CHICAGO SCHEMES

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

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-

of the negro than many Northern States justmcnt of some sort in the social world

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

of the present social regime. 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.

quelled a small size riot by whipping the
defendant, Oscar Sanders.
Mrs. Sanders had been granted a di

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
