THE EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO
PRIOR TO 1851. BY c. G. Woodson,
Phi D. New York: G. P. Putnam s
Sons.
This is history of the education of
the colored people of the United States
from the beginning of slavery to the
civil war. DR.. Woodson gives an in
teresting account Of the origin of the
book in hand. About couple of years
ago, while engaged in collecting facts
to show the development of negro edu-
cation since the war, he made use OF
some earlier documents for the pur-
pose of supplying a background for
these recent achievements. These early
documents convinced him that a. most
useful and interesting book might be
made on the -bellum period of this
theme This is that book. 1t Is the
story of effort on the part OF certain
agencies to educate the negro. 1t is
above all the story OF the strivings Of

RoI-T two year. after the war be-
IN tween the sections of the coun-
4S try had ended it was observed
that few women of Columbus, MISS.
had decorated the graves in that Vlcin-
;ty With the choicest of springs early
blooms This little act Of thoughtful
ness included Union as well as Confed-
crate soldiers A New York newspaper
published a notice Of this occurrence and
made a few remarks commencing it.
From that humble beginning has
sprung our great holiday of the decora-
ton, which was formally established in
1868 AT that time Adjt Gen. Chapman
suggested to Gen. John A. Logan. COM
mander- chief Of the C. A R., that
their organiza tion set a regular day on
which to decorate the grave of the Union
soldiers. May 80 was decided upon by
Cen Logan, who urged the people OF
village and hamlet churchyard through
out the land. He offered no form Of
ceremony to be followed. but suggested
to his comrades that they carry out such
testimonials and services of respect as
they deemed fitting and proper. In con-
Guiding he set forth the earnest hope
that the observance which he inausu-
rated would be kept up from year TO

On the first memorial day twenty
seven states Joined in the celebration
and the heroes graves were strewn
with flowers in 1873 burying places. At
Arlington on that occasion the services
were unusually impressive and James
A. Garfield was the speaker of the day.
His address will ever be remembered
as a foremost exponent of the spirit
and significance of the great holiday.
In the following year, 1853, however.
more ella borate preparations had been
made and the program carried out at
the national cemetery was one of the
best in all the history of Decoration
day. The bodies of thousands and thou
sands which were gathered from the
batt1efields of Virginia and Maryland,
together with those whose remains
were removed from trenches and pits

beautiful resting place that the govern
! ment had set aside, and II seemed justly
| appropriate that unusual ceremonies
should take place there.

order and, headed by the full Marine
Band of thirty-eight musicians. under
Prof. Scala, marched to the cemetery.
There they drew up in the rear of the
grandstand and were detached for

accomm odated about 400 people, was
