For the purposes of a cursory review of the History of the Negro Race in its relation to modern civilization, it is not necessary to begin with a dogmatic interpretation of the poetic imagery of a Hebrew myth, nor to indulge in pseudoscientific speculations about the place of the black man in the scheme of evolution or the effect of the rays of the sun on on skin color.
visitor and, to the New Yorker who has not the time to take a trip to West Africa nor to delve into anthropological research, it will be sufficient to look at the native of Dahomey who recently attracted much attention in this city, and whose perfect Semitic features, coupled with a skin that might be called black and hair like what is set down in the books as characteristic of the Negro, attest to the planting of the seed of Abraham on "Terra Nigritarum" long before the meeting of the Jew and the European Gentile.
---
Whatever may have been his origin or the cause of his physical characteristics, the Negro has been known as a part of the human family from the dawn of the civilization which is the heritage of the Western world. Although there is no evidence to show that the Negro, the black man as the Spanish and Portuguese traders and navigators rediscovered him in the fifteenth century, was ever the exclusive or dominant occupant of the only Africa known to the ancients, it cannot be doubted
whose principal habitat is now and seems always within historical times to have been south of the Sahara, did exert a tremendous influence on the civilization of all northern Africa and constituted an important element in the makeup of that ethnic rebus, the Egyptian of old.
What is true of Egypt is essentially true of every nation that had to do with the founders of our civilization. It was in Egypt that the Israelite met the Negro as fellow slave and, if the monuments of the culture of the Pharaohs are worth anything, as master. From the region of the Nile the adventurous children of Abraham pushed their way southward toward the sources of this mighty current, leaving the indelible imprint of their sojourn upon the country which is now called Abyssinia and upon various groups of the people of Eastern Africa. Westward across of the great desert and toward the Niger some of the members of the lost tribes wandered and, when a Negro visitor of the nation of the Yoloffs related at the court of King John of Portugal that not far from the confines of his own state there dwelt a nation of Jews of great antiquity, the sacerdotal attendants of his Christian Majesty began to think that there must have been some motive other than the vengeance of a just God which had led to the dispersion of the Jews so many centuries before the crucifixion and the subsequent destruction of Jerusalem by the legions of Titus. The Portuguese have since had ample opportunity to verify the statement of the Yoloff
As the Jews have gone into the country of the Negroes so also, when they crossed the Red Sea, they took with them not only as "hewers of wood and drawers of water" but as integral parts of their very being, specimens of the stranger people whose peculiar color had aroused the scientific curiosity of the strangers in Egypt and given rise among them to the tradition which Moses has so graphically set forth to account for the origin of the Negro in accordance with the Hebrew theory of the creation. The one fact of paramount importance in the History of the Negro is the wide diffusion not only of alien blood in the country proper of the Negroes, but the spread of black blood among peoples who are today arbitrarily classified as of unadulterated white races. Continuously from the decline of Rome, the same influences which led to the presence of Hebrew stock in Negro Africa have carried the Arab, the Persian, the Indian and the to Negroland, and taken the inhabitation thereof to Eastern lands. In the days of Imperial Rome, the Negro or Negroid was found side by side with the Briton and the German in the slave marts and in the legions of the Caesars. In those days, barbarian was barbarian and savage was savage, and the occasional reference in extant Roman literature to some man of black skin, thick lips and coarse did not mean that the individual possessing those qualities was to be regarded as necessarily and inevitably inferior to those of his fellows
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914
like the fair haired British slaves whom Gregory called "non Angli sed Angeli," presented such a striking physical contrast not only to the Romans themselves, but to most of the people from whom their army and their laborers were recruited. In the United States at the present time a man who is ancestrally one-half Chinese, one-fourth Scandinavian, one-eighth Hindu, one sixthteenth Cherokee and the rest Mandingo would in a large number of states be legally, and in all states according to custom and popular stupidity, made to fit in with the spelling book description of a Negro. To some moderns, the science of anthropology consists exclusively in arbitrary numbering and classifying of the varieties of mankind and in spurious analyses of the blood of individuals in the effort to assign it to one or other of the orthodox sources, but to the Romans it appears that the main interest in man was the strength of the arm of an individual on the field of battle or in the pursuits' of peace.
With this fact in mind, the most superficial student of history of Roman matrons and maidens over the brave soldiers who took consorts from among the peoples whom they had subjugated and never more returned to Indian soil, that not a little Negro blood is represented in the hyphen of four or five centuries between the Roman Conquest of Britian and the time when the Saxon came to meet the Angle in the Anglo-Saxon.
To many this will seem an unwarranted and sacrilegious assault upon a cherished image, but truth is always an iconoclast, and the overwhelming probabilities are that under the Roman empire, if not indeed since the time the Phoenicians brought tin from Cornwall in exchange for the products of the Mediterran countries, the Negro and the Negroid were well diffused over the greater portion of Europe then inhabited and particularly in that part which would be most anxious to deny this assertion. With the fall of Roman and the destruction of its system of civilizing contact between peoples by means of a magnificent military government, the flow of black blood into the veins of Europe was checked until the coming of the Saracen into Southern and Eastern Europe. To the Mohamme-
dan the only system of classification of human, beings is the faithful and the infidel, as with the Roman it was the citizen and the barbarian and, consequently: there was no let or kindrance to the coming of Negro, either as slave, or, with more or less admixture, as master, into the countries dominated by the followers of the Prophet until the Goth and Gauls checked the Moors in their advance toward the Pyrtenees and ultimately repulsed them from Spain. The current of Negro and Negroid slaves or slave-traders was then turned eastward from Sicily with the other elements in the nondescript Mussulman, and it was from Turkey that, several centuries later, Peter the Great obtained the Negro attendant who was destined to become the forebear of Alexander Puskin, the father of Russian literature.
But the lull in relations between Africa and Spain which resulted from the expulsion of the Moors and Negroes from the latter country was not long to last. In 1474 there was in Seville a large and flourishing colony of genuine Negroes and mulatoes, well treated by the King and people, and under the immediate control of a mayoral or judge of their own, who was appointed by the King. From these, a generation later, the first Negroes in America were drawn. There presence in Seville, according to the chronicles of the time, dated from the end of the fourteenth century, when some Negroes were brought thither as slaves At this time, however, the Negro of the more extreme type could not have been a familiar figure in the southern portion of the Peninsula, for we are told that when, in 1442, Antao Goncalves brought to Portugal a party of ten of these whom he had received in exchange for some Moorish slaves captured by him in the previous year, their color excited wonderment among the inhabitants of Lisbon.
But the Portuguese were not long to be strangers to the Negroes, for, what was at first a thirst for discovery and adventure, coupled with an earnest desire to bring all the heathen into the true faith, soon degenerated into the most revolting system of self-aggrandizement the world has ever known.
At the time of the discovery of America, the Portuguese had already discovered and explored the whole of the western coast of Africa, had formed settlements at Maderia and at various places on the mainland and established a modest but growing trade with the Negroes and Moors in the products of their country and, to a limited extent, in slaves. Slavery had existed among the Negroes, as among all primitive peoples, as a means of disposing of the enemy captured in war or of lightening the burden to the
community of the presence of its weaker and inefficient members. As such it had existed among the Romans and had continued in Europe, not merely in the milder forms of serfdom and vassalage, which saw their finish only in the nineteenth century, but actual chattel slavery was still prevalent, all along and on both sides of the Mediterranean long after the Portuguese began the purchase of Negroes from Negroes, Arabs, and Moors. The development of this trade depended on the demand for this commodity, which was very limited in Europe. On the other hand, the country of the Negroes offered many fields of mutually beneficial intercourse to the Portuguese and their black friends, so that in these early days their relationship was one of respect and co-operation. We find, for instance, that an aspirant to the throne of the throne of the Yoloff nation went to Portugal and obtained the assistance of King John, who placed at his disposal twenty Portuguese caravels with which to make war against the powers that were in Yoloff, Before Columbus saw San Salvador a King of the Congo had sent his children and grandchildren with large retinues of attendant to Portugal to be educated in the Portuguese and Latin languages, and it is said that two of his descendants returned to their country as bishop. The influence of their training and calling might have had a more enduring effect upon their people, had not the dominant motive in European intercourse with these people been changed from one of mutual respect for mutual benefit, to one of degradation of the simple, confiding Negro, anxious to get away from the isolation of countless ages, only to become she prey of the cupidity of the white man. The Portuguese, the first christain nation to come in contact with the Negroes of West Africa, were the last to abandon the lucrative slave trade made possible by the discovery of America.
The facts of the history of the Negro in America are too well-known to receive any but the briefest mention here. More than a century before the Enlish brought Negroes to Virginia in 1619, the Spaniard had introduced black slaves in their possessions from Hispaniola to Peru, and from Florida to what is now Argentina, in order to supply the demand for labor which could not be filled by the intractable Indians or by those whose docility had led to their speedy extinction under the arduous tasks imposed upon them by their greedy and exacting masters. Throughout America Negro slavery was identical in its essential features. Primarily an economic institution, it became deeper and deeper ingrained in the social and governmental fabric of the countries of the New World according as it became increasingly profitable.

FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
Story of _How a Virginia Schoolgirl Won Her Laurels Through Own Energies—Founder and Organizer of Home For Wayward Girl—Educator, Author and Business Woman.
Roanoke, Va.—The Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Miss Maud Reynolds of this city is the organizer, is one of the most helpful organizations in the state for work among young women and girls. Its activities, however, are not confined to the female portion of the race alone, but are exerted in the best interest of the people generally in the various communities.
Miss Reynolds has worked her way to the front and desires to spend a life of usefulness for her people. She is one of the busiest women in the country. She was born in Petersburg, Va., but at a very early age her parents moved to this city, where she received her early public school training and where she is now conducting a hairdressing parlor. She finished the public school course in 1900 and graduated from the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute in 1902. She taught school for five years, making a reputa-
MISS MAUD REYNOLDS.
tion as one of the best teachers in the entire school system in Virginia. She was loved by both pupils and their parents.
In her business establishment she uses the most modern methods and keeps on hand a fresh stock of all necessary material for the accommodation of her patrons. Her parlors are on High School street, and she numbers among her customers some of the leading people of both races. She is energetic and endeavors to render the very best service to her patrons.
As busy as Miss Reynolds is with her many business cares she devotes considerable time to uplift work among the people. She organized a city federation of women's clubs consisting of a Civic Betterment club, Mothers' club and Charity association, each of which is doing its work well and bringing good results to the race. It is the first time in the history of Roanoke that the playground system for children of the race has been introduced.
She is president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the state organizer, and at the same time she is state organizer for the W. C. T. U. In these positions she has the confidence of the women throughout the state. She is doing a great work for the development of womanhood.
Miss Reynolds has written a booklet on "How to Organize and Conduct Women's Clubs." This has been placed in many hands and has been of great assistance to the women. She has made a special study of the work. In educational movements she is to be found in the front rank doing anything in her power for the advancement of the young people in an educational way. She is secretary of the State Alumni association of the Virginia Normal and Industrial college at Petersburg, Va., and treasurer of the City Alumni association. Her special effort is centered in a state home school for wayward colored girls, and in this movement she has invited all the women of the state to join. Within four years they have purchased a farm of 147 acres at a cost of $5,400, about $1,500 of which is yet to be paid on it. For the home the state has appropriated $1,200, and just as soon as the people can convince the state that they mean business other appropriations will be made and the institution put on a permanent basis. The work of building will soon be started, and then more will join in the work. Several men of wealth have promised to contribute to the erection of the building.

when we remember that slaves were
treated as animals and deprived of all
educational opportunities and that in
most southern states it was a crime
to teach a Negro his letters, and when
also we recall that even in the north
they were excluded from the public
schools, it is truly remarkable the
progress the race hag made since Hb-
erated.
Considering the fact that the civil
war freed 4,000,000 Negroes who were
absolutely iiliterate and perfectly des-
titute, the story of their educational
progress since is in many respects the
most marvelous chapter in the history
of American civilization.
Public schools were established in
Ohio in 1821 largely through the ef-
forts of Ephraim Cutler of Marietta,
but taxes were not compulsory and
were authorized for the purpose of
building schoolhouses and not to em-
ploy teachers. The schoo! uniform tax
law was passed in 1825. In all these
early laws no mention was made of
colored puptis. In fact, tt was univer-
sally understood that Negro children
had no right to enter public schools,
and this sentiment was crystallized
into law in 1829, when bia¢ks were
prohibited by statute from attending
public schools.
This remained a law for twenty
yeara, In 1849 provision was made by
law for the establishment of Negro
public schools where twenty or more
children of school age resided.
‘but it was stipulated that no white
an should contribute by taxation to
such colored school. Where there were
Jess than twenty ‘they could attend a
white school—provided “no white man
objected.” As some one usually ob-
fected and as the Negroes paid but lit-
tle taxes, the law proved of small bene-
ft Some improvements in the law
‘were made in 1853, but it was not until
1887 that the obnoxious biack laws
‘were repeated and Negro school pupils
were accorded equal rights with the
whites. :

WELL MANAGED SCHOOL
Progress of the Utica Institute Under Professor W. H. Holtzclaw.
Utica, Miss.—The Utica institute, located four miles south of here, is recognized as one of the leading institutions in the south for the education and advancement of Afro-American boys and girls. Under the wise management of the president, Professor William H. Holtzclaw, the school is meeting the needs of its large student body in a most satisfactory way.
Seeing the great need of industrial education in the south, Mr. Holtzclaw struggled strenuously under difficulties to plant a school to give the young people, especially of Mississippi, a chance to acquire such an education as would fit them for making their way through life.
During its eleven years of existence the school has done a wonderful and commendable work. Graduates of the school since its establishment are filling nearly every position in the walk of life with honor to themselves and credit to their alma mater. The enrollment this year was over 500, coming from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Cuba and Mississippi. The high class work done by the institution places it in the front rank. Perhaps nowhere in this country can be found an institution that is more alive to the needs and best interests of its students.
The character of its work was clearly shown in the fact that at the state fale-held in Jackson, Miss., in October, 1913, the school won first prizes for nearly every department exhibit, notwithstanding every school in the state was represented, and the Utica Normal and Industrial institute was the younger of them all.
The faculty of the school consists of thirty-two well trained young men and women, some of whom are graduates of some of the leading institutions of learning in this country.
Professor Holtsclaw was born of humble parentage on a farm in Randolph county, Ala. Starting with such education as was offered him in his home county he made his way to Tuskegee institute, where he worked during the day and went to school at night for four years, when he graduated from that institution with honors.
The school held its commencement exercises recently. Ten young people received diplomas and certificates. This is the largest number of graduates ever sent out from the school at one time.

Success of the Rev. George L. Davis, A. M.
Former President of the Baptist Ministers' Conference in Philadelphia and For Ten Years Minister at Second Baptist Church Accepts Call of the Shileh Church In Columbus, O.
Philadelphia.—Unusual honors have been given of late by the Baptist brotherhood of this city to the Rev. George L. Davis, A. M., D. D., the retiring pastor of the Second Baptist church and a former president of the Baptist ministers' conference of this city and vicinity. It is doubtful if in the history of Philadelphia a retiring minister has received more indications of the high esteem in which he has been held and of the sincere regret occasioned by his departure.
Dr. Davis is regarded as one of the most scholarly men and finest spirits among the colored ministers of Philadelphia. Always dignified, gentlemanly and courteous and always master of himself, even under the most trying circumstances, his calm presence, sound advice and impressive personality will be missed by the ministry and by his many friends in the City of Brotherly Love. He leaves Philadelphia in the very near future, having been called to the Shiloh Baptist church of Columbus, O.
Dr. Davis was born in Danville, Ky., in 1870. His early training was received in the public schools of Indianapolis, Ind., where in 1885 he was converted and joined the New Bethel Baptist church of that city. He rose rapidly in the esteem of his pastor and fellow church members, filling in turn every office within the gift of his mother church. From 1886 to 1895 he was president of the Indiana state Baptist Sunday school convention, which was at that time the largest organized

REV. GEORGE L. DAVIS, A. M.
Christian body in the state. He organized the state B. Y. P. U. and also the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission society and was vice president of the Indianapolis local union of Endeavors, a white organization, and editor of the Endeavors' Life Line. In 1881 he was licensed to preach by the New Bethel Baptist church and the same year entered Lincoln university, graduating from the college department in 1890 with the degree of A. B.
Upon entering the theological department of Lincoln Dr. Davis was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church of Media, Pa., which had at that time but fourteen members. Nevertheless, with untiring energy and perseverance he labored unabatingly until, with a greatly increased membership, he succeeded in erecting a beautiful stone church edifice at a cost of $8,000. He graduated from the theological department of Lincoln in 1902 with the degrees of S. T. B., A. M.
In 1904 he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church of Philadelphia, and in that year, too, he was married to Miss Frances Anderson of Greencastle, Pa. Mrs. Davis is a highly accomplished and refined woman of rare good nature and good looks. She is in every way an intelligent and fit

ting companion for her husband—gracious genial and sympathetic, a cultured sister always to the members of her husband's church. Dr. Davis has served the Second Baptist church as pastor ten years, during which time the debt of the church has been entirely canceled and the membership increased. No breath of suspicion has ever rested against his name. He was president of the Baptist ministers' conference of Philadelphia during 1912, and in that year Lincoln university conferred the degree of doctor of divinity upon him. The call to the Shiloh church in Ohio has been but recently accepted.
On Thursday evening, April 23, a splendid reception was tendered to Dr. and Mrs. Davis by the citizens of Philadelphia in co-operation with the members of the Second church and the Philadelphia ministry. Among the many tokens of esteem which Dr. Davis received at the reception was a purse of $100 from the members of his church and a gold watch charm appropriately inscribed from the Baptist ministers' conference of this city.
Quick Service
THEY were queer looking soldiers in their short jackets and knee breeches, but they could fight," said a Union veteran of the zouaves. "We boys had lots of fun in camp making sport of them, but on the field they proved that a man didn't have to wear a regulation uniform to make a good soldier."
The idea of dressing in the showy uniforms, imitations of those worn by the French zouaves, appealed to adventurous, unconventional spirits in the north at the opening of the civil war. One of the most noted of the zouave regiments was recruited from the volunteer fire fighting force of New York city, a body of men whose respect for law and order was not always strong enough to prevent them from enjoying a rough, turbulent time. These were the famous Ellsworth zouaves, led at first by Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, killed at Alexandria, Va., in the early days of the war.
Washington beheld them with interest when they marched into the capital in response to President Lincoln's call for volunteers, but the interest was mixed with anxiety when the city saw the manners of the Bowery prevailing on Pennsylvania avenue. But for all that it made much of the New Yorkers, especially after the latter did heroic work in fighting a big fire in the capital city.
In many places the history of the war is dotted with mention of the zouaves. They had the usual proportion of skulkers and shirkers, of course, and men in whom the duration of war wore thin the sense of duty, but on the whole the records of the zouave regiments compare creditably with those of others. Their gaudy attire, in which red was the prevailing color, made them good targets when they met the enemy.
The same zouaves were especially noted for their proficiency in drilling and gave exhibitions in northern cities. Memorial day parades in some of the big cities generally see turnouts of some of the zouave survivors. They form invariably one of the most conspicuous features of the processions. The name "zouave" is African in origin. The Zouaoua are or were a tribe of Kabyles living in Algeria. When the French assumed control over that country, about 1830, they found that the Zouaoua would make good fighting men and organized them into two battalions. French officers were placed in command, and some French soldiers were admitted to the ranks, adopting the distinctive Moorish dress, sometimes with European embellishments. Later the regiments were composed entirely of Frenchmen, but the distinctive Moorish garb was retained.
Now the souaves form an integral part of the French army, being organized into four regiments of five battalions each, divided into four companies, the total strength being about 13,000. There were papal or pontifical souaves in the days of the temporal power of the pope, and they fought gallantly against the Italian occupation of Rome.

(To all the Negro Babies in America)
Darling, sleep and stop your crying
Sleep and dream of gnomes and
fairies,
Dream of giants, and little Brownies,
And the Golden-bird that carries
Messages to frogs and crickets
Telling them of darling's joys,
That he's tired and must be sleeping
And to please to hush their noise.
Darling, sleep while I am crooning
This sweet lullaby to you;
Close your eyes and wake in Dream
land
Where the fairies wait for—who?
Wait for you, my precious darling,
With your tired little head:
Let your mind roam 'round in Dream
land
While your body rests in bed.
Darling, sleep while darkness hovers
Over all the beauteous light,
Soon to pall it and to wend it
Into dark mysterious night.
Slep and linger in the blessed
Land of rest and joy and mirth;
And perhaps tomorrow's living
Will be better by your birth.
—C. Leslie Frazier.
(As published in the "Cambridge Advocate," March 14th, 1914. Next week we shall publish, "To Sleep! To Sleep!" one of Mr. Frazier's new lullaby poems. This is the only authorized publication of this lullaby prior to it's being published in connection with other poems in a volume dedicated to the Mothers and Babies of the Race. The title of the book will be "Fond Mothers and Babies.")
THE STEADY SUBSCRIBER.
How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber
Who pays in advance at this time of each year,
Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly,
And casts 'round the office a halo of cheer.
He never says—"Stop it, I cannot aford it,
I'm getting more papers now than I can read;"
But always says—"Send it, our people all like it—
In fact we all think it a help and a need."
How welcome this when it reaches our sanctum,
How it makes our pulse throb, how it makes our heart dance; We outwardly thank him; we inwardly bless him—
The steady subscriber who pays in advance.
BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT. J. W WILLIAMS MAKES FINAL PROOF.
Mr. J. W. Williams was down from Dearfield to make his final proof on his homestead, S. W. ¼ Sec. 31, T. 4, N. 61 W. P. M. Mr. Williams is the second one to prove up. One other has given notice for proof and five others are eligible to prove up. Mr. Williams has been offered $4,000 for his homestead and says if it is worth that much to the man who has never lived on the place it is worth $10,000 to him as a home. He was one of the first settlers in Dearfield and went through hardships and made sacrifices that no other settler will have to undergo, as conditions are growing better each day for the people in Dearfield. Now that we have a town at our door, it will not be long before a homestead in Dearfield will be as comfortable and convenient and accessible as one within five miles of Denver. It is hoped that all settlers will make good and secure their homesteads by rigidly following the law and doing just what the law says in making their homesteads their permanent homes. Dearfield has some five and ten-acre tracts which can and will produce as much as $4,000, the amount offered Mr. Williams for his home with such a large lake upon it. We cannot afford for any Dearfield settler to fall or lose his "homestead," or land, by or through carelessness, ignorance or shiftlessness. We are again warning them to stay on their lands the required time because the government has its spoters out and the inspectors who check up the little local land men. "Don't be weighed in the balance and found wanting" by attempting to dodge, chest or defraud or "get by." because the government will catch you.

IMPROVING THE

Value of a Co-operative Edu-

RAW MATERIAL MADE USEFUL
How the "Schools In the Background" Are Contributing Toward the Race's Progress—Institutions Made Useful and Attractive Under Most Discouraging Conditions.
Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Jeanes board, often refers to the one room Negro rural schools in the southern states as "schools in the background." His description is as accurate as it is vivid. From the little rural schools come some of the best "raw material" to be trained at Hampton, Tuskegee and other industrial schools for useful and safe race leadership. To the rural districts of the south the graduates of Hampton and Tuskegee return as progressive teachers, mechanics and farmers for lives of willing sacrifice.
Recently a party of forty-eight thoughtful northern "pilgrims" to Hampton visited as part of the anniversary program some of the rural Negro schools lying near the edge of Hampton's home county and saw—evidently with thrills of surprise and delight—what colored women, trained and inspired by Hampton, have been doing to make the one room, overcrowded Negro schools useful and attractive, even under most discouraging conditions—the inertia and indifference of the parents, the lack of public school money and the irregular attendance of pupils, which is due to bad roads.
That there are some modern heroines, not all of whom are white, dawns upon those who visit these out of the way rural schools.
The gradual improvement of many "schools in the background" in Virginia, for example, is the result of a happy and well planned experiment in co-operative educational association. The Jeanes board, the Virginia state department of education, Hampton institute and the local school boards have pulled together and have demonstrated clearly that white people and black people, northerners and southerners, can work together on a common platform at social service for the education of country boys and girls who need for their life work good rural schools and, above all, capable and faithful teachers.
Jackson Davis, a well trained young southern white man of charming personality, has served most efficiently for four years as the state supervisor of negro schools in Virginia. He reports that last year the twenty-five colored industrial supervising teachers, working in twenty-seven Virginia counties, helped the rural colored teachers of the state in introducing cooking, sewing, home making and manual training in their schools and put new life into many Negro communities. The result was that the Negroes themselves raised in twenty-five counties nearly $25,000 in cash for the improvement of their school buildings, lengthening of the school term and the improvement of physical equipment.
Such evidences as well made dresses, aprons and underwear, attractive jors of canned vegetables and fruits, useful baskets of raffia and white oak, fresh garden vegetables and neat papers in arithmetic, spelling and composition indicate that the Negro race, with the help of young Negro men and women who are properly trained for teaching and are disciplined for service, is making progress and that the "schools in the background" are making their contributions to the race's progress in spite of neglect, isolation and the lack of general public interest.

"LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET" PRESENTED BY CAMPBELL USHERS' CLUB.
Campbell's Usher Club successfully presented "Lady Audley's Secret" before 250 people, Tuesday night. The profits of which went for the benefit of the rally. The beautiful staging the promptness with which each amateur actor took his or her part, the excellent display of electrical demonstrations, together with the vivid climaxes and effects clearly evinced the audience that the production of that heavy two hour drama deserved great credit for all concerned. Campbell should at once organize a dramatic club, now that she knows her talent. Mr. Claude F. Davis, in the role of Luke Marks, the drunken gamekeeper, along with Lady Audley played by Mrs. Sanford Caldwell, certainly entered deeply into the character and spirit of the play and rung from the audience applause after applause. Then came Mr. Wm. Hawkins, as Sir Michael Audley; D. D. Howard, as Robert Audley; George Talbeys, the forgotten husband; Mr. Sanford Caldwell; Miss Ethel Fitchue as Alicia; Phoebe Marks, Lady Audley's maid by Mrs. Alfred Gardner; Soloist, Miss Jennie Hicks and Mrs. Clark Craig. Musical director. Assisting were Messrs. Leland Washington, stage manager; Claude F. Davis, electrician; D. Howard, carpenter; Wm. Hawkins, advertising agent; Alfred Gardner, press agent. The dramatic action displayed by all clearly developed the opinion that it would only be a question of time until Campbell Usher Club would have a dramatic society second to none in the city. Each actor did fine.

Mme. Crummer's Methods Highly Commended by Miss Roxey Ocrey.
Miss Roxey Ocrey, who came from Springfield, Illinois, 4 years ago to Denver, was a member of Household of Ruth 190 in that city, previous to her transfer of membership to Household 376 of this city. Miss Ocrey won, through her faithfulness, loyalty and open friendships, many friends within and without the order. She was highly respected as a member of Shorter church and of several clubs in the city. Miss Ocrey previous to her leaving Denver for 1119 Adams St. Los Angeles, Calif., took a course of three months, as a student in Mine. Crummer's Parlors, learning the Scalp Specialty and hair treatment as taught by the Mine. She studied the various diseases of the scalp, face and skin troubles and verified every statement made by Mine. Crummer, about the thorough effects and resultant benefits which would accrue to any apt scholar, such as was Miss Ocrey. Having been under the constant watchful care and observation of Mine. Crummer in her parlor on 15th St. and Glenarm St., and having carefully scrutinized the work in hair and scalp specialty, facial massage, together
with the latest treatments on the scientific and sanitary methods, ef, feecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair, Miss Ocrey, having now qualified herself, does not hesitate to unqualifiedly indorse and recommend the course to any one favoring such a vocation in life. Miss Ocrey who had had some experience before in nair culture, thinks Mme. Crummer's facial preparations, massages, scalp and hair specialty, cannot be excelled.
"I feel that because Mme. Crummer has advertised and does now advertise in all the theatre programs of the city that she, as scalp specialise will pay $100 for any unhealthy or bald scalp that her treatments will not restore, if treatments are properly followed, and because I am convinced that her guarantee to grow hair on bald heads and bare temples, and remove freckles and wrinkles from the face, by methods used by the Mme., that words cannot express my satisfaction and commendation of her results.
"I know what her methods can do and are doing, and am not afraid to launch out on my own efforts to demonstrate to the public my belief and faith in Mme. Crummer's Hair and Scalp Specially," said Miss Ocrey just before leaving for California.

PROFESSOR JACQUES LOEB ON RACIAL INFERIORITY.
Great Mental Powers Are Not Limited to Special Races, He Says.
New York.—Professor Jacques Loeb of Columbia university in this city was prevented by illness from attending the recent conference of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held in Baltimore. The subject assigned to Professor Loeb was "Heredity and Racial Inferiority." Here are a few extracts from the address prepared by Professor Loeb for the occasion:
The modern work on heredity has shown that hereditary characters are as a rule not linked, but are transmitted independently of each other. It is therefore contrary to all known facts to say that with a pigmented skin or with a certain type of eyes must necessarily be connected a lower degree of intelligence or moral control.
Practically nothing is known concerning the mechanism or the heredity of mental or moral traits. It seems that certain talents run in certain families—that is to say, unusual mathematical ability, musical ability and talent for drawing. All known facts indicate that they are not limited to special races, but that they are the peculiarity of certain strains or families, independently of race.
We do not even know to what extent the development of mental and moral traits depends upon the condition of the brain and the nervous system alone, and to what extent upon the action of chemical substances produced in other organs of the body in the form of internal secretions. Until this is settled all positive statements
A.
PROFESSOR JACQUES LOER. concerning the heredity of mental and moral traits remain unwarranted. It is an open question whether with equal facilities and equal care the children of different races would show widely different mental and moral development. The statement expressed so often that intermarriage or mixture of races leads to degeneracy is unwarranted and contradicted, to some extent at least, by recent investigations. The experiments of Burbank, East and Schall have proved conclusively that race mixture may improve the breed. In view of these and other considerations the writer is of the opinion that it is not only contrary to justice, but also contrary to scientific facts to deny the colored people equal rights and equal economic, social and educational facilities with the whites.

|Jones by her own denomination and
,her many friends among the various
congregations. For years Mrs. Jones
,has been assisting every worthy cause
and a time came where recognition
of service and appreciation for the
same should lend encouragement to
‘the ambitious singer, and the people
‘responded en masse. It was a testi
‘monial great and grand. The Azalia
‘Hackley Choral Club with whom Mrs.
Jones spent so many Monday nights
at rehearsals and for which Society
she always took and played the lead-
ing contralto parts, was there “in
persona.” Shorter Choir for whom
Mrs. Jones has sung so often and
which musical body “always borrows”
Mrs. Jones, when needing any assis-
tance, also was there in a body, swell-
ing the inspiration to Mrs. Jones. Mrs.
Jones is as well thought of and ap-
preciated by the members of Shorter,
as by her own church. Other churches
‘and choir members were there to give
their presence and financial support
to Mrs. Jones. Zion certainly demon-
strated her appro il of the worth of
Mrs. Jones to the church, Friday
puiEne Mr. Geo. Morrison, the violin-
‘ist was simply great, his pleasing mu-
(ke so charmed the audience that he
‘influenced them like the gentle
zephyrs moves and sways the leaves
in the trees on a quiet midsummer
night. Mrs. Jones caught the inspira
tion and sang her best.

IMPARTIAL VIEW
OF SEGREGATION
subject Ably Discussed by
Dr. 6. E Haynes,
HINDERS FRIENDLY CONTACT
Conditions Among Afro-Americans
Enlightens Sociological Congress on
Racial Aspirations—influence of City
Life Upon Country People.
Memphis, Tenn.—One of- the most
forceful and logical addresses deliv-
ered before the southern sociological
cougress, which beld its annual meet-
ing here recently, was that of Dr
George Edmund Haynes. The subject
of his uddreas was “Some Conditions
Among Negroes In Cities.” Dr.
Huynes ts the director of the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Negroes and professor of social sch
ence at Fisk university. _
Dr. Haynes’ address was in part as
follows:
“Among the outstanding features of
national Iife today is the migration to
and concentration of Negroes in eit-
feé north and south. Following hard
upon the settlement in the cities there
fs a segregation which cuts off points
of friendly contact between white und
colored people, especially the better
elémdits, and shuts out the colored
people from many of the most desira-
ble forces of the common life. As a
Tesult the industrial, housing, health,
educationa! and other problems of city
life are more crucial than those among
the white people. The Negro’s. heroic
struggies to overcome his maladjust-
ment have greater odds against thelr
success.
“In discussing this matter the time
fs past for the passionate avowal of
opinions based merely upon feelings:
The facts must be carefully studied
and conciusion logically drawn. Our
attention to the needs of the rural Ne-
gro should include the influence that
town and city are exerting. In the
first place, the town and city are trad-
ee ee
in
SMO

f Ae
ae ?
OM a hg
ye Te OME oF a
a
ee eee a
Ing Ceters for the rural colored peo-
ple, especially in the south. On Sat-
urdays most farmers go to town.
“Following hard upon the concentra-
tion of Megroes in cities is the segre-
gation into districts and sections. In
order to secuz= better surroundings
than those usually” to be had tn the
sections where they have been accus-
tomed to live, Negroes of intelligence
and of high standards of living have
sought elther to improve their com-
munity or to move out of the ghetto.
Like other people, they try to shuffle
off the coll of their previous condi-
tion, But bere perplexing situation
confronts us. The modern sauitary and
other protective facilities for the Negro
neighborhood are not provided.
“It bas happened more than once
that the lives of respectable colored
men have been In jeopardy because
they took evidence to the city authori-
ties in futile attempts to protect them-
selves and families from bad infu-
ences, Is it any wonder, then, that
many Negroes seek to buy or build
houses in other neighborhoods? The
Gesire for and the effort to secure the
conventences and to get protection has
Fesulted in the segregation conflict.
Bince the desired benefits will not
come to the Negro, he undertakes to go
to the benefits,
“A more serious outcome of segre-
gation is the handicap of Negroes io
thelr efforts to earn a living. Four
facts about the industrial life of the
Negroes need to be borne in mind:
First, the masses that more to the city
ere unprepared to meet the exacting
requirements of modern industry ead
to racé the Keen competition of sire
efMcient laborers: second. educational
facilities to train the aspiring. strog:
gling searchers for better conditions
are not provided in are Negro nelgh-
borhood of any city. notth or south.
‘The frst experiment is @ vocational
‘school to be opened in Oincinnatt thir
spring: third, that mized in with the
ignorant nnd the*inefficient are the
Inzy and the victous. The hope of re-
ward has been #0 often deferred that
their hearts no longer respond. The
‘won't works’ come to the city with the
‘can't works.” Along with these three
facts does not the fourth arise? Are
not the white emploxers of this Negro
labor complaining and blaming the Ne-
gro instend of understanding the situn-
tion and providing him with ample op-
portunity to overcome bix deficiencies ”

IN MEMORIAM.
In loving remembrance of our beloved sister, Mrs. David Della Barksdale Braggs, who departed this life, June 6th, 1906.
I cannot say, and I will not say
That she is dead—she is just away.
With a cherry smile and a wave of the hand
She has wandered into an unknown land.
I think of her still the same, I say;
She is not dead—she is just away.
