The faculty of the Colored high

ments. Here Is the record of the
men and women, who are now en
gaged In the work in that lnstitutl
tlon and whose work seems to apeak
for itself. We wish to speak of the
record record of Prof. G. F. Porter.
Prof. Porter is a graduate of the
Atlanta University, and taught for
eight years in the Kansas City High
schools, and after years of experience
in teaching, he specializes in the
University of Chicago in Latin and
also takes a post course in Ann Arbor
further preparing himself to do high
school work and Is occupying the
chair of Latin in the Colored high
school of Dallas. The purpose of
having qualified teachers in our high
school is apparent to alt Here we
expect the best prepared Instructors
and that they should not only be
prepared from an educational view
point but men and women or check
ered exeperience, and fully compet
ent in every way.
Prof. Marcellua Neal is a graduate
of the University of Indiana, a uni
versity that Is a double standard.
similar to our Texas University. He
Is the Dean of Physics and Chemis
try in the high school, and a scholar
of acknowledged ability. He is also
the author a work known as tne
'Appeal to the American People."
Prof. John W. Rice, is a Dallas
young man, and he too, is graduate
of the university of Atlanta, holding
a degree of A. B., and is an instruc
tor in the high school Mr. Rice was
and adjunct professor in the sciences
while In college, Physics being his
hobbr. Prof. J. W. Wilson is an
alumnus of the Flsk -University, and

number of years, and was the first

high school, and making it the equal
of any Negro high school in the

a, number of years.
Miss M. C. Jones is a graduate of

M. Roblnett Is the Instructor In
Snanlsh, and he has set edge on the
high school in Spanish, so that' un
less one can speak Spanish, when
he meets a bevy of high school girls
he would take them from the lan
guage that they speak and the con
versation carried on among them,
he would take from them for Moores
from Western Spain. Mr. Roblnett
has taken the time to prepare in
the modern languages and Is an ac

Mrs. A. H. Dyson, the accomplished

English In our high school. Nature
has endowed Mrs. .Dyson wlih that
oower that is so essential in every
teacher, that cordiality that plays In
her countenance, giving and Inspira

teacher Is to enter the school room

conquered England, and was famous
for one awful trait that he never
smiled. 'Lt nn smile some time
even if we think It will lower our
dignity.
But we wish also to speak of two

Sadie Watnon Is a graduate of Prairie

In that Institution, did the unusual

as a nrst class laundress ana was
accorded a certificate for proficiency,
and now she can establish a plant

no doubt will be able In the near

young people to diversify their use

Rev. Emory Smith said in parts:
"Shall we have two standards of
efficiency, one for the Colored
and one for the French, or one for
mankind In general? Shall the stand
ard be lowered or shall It be equally
high for all? Shall our colleges
rank as high as the rank of the
highest or shall we be satisfied with
the quasy and makeshift standard
was the question presented by the
Rev. Emory Smitth of Washington
who lectured at the Bethel A. M. E.
church Tuesday evening to a large
and appreciative audience. Rev,
Smith spoke of race loyalty to the
government giving a graphic lllus-
tralon of the sacrifice that the Ne
gro made In the war for freedom,
not only from Boston high to Carazal
low. but Chateau Theiry on the Wes
tern front, where the Negro did his
whole duty as a man for his country.
. The lecturer spoke of the racial
prejudices in the North in the leading
colleges, stressing the fact" that al
though there were differences, if the
similarity were the same.' He gave
many personal experiences and re
lated the fact that in the north
many or ' all the higher Institutions
of learning were opened to the black
boys and girls and yet very availed
themselves of the great opportunities
which awaited them.
It should be the purpose of the
race to make an effort to have lead
ing national institution that would
be equal to Columbia and other col
leges and universities. He stressed
Howard University as such a col
lege to be staudarlzed and to have
behind it the national government
and that the black stand tortther
the country over and make it the
one place for commercial training,
for training In military tactlces, ror
training in Journalism, and kindred
subjects. He urged to make this
a united movement such that the
entire country would bring a pres
sure on the congress that this body
would appropriate a million and a
half dollars for the maintenance of
such an Institution, and that the
general government and during the
war, although there was a deflclet In
certain funds had appropriated eigh
teen million dollars for the Indian
and only one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars for Howard as the
National institution for our people
and not only that, but this lnstlu
tion Is opened to all.
The Rev. Mr. Smith made a strong
plea for race unity, that as they
had been loyal to the uovernment,
now he urged they should be loyal
to each other as a race. Not less
loyal to the great povemment, but
more loyal to each other. The speak
er was frequently aptlauded. Dr.
R. T. Hamilton was the master of
ceremonies and introduced the speak
er giving a brief history of the How
ard University. A r.ceptlon was
given in honor of the distinguished
visitor at the residence of Madam
Julia C. Frazler, the acting principal
of our high school. Covers were
