SEDALIA, MISSOURI, SATURDAY AUG. 5, 1905 President Lowe of Geo, R. Smith College made a recent trip in behalf of the College, visiting St. Louis, Farmington, Fredrickton Ironon, St. Charles and Bridgeton. At all these points he was heartwarmed by pastors and people meeting a number of old students and looking several new ones for the coming year. Elsewhere there was interest and enthusiasm for the College, and new assurance of confidence and support. Always in answer to inquiries the answer was given that our people are improving in morality, intelligence, and prosperity, and that the genuine man and woman are accorded courteous treatment and respect without regards to color.

It is with regret that we note new organizations among us, whose object is to oppose the "Washington Idea." Tousitseems a little foolish for some to let envy and jealousy take possession of their common sense. What good will ultimately accrue to the race, if the "Washington Idea" is overthrown? Which element will reach the masses of our people and do them the most good? Booker Washington's ideas meet the needs of our people, however much, some may speak to the contrary. His leading ideas are industrial education for all, who desire it. Other men have different ideas from him, but we do not hear him organizing to oppose them. "Every man to his work" is his motto. A better and more sensible one could not have been taken as a life leader. More time must be spent in opposition to our external foes and less energy must be devoted to the distraction of our racial strength. Be as Washington, when assailed, stick to your own job and "saw wood." FOURTH OF AUGUST VISITORS ARE WELCOME. A hearty welcome is extended to our visitors to-day.

Smith College this week. Owing to pressing business we were unable to glance at them thru our last weeks issue. Particular attention should be paid to the rapid growth of these institutions, not only in the increase of students attendance but also the marvelous influence they are wielding for the betterment of the race. Lincoln Institute with 450 students, under the instruction of competent teachers and Geo. R. Smith College with her 150 students enthusiastically taught by Christian guidance, form an army of 600 young men and women whose influence will be perceptibly felt thru out the state and nation. Both of these Institutions era strengthening their Faculties and facilities for the coming year's work. And, the improvement being made will add greatly to the effectiveness of the work to be done. Over at Macon, the Western Baptist College has made excavations for a very much needed new building. It is sincerely hoped that the liberally disposed Baptist, here and else where will lend a hand towards raising funds for the completion of the New Western Baptist College building.

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.

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 Clain 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 Depart- ments of the school life in which bslp 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.
