It is a very prevalent and popular notion that in some way or other the Hegroe's brain is constructed differently from that of the white's, and that therefore he is not capable of the same culture and education. It ought not to be necessary in a company of well cultured people, who are supposed to think on educational movements, to spend much time in discussing a question like this. It is very easy to prove that this notion, like all other popular notions, Is entirely erroneous. Were I to undertake such proofs, I would make my research actual to the work done by tho Negro students in the leading colleges in the land.

I would make my appeal to the testimony of men and women of large and varied experience In the teaching of both youth's that, making allowance for the early defective training of many Negro youths, they show Just as much aptitude for the requirements of higher education as that of the white race. I would refer them to Negro men and women whose names we so heartily adore, whose records and noble deeds illumi-nato the pages of history, whose attainments in English literature and economics, easily places them among the best teachers and profound thinkers In the land. A Dunbar has shown them that he could write poetry; A Tanner illustrates nature in beautiful picturesque scenery; a Black Pattl, that she can sing divinely, and, a host of other less conspicuous men and women that they can achieve success in the higher walks of life. There is not an occupation calling tor a higher intellectuality but what some Negro or Negroes have not pushed their way and demonstrated themselves eligible for the position. So when they give us what we call a white man's chance, we can demean lourselves as well as any other man and thero is no barrier In the Negro brain or in the facilities with which he is endowed, in the way of the most advanced education.

The next question at issue is the kind of education ho should receive. We all agree, I trust, that every child of every ra'ie and nationality should receive a common school education. A child enters Into the world utterly Ignorant, possessing nothing else but collection of impulses and less abilities. It can only be happy as this ignorance is removed by education. It Is with great credit to many of the states that they have extended the blessings and benefits of a common school education to the blacks as well as the whites.

Every parent' should be under obligations to use all their power to enable their children to secure a common school education. It should be the duty of every parent to educate their children in such a manner as they bejleve will be best for their nature and happiness, both temporal and eternal. That ambitious mother who for the sake of her own elevation or the aggrandizement of her family, and (Without any respect to the happiness of her child, educates her daughter with all the trickery of fascination ami sensualizing her aspirations simply for the chance of negotiating for her a profitable match regardless of the character or habits of him to whom she Is' to be united for life, commits one of the most horrible crimes of education and stands condemned before God. If education Is the road that leads to culture and refinement; if education Is the elevator that carries nations from corrupt civilization to a higher plane of ambition, then my friends, we ought to be the first to grasp it if we expect to Immortalize our existence. We must educate wisely and justly.

Every good citizen should stand by those who are endeavoring to educate themselves and knowiedgelze the roce and carry their influence to every remote quarter of the land, for the benefit of the race. One might say that education does the Negro more harm than good and fits him for a life of Idleness or worse. The idea Is so clearly absurd that it is useless to argue with anyone who seriously entertains it. The fact that Tom Jones, a Negro, Who learns to write and commits forgery is no more an argument against the education of the Negro than the fact that John Smith, white, who commits the same crime, is an argument against education of the white. nut the unthinking public Is slow to learn that one swallow does not make a stream and hasty inductions and sweepiing generalizations continue to be the common forms of error.

Education does for the Negro just simply what It does for the white man. Lot us see what the Negro has done, lie has a ship of knowledge, guided by the golden lever of education, loaded with a cargo of brain And science, standing awaiting an opportunity to launch her on life's raging sea. The Negro question is engaging the attention of the entire world. It is discussed on all sides by all sorts of men and the only result they ascertain for the great problems that we have laid down Is that he has' made a record that is unprecedented in the annals of the world's history. said to this old lady, 'your Herbert Blsbing, has applied to me tor work.
