The chief aim Of the higher educa

Howard university. According TO the
last available data from the federal
census. there are 1900 Negro clergy
men, sbout two thousand Negro ply
sicians and dentists, 2l.00o Negro
teachers. 100 Negro lawyers, and sew
erai thousand workers along the 9th
er lines of the higher cahings and
pursuits. These constitute about one
half OF per cent Of the race: but IL
is to this class thai the ss1s per cent
must look for leadership"
Then Professor Miller points Out
that the graduates of Negro colleges
and universities are al times .'derided
in all the moods and lenses Of irony
and ridicule.
In the rapid rise Of this class from
the lower to the higher levels of life
instances of neutrality-suspicious. and gro

the graduates of Negro colleges and

ROYAL SCOTS GRIM,
ENDURING FIGHTERS
When Jocks Lead, Regiment
Behind Must Scramble
for Share in Fun.
Copyright. 1850

SALONIKT. October 27-There is a
Scotch regiment here which takes its
liquor to truly Caledonian toast:
Here's tae US. Whas like US? Damn
few
That sentiment did not make for
popularity once. Only those who would
truckle for whisky's sake drank with
them. After that announcement had
been repeated about five grim times the
wise boss of a barroom turned out the
light and hid under the bed Nowadays
it goes with a roar and chorus. Even
those who are buying their own drinks
on army pay and at the Saloniki scale
join in on it:
Here's to EN-" shout the Sassenachs.
who's like 'em? Damn few"
Because the Jocks have something
more than made good the Scotch claim
to be fighting men. It's a little early
to say that this regiment or that are
the best Britons at Saloniki. but the
opinion seems to be unanimous that if
the Jocks are at the back. the regiment
in front is sure they'll stay there. If
the Jocks are in front. the regiment be-
hind will have to scramble to get part
of the fun. There is no invidious rat
ing between the Scotch regiments. They
are all dour. grim. enduring fighting

Anyhow, the Royal Scots were one

line. There were three Bulgars to one

out of their trenches and lined up on
the Bulgarian side of the barbed wire
The captain of eighteen-pounde was
unable to more than indicate the scene
He was dimly conscious that on either
side of him ran line of men, grimly
silent. resting as though carved in
stone on their musketss. Now and then
fash Of lightning pierced the wet
veil of night. He caught dim glimpsos
of their sodden bounets and their drip
ping kits, and their sour, hard faces
Then came the pipes.
