PROGRESSIVE LAW SCHOOL
AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
This Department May Be Moved From
Its Present Site.

Such careless misstatements as to the
School of Law of Howard university,
in Washington. have been circulated
as the result of an article recently
printed in a Washington paper from
young attorney who might easily have
had access to the facts that the follow
ing statements giving the true situation
have been sent forth from the offices
of the university.
First.-No definite steps whatever
have been taken looking to the removal
of the School of Law from its present
site. A committee of the board of trus-
tees has merely been appointed to in
quire into the feasibility of the re-
moval of the school to the campus and
to report its findings to the board. The
appointment Of the committee Is based
on the fact that the school has now
grown to such proportions that its
present facilities are utterly inadequate
to the future enlarged growth that is
confidently expected. Any plan for re-
moval would contemplate the sale of
the present valuable site and the erec-
ton of the most eligible site available
on the campus of n modern. up to date
building. with large assembly room
and lecture halls. greatly enlarged H.
brary space to meet the needs of the
growing library and other needed facil-
tiles.
The new 100000 law school at Co
lumbia. as well as the new building at
Harvard, is located on the campus Of
the institution. This would bring stu
dents into the atmosphere of univer-
sity life. giving them the facilities of
the Carnegie library. access to college
classes. etc. This is the modern ten
dency. However, all parties interested
will have a hearing before any recon-
mendation even is made to the board
This is not likely to be made before
1913. as no offer has been received for
the present building.
Second.-The present administration
has greatly enlarged the facilities of
| the school. At much cost an additional
large lecture room occupying the sec
ond floor has been fitted up. thus re-
| lieving the library room from law
classes. About $1,000 or more in cash
has been expended in law books dur
| ing the last five or six years. An as
/
sistant librarian has been appointed in
order to render the library available
for students throughout the entire day
and evening.
Third.-The standards of entrance
have been raised to include four
years high school course or Its equiva-
lent. thus elevating the character of
the school and giving new dignity and
strength to the graduates from this de-
partment of the university. Even un-
der the advanced standards the attend
ance now surpasses all previous rec
ords. and the quality of the student
body has been elevated. Competent
/ Judges of the recent public moot court

and knowledge Of the law displayed.
surpassed the record Of previous years.

that" Mr.. Hogan set about to sur
round himself with capable assistants.
He is the legal adviser of a great state
of over 100000, and he must have
efficiency above all else.
He was elected on partisan plat
form, but he is the attorney general of
all the people. So Mr.. Hogan thought
to himself after he had settled into the
routine of his official duties that mas
much as the colored people form a
considerable portion of the Ohio popu-
lation they should have representation
In his Office. He said If Ohio could
furnish him the right man he would
appoint the man as one of his as
slstants.
Well, after the Ohioans had rubbed
their eyes and saw that they were not
dreaming and that Mr.. Hogan was not
joking Attorney Leroy H. Goldman
was selected and was forthwith ap-
pointed by Mr.. Hogan as special coun-
Bel at a salary of $500 per year as a
starter, the first time colored man
ever held such an Office In the state of
Ohio. Mr.. Goldman Is graduate of
Ohio State university and Howard
university law school and served for
two years with Judge Safer, federal
judge. He is making good.
So on the theory that "a bird in the
hand Is worth two in the bush," the
colored people of Ohio are going to
vote to retain Attorney General r. s.
Hogan. Mr.. Hogan took the "initia-
tive" The colored people will respond
on the referendum" and the "recall''
will get its chance In the other candi-
dates getting their just dues for the
shortcomings of their predecessors.

The colored people of Ohio, always
in the front rank of progressive
achievement, will set new example
this year for other commonwealths by
a specific act of forsighted political
sagacity. The situation came about
in this way: For number of years
the active colored Republicans have

tance Of giving some intelligent col
