School Commissioner J. S. Davis
sallied forth on his tour of inspection
among the colored schools of Albany
Friday morning,-carrying with him
a Herald reporter.
The inspection was one of satisfac
tion to. the Commissioner and to the
reporter. Of satisfaction to the Com
missioner,because itshowed to him that,
.the work, of which he feels in a great
measure the responsibility, was keep
ing up the commendable tone whloh
he desires for it. Of personal satis
faction to the reporter, because a visit
to the sohool-rooms, and an observa
tion of the actual workings of the
schools, gave him a more definite and
a clearer idea of what the 8tate and
counties are doing to educate the col
ored man and make of him a law-
abiding citizen.
Within the city limits of Albany
there are seven colored free schools,
w.ith an enrollment, in round num
bers, of 700 and an average attendance
of about 600. There are employed to
instruct these ohildron eleven oolored
teachers, whose salaries will average
*82 or $88 per month. Considerable
care Is exercised In the employment ol
the teachers that none but persons
competent to instruct in atl the Eng
lish branches be given charge of the
sohools, and that none but teachers
who will give proper time and atten
tion to moral instruction be placed at
their hend.
All the common English brannhcB
are taught. Special attention is given
to reading, arithmetic, writing and
spelling. The children are becoming
more interested in grammar; rote
singing is taught m some of the
schools; geography has its proper
place, and the study of physiology lias
been taken up and is gaining ground.
The schools are opened by devotional
exerotses in the morning, and in all
the schools visited yesterday there
was an air of interest in the work, a
thoughtfulness and comprehension of
what was being done that was quite
surprising to the Herald reporter.
For five months in the Year is this
instruction provided by the State.
A great difficulty that teachers have
to oontend with is irregular attend
ance and consequent loss of .interest,
Farents, as a rule, do not sufficiently
recognize the Importance of the oppor
tunities thus afforded their ohildren
It has been the observation of those
who have had an intimate acquaint
ance with the work of the colored
schools, that colored children are apt
in their studies to a certain 'point, but
beyond that they seem to stick. There
does not seem to be the mental capacity
to digest the heavier questions and
broader thonghts that come with the
more advanced education. That fact
seems to be explained by a conclusion
reached by scientists, who have exper
imented to determine the truth—
namely, that the average African
brain has less of the gray working
material in it than the average Cau
casian. The average Caucasian brain
weighs 46 ounces, while the average
Afrioan brain weighs but 42 ounces.
This faot explains the other.
But, fortunately, a man’s moral capa
bilities do not depend on the size of
bis brain. As Dr. Hawthorne said in
the Baptist convention on Monday,
“God has made a -distinction between
white men and colored people—-a phy st
eal distinction. We are not responsible
for that. God made the distlnotion
and we simply recognize it, but we are
not kept from doing oilr duty to these
oolored people.’’
That the white people have a duty
toward the colored race is fully recog
nized, and no olass of people recognize
the duty more, or spring more quickly
to meet its obligations, than the white
» people among whom they live.
Herein lies the settlement of the
race question. The negro can be edu-
oated to a certain extent, and through
his education be can be made a moral,
law-abiding citizen. Social equality
.and political supremacy are not with
in his reach—wherever he lived, in the
North, South, East or West, the white
people among whom he lives could
. never submit to it, and the more sensi
ble, thoughtful colored man does not
-desire it.
But in one line there are immense
possibilities before the darkey. That
is in the civilizing and educating of
the millions of his brethren across the
seas.
That is work for the colored man
alone, and the dny is not far distant
when love for his people will guide
young American colored men back to
the land of his 'fathers to give them
the benefit of iiislong association with
an educated race of people.
The day will come when > blessings
from millions of African throats will
ascend to the God who rules the desti
nies of men and nations, and who has
taken his own way of bringing good to
a race of people.
“One of the greatest meat'merchants
of the world, Philip D. Armour, has
publioly said what only a minority of
the publio know, but what educated
people have long realized, viz., that
the highest priced outs of a carcass are
not the best,” writes David A. Curtis
in the new magazine, Food. Not a few
will say that a porterhouse, or a top
sirloin steak, and a porterhouse or a
prime rib roast are the only outs good
enough to serve to their families. The
reason w|ijr these outs are so muoh
more expensive than others ia not be
cause they are better. They are not.
It is because they are most in demand.
The reason they are most in demand is
because they are preferred for roast
ing, broiling and frying. And where
the ignoranoe comes in is in the very
widespread belief among American
housekeepers that roasting, broiling
and frying are the best ways of oook-
ing beef.
“This is not a phillipic against fry
ing. A steak properly fried may be
as good as a broiled one. The point to
be established is that beef properly
stewed is better cooked than either,
and far better than n roast. More
over, the cheaper cuts make better
stews and are richer in food value.
And a stew, properly made, pleases
the palate as well and serves the
stomach better than a roast or broil.”

Those broad, flat hats, made of some
cotton material and starched stiff, so
much in favor with young ladies at
present, are. the ooolest, the most
coquettish-looking headgear that fash
ion has over designed. With a tiny
ruffle or plaiting around the edge, set
a little back on the head to allow
glimpses of a softly curling bang, and

Imparts an air of careless disregard of
conventionality that puts ordinary;
fashionable appearanoe completely in
the shade. Auy style that savors of
the time of our great-great-grand
mothers has a look of “ye olden time"
about it that is so refreshing. But, be
ware! No one but an artistic woman
should branoh out into originality of

During the warm summer season,
some persons are put to mucli trouble
on account of profuse perspiring. The
following Is an excellent preparation
for removing the .smell of perspiration
on the hands, and if used once or twice
a day regularly will be found to grad

glycerine at the moment of using, and
with the mixture riib the hands

washed in soft water and thoroughly
dried.

“Boys will be boys.”
Thus It is that many people excuse
the many wild pranks of young Amer
ica. Well, allowances should be made
for the working off of an excess of an
imnt spirits.
' But, it 1b equally true that girls
will be.glrls. Can you not make nl
lowanoe for a little wildness of spirit
in both sexes? Many a young girl has
had serious reflections cast upon her
character because of the unwilling
ness of a oritioal publio to overlook a
few indisoreet actions on her part.
Indescretions caused by nothing in
tile world but an overflow of spirits, a
desire, thnt comes with yn'uthp and
health and freedom from care, to do
something—something unusual and
novel, out of the usual run.

Col. I,. A. Jordan and Messrs. Oliver
Hays, of Amerlous, and F. M. Heath,
of Lee county, were In the city Satur
day to close up a trade by which Col.
Jordan sold to Hays ft Heath 1,600
acres of heavily timbered land which
lies along and between the Southwest
ern railroad and Kinohafoonee creek,
about five miles above Albany.
The tract lies north of the Forrester
pjaoe, and takes in what is known as
the lower Bond's Mill site on the
Kinohafoonee.
It'is perhaps one of the prettiest
bodies of timbered land in Southwest
Georgia. It is high “pine ridge” laud,
and heavily timbered.
The price paid for tho land was $10
an aore for 600 aores, and $6 an aore for
1,000 aores,in cash.
WHAT THE PURCHASE MEANS.
Messrs, Hays ft Heath propose to
put up a big saw mill on the land for
tile purpose uf working up the timber.
Mr. Hays, who has a large variety
works in Amerlous, will move it down
to this newly acquired territory and
will build him a fine residence there
and make it his permanent home. This
nssures the establishment of another
extensive enterprise within five miles
of Albnny., The Herald congratu
lates Messrs. Hays ft Heath upon the
deal they have made, and wishes them
the success which their enterprise
merits.

Col. C. B. Wooten received 1 a letter

Mr. Stevens’s letter waa so very

one of these formal letters that “will

Arcadia Isa blessing and a boon to
the young people of Albany. Without
it the coining summer would be wholly
without a general, gathering place.
Tlie pupils of the dancing classes have
fully appreciated the attractions that
Arcadia presents.
Tile children go quite wild over a
ride on the street car, with a cool,
shady: spacious room for merry-mak
ing in at the end of the ride. And to
the young people it makes the sun
seem less hot and the air less sultry
ali day through, to anticipate a few
hours spent at Arcadia in the evening.
The floor is one of the best you ever
danced upon, and when you are tired
of tripping the light fantastic, there
is the broad gallery that is swept by
every breeze that blows and which
brings you within hearing of- the
solemn swellings of the pines by whlcl)
Arcadia is surrounded. , You are in a
