u. S. Commissioner of Labor
Discusses Subject in His
Annual Report.
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE
MADE NATIONAL REPUTATION
AND ARE PLAYING lMPOR-
TANT PART IN RACE
ADJUSTMENT.

Washington, d. C.-The United
annual report on industrial education,
just issued, devotes considerable space
to the negro industrial schools
throughout the country. Speaking OF
industrial education among negroes
generally, he says: Industrial schools
for negroes are almost invariably phil
anthropic enterprises, and their work
is usually hampered by insufficient
funds. They have also had to face
special difficulties owing to the fact
that apprenticeships are practically
never open to colored workers and
hence their students must receive all
their preliminary training before leav-
ing school.
The difficulty negroes find in enter
ing skilled trade, unless it is one to
which they can work independently
or as separate groups, limits the scope
Of their work, and owing to eff
cient education of a portion neir
students much of their instruction
must be elementary. AS a further diff
f1culty they have had to counteract
the prejudices OF their own race who
have been inclined to look upon cler-
ical, commercial and professional call
ings as the only ones which could be
con sidered by the ambitious.
in spite of all these difficulties the
negro schools have done good work.
Several have won for themselves
national reputation and are playing an
important part in the adjustment of
the race to the new conditions in
which emancipation has placed them"
The report also devotes several
pages to both Tuskegee and Hamp-
ton schools and a number of other
negro industrial schools throughout
the country, including Snow Hill Nor
NAL and Industrial school at Snow
Hill, Ala, Berean Manual Training
and Industrial school at Philadelphia,
Watchman Industrial school at Provi-
dence, r. l., Alcorn Agricultural and
Mechanical college at Alcorn, Miss,
State Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege at Normal, Ala, Claflin univer-
sity at Orangeburg, S. c., and other
similar institutions.
Four pages of the report are devot-
ed to Armstrong Manual Training
school of this city, of which DR.. w. B.
Evans is principal. In speaking of
this school the commissioner of labor
the trade courses of this school are
able to hold their own in their respec-
tive trades as finished workmen"

MONKEYS AND GUM.

In tropical countries the natives
have many unique ways Of catching
monkeys. One OF them, as explained
by traveller, Is this: The hunters
walk about in short boots in sight Of
the monkeys. Then they take the
boots off, place some gum in the bot
toms and leave them on the ground,
withdrawing themselves to great dis
tance. Presently the monkeys come
down from the trees and try on the
boots, and when the hunters come
after them the boots stick to the feet
of the monkeys and they are unable to
climb. Thus the initiative little ami
mails are captured.

The great prize Of life may come by
accident. Shakespeare says: Fortune
brings in some boats that are not steered."
We must all admit that happenings and
unforeseen events over which a man has
no control often change the whole
course of his career.
Good positions do not always come by
merit, as the result of ones own direct eff
forts. Many poor laboring man is raised
to wealth by the death of some rich rela-
tive or some poor washerwoman is raised
to high position by marrying man of for
