WIDOW LOSES HER

DEPARTMENT COMES TOO LATE

For a number of years, Mrs. Nellie
Bomar, a widow, has lived on the
second story Of a frame building on
the southwest corner OF Sixteenth

livelihood by taking in sewing and
conducting rooming house for men
only.
Mrs. Bomar had been investing her
small profits in some furniture. max

the furniture in two of the spare
rooms OF her rooming house.
II was her ambition to save enough
money to rent little cottage some place
and spend the rest of her life in peace.
But Friday morning about O'Clock Ed

AS early as 1898 a night school for
Negroes was started in Philadelphia.
In 1874 an industrial school was pro-
posed, and in 1856 the first NeerJ
university in the new world was start,
ed, named Wilberforce university, ard
now one of the largest Negr- institu.
tons of higher learning in the country.
There are operated under the au-
spices of this church the following
institutions, each one named for one
of its deceased bishops: Allen univer-
sity, Columbia, S. c.; Morris Brown
university, Atlanta, Ga; Payne col
lego, Cuthbert, Ga; Edward Waters
college, Jacksonville, Fla; Payne uni,
v~ersity, Selma, Ala; Campbell college,
Jackson, Miss; hampton college, Wa

the Shaffer High school in Liberia,
West Africa; Turner seminary, Shell
byville, Tenn, and Kittrell college III
North Carolina, and institutions in
Capetown, South Africa, and George
town, South America.
The members of this church have
raised more than So, 1000, 900 to support
their schools, and their graduates are
scattered all over the world-vhere
Negroes are. Some are teaching the
Filipincs; some are organizing and
training the militia of Liberia, the Ne
gro republic of West Africa, and they
are in every state in the Union in al
most every honorable occupation of
labor. A hundred African students
have been trained in these schools
for the purpose of going back to their
homes to help raise their people. The
watchword of the church is "%self-re
spect and self-belp."

there are things more fundamental

many of these pupils, who come from
homes where the use of water for
cleansing purposes has never reen

lesson to learn. 1t is remarkable how
quickly they come to realize the value
of this lesson, and the pride With

AFR0-AMERICAN CULL|NCS

The bestowal of the first Spingarn
medal-an admirably planned prize, to
be awarded annually to the colored
man or who has rendered the
greatest service to the colored race
upon Prof. Ernest e. Just, a young
scientist and professor in the Howard
university medical school, attracted
widespread attention. The committee,
of Which MI. Taft is a member, did
not find the choice an easy one. there
being a number of possibilities from
whom to select. That the recipient
should be a scientist rather than an
inventor, or a leader in farming or
banking, will doubtless surprise many
people, as it will put to their trumps
those who continue to maintain that
the Negro is incapable of the higher
education. Professor Just, be it noted,
is but thirty-one years of age; yet he
has already attracted the attention of
scientists of repute, no less q one than
Prof. Jacques Loeb endorsing his
original work in physiology, biology
II zoology in these terms;
His knowledge of biology and his
critical ability are of an unusually
high and lofty order. In the work that
he devotes to Howard university he is
actuated by very high motives, since
the remuneration he receives is only a
fraction of his nominal salary. He
could easily increase his income by
giving up his position. Professor Just
has sacrificed a good deal for the ad-
vancement of medical schools for col
ored people, and he will do a good deal
more if he is given a chance, as l
hope he may be-"
Plainly, this is just the type of man
the Spingarn medal ought to distin-
Guish-a colored man who is proving
the capability of the race, and is also
ready to make sacrifices for the benefit
of his people. 1t has been a distinct
weakness of the race in it's struggle
upward from slavery that it has often
lacked solidarity and a readiness to
contribute to the welfare of the whole.
That this is now a rapidly passing
condition there are plenty of instances
besides this M of Professor Just to
prove. Indeed, the support given to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, in whose
hands Professor Spingarn has placed
the award of the medal, is a re-
markable case in point. That or
ganization has taken radical and I'M
popular ground; timeservers in both
races have stunned it as if it were
something unworthy, instead of a man.
ly and straightforward effort to pre-
serve to the colored people their civil
n political rights as guaranteed by
the constitution. Yet the association has
hourished, spread over the country,
and made a reputation for itself as a
guardian of the colored peoples
liberties, largely as a result of the
efforts and financial sacrifices of the
Negroes themselves.
