CROSSING STATEN ISLAND.

That night I went to bed ready FOR
my return to Virginia. 1t was shortly
after 4 A. M. that awoke Robinson.
but IT was 7 o'clock that same morning
before I moved away from Hotel De
Van. When I arrived mt the State Is.

when the ferry-bont pulled out with
the Stanley steam car aboard, it was
Gfter S o'clock. 1t was n pleasant trip
and even equally as pleasant as we
drove 10 miles across Staten Island
to the Perth Amboy ferry where we
waited for tho return Of the ferry boat,
which iad just left the wharf. We lost
nearly m hour in this manner at tho
two wharves. Once on board, we were
soon on the New Jersey side, making
our way to Rrd Bank, from which
point Ihad decided to go to Asbury

A MANIFOLD SERVICE.

You both have done your duties as
FREQ citizens Of the country. While
in his letter, DR.. Miller Is doing Il
manifold service to his race, his ma
ton, his school and his own personal
dignity. which Is far beyond the es-
tfmation or calculations, or even the
possible understanding Of the average
person. I candidly believe that such
prompt and wholesome expressions Of
indignation on the part Of citizens Of
good standing will do much to relax
the stressed conditions between the
races at the present time and will
serve rs concrete basis Of operation
In ameliorating future understand
ings between them.
I have only to rearHrm that Dr..
Miller's letter ia, in this respect, a
service to society universally, aside
from tie especial service within his
nation and race and very particularly
his school, The Howard University,
He is proving that Howard Univers-
tty has an able Dean and merits the
full cooperation Of tho other leading
institutions Of the country. .....'.

a COMMON BASIS.

1t is indeed n pity that the heads
OF all the chartered institutions of
learning in the U. S. A. could not
come together and establish q COM
mon basis for cooperation In unity
ing tho American education, irrespec-
tive to race and local divisions. And
1t seems that these conditions can
only be brought about by the heads
OF the faculties themselves doing all
in their power to defend and dignity
the titles, which they concede to their
students against all future preju-
dices.
This would not only raise the
standard OF American education but
1t would sound death knoll to the
race question within the country.
This goes to prove that all kinds of
segregation in public matters are
hurtful to tho best interests or the
nation rs well as decided prejudice
to the individual. OF course there
will always be a just competition be-
tween them for first place. But this
should not be permitted to prejudice
the students in the studies which
they take in these schools and es-
pccially along the lines Of race.

AN INTELLECTUAL ADVANTAGE

because opportunity to prepare
ones self, Is not only an intellectual
advantage, but also, moral pcrsua-
sion. Likewise any one being re-
fused nm equal opportunity to earn
an honest living because Of race,
creed or any other unavoidable con-
dltion ts equal to forcing such a one
to commit crimes in the pursuit of
tho things necessary to- life.
II these things had been corrected
long ago, much Of the present I'M
happiness OF the world could have
mover como about. Hence DR.. Mil
Ter Is opening the way for the grad
yates Of the Howard University to
have an equal opportunity in the
struggle for a living as any others
OF similar preparation. This can
not be we'll done without making the
matter apply equally throughout So
ciety. Howard, like Harvard must
acquire It's universal recognition by
tho competency and general ability
OF its president and professors and
not from the students.

A GENERAL COMPARISON

This would only require a general
comparison between the leading
schools and a general standard put
upon the courses given. When any
one OF the leading schools lacked the
matters, ono or more, which be-
longed to its class, competent pro-
fcsSors should be Immediately ac-
qu1rcd and said matters instituted
No school should be permitted to hold
charter and at the same time refuse
to admit candidates with due quail
hcntionS as applicants.
TO refuse one the admittance to Il
school because OF race or creed, is
equal to preventing one from doing
his best to be Of tho greatest possible
servco to society generally and to his
government. If crimes, such &c.
race and creed determinations are
permitted to be practiced against the
individual the government should not
require any atonement for crimes
committed by such individuals.
