SEDALIA, MISSOURI, SATURDAY NOV. 4. 1905 Moral and Industrial Education, the Present Need of the Negro. President Roosevelt Declares Such to Be the Present Demand from the Race. Extract from His Tuskegee Address. Within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the south have increased so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere, so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the south to help the Negro to become in the highest degree useful to himself and therefore to the community in which he lives. The south has always depended, and now depends, chiefly upon her native population for her work. Hence the work on the Tuskegee institute is a matter of the highest practical importance to both the white man and the black and well worth the support of both races alike in the south and in the north. Your 1,500 students are not only being educated in the head and heart, but also to industrial efficiency. "In the interest of humanity, of justice and self-protection every white man in America, no matter where he lives, should try to help the Negro help himself. It is in the interest and for the protection of the white man to see that the Negro is educated. It is not only the duty of the white man, but it is to his interest to see that the Negro is protected in property, in life and in all his legal KNIGHTS Supreme Chancellor S. W.

Students and Faculty Have a Good Time at the College Faculty and students of George R. Smith College observed halloween night by a social, as is their custom. The young people outdid themselves in appearing in their best, when they had gathered in the chapel., at 8 o'clock, for the evening festivities. No faces were sad; only a few appeared timid. All had come for a pleasant evening and, nothing could prevent their having it. Members of the faculty entered into the games, rights. Every time a law is broken every individual in the community has the moral tone of his life lowered. I heartily appreciate what you have done at Tuskegee and I am sure you will not grudge my saying it could not possibly have been done save for the loyal support you have received from the white people. "The colored people have many difficulties to pass thruugh, but these will be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense is pursued. What you have done in the past is an indication of what you will be able to accomplish in the future under wise leadership. Moral and industrial education is what is more needed in order that this progress may continue. The race must learn to wait and bide its time; to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of perseverance, of thrift, of self-control. The destiny of the race is chiefly in its own hands and must be worked out patiently and persistently along those lines. Remember also that the white man who can be of most use to the colored man is that coloren man's neighbor. It is the southern people themselves who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the south." OF PYTHIAS.

ELEMENTARY SCIENCE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. By Prof. A. H. Harris, Principal of the versailles School. DZAR EDITOR.—Please allow me space in your paper to write a few words on the subject of "Elementary Science in the public school." The question before the educators of today is, "How can the youth of the land be best prepared for complete living?" It is not how much Greek, Latin or German can be poured in the mind, but how can the child be so insulted while in the public school that when he leaves he may live, and not dole out a poor, weak existence—but live in the broadest, highest sense, After becoming acquainted with a man we wan to know of his works, having heard him lecture we desire to read his lecture, that we may catch the inspiration at second hand. Having seen a friend we enjoy reading a letter from him. In nature the Creator shows us hisworks. He gives us lectures to study; He sends us letters to read. And the pupil may come in touch with these lectures and letters through the study of Elementary Science; In or selection as musical director at ought about great changes for bettong the more prominent may be Quartette.

Our interests are agies trend in a mutual channel of IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. incipal of the versailles School. instructions in science may be grouped under three heads, viz: Elementary or Primary Science, consisting of the first eight grades of our public school; secondary instruction, or High school work, and superior instructions, given in our colleges and universities. Of the vast number of people in the United States today, over twenty-three millions (23.000.000) are under one of these three kinds of instructions, but very few ever reach the college or university. And we learn from Dr Harris, Commissioner of Education, that the average boy or girl never reach the secondary school. So it has been and so it will continue to be for some time to come. We are compelled to accept conditions as they are and make the best of them with the material at hand. Now, if the pupil will not or can not go up to where the most interesting, pleasant, beneficial studies are, we must take them down to him. Why should we reserve the best ```markdown ``` Hats Made and Repaired. Latest Styles in Autumn Shapes and Trimmings. Call and Inspect My Goods before You Make Your Purchases.

Why should the High school student be given all the beautiful and interesting subjects and the poor child, who never reached there, be starved while upon the "three R's"? Give a glimpse of astronomy to developing embryo, and when he becomes a full grown plant, he will read Newcomb, Holden, Philips and Young. Give the child a taste of the Gelogy of common life, end he will be interested in Wrnehell, Laconte and Dana. Let the Embryo mind see the embryo in Botany, and the matured mind will read nature. In teaching, these four questions stand up before the instructor: What? How much? When? How? The "what" before us just now is "Elementary Science in the public school." After giving some considerable attention to this subject it is clearly seen that the problem demand is the introduction of a popular course of instruction in natural science in such a way as to react beneficially not only upon the pupil's regular course, but also upon the teachdr's methods and practical skill in imparting information. In deciding upon this important accession to our school work, we ought to see and know clearly what domain of knowledge we should introduce. To render our course tangible we would say that all of our instruction in elementary science may come under two main heads viz: Physics or Natural Philosophy which shall deal with elements in the mathematical relations in its broadest sense; dealing with the inorganic as contrasted with the organic. Some of the subjects are easily discussed under this head, viz: matter, motion, force, sound, heat, light, electricity and magnetism. The second subject would be natural history, or perhaps better, Physical Geography, as the last is a broader and more comprehensive term. It would begin with geological processes, in their widest sense, and pass through or ganic life, including plant and animal. Let us have in view the "what," which must be incorporated within our science course. The next is, how much can be presented to each grade? Without much consideration we come to the conclusion that pupils of the primary grade will not comprehend what would be readily understood by those of the upper grammar grades. (continued next week.)

There are many inquires concerning the enforcement of the compulsory education law. A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school.
