National Association of Teachers of the Colored Youth Convened at Atlanta Georgia. Attendance Large. . . Some of the Most Prominent Educators in the Country Were Earnest Participants in the Proceedings. The Whole Problem of Education was ExhauStively by Persons of Ripened Experience. Last week the National Association of Teachers of Negro Youth was in session at Atlanta, Georgia, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. In this organization are some of the strongest and most earnest colored teachers of the country and in addition there are a number of leading white educators who fill positions in the colored colleges of the South. The principal addresses were delivered by Principals J. A. Henry, Chattanooga, Tenn.; J. W. Bell, Hopkinsville, Ky.; B. F. Bowles, Dost St. Louis, Ill., and Dr. P. B. Guernsoy, president of Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn. The whole problem of education was considered and its application to the colored people of the It was regretted by all that the president, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, of Benedict College, who has been untiring in his efforts for the association, was serious y ill at his home and was unable to attend any of its sessions. Prof. I. E. Knox of Arkansas, one of the vice presidents, was acting president. Howard Univer gro Preside The Washington Post Suggests od for Effective Work an This Is a Condition. Not a Dealt With. Howard University Needs Negro President Badly. The Washington Post Suggests This as the Most Feasible Method for Effective Work among the Colored Citizens. This Is a Condition. Not a Theoy, and Must Be Cautiously Dealt With. The controversy at Howard University, between the colored students and the president of that institution, a distinguished white man, is naturally attracting general attention. It is a controversy which has its origin in a feeling on the part of the colored people that their interests are not fully protected. They regard the head of the institution with suspicion, and charge to his lack of sympathy every action which he takes. With this feeling existing, and it does not matter whether it is well founded or not, the work of the University is embarrassed.

It is evident that there must be some change in order to insure effective results. Under these circumstances, the time seems ripe for the suggestion that Howard University, an institution for the education of the colored youth, should be put under the presidency of a colored man. Surely in the forty years which has elapsed since slavery was abolished some colored man has grown up with the experience capacity and education to success fully conduct an institution of moderate size and modest ambitions. Why not give the colored man a chance? Here in the Cap- Perry CAFE AND REST Board by the day, week or month. Hot lunches served at all hours.

A colored man would be in sympathy with his people. He could stimulate their industry, encourage their craving after knowledge and would undoubtedly prove to the world that a Negro in an executive position is not a misfit. He would be surrounded by color ed educators, who could talk so frankly and freely with him concerning the problems which they daily encounter; and if, in the fulness of time, the graduates achieved high places for themselves in the world, the credit therefor would deservedly attach to the man under whose direction such excellence was attained. And this is said without questioning the ```markdown ``` capacity or a ministrative course of the present head of the University and utterly without reference to the complaints—most of them of a petty character, that have been made against him. It is a condition, not a theory, that confronts the institution. A colored president for a colored university is not only an appropriate idea, but it means an opportunity for some intelligent and able Negro to distinguish himself in a worthy and honorable position. We decline to believe that the race cannot supply a fit man for the position. PROGRESSIVE LINCOLN INSTITUTE. The following facts will be of interest toourreaders:—summer school enrollment 57.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TODAY. The opportunity for the man with little money is better today in the prairie states of the South west than ever before in the history of the nation. To be sure, there is not the vast open choice of land for the homesteads that existed in the '70s. The land then taken up under government laws are now prosperous farms and ranches. There is need of more hands to develop the country. In the Southwest--Indian Territory Oklahoma and Texas--are vast areas of unimproved land not yet yielding the crops of which it is capable. Practically the some thing is true of the towns. Few lines of business are adequately represented. There are openings of all sorts for WIDE AWAKE MEN. ARE YOU ONE? If you ore interested, tell us what you want, how much you have to invest, and we will gladly furnish the information. Write for a copy of our paper, "The Coming Country." It's free.
