The question is often asked
'What kind of education does the
negro race need?" For the proKent,
the masses should have industrial,
mechanical and literary
training. Those who wish to bocome
teachers, preachers, physicians
and lawyers should have
the higher or classical education,
hut as we are a laboring people
and must live by the sweat of our
brow, let as by all means give
the masses industrial education,
the foundation of wealth and progress.
Fvery negro school should
have an industrial department.

I .a I tall while 1 wa i II I lost on,
I heard a colored preacher make
this statement : long to see
the day when the girls and
women will leave the kitidien and
rook pots ol the white people."
A while man, who was silling hy
inv side, said to mi? : Wo Ju?re|
in I{i>stoii are trying to jjjot our
krir 1 h to go to the kitchen to wash
and iron, hut I see the negroes
are trying to get. theirs from it."
We are inclined to he too aristocratic,

are too poor. Work, work, work,
