HAMPTON HONORS NATAL
DAY OF S. C. ARMSTRONG
Early Struggles of the Great Educator
Told by Intimate Friend.

Hampton. Na.-The recent obsery-
ance of founders day by the faculty
and students ot the Hampton Normal
and Agricultural institute in this town
was one of the most interesting and in
spring celebrations held for many
years. The exercises We're held in hon
or of the birthday of General S. c.
Armstrong, who founded the school in
1865 and who was its honored presi-
dent for Il quarter of a century.
The principal speaker of the occa-
sion was DR.. Il. W. Schauffler of Kan
sas City, Mo-. who told the story of his
association with General Armstrong in
the work of taking care of the colored
people who came to the tidewater ser.-
ton of Virginia toward the close of the
civil war. DR.. Schautfler was also
coworker with the general in the freed
mems bureau.
After the war. said DIR. Schaufiier,
General Armstrong was put in charge
of a district of the Freedmen's bureau,
with headquarters at Hampton. His
district embraced the counties of Eliz-
abeth City, Warwick, York. James City,
Charles City. New Kent, King and
Queen. Gloucester and Mathews. The
only way of travelling over this large
domain was on horseback or by sail
boat. His duties as superintendent
were varied.
A thousand questions came up as to
the title to land, what disposition to
make of the colored people massed in
this region. how TO secure employment
for them and how to wean the coored
people from the support of the govern
ment. General Armstrong also had to
care for the supervision of the schools
which had been started by the Amerl-
can Missionary association and the
Quakers.
During these trying days General
Armstrong showed his marvellous fac
ulty of getting along with all sorts of
people. Against the opinions of his
friends General Armstrong made up
his mind TO organize a school for Negro
youth where the elements of Il pracH-
cal and Christian education would be
taught The Hampton school IS
monument TO the man who followed
his ideals and turned his back on self
ish ends TO work for others.

FARMERS AS EDUCATORS.
School In Ladonia (Tex.) Helped by
Farmers Improvement Society.

School In Ladonia (Tex.) Helped by
Farmers Improvement Society.
Ladonia, Textile progress which
the Farmers Improvement society of
Colorado county. Tex. is making is a
striking example of the possibilities
open to our people in various sections
of the south. The society was organ
lied after much persistent effort on
the part of the promoters to get the
farmers to see the necessity for and
realize the value to them of such an
organization. One of the first matters
to be considered after the society was
formed was how to assist the members
in getting rid of the credit system
Thus far n good many have wiped
out the Indebtedness which was on
their homes and farms when the com
pany started. The slogan of the mem
bers is to refrain from spending time
and money upon foolish and harmful
projects, to educate their children, buy
homes and conduct their farms after
the most approved and profitable agri-
cultural methods.
The society has secured charter by
which similar organizations may be
formed. Already the movement has
spread over Texas and Oklahoma. The
society takes a leading part In the
management of the college at Ladonia,
Tex, which owns eighty-two acres of
land, fine buildings, cattle and live
stock. The institution is free of debt,
and the prospects for building up a
great school and a more thrifty com
munity are very bright.
1t is only by such methods as these
that the race in the rural districts of
the south can hope to contribute its
share to the advancement of society
and raise the standard of living among
those of our people who follow indus
trial pursuits. The effort of the So
ciety along such lines is worthy OF
the most exactins loyalty and co-opera
ton which could possibly be given on
the part of any class of people.

DR.. EDWARD w. BLYDEN DIES
Noted Statesman and Scholar Passes
Away In Africa.

away IN ATfiCa.
Rev. DR.. Edward Wilmot Blyden of
Liberia. author. lecturer, statesman and
diplomat. who died recently, was one
of the most eminent scholars of the
Negro race. He was born in the Dan
ISL island of St Thomas, In the West
indies, on Aug. 3, 1882. His parents,
who were of pure Negro stock, be-
longed to the Dutch Reformed church,
and the boy was baptized as member
OF this denomination. His pastor, the
Rev. John p. Knox, formerly of New
town, n. Y, early picked the boy out
as showing exceptional promise and
advised him to come to the United
States and enter an American college.
Accordingly at the age Of eighteen,
with the assistance of his pastor, Mr..
Blyden came to New York.
This was in 1850, just after the pas
sage of the fugitive slave law and in
the height Of the excitement over the
slavery question. The young Negro
made application for admission to sew
eral colleges. but all of them refused
to receive him. 1t had been his inten-
ton TO go to Africa as soon as he had
obtained an education. and when he
found the doors of American colleges
closed against him he decided to go
thither at once.
In the fall Of 1850 he sailed for Ia
IBERIA, and two years later he entered
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-03-09

the Alexander mgn school at Mohro-
via, named after DR.. Archibald Alex
ander of Princeton. At that time the
colony of Liberia had been in existence
about thirty years but the republic was
less than five years old. In the Alexan-
der school he took the course in clas-
sizes and mathematics, and in 1858 he
became a teacher in the school. In
1861 he was appointed professor OF
languages in the newly founded Ii
IBERIA college. After five years service
he received a leave of absence and oc-
cupied 1t in a trip to Egypt and Pales-
tine.
He also visited the Protestant col.
lege az Beirut as the guest of DIR. Jes-
sup Here he took occasion to improve
the knowledge of Arabic which he had
begun to acquire in Africa. On his re
turn to Liberia DR.. Blyden continued
his work of teaching until 1871, when
he resigned and went on trip through
Europe. He was then appointed by the
British government as diplomatic agent
TO make treaties with the powerful
Mohammedan and pagan chiefs of the
interior tribes of Africa. After tAree
years of this work he again took charge
of the Alexander high school, which
had meantime been removed from Mon
rov,a to the interior, twenty five miles
up ST Paul's river.
In 1877 DR. Blyden was appointed
minister plenipotentiary to Great Brit
ain and served in this capacity for
three years. On~his return to Monrovia
he was elected president of Liberia col
1ege. He resigned in 1884 and took up
independent educational work among
the Mohammedans at Sierra Leone. In
1892 he was again appointed Liberian
representative at the court Of st
James. From his early years DR.. By
den was fond of the study of Ian
guages, and he possessed working
| knowledge of French. German. Italian
and Spanish among modern European
languages and of Hebrew, Greek and
Latin among the classics. His special
field. however. was Arabic.
