CITY CHU MOB OF SOUTH METROPOLITAN LEADS THE WAY Will Oi Washing Entered in the Postoffice on-class matter un HURCHE OF A TH THERN Will keep Pupils Out of School Washington Parents League Threatens Drastic Action To Get Rid of Assistant Superintendent. Washington, May 21—Unless the Board of Education grants the petition signed by 11,000 persons to remove Roscoe C. Bruce as assistant superintendent of schools, parents of the entire city will be asked to keep their children out of school, according to Charles Hill, one of the attorneys of the Parents' League. The attorney said he felt Mr. Bruce ought to be removed on the strength of the petition already filed. WANT SPECIFIC CHARGE. George E. Hamilton, president of the school board, said today the board could not take steps to remove Mr. Bruce unless specific charges in writing are filed against him. The statement that he has lost his usefulness or is unsatisfactory to the school number 60 people sufficient on which to be involved, Mr. Hamilton contends. Neither Mr. Hamilton nor Superintendent Thurston would discuss what action they would take if children leave school in wholesale numbers. One school official pointed out however, that the law requires all children to be in school between the ages of eight and fourteen and upon the failure of a parent to comply with the law, the truant officer is authorized to begin proceedings against the parent in the Juvenile Court. It is estimated that there are approximately 8,500 colored children between eight and fourteen years in the local public schools. Copied From Queen's Rally Taking the idea of the Queen's Rally as she saw it worked out in this city among the churches, Mme E. Azalia Huckley has worked out what she calls a patriotic pageant, and is spreading it in book form over the country. Mrs. Walker Not to go Out of Business. A story has been circulated among the agents and customers of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company to the effect that Madam Walker has sold out and that she is going out of business as a manufacturer of hair preparations. We take this method to inform our agents, friends and customers false as nothing of the sort has ever been considered by Madam C. J. Walker. Instead of going out of business, the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company has perfected arrangements to increase the facilities so as to meet the growing demands for its preparations. MILITARY HIGH SCHOOL ```markdown ``` CAROL DOLL RALLY E. OR BETHEL CHURCH Up To Thursday Morning Had Trebled Its Quota Baltimore District Ahead Of Entire Conference With five churches over the top Thursday morning and the other six within reaching distance, local pastors are confident that the full quota of the Centenary Fund will be exceeded by next Sunday, when the campaign closes.

St. Paul went over on Wednesday. BALTO. DISTRICT FIRST. The Baltimore District, presided over by Rev. E. S. Williams, was the first district over the top, get-tried, ahead of all other white and colored districts. This district raised more than $27,000 last Sunday. Dr. C. E. Lunas, secretary of the Epworth League, who is assisting in the drive, smoke at Sharp Street and Metropolitan on Sunday. $4000 was subscribed at the former and $11,000 at the latter church. Impetus was given to the work here by the announcement that Calvary M. E. Church in Philadelphia reports pledges amounting to $155,000 for five years. Dr. C. A. Tindley is the pastor. The church will be given $250,000 from the Contenantary Fund for a new institutional church for South Philadelphia. REV. WILLIAMS PLEASED. To a reporter of the Afro-American, Rev. E. S. Williams expressed himself as very much gratified with the shewing of the District under his charge. He said he expected the end of the week to find every church, over the mark. Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan Church, which on Thursday morning showed a total subscription of $12,505, trebling its quotas, was forced to take to his bed from overwork early during the week. The work has gone on, however, under George A. Owens and others, and Mrs. Thomas when approached by a representative of the Afro-American, remarked with enthusiasm that Metropolitan expected to make their total fifteen thousand by Sunday. The pastor and congregation are receiving congratulations from the rest of the district on their showing.

Resolutions Unusual crowds thronged the square in front of the City Hall on Tuesday at the inaugural ceremony giving witness of the personal popularity of the new chief executive. Enquiring eyes also searched out the new colored members of the City Council, who were expected to be on hand and take their oath of office. Mr. Warner T. McGuinn from the 14th Ward, was present, but Mr. Wan, L. Fitzgerald, due to be absent, was not sworn in by Mayor Browning until Wednesday. INTEREST IN SCHOOL BOARD APPOINTMENTS. Announcement by the new Mayor or the he intends to fill the four vacancies remaining on the School Board, and at least one and probably two of the appointees will be women has aroused considerable interest. Older citizens recall that the late Rev. Frank Eggleston was the first colored man appointed to the School Board, under the administration of Mayor Malster, but under the mayors that followed the matter was allowed to rest. The question of a colored to the appointment of a colored appointee was discussed in one of the ministers' meetings during the week, and it is expected that various civic organizations will follow suit. One of the ministers, when approached afterwards by a representative of the Afro-American, said: "We are unanimous on the principle that a colored man ought to have a place on the Board that administers the affairs of the public school. Nearly one-fifth of the pupils and teachers in the city schools are colored, and they constitute a separate group. No one else but a colored man can speak for them. "I recall that the appointment of a colored member of the Board was made an issue in the campaign in which Mr. Broening was elected, and that the Democrats, who agitated against a colored representative was defeated. CANT SLEEP BECAUSE COLOR ED FOLKS ARE MOVING IN Some of the residents of the twelve and thirteen hundred block of Mosher street between Carrollton Ave. and Calibou St, could not eat their meals last week accustomed to the taste of appetite was said to be due to the fact that a colored real estate dealer had purchased several houses in the block, and went to look over his new property. "Colored people simply got to hear the story," this dealer is quoted as saying, and if a few well behaved colored people can put to riot four or five hundred whites, by simply moving in a block, then let them eat their food of choice. There are two story is said to range from $1300 to $1800. FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1919 OVER" IN D MEN AND EMEN . "W $3,500 Subscri New Hosp Captain Brown Gives $500.

Williamson, white, who killed Cliff Hughes, as supposed, because he had on the uniform of the United States soldier, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life: In a special dispatch to the Afro-American, the sheriff of Early Co. and the colored ministers state that they make this public to clear the good name of the county. WANT ADMISSION TO COLORED JODGES Macon, Ga., May 18—Alleging that colored lodges are nothing more nor less than hotbeds of anarchism and bolshevism, and are always plotting and scheming against the white race, this community is seeking to have a law passed to make it possible for the sheriff and his deputies to have admission to the meetings of secret colored orders. $72,000 SCHOOL FOR NORTH CAROLINA Orangeburg, S. C., May 18—The last legislature appropriated seventy-two thousand dollars for a State normal school at Orangeburg. Not to be outdone by this State, North Carolina issued a statement that it is the intention of the Board of Education to put a colored high school in every community. SCHOOL TROUBLE SETTLED Denton, Md. May 12-When the country superintendent requested the superior visitor, Miss Jackson and the Domestic Science teacher, Miss Dunton, to teach school three days a week, they absolutely refused, on the ground as such action was contrary to the laws of the State. As a result of their refusal the Domestic Science department was closed at the Denton school and opened in the Ridgely school, six miles from Denton, and the Domestic Science teacher sent there to teach. Besides this, all the grades above the first were discontinued in the Denon school because a pupil placed an indiscrable present on the Christine tree for the principal, Mr. J. T. Walker. The teachers' salary was reduced, i. e., teachers holding first grade certificates. The entire matter was taken up with members of the State Board of Education and as a result the Domestic Science teacher and department were restored to the Denton School. The principal was required to teach, after the closing term as many days as the school was closed. Many of the teachers have received the money due them. Emmett Scott Answers Dubois In Turn Puts Embarassing Questions to Crisis Editor Assistant Secretary "Not Ashamed of Record." Washington, May 19—In an open letter to the press, Enimett J. Scott assistant to the Secretary of War, defends himself against an attack made upon his career in office by Dr. W. E. B. DiBois, of New York, Mr. Scott says, "my record in the War Department speaks for itself. I am not ashamed of it. I have no apologies to make. True it is, I could not do everything," as he confesses himself, yet I chal- I have failed to do my whole duty." Mr. Scott adds he has done everything in his power to present complaints and grievances brought to his attention and bring about a suitable remedy. "I challenge Dr. DyBois to show in any of the numerous memoranda I have written or in any of the numerous public addresses I have made, any line or paragraph that falls short of a firm demand for justice and fair play." In turn quizzing Dr. DuBois, Mr. Scott asks why he did not bring complaints of ill treatment of colored soldiers overseas as did Ralph Tyler. Mr. Scott also asks what the doctor did to bring such treatment to the attention of General Pershing, instead of awaiting his return to America. "Three thousand miles from France." FRAT HOUSE IN MOURNING Scene of Funeral Ceremony For the First Time In Decade Washington, D. C. May 17—Persons, who passed by the home of the Alpha Phil Alpha Pratenity, located near the Georgia avenue entrance to Howard University, saw it in mourning yesterday for the first time in a decade. This home of local college and professional students has always worn a gay appearance, while the Greek letter shield on the front door spoke eloquently of dances, smokers, and infiltration, not to mention the hard "grinding" that went on behind the walls that shut out the inquisitive public. Yesterday was different, and the "house" as the students call it, was open to the university and the public which filed in silent linethe wide doors to pay their last respects to Ephraim Williams, former secretary, and one of the most popular of student members. Williams' home is in far off Florida, so that while the fraternity has lost many members by death, he was the first to die away, from home, surrounded only by his college friends. The body lay in state on Friday and funeral services were held in the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church on Sunday. Rev Emory B. Smith, a member of the fraternity, officiated. CIGARS AND THY PRESSIN 1611 Druid Hill Ave., SHOE S RESERVED CHA Cakes, Candies, Ice Cream, Soft Figures From Draft Show How South As A Section Shirked Patriotic Duty. Wanted Race Killed Off. Democrats Responsible (Staff Correspondence.) New York, May 15—From figures made public from authentic sources, it appears that of the 360,710 colored men inducted into the war, by draft, 255,097 or 65 per cent were from the Southern States, whose white contribution was only 370,269. Colored White Mississippi gave 24,066 19,296 South Carolina 25,798 18,261 Louisiana 28,711 27,494 Georgia 34,301 32,538 Florida 12,904 12,012 In the first two named states, the colored population is greater than the white, but nevertheless in the whole South is seen the effort of the whites to evade military service and send the colored brother to fight in their stead and not that he would be off and not that he also aiming to stay at home themselves and get rich by war profiling. DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBLE. The South stands today disgraced before the rest of the country as a pussyfooter and slacker. Paraphrasing President Wilson's famous statement, they were "two cowardly to fight". The Democrat administration is responsible that this section of the country was allowed to shirk its bounded patriotic duty. Like in all secrets, information is beginning to filter through that no section in the whole country has profited from, the war as has the South. With the Democrats in power and Southern Senators in power and Southern senators having their hands in the steering wheels of the government, armed with war time authority, the South has proceeded to feather its own nest open. Two things may be mentioned from a number. The report of the Government Railroad Administration show that big roads throughout the North and West had huge deficits, while even the little. Southern roads showed surplus and profits. This is said to be due to the fact that Government troop trains and freight trains have been deflected from their usual routes and over Southern railways for the purpose of "helping them out." On the Press boat going to the Peace Conference, little Southern dailies from Mobile and Montgomery are reported to have been allowed, two representatives, which was all that were allowed the big papers like the New York World six times larger in circulation and power. The Northern states are not fast asleep, and in later days have grown bitter, especially since the prohibition amendment has become a fact. They say as the Harriman National Bank of this city announced in a recent advertisement, "If the South is going to assist on us an 18th Amendment we are going to see that the 15th Amendment is also enacted." "Not that we are concerned with the wisdom and insistence of Negro suffrage or prohibition, but we are concerned deeply and directly with the rights and privileges of citizenship as conferred by the Constitution, under which we have achieved successfully 130 years of our national life." Harrisburg, Pa., May 20—The Geary "equal rights" bill, according to colored people equal rights in hotels, restaurants and theatres was defeated by the House last week. The vote was 93 to 45, the measure receiving fifteen less affirmative votes than the necessary constitutional majority. Representative Geary, who comes from Allegheny, and has a large colored constituency, closed some seats when he draffally shouted he was being "double-crossed" by the Republican state leaders, he said, had promised to support the bill. "Somebody," Mr. Geary said, "trying to pass the buck, but they can't do that on me. I am going to put this House on record. We will let the Negroes of the State know who their friends are. We are not going to kill this bill in to put this House on record. Representative Norton, of Berks, has an "equal rights" bill before the House containing provisions similar to those of the measure defeated last week. WOMEN SPECIALISTS MAY BE RECEIVED SOON Washington, May 18—Two of the women workers who are serving as special aides to Mary Van Kleek, white, in the industry section of the Department of Labor. They are Mrs. George Haynes and Mrs. Helen Irvin. Both are specialists on colored labor problems as they apply to women. DENOMINATIONS ASK HELP OF WHITES Want Congress Memorialized to Stop Lynching Cleveland, Ohio. May 18—Representatives of colored denominations in America sent a petition to the Federal Council of Churches in session here. The petition reads in part, as follows: "The African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America, and the National Baptist Convention, constituent bodies of the Federal Council, through their accredited delegates to this Council, have sent a petition to memorize the Congress of the United States to enact a Federal Law for the suppression of lynching, and in every way use its authority to remove from American society this disgraceful evil. "Verily we believe that this is the psychological hour for the Federal Council to throw its tremendous influence against lawlessness and in support of the maintenance of the majesty of the law." The petition is signed by Bishop C. S. Smith of the A. M. E. church delegation; | Bishop J. S. Caldwell chairman of the A. M. E. Zion delegation; Bishon C. H. Phillips chairman C. M. E. delegation; E. C. Morris, chairman National Baptist Convention. ROBINSON THOUGHT TO BE IN Milton Dashell, counsel for Robert Robinson, charged with the murder of Tydings, stated to a reporter of the Afro-American that the case, will not be tried under two weeks, as he needs that time to罢休. Dashell did say that he believes the accused innocent of the crime. The case has been transferred from Annapolis to Baltimore on account of the feeling in Anne Arundel county which would prevent Robinson from getting a fair trial.

Mississippi Crackers Hang And Burn Unidentified Prisoner Before Throng S of Men and Women 3 Steel Doors Broken. Vicksburg, Miss, May 14—Lloyd Scott, 24 years old, was lynched and burned at 8:30 o'clock tonight by men who stormed the jail, threw the sheriff, Frank Scott, into a corner, pinning him to the floor, broke through a heavy one inch steel barred window, then broke a heavy iron door from its hinges, and took the prisoner from his cell. The prisoner was charged with attempting criminal assault. The girl was taken to the jail, but did not positively identify him. A large mob quickly gathered about the jail and refused to be dispersed by the officers. They were informed that it was the wong pin, but this had no effect. Some few left, but others took their places. Judge Brien said if there was any evidence against the man he would call a special term of court and organize a special grand jury. At 7:45 o'clock a mob came into the street in front of the jail. They had a piece of railroad track sixteen feet in length and began to batter a jail window. Sheriff Scott attempted to talk to the crowd but the men crowded close around him so he could not lift his hands quietly lifted him from his chair, then threw him in a corner and he fell to the floor. M. G Cookehl, a contractor, who had been sworn in as a deputy, was rummed in the stomach. He may be internally injured. The men turned their attention to the powerful steel bars and after hammering for twenty minutes the steel was broken and the parts imbedded in the walls were forced out. The breaking of the 'other doors was a matter of short work. They took the prisoner out to the street, put him in an auto truck, and forty men boarded the truck. He was taken two blocks south to Clay street and then four blocks east to Farmer and Clay streets, within a short distance of the Broussard home. A rope was fastened about his neck and thrown over the tree. Lush twenty feet under the ground. Some oil was poured on his head and he was pulled into the air. He attempted to haul himself up on the rope with his hands. Then his hands were tied. The next move was to apply the match to his oil-soaked head. A bonfire was started under his feet, which dangled four feet above the ground. A fullade of shots were fired into the body and into the air. Charles Lancaster, an onlooker was hit in the head with a bullet, inflicting what may prove a fatal wound. Lancaster was killed by Ford, was shot in the arm. Thousands viewed the body as it roasted over the fire and then went home. Testamentary letters were granted to John Bishop as executor of the estate of the late Cabel Calloway. Bond was set at $10,000. The bulk of the property is left to Mr. Calloway's surviving widow during her natural life. At her death, $500 is left to a sister Molly Calloway and $300 to a daughter in law, Mrs. Harry Calloway. The Aged Men and Women's Home of the M. E.

Mr. Harry Smith, who conducts a 250 Arlington avenue, was hailed by the man as a fraternal brother and given a small sum of money and a dinner. He is said to have spent several days at a jailberry street house. A representative of the Afro-American, who happened on the scene, noted the pins representing the orders of Muss, Madons and Pythians on the coat of the supposed executioner, who he was sent to Washington to chain his pay from the War Department. He promised to return to Baltimore on Tuesday and visit the lodge meetings on Thursday night with Mr. Smith. Henry Johnson of Rochester, N.

OSMAN. 1625 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE BALTIMORE, MD A INJUNCTION PROCEEDING Denumeration to the bill of complaints bled by Edward Scott and others representing the Methodist Protestant Church, against BenJ. Brown and others, representing the M. E. Church, representing the Mission known as the Tyson Inn, Falls Road, was sustained by Judge Dobler in the Circuit Court Monday. The bill of complaint filed by Edward Scott was dismissed with the payment of costs. Following the decision of the court in its favor, the A. M. E. congregation under the leadership of the pastor, Rev John O. Custis, took possession of the church and held services there Monday night. Nearly seventy-five persons were present. W. M. S. HEAR SSERMON Under the auspices of the Women's Miss Missionary Society of the First Baptist Church, Rev. P. C. Neal the pastor, preached the anniversary sermon. The church is eight-slope avenue, and it is in a pew raily. Miss Patience Harris is the president, and Mrs. Carrie Ablon, secretary. NO NEW PASTOR FOR SHARON No pastor has yet been named to take the place of the late Rev. Whin. John A. Alexander at Sharon Baptist Church, although there have been several applicants for the position of its $18,000 pastor. The pastor is being served by the assisting pastor, Rev. Real Elliott. P. James is the head of the Board of Trustees, which has the calling of a new pastor in charge. WILL CLOSE AT BEL AIR All their regular weekly meeting on Monday, the Baptist Minister Conference of the city voted to go to Bet Al for their closing meeting.

Allen and family on the death of a sister of Rev W. Winston on the death of his mother. Rev J. W. Iog of Virginia and Rev E. E. Brown, visitors at the meeting made brief addresses, Mr. William Turner preached the sermon. REV WILLIAMS STICK REV. WILLIAMS SICK Rev. Frank Williams, pastor of Perkins Square Baptist Church is concluded to his homie by illness. PASTOR BROOKS WOULD **STAY AT BETHEL FOR LIFE** Providing without a manuscript is best according to Rev. Sampam Boole who in a brief talk on the Art of Extenuous Prescribing, gave some insight into the very success of delivering sermons. "People like it better," said Rev. Boole, but a good memory is necessary to keep all the points to be made mind and relate them in the proper fashion. Most important of all is to have a definite thing that you want to teach, to get over, to everything else to this principal thing. In reply to a remark from the floor about girls being raised to the bishopric in the next annual conference, Rev. Boole said, "If you will raise the time limit and send me to Bethleh it will be betweenough for me." This is an appeal to the younger minds' is the subject of the paper for the next Monday, Dec. 10, N. Xate is the essayist. Annual Conference of First Independent A. M. E.

Cristy, Mrs. Dunseedors, accompanist, Mrs. Alma Kiley, reader, and Miss Culmer, soloist. Miss Charge of the concert. Proceeds will be used for the Bayview treat. BABIES RALLY AT BETHEL Any one with an imagination can retrieve the scene when the Baby, the annual Church held its annual Baby rally, hung youngsters with their parents were in attendance. Mrs. Annie Waddleton, superintendent of the Cradle Rock Department of the A. M. Church was the speaker. Miss Jackson presided. During one of the ticket periods, a photograph was taken of the present. The Sinners' Banners' Rally at St. C. M. Jr., church, St. Joseph and O'Connor Church, and Isabelle Mohr, was quite a success. Many of the congregation members attended the church promised to do, so here hererton and some asked to be prayed for. The congregation also wished to thank all who took part. In making this, the fourth annual report, we feel that it is fitting that we should review briefly some of the outstanding features of interest, and, if possible, summarize a few results. This report covers the four main features of interest in the completing of the building. In view of this fact, the features and figures stressed are records of the past four months. Twelve months ago we were operatian gn rented building with one employee, a man named John, and friends, both white and colored, a dream has become a reality, in spite of the dubious feelings of Mr. "You Cannot Go It." Mr. "It is too large a proposition" and Mr. "You Will Never Operate It." These saints of progress have met their Waterloo building themselves upon the gallows of their own narrow, selfish skids. The building was opened January 1, 1919, with a limited secretarial force, unfinished, with practically no equipment in place in any department. The building was occupied by the treasurer and we had notes of more than $1000 for current funds. Under the above conditions we ventured to set in operation a plant, the daily expense of which would exceed the committee approved for the first four months was $2,924.00. This budget for four months was larger than the budget for any one year in the history of the association, and many wondered whether the treasurer had been able to meet the treasurer stated that the treasurer for the past four months was $6,621.65. MEMBERSHIP DEPARTMENT ' the membership of any organization is not a matter of the organization. Our staff has jumped to 1,579, not including 300 others. The annual membership campaign is a monster success. More than seven thousand people have joined the last sixty days. We have 1,008 in itself, and an evidence of appreciation is a vivid agency for social upbringing. The size of the membership of any organization is a satisfactory test of its influence and importance in the field. The organization did not include 300 free memberships to discharged soldiers. The annual membership campaign during the month of February was a monster success, and the organization did not renew during the campaign have done so during the last sixty days. We have 1,000 hona fola members. This is a feel in itself, and, as a result, the influence of the organization is social unify. BELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT The religious committee has made headway in moulding public sentiment in favor of a spiritual awakening, and there is every opportunity in the church to build a city-wide crucible for the King. All glory to that faithful committee for fostering tenacity to a real constructive program, and much praise to the religious committee has held $200 religious meetings with an attendance of 24,800 persons. 95 individuals have united with the church as a result of these meetings and a large number of our members have revived their interest and rejoined the forces of righteousness. EDUCATIONA LDEPARTMENT We have not done any definite work along this line, so far, but our future program includes the instruction of physical department. No one will doubt that this this section of our work offers the largest opportunity for real service. We have worked with the physical development of our youth. No playground or supervisor, no gymnasium, or director, no definite program or schedule. Our gymnasium has been opened in charge, during which time there has been played 18 basket ball games with an attendance of 5560 persons, 12 classes in the boys department, and 12 classes in the girls department during which most days has been 3720. The department is being organized and there is every reason to believe that the physical program will be a year round success. We have team defeated Howard, Lincoln, Philadelphia "Y" and the Washington "Y", in fact, they lost only four games during the season. Our truck team won its first trophy and captured the 8th annual Runner by The most vexing problem that confronts us today is the problem of right training for the youth of the race. The attention of every secretary, ever yssocial worker, and public spiritless building staff are being erected, and old ones are being remodeled, besides experts are scouring the country for boy leaders. This is our problem and this is why we have a different approach, with his department unfinished, and without a boy's work secretary. Today we have a limited equipment, a boy's work secretary, bona fide members in our department, and without the presence of an engineer on the part of the boys, but it has been due to their eagerness, their own anxiety to enjoy the building. One visit to the building during a hour will be sufficient to convite you of the worth of this building to the boys. SOCIAL DEPARTMENT No one discredit the importance of this department in the association work. Receptions for a large measure to our inadequate building, yet we can refer to a few evenings of real fellowship. In this building, we will facility for giving social atmosphere of this growing centre. Already plans are in land for the formation of many social groups during the year 1919-20. EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT dates in this section have forced upon us the service and fraternity. So much so that we have to support. Fortunately, the time came, and we established the means of serving 434 men: thirty personal interviews. Of the 434 men, 312 have been placed in the department, boarding houses, this practical demonstration is the payment bureau is the next adventure of a organizer of the great responsibility to its building. Every understanding and securing of a force of help and of securing a force of help and of before have been a one department work, national organization in a big metropolitan finds us ready to face the task, man prove our claim by his efforts, and his auxiliaries. This has added a problem of departmental can we settle. We cannot be able to open our eyes to see when we say that our first and dollar one and that the cost of her 0.00 with a parcel of 3674 persons that pledged in full. The swimming pool will cost a car, this would have been in the face of the he pool he will be finished during on, we beg your happy intelligence for a car in our preset stage. In the face of the prosecution for the general betrayment of the morals of the men and boys of Baltimore. War activities in this section have forced upon us a new problem, and hundreds of men discharged from the service, and citizens in the city, have been forced to supply a man to handle situation. Fortunately, the time came, and we found the man, the records of whom will tell the story, to be one of the servicing of 434 men: it has helped hundreds of men thru personal interviews. Of the 434 applications charged soldiers, 312 have been received to boarding houses, restaurants, railroad stations, and wharves. This practical demonstration is an evident fact that a licensed employment bureau is the next adventure of this growing com- munity office are cognizant of the great responsibility that comes with the operation of this building. Even the items it is considered. No problem has been more than that of securing a force of helpers and of organizing the same. Our work preforestation has been a one step beyond the pendency of Baltimore City, an element in a big metropolitan system. Our advanced condition finds us real, and the department has agencies its necessary to be by result. The one department work has placed in the fourfold work and its auxiliaries. This new addition, although invited, has added a problem of departmental leadership, and one that time alone can not be abled to open our swimming pool and the Uniformity is not far to see when we say that our first proposition was a hundred thousand dollar one and that the cost is thirty is $100,000, with a付钱 of $150,000,000 and furthermore, when you know in full, it is 1678 persons that pleaded to the building, only dollars, however, this would have been finished, if our good friends and carrel out their part of the agreement. In the present year I venture to predict that he pool will be happy indulgence for any shortcomings, for In conclusion, we beg your help, any discrepancy in our program of development, and urge, yea, employ your whole team in the prevention in the prosecution of whatever program that is launched for the general betterment of the moral, mental and spiritual development of the men and boys of Baltimore.

According to Health Commissioner Blake's final report to Mayor Preston on births and deaths in the city, the birth rate per hundred the past year was 25.87, and the death rate 41.54. THIS MEANS FOR EVERY THREE PERSONS BORN IN BALTIMORE LAST YEAR FIVE DIED. There is some consolation in the fact that in spite of this high death rate, the colored population in the city has increased 5,000 since 1910. Yet it is only a small consolation for in these nine years nearly forty thousand persons died from various causes. Baltimore is unhealthy, and if Dr. Blake's figures are correct, the death rate is higher than that of any other city in the United States. The nearest city of Baltimore in 1900 was Petersburg, Virginia with a death rate of 34.0 per one thousand colored population. On account of the epidemic or influenza, the death rate for the past year in all cities will very likely show a decided increase. However, at the back of the high mortality figures for Baltimore, stands the outgoing Democratic administration, which has done so little for the unsanitary conditions in colored sections, including unpaved streets and alleys, dirty eating houses and poorly ventilated theatres. Added to these conditions, is the lack of adequate hospital and nursing facilities and the non-enforcement of the compulsory school law. These are some of the questions for the incoming administration to think out. It is important to complete the sunken gardens, the municipal water front, and the hundred and one other things that will make Baltimore a city beautiful, but all of these things will be a hollow mockery, if at the same time "our Baltimore" is not made reasonably safe for human habitation. The city detective forces under Marshall Carter are gaining for themselves no end of cheap notoriety thru their administering of the "third degree" to persons suspected of committing crime. John Snowden, believed by many to have been innocent of the Brandon murder, testified on the stand to the rough handling and enforced drinking of whiskey or other "dope" which are said to constitute the usual methods of the local police in extorting a "confession." On Monday, Eugene Foy testified in the Criminal Court that the same detectives administered whiskey or other "dope" until he lost control of himself and this condition procured a "confession" of the crime, for which he was held on circumstantial evidence alone. To be sure, no one in his right mind would venture to defend criminals, and certainly of all things not at the present when the city and State seem to be gripped by a wave of crime that is sweeping the country in the wake of unemployment and other unsettled conditions. Nevertheless, if the city detectives have the right to make suspected criminals drunk, they have the right to administer cocaine, either or any other narcotic. Where is the line to be drawn? Of the thousand and one legitimate methods of getting persons to tell, when they have committed crime, why resort to such illegitimate methods of beating and drugging. Moreover, the constitutional clause, which says definitely that no man can be compelled to be a witness against himself in a criminal case, ought to safeguard the suspect at the time of his arrest, as well as during his trial in court. It is seasonable to ask the question. 'What is Africa going to do after July first?' Last year America sent one million and more gallons of liquor, chiefly rum, to the dark continent. In peace times the greatest export of distilled liquors from enlightened American civilization is the rum sent Africa to make the world safe for humanity. In past three years the war has changed this, and last year we sent fifty million gallons of spirits to Europe; to help win the war. Strange, is it not? But listen to this: 1. Of the 1,183,723 gallons of distilled liquor that went to Africa in 1917, 966,475 went to the British West Africa. 2. In April, 1918, when neither flour nor sugar could be bought in the Belgian Congo, and when freight including a good many of the necessities of life was held up in New York on account of war needs, a ship sailed into the Congo ports from America, with a cargo made up chiefly of beer. 3. August, 1918, only seven of seventy missionaries were allowed to sail for Liberia, Africa, because space was needed for the whiskey cargo, of which there were THIRTY THOUSAND GALLONS OF ONE BRAND ALONE. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE AFRO-AMERICAN COMPANY OF BALTIMORE CITY FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1919 STARTING RIGHT In Mayor Browning's inauguration: address on last Tuesday he reminded Baltimore that a citizen's duty is not discharged in the selection or a public servant. "That servant," said he, "a: all times needs the counsel and cooperation of every member of the community. He cannot measure up to the high standard of public judgment until that judgment is communicated to him." In another part of his speech, the new mayor says: I repeat the statement made in my platform, that I shall appoint a school board composed of persons of high character, broad vision, capable and REPRESENTATIVE OF EVERY SECTION OF OUR CITY. I am convinced that it is proper to name at least one woman on the board." In the very beginning, it appears that Mayor Browning states his intention of being Mayor of all the people," speaking generally, and specifically, in the matter of the personnel of the school board. The colored population takes this announcement at its face value. Their public schools are the only ones set apart from the others, and yet this one-seventh of the school system, that is a separate group and unit in itself, has no representative to speak for it on the Board of School Commissioners.

"When accused of crime he is entitled to a speedy and public trial by jury, he must be told the nature of the charge against him, allowed to compell witness in his own favor to come and testify, and allowed or provided a lawyer to defend him. "He may not be deprived of life, liberty or property without a fair trial." Under the paragraphs mentioned above, Dr. Frank Crane summarizes the guarantees of our national constitution to every citizen. They are worth reading until they stick in the memory, or account of their frequent violation. Colored men fought in the last war because the constitution guarantees all citizens the right of bearing arms in the country's defense. That same document prevents unauthorized persons from searching and seizing houses and property, bestows the right to petition to the officers and law making bodies grants them the right to meet in any kind of peaceable assembly, bolsterse or otherwise, the right to vote, and on the question of religion says, to use the words of Frederick the Great, "every man has the right to go to heaven in his own way." Down in Tallahassee, Florida, last week, the legislature stopped in the reading of a petition from colored citizens, and would hear no more of it. Under the constitution, the legislature is compelled to hear petitions. But the South, as always, regards the ancient law of the land as a 'scrap of paper,' to be enforced or violated at will, usually the latter. Four thousand out of five thousand colored soldiers expressed their intention of staying in Massachusetts after being mustered out. No more Dixie for them. A hen now sells for as much as a fifty pound shoat sold for ten years ago. Nobody will sell a fifty pound shoat nowadays for it will soon be a fifty pound hog, and a two pound hog sells for— well figure it out for yourself with ham and pork hoovering over the half dollar mark per pound. Eldar Robinson of Atlantic City is being sought for the Police for the murder of his former chauffeur, strangely enough, the elder is the leader and founder of the sect known as "ill e and never die." The News referred to the two new, colored mem- bers in the City Council as "dark horses." Maybe but they are there to throw "light" on the civic conditions in colored sections. THE THIRD DEGREE a detective forces under me, for themselves no end of the administering of the "thin detected of committing crimes, broken, believed by many, the Brandon murder, tested through handling and enforced other "dope" which are unusual methods of the local confession."

BEFORE JULY FIRST. reasonable to ask the quest to do after July first? ar America sent one milt quar, chifly rum, to the c es the greatest export of d When the liquor interests become powerful enough to give spirits the right of way over flour and sugar, and "souse and pickle" a nation of savages, it is time for the conscience of the nation to take a hand. By careful steering of Lieut. Colonel Roosevelt and others, it is said the question of color, was not made an issue of the St. Louis caucus of the American Legion. The question may come up at the convention in Minnesota. Certain it is that separate posts will be insisted upon in the States where the numbers of colored members warrant, but it is a matter of congratulation that those in authority feel that any person good enough to fight for Uncle Sam is good enough to belong to the American Legion: PEOPLE'S FORUM Has virtue any reward? This is a question which a regrettable event of the last week has brought to mind more than once. The Bishop of the A.M. E. Church appointed a minister to serve a certain church in that community. Upon his arrival to undertake his ministerial duties he finds the doors locked and barred against him. He is told that he is not wanted. Why? There must be something radically wrong with a man for a Christian church to look its doors down. What did he do in Day when little children who have come to Sunday School to learn of the Christian life, had themselves? Why? A man must have wrought ill, indeed, to have not to himself but his whole family, including his children, with unpleasant things being most so humiliated in the community. With this view in mind, let us take a hasty review of the public life, of the man in Coming from a poor humble home in South Carolina, he has educated himself and reared a large family, all of whom are a credit to the city—one daughter engaged in a business enterprise, a son taken from school to serve the motion in its crisis, another daughter teaching in the city, while other the story of his family life, to which their place in the world. This is briefly the story of his family life, of which a man owes his first obligation. Let us now turn to his other activities. He is the efficient business manager of the A. M. E. Home for Age; it was through his untiring efforts that Mr. Zion Cemetery was purchased; he has built two parsonages; one at Easton and one at Cambridge; he is a regular visitor at hospitals and the Bay View Sanatorium, where he cheers and comforts. Aside from these, he is connected with numerous other activities which have for their aim: uplift and betterment. No breath of scandal has ever threatened his good name, as is too often the case with men in his profession. Even those who closed the church doors upon him will admit that he is clean, honest and fair. In his dealing as far as human judgment can be fair Then what excuse could they give for their unreasonable action? "He can' t be pleased." Then a church of 1,000 members dwelling in a country, whose rocked foundation is religion, minutes away from the counting of their professed Savior—who taught and lived the principles of sacrifice, brotherhood, and service—place high-sounding phrases and munch oratory, uttered by persons, who may be however unclean, usurpations and omissions, or who may not than the simple teaching from the lips of a man whose life is honest and open, will say, the witch. The straightforward language of the sermon on the Mount and the Parables, truths which are civilized, truths which are civilized, founded. They are the true interpretations of the Almighty Creator of the Bible by the honest-minded, pure New Testament. Yet the right-thinking people felt sure that this unaffectionate minister's woes were not the outrage that sent him there. A man with the moral stalemant of Bishop J. Albert Johnson and sadly unfortunate beforehand, and - having once placed a worthy man he was admired in disappointment, when it was learned that instead of the Bishop digging the church floor, it was digging the good man and his family upon such a plight excuse; how their actions, in face of the church floor, could displace church far more injury than King Martin could possible do in a lifetime of admiration, whom I always loved to liken the Bishop: "I made the appointment after good man; I am going to check him up I know that the majority of the people there need to be somewhere else, many removed, and another, not even a transferred man; but another ill-mature minister, replaced up and down the community with clients swelled out, crying "Look what we can do," we can do, because must he be. "Has virtue any reward?" JUSTICE. Defends Proposed Victory Hospital Whenever a big project is inaugurated in Baltimore for the public good, there are generally some persons who raise the cry, "it can't be done," so it was not at all surprising to see an article in the "Afro" last week raising this same cry with respect to the proposed "Victory Hospital." The author admits the crying need of a hospital for colored people and then goes into great detail, telling why colored people ought not to make the attempt to "supply that need. Before doing this, however, he first criticizes the men who have taken the initiative in the hospital project, acknowledging the white that the whole thing had been told him over two years ago. He winds this up, saying that he must be the direct luteology and of management of white people." When he says that the tiring over of the Union Protestant Hospital to colored men is probably right. The thing has been talked of for even a longer time than that, but it has remained true. He says that the hospital to arrange ties suitable to all concerned. He is likely a little off, however, when he intimates that it is not necessary to GIVE the hospital to the colored people. Such things rarely happen in Maryland! But if it will give the learned doctor any pleasure in the feel of being first broached, why we would certainly willing to give blim that honor. There will be honor enough for all in the acquisition and maintenance of the hospital. The wise doctor then says that a hospital must be run by other than voluntary subscriptions and then points to the dire condition that you have to have a "voluntary subscription" it not been for a "voluntary subscription" of Mr. Rockefeller. He does not add, however, that had there been no one who had been the only one who have been no need for any subscriptions at all. As a matter of fact, had it not been for a "voluntary subscription" on the part of Mr. John Hopkins there would have been no hospital to bear responsibility. But why waste paper to answer every objection that a "conservatives" makes? There are nearly half a hundred colored physalisus in Baltimore and it is a terrific subject. But the number admits that they have not sufficient ability to manage ONE good school. Such schools are certainly the people of Baltimore hope the opinion of this one physician does not voice the sentiments of all. "It can't be done!" WX? Who says, "Karen, you know?" People of the present generation have no faith in and small regard for those who are continually whining, whining while they respond, "I respect for you I will RESPECT for you I WILL TRY." Do we know what we can do-until we try? Will we lose our self-respect by trying? Even though we fail, are we not better as a race for having at least made the If WE need a hospital, WE should get one, and call for help from others. We should be prepared for efforts. It is wrong, nurture, to say the colored people are overburdened. They are not. Colored people are not in institutions for their welfare, and they have never, never heard their portion of expense in institutions for their welfare, and they will never, never heard they will do their share towards a Victory Hospital as they have towards the Y. M. C. churches. Provident Hospital and other welfare institutions. And it will become doubly a pleasure when we can give up the Wm. M. Alexander, lying in an ambulance, DXING and unable in gain admission into the one place where we are, and simply begun was COLORD. I do agree with the doctor that, the task before us must be accomplished without rattling and making jealousies or impressively rehearsing that in be the one to set an example. islion the people perish."

CARD OF THANKS CARD OF TRUST I take care of thank you the friends and patrons for the many kind attentions during the illness of my late husband, George H. Hooper, and for the sympathy to be beautiful loral tributes to his death. MRS. CARRIE, H. HOOPER There is a real improvement in conditions in the South. The better class of the colored people and the better class of whites are "getting together" in a serious effort to better the conditions of all concerned. But there is yet a determined group of whites, including several newspapers, all professing to be "without prejudice" and "the best friends of the Negro," who cling to the false theory and the musty, ancient belief that "this is a white man's country." The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, white daily, and the Macon (Ga.) Chronicle, recent editors, have sought to say that none but fools will say anything else, except that this is a "white man's country," regardless of what we have done, in whole or part, in peace or in war. It is very evident that much missionary work is yet to be done. MIGRATION In three years more than one half million black people, men and women and children, have gone out of the South to various parts of the East and North, encouraged by economic conditions and rich promises. Now the tables have turned and many Southern communities are in great need of labor, and a few Northern communities, particularly, Coatesville Pa., and latest Chicago, Ill., in another fashion, are seeking to repopulate the South. Cohesa a large population, the South sews, helps, but, with the Niggersoze back with their new fledged Northern ideas." Outside of a natural flow of people returning to visit relatives and a few "homesiskers" it can be, taken for an unquestioned truth, the black folk are not returning South. If there is industrial puletude, in some localities, and there is further movement, it is further North and West, rather than South. DuBOIS, MOTON AND SCOTT "Contending Forces" best describes the present state of affairs between W. E. B. DuBois, R. R. Moton and Emmett J. Scopt. Dr DuBois, with a wonderful vision of the ideal, has definite ideas of, the proper pathway to travel in getting the-goat of success, justice and hapiness. Dr. Moton and Dr. Scott with equal vision, are "pressing on," in all seriousness with the hope of reaching the same goal. It will be many days and will be "unpleasant," the doubt "will be" unpleasant with "definitive ends" in view and, hence, the two groups will continue to defy or ignore criticism from each other and go on their individual ways. JAMES REESE EUROPE It has been proposed that a National Musical Memorial day be held to honor the memory of the late James Reese Europe, the same to be the first Sunday in June. At that time a patriotic memorial address would be delivered, and music for the occasion would be entirely the product of our composers. GRAND ARMY OF AMERICANS For the moral, social, economic, educational and political welfare of its members, a Society is being formed at the National Capitol under the name of "The Grand Army of Americans" its membership to comprise the officers, soldiers and sailors of the World War, together with the officers of the Army, to the cause of distinction of race or color are to be drawn and the ramifications are to reach the entire United States. The opinion of Colonel Charles Young having been asked in regard to the project, the following is his statement: I deem the venture an important and commendable one, but would suggest (1st) that the provision that includes "the sons and daughters of officers and soldier and sailors would weaken the prestige of the organization. Let them form a separate organization; if they wish, (2nd) The word "political" should be used out party politics of all kinds and to include only the higher political aspects of Americanization safe and sound policy in our external and internal relations, and reverence for law and order in a common country only. It is a dangerous word in any constitution (3rd) I submit that overtures should be made toward merging such an organization with the American Legion now being organized by Lieut. Col. Roosevelt, if possible. By so doing, we are all working to a common end, presenting a more solid front to the difficulties and problems of this new day, may be better able to deal with them. This is this regard. I believe the opinion of a majority of American soldiers is now saying: It was not simply for white humanity, and for white freedom that the U. S. threw her sword into the balance with the Allies, but for us all irrespective of race, color or condition. Let America be friendly and free." ____ Private Wordell Jenkins of Co. C. 811 Pioneer infantry, with the A. E. F. in France, writes to the Ato-American: "When apples grow on cherry trees And tad poles sleep with bumble bees HILLEN—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear husband and father, Granville, who departed two years ago at the age of 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, WEEK AND CHILDREN Lieut. James Reese Europe known to thousands as "Jim" Europe, was born in Mobile, Ala., 40 years ago last February. When quite a young boy his family came to Washington, D. C., where he attended the public school. District and district music study music a musical family, his sister Miss Mary Europe and a brother, holding excellent musicians. About fifteen years ago, the deceased came to New York and secured jobs as a piano player. During the season of 1906-07 he went out as director of music for the Jolly John Larkins Company, and next was seen in the role of musical director with the Cole and Johnson Company. The musical hit of Cole and Johnson's Shooy Regiment was "Gay Luneta" which was written by him. Later "Jim" Europe was found serving as musical director of the Smart Set Company, and his last appearance in this capacity was with Bert Williams "Lode of Koal Company." It was in 1910 when the deceased came to the idea of dignifying the colored musician and entertainer in New York and he formed the Clof Club which soon became a clearing house for the Negro musician, who not only found it possible to secure more work but to get better pay. A few years later the founder of the Clof Club withdrew and formed the Tempo Club, which also did its part in elevating the colored musician. About this time dancing became extremely popular in New York and Negro musicians were in great demand. Through James Reese Europe hundreds of musicians were furnished weekly to members of the Four Hundred and wealthy people in and out of New York at fancy prices. On some occasions entertainers have been sent as far west as Chicago. In 1908 the Vernon Castle became the idols of the dancing public they secured the services of "Jim" Europe and his band. For months the colored musicians held forth at "Castles in the Air" the principal institution of its kind in Greater New York. When the Castles went on the road they insisted on taking the colored musicians with them, and of course under the direction of Europe. The high regard in which Mr. and Mrs. Castle hard "Jim" Europe was shown several years ago when they appeared as the principal attraction at a colored entertainment given by the deceased at Manhattan, Casino. They danced as if be fore a fifth avenue auditorium, spent time with Casino on the largest and most successful, entertainments were given at this place by "Jim" Europe. His first Clof Club Concerts will long longer in one's memory. -Lester A Walton in the New York Age. C. M. P. Conference Closes C. M. P.

Mr. Thomas Jones and Miss Brendan Marshall, who assisted Mrs. Mason in entertaining her guests. Last Friday he large and appreciative crowd of parents and friends witnessed a most credible presentation of "Quality Street" by the High School Dramatic Club. One outstanding feature of the program was the vocal job "Depuis je le joue de Miss Kathleen Brown," a role played by Alma Guck, and Miss Merritt's interpretation of it was splendid. Mrs. R. M. Shetta was the accompanist. The players were all good but especial mention should be made of Miss Katherine Johnson and Miss Gladys Brown, who were very finished players. This occasion also marked the debut of the Mondolin Glee Club, an organization that is very popular. It is the consensus of opinion that the playing of this club is far superior to any of its processors. The success of the affair is due to the players themselves, Miss Brenda Morryk, for the coaching, Miss Melia Young, who instructed the dancers for the coaching, Mr. Herbert Friskey for musical arrangements, and the same parents present were Mrs. John Wesler, Mrs. I. G. Chissell and Miss Constance Wharton.

As it was called, in reality a musical extravagance. The scenes were laid in Hawaii, and the costumes were very appropriate.

Baltimore Rich in Musical Talent Baltimore is awakening to the necessity that music—good music is a priority and that those who think must talk among the trifles of culture are in gross error, because from the beginning of the world it has been one of the most important instruments of truth, love or arising and governing of man. If you are worried, give it away with music. If you happen, you bring to your home worry from business. If you feel depressed in business, if you feel blue because of some trouble with some other kind of adult, not able to adjust, turn to music. Worry leaves because the music enters. Use music in the home or go to good剧院; it will lighten the hours that depression is seeking to hold on the spirit. "is the way Lieut. A. Balmus put it, in an interior with a reporter of the Afro-American, he said: 'Baltimore was awakened to the fact that good music is a necessity. It is only necessary to invite your attention the organization of the Aeolian symphony orchestra, to impress the urgency of the foregoing and truth contained therein. The assumed of the organization, is based on the best musicians of race in Baltimore. These men are playing in the local village along lines that appeal to the cosmopolitan demands and needy for several years each have his own followers. Prior to my musicist out of the city, I may know about my intention spending down in life (after several years in the army) and up in training. Acting upon the name of the "pioneers" of your symphony orchestra, I decided it is my desire to promote the best music of music, and am made a get-together meeting on Sunday, April 27th, the day of which was the Aeolian symphony orchestra. The purpose of this organization is to give to Baltimore an organization of musicians with pure love as their standard. These musicians have been demanding and gritty paid for the rendition of their music are giving, without hurt, their valuable time and money. Sunday afternoon to study the music of the music, the organization of music, and the only organization of mind of our race, in the world, is to serve to you a keeper appreciation and better understanding of music be programing at our hands the words of the masters. There is no other city in America occupied musically, than Amherst. But the trouble has been of unity—too many separatist organizations. If we expect our standards to New York, Philadelphia and cities with a recognized musician, we must unite in some more effort. The Acadian Symphony Orchestra and the Acadian Social Society invite the co-operation of the churches and the public general." THE SWANN HARDRESSING ROOMS Music Museum John George D.

Ave. The aim of the Daily Vacation Bible Schools is to take the children off the streets from four, to six weeks during the summer months, to keep their hands busy and to teach them Bible lessons through stories. The Daily Vacation Bible School movement was founded in New York in 1910 by the present International Director of the Association, Rev. Robert G. Boville, of New York, whose attention was drawn to the need of bringing together idle children, idle churches and idle students during the summer, for community welfare on the East Side. As an experiment, five church buildings of the Baptist denominationation were opened for Daily Vacation Bible Schools, in which manual work, organized play and Bible Study went hand in hand. Those schools were so successful from the start that they were extended in following years and in 1905-06 were introduced into the churches of seven other denominations, through the cooperation of the Federation of Churches. In 1916 the International Association of Vacation Bible Schools was organized to continue the work of the National Committee organized in 1907. In 1917 the movement had grown to the extent that there were 402 schools in 88 cities. In 1918 there were 513 schools of which 33 were in Maryland. The Third Division. United Women of Maryland, of which Association Miss Eliza Ridgley is General Organizer, meets at the some of Mrs. James Peace, and has for its work the maintenance of a sick benefit fund and the organization National Biblical Schools for children. Several years ago, through the benevolence of Miss Eliza Ridgley and Miss Eleanor Freeland, the first colored Daily Vacation Bible School was started at M. Washington with Mrs. Estelle Hall as director, and under her able administration as chairman of the Daily Vacation Bible School Committee, the work has grown from year to year. During the summer of 1918, four schools were maintained by the Society at Sharp Street Memorial, Metropolitan, Ebenezer A. M. E. and St. James P. E. Churches, in which 400 children were enrolled. The schools were in charge of the most able directors; Mrs Ruth B. McAbee, Miss Ethel E. Johnson, Mrs Fannie M. Elles and Mrs Bertha Pennington, concluding the term with closing exercises showing accumulation of finished hand work of the children's industry and the special of Bible stories by the children to show how much they had profited by their teachers' instruction. The committee on the Centenary Fund of the M. E. Church during the session of the school last summer and said that it was exactly the kind of work the Memorial Committee wished to do. This year the Third Division prepared for its work by holding a States Rally at Zion Church, Pennsylvania avenue. May 8th, at which time $294.34 was reported.
