EDUCATING THE, NEGRO.

Lincoln Institute at Jefferson Cit!
has unique history. 1t was found
ed as a result of gifts by two regi
ments of negro soldiers that tough,
i'm the Civil War. At the close OF
the war, these regiments. the 62nd
and G5th L. S. Colored Infantry
gave $6.379 toward founding a
school in Missouri for negroes.
Few states are doing more to-
ward the education of the negro than
is Missouri. Although negroes are
not admitted to white schools in this
state, there are few communities
that do not support negro schools.
Columbia provides a high school for
negro students. Lincoln Institute at
jefferson City is ranked as one of
the best schools for negroes in the
Hill of the University of Missouri is
a member of the board of regents.
Missouri has occasionally been
criticised in states where the color
line is not drawn in the schools. 1t
is safe to say that none of these
ions for the education of negroes as
Missouri. The idea that Missouri
has neglected negro education is far
from the truth

An Elizdbethdn Play

! loses his position. He meets Hum
phrey with Luce. There is a fight
and Humphrey loses his girl.
The citizen and his wife take ev-
erything very seriously. Humphrey
has the wife's sympathy. She sends
Ralph after Jasper to give him a
sound trOuncing, but Ralph fares
badly and a good pair of feet save
him from harder luck. Eventual
Iy. Luce's father gets possession of
the girl.
Ralph is sent by the citizen and
his wife to help those they think
need it or fight those they think de-
serving of black eye. Ralph has a
great adventure with barber. 1t
must be remembered that BARRIERS in
/ the Elizabethan days were dentists
and surgeons. Their favOrite cure
for all diseases was bleeding. Ralph
is told of a terrible man who tor
lures people by swapping off their
hair, pulling out their teeth and let
ting their blood. He searches him
out and fights with the monster. fol-
lowing the suggestions of the citizen
and his wife. He also frees the
victims whom he finds in the barber
shop. Ralph has many adventures
and really does not prove so bad an
actor although his exploits and the
Interruptions of the citizen and wife
are a source of annoyance to the
other actors.
Jasper at length gets his girl. The
love plot is most interesting, but to
tell it would spoil the keenest en-
joyment of the play for those who
will see it.
We hear the songs of Merry
thought and his delight when his
wife leaves him. The gallants on
the stage butt in" as the citizen
does when they think fit. The peo-
pie in the balconies rage when the
gallants Obstruct the view of the
stage. The play goes merrily on
There are no intermissions or scene
shifting. Signs hung out tell where
the action is taking place. The play
has happy ending. 1t is past ;
o'clock. The actors advance and on
their knees ask blessing on the
reigning sovereign. We do not listen
to the blessing. The play is over
we want the sunshine without.

THE REAL REASON.

We read i'm the New York World
THE chief aim of the (SOuth Pole }
expedition. however. after having at.
tanned the honor of actually reaching
the Pole. was to determine whether
gold existed in the higher ATTITUDES. +"
SO now We have the real reason for
this long search for the Pole. 1t was
not scientific; it was plainly utilitar-
ian. Perhaps it was not even that.
1t was nothing more than hunt for
a supposed treasure.
And now gold stands clear above
science. Th're was no hope that
the land around the South Pole
would yield something that people
have long been in need of, something
the discovery of which will make
life easier for those who now find
it so hard. No. 1t was just repe-
tition of the time-honOred, and an
cient search; the search that drives
men to brave the elements. to risk
their lives. and separate themselves
from the rest of the wOrld-the
search for gold.
