Under the caption, "A school of power and usefulness," the Colored American Magazine for July contains a very strong editorial on Dr. Allen and his work at Lincoln Institute. We make mention of facts to show what can be by the earnest teacher or so who is willing to spend weeks of the summer vaca hard study under con From this article we make the following extracts: "Dr. Benjamin Franklin Allen within the short space of three years has turned Lincoln Institute into a channel of usefulness. He was chosen to take charge of the institution because it was thought that he could put life into every department, revive the spirit which surrounded it's earlier years and so direct its influence as to make of it something more than a City School of narrow aims and parochial sympathy." "The present reputation and condition of the institution are sufficient witnesses in behalf of the timeliness and wisdom of the section." "More such educators are needed among Negroes. Lincoln has now a brilliant future. Those in every section who are watching the drift of affairs, have confidence that Dr. Allen will make of the school a mighty agency for the solution of the problem in the West." Lincoln Institute's Summer School is meeting with unparalleled success. More schoolars than ever before have been enrolled, still they come. A note Professor Perry, recently elected Principal of a school in Guthrie, Oklahoma, at a salary of One Hundred Dollars per month, Miss Lucas of Lawrence, Kansas, and Miss Pearson of St Joseph. Among the various states represented in this body of students (or teachers) we find Missouri, Illinois, Georgia, Kansas, the Territories, etc. These teachers seem fully alive to the opportunities furnished them by the grand old state of Missouri and very willingly do they make the sacrifices incident to the small salaries and short terms of Rural Districts in order to obtain instruction under specialists in various departments of work. Some are studying simply to the end of increasing their stock of knowledge; some, to raise the grade of the certificate; some, for fine-years certificates; others, for life certificates or state diplomas.

We make mention of there facts to show what can be done by the earnest teacher or student who is willing to spend seven weeks of the summer vacation in hard study under competent guidance. Among the visitors of last week, we note members of the Mite Missionary Society, in session at the A.M.E. Church of Jefferson City, in Mrs. J. Frank Mc Donald of Kansas City, Mrs. M. A. Mc Claim of St. Louis, Mrs. J. M Bean of Washington, Mrs J. W. Daniel of Jefferson; also Professor J. C. Coleman, Principal of the Columbia Schools, who spent several hours visiting his Alma mater and the Summer School. To the Class in Literature he gave a very interesting address and it was highly appreciated. Professor Coleman's chief aim however, was a conference with Dr. Allen relatives to the students whom he desires to place in the institution in September; and he returned much pleased with results. Every things points to the largest attendance in the history of the school and all will do well to complete arrangement possible as Principal Coleman has done. The President will gladly do all in his power for the poor but deserving student. Twentysix students last year were thus rendered self supporting in the Boarding Department; and with the erection of the new Dormitory for Girls it is probable that a still larger number of boys and girls can find employment, not to mention the various other Departments of the school life in which bslip is required. The white citizens of Jefferson City are very loyal to the institution, and annually grant board and lodging to a large number of worthy students in return for such service as can be rendered before and after school, while in cases of exceptionally efficient service, or extra hours, the student receives sufficient wages to keep himself in, clothing, books, it.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TO-DAY. You are seeking to better your conditions. Perhaps we can help you. In the Southwest the opportunity for the man of little means is probably better to-day than ever before in the history of the natian. There are vast areas of unimproved land not yielding the crops of which it is capable, and in the cities and towns of few lines of business are adequately represented. There are openings of various sorts for farmers artisan and inventors. Besides, the oil and gas fields of Kansas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma offer exceptional opportunities for investment and for the location of factories. Why not locate in a progressive locality and grow up with the country? A comparison of the census figures readily proves the wonderful strides the Southwest is making in population and wealth. THE OPPORTUNITY IS NOW While the prices of land are reasonable and investment opportunities are not over-done. Why not investigate conditions and satisfy yourself of the truthfulness of this?
