yet education Is not
81 thing that Ia to be measured In It's
value to the community by the source
from which the revenue received Tor
educational purposes comes. In every
community large sums arc paid Tor
police projections for the promotion
OF the public health ana for other
community purposes. and the greater
part of the money paid out for such
purposes is derived from those who
are not so much interesied, directly,
as other people in the community who
do not contribute nearly so much for
the support of Its public activities.
The negro should be educated. OF
course. for the protection of tho rest
of tho community as we'll as for his
own advantage. and the negro who will
think about II minute will come to
the conclusion doubtless that his well
fare is 10 DO conserved hest not by
idle and foolish complaints of what
has been done for his elevation. but
by some sense of appreciation and
gratitude for the kindness with which
lie has been treated generally BY his
white fellow citizens.

The words of our text. taken from
