THE AFFAIR AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXIII. NO. 32 REV.W.T.CARR PASSES AWAY REV.W.T.CARR PASSES AWAY Was One of the Oldest Presbyterian Minieters in the Country. Rev. Dr. William T. Carr, one of the oldest Presbyterian ministers in the country, died at the residence of his son, Dr. William T. Carr, Jr., 515 Mosher street, Monday morning. He had been in ill health for some months, but was only brought here from his home in Concord, N. C., several weeks ago. The deceased was born in this city 77 years ago. He was tutored under prominent pastors of local white Presbyterian churches, after which he taught school at Port Deposit. Md. John W. Martin, of this city, was a pupil of the deceased. He and his first wife, who was a Miss Spriggs, opened a school in Madison Street Presbyterian church over 50 years ago. It was known as the Madison Institute, and there a number of the Baltimoreans received their education. Dr. Carr received his theological training at the Western Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh. He was graduated in 1864, and became pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church, remaining until 1867. For ten years or more, he was pastor of the Elizabeth (N. J.) Colored Presbyterian Church, and his exceptional scholarship in the Hebrew language and literature caused his fellow ministers to elect him as examiner in Hebrew for the Elizabeth Presbytery. In this connection a number of students of Princeton Theological Seminary appeared before him for examination in Hebrew, preparatory to their entrance into the ministry. Dr. Carr was one of that group of successful Baltimoreans who received their early training under one of the Watkinses, teachers in private schools more than a half century ago. He had been honored by Lincoln University with the degree of master of arts and by Biddle University with the degree of doctor of divinity. His first wife was educated at the Wells School, in Boston, Mass., and was a prize winner there in 1859. For more than a decade he had been pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, Concord, N. C., and was also pastor at Scotia Seminary, a school for girls at that place. His second wife, Mrs. Susan Beauchamp Carr; two sons, James D. Carr, assistant corporation counsel for New York city, and Dr. William T. Carr, Jr., and two grandchildren survive. Funeral services were held at Madison Street Presbyterian Church Thursday afternoon. The principal eulogy was delivered by Rev. Dr. L. Z Johnson. Rev. W. Edward Williams also delivered a brief eulogy. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery. MORGAN COLLEGE MOURNS Mrs. Imogene Frances Young, wife of Rev. Charles Edmund Young, D. D., dean of Morgan College, died at their home in the college Thursday, Maren 25. Mrs. Young was the daughter of Hon. George Koonce, who was at one time a member of the Senate of West Virginia. She was born in Greenfield, Bond county, Illinois, but at an early age removed to Harper's Ferry, West Va. She was educated from the Woman's College, of Frederick, Md. Mrs. Young was a faithful wife and companion for over forty years twenty-seven of which was spent with Dr. Young while he was connected with Morgan College. Services were held in the chapel of the college last Friday afternoon March 26. Dr. J. C. Nicholson, of Harlem Park Methodist Episcopal Church delivered the eulogy. Interment was in Harper Cemetery, Harper's Ferry, W. Va.,last Saturday. HEALTH CONFERENCE TO BE PERMANENT AFFAIR. As a result of the great success of the health conference and exhibit at Bethel A. M.

New York, April 1.—At a hearing arranged for by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the City Hall Tuesday, Mayor Mitchell in the presence of a delegation of over 200 people, listened to a series of brief addresses by some of the most distinguished colored and white citizens of Greater New York who urged upon him the importance of suppressing the moving picture play, "The Birth of a Nation," which is based on Dixon's "Clamsmen" and which is being given at the Liberty Theatre. The speakers, who were introduced by Prof. J. E. Soingarn represented the colored and white ministry of Greater New York, the Citizens' Club of Brooklyn, the committee of one hundred of Hudson county, N. J., the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, the United Civic League, the Columbus Hill Civic League, and the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs. They included: Dr. Frederick C. Howe, chairman of the National Board of Censorship; Dr William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church; Miss Lillian D. Wald, head of the Henry Street Settlement; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi of the Free Synagogue; Fred R. Moore of the New York Age; George E. Wibecan, president of the Brooklyn Citizens' Club; and Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard. All protested against the film on the grounds that it was not only vicious and defamatory but unjust and untrue, portraying in contrast to the highest types of the white race and only the grotesque and criminal in the colored race. The same method, it was pointed out, could be used to caricature any race. Coming just at this time, Dr. Wise said, when we witnessing in Europe the frightful effects of the breedings of hate and prejudice, this film is peculiarly dangerous in the inflammatory appeal it makes. Other speakers went on to show that it was not an insult to colored people only but to the entire city where representatives of many races lived in peace and harmony, and that if the play continued in its present form it might lead to a breach of the peace. Mayor Mitchel was urged to realize that his decision would be of the greatest significance not only to the relation of the races in this city but in the entire country. The Mayor told the large gathering that he had seen the film and that he agreed with all that had been said about it. He felt that it might perhaps insite to breaches of the peace and had already so advised the management of the theatre and the owners of the film; the latter had consented to cut the two scenes which had been particularly objected to and the play would be produced in that form for the first time Tuesday night. This, the Mayor was careful to say, had been done without any attempt on his part to exercise any power he might be given by statute. The breadth and force of such powers were indoubt, he said, but if it were found necessary to take the matter up again he would take such steps as were authorized by law. INHERITS $75,000 FORTUNE. St. Louis, Mo., April 1.—Salena Virginia Reber, aged 11 years, has inherited $75,000 from her godfather, James M. Wilson. She says she is going to college. CURTISS SEGREGATION LAW BEING TESTED. Arguments for and against the validity of the Curtis Segregation law were made before Judge Stump, in the Criminal Court, Thursday. The case grew out of the rental by Charles Norton to Thomas Jackson of the propriety at 1638 Baker street, corner of Mount. The entrance to the house was changed from Baker to Mount street in order to allow Jackson claim the house was in a "colored" block the State contended. The defendants' attorneys filed demurrers to the indictments claiming that the segregation law is invalid. Attorney Hawkins, in an oral argument, cited numerous authorities to show that the segregation law is invalid. Judge Stump reserved his decision. Should Judge Stump rule sustain the demurrers the law will be declared invalid. Whichever way the case goes, it will finally reach the Court of Appeals for final adjudication. N. A. THOMAS AT FIRST PUBLIC LECTURE The first of a series of public lectures to be given as an extension of the work of the public night schools will take place at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E Zion Church next Thursday night. Prof. Neval H. Thomas, a teacher in one of the Washington high schools, will deliver an illustrated lecture that evening on "The Wonders of Egypt." The following evening Prot. P. D. G. Pennington will speak on "The Economic Importance of Insects." On Thursday, April 22, Prof. Leslie P. Hill, of the Cheyenne Institute, will deliver an address on "Some Special Equipment needed by the Negro Teacher," and at the concluding lecture the following Thursday, Dr. R. R. Wright, of Philadelphia, editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, will speak on "Some Psychological Influences in Race Education." BISHOP GRANSTON TO PRESIDE.

Louisville, Ky., April 1.—The colored residents of the city are aroused over the proposal to have the entrance of the new high school on North street, instead of Chestnut. A protest has been made to the School Board that any change made to suit the whims of prejudiced whites would be a slap at the colored people. ELECTED TO GREEK FRATERNITY Amherst, Mass., April 1.—Charles H. Houston has, as a reward for his scholastic attainments been elected a member of the Pai Beta Kappa Greek fraternity at Amherst College. He has been one of the 15 seniors chosen from whom the class orators will be selected. Young Houston is a son of William L. Houston, of Washington, past grand master of the Odd Fellows. WILLIAM R.

PRICE THREE CENTS CANDIDATE FOR FIRST BRANCH CITY COUNCIL 14TH WARD SUBJECT TO PRIMARY ELECTION APRIL 6,1915 CONTEST HOT AS CAMPAIGN ENDS The Fourteenth Ward fight for the Republican nomination for First Branch City Council assumed a lively aspect this week. On Monday night the friends of Attorney George W. F. McMechen had a rousing meeting at Norwood's Hall. A number of residents urged that the voters of the ward should support Mr. McMechen, thereby giving the race a chance for another City Councilman. One man at the meeting struck a discordant note by a severe arraignment of those whom he regards as not being in accord with him. Councilman Binswanger held a rousing meeting Tuesday night. He accused Dr. Leon Robinson, one of the Republican candidates, of voting for a Democrat in 1907. Dr. Robinson, who was present, denied the charge, using the short and ugly word. A battery of words followed, during which Dr. Robinson and his friends left the hall. Mr. Binswanger declared that some of those working so ardently for McMechen had not actively interested themselves in other fights. Dr. Robinson has been working hard likewise Julius F. Diehl. With the colored vote split in four parts, it seems likely that the man getting the most votes from the section East of McCulloh street will receive the nomination. Alexander Williams has been waging an energetic campaign in the Seventeenth ward. "I feel confident that I will be nominated," he says. "Many persons tired of supporting Harry S. Cummings, have assured me that they will vote for me." The friends of L. H. Davenport had a rousing meeting at Moses Hall Wednesday night. Speeches were made by Rev. James H. Roberson. Charles Young, I. P. Brown, David T. Harrod and others. Mr. Davenport sharply criticised the councilmanic record of Mr Cummings, whom he accused of usually voting with the Democrats. We declared that Mr. Cummings knew when he introduced the resolution in the City Council Monday night calling for the repeal of the segregation law that it did not have the lightest chance of being passed by the Democratic City Council and agreed to by Mayor Preston. The introduction of the resolution, he said, showed that Mr. Cummings either was trying to fool the people, had a nightmare or believed he was being pursued by a submarine. Mr. Davenport sharply criticised those who claimed that he is not well educated. "Do you want a business to represent you," he said, "or a lawyer who always votes with the Democrats. The voters of this ward are demanding relief, and now is the time to strike a telling blow. TO ESTABLISH MODEL NEGRO COMMUNITY Selma, Ala., March 31.—Through the efforts of Dr. L. L. Burwell and Prof. R. B. Hudson, principal of Clarke's College, plans for the establishment of a model Negro community have been launched. Negotiations have been closed for the purchase of 2000 acres of rich, black prairie land situated about four miles north of this city. A recent issue of the Montgomery (Ala.) advertiser has the following to say regarding the project: "Plans have already been drawn for a modern school building and contracts will be let just as soon as it has been assured the promoters that the Negroes will support the new movement. Churches will be built and everything done to make the place an up to the minute city. The land is situated on the Southern Railway and on a fine pike road. Overflowing wells dot the entire 2,000 acres and the country is ideally suited to the growing of truck crops. MISS AMELIA BROWN DEAD Miss Amelia S. Brown departed this life Thursday, March 25th, after one week's illness of double pneumonia. She was the daughter of the late David W. and Mary E. Brown, one of the oldest families of Baltimore. She was a devoted Christian and had been a member of St. John's Church for a number of years. She left two sisters and one brother. Her funeral took place from her sister's residence, Mrs. Ella Plater, 1936 McCulloh street Sunday afternoon and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. Briscoe. SPORTS & ATHLETICS The Howard University five, now familiar to New York fans, once more invaded the metropolis last Thursday night, Maren 25, to line up against their old time rivals, the St. Christopher Red and Black Machine. The game that resultea was the fastest and hardest seen at the Manhattan Casino this season. Yet it resembled in certain aspects the game last season between these twoteams, From whistle to whis- tle it was one brilliant exhibition of strength and cunning, and early in the game it became evideat that the victor would be the team with the must training and best stamina. After cee-cawing to and fro, the first half ended 9 to.6 in Howard’s favor. In the second half the St. C.. boys caught up and passed the Howard five, but the latter came back in such force that with half a minute to go, Howard had the small matgin of one ahead. That the half minute was the longest ever regiatered- hy ordinary watches is solely the business of the Howard ‘boys, to whose timer may be laid ‘Yhe loss of the game. Holland, Gilmore, Hayes, and Rector played a brilliant game for Howaid. Rose Robbin and Lowry starred for the St. Christopher. The game ended 16-14 in favor of the St. Christo- phers, Referee ‘‘Huddy’’ Oliver; Timere: L. M. Berry, for St. C., Jw Dyson for Howard. t ate As the time for the big champioti- ship fight grows near epeculation ig rife umong the ‘‘dopsters’’ as to the outcome. Of course there is the general line of ‘hot shot’” that Johnson is not in trim, too fat, too old, or has dissipated too much to ‘‘come back’? and other remarks of a like character, but now and then genuine report leaks thru that the champion is himself again, and in the ‘‘pink of conditior,’” and by showing anything like his old ferm will have an easy time licking his “beefy” opponent. While we do not like to pass-any opinion on the outvome of the mill not know- ing the condition of either man we would of course be happy to see the crown remain where it is, and feel from the opinion w: have of Willard’as a fighter that Johnson should have no trouble in disposing of him, if he is anything like up to his (Johnson’s) old time form. Whatever the outcomt, Johnson has certainly fixed the financia! part of things.so that he will be to live comfortably during the balance of his life on his little ferm on the outskirts of Paris. Provided of course that city is not in possession of the Germans at the conclusion of the prese-t war. If Willard loses he will be little better off than an ordinary working man after he has paid the rent, the butcher the grocer et al, fur his profits come only after the expense of the fight have been paid, and they amount to something like $64,000. If he wins however he could afford to fight for nothing as he should be able to earn easily $75,000 a year for the next five years. So that however good or bad Johnson's physical or mental con- ditions may be now at the conclu- gion of the fight win, or Icse, his financial condition will certainly show a large amount of assets over ijabilities.

We should begin this work small—not with a small aim—nay a big aim—but small loca) movements or a series of small local raovements to realize the big sim, Then again another point— each of us must be content at first to start the movment at just the place where we are—at our own church, Next let several churches come together in the same city, take up the movement. When these city- wide campaigns are on then let the workers of various cities come together and let there be a central organization formed and let the Negro Boys Movement grip the States of America united. But remember this central organization cannot well be affected until there has been much local work, The plan must be taken up ietep by step —but the step might proceed slowly or rapidly, Speaking for Baltimore, she is abont ready now to take up that phase of the work that deals with the general annual movemen's. 70 explain clearer- leading Baltimore churches have each been observing Boy’s Day every year for about \fouror tive years, But each church holds its own Boys’ Day in its own way, having itsown aim.

APRIL 3, 1915 We recently read of the consolidation of two strong banks in Birmingham, Ala., while we have not got one real bank in Baltimore, much less two. Is it now about time that we had gotten a move on us and do something really worth while? We think so. THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION. Fifty years ago, the picture presented of our race in this country becomes highly interesting and instructive in contrast with the picture of the same people as exhibited today. Engulfed in ignorance and all the habits and customs of a people scarcely acquainted with civilization at all, it was freely predicted, on all sides, that emancipation was but the death knell of the people thus set free. And this was seriously believed by no inconsiderable number of educators, scholars and statesmen. When one carefully collects all the data, and the facts, bearing upon the progress of the colored people, in every department of life, during the past fifty years he will have before him a picture that he can scarcely believe to be true. Were it possible for one of the old time Negroes, who lived in the forties, to return to earth, and to note and appreciate the significance of the real picture as realized at present, he would still be almost like St. Thomas when he refused to believe the good news of the Saviour's triumph over Death and the Grave. Thomas knew that the Saviour was really dead. No dead man had ever, hitherto, returned to life, and such an idea to him was grossly absurd and foolish. But, he had the satisfaction of applying every test, and being well assured of the "Ressurrection" as an incontrovertible fact, he exclaimed, in the presence of "the Ressurrection and the Life," "My Lord, and My God." Equally significant is the fact of the moral, spiritual, and intellectual, resurrection of a practically dead raze, fifty years ago. The practical and eternal meaning and lesson which the celebration of "Easter" brings to us, at this season, is the assurance of the power of the Ressurrection as realized in our own cases and life. This should be a witness which should prevailingly appeal to us. If this marvelous miracle wrought in our own persons, which is ever widening and expanding, is traceable directly to the power an influence of the Christ upon our civilization, then it should lead to one result. Behold the Goodness of God. If God so loved us, we ought also to love Him. New, the Saviour has distinctly told us, that the First and Great Commandment is that we should love God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, and with all our strength. He did not say with our "tongue," for that is a very easy and cheap thing to do. We must love Him with our real inward self, and nothing short of this will suffice. If this one thing we strive to do, He will take care of our future, and the great moral miracle He is working within us will continue to witness the triumph of Life over Death, and thus will be firmly imbedded within us the principle of eternal Life which must eventually find its perfection in the presence of Him who is both Life and Love. The principle of the Ressurrection should constitute the compelling power of our lives by the which we mount up to the ideal in body and soul purposed for us all by our Loving and All Powerful Heavenly Father. The Y. M. C. A. is an institution conducted by the people for the people. In order that it might render the most efficient service to the community the people decided that it should be properly housed in a new building and to this end subscribed over $25,000. Up to this time $11,500 has been paid in. The members of the Association are trying to raise the sum of $3,500 by the 25th of April. It is the duty of the community to see to it that this amount is paid in by that time in order that the building may be started. The people of Baltimore have never failed to support any movement that has for its object the uplift of our boys and young men and when they realize that if the Association fails to reach its desired goal the responsibility will be laid at their door they will willingly and quickly pay their pledges. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our dear husband and father, who died three years ago, April 4. Gone but not forgotten. His wife, Clara Adams, 1228 Jefferson street, and children. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Lewis Whiting, who departed this life seven years ago today, April 4, 1908. Dearest husband thou hast left me In this cold world all alone But dear husband is sweetly sleeping When husband dear left me. And often do I think of him Of how he laid his head upon my shoulder By his loving wife, Ida M. Whiting, Philadelphia, Pa. GRIFFIN—In loving remembrance of my dear son, James E. Griffin, who departed this life three years ago, March 28, 1912. Hour by hour I saw him fade, And slowly sink away Yet in our hearts we prayed That he might longer stay. In silence he suffered We often sit and think of him When we say alone: When we are alone; For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. His loving mother and devoted wife and son, Mrs. Amelia J. Griffin, Mrs. Susie E. Griffin, Master James G. Griffin. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Martha A. Carter, who entered into paradise four years go, March 31, 1911. Into sweet rest dear mother has entered entered No more to suffer or to weep; Mother is sweetly smiling on us from heaven from beaven Darling mother has fallen asleep 'Tis Jesus knows how sad are our hearts By her devoted children, Leona, Clarence and Morris. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear daughter Elsie V. Stinnett, who departed this life two years ago today, April 2, 1913 Friends may think I have forgotten And my wounded heart is healed But they little know the sorrow That is within my heart encapsled In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband and father, Robert Curtis, who departed this life two years ago, April 2, 1913. Oh how hard we tried to save him, But our cares were all in vain Angels came and took him from us He is with the Saviour free from pain. From his wife, Eliza Curtis and children. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER Diehl's previous attitude in favor of the saloon on Druid Hill avenue near Gold has given the lie to his future promises to be good to the colored people. His machine has gone to pieces. The Drug Store Candidate's liquid liniment has disagreed with the digestion of his hangers on; his abuse and unparliamentary language has driven hundreds of voters away from him. His statement the other night that he would not support the nominee proves the charge previously brought against him that he was a Democrat until he thought it better business and politics to be a Republican. G.W.F. McMehen's candidacy was the result of a star-chamber session of persons who live out side of the ward to "slip one over" as they said. The 14th ward is intelligent enough to mind its own business without foreign interference. Its people resent the recent activity of a number of gentlemen who previous to the occasion have been silent for all candidates and issues of the Republican party, and now for the first time think it good for their professions and business to agitate a race issue. Mr McMechen should have not waited till the last hora blew and then expect the other candidates to withdraw in his favor. What has he ever done by speech, work or contribution for the benefit of the Republican party. If there were no colored men in the ward and 1879 Hebrews would have backed Mr. Binswanger on no other issue than that he was a Jew, under the same circumstances, and he had no record in the Council, and no other issue than race prejudice raised for him, how could 1879 men expect the other 2936 men to vote for him. Again of the 1879 men who are in the minority by about 500, one hundred and fifty cannot be located by the post office. Conclusion, the raising of the race issue by any one race in the 14th ward would render the election of such a nominee hopelessly imposibe by about 650. And even if 270 white Republicans would vote for such a candidate he would be beaten in majority by 380 votes in such favorable event. If the league and Dr. Junius Gray "slip such a thing over" it will result in a Democratic City Councilman. Its effect on the whole Republican ticket would spell defeat. Remember, voters, this is a Republican Primary; City Councilman Augustus C. Binswanger has disproven the anttrue and intentionally false rumors circulated about his record. His record stands out and is attested to by all thinking men, irrespective of race or color. His nomination is essential to having brains and epexperience in the halls of legislation. Do not be misled by sentimental appeal. Think twice before marking your ballot next Tuesday. H. V. ALTSHUL, Political Agent POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Mrs. Estella Saunders Regnol, 426 N.

A GREAT BIG BLUFF Councilman Cummings Introduces Bluff Resolution to Repeal Segregation Act Which Everybody Knows Has Not Slightest Chance of Passing Also Introduces Quadrennial Ordinance for High School Which Has No Chance of Passing at this Session of the City Council Monday night, Mr. to repeal the council. Inasmuch Cummings know being passed at the Mr. Cummings is $400,000 for a past four year Cummings has do public has cert with Mr. Cumming time of a prime BLUFF. FOR THE CUMMINGS INTEREST WHAT In the City Council Monday night, March 29th, Mr. Cummings introduced an ordinance to repeal the last two segregation acts passed by the City Council. Inasmuch as the City Council has six weeks more of life, Mr. Cummings knows that there is not the slightest hope of its being passed at this session. Several weeks ago Mr. Cummings introduced his quadrennial ordinance to appropriate $400,000 for a new colored high school. In all the time during the past four years since he first introduced this ordinance, if Mr. Cummings has done any real thing for the colored high school, the public has certainly not been informed of it. All this is in line with Mr. Cummings' way of doing business, getting busy just at the time of a primary election, and is nothing else but a GREAT BIG BLUFF.

A number of instances could be shown where Mr. Cummings aligned himself with the Democrats when his Republican colleagues were lined up solidly together. And still he comes before the Republican voters of the 17th Ward and asks that they support him on his record. If he asked for the suffrage of the Democrats he would be entitled to more recognition.

WAR WILL HELP DARKER RACES Prof. DuBois Thinks Negroes Should Push Their Claims For Equality of Opportunity and Justice That the present European conflict will result in the darker races being better treated by the white race was asserted by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois at the mass meeting held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at Grace Presbyterian Church Sunday afternoon. The war, he went on to say, means that the darker races will get a surer footing, as well as economic and political emancipation. The present war, in his opinion, is an outgrowth on the 9 PROF. W. E. B. DuBOIS part of a few people of large means to exploit the natural resources of Africa and Asia, and thereby reap a profit approximating 50 per cent. He pointed out that the present war had resulted in several East Indians being awarded the Victorian Cross, a thing never before done. This change in the world sentiment regarding the darker races, he claimed, could be taken advantage of by the colored residents of the United States in pushing their claims for equality of opportunity and equality before the law. Dr. DuBois came here Friday to deliver the principal address at the closing of the health conference. Following his address, he was the guest of honor at a smoker given at the home of his host, Prof. Mason A. Hawkins. A small musical was given in his honor Saturday night. Dr. DuBois left for his home in New York city Monday morning. CONFERENCE TO CONVENE Atlantic City, April 1.—The fifty-first annual session of the Delaware Conference of the M. E. Church will be held the new St. James M. E. Church, beginning next Wednesday and continuing for five days. The conference territory takes in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and New Jersey, besides a few charges on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Among the many visitors will be quite a number of Marylanders. Rev. A.L. Martin and a committee are looking after the entertainment of the visiting ministers and laymen. EVENING SCHOOL CLOSES - The closing exercises of the Evening High School was held at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church Monday night, a large audience being in attendance. Mr. John W. Rich, in the absence of Prof. Joseph H. Lockerman, principal of the Teachers' Training School, delivered the principal address. He told his hearers that despite the fact that they were unable to attend day school that study and attendance at the high school would put them on the road to knowledge and efficiency. The program included: Scripture reading by Mr. William H. McAbee an essay on "The Value of the Evening High School," by Miss He en Mossell; recitations by Misses Ruby Dorsey and Jennie Breckenridge; an essay by Miss Julia Somerville, and musical numbers by Misses Mary Sutton and Mary E Roger and Mrs. Cora Jones. In awarding certificates to nearly 300 pupils for satisfactory work and attendance, Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the school, delivered a helpful address. Several graduates in the dressmaking course were awarded diplomas. Messias, Percy Smith, Albert Matthews, James Grandison, Arthur Cornish, Samuel Gittens and Wm. G. Young, Jr., took part in a scene from Julius Caesar. THE SCHOOL QUESTION Editor The Afro-American Ledger; Sir— Along with many others I was deeply interested in your editorial of last week on the nephew of what you consider the plain duty of the school teacher. Only a few weeks ago you published the caustic remarks of a local pastor accusing the teachers of a lack of interest in those things pertaining to the race that lie without the domain of the schoolroom. That both your editorial and the minister's criticism were given in good faith and with the best of intentions is not to be doubted. But that they are misleading and were written without adequate knowledge of the facts constitute the reasons for this letter. In order to get at the justification or lack of justification for the ministerial diatribe to which reference has been made the writer took a casual survey of some of the activities of school teachers that are in no way connected with the work of the classroom. It was learned that three of the Sunday School district superintendents of the African Methodist Episcopal Church are teachers; the superintendents of the largest and best organized Sunday School, Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal, is a teacher; other superintendents, many teachers and officers of Sunday Schools, as well as workers in Baptist Young People's Unions, Epworth Leagues and Christian Endeavor Societies are school teachers. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Day Nursery, the Fresh Air Circle, the Forum, Young Men's Christian Association the, Young Woman's Christian Association, secret societies, charity organizations too numerous to mention here all have among their most earnest and efficient supporters members of the teaching profession. In addition to the many claims made upon their time and means by the many organization I have indicated they have the Educational Association, the Schoolmasters' Club and the Principals' Association for the study of many of the problems affecting the people. A little observation will show that they serve in many capacities where there is no pay and less honor, and contribute substantially to every deserving movement having for its object the betterment or race conditions. Obviously enough they cannot take an active part in politics. Indeed, there are some of them who have the temerity to believe that many of the ministerial brethren (with some notable exceptions) have done the race incalculable harm politically by selling their services too cheaply and turning their churches into political meeting houses. There remains to be said a word or two on the question of the public conduct of our children, to which your editorial evidently referred. Now when a child attends school every possible hour in the year he is under the control of the teacher fewer than a thousand hours; or less than one-ninth of the time. At all other times he is under influences that the teacher can in no wise control. What these influences are the readers of the Afro-American Ledger well know. It should also be borne in mind that modern school regulations do not make the teacher in loco parents as in the "good old days." And that there exists in far too many homes a lack of parental control that develops a tendency to disregard law and order which cannot always be corrected by the schools in the short and intermittent periods it has the child. To take 40 or 50 children from every conceivable kind of home, to keep them profitably employed five hours a day in the regular work of the school calls for an exceedingly high order of skill, and makes a drain upon the nervous energy that can be appreciated only by those subjected to it. The writer firmly believes that if many who are won: to heap criticisms upon teachers on every occasion would visit schools and see for themselves the tremendous task daily confronting the teachers it could be said of them, too, that "those who came to scoff, remained to pray." It only remains to be said that the teacher must keep clearly in mind that his main business is instructing and helping to form right habits of study. Moral instruction must necessarily be incidental, since he is only one factor in equation of the child's life. That he should be interested in all that pertains to the people's welfare is not to be denied, but he must religiously guard against dissipating his energies to such an extent as to render himself impotent in the very cause to which he has dedicated himself and to which the public rightly looks for his highest achievements.

OTHE NUE Live Oak, Fia.—l am certainly doing some getting around in this country and I shall continue to de so, and almost before you can get through reading this letter I will pe in Baltimore, and will talk a little bit there. Tt seems that I am never going to get over that trip to Omaha, be- cause [ got to see so much out there, and then I got to meet so many people. It is a source of in- spiration, and just as soon a3 I can get a letter from there I am going to tell you some of the few things the young men are doing for the uplifs of the race. 3 Hf you will recall I went to Cin- cionati, and Chere is where I had the pleasure of meeting Editor W. P, Dabney, of the Union.” He is not only editor of the Union, but he is assistant paymaster of the whole city. This is indeed a fine position. It was to mea source of inspiration to meet such a map, and he called me his friend. Leaving Dabney I had the pleas- ure of meeting Rev. C.S, Williams, pastor of Allen Temple, the lead ing A. M. E. Church in Cinein- nati, and he is making good. 1 had the pleasure of preaching for his people morning, afternoon, and evening, and then delivering some lectures there also. Rev. Williams is being mentioned for the position now orcupied by Rev. J. C. Cald- well, of Nashville, and Dr. Cald- well is mentioned for bishop. From Cincinnati to Louisville, then on to Paris, Ky., Richmond, Knoxville, Teno., and while in the city | was the guest’of one of the leading physicians in the state, Dr. H.M. Greep. He is kept busy all the time. From Knoxville, on to Atlanta, but it would not be out of place for me to say to you that had the pleasure of calling at the home of Miss S. H. Porter. She is now located at home in Knox- ville,and is resting up, She is one of the hardest working women we have in the whole race, and her services at Tuskegee Institute will long be remembered. She has touched the lives of so many of our young women, and many of them are making good in this world. She was the dean of the women for a number of years, In Atlanta, [had the pleasure of meeting Henry Lincoln Johnson, who is looking after the legal end of life, and in this he is just kept at all the time. He is in the Odd Fellow's Temple. ( am sure you will re- member him, beesuse he made a record as Recorder of Deeda for the Distriet uf Columbia. Ben Davis was as busy as could be putling into execution some great things for the whole race. He is indeed a worthy mas, and has maie his place in this world.
