SHEP- ARID'S MONUMENTAL WORK AT DURHAM, Heart of Washington Being Absorbed by Negro Tenants Who Gradually Displace Whites on Some of Best Streets. Dental Association Meets. Brief Notes. Thompson's National News Bureau. Washington, December 8—The nation's capital always has a warm welcome awaiting Dr. James E. Shepard, frequently honored this city with his presence. This remarkable young man is the founder and president of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., one of the most promising educational institutions of which the country can boast. It sprang up almost in a single night apparently, and at a bound has reached proportions that cause the conservative leaders of thought and morals to gasp with astonishment. While its physical construction has been pushed with unprecedented rapidity, the basis of idea of a mammoth National Religious Training School has long abided in the fertile brain of Dr. Shepard, and he is able to now make a sometime dream a living reality because of his eloquent and convincing presentation to substantial forces of the crying need of such an agency of light and leading in the heart of the Southland. It has grown because it was born with a divine mission, and is living up to the opportunities that have been placed within its grasp. Somebody has said "An institution is verified by the fact that in establishing this broad-gauged institution, Dr. Shepard has built for himself a monument that will endure, and typify for the inspiration of the thousands who follow the lofty ideals, practical teachings and concrete achievements embodied in his own successful career. It is a genuine pleasure to all Washingtonians to meet Dr. Shepard as he travels northward and southward in the interest of his magnificent work for the spiritual and industrial development of the race. Dr. Shepard was once a prominent office-holder here and was a capable one, but such a routine field was too narrow for the satisfaction of his expansive mind, and he took up a congenial service as special agent for the International Sunday School Association, making an extended tour of Europe and Africa to study problems of human elevation and enlightenment. He conceived the idea that the true solution of the race problem, lay, after all in religious education, plus the academic and industrial branches. Out of this conviction sprang the imposing and impressive National Religious Training School at Durham, dedicated to the task of producing religious leaders who will carry the torch of thrift, industry and morality into the darkest recesses of Dixieland.

Banquet The the Dixieland with the queet to the Bar in coniversas mas Dr. Mr. M. journaling froth by how himself. Dr. Shepard, with rare organizing capacity, has brought to his alds some of the strongest men and women of the South. Judge Jeter C. Pritchard is chairman of the Board of Trustees; Gen. Julian S. Carr is Treasurer; John Merrick is Vice-Chairman. Bishop Robert Strange, of the Eastern North Carolina diocese of the Episcopal church; Archdeacon W. George Avant, of the same theological district; N. B. Broughton., of Raleigh; Rev. Dr. J. C. Massce, of Chattanooga; Former Governor Robert B. Glenn, of North Carolina, are among the high-grade southerners who are actively identified with the forward movements of this institution, giving of their time and means to its advancement. In January, Judge Pritchard and Ex-Governor Glenn will make a tour of the North to present the aims of the school and to secure much-needed financial resources. Dr. Shepard recently addressed an immense audience at Paterson, N. J., speaking under the patronage of the Y. M. C. A. A comprehensive campaign, covering the entire school year, is being inaugurated, and an effort will be made to erect additional buildings for the enlargement of the facilities of the institution. The National Religious Training school embraces thirty-two acres of fine land, a part of the estate of the famous Duke family, and on it are rented ter ty have ten ye THE ADVOCATE. now five large buildings in which the various departments of the school are located. The administration building, with the executive offices and auditorium, the home of the Vice-President of the school, Prof. C. G. O'Kelley, and the beautiful dining hall are notable features of the pictureque campus. The total value of the plant as it stands is not less than $75,000. During the visit of the "Washington Party" a month ago, Dr. Booker T. Washington, than whom the school has no more devoted friend, saw the institution for the first time, and marvelled that a school with such excellent appointments and built on lines of permanence should have been developed in so short a time. He was gratified beyond measure with the work Dr. Shepard is doing and pledged his heartiest support. There are one hundred and twenty-seven students and a faculty of nine teachers, all of them intensely loyal to the policy of the school and to its energetic president. They are as follows: Prof. F. A. Clark, Philadelphia, Music; Miss Pearl G. Reild, Oswego, N. Y., English; Miss Alice Jackson, history; Prof. J. L. Pennell, mathematics and science; Prof. T. E. Smith, Lynchburg, Va., commercial department; Prof. John H. Moore, dean, theology and religious training; Miss Bennie Mallory, Charleston, W. Va., domestic science; Mrs. George W. Adams, Durham, N. C., millinery; Mrs. Charlotte S. Rhone, Newbern, N. C., matron; Mrs. C. G. O'Kelley, matron of dining hall. The students come from far and wide, halling chiefly from Massachusetts, Virginia, Arkansas, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. The Summer Chatauqua is a permanent feature of the school work and the plan for next summer will be even more elaborate than that carried on with such satisfactory results last July. The pleasing announcement is made that the National Religious Training School has secured the services of that influential and always progressive young man, Prof. H. E. Hagans, who will act as financial agent. Dr. Shepard is fortunate in this acquisition, for Prof. Hagans is not only one of the ablest educators in the country, but he is one of the North Carolina's most substantial business men. He is a farmer who is not ashamed of the fact, and raises some of the finest products known to the State. He is making friends for the school by the score and already the subscription list is showing signs of healthful growth. Dr. Shepard's massive institution of moral and industrial training is being bracketed with Tuskegee as the two greatest centers of racial uplift in the South and united as they are in a common cause, the outcome cannot be other than profitable to all concerned. Banquet in Honor of Editor Murphy. The newspaper men and others of the District are in hearty accord with the proposition to tender a banquet to Editor John H. Murphy, of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger in commemoration of his 70th anniversary, which occurs on Christmas Day. For twenty years or more Mr. Murphy has been a force in the journalistic life of the race, and rising from the humblest ranks, he has by honesty and courage, won for himself a place of power and influence in state and nation. He has made the Afro-American Ledger strong in both religious and secular circles, and it never fails to speak out in the meeting, whether its convictions are popular or not at the time. Mr. Murphy has a wife and nine children. Each of his children, besides having high school training, is the master of a trade. This Itself is enough to entitle Mr. Murphy to a dinner fit for a king. The details are being worked out by Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times, Franklin F. Johnson, of the Afro-American Ledger, Councilman Harry S. Cummings, Grand Chancellor George A. Watty and other prominent citizens of Baltimore. Washington will be largely represented on the subscription list and will have her choicest oratory on tap. The date will probably be Monday evening, December 26th. Negroes Absorbing The Heart of Washington. Rapidly the thrifty Negroes are taking possession of the heart of Washington's most desirable residential section. The Northwest quarter of the city, from M street to far above the Boundary of Florida Avenue and from North Capitol to 17th street, is being bought up or rented by colored people of the better type. Houses that could not have been occupied by any Negro ten years ago are now being gladly CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, DEC. 8, 1910. offered to colored tenants, and streets inaccessible a decade ago to the race, are now almost completely filled by Negroes. The whites are moving out of the suburbs and newer section, leaving some of the finest comfortable homes to Negroes in the regions most convenient to the store and traction lines. Certain portions of 13th street, T street, Wallach Place, S street and others equally desirable, where no Negroes lived a few years ago, are owned by Negroes and Portner Place, 13th street on the east side above W, and the Cameron Apartment House at 10th and Vermont Avenue, are open to colored tenants. U street is being given over to colored business enterprises, and it is regarded as only a question of time when the Oswego and Exeter Apartment Houses will be let to colored people, to be followed later by the adjoining Bryn Mawr and Ilkley. The statement that the influx of Negroes tends to depreciate the value of property is disputed by a well-informed real estate man. While the property in a colored neighborhood may not sell readily to whites for residential use, it is a good investment, for colored people are compelled to pay from $2.00 to $5.00 more per month than whites, and there is a difference of several hundred dollars on the selling price, in favor of the whites. Good property in a colored neighborhood is never idle; consequently at advanced rentals, it is a gilt-edged investment. The color-line is drawn here with practically as much rigidity as in any southern community, but the quick-witted Negroes are embarking in business for themselves and turning race discrimination into profit by reaching out after the dollars the white institutions disdain to accept on equal terms. Elks Hold "Lodge of Sorrow." Columbia Lodge, No. 85, Independent Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World held memorial services Sunday evening at the New Howard Theater. Attorney R. R. Horner spoke on "The Relation of Fraternal Organizations as It Affects the Race," and James E. Mills., Grand Exalted Ruler of one branch of the Elks, delivered the eulogy. Similar services were held at the Auditorium on 8th street, S. E., by the Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, with Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deggls, and Cornelius R. Richardson as the orators of the occasion. The attendance at both meetings was large. The Council of Upper Classmen The Council of Upper Classmen. Prof. W. H. H. Hart, of the Howard Law School, was the principal speaker last Friday evening at the special platform meeting in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, under the auspices of the Council of Upper Classmen of Howard University. Prof. Hart's theme was "The Law Eternal," and he did full justice to his great theme, pointing out the divine origin and eternal character of law and the order and system that control all nature throughout the Universe. President W. P. Thirkeld followed with a brief, but happy speech. Excellent musical numbers were furnished by Miss Perle Alexander, Miss Eva B. Dykes and Miss M. Jones. James C. Waters, the painstaking president of the Council of Upper Classmen, presided with dignity, and delivered an informing address on "Upper Classmenism," making clear the high and serious purpose of the organization—that it had a broad, constructive policy of race development, as well as its social side. A series of instructive lectures has been arranged, of which due announcement will be made. The Upper Classmen has now a membership of about two hundred, due to the earnest and capable leadership of President Waters. The Robert T. Freeman Dental Association. The Robert T. Freeman, Detal Association, named in honor of the first colored man to practice dentistry in the District, gave its annual dinner last Saturday night at Martin's Northwest Cafe, and the occasion was a highly enjoyable one. Dr. D. A. Ferguson, of Richmond, was the guest of honor, and Former President C. Sumner Wormley distinguished himself as a witty and affable toastmaster. In his admirably address, Dr. Ferguson described a recent operation by him for empennage of the antrum. He was elected an honorary vice-president by a unanimous vote of the organization. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows. President, Dr C. A. Gray; vice-president, Dr C. C. Fry; recording secretary, Dr. George Butcher; corresponding secretary, Dr S. A. Fraser; treasurer, Dr A. J. Gwathney; librarian, Dr W. E. (CONTINUE ON PAGE THREE) Knotty Problems TO BE SOLVED BY REPUBLICANS IN TENNESSEE IN NEXT TWO YEARS. Colored Men Split Dissatisfied With Manner in Which They Have Been Treated in The Past, And Demand to be Shown Before Aligning Themselves With Either Party. Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 5—Special. Can the Republican party in Tennessee gather the strength to carry the state for the ticket two years hence? Can the factions of Negro voters be united before that time so that the party may have the full strength of the Negro voters for the Republican ticket in 1912? These notty questions confront the party as it now stands in the state. Hooper, a Republican, has been elected for governor, but his hands are tied. The legislature is Democratic. If the governor, after his inauguration, sticks to his platform of "clivic righteousness", he may be able to have some legislation enacted for the good of the state and strengthen the confidence of the people, in his character as a public officer. Then in 1912 he may be able to put Tennessee wholly into the Republican ranks. But there are breakers ahead for Hooper and his administration, if he falls off his "clivic righteousness" horse or lets the horse fall down. The political unit of power in Tennessee just now, is composed of voters, "white and black", who are simply tired of ring politics and ring politicians whether in the Republican or Democratic rank. They want "good government" both in state and national politics without regard to the special interests of any man or set of men. They mean to have it. They are going to fight for it in spite of anything or anybody. They do not mean to let up until the forces of evil and organized vice and corruption in the state have been completely conquered. The influence of the political "sop" is dead. The thoughtful and influential voters of both races in the State of Tennessee have united on one common platform, and from now on they mean to have law and order and the prosperity of all men, instead of corruption, graft, greed and selfishness by any one man or set of men. Past alliances and leaders are now dead issues. The moral forces are successfully at work. Party lines mean nothing to them. The Democrat and Republican who buys or sells a vote have been put in the same class. The forces of good government will not be satisfied until intelligence and integrity control the reins of government in Tennessee. Dr. Ira T. Landrith, president of Belmont College in Nashville has been the center of the new force in Tennessee politics. He is not a politician in the abused sense of the term. He is a powerful political force and personality in shaping the future destiny of the commonwealth. He is an American in the broadest sense of the word. He believes that intelligence and integrity should be the ruling forces in political activity. Dr. Landrith emphasized this belief very vigorously in his Thanksgiving address to a large audience at Fisk University. He characterized some politicians as political flicks and took the position that all good ministers should be in politics because moral questions are always involved and it is the duty of every good preacher to keep a line of division between right and wrong well defined, in both state and national politics. He urged his hearers to see to it that the members of the race are on the right side on every one of the great moral questions now before the nation. He felt very strongly that the colored people should prove their value as good citizens now at a time when the best white people of America are engaged in cleaning up the land with the firm intention of keeping it clean. "Unless the members of your race do get on the right side of the great moral questions now before the American people, there is grave danger ahead for the entire race" said Dr. Landrith. The viewpoints of Dr. Landrith have been ably seconded by Bishop H. B. Parks and the leading ministers of the A. M. E. connection in all the conferences, held during the year. They have had no understand- ing and possibly do not know each other personally. Bishop Parks has simply introduced a new spirit in his charge and is developing the thought of high standards of morality among the colored people, as vigorously as Dr. Landrith has been doing it among the people of the opposite race. The policy of Bishop Parks is certain to affect the future political activity of the colored people of the state of Tennessee. Another source of difficulty in the future for the Republican party in the state, is the growing dissatisfaction of the younger generation of Negro voters with the past management of party affairs in Tennessee. Signs of unrest are already manifesting themselves, and the men of the later generation seem to be getting together. They are going to choose their own political "boss" if they are to have any at all. They are not going to be the political asset of any man chosen by the administration. They feel that they have been denied opportunities. They have been voting for the candidates of the party and have reaped no benefits. They seem to think that if the party affairs had been handled better by Negro leaders in the past they would find it easier to get openings in the government service throughout the state. As it is, there seems to be a policy to discourage young men who aspire in any great numbers to get into the service in cities where they ought to have had many opportunities before this time. These men are not going to follow the Independent Republican Leaders and will not line up behind "the old rank and file". If their present spirit grows, the administration—leaders may get a hearing but they will not carry the votes of these men around in their vipestockets any longer. The proposed conference between the Negro office holders in Washington meets the approval of those active in the political life of Tennessee. It is very doubtful though, if the action of the conference will mean anything to the voting people here unless it is punctured with an extra amount of Roosevelt doctrine. If there is any indication that these office holders are trying to keep in with the "Lily White" crowd and make their own welfare safe for the future, then the conference will not mean anything to the voters of this state. People here take the position that our Negro leaders in Washington, if they have the real interests of the race at heart will consult their constituency and see what they want done. Negroes are getting too intelligent now to be led around with a rope around their necks while some Negro office-holder in Washington has hold of the other end. Claimant of Big Fortune ARE TWO COLORED WOMEN SAID TO BE DIRECT DESCENDENTS OF PROPERTY PURCHASERS. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 7—Claiming to be the direct literal descendants, who purchased valuable property in the heart of Brooklyn, N. Y., nearly 200 years ago, Mrs. Jane Waller and Mrs. Sarah E. Giles, sisters and residents of this city, are hopeful of being awarded an estate in that city valued at over $2,000,000. The original tract consisted of 120 acres. A part of this was sold some time ago to the Pennsylvania Railroad, that corporation depositing $500,000 while a search for the legal heirs was being made. Mrs. Waller was in New York last week looking after her claim. IN TWO ROUNDS Sam Langford Put Out Morris Harris, a Heavyweight. Boston, December 15. Two rounds were sufficient for Sam Langford, middle-weight champion, to put Morris Harris, the New York heavy-weight, to slumbering in the feature bout at the Armory A. A. to-night. The match was scheduled for 12 rounds, but as Langford was in a hurry to cut it short, he had Harris on the defensive from the breakaway. The first round was a chase for Langford, who followed Harris around the ring trying to land his sleep punch. Harris did better in the second round at the start off, slipping in several heavy left hooks to the body, but he left an opening for the jaw which Langford was quick to accept, and, Harris was put down for the count. Langford measured his foe when he got to his feet and put him down and out with a right and left on the jaw. GLEE CLUB GIVES MUSICALE Lincoln University, Pa., Dec. 5. A largely attended musical was given here Saturday night by the Lincoln University Glee Club and an attractive program presented. Another White Church Bought HANDSOME PROPERTY OF WHITE METHODIST PASSES INTO THE HANDS OF REV. WORTHAM'S FLOCK. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 7—A deal was ratified a few days ago by which Payne Memorial M. E. Church sequestres the handsome property of a white Methodist Congregation for $41,700. Rev. P. W. Wortham is pastor of the church. This is the second big purchase made by African Methodists within the past two weeks. Bethel buying property for $90,000. A special session of the National Grand Tabernacle of the Gallilean Fishermen was held here last Thursday, when the present and future prospects of the order were given a full airing. The endowment department of the order has already been removed from Hampton, Va. to this city, other reforms are on the program. The national grand ruler, Columbus Gordon, of this city, presided. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings will be a candidate for renomination in the municipal primaries next April. Mr. Cummings long service in the City Council has made him thoroughly acquainted with the city's needs. The Penny Savings Bank, a small banking concern, has gone into the hands of a receiver at the instance of the State Banking Department. The assets are about 2,000, while the liabilities are about three times that amount. Influential in Lodge Circles WAS GEORGE E. TEMPLE, DISTRICT GRAND SECRETARY OF MISSOURI, WHO WAS BURIED SUNDAY. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 5—The funeral of George E. Temple, one of the most prominent residents of this city who died here a few days ago, took place yesterday at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and was very largely attended. Mr. Temple was born in Kentucky 47 years ago. He had lived here since early manhood, and for the past 21 years had been district grand secretary of the Missouri Grand Lodge of Old Fellows. He had also served as deputy master of the order, and at the recent session of the Biennial Movable Committee, at Baltimore, was a candidate for grand secretary. His illness really dated from the session at Baltimore. Mr. Temple was influential in political circles, and for the past 16 years had made his services indispensable as a bookkeeper in the local water department. Separation From White Methodists IS URGED BY DR. LYON HIS SERMON TO HIS CONGREGATION AT BALTIMORE, SUNDAY. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 7.—In a sermon delivered here Sunday before a large congregation at John Wesley M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former American Minister to Liberia, declared that the Negro should peacefully withdraw from the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Lyon's stand was evidently provoked by the attitude of a conference of representatives of the three branches of white Methodism, held here last week, when the Negro seemed to be the chief stumbling block to federation of the denominations. "If by withdrawing", said Dr. Lyon, "in a decent and honorable way will relieve the white Methodists from constant embarrassment among their own race and bring about the reunion of mothers and fathers, will the children show good sense by hesitating to do what will bring it about?" The stand taken by Dr. Lyon agrees with that of some of the most prominent colored people in that church, who view with disquietude race prejudice in the denomination. Monumental Lodge of Elks held impressive memorial services for deceased members. The memorial address was delivered by Attorney W. C. McCard. Among those who passed away during the year was Joe Gans, former lightweight champion of the world. KEPT THE KING AT HOME "For the past year we have kept the King of all laxatives—Dr. King's New Life Pills—in our home and they have proved a blessing to all our family." writes Paul Mathulka, of Buffalo, N.

Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 5—The Leading editorial of the Nashville Banner of Wednesday evening, November 20 has renewed the interest of Temporeans in W. E. B. DuBois. His connection with The Moon, published here some time ago by E. Simon and Co., is still fresh in the minds of the most intelligent people of the State. The Banner editorial was as follows: The New Race Problem. "William Edward Burghardt, DuBois, Professor in The Atlantic University, author of 'The Souls of Blackfolk' and critic of Booker Washington concerning the method of Negro education, has a communication in the New York World that is of interest. The proposed Baymore ordinance that seeks to segregate Negro residents of the city, and Mr. Samuel Gompers' expressed opposition to Negroes as members of labor unions have brought from DuBois a protest in which he "What does this all mean?" he says. "It seems to me perfectly clear. After the successful assault on the black man's political rights there is coming today an attempt all along the line to curtail his right to work and to acquire property. Just as the Negro was largely disfranchised before the practice was translated into law, so today the unions have, with a few exceptions, largely kept black men out of work, and the labor customs of Southern states have stolen his wages. Now gradually but surely the attempt is made to put these customs into law." What is to be done about it? Is the black man again to be advised to make no protest, to take no defensive action? While he was being stripped of political rights he was peremptorily told by his friends to keep still and look pleasant. We were told that to take the vote from the Negro would settle the race problem. Are we to be informed now that stopping him from working, buying property and using it will complete his apotheosis? Is it not rather high time for the long silent champions of decency and fair play in the race problem to voice a mighty protest against these latest manifestations of race prejudice?" "DuBois was born in Massachusetts and educated at Harvard. Though classed as "colored," he is, as the late John J. Ingalls said at Frederick Douglas, "strong in his Caucasian reinforcement." He makes vigorous use of the English language and his writings indicate a bitten resentment at the fate that gave him Negro blood." But he should leave out his ruling at the South in the complaint he has to make against the Baltimore ordinance and Mr. Gompers. Baltimore is more Eastern than Southern, and Southern cities properly have not attempted to enforce Negro segregation. Gompers is a native of England and since he came to this country has lived in the North. There has not been any discrimination in the South against the Negro as a laborer, and what DuBois ever anent the, labor customs of the Southern States stealing the Negro wages is without foundation in truth. "The new race problem that has aroused his resentment is outside of and extraneous to anything Southern and should be discussed without special reference to Southern conditions." It is interesting to any news correspondent and to any person in fact engaged in gathering information to note how thoroughly the spirit of Du Bois has stamped itself upon the Negro race and what a wonderful influence the spirit of Booker Washington has in the every day life of the colored people of the South. Then again, it is matter of both humor and pathos to observe the spirit of both DuBois and Washington firmly rooted in every community of Negroes in the South. It is a fact in spite of anything to be said by the critics of either man.

Few of these know either man personally. All of them have heard and regd — more about Booker Washington — than about Burghardt DuBois and yet the latter has as much influence in their lives as the former. ‘The in- telligent. Negroes have carried the spirit of DuBois with them into every nook and corner of the South. Many of them have done so uncon- sclously. They have done it, not so much becanse they are in love with the man, DuBois, but rather be- cause they feel it their duty to teach Mberty, justice and the equality of all men before the law and in the pursuit of happiness. ‘They believe like DuBois, that the black — man should protest and defend himself when it is right (0 do so. No power on earth can ever ernsh this spirit Tie next generation of Negroes will have liberty thoroughly stamped int- to their lives and they will know beyond the shadow of a doubt what it means. They will know more, too of DuBois and his influence in shap- ing the welfare of the race. ‘Thoughtful people of the race South of the Ohio are coming more and more to see Washington and Du- Bois in a different way than in the past. ‘They are proud of the achieve- ments of both. No criticism by tie friends of either man can make thinking people believe Iess_in the sensible words and works of either of the two. No man in America has ever become so great, that it is crim- inal to criticise him if he so deserves" It would speak poorly for the white race in America to have all its thought and influence centered around one man. It would be just as poor a thing for the Negroes. No Negro man or woman entius- in the South or whoflives in tho North and has had experience in tha South can swallow with grace the “peacetul preachments” of Booker Washington. ‘They may get it down somehow but it has to pass through a throat almost. choking with the sensitive and “bitter resentment’ of DuBois. Any one of trem with the mere semblence of manhood or Womanhood doubts the final resuit ef too much “optimism’ as much as they question extravagant “railing” and agitation.

Hamilton. The January meeting of the Society will be held in Richmond as the guest of Dr. D. A. Ferguson. The Robert T. Freeman Dental Association is ten years old, and has a membership of twenty-five. It was foremost in the movement which led to the adoption of a systematic dental inspection in the public schools of the District. Dr. Fry, who served as chairman of the committee which pioneered this movement, makes the astonishing statement that fully 90 per cent of children in the schools have defective teeth, and this militates against the health of the child and against the efficiency as a student. The new system is working finely, and may pave the way for an inspection of the eyes of the school children. MAY'S Told in A Paragraph. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell addresses a noted body of philanthropists in New York this week. The Vermont Avenue Baptist Church will probably not call a pastor before spring, to succeed the late Rev. C. W. Lee. There is a general belief that Dr. D. Webster Davis, of Richmond, will be selected when the time comes to make the call. Rev. J. Franklin Walker, of Cincinnati, is favorably mentioned also. Secretary Charles Dyer Norton is making a host of friends among the colored people who have occasion to visit the White House. The prices of admission at the New Howard Theater have been reduced to 10, 20 and 30 cents. The report that there is to be a reservation made for colored people is denied by the management. There is to be absolutely no discrimination. and all first-class shows that can be secured will be booked. Erb Robinson, the well-known comedian, has assumed the management of Ford Dabney's Theater, during the illness of Manager George W. Hamilton, who is still in a precarious condition at Freedman's Hospital. Mr. Robinson himself is doing a "turn" this week, and Madeline Cooper ("Kinky") and Evon Robinson, both clever singers and dancers, are on the high-class bill T. Spencer Finley, who is in the second season of his successful comedy run, has been given full charge of the stage management of the Hiawatha Theater. Mr. Finley has had ample experience in this line and will be able to put on acts that could not otherwise be secured. He can be depended upon to give the Hiawatha patrons a show that will please them. Miss Minnie Brown, the winsom New York prima donna, is now in her fifteenth week as an attraction in Washington's best playhouses. This is a record unprecedented by any female star who has visited the capital. Miss Brown has developed a clientele all her own, and her friends are found in the audience at any theater fortunate enough to get her name on a concert. Miss Brown is still at the Foraker and her popularity shows no signs of waning. The centennial anniversary of the birth of Charles Summer is to be fittingly observed here, January 6. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs will be at the National Training School for the Christmas holidays. Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., has been invited to talk on "Education in the South," before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association at an early date. President W. P. Thirkield, of Howard University, is urging the Alumni to push the collection of funds for the building of the $25,000, gymnasium for the school on the hill. Science Hall is to be dedicated soon. John Merrick, of Howard University, went to Durham, N. C., to attend the wedding of his sister, Miss Geneva Belle, November 30. Architect W. Sidney Pittman has returned from Durham, N. C., where he has been putting the finishing touches on the fine White Rock Baptist Church, and attending the Williams-Merrick wedding. The work at the National Religious Training School is progressing in satisfactory fashion. Dr. J. Mitchell Seabrook, one of Howard University's most promising graduates, passed away a few days ago at Asheville, N. C., where he had gone in search of health. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church has purchased the handsome property at 1933 13th street, N. W., and will make his home there.

The Monacan Club announces "Assemblies" for December 29, February 24 and April 21, at the New Auditorium, 5th street S. E. H. H. Cardozo is president of the organization. These functions are always "very swell." The representative colored citizens are favoring San Francisco as the seat of the Panama Canal Exposition if Washington cannot have it. New Orleans is opposed because of its refusal to suspend the "jim-crow" regulations during the life of the "big show." W. W. Martin, with characteristic generosity, gave a Thanksgiving dinner to the inmates of the Home for Friendless Girls at his elegant Northwest Cafe. Mr. Martin leads in benefactions to the race and as a recognition of his public spirit, practically every social function of the first rank is given at his beautiful and convenient establishment. A Colored Theatrical Booking Agency has been established, with headquarters at 1805 4th street, N. W. The Colored Young Women's Christian Association had a "housewarming" last Friday evening at their new and commodious headquarters, 429 T street Northwest, and on the same evening the Y. M. C. A. held a grand reunion of the workers in the last financial campaign. Of the $10,000 subscribed last May, only $2,270 remains to be collected. Work on the new structure is being pushed. President Taft will probably officiate at the dedication, a date for which is now being considered. In the improbable event of the retirement of Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkiling Bruce, Prof. Lewis B. Moore, Prof. Kelly Miller and W. S. Montgomery are mentioned as possible successors. The re-election of Mr. Bruce, however, is expected at the January meeting of the Board of Education. The November number of "The World's Work," containing Dr. Booker T. Washington's reminiscent notes on "The Intellectuals," had a tremendous sale among our people in this city. The December number is also "going like hot cakes," continuing the series of "Chapters From My Experience" by Dr. Washington. MARVELOUS DISCOVERIES mark the wonderful progress of the age.

In the college is found only one- nth of one per cent. of the popula- ion of the mation. ‘The millions of pthers who started and fell by the ayside are numbered largely among these engaged in the “blind alicy™ eupations,for the simple reason Phat they did not have either the Means or the inclination to fit them- Ives for the learned professions. Their parents did not feel able to support them while they were learn- ing that “all Gaul is divided into three parts”, “of Darius and Pary- satis were born two sons”, or some other such rot as useful to a man who must work with his hands as a Afth wheel would be to a wagon. >The fault with our public schoo!s is they are, is that they do not offer instructions in the practical things, hat they look only to the prepara- ion for the battle of life of the “in- ellectuals”, the manuals, and they, ae about eighty per cent. of the whole, are completely ignored. We do not ask our readers to take our Words for this. It is within the wer of most of them to put it to pe test. Ask any young man or ung Woman graduate of a normal OF high school to measure your floor or wall for carpet or wall paper, ask him to lay off the foundation of a erib to hold a given quantity of Grain, to make some’ simple repairs @gut the house, or to tell what sum Would be passed to you over the counter of the bank which accepted your note for eighty dollars for six. ty days. The chances are, three to ‘one, that you would wonder how a person who could so fluently name the capitols of the states, square X Plus Y or conjugate amo could be so dgmorant of those callings upon Which most of them must rely. tc bring the bacon home. Washington has set the pace. Let us hope that other cities and Tural districts will soon emulate her example.

STILT FAVORS NEGRO EXPOS a SINION, In bis message to the Congress, which convened Monday, President Matt said, speaking of two subjects bwhich vitally concern the Negro peo- “ple of the Nation: “I renew my yecommendation Ahat tho claims of the depositors in the Freedmen's Bank ‘be recognized “and pald by the passage of the pend.

RUSHING WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD, It is with no little — trepidation that The Advocate ventures to ques- tion any statement appRaring in The New York Age, but there ap- peared in its last issue two. so glar- ingly inaccurate regarding West. Vir- xinia matters that we take the chance of being placed in the category of those who rush in where angels fear to tread. The Age. under the caption, “Scott of West Virginia”, speaks of a Re- publican Senate in this state. We rise in fear and trembling to state that the Senate of West Virginia is not Republican. Its thirty mem- bers are divided equally — betweea the two parties—there being: fifteen Republicans and fifteen Democrats. Again, The Age, in correcting The Philadelphia Tribune, asserts that former Governor MacCorkle favors his law partner, Mr, Chilton, for the United states Senate. May be does and may.be he doesn't but the strongest evidence is to the contrary. The Charleston Gazette, which the firm of Chilton, MacCorkle and Chil- ton controls, is openly for Watson, the Fairmont coal baron. It would appear from this that there is an un- derStanding between the gentlemen who, according to popular belief, will name Mr. Scott's successor. A PRETTY CALENDAR.

WASHINGTON, OF THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. AN APPEAL FOR THE NEGRO CHILD. To The Editor of The Advocate: Through the medium of your valued newspaper I desire to say a word to the colored people regarding the importance of good public schools. It has been some months since I have had anything to say on this important subject. I wish to repeat that which I have tried to emphasize from time to time, that there are few, if any subjects, which are of more vital and farreaching importance to the masses of our race in the South at the present time than that of building up a good public school system. Only a very small per cent of our people can ever go to a large boarding school, or any kind of college or industrial school for their education. The masses must depend upon the public school in their neighborhood for whatever education they get. If the public school is a failure the masses grow up in ignorance and so I am making this direct appeal to every minister, teacher and business man and woman through out the South to take a personal and deep interest in the condition of the Negro public schools.

Meat Specialty of Star Ham and Bacon and that we should have our rightful share of the public school fund. Where we are not getting our just share of the public school fund, a direct appeal should be made to the public school authorities for a more just distribution of the public school funds. This kind of appeal should be repeated again and again until we do receive our just share. We should not give up or stand still, in case where the public school authorities are not willing or unable to give more money. It will be no excuse to the future generation of children, if they grow up in ignorance, to tell them that they might have been educated, if the public school authorities had done their duty. In travelling through the South, I have observed that wherever a good public school-house is provided, in most cases, the result is, that that community will have a good teacher and a school term of respectable length. I advise then, that every community set to work to secure either through the public fund or from private gifts in that community a good public school building, in many cases, where people are not able to give money toward the erection of a good schoolhouse, they can give the use of their teams to haul lumber, or they can give material, or give without charge so many days work each week, but in some way every community that is now with out a comfortable school. 5 CENTS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA STATE AND NATION FEDERAL STAMP NEW YORK CITY In many cases, the schoolhouses in which the children are taught are not fit for pigs to live in. The roofs leak, the floors are full of holes, there is no stove, and in many cases, the benches and other furniture are so rude and worthless that it is impossible for teacher and children to stay in such houses without being in continual misery. A schoolhouse is not completed until it has been either painted or whitewashed on the inside or outside; neither is a schoolhouse complete until it has been ceiled or plastered on the inside, and every schoolhouse should be thoroughly furnished with good seats; a teacher's desk, with good blackboards, etc., before it should be considered completed. It is almost as cheap to build a good schoolhouse as it is to build a poor one. If every community will organize and come together, with the direct object of providing a good schoolhouse, I am safe in saying I believe that before the present school year passes, a large number of communities will have good, first-class schoolhouses. I also advise that an architectural plan be drawn, wherever possible, for these schoolhouses. In many cases, a good deal of money is practically thrown away in the erection of a building, because no plans have been drawn. Aside from the building being almost useless when a plan is not drawn, it does not usually present a good appearance. One other thing: My travels through the South convince me that the public schools for our race are often crippled and weakened by reason of the fact that denominational jealousies and rivalry enter into the public school system. It should be understood in every community that the public school must be separated wholly from church influences. In some communities, the public school system is weakened because the Baptist element want a Baptist teacher, the African Methodist element want African Methodist teacher, and the Zion Methodist want a Zion Methodist teacher. This kind of contention and jealousy is all nonsense and results only in weakening the public schools. In some communities, the people are now trying to support three little weak schools, with three different teachers, representing so many church denominations, when the people in the community should have one, good strong public school, regardless of denomination. In some cases there are three little public schools lasting only three months in the year, when, if the people were united, they might have one good public school lasting seven or eight months in the year. In public school education, there is no Baptist Arithmetic, or Methodist Arithmetic, or anything of the kind. What the people want are good, sensible, moral, upright, Christian teachers, regardless of the church to which they belong. There are other matters in connection with the public schools of the South, to which I shall hope to call attention soon through another letter. (Signed) Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, December 5, 1910. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION This has been an unusually busy year, fraught with many exerting and interesting things. Halley's Comet was the centre around which interest hung during the first five months. The heavenly visitor came partly as was predicted, kissed the earth with its tail, but did no harm and bade us farewell, so far as we are concerned, will never return. The political campaign absorbed much interest. The returns from the polls show that there was a general dissatisfaction among the citizens throughout both the local and national tickets. Amid these unrestful conditions, the army of israel's God is contending for the cause for which the humble Nazaren died. The West Virginia Baptist Sunday School convention is yet striving earnestly to keep the spirit of the Sunday Schools. It should be no longer a question as to whether we will do missionary work or not, since the pages of the Holy Writ show clearly that it is a command on Christs and we should obey Him. In looking forward to carrying out this commission the Executive Board of the Convention in its Charleston meeting appointed a superintendent of missions to have general oversight of the work throughout the State. In the discharge of the duties involved in this appointment the towns and cities were visited as far as conditions would allow and the schools have been assisted in many ways in carrying on Sunday School work. Special efforts have been made to improve the efficiency of our Sunday School teachers and officers and workers generally by holding meetings with them in which questions pertaining to the work were discussed. We endeavored to reach the people in their homes as a means of interesting them in the Heavenly Home. The interests of the Sunday School Convention are becoming so numerous that the Board is planning to organize the State into six Union districts and it is hoped that the schools in the various districts as mentioned in this paper will unhesitatingly come together and organize when notified by the Superintendent of Missions.
