Toft as a Nature Faker.
At SU Paul. Minn., when Secretary Taft
was waiting for a deputation of welcoming
citizens, he happened to see a little boy go
by riding on a donkey.
"That reminds me," said he, turning to
the mayor of the town, "of a ride I once
had In the Philippines. I had to get up to
a village on the slda of a mountain about
twelve miles distant, and the only animal i
could find to ride wa a diminutive burro

"Oh. I should judge that bis hesd would

Golegs Too Fashionable
. ' Edocatlonal Notee.
The annual report of Booker T. Wash
ington, principal of the Tuskpgee Normnl
and Industrial Institute, draws attention
to the development, needs and plans of
the famous college for colored people In
Alabama. Emphasis Is laid on the fart,
which cannot be repeated too often, that
Tuskcgee's great purpose Is to equip ncsro
men and women as loaders and -workers
among their own people, and that the In
stitute must not be considered rrlcrely as
sn employment agency,
A few extracts from the report follow:
Those upon tho school grounds constantly
keep before them the fact that tho school
must each year send out leaders who will
teach the negro people the dignity of labor
and who wll Impress upon them that the
world favors educstlon for a people only
as It proves that such education is lifting
the mental, moral, religious and economic
life of that people so that nil In the com
munity will see the benefits of that educa
tion.' Ths Hampton and Tuskegee Institute,
and similar schools, are, I believe,, directly
helping to furnish such leader. DXiring
the year' the Tuskegce Institute has been
in existence It ha sent out not only those
who have finished the full course of study
and won the school' diploma, but also
those who, while but partially completing
the course, are yet able to do reasonably
efficient work. Both classes number morn
than ,000 men and women, who are exert
ing an uplifting Influence in the school
room, on the farm, lir the shop. In domestic
work, In the home and a small proportion
In business and professlnal life.
The reports of Rev. R. C. Bedford, sec
retary of the board, who devotes most of
his time to visiting and Inspecting the work
of graduates and former students, verify
this statement. With few exceptions,
where these men and women are found
.they are the leaders' among the colored
people of their communities. Not only Is
thl true, but In nearly every one of th
southern states men and women from Tus
kegeo Institute have founded Institutions,
or appear as principals In Institutions that
are so large and strong that they are re
producing ths work of the parent school;
they, too, are sending out leaders.
The constant and urgent demands that
reach us from all section pf the country
for men and women trained nt the Tus
kegee Institute 1 proof of the value placed
on our Work by the. general( public. It is
a conservstive statement to say that we
cannot supply. evn one-half of the re
quests that come to us. Practically every
student who finishes any one of out courses
Is engaged before1 he graduates. This
widespread demand for men and women
who have received our training is respon
sible, In part, I fear, for the large number
of students who leave us before finishing
the full course. X'-ri' v
Tho public will ba., patient, ws trust,
while , we do the mora fundamental wtirk of
inculcating the spirit, of the dignity of
labor, and are educating leaders who will
help to work out the' more direct and per
sonal and local 'probloms... This . Is th
quickest and' surest method of meeting the
criticisms so often fbroyght against the
value of negro, education.

last year not to Increase the number of

for entrance wa placed, at 11. It has been
gradually increased so that now for next
year It will be $7.- From this source alone
during the last year, the Institution received

Since my last annual report $250,154.3
have been added to the endowment fund,

Sehool Fraternities and the Law,
"The opening of the school year." says
the. Chicago Record-Herald, "has shown
school boards In all parts of the country
making war upon tho fraternities id public
schools. In some cities much more radical
measures are being taken than have ever
been, attempted, In Chicago. In Bait Lake
City, for Instance, hlch school crlncluals
have been authorized by the board to expel
all students joining fraternities. In Minne
apolis court proceedings have already been
begun by the parents of a high school pupil
tQ prevent his expulsion.
"It Is very uncertain what the. courts will
finally hold In cases In which exDulsInn Is
the penalty for fraternity membership.
ilie rignt or private educational Institu
tions to expel on that ground has been
upheld, but with schools supported by pub
llo funds the case Is different. '
"However, where Jess radical measures
are taken by school boards, such 'meas
ures, for Instance, as have been adopted. In
Chicago forbidding fraternitymembers to
hold honors or represent the schdols on
athletio teams or In lltersrycontests, Uiere
seems no reason to doubt that the school
boards have all th disciplinary authority
they need for the purpose. One such caso
has been decided In favor of the school
board at Kansas- City, and .another, whloh
went to the supreme court of Washington,
has ueen decided In favor of the Seattle
school board. In this latter case the court
held that , the board had not Invaded the
homes of "pupils nor sought to Interfere
wtth parental ustody and control, .but that
Its statutory authority to adopt rules for
the well-being of the schools was sufficient
to Justify Its regulation against fraterni
ties.
'School boards are Interested In fraterni
ties, not for what they are but for their
Influence on school work. In deeming thl
Inuenc bad they have the almost unani
mous, support of American educators."
Is College Golaa- Too Fashionable
"This Is a very interesting time for the
colleges, and very important questions aro
presented to them," says Harper Weekly.
"It I true that ther I a fair percentage
of young men going to our higher institu
tions of learning who desire learning, who
are willing and glad to have their minds
trained, and who have the proper respect
for the intellect; but it is also true that
there are a good many more students of
the other kind than there used to be. The
proportions are wrong, and this make It
the harder for a genial boy to' bo the
scholar that he ought to be and, on the
whole, wishes tobe. It makes the at
moej4iere unpropltious for youth who have
been bred to think that about the highest
product of tho race, barring the genius, is
an educated Christian gentleman, a man
with a head, all that that implies, thst Is
stronger than his body, strong as that may
be and ought to be. Perhaps 4t has be
come too much a fashion to go to college;
perhaps a fraternity badge or an athlutle
record stands for too much socially as
much aa, in aome casts more than, an
earned degree. Teachers of schools seem
often to permit their boy to be examined
wlu-n they cannot be prepared, that they
may b sooner In the fashion. In the

There were more than applicants for
admission . to one ' New England college.
Of these only twenty-eight - got in well,
and about sixty fal)e4 ludicrously. Ap

so, Indued, do some colleges. A too preva

given by a schoolmaster to the effect that
the 'young man is a fair scholar; but a
guod athlete.' Such a credential Is not
Infrequent. Boon It will U heard from

fications of their boys for admission to
college is that they are 'husky shouter
on the bleachers,' wher most of this class
spend their four years If they have luck
and remain so long. It Is well to have a
college education; it Is essential. If our
educational system is to be dignified, that
the B. A. degree should mean thtt, while
other things have not been neglected, the
holder of the degree ha for at laaat four
years of his young life put the affairs of
his mind above the concerns of hi mus
