IpBATURDAF, MAY 28, 1887
« The Vicksburg Southrons and
wempbis Zouaves did not like tneir
IJbdtions in the parade, being
Hlaced immediately in rear of the
Hblored troops* The V. S. and M (
Si, should have stayed at home.
IL The Grand National Drill was
Sprmally opened in Washington on
■fonday last with great eclat. On
■Wednesday the troops were re
viewed by the President of the
Elnited States. The parade was
Shagnificent, the colored troops at
gßracting great attention by their
Soldierly bearing.
EARLY BIRDS
■ We learn that some of the would-
Be politicians are now busy fixing
nip a slate lor the next Republican
■National Convention. It strikes
Mie that this is a little premature —
Sod that these gentlemen may be
fl lonnting tbo chickens before they
| ire hatched. We think when the
I proper time comes the Republicans
i»f the District will have something
■ O say about who shall represent
| hem in that convention.
I Mb. T. Thomas Fortune, editor
if the New York Freeman who is a
ghtrong friend of President Cleve-
Hand, in the last issue of his paper,
■ipeiking of the vacancy on the
■Supreme Court Bench caused by
■the death of Judge Woods has the
■following to say concerning the
r natter wnigh ought to have consid-
Srable weight with the administra
glion:
g “Os course BOoe eminent Demo
fcrat will receive this great honor,
Bind the papers are actively engaged
Bin naming men who are mentioned
| for the place.
I Among the gentlemen “men-
Ihrbned’' none impresses us so favor
-1 ably as the name of cx-Governor
; Iloadley of Ohio, n#w of New
J York, ope of the best lawyers in
Übe country, and one of the finest
’of gentlemen. We would like to
Ifsee Governor Hoadly raised to the
ftSupreme Court Bench. As Gov
ernor of Ohio he placed himself on
I record ua favoring the same meas
i ore of constitutional justice and
I, equal rights for colored men that
[ white men enjoy, and if be
I were raised to the Supreme Court
Bench the colored people of the
‘Country could rest assured that he
, would construe questions coming
r before that court affecting them
' from the bfoadest and healthiest
standpoint. Besides he is equally
as sound on questions affecting the
( people at large. We know of no
man better qualified to fill the high
dignity, and his elevation would be
■ gratifying to us as a guarantee that
we bad one other sound friend
than Mr. Justice Harlan on the
t Bench of the Court of last resort’

THE SLATER FUND.
In 1882 John F- Slater, E-q.,
conveyed to several gentlemen in
trust the sum of $1,000,000 for the
education of the freedmen in the
South. Mr. Slater, who died in
1884, was a manufacturer and a
philanthropist, born at Slaterville,
R. 1., in 1815. He early became
interested in educational matters,
contributing liberally toward the
establishment of schools, though
his crowning work was his action
to enable the Southern Negroes to
rise superior to their nauiral coiidi
tions. Dr. A. G. Haygo d was ap
pointed general agent of the trus
tees, and results have proved that a
more jud.cious choice could not
have been made. Dr. Haygood spent
nearly a year traveling through lhe
South examining conditions bear
ing upon this branch of educational
work, the result of his findings
being the adoption of a resolution
to especially favor with appropria
tions those institutions which give
instruction in trades or other man
ual occupations that will enable
colored youths to earn a living and
become useful citizens.
Under this provision 116,250 was
disbursed the first year, $17,607 in
1884, $36,764 in 1885, $40,000 in
1886, and $45,000 has been appro
priated for this year. This money
has been put out in Alabama, Geor
gia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Virginia. The deteiinitiation to util
ize this fund chit fly in aid of
schools that added manual training
to the regular course of instruction
was readied only after a careful
and thorough investigation into the
condition of the freedmen, their
needs, and the field of usefulness
open io them, but it was not intend*-
e l to discriminate against other
de e ring institutions in favoring
them. Wherever the work of edu
cating the Negro merits the service
help irom the Sluter fund may be
asked for with confidence. Indeed,
the trustees went a step further
and gave Dr. Haygood liberty to
devote a specific sum annually in
aid of suitable young men who
wished to prepare themselves for
the practice of medicine among
their people. This was a highly
important prov • on, as none of the
three schools tur tho training of
coiored doctors in the South has the
full resources which the work re
quires.
lhe experiments mode during
the past four years have demoustru
ted to the trustees the great value
of manual training in connection
with mental discipline, and from
preferring schools so equipped the
general agent is now of the opinion
that appropriations should be limit
e<! to schools that support an
industrial department. This ques
tion of teaching the youg some
practical trade or vocation is rapid
ly becoming an important and lead
ing c msideration with educationists
in this and other countries.
The importance of qualifying
young men and women to become
self-supporting on quitting school
has impressed itself upon the minds
of thinkers, and in several European
countries technical instituticns are
rising beside the colleges or becom
ing a part of tli»‘iu, while in
America the idea is fast being
given a practical turn. It is due
in no small degree to the wise en
ergy of Dr. Haygood that the
Slater fund is being utilized to the t
double education of the young, and
the incentive to the adoption of (
industrial teaching among the col
ored schools will no doubt act as a ;
spur to the educationists in charge i
of schools for white children, who ’
will at least not care to be out- -
stripped by the colored race in the .
industrial more than the intellectu- ;
al field.
Skilled labor will be the great
demand of the future. The ad van- 1
tage will all lie with the youths who
enter shops, factories, etc., with a <
practical knowledge of and a
trained fitness for the work in hand.
Every year tends to elevate skilled
labor, and in the industrial field the
survival of the fittest will mean the
triumph of the skilled workman.
Educators and parents owe it to
pupils and children to ground them
thoroughly in practical and techni
cal knowledge, The education of
the brain is uot enough; the bands
must be trained. But this matter
of industrial education needs to be
regulated to the individual in such
away that children will be given
definite education in a particular
trade or occupation, rather than a
vague understanding of the princi
ples of many craf is. What the ad
ministrators of the Slater fund are
doing for the colored youths of the
South should be done by educators
in all sections of the country foi
youths in general. The labor of the
next generation will largely be per
formed by educated men.— Intel
