Oberlin College, in Oberlin, Ohio, has turned out quite a number of colored graduates who have done good work for humanity. Among them is Mrs. A. J. Cooper, who is connected with the High School at Washington, D.C. I wish to speak more especially of her book, "A Voice From the South," by a black woman of the South. It is just what Mrs. Mossell says--"One of the finest contributions yet made toward the solution of the Negro problem." One gets in reading her book a sense of her strong intellectual and spiritual power. As an educated woman we have none better, white or colored. I have had, for some time, a picture of Mrs. Cooper in my illustrated lecture on "Race Progress," and while I was in England her face created quite an interest among the cultured people who attended the lectures. Mrs. N. F. Mossell is a native of Philadelphia, Penna. She is an ex-pupil of the Robert Vaux Grammar School. Since her sixteenth year she has been a constant contributor to the _Christian Recorder_, _Standard Echo_, and other journals at a later date. As editor of the Women's Departments of the _New York Age_ and the _Indianapolis World_, Mrs. Mossell became widely known. Becoming the wife of Dr. N. F. Mossell, during the year 1880, she assisted him for two years in the publication of the _Alumni Magazine_. For seven years she worked on three of the most influential dailies in Philadelphia, _The Press_, _Times_, and _Inquirer_. [Illustration: MRS. N. F. MOSSELL AND HER DAUGHTERS.] Some of her best literary efforts have appeared in _A. M. E. Review_, _A. M. E. Zion Review_, _Our Women and Children_, and _Ringswood's Magazine_. In the past year Mrs. Mossell has been the editor of the "Open Court," an ably-edited department of the _Woman's Era_. "The Work of The Afro-American Woman," her first attempt at authorship, was given an exceptionally kindly reception. An edition of 1,000 copies was soon exhausted. Many of the finest comments ever received by any race author fell to the happy lot of this lady. Such journals as the _New York Independent_, _Chicago Inter-Ocean_ and _Springfield Republican_ spoke in high terms of her publication. A talented young woman, and a noteworthy representative of the educated, cultured and refined class of colored women in the United States to-day, is Miss Alice Ruth Moore, of New Orleans, La. [Illustration: MISS ALICE RUTH MOORE.] As a gifted author, Miss Moore is entitled to unusual consideration, while her versatility in other directions proves that she is a worthy type of progressive womanhood.
