MAN OF PRINCELY VIRTUES.iSuccinct Account of the Busy and Uso--1 ful Life of the Secretary of the

Tuskegee Institute—Educated at Wi-ley University and Baptized With theGrace of Modesty.

By Dr. ROBERT E. JONES.New Orleans.—The church has been

Influenced by the commercial spirit ofthe day to require results for funds oreffort invested. This is legitimate“Does It Pay?” Is no mean question.The returns may not always be inactual dollars and cents, but theremust be adequate returns to Justify

the expenditures. To this requirementthere can be no objection.

If this principle were applied to thework of the Freedmen's Aid societyIt would have no reason to be ashamedof the men and women who have beensent forth with benediction of theschools fostered by the society. Itwould be a long list were we to writedown the names of all who have madegood. We name but one at this time.Ilis picture appears with this shortarticle—the Hon. Emmett J. Scott.

He Is a product of Wiley university.

Marshall. Tex. He Is proud of Wileyuniversity, and Wiley university isproud of him. A thoroughly capablebut retiring, much loved individual Ishe. baptized with the grace of modesty.

,Few men of any race have writtenthe history that is his in a like periodof years.

He is a man capable of long hours ofhard work under great pressure. Heis the executive secretary of the Tus-kegee institute. Those who know hiswork beat appreciate him most. He is

the corresponding secretary of the Na-tional Negro Business league. In thisorganization his influence is linked na-tion wide with that of his great chief.Dr. Booker T. Washington.

Mr. Scott is a student of world ques-tions ami is therefore appropriatelysecretary of the international confer-ence on the Negro. These three i>osi-tlons. requiring initiative, tact, re-sourcefulness and high intelligence,represent but a part of the activities ofthis man. who in the couilug day willbo reckoned as one of the most usefulmen of his race.

The Freedmen’s Aid society holdsMr. Scott up as one of the possibilitiesof the race. Does the work of ourschools pay? If Wiley university had•done nothing more than have made posjsiblo the career of Emmett J. Scottthat alone would have Justified its exdstence nud the cost of maintenance,j But Texas has more sons to offer for[Christian service. Who knows but thatTexas has another prince iu waiting:for a newer day? In order to prepare♦the coming prince Wiley must bo kept(open. And for the reasons that Wileymust be kept open, for the very samereason must all of our Freedmou's Aidschools be kept open.

EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS.Ml Classes Benefit by Carnegie Library

at Biddle University.By GEORGE F. KING.

Charlotte. N. C.—There is n Keen in-terest manifested by the Afro-Ameri-cans In tills city for pood literature.This unusual mental activity is a con-spicuous evidence of the trend of therace here to become inf.uenced by greatChristian agencies that have moldedother progressive races. There arehundreds of public libraries through-

out tho southland, but Afro-Ameri-cans are denied the use of them forsuch knowledge ns they might wish toobtain through book lore.

One can readily appreciate existingconditions that have impeded the Afro-American's material advancement inthe realm of good literature. Theclass of books that will iuspire ouryouth is uot so easily procured in manysections of the country, and becauseof such there Is a mental degenerationIn too many instances, and a poor conoeption of ennobling Ideals is also theresult

Facts and Statistics Covering WholeField of Journalistic Effort AmongAfro- Americans In the United StatesBoon to Come From the Press.

Nashville, Tenn.—Through the co-operative influence of the representa-tives of the various publications andperiod i''als in the ranks of the NationalNegro Press association since the elec-tion of officers at the Chicago meetinglast August several forward stepshave been taken “for the highest de-velopment of Negro Journalism.”

One of the splendid moves, whichis a distinct accomplishment in the in-terest of the Press association, is thework of the corresponding secretary inthe compilation of a newspaper direc-

itory." This book, which is now in thehands of the printer, will be issued

, from the press about June 15., Mr. Henry Allen Boyd of thisI city has notified the president, Mr.

R. W Thompson of Washington, andthe chairman of the executive commit-tee. Mr. N. B. Dodson, that proofs ofthe two pages of the book havebeen read, corrected and approved.

The LK)ok gives, as far as could beascertained, the name of every news-paper. magazine or publication issuedIn, for or by the race, with the respec-

tive state und city in which it is pub-j llshed The name of the editor and

T, date of establishment and1 circulation are also given as well asthe number of papers published In eachstate. In addition to this, the authorhas prepared an exceptionally wellprepare list of printers’ supply houses,which furnish paper, ink. type, type-setting machinery, engravers and U-th graphers.

There is also an accurate list of thebanks, bankers and concerns doing abanking business. This is regarded by

, the compiler and author as vital, inthat it will give the local newspapersan opportunity to know where the

; financial institutions of the race are: located.

Secretary Boyd declares that already( applications have come in for 300 cop-* ies of the directory. The first books

issued will be sent to the officers, mem-bers ,of the executive committee and.members of the Tress association. Thenext lot to the business men and bank-ers in their order named. The publi-cation is to be limited, but the offer tothe members of the Tress associationwii; entail only the actual expense of
