“It is fitting that the Government of the United States should assume the obligation of the establishment and maintenance of a first-class university for the education of colored menand I wish to put in this caveatthat the colored race today, all of them, would be better off if they all had university education.... Of course, the basis of education of the colored people is in the primary schools and in industrial schools.... In those schools must be introduced teachers from such university institutions as this.” PeopleIfsShouldFirstsStatesGovernmentWould BeTodaySchoolCoursesWishUnitedRaceEducationClassUnited StatesTeacherBasesInstitutionsAssumingUniversityObligationAfrican AmericanPrimariesEstablishmentBetter OffFittingMaintenanceFirst ClassPrimary SchoolUniversity Education Author:William Howard Taft
“A few ideas seem to be agreed upon. Help none but those who help themselves. Educate only at schools which provide in some form for industrial education. These two points should be insisted upon. Let the normal instruction be that men must earn their own living, and that by the labor of their hands as far as may be. This is the gospel of salvation for the colored man. Let the labor not be servile, but in manly occupations like that of the carpenter, the farmer, and the blacksmith.” MenShouldMayTwoIdeasHelpingHandsSeemsSchoolFormEducationNormalLaborSalvationAfrican AmericanOccupationFarmersEducateInstructionManlyCarpenterBlacksmiths Author:Rutherford B.

“Peace is no mere matter of men fighting or not fighting. Peace, to have meaning for many who have known only suffering in both peace and war, must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health, and education, as well as freedom and human dignity - a steadily better life.
