CHICAGO SCHEMES will the of NEGRO EDUC ATIOX. THE REV. THOMAS DIXON TELLS SOME PLAIN TRUTHS WHICH ARE EQUALLY APPLICABLE TO THE EDUCATION OF WHITE BOYS. Where the World's Fair visitor suffer, in many instances, is through medium of "club schemes" and hotel comiuodation associations," which springing up as thick as flies. Somo the advertisements sent out by these fake" combinations are readily seen through by those who are in any way ac quainted with this city, but there will be good many people in Chicago this sum mer who know nothing whatever about the town. Not long ago one of the numerous hotel associations" sent out circulars giving a picture of the Chamber of Com merce as its abiding place, in which every patron could have an outside room with plenty of air and light. Another asso ciation printed a cut of Marshall Field's wholesale house, which, the circulars said, had just been erected for the accommo dation of those of the association's patrons who wanted to visit the Fair; a third asso ciation sent out a pioture of the poor, old, aecrepic government building, that is apidly falling to pieces, and so on. The pictures of big warehouses and business blocks are being used right along in these circulars, wnue in more than one in stance locations are given where no build ings whatever exist. This is not the worst of it, however. The promoters of many of these hotel schemes have gone to the trouble to write out recommendations for their hotels and sign the names of tueh distinguished personages as United States Senator Shelby M.Cullom, ex-Governor Joseph W. Filer, and others, inoluding leading railroad managers East and West. Some of thosn whose names were thus used have found out the "fake," aud have written to Chicago denouncing such methods, while others are yet unconsci ous of it, and their names continue to appear as endorsing schemes of which they have absolutely no knowledge. Another hotel scheme is one with "lots of money in it," and is easily worked. The plan is to charge each "subscriber," 85, in return for which he is sent a state ment or pamphlet, showing him where to get a room and board while in Chicago and the price he will be compelled to pay for it. There are many hotel, boarding house and club associations here which are reputable enough, and which will be of great assistance to visitors in securing them cheap and good accommodations, and it is because these reputable associa tions have done so well that these "fake" schemes have come to the front. Of course these latter will do nothing after they get the $5 and the "subscriber" can whistle for all he gets out of it, for nine times out of ten the list of rooms and boarding places sent him is worthless. Intending visitors to the Fair will have to look out for such things as these an fight shy of schemes of which they know nothing. As a rule, the man who sends money to Chicago to strangers will not see any of it again or get any good out of it. Chicago Letter. A recent article in the Iftrald by Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., on the subject of negro education is well worth reading. It will apply equally as well to the educa tion of white children He asks "Is the negro being truly educated in the South?" and then answered the question. He says it is a fact that to day the South is T and personality add to the sum total of the wealth and progress of the world. We have to day among sixty millions oi people in this country at least one million men who would make as good a President of the United States as either Mr. Cleve land or Mr. Harrison. Why should we seek by a process of education to add more to this host who are already more than qualified for such a position, and who have uo earthly chance of ever attaining it? If all the world were educated to-day with the accent of education on the head only, I fear that anarchy would be the result. Certainly there would be a read- making more sacrifices for the education of the negro than many Northern States justmcnt of some sort in the social world ncluding the wealthiest and most cul- that would make the dry bones rattle. tured, are making for their people. The I am not saying that this would uot be for article continues: the best. I am siuiolv inauiring if the "I am sorry to say it, but I firmly be- present method of head ideal only in ed heve it is a fact, that the education of the ucation is not destroying the foundations negro in the South to-day through our common schools is more or less of a fail ure and more or less of a curse. The ac cent is on the wrong syllable. It is the perpetuation of the old Southern ideal of the classical education rather than the meeting of the needs of the new century ana tne new me. as id the character of much of our education for the common people here the accent is exclusively on the head. Education is made the grinding of the intellectual axe with which we are to hew our way through lite, scalping the weaker ones who stand in our way. The clodhopper taught to despise the plough, the smith his anvil, the carpenter his tools. The consequence is the South is not pro ducing competent negro farmers, smiths and carpenters. The idea which the young student get into his hoad is that he has to "rise," to "get on," and to leave those behind who cannot get on. Now, the question is, Does not the age demand a system that shall better meet the requirement of the whole communi- ty? True education is the training of the whole man in such a way that the result is the consistent and harmonious expres sion of a'l his faculties, so that in him the whole community is blessed. Educa tion, therefore, must be threefold for the head, the hand and the heart. These three forces control civilization, nd the well being of society depends on the proper balancing of these powers. They are not being symmetrically devel oped in the education of the negro. The accent is on tho head certainly the hardest part of his anatomy. The purely intellectual prevails; and yet it can be shown by a law of mathematics as certain as fate that nine hundred and ninety-nine children out of every thousand born into this world, white or black, must make their bread by the work of their hands. WHAT THE SCHOOLS TEACH. Are we not teaching these thousands of children all the same thing, in the The Spleen not the ill humor you feel like venting upon some offender, but the spleen neat the stomach, which sup plies the proper amount of blood to the stomach during digestion. But both are affected by a torpid liver.

If so, those who love the present social order had better look to it. Education is put down as the great cure-all of the evils the world is heir to. Education will do wonders; but we must understand wh:u education is when we make these won wide claims. If you were to transplau a million negroes from the industries c l the South and turn them into classi' scholars with a distate for industrial work the result will be to plunge the South into a hell of anarchy. Take a million men in the North out of the industries of the nation and put them' through the same process, turning them out with a distaste for work, and the results would be practically the same. In my humble judgment the accent of education in the South, even its primary branches, is lack ing fundamentally in the industrial prin ciple. True education is the education of the whole man, in such a way that the result is the consistent and harmoni ous expression of all his faculties, to the end that he may attain for himself the highest things, and that in him the whole community might be blessed. If the negro is given this education time will solve the rest. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. I Toko w.

Mrs. Sanders had been granted a di vorce from her husband, the manager of the Sanders Transfer company, after a long trial, and the court was hearing the argument of counsel on the disposition of the only child, a boy three years old. Wearied with long attendance upon court and the excitement of the date, Mrs. Sanders fainted. While she was being carried out of the crowded court room the husband seized the i hild and started for the door. He was intercepted by brother of Mrs. Sanders, and the bailil not being present, Judge Reed ran down und grappled with the maddened father who tought vigorously, hut he was no match for the doughty judge who choked him down into a chair, delivered the child to its grandmother and resumed h seat.
