EDUCATING THE NORTH.
In yesterday's paper wo <iuotod from a
Jiotable address whlch was dellvered on
S'onday evenl\tr ln Cooper Unlon, Now
York, by the Rev. Percy Stlckney Grant,
;ector of the Church of tho Ascenslon,
an "Kvolutlon of tho Ncgro Questlon."
Mr. Grant, flrst of nll, dlsmlssPd the sub
1ect of umnlgnmntlon wlth the nssertlon
that "naturo porninnontly bnrs tho unlon
of the whltes nnd blncks by wcnkenlnor
the foeundlty of the chlli! of such' a
unlon, and that the nttompt to amalga
mato the two rnces by marrlngo would
resull In raclnl suicldo through barren
liess.
lle nlso contended that the white race
ls the superlor race mi'd must oxerclso a
parental enre over the black rnrp. and
must hold the black raco ln a sort of
nubsorviency, even to tho extont of gov?
ernment oontrol. Ifo seemed to ngroc
wlth the Rev. Dr. Porkburst, of New
York, thnt slnvcry was not a bad thing.
but a good thing for the nogro, ns it
gave hlm much needed tralnlng, nnd he
declnrod that that tralnlng should be
contlnued, not of tho mlnd alone, but of
the hnnd nnd whole nature of man as
well, toward honesty, truth and thrlft.
'No Southern man could have stated tho
case more clenrly and forcefully nnd cor
rcctly, from the South's polnt of vlew,
nnd wo nccopt this ns another evldoneo
of the fnct that tho people of tho North
nre rapldly eomlng to n cloaror nnd n
surer understandlng: of the rrine problem.
We aro gratlfied to know that tho Rev.
Mr. Grant ls to-day a gnest of tho clty
of Richmond, havlng come .here with Slr.
Ogden's party to nttend the Conference
for Southern Educatlon. AVe nrt glad
:o have so dlstingulshed and so 1'itolll
gent a Northerper with us, and we" take
?6Ccaslon~to remark tha*. this conference
thould be ealled a Conference for North?
ern Educatlon. The conference has done
a groat deal toward awfikenfiig an Inter?
est in the general subject of educatlon In
the South, but we bellevo that its great
est accompllshment up to this tlino has
beon tho educatlon ond cnllghtenment of
tho Northern men who have attended
from year to year. They havo learned
f great deal about the raco mufstln'nj lio
rause they have come hlther In a splrlt of
liivestigatlon. and havo niet the questlon
jaco to face. They could not havo learned
?s they hrive learned by studylng tho
questlon from nfar. But havlng come Into
the black belt, and havlng sren the negro
as ho ls. nnd havlng conferrcid with tha
Boutherners, wlio have llved all ihelr
llves wlth negroes, Ihey have learned the
tacts. They have put away thelr fnncles
:mr ogden on democracy,
'. That was a flne Democratlc nddrcss
whlch Slr. Robert C. Ogden dellvered last
evenlng before the Conference for Edu?
catlon. Reduced to terms. Mr. Ogd-'n's

"And ho ls so hnndsome.

Wo had rcnchnd the lodge by this time.
and I wns shown a tidy llttln room leart

ln whlch I assured Slr George that Carr
would bo pcrfectly comfortable. much to

though I could see thnt he was evldently
annoyed. at not belng ablo to put hlm

Tn the nfternoon. townrd n o'elnek,

"You dld; you know you dld," sho said.
evldently ready to ery wlth vexntlon.
"I wns Just golng to drlnk, nnd you had

"Hush, Aurella, I heg," expoatitlnted
Charles. "Aunt SInry and I aro becomlng

Slr,?The near npproacli of "Tho Confer?

orgsmlzatlon has sprung Into Ilfe, whoso
very nnturo and splrlt flt It Mr taklng
up thla mnttor, siftlng It to its bottom,
and if found to embody tho country's nnd
agu's neod, to press It an hnrd and hlgh
Into auccesa na posslble. The plnn grew
out of conaldorlng the lltteat monuments
for our grent deud. As clinlrnian of a
commlttoo tn Investlgnte thls subject, I
found "11 over tho South n tendency to
build cos.ly monuments of brass. Iron or
miublo, a.iiid the crylng noed of the chil
dren of our heroes nnd thoir comrades.
Wliile tho nuiHs of thoso chlldron were
threatoncd with dcgrndntlon, aqualor and
Blnvety by tho Inveslon of tho armies of
sjnewd nnd henrtlcaa men of greod, who,
by virtuo of their money and gunerior
teohnteal educntlon, could gather to and

llko gnlley alnves to tho tnaks of devel

the ntroclty in Itii inclplency nnd lt stlrred
my gouj into bltlcr und neroo rescntinent
?n. rescntinent that inudo all wlthin me

swlftcat and almpleat ln Its uctlon pos

ened the degrndntlon and liumillntion of

cfBtora' monuments to the gnlllng, grlnd
Ing. dwarllng. witherlng slavery U Ujk
hcartiess hordes of "brlck-kltlers' ano
fastenlng grlndlng shames and shacklsst,
And I falrly came to hate tho mockery
of forclng the statuos of our noble doad
to look helplessly down on thelr ohlldron'i
dcpradfttlon and doom, and I crled aloud
bltterly nnd long for memorlnla that
cculd and jwould dofy tho dogrndatlon nnd
redeom tho doomed llttlo ones, ns these

nnd atono could not. And th? questlon
kept comlng: Ilow cnn we glvo the chll?

flght, to tho honor of our nncestral name,
tho freedom of thelr own and thelr off
sprlng's souls, the checklng of these
dnmons of greed nnd tho glory of humnn
Ity? Then this plan roso up out of tho
confuslon nnd darkness, nnd ntood before
me clear nnd strong and hopcftil ond pos
slblo. Let us bulld memoiinl schools ln
st.end of dumb, helpleaa statucs nnd mon
uments, Lot us bulld one auch school In

thcpo Just ns full and wIro nnd complete
ns It Is posslblo to do wlth the resources
nltnlnable, nnd add to thelr fltness from

Found every such school so ns to meet
tho nceds and develop tho resourcps ex
Istlng ln lts rcglon. nnd I would ever kcep
nn army of sclentlflc scottts necklng out
nnd rrporting tho posRlhllltle* of thnt

Into hlghest fnrniR of buccobr tho thlngs
Ond put nbout them, whlch nro crylng for
hlghnr oso nnd nobler Borvlce. These
scboolR should havo ns many depnrtments,
tinde? nnd occupatlons ns the onmmunlly
could r'lllze or tho Btudents nll. Then I
would no through tho entlre schools of

over koep full tho memorlal school wlth
tha flttest posslblo mnterlnl, to trnln for

Then for rvery congresslonal dlslrtct I
would bulld a atlll htghoi- nnd more per?
fect school, one able to tnko tho best
