He learns to cherish the ideals and to foster the hopes and ambitions of his more fortunate co-students. For him, these ideals are unattainable, and after graduation, he finds himself utterly crushed and disheartened by cruel, inexorable laws of separate existence. He is prepared for that which he cannot get, and gets that for which he is not prepared. A further objection is that he is deprived of the opportunity of developing his racial excellence. If there is any superior racial trait, characteristic or talent inherent in the Negro, it can be brought out and developed only under the stimulus of race idealism; and where in any white society is the Negro race idealized? So much for the mixed school system. The Negro and The COLLEGE As the opening of the school year comes apace, we are confronted with the task of selecting suitable schools and providing proper and adequate instruction for our Negro boys and girls. It is easy to make serious mistakes in this connection, if we fail to comprehend the true purposes of education. Primarily, education means the systematic training and developing of the common faculties. Secondarily, it means the preparation of the mind and hand for some useful pursuit in life. The educational needs of the Negro are peculiar, especially with reference to his special or vocational training. The reason is found in his peculiar social and economic condition. In America he comprises a well defined social class, whose fortunes are so inevitably welded together, that the rise or fall of a single member affects the whole. Each member of the class must be trained in a manner conducive to the greatest good of all. In determining then, what is useful as a vocation for a Negro boy, or in prescribing his proper special education, we must first determine what is best for all of us; or, what is most necessary to our material advancement; remembering always that our status as a class is practically fixed and irrevocable. High classical and scientific education is generally speaking, among the very least of our needs of today. Even as a teacher, the danger is that the recipient is almost always educated out of hearing of the crying needs of his people. Very often he becomes a professional graduate, and lives by the tinseled pomp and glamour of his scholastic achievement. His graduation is the end and not the commencement of his usefulness. In this aspect, he is an undesirable factor, and only too fast is becoming a pernicious faction. Our one great universal need is the cultivation of thriftiness. Thrift is the never ceasing endeavor to acquire material wealth and advantage. Thrift is economy both domestic and political. There are many thrifty Negroes, of course, but as a people, we are inclined towards improvidence, and indifference to the common rules of progress. The remedy is a constitutional one. We must acquire the habit of work and make it a racial attribute, or forever remain an inferior, execrated people. Since the idea is foreign to our domestic lives, we must impart it to our young through the medium of the school. The thought that work is simply a commodity to be sold at so much per day or hour must be dissipated. Work is as much a necessary element of life as food and sleep. When we cease to work, we suffer both physical and moral decay. When we cease to work, we must die, racially and individually. High classical learning can never supply this basic ingredient. Let him who loves to work, attain to whatever heights he will. But since the proportion of those who hate to work is as ninety-nine to one hundred, let us apply the proper remedy and perform the operation of infusing into our veins the great specific—Industrial Education. Booker T. Washington,) through his scheme of industrial training, has done more in the last quarter of a century to facilitate the solution of this problem, than any other agency. The influence of Tuskegee Institute is not confined to the immediate beneficiaries of the school. It extends to the four quarters of the earth. White and black men alike, have been compelled to realize the potent force of the "Tuskegee Idea," and the Institute where work and study are so happily blended has become the educational wonder of the times. I desire to point out the utter inefficiency of all systems of education, which do not embody the industrial element, and to show that Negro colleges, where general, classical and scientific education is "imposed" upon us, are out of consonance with our social needs and economic requirements. In the North, mixed schools for white and colored children furnish an element which further retards our progress. Let us consider this a moment. Mixed education in America is bad. Bad because it is mixed, and bad because it is inadequate. A separate social and commercial status, calls for a separate training. A white boy goes through school with the assurance of opportunities limited only by his individual merit. A colored boy is foredoomed by class and racial distinction to a narrow, restricted field of endeavor. He can never rise above his kind: In mixed schools, he finds no sympathetic bonds between himself and his white teacher, or between himself and his white schoolmates. He is no Let us encourage and patronize industrial schools for Negro boys and girls. Tuskegee is the model and the standard. I want to suggest, however, that there may be too much freedom of election in the vocational departments; and that a closer insight into the first requirements of all the people would direct a general, uniform and compulsory course of study. Tuskegee offers a choice of training in thirty trades.

And then came capitalization in the form of the plow share. He first lived in a cave and hid his nakedness with skins. Then came houses and woyen fabrigy Bye and bye there was a surplus of products, that is more than enough to supply his living re- quirements. Ther came market places, the intereourse of commerce aud means of transportation, such as ships and railroads. ‘Towns and cities, trades and professions are all the natural outgrowth of the surplus product of the farm, made necessary by the economie laws of exchange. As T have pointed out, we are by the force of proseription pushed back to the farm. Let us start there and become first, producers, then commercial factors, then artisans and professional men, then ship- pers and builders of railroads and cities. )Our edneational development will keep ipace with our productiveness and the eon- l servation of our resources, and all the race Jantipathy of the nether regions will not prevail avainst our progress. | In these foregoing premises, T eoneeive lthat industrial schools for Negroes, besides their general educational provisions, which ‘are usally good and adequate, should of- fer principally, training in agrieulture and in the arts and stiences necessary to pro- ‘eressive farming and good husbandry. Work, should be their fundamental aim; ‘the farm, their chief objective. They should seek to produce good practical farm- ers, dairymen, and stock raisers, with knowledge of seientifie principles. Each hoy graduate should be able to build a barn, a corn-crib and a wagon bed. We should know how to construct a silo, ereet a fence, conerete a cistern and tire a wheel. He ‘should be able to temper, sharpen and ad- just his implements. oe | Bach girl graduate should have a little ‘more domestic art and a little less domestic ‘science. She shoul have a little more ex- ee in the kitehen of the institution rnd_a little less of laboratory cooking. She should be able to sew well and he required to make Wer own clothes—yes, and to laun- der them, too. First of all, she needs to be a good housewife and perchance a good servant, if that should be her lot. Tn all events let her be prepared to answer the stern call of Emergency. Many a colored virl has fallen beeause she could not get a school to teach, and because she had gone | antntored in one of the great, prime requisites of good young womanhood—do- mestie art. By some this paper will be deemed de- structive—by some progressive. Let him who thinks it is destructive find another way to better our social and economic con- dition than by directing the combined en- ergy of his people into the channel where it is needed most, and T will recant. these pages. BENNY GSARU UW TBARS ahh CUUCaTIONAalL program for, let us say, the Esquimaux, I would not include brick and stone masonry ; nor plastering; nor carpentry; nor strue- tural iron work; nor horse-shoeing; nor tailoring; nor anything, in short, that is not necessary or essential to their material wel- fare. I should teach them the best scientific methods of the fisheries industry—how to conserve the use of thei¢ natural products --how to utilize their by-products, and how to market their output to the best advan- tage. The Negro has as little present need of the skilled trades as the Hsquimaux. He is cireumseribed by sdg¢ial and commereial conditions as comp!ctely as the Esquimaux is surrounded by the frozen ranges of the North. The land, that is the farm, fur- nishes his only considerable chance to be- come a producer, and from the farm, he must wring his sustenance, just as the deni zeus of the Areties win their living from the ice fields. As between the two the advan- tage is with the former. The source of all the wealth of all the ages, is his for ex- ploitation. The social order under which he lives makes this one decree: that he, like all the other peoples of the world must start at the beginning—with the soil. The Jew is a great example of a race that accepted its only chanee and wrung from society an equal opportunity. The soil was denied to him. Citizenship was with- held; even the equal proteetion of the laws, as to his person and property, was not vouchsafed to him. Ile was a wanderer. His only means of livelihood was the sale and barter of small merchandise, He took that chanee; to the last man of him, he be- came an itinerant merchant. No mechan- ical arts or professions for him. He dealt in little wares and jewelry. His whole stock in trade was the size of the pack he car- ried. The upper classes of the society of the times were nobles, soldiers and ecclesi- asts; the lowér classes were farmers. To trade was not respectable; it was left for the Jew, who became a time and place pro- dueer. As he acquired wealth, his social status rose higher and he capitalized his growing opportunities by renting store houses, and becoming a stationary mer- chant. His surplus he loaned at high rates of interest. The interest must be high, be- cause frequently his debtors repudiated their debts; and. the risk was great. He became a banker and financed the govern- ments of the world. And then, when at last he became a citizen and a respected member of the very society that had for centuries spurned him, he became an arti- san and a professional man, If the Negro has but little use of the trades, they should be but little taught to him. Aside from the very promising re- sults of his labor on the farm, he produces practically nothing. The artisan and pro- fessional element of the race is already too large in proportion to the producing ele- ment. To justify the large number of arti- sans among the race, we should have cap- SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED AT © THIS OFFICE “ iH MSCALL’S MAGAZINE f , RA aT ® OK xhng ae fg ot Jam ene bi Mh areas” oe vin oe eed ail Per oe but you can begin work with at once; also a by money order 30 THE STAR HAIR GROWERS Branch, 1118 Clark St., Suoth Anston, Ill.

HITE Nashville Fire Department BROMAN CHEMICAL CO., Nashville, Tenn.: Dear Sirs, Having taken your medicine with such good success, I inform you what effect and upon us. Several years ago, I received a brief suggestion and River trouble, and was later told by them what an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to treat that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and loss of life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your medicine. A groovish mass from my system including a number of groovine gall stones. Thank heaven I took my friend's advice, and am now up and able to perform my duties. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, vowed tongue, scribble on rising in the morning, and gaze my stomach, and I was not able to speak. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed for the Nashville Fire Department, and will always recommend your medicine.
