| Wherefore university and deals with
the progress that has been made In
Ohio In the educatio of the colored
race.
THE first move to furnish SEM
mary Of learning for the colored race
in Ohio originated with Daniel A.
Payne, a self educated Negro Of
Charleston. 8. G. As result Of his
efforts Union seminary, near Colum-
bus, was organized in 1914. That
Payne was one Of the great benefac-
tors Of his race and had rare foresight
is shown by the fact that the school
was started on the manual training
plan.
Union seminary by reason Of loca-
tion and other circumstances made
slow growth. but it was the pioneer
and contributed largely to the found
ing Of Wilberforce university and was
finally, in 1863, consolidated with the
latter institution. While there are nu.
merous small colleges. there are only
about a half dozen great universities
in America for the higher education

mond for his painstaking and intel

ted to him for training. So entirely
satisfactory Is Director Hammond's
work, not alone to his immediate COM

compose the Ninth cavalry band, that
they have decided to make up a large
fund to enable him to spend his fur
Tough in Europe, where he will have
an opportunity to study the methods
Of army bands and concert orches-
tras Of the old world.
This is indeed a high compliment to
the professional ability Of this colored
musical director. Hitherto this field
has been monopolized almost entirely
by white bandmasters. and they have
not always been in thorough sympathy
with the men under them. The success
Of this band disproves the oft repeated
statement that colored men will not be
led by colored officers in the army and
that they are better led by white men,
Director Hammond's men seem to
have responded more readily to his
methods of instruction than the white
officers commanding the post had ex-
pected, and the experiment Of col
ored bandmaster for q colored band
has been shown to be such q bowling
success that other worthy and COM
petent men ambitious to win honors
and distinction in this branch Of the
military service Of the United States
will now have little difficulty in finding

Colored bandmasters have fourished
In Europe for years. Some Of the best
musicians in the world are black men.
They are scattered all over Europe.
