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.

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’ BAPTISTS AT BRUNSWICK | The Convention of Georgia Bap tists convened at Brunswick on Wednesday the ISth instant and n remained in session uearlv a week, i The mayor of the city 'addtessed the body and offered the delegates ’ the hospitality of the city as it was ; his duty to do so being the repre ( tentative of the whole people, and stating that* the time had come when this country must feel that . every man ie a man in f ae t a g well 1 as*in name—the delegates being pleased with his remarks. The session of the Convention : was very pleasant and considerable 1 work was done. The following officers were elected for the ensuing ( year: Rev. John Bryant, president; ( Rev. U. L.

The Centen nial Celebration will commence im mediately after the Convention adjourns and it ie expected to lasi two weeks. It is estimated that there will be 50,000 baptists in the city on the occasion 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 Ocean. Jk The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the State of Georgia.
