copper has fallen to that level and coffee

will fall to the 1918 levels seems imprOb-

THE OUTLOOK IN NEGRO

What should be the aim of the edu-
cation Of the Negro? Obviously, first
otall. the student sho uld be fitted to
make definite contribution to the
life of the community to which he is to
90. Evidently he can do this only If
his individual powers are developed to
their highest point. In Negro schools,
accordingly we ask for recognition OF
the fact that all individuals are not
alike, and for courses of study which
will enable each student to be of most
service to his fellow-men. Whatever
might be the special field, the train
ing should be absolutely thorough.
We would rather see boy plane a
board correctly than have him work
problem in trigonometry Incorrectly;
and on the other hand we would rather
see a student construe Homer with
precision than keep dairy that is
not perfectly clean.
Finally let us remember the pecu-
liar problems of those whom we edu-
cat. No real attainment can be made
bv anv race or nation without a whole
some basis Of self-respect nor can the
Negro advance to the greatest heights
so long as his ideals are wholly those
Of another people, however cordial or
friendly. I believe in the study of
Nrgo history, in the preservation OF
Negro music, and in the cultivation OF
80. egro art. Teach our boys something

and Paul Dunbar, of, the heroism of
| Crispus Attacks and Sojourner Truth
and Harriet Tubman, of the greatness
Of Toussaint L'Ouverture, and new

hope into their eyes.

GOSE FOR STATE AUDITOR.
observes PROMOTION

Gate City (Keokuk): Edwin 5. Gose,
of Greene county, at present deputy
auditor of state, will be candidate for
nomination for state auditor in the re-
publican primaries next June. Mr.. Gosc
hasbeen deputy state auditor since
1915. Before that he was county audi
tor in Greene county for eight years. So
it would seem that his training has
been such as to fit him for the job he
seeks. A good workman in one depart
ment deserves promotion to higher po-
sition in the same line of work, and this
fact should be recognized by republican
voters when they enter the polling
places next primary day.
It will be of interest tothc colored
voters throughout the, city and state to
know that Mr.. Gose is n member and a
strong advocate of the Des Moines
branch of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored people and
has been for several years. He has tax
en- his stand for us so let us be loyal to
those who have our interests at heart.
He has the strong endorsement of Hon.
