The Forum

THE FORUM Vol. 6, NO. 32. Lincoln Manual Training Workshop One of the most recent movements is the effort which is now being put forth to establish a Manual Training School or series of workshops for the colored boys and girls living in or near Springfield. The matter has been well considered during many months and plans have been carefully made. It is not claimed that an industrial course will be a panacea for all educational ills. It is simply a course which attempts to meet the demands of modern citizenship and to direct the energies of boys and girls into channels which will be of most use to them in contributing to their physical, intellectual and moral well-being. The tendency to regard manual labor as degrading must be discouraged, for as Booker T. Washington says, "No race can prosper until it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem." While a literary education is in no wise discountenanced by us, yet, it is a conceded fact that the field of industry offers a wider avenue of usefulness. All education has for its object the right development of character and the proper discipline of one's powers. We can not all be teachers, but every man can be enabled to earn a respectable living by the work of his hands and a special training in handicrafts and trades will prove of the greatest assistance in acquiring this aim. Manual Training and Domestic Science are considered a necessary part of a common school education today. One eminent divine of Chicago has said that the cause of much crime and degradation is due to men lacking a settled vocation in life and that every man, no matter what his education might be should have a trade. The same is true of our girls. A better knowledge of the trades learned in a way that such can be performed in a creditable manner, will demand better wages for the doer and in the meantime create a disposition for better morals and make a more useful citizen. Carpentry, Tailoring, Shoemaking, Cooking, Dressmaking, Millinery and such crafts are well worth the knowing. If a boy knows how to build a house, make a suit of clothes or pair of shoes and if a girl knows the art of cooking a good, digestible meal or designs and makes her own dress and hat, most certainly such an education pays. By the accomplishment of any one of these most necessary and highly essential arts, one has gained that, in which immediate employment can be found for him or herself and the opportunity to earn a respectable living is open. The standard of our people has been raised through the efforts of Booker T. Washington, but we need not go South to find the "Be ye doers and not sayers only." good resulting from the teaching of industries in schools of our own. Wilberforce University, in the State of Ohio, is seriously studying this new phase of education and ten trades are being taught today, whereas ten years ago there were only three. These are a few of the many facts that we as a race of people must awaken to and profit there by. We must try to help those who are trying to help us, and make us a people bound by one common tie. Remember in union there is strength. The Shops will be open November 1, 1909. A small fee will be charged. Tools will be furnished and pupils will have no text books to purchase. Fair credit will be given for work of all kinds, such that in a short time all will be able to earn a part of the tuition due. First members of the Board of Control: Edward W.

Secretary of War Dickinson at the Tennessee State Fair in Nashville last Wednesday made an earnest appeal to the South to respond to the efforts President Taft is making to bring about a greater racial harmony in their midst. In plain and pregnant words the vigorous Southern Secretary puts his finger upon the sore spot of the Southern situation, "the sankering virus of mob rule." That is the greatest deterrent to Southern progress. May these striking words be seed sown on good ground: "If the white people assent the right to govern, then the government should be one of fairness and justice, a government of law, and not of passion. The courts, and not mobs, should punish law-breakers. Negroes should be protected in their property rights, settled with justly and governed by the constituted authorities. Those who established the Commonwealth of Tennessee, such men as James Robertson, John Sevier and Andrew Jackson, would have spurned with indignation the very suggestion that in time of peace they did not have virtue and manhood enough to enforce the law through the courts. The cankering virus of mob rule, no matter against what evils directed, destroys all wholesome life in the body politic, and makes it a polluted wreck, swayed by passion and incapable of the ordinary administration of law." We do not subscribe, however, to the extreme interpretation Mr. Dickinson puts upon the President's Negro appointing policy. President Taft has never said that he will not appoint "Negroes to office in the South." Their right to hold office is corollary to their right to an equal ballot, upon which the President insists. However disproportionate the representation of the two races in federal appointments the Negro should have the encouragement of such recognition. President Taft in his inaugural address said, "This just policy shall be pursued." The radical and monarchial position of Secretary Dickinson of appointing no "Negroes to office in the Louth," England does not attempt even in her colonies. Nor is it for the best interests of the South and the Negro that there be established a governed and a governing race in the South. This is a government by all the people and not by one race.—New York Age. FAITH. Eye of the soul, thou emanating quick From distant great desire. And found belief Is thy swift sight into the far beyond. Leaven of push and pull that lures us on To try untutored wings in skies unknown. True substance of expectant hope, and known Felt evidence of mystic-hushed unseen. True spirit of infinite strength, 'gainst thee There are no mountain huge immobile cast For none canst stand obstruction to thy view. Or to the will that follows thy command. The u hast the lone access into he heart Of nature's beauty, where the imaged pearls Of heaven's promised gifts, word-unexpressed, Lie in reflections of eternal bliss. —LUCIAN B. WATKINS. Caesar tells us that when the Helvetians migrated they burned everything they could not take away with them, leaving nothing that would hold out an inducement to them to rdturn. So the believer must burn the bridges behind him: having tur ed his face toward Zion he must remember that the man is unwor thy who looks back, when once he has laid his hands to the plow. National Baptist Union. Parties who are to run for office next spring and fall should begin now to get right now with their constituents and repair their fences. We again ask the colored vote to organize and let us make a strong fight for the right men and a strong fight against the obnoxious men. We want it understood here and now that a man can be as blamable for sins of omission as he is for those of commission. The politician who did nothing to assist the people who helped to find him is a fool if he expects a repetition of affairs. The scepe shall depart from Judea until Shiloh come and then shall the gathering of the people be. Christianity never fails to cut its way. As early as the second century, its spread had been so rapid that the Roman authorities became alarmed The Christians had gone to the most distant colonies; they were to be found in the army and in important civil offices, and at that early period the new doctrine of Christianity rivaled the old faith of the empire, even in the capital city itself. It was soon determined to stamp out Christianity by violent measures. In Africa, in particular the propagation of the gospel was in spite of extreme violence and of bloody persecution.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Forda Hair Pomade makes stabborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange, in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff. invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry. stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. USE HOAGLAND'S OIL OF GLADNESS.
