Society Historical (Sate House) THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER If the Hon. Joseph N. Dolley, of Maple Hill, "Kant" the People "Kan" at the Next Election! THE NEGRO AT THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY Fifty-three Out of Sixty Graduates Self Supporting---Statistics by L. M. Peace, Instructor in Botany. VOLUME XI. If the Hon. Jose THE NEGRO KANSAS Fifty-three Out of Self Supporting L. M. Peace in Be Larry M. Peace, instructor in botany at the university and a holder of a master's degree from K. U. has prepared a valuable article for the Graduate Magazine on the "Negro at K. U." Mr. Peace is a leader of his race in Kansas and his story of their fight for a higher educational, told from their own standpoint is exceedingly entertaining. It is as follow: "Thirty-nine years ago, when old North college was the university, among the few lank youths and bronzed haired maidens who came from the prairies of Kansas to begin their college careers with the study of grammar, geography, arithmetic and the like, there was a single dusky face. The enrolment of the colored people in the university of Kansas began then, in 1870 when just one student, a woman, entered the freshman class of the preparatory department. It THE WORLD'S FINEST WOMAN was not until 1873, however, that this name woman, upon entering what is now the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences, became also the first colored person to do real University work. 243 COLORED STUDENTS. "The total registration of colored people in the university has been 243 men and 68 women. The six all, in fact--who came prior to 1870 were women. Beginning with two men in 1876, by far the majority of those who came later were men. At some time during the past forty years, the university has had colored students in every school and in almost every department. At present the writer does not have in mind any course for which some colored person has not enrolled. Just how many have done some work in the graduate school is uncertain; but there has been several one of whom—a man--received credit for full work leading to a degree. Counting the students of the preparatory department, there have been altogether in what is now the College of Liberal Arts --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1969. and Sciences, 118: fifty-nine men and fifty-nine women. In the school of engineering ten men have studied at least through the freshmen year. Thirty men have studied in the school of law, while only two men and seven women have enrolled in the schools of fine arts. In the school of pharmacy twenty six men and two women have been registered, as compared with a total of sixteen men in the school of medicine. EIGHT GRADUATES ONE YEAR. "During the attendance of such students at the university for forty years, the number to graduate at any one time finished in 1901, when eight degrees were granted to colored persons; five for the college, two by the school of pharmacy and one by the school of law. During all three years, only one person has appeared for a higher degree, one man having received the degree of Master of Arts in 1908. "Whatever have been the accomplishments of the colored students in the classroom, he has taken an insignificant part in university affairs in general. A few have been identified with the various university literary societies, and have even represented the university in debate. This literary inactivity is only a seeming one, for the colored students have done quite creditable things in the town literary societies which they have always maintained. They have generally supported two or three of such societies, holding weekly meetings where all the various literary programmes could be rendered. They have maintained exclusive clubs for both men and women, one of the most progressive of which is a girls' club of some years' standing. This one is strictly a university girls' club, in which, to quote from their current year book, such subjects as "Macaulay as a Critic." "Religious Troubles in England," and "Warren Hastings," are discussed. "Though they have looked well to their literary, religious and social training, they have had very little to do with athletics. Aside from one or two baseball men, and a football player the colored students have had very little interest in university sports. "Nearly of the colored students are wholly or in part self-supporting. This was the case with fifty three out of the sixty who now hold degrees from the university. It may be that the earning of one's way through school does not need to be a handicap. Those reporting on the subject differ in opinion: indeed, an examination of the records of the colored students shows that the students who labored most strenuously to meet expenses while in school often far surpassed the students who were not all self-supporting. "It may be however, that the col. ored student is somewhat handi-capped because of the nature of the work which he must perform for a living. He is usually able to obtain an abundance of work, and is willing to do it, but the work is, as a rule, not very remunerative, and of often takes his time inopportunely. There were no clerks stenographers, bookkeepers and the like among those fifty-three people who worked their way through the university. They were table waiters, janitors, porters, farmers, maids and laundresses. - However well or ill those two hundred former students and graduates farel while in school, all are emphatic in their loyalty to a great university where men and women THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM MISS HOOLY RIFLE MOUNTS, Colleyville, Contestant for the Philadelphia Piano. from the humblest walks of life, and without money, can tarry and and get wisdom THEY ALL MAKE GOOD "So far as is known, and but fourteen of these former students and graduates are still living and doing well. The dead are eleven women and three men. Of these, three one woman and two men were graduates. Of the former students, eight are practicing physicians, holding degrees from other universities Three of holding degrees from the university of Kansas are now studying in other universities for higher degrees. Of the remaining graduates of the university, one, having obtained his degree of doctor of medicine from another school is practising medicine from another M. MRS. FANNIE FUNKHOUSE, POT L. SCOTT Contestant for the Plainbaker Piano school, is practising medicine; three bachelors of law and twenty-one bachelors of arts are teaching. Of the latter, three are college proctors, two are high school teachers and three are ward principa's. Two bachelors of arts are foreign mis- sionaries. With one exception these holding degrees from the school of pharmacy are practising their profession. One law graduate is a minister of the gospel while another is in the diplomatic service of the United States. Eleven bachelors of law and one bachelor of arts are practising law. One bachelor of arts and a pharmacist are in the civil service department of the United States. One former student is a successful manufacturer". SAGRED CONCERT The sacred concert given Sunday night at the First African Baptist church under the management of Mrs. Electro Page-Perry was in every way an overwhelming success. It far excelled all entertainments ever given in Topeka. There were estimated an attendance of 500 people; the church was packed and everyone expressed themselves as having been superbly entertained. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, cut flowers and rugs which lent a picturesque appearance to the scene The historical sketch of the hymn was read by Prof J. L. Harrison and could not have been more perfectly outlined and showed plainly the great skill and brain power of the writer. Miss Selora Olen showed excellent training as an artit on the piano. Each soloist was at his best. Mr. Lisenby's voice never seemed better. Mrs J. M. Wright was perfectly at ease and her voice full of sweetness. Prof Brock was at his best his voice was clear and sweet and full of expression. Mr. Bradshaw is always a favorite as a basso, and he, too, seemed full of sentiment. The trio by E. Page Perry, A C McCulland and Prof. Brock was a very beautiful number, well rendered and in all to say was a complete gem of the program. Miss Edith Moten never aped more angelic in her life as she pantomimed the hymn while Mrs Perry sang it hidden from view, making the program all the more beautiful and impressive. We are sorry to state here that Mrs. Wells became ill and could not as ist her sister. The singers making up the chorus were Miss A. Persley. Mesdames Dskearce, Pearl Lowin and E Page-Penny sepranus; Miss Nancy Matley and Mrs. Alice McClelland, altos; Prof Brock and Mr. S. Payne, tenors Prof. S G Watkins and Mr C. Jackson, barbos. They all showed careful training and were at their post. Ushers were Mrs. J. Jackson. Little girls won took the offering were Donna G Perry, Ldith and Myrtle Turner, Ruth Collins. Miss Nellie Ellis is the organist for the choir Misses Georgia Watkins n Mastie Sneed, accompanies Topeka is justly proud of Mine Perry as a musician and conductor, she stands second to none. The services of the First Baptist church have wonderfully impressed since she took charge of the churc and the chair under her instruction ranked as the best in the best in the city. Any churc would be glad to get her services and the First Baptist church would congratulate itself. She is an artist; singe in three other languages German, Italian and Latin, therefore it can be plainly understood why such an excellent high class program was given NUMBER 24 Last week we had the pleasure of inspecting the largest and finest country residence west of the Mississippi. It is located on the souberba of the little village of Edwardsville, Kas, nine miles west of Kansas City. This beautiful home is owned by J. G. Groves, the potato king. It stands on a beautiful knoll overlooking the valleys and surrounding country. Terraces, trees, blue grass, concrete walks and drives add to the beauty of the place. It is a twenty-two room structure built of vitrified, rolled edge, pressed Spanish patent brick, with basement and amusement hall where the children and their guests can dance, skate, hold concerts or amuse themselves at athletic sports. It is modern throughout with verandas and porticos. The large concrete basement will be used for a laundry and teating aparatus and labatory. First floor, double parlor, setting rooms, two dining rooms, reception hall, pantry and kitchen. Second floor: large, a modious bed rooms and a hall which is encircled by a winding stairway. Third floor, the amusement hall and Mr. Groves's private den where his desk, safe, telephone etc. are located. On the second floor, in Mrs. Groves's private chamber and four living rooms and also bath rooms. The first door will be finished in quarter sawn oak from the plain. 10 ing mil s of Minnesota. The mantel in one parlor will be intard with an American eagle made of holy wood and mahogany; second floor of antique oak; third floor of yellow pine. The building will be fire-proof with a tile roof. The architect and contractors are all colored men, and when completed will cost $25,000, the continent country home owned by a white or colored man west of the Mississippi Bishop A Grant visited St James Church last week and reported everything in fine condition. He entered at Washington hall on Monday evening to a crowded house. Several of the lodges turned out in a body on an escort. Its subject was "the Value of Discontent." It was the largest past lecture that the bishop has delivered since he has been connected with the Fifth Episcopal district. The clerked people of Omaha are public spirited. The bishop's first conference will be held in Helena, Montana July 22nd. He will also visit Wicheroforce this month, so he is a member of the board.

Registrar W. T Vernon was in the city one day last week making lands with his friends. He also called on the state officials who were glad to see him and learn that he will be retained under the Left administration. He is in no way alarmed over the rantings of the Southernners nor is he concerned about the dings of his enemies in Kansas or Washington. All he knows is that he is attending to his duties as laid down by the rules of the department at Washington. Registrar Vernon presented the baccalaureate sermon at Western University Sunday and will address the students at Wilberforce, O., where he will meet his wife and return to Washington. Wilberforce is Mrs. Vernon's Alma Mater Twenty-Fifth Year of Negro School Closes With Fine Record—Mayor W. M. Trague Among the Tuskegee, May 27. (Special) With the awarding of 25* diplomas and trade certificates to boys and girls, 1*5 of whom were seniors in both academic and industrial branches, Tuskegee Institute brought its twenty-eight year to a close today A vast dome of the State Capitol style, looking from the new dining hall, a turret on the new dormitory for girls, a big clock would toll the to the industrial boy and girl, a big black iron tank with a capacity of 40,000 gallons of water, a new agricultural building breaking the horizon line from the shool looking west, a little village in which new houses almost daily sprout, are some of the marks which have given new features to the whole school. With these changes have come constant increase of students until town students, day students apart, the 2,000 mark has nearly been reached. The increase is most noticeable in the indicating classes. The graduating class of this year numbers 107 against 90 of last year, and the class which is to finish in 1910 numbers now 410. Thus each year is with using an institution of boys and girls who are seeking to learn a made whereby they expect to earn a living and be of service to their race. From the very outset of the school this year has emphasized its own kind of commencement exercises The choir which so charmed the heart of Andrew Carnegie and the school land which so thrilled Belton Gilrath of Birmingham, outstripped their own good records for handling heavy pollocks for commencement music. The divinity school on Phlox Bible School, in graduating its men, placed additional stress on the importance of knowing people and conditions now rather than thousands of years ago. In a word, additional stress was placed upon practical everyday living even for ministers. Typical too were the subjects for the Boston prize. Unity contest Good Roads in Their Relation to Farm Life, "The Call of the Rural Districts" Thomas Edison" all subjects of a practical nature such as the student will have to deal with in after years. The program was divided into two parts, part one taking place in the morning, and part two in the afternoon. In the morning, Raymond D Taborn, salutatorian, discussed "Modern Methods in the Education of the Farmer"; Paul J. Jefferson discussed "The Value of Pork Production to the Southern Farmer"; Charles L. Peatson, "The Small Farmer as a Factor in Our National Life"; Belle E. Williams, "Work in Corn Shucks" and the wife of M. C. Moore, of Austin, closing the morning exercises with the alumni anniversary address. In the afternoon the program was continued with a speech by Stonewall J. Dillard on "Open Fields for the Graduates of Trade and Technical Schools"; Algie H. Caruthers, "Making a Pamphlet"; Reginald A. Morter, "Electricity as a Source of Motive Power"; Charles W. Carpenter, Valedictorian, "The Teachers' Part in the Improvement of General Health Conditions" closing the afternoon exercises with the commencement address by J. E. Asbury, of Philadelphia, Pa. The special features of the day were the music, the student illustration of his own work, letter of regret read from absent friends, and the visitors. The music for the day was as follows: The Holy City—Orchestra. The Holy City-Orchestra. O Clap Your Hands Together- Choir. Melodies, Selected--School. Negro Folk Song, "Dry Yo' Eyes" - Choir. Medley, National Alas--School. "Let's Be Laughing"- Choir. "Hall Alma Mater"- Choir and Orchestra. "Then You'll Remember Me"- Orchestra. W M. Graham, soloist. "Praise Ye the Lord, O My Soul" - Choir. 'Away to the Woods"-Choir. Melodies. Selected--School. Negro Polg Song, "Dina"-Chlor. Tuskegee Song - School. Hallchulah Chorus"-Chlor. Demonstration by Students. The student's illustration of his work while speaking was an attractive feature of the exercises. Belle Williams, in her speech, worked in corn shucks, had a class on the platform making hats, scrubbing brushes and bottoming chairs with corn shucks. Algie Caruthers, in the same way, not only talked about a pamphlet, but actually made one before his audience. Paul Jefferson in showing his hearts the profit of pork raising over cotton raising illustrated the best method of combating fire and cholera by dipping the pig. The students in the blacksmithing division stood a horse and made a tire for a wagon wheel, all showing the actual work in which they were receiving their trade certificate. Many letters of regret were sent to the principal by friends who were unable to be present at the commencement典礼. Among those road was one from 96th Low of New York, who said: Although it is impossible for me to be present this year at the anniversary exercises of the Tuskegee Institute, I do not want the day to pass without giving to you and to the officers in students of the Institute the assurance of my very warm interest in your work. The progress of the school is a source of continual pleasure to the trustees, on whose behalf I thank you to accept for yourself and to convey to your associates and to the students, our very best wishes." Mr. Low is chairman of the Board of Trustees. The obsequent address by J. H. Asbury of Philadelphia will long be remembered. He expressed his delight with Tuskegee and gave the students some wholesome advice. Concluding, he said: With you as with many, other young men and women who are being graduated from the different schools of this character, this year by far the larger number will engage in some industrial or commercial pursuit. And in these callings, you will find no color in the set of a dress, the shape of a hat, the fit of a shoe the cut of a coat, the strength of a wagon wheel, a bale of cotton, a bushel of wheat or a barrel of potatoes. You will also find that in all worldly affairs, to the men of a clean mind and healthy body there can be no satisfaction like that resulting from a day's work well done "Whatever your trade, profession or calling there is one great man of be kept before you as a source of our race whose career should ever inspiration and as an incentive. The man who has risen by his own talents and efforts from ignorance and poverty until he has become one of the most prominent figures in American life, one of the foremost orators of his time, so great an educator that representatives of two of the most powerful and enlightened nations on the globe have requested him to establish schools in their colonies. I refer to that famous son of Virginia - your own great principal—Booker T. Washington. "Be God-fearing, polite, patient and saving. "God-fearing for it is written that to fear God is the beginning of understanding. "Polite, for not only does 'a soft answer turn away wint,' but a respectful manner and obliging disposition win many friends. The boy who goes through the world with a chip on his shoulder may be able to defend the chip, but he never has time to do anything else. The girl who 'never takes nothing off nobody' usually has plenty of time to enjoy her own society and is buried by public charity. "Cheerful, for the man who is in a good humor is seldom detracted, and never commits suicide. "Patient, for this is a virtue without which no great undertaking was ever accomplished. "Saving, because of the power of wealth. "Honor your country and your flag, for this is your country and its flag is your flag. It means more to us than to others. To some it may mean that right to worship God according to the dictates of their consciences; to us it means the knowledge that there is a God. "To others it may mean a larger liberty and more perfect freedom; to us it means civilization itself." Special trains to the Tuskegee commencement exercises came in from Montgomery and Opellika, bringing throngs of visitors, white and negroes, from Georgia and Alabama. And from early morning until near noon the roads from all directions were lined with wagons and buggies bringing people from various sections of the country to attend the exercises. Among the distinguished visitors from the towns of Tuskegee, Montgomery and Opellika were: From Montgomery: Mayor W. M. Teague, Hon. E. L. Meyer, Board of Education, J. N. Metcalf, S. Schloss, D. L. Hausman, S. Gassenkelmer, Julius Loeb, N. Lobman, S. Behr, Leo Strassburger, Miss R Levy, Miss G. Steiner, B. Frank, B. L. Boykin, John Barry, Albert Abraham, Mr. Pitzpattick and Mr. A Moritz. From Auburn: L. C. Case J. H. Throcadgill, A. Hill, Ingram From Opelka: Rev. Dr Burkhead, pastor of Presbyterian Church, H. Bloomfield, H. R. Jordan J. C. Coulon, Mrs N. J. Bell, Lee Echols, Mr. and Mrs H. B. Hollis and dau- ter. Mason Tague and Mr. Hausman of Montgomery, delivered a speech The variety of the work performed here, and your efforts, we be in a most a relation to me. I have indeed been favorably impressed with the great variety, particularly the industrial features, which seem to have greater stress laid upon them more recently than in former years, from what I have been able to understand. The great masses of humanity are plodders. We may now and then see a meteor flash through the sky as a Milton, a Shakespeare, but that does not apply to our people, or the colored people. We are a mass of plodders and to help a plodder, what we must do is to help them help themselves. That after all, is about all we can do for them is to put them in a position to help themselves. When they leave your halls, if they can do and make an honest living from what they have learned here, it will help us in the future." I am not unfamiliar with this institution and with its workings. I have on previous occasions availed myself of the privilege and the pleasure of attending your commencement, and the supreme thing of all the many unobling things that have appealed to my consideration is the stress that is laid upon the gospel of work, be it industrial, be it intellectual, be it spiritual, seems to be the fundamental basis underlying this school, and believe me, work ultimately must be the underlying prin- Roland H.

Besides being the only perfect device for drying the hair quickly, it works wonderfully in that it will surely straighten early hair and gives it the natural fluffy and wavy appearance so much desired. Its regular use will increase the growth of the hair in beautiful waves. The Magic should not be judged by some of its poor limitations. Do not be deceived; get the genuine. See by this picture that you are getting a haudsome toilet article for your money. The Magic Aluminum Comb is never heated directly; it takes a moderate heat from the steel bar (which alone is heated, the comb being removed for the time). It can never burn the hair or scalp. STEEL HEATING BAR SHAMPOO DRIER MFG. CO. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. HOW TO USE THE MAGIC ALUMINUM COMB The Handsome Aluminum Comb is never heated directly. The glass, which holds in place, is released by turning the handle. Then the comb is heated (like a curling iron in a gas bottle lamp). The comb is slipped back into place, the handle turned and the Magic is ready for use. Hundreds of hairs write us that they wouldn't attempt to arrange their hair without the Magic. We positively guarantee that it will straighten their hair without injury to the hair or scalp, and, by keeping the heat free from dandruff, it increases the growth of the hair. Hair dried and straightened in 30 minutes after shampoo by using the Magic. Do not be deceived by limitations, buy the genuine, get the best-soid to fashionable ladies for yours, it always gives satisfaction. AGENTS WANTED IN EVERY TOWN But don't wait for an agent.

I had pains in my left side, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could see a marked change in my condition. When I had taken six bottles I was cured." MRS. C. C.

The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy.
