Broaatft #" Hd is president* of the l>oard c trustees of Richmond Colleg and financial agent of that insti tution. For twenty years h was pastor of the largest Baptis Church in Richmond. He is wise and consecrated man, an any deliverance from him ?n an subject carries with it gret weight with all the laymen an ministers of his denominatior He is the man of the highes character and in fullest sympath with the best educational d< velopment of his people and se< tion. He has been a frequer contributor to Northern period cals, and has been so careful i the expression of his opinion upo questions of large moment thi he has been regarded as ultn f M conservative by some of thos who have been disposed to tal a somewhat narrow and moi sectional view of the issues und< discussion. So much as to the State's "di gruntled preacher." What < the "palpable and absurd ui truth," the "slander," whic the State charges against D Hatcher? It says that D Hatcher alleges that the Co ference for Education in tl South "makes donations to tl negro schools instead of to tl whites," or, as the charge is r peated, that Dr. Hatcher "d clares over his own signatur that the Conference for Educ tion in the South is supportii [V - gifts of money neg schools, * while refusing to su port white schools." In his article in the Manufa turers' Record, and, as far as \ know, anywhere else, Dr Hatch made no such statement or su gestion. In his article he w discussing "the Ogden Mo\ tiJk * n & Son, Bankers, I uth Carolina, | EREST ON | ites of Deposit. | 1 rnent"' as a phbse of the interest n in* the North in the Southern * negro, and the rapturous reception given that movement in some Southern quarters as a rete grettable fact. He very correctly noted the point; and in excellent spirit, too, that, without full development of the real purpose of the Ogden Movepient, to which has included some white to. schools, negro schools in the se South had derived most benefit /n from it; hia good-natured and Dn figurative language being "the te main displays, the gala days, the >le swelling jubilees in some way ii- have gone to the negro schools," ? to which, Dr. Hatcher said, "the South makes no objection." he The State knows that a part ia be never equal to the whole, how>1 ever intimately it may be condK cemed with the whole, and it is n- as blind as a bat mentally if ii ve does nofcknow that the Conferrl: ence for Education in the South t8 is but one part,; though an effect d- tive part; or the Ogden Moveal ment, and that criticism of the e- Ogden Movement as a wholetn by of any part of it, is not answera r, She wb of- Jhi^corfsidered^ id The Conference for Education a ip the South, known first as the Capon Springs Conference for re nhricfion PJ" ?? f " - ~ - ?x^viucciLion in tne South, ir ; was suggested by a New Eng>r lander, who at its first meetly J- i opened the way for a revi the subje'ct of nationaJ ai(\ *?.r s education in the So^th, which i- had been effectively put to sleep as Blairism fourteen or fifteen e years before. Upon this Conferd ence was impacted the Ogden & movement in the special interest of negro education which had e been going on for several years i- previously. The impact dep veloped twin children of the i soutii, the e Board and the General Education i- Board. The Southern Education e Board, with Southerners as its it employees, and used to give the a movement stnndinar in f Via Srm+Vi d is or was, if it is still in existy ence, the campaign agent in the it South of the Conference for d Education in the South, which 1. itself had become the principal it advertiser in the South of the y Ogden movement. The General 3- Education Board, with about 2- $100,000 a year for ten years at it its disposal, the gift of Mr. John i- D. Rockefeller, proposed to ben come in New York a "clearing >n house for educational philanit thropy." The movement as it i- expanded in 1901-1902 was given ?e in the Southern press, which cer:e tainly did not invent the sugges*e tion, an importance, especially sr as to the great amounts of money for Southern schools likely to s- flow from it, which its equipment :>f did not justify. While such ima pressions enhanced the adverih tisement of it through its Conr. ference for Education in the r. South, the schools which were n- given the widest advertisement le through it in the North were ne schools for negroes in which the le dominant elements in the movee ment had been interested and e-1 were still interested, and the e, most notable result of such ads' vertisement in the way of outlg right donation was the gift of ro Andrew Carnegie to Tuskegee p- Institute, with special care for Booker T. Washington, amountic ing to $600,000. ve There have been made in coiner cidence with the movemenl g- smaller personal gifts, qualified as or unqualified, to white institue tions, and the General Educatior Board as a board has made cei | tain promotive gifts with th understanding that the amount should be matched or had bee: matched locally, and, in the cas of assisting the common school in certain picked locations, wit the understanding that white and blacks are to bo considered equally in the use of the join funds. And through all th negro has hovered, brought t the front or kept in the bacjjl grouitd as occasion demanded*- '*. These statements are a cori densation from "official" an ' 'authoritative'* utterances o the movement and of public rec ords of fact. Elaboration of ther and of their full significance ha i been made again and again, an is readily accessible.

The opposition has been maintained in spite of the knowledge that many earnest and enthuai: ratcic TawiCnei iiei s, Tuiiy"Sir^e tc tne educational situation in the South long1 before the Ogder movement adroitly undertook tc dominate it, have been led tc give support to the movemen without questioning its certair ends. But the opposition has already seen the fruition of it! hope that truth-seeking publicitj would bring these Southerner! gradually to a realization of fact! and to a cautious and conserva tive attitude toward the move ment and would restrict the in fluence of the movement.

"Martha Washington" candy was served, and everything was patriotic. The napkins bore the United States flag and the tea cups and platters were real "old blue." The tea was handled by two charming little girls dressed in red, blue and white. They were Susie McGowan, daughter of Patrick McGowan, and Virginia Triana, daughter of the Mexican ambassador.

Well, I believe it is generally admitted that most of our great men were poor scribes. See? I have thrown away that sorry pen and am using a better one. I notice in my last article the name of my dictionary is badly spoiled. "Brids," should be Ihope the readers of the "Times" may never forget the lessons I have endeavored to impress upon their minds regarding the importance of deep breathing and drinking,, plentiful of pure incl how we cat." Tt is impossibfe .> :o lay down as a general rule as ;o what and how much should be iaten: as what would injure and probably kill some people, might fatten others. Reason and comnon sense should be the guide in mating as in other matters. Never eat more thnn can ho rh_ gested, nor any kind that does not agree with the stomach. I shall confine myself principally to the irianner of eating. Our Creator has made ample provision for masticating, digesting * and assimilation of the food ye eat. The selinary glands secrete the proper amount and kind of fluid necessary to prepare the food to be readily digested in the stomach, whence it is carried, through the proper channels, to all parts of the system, giving new blood, new life inproocofi _ - , ...vj ..< V/A VUUVV4 strength and vitality to the body, if (and a big if it is too) the food is properly masticated. Probably nine-tenths of the human family violate nature's law just at this point. Dear reader mark well what I am saying now! 1 am not writing for mere pastime, but for the good I hope to accomplish for suffering humanity. Every mouthful of food should be chewed to a creamy pulp. On obedience to this law greatly depends the health of body and mind and consequent happiness of life. Those who ravenously gulp down a dozen dishes of crude unmasticated food, drinking glass after glass of water to hasten the heterogenous mass through the stomach if possible, must sooner or later (generally sooner) suffer the penalty for such a crime, violation of God's law is criminal. Disease, pain, suffering of body and mind, often premature death, is the apparent visible penaltv for violation | of the laws of health. What other | punishment awaits the criminal hereafter, is known only to our Creator. Dr. Eastlake of Japan, informs us that "The army biscuit consists of a cake one-fourth rice and three-fourths wheat, flavored with bosh sugar and salt. It is placed in water and allowed to swell up before eating. We need not be astonished at the wonderful endurance of Japs. They eat to live. C. B. Boko.
