HARRIETT BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELFBRATION HARRIETT BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELFBRATION ONE HUNDERTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AUTHOR OF "UNCLE TOM'S Principal Address By Layman Beecher Stowa, Grand Son Of The Famous Author. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Not A Slap At The South.-The Character Of Simon Largree that of A Renagade Northener.-Some Fine Addresses Are Made. Bureau of the Afro-American Ledger, 1004 S Street N. W. Washington, D. C., June 22. — The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe at Lincoln Temple last Wednesday evening was an inspiring occasion. The spacious edifice was crowded to the doors with one of the finest audiences that the oldest inhabitant can remember. The program was admirably balanced and held the people closest attention from beginning to end. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell presided very gracefully, and gave as her contribution to the exercises a graphic story of the life and character of Mrs. Stowe from the viewpoint of the men and women the immortal author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did so much to free from the bonds of slavery. The celebration was the child of the fertile brain of Mrs. Terrell, and the plans formulated by her were happily conceived and most effectively worked out. The Washington meeting formed the nucleus of similar observances all over the country. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Mr. Lyman Beecher Stowe, a grandson of Harriet Beecher Stowe. He is a young man of pleasing personality, and represents the latter-day type of the hustling, matter-of-fact man of business. He told a great many things that were new to most of his hearers, and threw heretofore unknown light upon the circumstances that led his grandmother to write her great book. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was not intended as a direct slap at the South," said Mr. Stowe. He called especial attention to the fact that the novelist had made the meanest character in the book, Simon Legree, a renegade Northerner. This and other characters had been taken from real life or were at least founded upon the characteristics of living men and women. He answered the stock criticisms about Mrs. Stowe's qualifications for writing "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The author had rare opportunities for sturying the varying types of whites and blacks from her residence of seventeen years on the border line of a slave State. A brother of Mrs. Stowe lived in New Orleans during this period, being employed as a shipping clerk in a cotton house. He wrote Mrs. Stowe daily, giving her a minute description of the prototype of Legree, whom he discovered to be a Vermont "neer-dowell" who had been run out of his home town for general worthlessness. The high-class-Southern gentlemen,Mr. Shelby and Mr. St. Clair, were personal friends of Mrs. Stowe, and she indicated her belief in the kindly disposed Southern slaveowner by giving them a prominent place in the plot. While opposing slavery, Mrs. Stowe was fair to the best traditions of the South and her representative people. Strong speeches were made by Gen. Andrew S. Burt, formerly commander of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and Mr. L. M. Hershaw, a ripe student of social and political problems affecting the race. General Burt spoke optimistically of the future of the race that Mrs. Stowe helped upward, and Mr. Hershaw eulogized Mrs. Stowe as a heroine who deserved a niche in the gallery of fame higher than Joan of Arc, Charlotte Corday and the wife of Pilate. Approprii [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. ate musical selections were rendered by Miss Lola Johnson, Miss Charlotte M. Wallace and Mr. Joseph H. Douglass. Bank Street Church (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Norfolk, Va., June 22.—Rev. Charles S. Morris, the well-known evangelist, has been installed as pastor of the Bank Street Baptist Church. During the past spring he conducted revival services here in which hundreds were converted. Rev. Morris is a native of Kentucky and is an alumnus of the Louisville High School and the law school of the University of Michigan. He has been in the ministry a number of years, and was formerly pastor of the Auxysinian Baptist Church, New York. His first wife was a granddaughter of Frederick Doughlass, the anti-slaver orator. He delivered a speech before the Southern Baptist: Convention (white) some years ago, and his eloquence so moved them that money was literally showered at him. LEWIS CONFIRMED WITHOUT DIVISION Opposition Led By Senator Bacon Of Georgia Did Not Develop Strong- (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, D. C., June 21. — When all was in readiness for action, the confirmation of William Henry Lewis, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, went through as slick as if it had been greased. The opposition that was to have been led by Senator Bacon of Georgia, and other Southern gentlemen, melted into thin air. The unlinching moral support of President Taft counted for much in the equation, and the diplomatic missionary work of Senator Lodge was potent in bringing about the desired result. On the subcommittee Senator Sutherland, of Utah, stood manfully by his guns for fairplay. The vote was taken without debate and Mr. Lewis was confirmed without division. It was a big victory—a big feather in the cap o the administration that has thus elevated a competent colored man to the highest place ever occupied by a member of our race, and a bigger feather in the cap of the brilliant young man who has worked his way upward through fidelity to right principles and unflagging industry. After all is said and done, a large measure of the credit for Mr. Lewis' confirmation belongs to Mr. Lewis himself. Throughout the long battle he bore himself with dignity. He kept his lips shut tight, studied Indian depration claims, went in and won a difficult case for the government without noise or bluster, and with tact and finesse put a quietus on the claim of the timorous Southerners that he was seeking social equality. All found him to be a man of poise, sound sense and legal ability of the highest order. FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN RACES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN RACES UNIVERSAL RACES CONRESS TO BE HELD IN THE CITY OF LONDON NEXT MONTH Object Of The Congress Is To Try And Bring About A Better Understanding Between The So-Called White And The So-Called Colored Races Of The World Prominent Members of All Races Will Be Present And Take Part. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) London, June 15.—Despite the fact that the coronation is at present overshadowing everything else, interest has begun to heighten in the Universal Races Congress, which will be held here the latter part of July. The Congress will bring together publicists of all nations, who will discuss race problems and ways for bringing about closer and fairer relations between different nationalities. The delegates will come from all parts of Asia, Africa, Europe North and South America, and the West Indies. Prominent among the advance guard of the delegates to arrive here is Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, who is leading the fight for the rights of the colored people in the United States. His scholarly and dignified hearing, as well as his fame as a scholar, have won him many friends among the leading thinkers here. The sessions of the Congress will be held at the University of London. The objects of the Congress are stated to be as follows: To discuss in the light of science and the modern conscience, the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the West and those of the East, between so-called white and so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier co-operation. Among those who will speak on questions affecting peoples of African descent are Sir Harry Johnston, General Legitime, former president of Haiti; J. Tenge Jahavu, of South Africa; r a Mojola Aghebi, of West Africa, and Dr. DuBois, who will speak on the "Negro Race in the United States of America." Special to The Artoft Magazine Washington, D. C., June 21. — Mr. Joseph E. Johnson, for many years attached to the staff of the Speaker of the House of Representatives as stenographer and confidential clerk, tendered his resignation this week to Speaker Clark. He is conceded to be one of the best in the business, and a strong effort was made by the broader-minded Democrats to have him retained on his merits. It is understood that Mr. Johnson is to be provided for handsomely under another branch of the government. He is too valuable a man to be permitted to be idle. Good Smaraitans Attend Services (Eastern, June 22. — Mr. James Peterson, a well-known citizen of this place, was buried from Bethel A. M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon of last week.) The Order of Good Samaritans attended services at Bethel Church Sunday evening, and listened to a sermon by Rev. S. H. Cooper. Mrs. Rosa Richardson, of Baltimore, has been spending a few days here as the guest of M. R. H. Gibson. Miss Gladys Cause, who has been spending some time here as the guest of her grandmother, Mrs. Isaac Dobson, has 1 returned to her home in Baltimore. Mr. John Webb, of Essex Falls, is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Webb. A lawn fete was given by Mrs. Mary Kilson at her residence Monday evening. (Special to The Afro-American Leader) Washington, June 22.—Former Register W. T. Vernon, recently appointed Inspector of Indian Schools, anticipates no serious opposition when he reaches the field. Most of the agitation about the so-called color question is merely newspaper talk and is meant to create the situation that the report so graphically portrays. Mr. Vernon is satisfied to have his headquarters here or in Oklahoma, as the Department of the Interior may elect. He will travel considerably. Respite Asked For Mattie Lomax (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, June 21.—A respite until fall will be asked for in behalf of Mrs. Mattie Lonax, who is under sentence to be hanged July 31. A stay of execution will probably be granted by President Taft, to give the Court of Appeals an opportunity to review the case. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew has done some herelean wor kio save the district from being disgraced by the hanging of a woman. A series of mass meetings will be held to arouse the conscience of the people. Preaching's Meeting Adopts Resolutions (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, D. C., June 20 - At a meeting held in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Monday, resolutions asking the President to commute the sentence of Mattie Lomax were adopted and a committee appointed to present the same to President Taft. The committee consisted of Revs. U. G. Depper, president of the Preachers' Meeting; C. H. Young, W. D. Naylor, John Porter and W. H. Coston. Childred's Day Exercises Children's Day Exercises (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Berkley, Md., June 20.—The Children's Day exercises held at Hosannah A. M. E. Church Sunday were largely attended and a very interesting program rendered. The music and drills under the direction of Mrs. Ella Washington, who was ably assisted by Miss Mary Fleming and Mr. W. C. Jones. A very successful lawn fete was given Monday evening at the church. Mrs. T. N Norton and family were entertained at tea on Sunday evening by Mrs. Horace Prigg. Washington, D. C., June 21. Joseph H. Douglass, the eminent violinist, is to take charge of a new musical department, established at Howard University. He will instruct in orchestral and band music. The selection is a popular one. PRICE THREE CENTS A PROSPEROUS YEAR AT BIDDLE UNIVERSITY DR. MC CROREY THE PRESI DENT A HARD-WORKING AND PROGRESSIVE EXECUTIVE Was Founded By The Northern Presbyterian Church Forty five Years Ago And Has Been Productive Of Much Good.—Turns Out Every Year A Number Of Young Men Who Are Much For The Uplift of The Race (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Biddle University, June 19.—In the year 1866 Biddle University was founded by the Northern Presbyterian Ch., in the city of Charlotte, in the State of North Carolina, for the purpose of training and educating the colored youth of the Southland. The first lot of land, of ten acres, was given by Col. Myers, of North Carolina, and the first money subscribed was by Mrs. Biddle, of Philadelphia. Ever since its institution the school has made rapid progress and has demonstrated the purpose for which it was established by turning out yearly a number of men who are doing excellent work among their fellowmen for the uplift of humanity. The school is divided into three departments, viz: Normal and Preparatory, College, and Theological. The administration at first was entirely in the hands of white men, but as years have rolled on this has been changed, and today the faculty is colored. Rev. H. L. McCroely, D. D., of South Carolina, is president. The school is situated on a hill about one and one-half miles from the city of Charlotte proper, and can easily be reached by electric cars, which stop at the gate. There are quite a number of buildings on the campus, which covers 75 acres of land, and is said to be the prettiest spot in Charlotte. The year just closed has been a very successful one. The commencement exercise have been the best in the history of the university. The number attending school was about two hundred and twenty-five. The graduating class of the college department numbered 24, 20 of whom received the degree of A.B., and four the degree of B.S. The theological department sent out three, all of whom received the degree of S.T.B. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Shaw, of Tenth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, and the annual address was given by Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, N. C., who is called the "Black Man's Friend." His address was a very long one, and dealt with the relation existing between the white and colored man in the South before the war. The outlook at this school is very bright. Through the efforts of Dr. McCroery, who is a very hard-working and progressive man, improvements are continually being made. The year 1911-12 will see the following additions, which will make for the comfort of the school: A library to cost $15,000; an electric plant, to cost $2,500, and the equipment of the industrial building with new machinery, to cost $2,500. Boston Guardiar To Get A Lift Washington, D. C., June 18. — A movement is under way to gather a testimonial purse for Mr. W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, in recognition of the service that he and his family have rendered the race and the cause of human rights by the publication of the "Guardian" for the past ten years. The movement is headed by Dr. Owen M. Waller, of 762 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Letters are being sent out requesting donations. These letters set forth the "heroic sacrifices" 'which have been made by Mr. Trotter and his family to keep the "Guardian" going to champion [Portrait of a man with a serious expression, wearing a dark shirt and a white collar. The background is a blurred landscape with a body of water and a distant building.] the cause of our race and humanity in general, and request that remittances be made to Dr. Waller at above address or to certain local committeemen located in various cities. The chairman for this city is Rev. J. M. Waldron, 1334 V street northwest: It is announced that all donations will be acknowledged in the "Guardian" unless the donor requests otherwise. It is the intention to make the presentation July 1st. MAKING EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) St. Louis, Mo., June 17. - The meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, July 26-30, is the topic of discussion in every quarter of the city at the present time. The executive committee with Prof. R. H. Cole at its head, and Prof. C. H. Turner, secretary, is making ample preparations, both for the session of the association and the entertainment of the delegate. Mr. J. R. E. Lee, of Tuskegee, the corresponding secretary, has been in the city a part of the week, in conference with the executive committee and the various local committees concerning matters bearing upon the coming session. From a review of the program it is evident that from the very start and at every session, some of the most vital topics are to be handled by the very best educators of the race. The closing meeting is to be held in the Coliseum. This is the place where the most noted men of the country have spoken, among them Hon. W. J. Bryan, President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt and Explorer Robert E. Peary. Ten thousand people are expected to attend this closing session. The speakers are: State Superintendent of Education Hon. M. P. Evan and Dr. Booker T. Washington. Governor Hadley has also been invited. Mr. Lee, the corresponding secretary, was greatly pleased with the outlook of the meeting. He was unstinted in his praise of the equipment of our public schools. Although the schools will not be in sessions, Mr. Lee says that it is worth a trip to St. Louis to see the magnificent and plenidily equipped Summer High School, costing nearly five hundred thousand dollars — having every possible accommodation for the education of colored young men and women of St. Louis. The eyes of the whole country, educationally, are turned toward St. Louis. STORK. ON THE JOB. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Chestertown, Md., June 21.—Mr. L. H. Chambers, the all-round business man of town, has removed from Cannon street to Calvert street, where he has opened a first-class restaurant. Mr. Chambers represents the young progressive men of the town. Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Young will leave this week for Baltimore to attend the wedding of Miss Mamie Wilson. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bessies on Tuesday and left a fine girl. Mother and daughter are doing nicely. AN IDEAL SCHOOL FOR SELF HELP REOUCES COST OF EDUCATION Incorporated With University Powers the Afro-American Correspondence School Wisely Meets the Needs of the Masses-Founded by W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington. - The Afro-American School of Correspondence was organized in Washington in September, 1000, at 818 Third street, N. W. It was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia as a university and began its career with a faculty consisting of some of the most experienced educators in the race. It was organized to reach the great unreached middle class, the man with a need and a thirst for a deeper drink from the "Pierian spring of knowledge." Its object is to supply that There is some special knowledge they need and are unable to supply because of limited means, the absence of educational facilities that meet their peculiar necessities or a backward disposition to expose their ignorance to others because of a lack of information on certain subjects that the world expects them to know. There are hundreds of persons who could greatly increase their usefulness and materially add to their revenues by taking advantage of a correspondence course such as is provided by this excellent school. The course is a priceless boon to all classes of our people. To the ignorant it means knowledge, and knowledge is power; to the partially educated it means increase of information and added usefulness. "It is eyes to the blind and feet to the lame." The times call for men and women who know, It is no longer what you are, alone, but what you know and what you can do. Hundreds of people who have some education are greatly overestimated, and it is only a matter of time when they will be found out. Every man knows on what point he is weak, and he owes it to himself to strengthen the weak places. It is unfortunate to be ignorant, but it is a crime against self and society to remain ignorant when the facilities for knowing are knocking at our doors. Thousands of persons are holding positions today that they are afraid will be taken from them tomorrow by the men who have superior PETER H. BURGESS REV. DR. W. DISHOP JOHNSON. knowledge. No man can afford to stand still. The future holds for the Negro the largest and best possibilities. Doors are opening to him that have hitherto been closed. The man who is prepared to meet the demands of tomorrow as well as today is the individual to whom success is assured. He is invincible. The institution has a great advantage in being located in Washington. No other city possesses educational advantages and facilities equal to Washington. By authority of congress all the resources of the government are placed at our disposal educationally. The greatest body of scholars, scientists and educational specialists in the world live at the national capital. There is a great number of public school teachers, college professors and ex-professors who make teaching in all branches of instruction their life work and have been so engaged for years, many of whom are recognized authorities on the very subjects taught. All these facts give the correspondent student a great advantage. The faculty represents some of the best institutions in America-Harvard, Yale, Howard, Union and Northwestern universities, Bishop, Bates, Storer and Guadalupe colleges. The president of the corporation is the Hon. Thomas L. Jones, LL B., Washington, a graduate of Union and Howard universities, one of the ablest lawyers in the country and one who enjoys the respect of the courts because of his high character and profound knowledge of law. The first vice pres- Ident is Rev. Holland Powell, D. D. Brooklyn, N. Y., a graduate of Wayland seminary and Union university, an able preacher and successful pastor, who is beloved everywhere because of his upright life and devotion to his race. The second vice president is Rev. C. H. Payne, D. D., of West Virginia, graduate of Richmond Theological institute, American consul to St. Thomas, D. W. I., diplomat, lawyer, educator and preacher. Dr. Payne is the pride of West Virginia and has by his successful administration of governmental affairs honored his race as well as his government, which he has served since the McKinley administration. The secretary and treasurer is Rev. W. Bishop Johnson. D. D., LL. D., once professor of mathematics and political science at Wayland seminary for twelve years. He is the organizer of the national Baptist educational convention, author of "The Correspondent Student's Arithmetic, Grammar and United States History," "The Scourging of a Rue," "Sparks From A. B. PRESIDENT THOMAS L. JONES. My Anvil" and "The Story of Negro Baptists." Dr. Johnson is one of the most eloquent orators among negroes and is thoroughly devoted to his race. He has been pastor of the Second Baptist church in Washington for twenty-eight years. He enjoys an international reputation as a great educator. Rev. Dr. A. W. Adams, D. D., is the field secretary, a graduate of Storer and Bates colleges. For years he has been New England's great pastor and preacher. Some years ago he was a professor in Storer college. Harper Perry, W. Van, and now returns to his old love, "the educational work of the Negro." The students number 200 and are found in twenty-four states. A correspondence school, teaching by mall, is a new thing to many of our people, and much of the work of the Afro-American School of Correspondence is preparatory and educative, so far as the advantage of such a course is concerned, but it is amazing how many have seized upon it as an invaluable opportunity and are being benefited. The students are found from Massachusetts to Florida. By the correspondence method teachers write things instead of saying them. Instead of listening to oral lectures the correspondence student studies at home, thereby forming habits of self reliance and research; loses no time from work, but utilizes his spare moments for self improvement; studies when convenient, for the school never closes; combines education and experience by putting into immediate use the knowledge gained by study; reduces the price of education to the minimum, for the cost is far below what is paid any institution of learning; secures private and confidential instruction (this is impossible in the class room, for there the student is subject to comment and criticism from other students and in this way is frequently embarrassed); is in a class by himself, getting all the instruction and doing all the reciting, being able to review and correct without infringing upon the time of others. Officials of Strong Moral Courage. With Judge Cotteral ruling against the "grandfather" clause in the Oklahoma constitution, having for its object the disfranchisement of colored citizens, and Judge Emory Speer of the United States district court for Georgia reukling an attorney at the bar of justice for using the term "nigger" in reference to colored plaintiffs while addressing the court, it seems that many good white officials in the south have tired of argument with race prejudice as a text instead of facts according to law. There should be no substitute for proper designation of the racial identity of citizens. Afro-American Invents Airship. Afro-Americans continue to make good along special and general lines of industry where education and special skill are required. An instance in this regard is shown in the airship recently invented by Oscur R. Cassell. Mr. Cassell's invention is on exhibition at Spalding's sporting goods house, Forty-second street, New York. Vernon to Supervise Indian Schools. Secretary Fisher of the interior department could not have appointed a more capable man than the Hon. William Tecumseh Vernon to the post of assistant supervisor of schools for Indians and colored persons. By education and experience in public affairs the new appointee is eminently fitted, popular and widely known. TWIN FORCES IN BUSINESS Advertising and Selling Features For Timely Consideration. In a discussion of advertising we must ever keep in mind the fact that, while separate and distinct in operation, the advertising, end is closely allied to the selling force of any business, no matter how small. When a local advertiser has decided to use space in his home paper he should first make sure that his selling organization is conversant with his plans and able to meet any new business that the advertisement brings in. After all, advertising's only mission is to bring the customer to the business. When the new customer walks into the store the work of the advertisement is done and the work of the selling force begins. In every large business there is organization in the selling department. Small merchants must begin to improve their service along this line, for the growth of any business is largely dependent upon a well organized sales force. Among Afro-Americans there is a large number of small businesses in which the members of the family constitute the selling force. In those cases there is no better place than around the fireside and at the meal table for a heart to heart discussion of ways and means for building the business. And whoever is the head should read business literature and study the selling plans of successful business men in similar lines. POPULATION INCREASING Larger School Building Needed in West Asbury Park. West Asbury Park, N. J.-From every appearance the rapid growth in the colored population of West Asbury Park has begun to affect the public school system in a very tangible way. The present school building site, 1110 Springwood avenue, has stood for more than twenty-five years. It consists of four large rooms in the main building and only two in the annex, with seating capacity for about 160 to 200 pupils. It serves all purposes of instruction from the kindergarten to a high school preparation, but the constant demand for better facilities for manual training makes a new and larger schoolhouse necessary. Principal T. H. Murry, who has presided over the school for twenty years, has shown great wisdom in selecting its curriculum, for Asbury Park, like many of the southern cities, does not deny her colored citizens an opportunity at such trades as carpentry, painting, bricklaying, plastering or any other craft for which they are fitted. Therefore a school system in such a city would not meet the actual need of its people unless its training was practical enough to fit the student for usefulness right at home, with ability to make the most of his opportunity. Thus the art of hammock making, sewing for the girls, the use of tools in woodcraft by the boys and designing, freehand drawing, commercial penmanship and mathematics are all studies that a student in such a city will find invaluable in after life and that will make him independent in his efforts to learn almost any trade. The instructors this year were assigned to the following classes: Miss S. B. Lewis, kindergarten; Miss C. E. Sylvester, first A and first B; Miss C. E. Karney, second A; Miss M. V. Mitchell, second B and third A; Miss L. L. Fishy, third B and fourth A, and Mrs. B. B. Douglass, fourth B and fifth A. The graduating classes were in the hands of the principal personally. The term began Sept. 14. 1010, and closed June 16. There were placed on exhibition samples of work done in every department, which were shown to the public first on parents' day and which remained open for inspection until the school closed. Fifteen graduated from the school this year, and the commercial exercises were more extensive than ever. PREJUDICE IN THE NAVY. Methodist Conference Wants Color Discrimination on Battleships Stopped. The resolutions adopted by the New England conference of the A. M. E. church at its recent annual meeting in Newport, I. L. , calling the attention of the secretary of the navy to the fact that race prejudice is rampant in the navy, were most timely in every detail. The resolutions of the conference state, among other things, that there exists at navy recruiting stations an impossibility for colored men to enlist except as coal passers or mess attendants, that they are discriminated against aboard the receiving ships Hancock at New York and Franklin at Norfolk, that on several battleships they are segregated and that there is no opportunity for colored men to parade or rise. It is petitioned that these conditions be investigated and remedied. Must Guarantee Our Citizenship. There will be no popular election of senators without the Sutherland amendment providing for federal control of, said elections, says the Pensacola (Flu. Sentinel). A truly good measure will go down in the dust unless there is a guarantee that the Negro citizenship shall be protected. AN EXPEDITION Like all great ideas it came suddenly. Arthur looked at Claude wide eyed and Claude stared back with his mouth open. Then he shut the book with a bang and said: "Gee! Wish't we cut go west an' shoot em, too!" "Let's!" brouthed Arthur. Naturally, there were difficulties—there always are difficulties in the path of pioneers. One's hidebound family, for instance, entirely lacking in sympathy and utterly devoid of energetic daring. Therefore, they decided to say nothing to their families. Being thus thrown upon one another necessitated secret conferences. "How fond," said Claude's mother to his father, "Claude and little Arthur are of one another. I think their friendship is just beautiful!" They found the revolver up in Arthur's attic. The cylinder was missing, but they were happily unaware of that and it looked fierce taken altogether. "I kin carry it in my side pocket as easy—see!" Arthur crowed. "The boy in the book had a rifle," objected Chaude. ""Member when he killed two buffalo with one shot how he rested it on the flat rock—" "Aw, the pistol's just as good," broke in Arthur. "It has an awful big hole in the end. We'd better start the first sunny day." "They did. Arthur's mother stood in the door a minute and repeated instructions as to what she wanted at the grocery and he ran fast to get away. Little she recked that when next she saw her son she would clasp a boarded man to her breast with a carload of buffalo skins being unloaded at the door. Arthur was gasping from running when he met Claude around the corner of the barn. Claude looked very serious and his cap presented odd bulges. "Fried cakes," he explained briefly, "If we'd eat some now," said the practical Arthur, "you wouldn't get a headache carrying 'em around!" They sat down on the curbing and ate four. "That's all there is," explained Claude, putting on his cap. "Now, which way is west?" Arthur with a light in his eyes tugged at his pocket. He drew forth something that looked like a watch gone to the bad. He squinted an eye at it and then gravely said, "This way. I spose you'd forgot we had to have a compass!" Abashed before such penetration, Claude trudged along silently for a time. "We can't walk the whole way," he said, suddenly. "I got a Columbia half dollar." "Gee!" said Arthur, with interest. "That's worth a lot! We'll sell it an ride as far as we can on that an' then work our way!" By noon they had wandered into totally unfamiliar streets. The stores were small, the homes cluttered and poor. "I'm awfully tired," Claude whimpered. Arthur rewarded him with a look of scorn. "Wait till you get to the desert," he said, "where you swallow dust and there are snakes. There's a man—we'll sell him the half dollar." The man, leaning against a wall, scowled at them. Arthur, holding out the Columbian piece, explained that it was quite valuable. "It's worth a dollar," he insisted. "I'll give you 10 cents for it," said the man at hat. "All right," said Arthur, and handed over the Columbian half dollar. They bought a loaf of bread with half the dime and, retiring behind a lumber pile, ate it. "Let's go to sleep an' rest, awhile," begged Claude. "All right," agreed Arthur unexpectedly. His face was a little pale and he did feel tired. They curled up on the boards and slept. The hours wore on. A stray dog trotted by, sniffed at them and stole what was left of the bread. The lumber pile cast long shadows. When they woke up it was getting toward twilight. Claude began to cry. "I'm coo-old!" he sniffed. "An' I'm so hungry I ache!" "I don't know where we are," Arthur confessed. His lips trembled and he opened and shut his blue hands. They struggled out on to the dilapidated wooden sidewalk and it was there Officer Mulvaney found them. "Well, well!" said the man behind the desk at the station, where Mulvaney ushered his captures. "Now, just tell me all about it!" He took Claude on one knee and Arthur on the other, and winked over their heads at the clustering policemen. "What did you find out? Oh, what did you find out?" cried Claude's mother and Arthur's mother hysterically, rushing at Claude's father who had gone to the phone for the fiftieth time that night in the process of the wild search for the boys. "They say at headquarters," said Claude's father, wiping his brow in relief, "that the boys have been picked up all right—and that they say—they say they were merely on their way west to shoot buffaloes! Buffaloes! The little devils!" "You—you are a per-perfect b-b-brute to l-l-laugh!" sobbed Claude's mother and Arthur's mother as they rushed into each other's arms. "That's just l-l-like m-m-m-men!"

When cooking lamb or mutton, be careful to trim away the outer thin parchment-like membrane on the skin, as this is the part next to the wool, and if left on gives the disagreeable woolly flavor to the meat when cooked. Braised Breast of Lamb.—With a sharp-pointed knife remove the bones. Flatten the meat, sprinkle with salt, pepper, then roll and tie up. In a deep kettle put a scant half capful each of onion, carrot and turnip. Add three tablespoonfuls of fat and cook slowly until lightly colored. Lay in the meat and pour around it a pint of boiling water, cover closely and place in a moderate oven. Allow 45 minutes to the pound, adding more water if necessary. When done strain the gravy and serve with the meat. This dish may be varied by using peas or tomatoes instead of the water. All the cheaper cuts of meat may with care be served most attractively and be at the same time most nutritious. Stuffed Shoulder—Have the shoulder boned. Make a stuffing with state bread, salt, pepper, any sweet herbs, a little grated onion, a grating of lemon peel and fat to moisten. Fill the cavity and skewer. Pour a cup of water in the pan, add a tablespoonful of tomato calsup. Roast in a moderate oven, basting with the gravy. Mutton a la Marquise—Chop fine cold mutton and mix it with an equal quantity of cold boiled rice. Season with salt, pepper, a little onion juice, chopped parsley and curry powder, and molten with one or more eggs. Mold in hails, dip in egg and crumbs and fry brown in hot fat. Barbecued Breast.—Place the meat in a kettle, cover with boiling water and simmer, with salt, pepper and onion, until the bones can be slipped out. Put the meat under pressure and let stand over night. Score both sides with a sharp knife. Mix together half a teaspoonful of mustard, a dash of cayenne and a half teaspoonful of salt, add three tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, tomato catup and good vinegar. When boiling hot lay in the meat and serve when well heated through. Nellie Maxwell Self-Massage.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 24, 1911 "Putting interest and love into any work you may have to do, is the surest way to graduate from it into the work you are longing for." Editor Fortune, late of the Amsterdam News, is now in the journalistic field for himself. It is the Rochester Sentinel. published at Rochlstre, N. Y. Here's our hand Brother Tim, and in the language of Brother Rip Van, "May you live long and prosper." It is to be hoped that the troubles of the School Board will soon be settled to the satisfaction of all parties. Superintendent Van Siele is one of the best educators in the country and has done splendid work for the Baltimore Schools. It is to be hoped that he will continue at the head of the school system of this city until he has completely worked out his plan for the betterment of those most interested in the children. LOOKING BACK. In the recent athletic contests in this city, it is said that in one of the running races a very prominent candidate lost the opportunity of winning the race and the championship honors because he was continually looking back to see how close his competitors were to him. In regard to this we would give a word of caution to those young people who are now coming out of school and will in a short time be making their bows to the world, and seeking a place for themselves. In this race of life, there is no time for looking back; the thing to do is to press forward toward the mark we have set for our ambition. Never mind our competitors how close they come to us, the thing for us to do is to keep our eyes fixed upon the goal and continually strive for it. Looking back we lose time and the man behind has ample time to overtake us and win the prize simply because we are continually dwelling in the past. So many of us take up our time trying to get the best of others by trying to tell how much we are superior to him or how much he is inferior to us. This seldom wins out. If he is better or worse is no buisness of ours so far as the race is concerned, except for us to put forth every honorable effort to win. If he is better than us to win shows the stuff we are made of; if he is worse, then we should exert ourselves to win on our merits and not because we have the better of him in the race, for we know in the beginning that he is weak. There are many opportunities for our young men and women and there is no necessity whatever for us to get in each other's way. The fields are white with opportunities and all we have to do is to embrace them. This world yields its treasure only to those who toil for them. There is no easy road to either education or wealth. Ambition takes toll from all alike, whether black or white and yields only to them who pursue it with all the power there is in them. So take courage, look ahead, not back, up not down, out, not in and in the language of the C. E., "Lend a hand." ONE OF THE BEST AND BRAVEST. John Brown, in introducing Harriet Tubman to Wendell Philips said: "I bring you one of the best and bravest persons on this continent." And, William H. Seward, a cabinet officer of President Lincoln, said: "I have known Harriet long, and a nobler, higher spirit, or a truer one, seldom dwells in human from." This grand old Negro Woman, from the soil of Maryland, now nearly a hundred years old, is a livins witness of the high class of colored persons who lived under slavery, and who, in their own personalities, declared to the world the rich possibilities of the Nergo race. As often as we read the history and triumphs of just such characters as Harriet Tubman we feel grieved and humiliated at the cowardly disposition of so many of our people of education, and superior advantages. If a recital of their heroic acts, under the most unfavorable conditions, does not enkindle within us a true love of our people, then we are not fit for freedom. Love and self-saerifice must go hand in hand if we have the proper spirit, and, having the proper spirit we shall certainly share the boldness, zeal, faith and endeavor which characterised our noble forbears. If we are but time servers, and lovers of ease and pleasure, we shall, in due season, be exterminated by our own folly. We have so often asserted through these columns, our own real hindrance is not from without, but in ourselves. We are lacking in that downright honesty, sincerity, and single-mindedness which characterised our slave ancestors. With all our learning and opportunities, we need seriously to appreciate this significant fact, and strenuously aim after the highest integrity and moral rectitudes. Without such an equipment we shall certainly go down and not go up. Harriet Tubman first escaped from a Maryland plantation in 1849, and made her way to Philadelphia, where she went to work for wages. With the money she earned, she returned to Baltimore in 1850 and abducted her sister and two children. A few months she went back for a party of three. In her nineteen excursions altogether, she liberated over three hundred slaves. All the money she earned between times went toward these excursions. At the first she was in the habit of seeing her charges from the slave country up to an underground station, but as she came to understand the severity of the fugitive slave law, she led them all the way to Canada. She always made it a point to start on Saturday night, so that the caravan could be well along the road before the advertising bills could appear She often hired Negroes, moreover, to tear down these bills as fast as they were put up. If there were babies in the party she would frequently drug them and carry them along in baskets. If she had to slip away at any time for supplies, she would herald her return to the party in the thickets with some camp-meeting hymns. She knew the value of discipline and maintained a strenn control over her charges. She would draw her revolver upon the faint hearted and exclaim, "Dead Niggers tell no tales--you go on or die." Her intuition steered her away from many dangers which would have otherwise destroyed her. Thomas Garret, the Quaker, said of her, "I never met any person of any color who had more confidence in the voice of God as spoken to her soul." And, Harriet's own explanation of her action was, "Jes so long as He wanted me to use, He would take keer of me and when He didn't want me any longer I was ready to go." Her depredations among the slaves of Maryland became so great that at one time there was a price of $40,000 placed on her head, dead or alive. But she was never taken. The race that can produce such characters as Harriet Tubman ought not to be ashamed of itself. The lesson is obviously plain. We have done well industrially and intellectually, but the increase of our moral power has not been commensurate with our progress in other directions. Some may question this statement, but the proof of the correctness of our contention is overwhelmingly enoclusive in one respect alone. If the moral energy of the race had kept apace with our progress in other directions, then there would be little need to-day to urge our people to combine in fighting the various manifestations of the caste-spirit which obtrudes itself every turn of the way. We need more earnestly to draw out the fullness of all our moral powers. PREFERRED PROVIDENT TO WHITE HOSPITAL Late Literary News While our rich are trying to get away from the city, our poor are being driven to the city in ever denser throngs by the lash of poverty. But there is no reason why the poor people should not escape to the country also. I have known a good many who have managed it; I have managed it myself at various times in my life; and as this is the season of the year when the country calls us most invitingly, I thought that some of my readers might be interested in an account of my experiments. In my early student days I always got away to the country as soon as the snow was off the ground, and sometimes a little sooner. I have lived in tents, and even in old abandoned sheds; sometimes I have lived by hunting and fishing entirely, and again I have lived by the income from half a day's farm work every now and then. There is no ordinarily healthy man, and few ordinarily healthy women who cannot do the same. Indeed, if I had to go through with these experiments all over again, I would make my home a tent in the country, not six months in the year, but twelve; and neither would I have to go to Florida or to California in order to enjoy it. One can earn enough during the harvesting season alone to keep himself throughout the year, if he understands how to make his money last; and there are many districts in the country where one can find work to do in the winter time as well—From Physical Culture for June.

E FORD Presiding Elder Baltimore District PREFERRED PROVIDENT TO WHITE HOSPITALS White Patient Successfully Operated Upon by Dr. William E. Harris at the Provident Hospital. With but two or three exceptions, all of the local hospitals admit colored patients, but seldom or never do you hear of any white patient preferring the Provident Hospital, which is managed by the race. Mrs. Katie Ulrich is the exception to this, however. Early in April she was taken ill and summoned Dr. Wm. E. Harris, who found out that she had some intestinal obstruction. He told her that she would have to undergo an operation, but he was uncertain as to its successful outcome. She agreed to the operation and expressed a preference for the Provident Hospital. When her relatives were apprised of her intention they opposed it and vowed that they would not visit her at the hospital. She was admitted to the hospital on April 7th, last. In preparing his patient for the operation, Dr. Harris realized that a storm of protest would follow an unsuccessful outcome, and he went about his duty with no little apprehension. The operation was successful, however, but her relatives did not visit her. After a time, when Mrs. Ulrich's family commenced to hear of her anticipated recovery, they began to visit her, and of late have been coming regularly. The patient has progressed lso nicely that she will be discharged in a few days. Appointments Made Rev .Dr. E. W. Scott, president of the Colored Methodist Protestant Conference, has made assignments of pastors for the ensuing year, as follows: Tyson Church, West Roland Park, Alfred Baker; Mt.

HARRIS ANNUAL MEETING OF HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI Mr. James Callis, the New President, Pleads For A More Fraternal Spirit In The That the Alumni Association of the Colored High School should meet more frequently, as well as inaugurate some work of importance to the community at large, was urged by a number of the graduates of the school at the annual meeting of the Association Wednesday.

High School Wins at Baseball.

The occasion was the thirty-fourth birthday of the popular young minister. The presentation speech was made by Mr. Harry Johnson, a member of the board of trustees of the church. It is absolutely impossible to say just when the first circulating library was opened. If there was ever a record of the important event, it is lost. We know that during the middle ages stairways used to lend books on hire, and here, no doubt, we have the germ of the modern circulating library. One Samuel Fancourt started a real circulating library in England about the year 1740, but it appears that the people were not ready for it, since it soon failed. Similar institutions at Bath and London, some ten years later, seem to have succeeded, and from that time the circulating library began to get a foofhold, not only in England, but in other European countries. CLOSING EXERCISES OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mr. J. R. Paul Brock Delivers Address To Students At Sparrows Point The public schools closed for the summer recess yesterday, and more than 10,000 pupils, as well as teachers, will have a summer respite from the school-room. While the great majority of these pupils will return for another year, numbers of them have gone to school for the last time. Promotions were announced in each grade and as the pupils filed out of the schools many smiling faces could be seen. Here and here, a sad face of someone who had failed of promotion, was noticed. The great majority of the pupils in the High School, were promoted to higher classes and quite a number, including the lixty-two graduates. bid their last farewell as pupils in a public school. More than 100 pupils were promoted from the eighth grade to the High School. School No. 115. Closing exercises for school No. 115. Waverly, were held Wednesday night. A varied musical and literary program was presented by the students. Vice Principal, John W. Woodhous introduced Group Principal Harry T. Pratt, who conferred certificates upon the following eighth grade graduates: William I. Williams, James Wesley Powell, Thomas H. Mack, John Matthews, Drunell L. Owens, Ella May Owens, Katherine Robertson, Margaret Robertson Margaret Robinson, Beatrice A. Howard, Mary E. Earls, Bertha M. Thompson, Helen A, C0ner and Florence M. Turner. Commencement At Sparrows Point The annual commencement exercises of the public school at Sparrows Point were held at the Union Baptist Church, Sparrows Point, Wednesday night. Principal Henry J. Lowers presided. Several choruses were sung by the students under the direction of Prof. R. N. Moore. Miss Mazie Hicks recited "A Day In June" and Mr. George Wilson gave a declaration on "Education of the masses. The address to the graduates was delivered by Prof. J. R. Paul Brock, vice principal of the Teachers' Training School, Baltimore. He declared that life presented many more problems for solution than did the school-room and that one must be mentally alert to solve them. "The problem for our people," he said, "is not one of individual support, for every colored man, woman and youth is able to take care of himself, but it is helping your neighbor. When we can spare something that we have for the general good of all, then we are reaching that period of co-operative help for mutual good." Prof. D. S. S. Goodloe, principal of the new Colored State Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered an address in which he urged the people to allow their children to complete their education in his school. Mr. Quincy Best, assistant to the president of the Maryland Steel Company, in awarding the diplomas to the graduates, urged that the parents keep their children in school during the full course. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. R. R. Riggs. An exhibition of the manual training work of the pupils of the school preceded the exercises. The graduates were: Minnie E. Booker, Rufus O. Wilson, Mazie E. Ricks, George H. Wilson. An Employee Honored Serving continuously 43 years, and with the remarkable record of having been absent only 8 weeks during the entire period. Mr. Benjamin Welch,11 36 Etting street, now retired, was presented at his residence with a handsome rocking chair, by the officials and employees of the Northern Central Railroad Company. The presentation was made by Mr. Langford, who in emminently befitting language expressed the esteem by which he was held and the excellent record established was worthy of emmulation by his fellow employees.

Vessels large may venture more, but little boats should keep near shore.—Franklin. Humor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH A MAN can't understand why a woman fusses around with her face, but watch him hustle for help when he finds the thatch leaking atop his head. Useless to try to make a married woman believe in masculine angels. A woman blames mother-in-law for husband's shortcomings and daughter-in-law for can's. It often costs a lot of hard cash to convince some men that they can't pick a winner. When a man can't make a large enough fool of himself he gets a woman to help, and the community is usually satisfied with the result. Most of the men who yell for opportunity wouldn't know one if it came under the guise of work. When a woman can't think of anything else to do she worries because Johnny hasn't had measles yet. A woman can wear any old thing to weekly prayer meeting, but if she hasn't a new outfit for Easter Sunday she finds it necessary to get the dinner herself. Well trained. "So you are his sixth wife?" "Yes." "It must be hard to please him." "I please him? He minds automatically." Some Records An ingenious citizen of Virginia having stolen 1,000 chickens is rated as the champion chicken thief of the country. As he stole most of them one at a time he must have had some busy nights. But after a man has been at anything for a long while he begins to look on it as his trade, and probably our hero went to his task each night as cheerfully as the ordinary man trots off in the morning with his dinner pail. He must have been at it nearly every night, for a man like that if he skipped one moonlight evening would hate to have his children crying for chicken and to hear his wife say: "There ain't none. Your pa was too lazy last night to bring one home." Doubtless in time he felt that his calling was as legitimate as some of the trust magnates come to regard theirs.

WASHINGTON PAYS TRIBUTE TO FOUNDER OF THE WILBER FORCE UNIVER- Eminent Tuskegeean Bitterly Assails Those of the Race Who Would Rather Be a Third-rate White Man Than A First-rate Black Man-Vast Fields In Every Line of Endeavor Awaiting The Ambitious Negro (Special to The Mid-American Ledger) Wilberforce, Ohio, June 19. Booker T. Washington, head of the famous Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered the principal address at the Centennial Celebrationh in honor Bishop Daniel A. Payne, founder and Bishop of the A. M. E. Church before a large audience of white and colored people. The exercises were held in connection with the forty-eighth annual commencement of Wilberforce University which was also founded by Bishop Payne. Dr. Washington emphasized the opportunities offered the colored people in the South and said in part: "I am glad to be in the State of Ohio again and at the University of Wilberforce. I am glad to have a part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, founder of Wilberforce University and one of the leading spirits in the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. "Bishop Payne was a great man, a man of character, a man of vision. It is impossible for any individual of any race to have any large degree of success without vision; without faith in the present and faith in the future. There is little room in this world for the pessimist; for the man who has no faith in the present or in the future. I repeat that Bishop Payne was a man of vision. We as a race, must follow his example and to be a race and to possess visions we must believe in the present and future. Without faith in his race and in his country Bishop Payne could never have laid the foundation of Wilberforce University so securely as he did. "I have but little doubt, but way back in the days of slavery, when the foundations of this institution were laid, Bishop Payne pictured even to himself then the spacious grounds, the well-planned and well-equipped buildings, the industrial and academic departments of this institution, as they exist to-day in such flourishing condition. We have little doubt but that he pictured to himself that the day would come when on commencement occasions there would be gathered here thousands, as there are to-day, of the best types of white and black people representing the State of Ohio and nearly every section of the country. "I have little doubt but that Bishop Daniel A. Payne saw in a vision a time when there would be few in any part of America to rise and oppose the education of the Negro, whether it be industrial education, academic education or professional education. "I sometimes fear that we, as a race, do not rightly appreciate the advantages and opportunities which we enjoy in this country. Since the great bulk of our people, 9,000,000 at least, reside in the Southern States, you must excuse me if I dwell a good deal in what I shall say upon the opportunities afforded our people in the Southern States; 29 C.JHS. 211 opportunities for development in material, education, professional and religious directions. "In numbers, we constitute, as it were, a nation within ourselves. We are 10,000,000 strong. Canada has only 7,000,000 of people; Australia 4,000,000, Belgium 7,000,000 and Holland 5,000,000. The combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark is about equal to the population of the black race in America. We must learn to use the strength of numbers and improve our condition. "This means that we should cultivate in an increasing degree in every part of the country, pride of race. If there is any one human being whom I detest, it is the man or woman who is ashamed of the race to which he or she belongs; who is all the time trying to get away from the race; who would rather be a third rate whitenman than a first-rate black man. The Negro in America must learn to have as much pride in his race as the Frenchman or the German or the Irishman has in his racial identity. 'There is a passage in the scripture which reads something like this: The heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.' I believe that the heavens are just as truly open to-day as they were thousands of years ago; that we can see visions of God just as truly as the prophets of old did thousands of years ago; and we must begin to see these visions before it is too late. Let us open our eyes and see the visions that are in the South in the direction of opportunity for material advancement. "The foreigners who are fast flocking into the Southern States see these visions and the Negro must see them or the time will come when he will be shut out from the many opportunities now offered him in the Southland. "I know of no one influence, no one element that would add more to the independence and progress of the 9,000,000 of Negroes in the South, than for us to have, within the next 20 years, 100,000 to 2000,000 more intelligent, successful, independent farmers scattered throughout this country; and these farmers should not be composed of the ignorant element of the race, but should composed of the educated element of our race. "Our vision need not be limited to owning and cultivating the soil. There are great opportunities in the direction of manufacturing. Within the past 25 years, the cotton manufacturing center of the country has moved from New England into North Carolina and South Carolina. It is not necessary THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER for the Negro to confine himself to the mere matter of cotton raising. He can advocate cotton manufacture in some form. 'The Negro both in this and other countries, is a great consumer of cotton goods. Here is another field for the energetic, capable, pushing, educated colored man. Heretofore, in too large a degree, our educated men have felt that they must either teach or preach, and not enter the field of commerce. If we do not want to go into either agriculture or manufacturing, there is a vast field open for the educated colored man in the direction of merchandising. With such a field as we have open in the South there is no reason why any energetic intelligent, and educated man need go about looking for a job. He can create a job for himself, and when he creates his own job, he gets into a position of power and independence, and is not dependent upon the political whims of parties or color predjudice. There are places in the South for 5,000 additional dry goods stores, and there are colored people enough to support these stores. "There are openings in the South for at least 8,000 additional grocery stores. There are openings in the South for 2000 shoe stores, 2,000 millinery stores and there are colored communities in the south where 2,000 additional Negro banks can be opened and supported. Further than this, there are places in the South where, at least 75 self-governing, self-supporting and self-directing towns or cities may be established where the colored people can have their own mayor, their own board of aldermen, their own self-government from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-government is the most precious kind of self-government. If none of these openings suit the ambition of our colored men and women, there is another field that is ripe for the harvest, that of education. There are a million and a half Negro children of school age who do not enter any school in the South, and there are hundreds of thousands of others who are in school only three out of the twelve months. We need 30,000 additional school houses built in the. South and we need at least 20,000 additional Negro school teachers. But if the vision of the educated colored man cannot be realized in any of the callings to which I have referred, there are still further callings in the South. I refer to the opportunities in professional directions. There are individual locations in the South for at least 2,500 additional doctors and 3,000 additional pharmacists, 2,000 additional dentists, and 1,000 veterinary surgeons. "In the lines of religious activities and service, I want the young colored men and women to see the vision aside from the opportunity to preach the gospel. Wherever in any community there are 2500 or more colored people, they are capable of supporting a Y.M.C.A. building. There are 56 cities in the country, at least, where Y. M. C. A. buildings could be established and supported. "We must not become discouraged by racial relations. True, we have prejudice to contend with in the South and elsewhere. The color line is often unjustly drawn throughout the country. We have to endure injustice; we have to contend with injustice, but instead of letting prejudices discourage us, we should use it as a spur to urge us on to higher efforts, to renewed enterprise. "All races that have achieved success have come up through ownership of the soil, through manufacturing, through merchandise, through making themselves strong in education, and in moral and religious directions; and lastly they have come up through fighting prejudice. Out of the fight they have gained a strength and an experience that they would not have gotten except for racial prejudice. We are inclined to grow despondent or discouraged. Let us compare the present with the past; let us compare the meager and circumscribed opportunities which surrounded a marvel like Bishop Daniel A. Payne with these we enjoy in America. "Who would have thought that within less than 50 years after our race became free, that the time would come when we would have a president of the United States who was strong and brave enough to appoint a colored man to the position of Assistant Attorney General of the United States; who would have thought that within so short a period of time we would have produced a colored man who in education and refinement, and culture, was capable of filling such a position, and yet we have found within less than fifty years, in President William Howard Taft, a President who was capable of making the appointment, and in the person of William Henry Lewis, we have found the colored man capable of filling the position. When such occurrences take place within so short a period of time, who will dare to be so short-sighted and faithless as to grow discouraged? Truly we are living in an era when old men shall dream dreams and young men shall see visions."

Results of the, Past Show to What Extent Afro-Americans Are Helping to Maintain Their Own Educational Institutions In the South—How the Teachers Are Paid. Tuscumbia, Ala.—Flow Afro-Americans in the south are anxious for school facilities and eager to avail themselves of every opportunity to increase those facilities when the way is pointed out by a wise and conscientious leader is shown fully in the work of Professor G. W. Trenholm, who for fifteen years has been principal of the city high school for colored people in Tuscumbia. The city school of Tuscumbia employs, besides Principal Trenholm, six teachers, but the city, which is a small one, has only funds enough to pay the salaries of four. The salary of the other two is supplemented by the colored citizens of Tuscumbia, notwithstanding they already pay their quota of taxes into the public treasury. The local board is composed of some of the best men in the city, who are known for their public spiritlessness, among them being A. E. Eggleston, Mingo White, W. P. Brown, Charles W. Carus, Dr. A. W. Davis, Judge Johnson, Flem Fort, Frank Meredith, Horace Morse, Ernest Robinson, Thomas Waddle, William Flood, Henry Griffin, Charles Sherrod and John Halley. The board is responsible for the salary of a teacher in the high school department and one in the primary department and raises this money by meetings held in the three churches every fifth Sunday, by entertainments and by personal subscriptions. For the scholastic year ending May 23. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing forward.] PROFESSOR G. W. TRENHOLM. 1910, the board expended in these two salaries and in improvements on the school building nearly $800. This effort more than anything else shows to what extent the colored people in the south are learning to help themselves. In this work the guiding hand of Professor Trenholm can be seen. The school in Tusembia was like the average colored school in the south when he took charge, but he has worked steadily, gained the confidence of his fellow citizens, white and black, and is recognized as one of the foremost educators in the state. Professor Trenholm is a graduate of the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Normal and holds the degree of master of science. He has done considerable postgraduate work in the Chicago university and in Columbia. During the last session of the Alabama State Teachers' association Professor Trenholm was unanimously elected president for a term of two years. He is on the advisory board of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, located at Normal, and served in that capacity during the administration of the late President Council. Honor Men at Lincoln University. At the recent commencement exercises at Lincoln university the degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon the Rev. William A. Creditt, D. D., of Philadelphia, a former graduate. There were twenty-seven in the graduating class. The Latin sanitary was delivered by Willard J. McLean of South Carolina and the valudictory address by Alken A. Pope of Georgia. The three other honor men who spoke were John B. Bell. Arkansas: John H. Bongs. Georgia, and Theophilus Nichols, British Guiana. The Gift of a True Philanthropist. The Julia White Priscilla Home For Aged Colored People was recently dedicated at La Mott, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia. The institution is named for its founder, who died before the work was completed. Mrs. White was a philanthropist in the truest sense. The work of the home is being looked after at present by the Zion Baptist church. Philadelphia, of which the Rev. D. E. Moore is pastor. bereed every holiday by some of the members of this church. Rev. Dr. Wallace was called to the First Calvary church of Norfolk, Va., where he now pastors, October, 1905. He took up the work here March 18, 1905, and has since been well anchored in the hearts of the people of Norfolk, having the largest following of any pastor in the city. He has proved himself to be an evangelist as well as a pastor, having added hundreds of people to the church since beginning his work here. His sermons are both logical and instructive, and his bearers are always pleased to hear him. On one occasion he preached a sermon, subject "The Sins of the City," that was so far reaching in its effect upon the people of the city that he was required to reproach the same, which he dealt with telling effect. So great was the interest manifested upon the rejection of this great sermon that the church could not accommodate the surging crowd that came out to hear him. Greater success is predicted for Dr. Wallace in his field of labor here in the future. RACE BENEFACTOR IN NEED. Attention Called to Apparent Pennillea Condition of Harriet Tuhman, Condition of Harriet Tubman, the veteran anti-slavery worker, underground railroad promoter, civil war spy in the Union army and otherwise benefactor of our race, is almost penniless in an institution at Auburn, N. Y. Now, this condition ought not to exist when we have so many charitable and benevolent organizations fully able to financier a matter of this kind. There are two great organizations of colored women in this country, besides numerous smaller organizations, which might investigate this matter and see to it that this grand old heroine, pathfinder and precursor in many good movements for the race should not in her old age suffer for the necessities of life. Where is the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs? Where is the Northwestern Federation of Women's Clubs? Either of them could provide a comfortable living for Mrs. Tubman. This matter ought to be looked at once. It would be a disgrace to our race if Mother Tubman were to die for want of proper attention in the evening of her useful life. RISING YOUNG MUSICAL GENIUS' BRIGHT FUTURE. Brilliant Work of Miss Marie Burton Praised by Mme. Hackley. Young, handsome, ambitious, a star at twenty, Miss Marie Burton of Chicago has broken many records as a songstress. She is perhaps the youngest singer who has ever faced a New York pre-lenten audience. The celebrated Herman de Vries was her instructor, and she has sung before such critics as Andreas Dippel and Signor Gatti Casazza of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. Even Mme. Azilia Hackley, known for years as the leading singer of the race, graciously yielded Miss Burton the palm—"She will in time far surpass me." Marie Burton was born in Chicago in 1890 and attended the public schools. She studied music under a private tutor and led the singing in Grace Presbyterian Sunday school. In 1900 she entered the Chicago Musical college and graduated in 1902. Further study was prevented by the death of her father. Williams and Walker wished to engage her, but the young woman aspired to a greater field than comedy. In 1908, a year before she graduated, Miss Burton represented Chicago at Mine, Hackley's musical festival at the Philadelphia Academy of Music. In 1910 she went to New York and was a star at the pre-Lenten. She spent two months in New York, enhancing her reputation. When Professor Harry T. Burleigh was unable to keep an engagement to sing at the exclusive Dutch Chapel church in Brooklyn he asked Miss Burton to take his place. She so captivated the audience that a member of the Vanderbilt family rushed up and pinned a bouquet of orchids upon her corsage. In the colored social circles of New York Miss Burton became a lioness and could not keep half the engagements that were thrust upon her. Press comments on Miss Burton's voice have been without exception laudatory. The Chicago Evening News praised her. The Boston Guardian said that her voice was full of power and promise. The Record-Herald called her a dramatic soprano of unusual ability, and the Amsterdam News was even more complimentary. Race Prejudice In United States Army. That race prejudice in America is not confined solely to Afro-Americans is plintely seen in the case of Private Frank Bloom, who is a Hebrew by race, stationed, with his regiment, at Fort Myer, Va. Bloom is seeking promotion, and in considering his application the commanding officer is said to have disapproved of it on the ground that Bloom is a Hebrew and therefore will not make a "desirable social associate." Next Field Day to Be Hold In Brooklyn The next annual field day of the famous Third regiment of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held in Brooklyn on Thursday, May 30, 1912. The lodges in Greater New York will there have an opportunity to show the fidelity such hospitality as has been their wont to do, for a long time. ENTHUSIASM IN CHURCH WORK Remarkable Career of the Rev. Dr. P. J. Wallace, Who Has Successfully Pastored Many Churches—Effect of His Sermon on the Sins of Norfolk. His Future Is Bright. Norfolk, Va.—The recent celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Rev. Dr. P. J. Wallace's pastorate of the Calvary Baptist church, in Norfolk, which was held for two weeks, was marked by great enthusiasm and zeal by the members of the church, visiting clergymen and friends throughout the city. Among the participants were some of the oldest divines in the state, who preached logical sermons and eloquently enologized the life of Mr. Wallace, who has wrought such great work in this and other communities. Special [Name] REV. DR. P. J. WALLACE. features of the services were the anniversary sermon, which was preached by the Rev. E. Payne, D. D., of Richmond, Va., and music by the several choirs that combined to make that important part of the services a complete success. All of his co-pastors in the city united in doing honor to the occasion, and each one was a participant in the services. The most notable event of the occasion was the outpouring of the spirit and the conversion of many souls to Christ. The Rev. Mr. Wallace was ordained to the gospel ministry Dec. 18, 1855, and first pastored the Shiloh Baptist church of Yorktown, Va., where he built a beautiful gothic framed church at a cost of $3,000, and second, the First Shiloh Baptist church of Hanover county, Va., and built a nice frame church, which is a pride to the people, leaving it clear of debt. He also pastored the Mount Olive Baptist church in King William county, Va. Realizing that he could do more efficient work in the gospel ministry with A. MRS. P. J. WALLACE. a helpmate, in July, 1900, he married Miss Eliza Quarles, an accomplished young woman, a member and faithful worker of the Fifth Street Baptist church of Richmond, Va., who has since been his willing assistant in all that he has undertaken. His fourth call was extended to him from the St. Paul's Baptist church, New York city, in 1901. At this time he was attending the Virginia Union university, where he had returned to take a postgraduate course. He found the St. Paul's church with an actual membership of about thirty-five worshiping in a dance hall which cost $105 per month for rent. After laboring with them about four years and a half he left them in their own place of worship, valued at $25,000, and a membership of 450. They have never accepted his resignation, and he is remem- GOLDEN TEXT—"What Doth the Lord Require of Thee, but to Do Justly, and to Love Mercy, and to Walk Humbly With Thy God."—Mie. 6S. Different forms of review are suited to classes of different ages and different degrees of development, so that a variety of methods is suggested below. Some of these plans may need to be united with others to fill out the session, and any other charges and adaptations of them may be made that seem best to the teacher. The quarter's lessons have taken up six books of the Old Testament. There have been five lessons in Second Kings, two in Second Chronicle, two in Isaiah, and one each in Jonah, Micah and Hosea. Select six members of the class and have each write a three-minute essay on one of these books, telling about the general course of the lessons or lesson from that book, and the teachings brought out therein. Let the class listen carefully to each essay, and at the close doate a set of questions, which you have written beforehand, on the quarter's lessons as a whole, having the class write answers to the questions as they are read. The teacher will write on slips of cardboard or heavy manila paper a series of questions on the lessons of the quarter, about five questions on each lesson. These questions will cover the principal facts of the lessons, and will be so framed that the answers can be very brief, yet adequate. Lay the slips of paper, face down, on the class table or on a large book held in the lap, mix them up, and have the class draw them one at a time, in turn. The scholar that draws a question will read it aloud, and then answer it. If he can, retaining the slip. If he does not answer correctly, or at all, the next on his left will try to answer it, and so on around the class. The scholar that answers it will hold the slip, and the scholar that holds the largest number at the end of the recitation is declared the victor in the little contest. Announce this plan a week in advance, that the class may study for it. Take a series of lesson pictures. Obliterate the titles of the pictures, and fasten a bit of ribbon to each. Place the pictures in a box open at the end, and let the ribbons extend outside. The scholars will draw these pictures out one after the other, each scholar telling the class about the lesson to which his pictures belong, holding up the picture as he does so. After the pictures have been used once, if there is time they may be returned to the box and the exercise may be repeated. This form of review is especially adapted to the primary department. The class will be divided, at least a week in advance, into two sides, each side with a leader. The sides will meet by themselves and each prepare a series of questions on all the lessons of the quarter. The teacher will meet with each side and make sure that the questions are fair ones, and clearly expressed. On review day the two sides will sit facing each other. One side, through its leader, will propose a question to the other side, which will answer if it can, speaking always through its leader, but always after consultation with the rest of the side. Then the second side will propose a question to the first side, and so on, alternating. If the answer is wrong, the side that proposed the question scores a point; if fairly wrong, half a point. The side that is defeated may be required to give a social, at the teacher's home, to the other side. This review, which is especially suited to adult classes, consists of a series of essays or talks on the principal topics of the various lessons. As far as possible, the speakers will choose their topics or lessons, but the teacher will have a list ready for suggestion. The following list will be an aid: I.—The Healing Side of Religion. II.—Our Unseen Defenders. III.—Startling the Young in Their Lives. IV.—Our Care for God's House. V.—The Universality of Christianity. VI.—The Perils of Pride. VII.—Our Work for Our Country. VIII.—Temperature Work Needed Today. IX.—The Madness of Militarism. X.—God's Forgiveness, and How to Obtain It. XI.—Reform Methods That Succeed. XII.—The Final Results of Sin. The Same Lord. The Lord we have known as laying down his life for us is the same Lord we have to do with every day of our life, and all his dealings with us are on the same principles of grace. The great secret of growth is looking up to the Lord as gracious. How precious, how strengthening it is to know that Jesus is at this moment feeling and exercising the same love towards us as when he died on the cross for us. Have a Purpose. Live for something.

Bragg declared that two or more churches of the same denomination should combine to pay for the salaries of some well-equipped man, who could go into the homes and have talks with women.
