In the trend of events that have so vividly marked the progress made by the advance guard of Northern philanthropists and missionaries who sacrificed much, bore more, and suffered untold persecution in order to bring morality, education and culture after the Emancipation into what was commonly known as the ignorant South, has been watched from far and near, from home and abroad, by individuals and nations to see just what the outcome would be, and whether the Negro, who was the object of this movement, begun years ago, would really profit by the sacrifices made and the philanthropic efforts put forth. Any one who witnessed the commencement exercise last night at the Ryman Auditorium and saw that unusually large class of men and women identified with and members of the race of people for whom these efforts were made, could not refrain from saying that much good had been done, a noble task performed, a good fight made, and a gallant victory achieved for the cause of education. It would take many pages of closely printed matter to adequately describe the success achieved and the blessings brought about by such schools as Meharry Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical College. The very name Meharry has become a household word throughout the length and breadth of this country. It has gone out into the islands of the sea, down into Mexico, and the countries of South America as the enrollment this year indicates. Students from South America and different groups of the Antilles have become so numerous that the school is equally as well known in St. Kitts, Barbados, or the other islands as it is in the states of the Union. An enrollment during the past school year of nearly five hundred students is an excellent testimonial of the growing popularity of an institution that stands at the top of all medical schools. This is the enviable record that was made and proclaimed during the year 1908, a fact that cannot be denied, a record worthy of holding. It has been said time and again that in order to know a people you must either live or become one of them. The venerable Dean of Meharry, whose life has been spent with the Negro in the South, attests this fact. He attributes the increased attendance each year to the fact that the faculty of the school is principally made up of men and women of the race, guided by that class of whites that consecrated their lives to the service of our people. The faculty, both white and colored, by its harmonious work has brought about remarkable results. It was apparently only yesterday in the minds of the older people when the school was in its infancy. To-day it towers heavenward in the estimation of thousands, and apparently it will only be the mowrow before it will spread out almost into the unknown, so large and so universal will it have grown. This will be made possible no doubt by the contemplated improvements, the most notable of which will be the building of a hospital that will be commensurate both in building and equipment with the standing and reputation of the college. While the city enjoys two distinctly Negro hospitals, the school feels the need of one that can afford its in 2 4 FACULTY AND GRADUATES MEHARRY MEDICAL, DENTAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL COLLEGES DENTAL PHARMACEUTICAL Walden ~ 1909 University ternes the latest and best training in hospital work preparatory to sending them out at their chosen professions. The Salutatory, "Medicine a Progressive Science," by J. G. Shaw, A. B., of the State of Mississippi, upheld the reputation of a state that has always made a creditable showing in the race's progress. Mr. Shaw spoke in the most concise and effective manner. The audience gave him marked attention and applauded frequently. The Pharmaceutical Valedictory "Yesterday and To-day," by P. S. Thompson, of Tennessee, can be easily placed in a class of proficient renditions. He proved by his forcible argument of pharmacy that it plays an important part in the medical world as an aid to physician and dentist, and an important factor in the home life. The music that was rendered immediately after was very inspiring. The Dental Valedictory, "The Evolution of Dentistry," by J. A. Napier, of Tennessee, added lustre to that department of the college, which was fortunate in getting such an able representative for the occasion. Much has been and is still being said about the profession. The speaker covered the ground in such a way that the audience never tired of the beautiful illustrations drawn and climaxes reached. The medical department was represented by C. S. Powell, of Tennessee, who as Medical Valedictorian gave to the audience a true touch of oratory mingled with facts [Name] [Portrait of a man in academic regalia, likely a professor or scholar, with a long white beard and a graduation cap.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1909. in a great speech which if the school is to be judged by its worth places it upon a still higher plane. His subject was "Tuberculosis." Mr. Powell said: TUBERCULOSIS. We are heirs to the civilization of all ages; we are the vanguards of future generations; our heritage was wrought at the forge of others. As a recompense we must pave the way for the generations yet unborn. The physician's part is to guard the public health and to warn the people of dangerous foes lurking in the garb of disease. Man is great; sublime has been his attainments in science, and most wonderful his creations in art. But the science of medicine is so complex, with its myriads of theories and unsolved problems, that its mystery has baffled the most skillful minds. It has so recently emerged from the purely speculative stage, that its theoretical element still remains conspicuous. Medicine is truly an eclectic science which indiscriminately incorporates and utilizes every known science and art which may be made subservient to the accomplishment of its grand and noble purpose, viz: to maintain the normal physiological functions of the body in health, correct pathological processes in disease, and aid the body and mind to respond normally to their surroundings. To-day great problems confront humanity; the race problem, but this is being solved by the Anglo-Saxon and his brother in black; the strike prob- [Name] een Dean of the College since its organi ng his forty-fifth year of nearly contin uing the colored people of Nashville.

Our greatest problem, our gravest offender, our most insidious foe, is a great and hideous monster which we abhor, but which we tolerate. He is undermining the bulwark of health and happiness, and with his death-dooming teeth, he is gnawing away at the vitals of our civilization. "Tuberculosis," "The Great White Plague," "Consumption," if you please, dwells with us as an unwelcome guest. Not only has he taken his abode with the human family, but he lurks in the system of the lower animals which we use for food, and from this unseen ambuscade he sallies forth with all the ravages of destruction. While tuberculosis is a term known only in the nomenclature of modern science, its clinical features were well known and described by physicians of antiquity. Hypocrates wrote of the clinical features of Phthisis four hundred years B. C. Three hundred and fifty years later Celsus described three forms of this dreadful disease. Fifty years after Christ, Aretaeus, a physician of Capidocea, wrote a treatise on the clinical features of Phthisis that would reflect credit on a modern physician. He was wise enough to prescribe for his patients hygienic treatment and dietetic measures, and to recommend that they go to the seashore and subsist upon a diet of milk and eggs. After the contributions of Aretaeus and Galen, our knowledge of Phthisis was scarcely improved until the nineteenth century, when Dr. Robert Koch, of Germany, had the honor of discovering its real cause: a rod-shaped micro-organism which he termed "The Bacillis Tuberculosis." Through the discovery of the immortal Koch, the profession became, in possession of knowledge which enables us to fight this deadly disease on a purely scientific basis. Tuberculosis or consumption is a specific and infectious disease, caused by a specific micro-organism, the Bacillus Tuberculosis, gaining entrance and multiplying in the system, and characterizing its work by the formation of tubercles or nodules composed of epithelioid cells, giant cells and tubercle bacilli. The bacilli, in the process of multiplication, generate poisonous toxines destructive to the cellular and inter-cellular elements of the body, and are disseminated by the lymphatics and blood stream through the system of the infected victim. We know its cause; we are familiar with its nature; we know it is the greatest scourge to which the human family is heir, and the fulness of time has, indeed, come when we must unite all of our forces, medical, social, educational, and legislative to slay this vile monster that is attacking the "citadel" of society and sowing the seed of degeneracy in generations yet unborn. Every individual is the offspring of two parents from whom he inherits characteristic tendencies. That tuberculosis is a disease directly transmissible from parent to child has for centuries been a firm belief. But that children of tubercular parentage do inherit a tubercular diathesis, a consumption (a soil) productive to the growth and development of the germs of consumption, is an established fact. How long then shall we remain inert, with our arms stacked and our (Continued on Page 3.) No.14. APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCES AT MT. OLIVE BAPTIST AND FIRST BAPTIST CHURCHES HEAR THE DISTINGUIISHED LADY — RACE SHORTCOMINGS ABLY DISCUSSED—STRONG PLEA MADE FOR BRAVE MEN—STRONGER STILL WAS THE PLEA FOR COURAGEOUS WOMEN — PITFALLS LAID FOR NEGRO WOMEN GRAPHICALLY PICTURED—ABLE, INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE. The long expected and much talked of occasion anent the coming of Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs has passed into history, and now lingers in the minds of Nashville people. Great speakers men and women, have occupied the attention of the citizens time and again. Nashville has singularly honored each visitor and through its record, both metropolitan and cosmopolitan, gave honor to one of the greatest and most noted orators now before the public, one who is espousing the cause of the American woman in no uncertain tone, with a forceful and eloquent delivery that has challenged the admiration of the inhabitants of two continents. Miss Burroughs occupies the distinguished position of Secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention; founder and manager of the Training School for Women, which is located in the Dictrict of Columbia; and promoter and moving spirit in the Douglass Improvment Company of Louisville, Ky. She was here Monday and Tuesday nights under the auspices of the Ladies' Missionary Union, composed of the allied missionary and educational organizations of Nashville. On Monday night at Mt. Olive Baptist Church a special program was rendered, but it was 9 o'clock before it began. The first number was an instrumental solo by Mrs. Broughton-Jones, of Memphis, who was classical' and entertaining; the invocation by Mrs. M. H. Flowers was followed by remarks by Rev. C. H. Clark, the pastor, who was also master of ceremonies. The duet by Mesdames Henderson and Jones and a solo by Miss Ella Hendry were next on the program. Mrs. V. W. Broughton introduced the speaker of the evening. In her remarks she covered the splendid career of the visitor, outlining in a very entertaining way just what the women of the United States, especially those identified with the race, are accomplishing through the leadership of Miss Burroughs, who is looked upon as an able, safe and courageous leader. Miss Burroughs, after making some preliminary remarks concerning the purpose of her visit which she outlined as being especially in the interest of the women of Nashville, proceeded to speak on the "Call of the Present." It may be that people know or think they know the "call of the present," but those who heard Miss Burroughs Monday night now see it in a different light. They were at least favored with a woman's view of of this duty, one who is able through actual contact and years of experience to see the needs, or the present demands that are being made on our people. It would be impossible to follow her forceful remarks without giving her entire address. "But," using her own words, "in order to stamp the subject more indelibly upon the minds of the people, I have reduced my vocabulary through my own mathematical process for the rest of my life to three very short and concise sentences." She led her hearers step by step up to this point and then told them that the sum and substance of her remarks from henceforth, regardless of what platform, would be the following three sentences: First, "Get Busy;" second, "Make Good;" third, "If Not. You'll be Beaten 2 —_—_—_ toaFrazzle.” She went on to define and enlarge each sentence, showing the absolute necessity of her people get- ting busy in church, in business, in politics, and in every walk of life. Then she took up her next sentence, “Make Good,” declaring and proving by logical argument that the impera- tive demand of the hour was for the entire race to “make good” and that it could not be done without concerted action and strength of purpose on the part of the individuals working in uni- son and in harmony. Her illustration of the artist, Michael Angelo, and one of his pupils was a beautiful picture drawn to convince the race that as Michael Angelo wrote “amplius,” “wid- er," under the work of his pupil that our people must get “wider” in our effort to keep busy and “make good” in order to take in, not only the rich and refined and educated, but lift those oul of the gutter, that are des: tined to keep the race down. She scored many whom she declared she had personal knowledge of who were trying to get out of the race, She told an amusing ineident of an ac- e re os ie ‘el \; sill d Lg! eee HN uy J SN MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS, Corresponding Secretary Woman's Convention, Louisville, Ky, quaintance who had called to say good- bye, saying that he had to go—he could not stay. She remarked that she said to him that she was glad he had decided upon some purpose and that while he was going there would be something gone but nothing missing. Her argument was to the ef- fect that the entire race would be bet- ter off with all such people gone. Numbering as we do only about 10,000,000 as against 80,000,000 of what is termed the Caucasian, she de- clared that we know the worth of each member and can see whether he is doing anything worth while. Her third and last sentence, “or you will be beaten to a frazzle,” cannot be just- ly described. Her argument covered one fact after another, brought about and described one condition after an- other, giving a solution of each. She scored as a telling point the beating to a frazzle of our race especially the would-be politicians, the attitude of the present administration toward those who had jumped over into the “band wagon” on the eve of the cam- paign; those who had dodged issues and silenced their guns on the out- rages that had been perpetrated. She declared that the present policy of the administration, with possibly a few exceptions, had beaten and was beat: ing the officeholders and_ politicians to a frazzle, She paid a glowing tri- bute to the matchless Ohioan as a champion of American Citizens’ rights and fair play. On Tuesday night at the First Bap- tist Church, East Nashville, the pro: gram varied but little. Owing to the wind and rain, which began about § o'clock, rendering the weather so ex ceedingly inclement that it was dan gerous to venture out, it was 9:30 be fore the program was begun, and at that hour the well-trained choir, un: der the leadership of Mr. King, sang an appropriate anthem. So inspiring was it that the audience forgot the storm raging without. Rev. 8. E Griggs, the pastor and master of cere monies, apologized for the lateness o! the hour and said that he was not re sponsible for the weather program Miss S. Brown sang a_ solo; prayer was offered by Dr. A. M. Townsend after which a solo “Raise me, Jesus’ was effectively rendered by Miss Ge neva Bender. Mrs. Broughton intro duced Miss Burroughs, who declare that it was then too late to begin ¢ lecture and that by her time it wa’ time to quite speaking and not begin In order more forcibly to drive th point home she told an anecdote say ing that a white friend had extolle the ability of a young Negro boy t¢ his many friends, declaring that th boy was able to give an answer to al most any question. Finally he an¢ another friend were passing one da and saw this boy and after compli menting him highly in the presence o' the visitor the man wanted him t say that he could answer any ques THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1909. tion, but the child stoutly refused to be positive only saying that he would try. The Caucasian then asked the boy if he knew what time it was by his large, ebony, flat nose, to which the urchin replied: “I don’t know. Mine aint running, is yours?” She said she wanted to know if the watch- es of the people in the audience were running, that her's was and it was too late to talk. Yet for more than 30 minutes she gave those present an essence of what they might have re- ceived in the way of a lecture had the weather permitted and the hour not been so late. There was hardly any one present that doubted her ability to handle herself and her audience. She dwelt at length upon being “con- stant and consistent” as individuals and a race. She delivered a solar plexus blow to all knockers, declaring that while the race was not united on any subject or any effort, be it re- ligious or secular, that there was an or- ganization, national, state or local, with an active working force in every city, town, hamlet and crossroad—in fact, she said, “wherever two or three of us are gathered together the organi- zation has some member present known as a knocker, and that regard- less of who attempted to do some- thing, this element was present to dis- courage and defeat good intentions and efforts.” The weather man dished out the hardest rain and the biggest thunder-storm of the season in connec- tion with the program. VISITORS IN THE CITY. As is customary for this season of the year, which marks the beginning of the commencement exercises of the various schools, there are quite a number of visitors in Nashville, be- ing particularly attracted by the com- mencement exercises of the depart: ments of Meharry Medical College. Some are old students who have gone out into life and returned to witness the graduating of students from their alma mater, who latnch out into the unknown, which remark has very oft- ‘en characterized the going out of the professional young man. Others are jhere because they have friends and relatives who received their diplomas last night. A general exodus will be- gin to-night and to-morrow, and by Monday of next week hardly any of ‘the friends or students will be seen in Nashville. eee IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

Nashville will be the objective point and the Sunday- Sckcol Congress the attraction, while the departmental work of the denom- ination will create the incentive. No information could be given as to who would be in charge of these delega- tions, but it is understood that special invitations have been extended to Sunday-schcol workers and the emi- nent divines in the Bastern States up as far as New England. Acceptances and replies have reached headquar- ters from such pastors as Dr. W. A. Credit, Mr. John Trower, Drs. E. W. Moore, W. G, Parks, G. L. P.

A recent letter from Dr, S. W. Timms, of Brooklyn, removes all doubt of his coming, as it states that he has arranged to at- tend. The secretary further states that regular and constant correspond- ence betwen his office and the chair- man of the Trunk Line Association of New York City has been kept up, giving full information on the Con. ‘gress, so that rates could be secured, ‘From Cleveland comes the informa: tion that Drs.

While it is yet early to give out positive in- fermation, these parties whose names are mentioned are especially interest: ed to the extent that thy are working and planning for an increased attend. ance from their various states. All doubt as to the number of delegates from the various sections will be re- moved as soon as the rate is an. nounced, BISHOP AND MRS PHILLIPS EN: TERTAIN AT EASTER } BREAKFAST. Last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock Bishop and Mrs. Chas, Henry Phillips served a beautiful and most elabo- rate breakfast at their home, “Sun- shine,” on Twelfth avenue, North. The breakfast was given in honor of two visiting ladies, Miss N. H, Bur- roughs, of Louisville, formerly of Washington D. C., and Mrs, George C. Hall, wife of Dr, Hall, of Chicago. The four-course menu had been planned for these two distinguished visitors in order that they might partake of the hospitality of some of the Nashville people. Those invited to “Sunshine” to meet them were Mesdames James L. Hunter, M, H. Flowers, A. B. Car- ter, Preston Taylor, H. T. Noeel, I. B. Scott, Geo. W. Henderson, F. A. ‘Stew- art V. W. Broughton, H. A. Boyd, Miss es Minnie Mae Hunter and Lady Emma Phillips and Mrs. C. H, Phil- lips. Just before entering the dining- room the hostess called the names of the guests and they filed in as their names were called. Bishop Phillips offered prayer and Miss Lucy Phillips furnished music for the occasion.

BOYD, Secretary, 523 Second Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES. The First Sunday in Nashville Fitting- ly Observed by Most Church-Goers. The customary habit of large and frequent service at most of the church- es on the first Sunday of each month did not vary last Sunday. There were the usual Sunday-schools in the morn- ing which, according to reports, were largely attended in all parts of the city. Hardly one of them reported a falling off, on the contrary, in most cases, an increased attendance was no. ticed—whether this can be attributed to the approach of Haster Sunday, can only be a matter of speculation. The eleven o'clock service in some of the churches was larger than usual, notwithstanding, the annual. baccalau- reate sermon programmed for the Southside and which drew on some of the churches very largely. Several of the churches ‘that usually admin- ister the Lord’s Supper at their morning service postponed it for the evening. In the afternoon a general outpouring in large numbers was ob- served in some of the leading congre- gations. The day was an ideal one, although the wind was high and the dust furious. It looked at one time curing the ¢vening as ‘though a gale blowing and that it would wind ‘up in a Norther before night, but this Was a general disappointment as Sun- dey tight was a most beautiful one ‘and the churches at their night sery- ices were comfortably filled, Many re. vivals are still in progress. St. John A. M. E. Church has opened a revival and is reported to be having splendid success, The Second Baptist Church on Deluge and Stevens streets, is also in the midst of a revival, having started last Sunday. The general re- port Monday morning was that Sun- day was an excellent day in every sec- tion of the city for church and Sun- | day-school work, Mrs. Hall, the wife of Chicago's noted physician, Dr. Hall, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Hunter, of 1309 Hynes street, this week. Mrs. Hall arrived in the city last Wednesday and remained over Sunday. During her stay she was the recipient of much social attention. She was dined by quite a few friends and was shown Nashville and its places of attraction. Miss Georgia Watkins, who was operated on last Monday at Wilson's Infirmary, is doing nicely. Mrs. Gus Tellis and children, Gussie, Jr., and Martha Evelyn, of 1712 State street, returned last Tuesday from a visit to her mother, Mrs. Dalton and sister, Mrs. Lula Wade, in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. A. C. D. McClellan, who was a member of the '09 class of Meharry, is now in San Antonia, Texas for his health. Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Louisville, Ky., passed through Nashville on Tuesday en route to Florida to attend the Florida Baptist State Convention. The students of Meharry have about all left the city. Many left orders for the Globe to be sent them. Miss Mattie Ewing, of Stevens street, who has been seriously ill for three weeks, is able to be out. Mrs. Lucy Bright, of Stevens street, is indisposed. Mr. Ned Muse, of Tenth avenue, South, is very sick. Mr. Lewis Hill, of Patterson street, who has been confined to his bed for some time, is able to be up. Mr. and Mrs. George Washington Hainey, of Herman street, have a fine boy. Miss Jessie Montgomery, of 913 Gay street, is very ill. Mrs. Ed Lowery, of Huntsville, Ala., after spending twelve days with her daughter, Mrs. H. A. Boyd, left for her home on Tuesday morning. Prof. R. D. Moore, of Rome, Ga. will visit the city during the coming session of the Sunday-School Congress. Among the summer visitors to Nashville will be Mr. W. H. A. Nesbitt, of Macon, Ga. Miss Louretha U. Chambers, the efficient private secretary to Rev. W. S. Ellington, is confined to her home on account of an indisposition. Mrs. R. H. Vorhees, wife of the popular dentist of Eighth avenue, North, recently returned home from Montgomery. Miss Louise Hill, of the Harding road, who has been sick for five weeks, is able to be out. Mrs. Mamie Price, who has been very sick for the last three weeks, will be able to be up and out in a few days. Mr. Jeff Edwards, of 801 Twenty-first avenue, who has been sick for some time, is slowly improving. Mrs. J. H. Kelly, Jr., of Bass street, was confined to her bed for a few days last week.

ONE HUNDRED FIVE GRADUATES sentinels asleep, while we hear the advance of this demon of death, as he rides with unbridled audacity through our homes, and with his sickle of death cutting down one-seventh of all the human family and laying his sickled inheritance at the door of posterity? How long shall science under a flag of truce, bend her suppliant knees in illusive despair? Thousands of children are born annually, handicapped by a lowered vital resistance handed down from tuberculous parents. They are either cut down in infancy or grow up weaklings to die prematurely from some other disease which thrives in the soil of their consumptive system. As long as there is one person in our fair city suffering from consumption, the life of the whole public is endangered. The bacillus tuberculosis knows no royalty; he regards no color line; he invades the most stately mansions and carries on his mission of 1910 C. S. POWELL, Tennessee, Medical Valedictorian. death as in the most lowly cabin. From the lips of the blushing maiden he waves the death wand at the loving suitor who steals the wanton kiss; and the eyes of Cupid are saddened with tears ere the river of love blends with the ocean of years. We must fight this dreaded monster, we must fight him in the homes, we must fight him in the schools, we must fight him in the legislatures, we must fight him at all times and in all places. We must teach the uninformed that a patient suffering from consumption is a menace to the public health, and is far more dangerous than one suffering from smallpox or diphtheria. For smallpox, thanks to the immortal Jenner, we have the vaccine virus; for diphtheria, we have, the antidiphtheritioserum. But to the patient in the deadly clutches of tuberculosis, the medical profession can extend only a feeble hand, and that only to the intelligent and wealthy. who can aid the physician by fleeing to better climates and carrying out strict hygienic and dietetic measures. But, alas! for the poor poverty stricken individual of our city, who contracts tuberculosis, it would be better, by far, had he not been born; he is doomed to dwell in the shadow of death with this ghastly demon gnawing away, one by one, the fibres of life; his lungs, his internal organs and the very marrow of his bones, are honeycombed and melt away, while he waits patiently for the silvery cord of life to be broken. The people must know that this dreaded disease can only be conquered by proper living, cleanliness, pure air and sunshine; our lawmakers must know that tuberculosis must be isolated and that tubercular men and women have no claim on matrimonial life. Sanitaria must be established for the poor, poverty-stricken tubercular patients as are asylums for the insane or poor houses for the pauper. The United States government spent enough money sending our naval flotilla around the world to establish a tubercular sanitarium in every state in the Union. The civilized nations have spent enough money in war ships to sweep Tuberculosis from the face of the earth. The renowned Koch discovered the specific cause of tuberculosis. The duty devolves upon the profession to discover a specific cure. There is no disease to which the human family is heir, but that its remedies are resting in the bosom of science, could we but fathom her depth and bring them to light. Although the night is dark, already the vanguard of medical science heralds the dawn of a brighter day when tuberculosis shall bow to the magic wand of science, and go the way of yellow fever and other scourges that once perplexed the medical profession. Consumption is no longer regarded as the curse of the gods, a hopelessly incurable disease shrouded in mystery whose pathway leads to the brink of inevitable death, or simply the result of catching cold. It is a curable disease. But its curability is dependent upon the intelligence of the patient as well as upon the skill of the physician. In its treatment two ethological factors must be considered. Through prophylactic measures, the germs must be excluded from the system; and the patient's vitality must be improved, his "Opsonic Index" so raised, that in the great warfare between germ and cell, the cell may triumph and nature may effect a cure. As a means to this end he who seeks relief from this disease must institute proper living, hygienic surroundings and cleanliness; and avail himself of nutritious food, pure air, sunshine and congenial climate; he should seek mountainous countries, which smile in the eternal bliss of sunshine and pure air, where health and vigor laugh in the blossom of youth. When the people are educated as to the cause, nature and scope of this disease, then, and only then can its ravages be abated. Members of the faculty of Meharry College, most worthy, instructors: College, most worthy instructors. It has been your ardous task to impress upon our minds the science and art of medicine; it has been your duty to implant in each brain and heart the germ of knowledge whose perfect growth shall form lives of success and whose fruitage shall be a life well spent. How well you have discharged your duty the future alone can tell. We tremble as we are about to leave your feet to assume the responsibilities that confront us. We have relied upon your wisdom and guidance. Our life's work depends upon how well we have assimilated your counsel. We are about to launch our little craft away from the shipyard, away from the master builder's hand; we are about to venture upon the great sea of life, where storms are fierce and waves dash high. No longer will you be our captain to guide and to assist. Our own eyes must watch the compass and scan the chart; our own hands must hold the rudder and adjust the ship to wind, and wave, and storm. But with confidence in ourselves and implicit faith in what you have taught, we launch out. We bid you an affectionate farewell. Dr. Hubbard, noble sir, it is the pleasure of my life to extend to one so eminent as you in the culture and and uplift of my people the heartfelt gratitude of a race. It is in the lives of noble men that we find our greatest inspiration. You have taught us the lesson of a life devoted to a grand purpose, a life of sacrifice, a life of toll, and the exemplification of a steadfast and immovable character. You have exemplified your life in all of the influences you have thrown about us, and may our lives re-echo the principles you have taught and the examples you have laid. Through your zeal and steadfast purpose, you have been the means of building a great institution; upon your work Providence has pronounced a most kindly benediction. Now may your old age be one sweet allegory of pleasure from thoughts of a life well spent, and if it be joy to know that labors of love are not all in vain; if it be pleasure to know that seeds of kindness bear rich and abundant fruit. may that joy and that pleasure be yours in grandest proportion. With hearts full of love and gratitude, the class of 1909, one and all, bid you an affectionate farewell. Dear classmates, the time has come when we must strike the eternal note of sadness. We have come to the parting of the way. We'll stand together to night for the last time on this side of the distant peaks of eternity. No more will we burn together the midnight oil; no more will we work together on the human anatomy and drink from the fountain of therapeutic art; no more will we respond to the calling of the roll. But let us go forth like valiant soldiers with a strong and cheerful heart, "Tho' we toll mid the shadows and our fields be far apart." May each one, as he goes through life, play the part of the scholar and the man and be a living monument to the Meharry Brothers and exemplify in his life our noble motto "Pro Deo et Humanitate." [Name] J. W. E. BOWEN, PH.D., D.D., President of the Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. Citizens of Nashville, to you, the people of this fair city, we came, as strangers, seeking knowledge. It is in your midst we have tarried thus long with pleasure and profit; from your midst, we are about to depart to pursue the mission we have chosen in the great field of life. We have enloved the hospitality of your homes and have been elevated by the refining and moral influence of your social life. When these brows, how flushing with youthful vigor, shall become withered by the advance of years, perchance, we shall look back to this fair city, and see, anew, your loving faces as bright sunbeams gleaming amid the shadows of the past. The Choral Society of Walden University again rendered excellent music to the delight of the audience. The able address to the graduating class by Rev. J. W. E. Bowen, D. D., President of Gammon Theological Seminary at Atlanta, Ga., was the crowning event of the evening, Dr. Bowen, exceedingly eloquent and apparently at his best, gave to the audience composed of the citizens of Nashville and visitors from nearly every state in the Union, a touch of oratory that will not be forgotten in days to come. It is hardly possible to describe the force and eloquence with which Dr. Bowen spoke to this immense class going out to do professional service. One thing he did which will linger long with every individual not only of the class but of the audience, was to admonish them above all things to take with them for their companionship the comforting Savior, the guiding Spirit, and the exemplary life of the lowly Nazarenes. Conferring the degrees by Dr. Kumler and Dean Hubbard took some time. Many of the class received handsome and valuable presents from friends and relatives. The benediction closed the exercises which for brilliancy and grandeur, together with point of attendance, have not been excelled in Tennessee's capital. CLASS OFFICERS. Dental—M. L.

He was given prolonged applause by the audience. --- The Walden Glee Club, composed of young ladies, rendered excellent music last night, as did the men's quartette. WASHINGTON AT MEHARRY COMMENCEMENT. Dr. B. T. Washington was among the throng of spectators who sat and listened to the splendid exercises last evening. He was introduced after the program and spoke for about ten minutes. 4 The Nashville Globe. The Nashville Globe.

STATE SCHOOLS. When the General Assembly of the State reassembles on April 19, one bill that will be likely to receive attention in the Senate is the educational bill passed by the lower house a few days before the adjournment was taken. It will be remembered, this bill as passed specifies that only one State School is to be established for Negroes. It further stipulates that less than $17,000, or about one-seventh of the sum total set aside for State Normal Schools, be applied to one for colored students. The Negro population of this State is about one-fourth, which justly entitles them to a like proportion of the appropriation. Again, this State maintains a university for whites that is an institution of the first magnitude. Negroes cannot attend this State University according to the law of the State. It is claimed that a few students are admitted to the agricultural department, but no one has been able so far to find them. But granting that the claim set up is true, that is no reason why such a discrimination as has been made by the lower house of the General Assembly should be allowed to go unchallenged. We have called attention to this matter at other times, but if anything has been done by the Negroes to remedy the evil it has been done in the most secretive way. It is seemingly the same old story with our leading men or those who are expected to lead in matters pertaining to the welfare of the race—lack of unity of action. Every one wants to have the bill framed in such a way as to guarantee that the school will be near enough to his home for his children to go to lunch at recess, when as a matter of fact, if an appropriation is made for a Negro school by the State Assembly, the body creating the institution will have brains enough to know that the thing created will have to be located, erected and maintained. The prime objects at this time are the appropriation and the provision that the institution be established on principles that will be to the best interest of the Negroes of Tennessee. We should close our ears to every plea, except the establishment of a Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College, and that the amount appropriated for that college be one-fourth of the amount set aside for educational purposes. Every request made for appropriations for other institutions weakens that made for the State College. On Monday and Tuesday nights of this week one of the leading women THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1909 of the country, Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, was filling engagements in this city. The weather on the first night was ideal, but that of the second night was not. However, at neither time was the crowd what it should have been. This does not speak well for Nashville. Opportunities to hear lectures given by persons of national standing do not come often, but when they do the people should take advantage of them. Nashville is favored above many other cities with attractions that draw the men and women of national reputation to it, and since it is true that Negroes are not admitted to lectures by white men who are invited here, they should have a greater desire to hear those of their own race who are thrown in contact by reason of circumstances with the leading thinkers of the world. Miss Burroughs is a deep thinker and a convincing reasoner. It is unfortunate that so few availed themselves of the opportunity to hear her. TWO OR THREE WITNESSES. Recently one gentleman on a street car remarked to another: "That party is Mr. So and So." The party referred to was not conducting himself in a way that would allay suspicion. His mission was believed to be one of law-breaking, and of a grave nature. If it could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he was, the community would be greatly benefitted. But the Negroes of Nashville weaken on that point. It is an easy matter for a policeman to apprehend some poor thoughtless fellow who perhaps has stolen less than a dollar's worth of food or clothing, but when some one who has wealth is committing deeds that are sapping the life out of the race it is hard to find a single man who will stand up and say it is so. Consequently every effort to stamp out the evils that are doing so much toward our destruction are met with that truth that has stood the test of time: "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." A SUCCESSFUL YEAR CLOSED. The exercises at the Ryman Auditorium on Thursday night brought to a close another chapter in the history of Meharry Medical College. One hundred and five received diplomas, giving them the right to go into the different states and appear before the boards of examiners and qualify for service. Their missions are of great weight and many sacrifices will be required of them. Their constituents will be in the main people of little means, which signifies the young physician must have patience and be resourceful. We are in receipt of a copy of the first issue of the Journal of the National Medical Association, Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, is the editor-in-chief, which is sufficient guarantee that the literary feature of the Journal will be up to the standard. The mechanical work is done at Tuskegee and speaks well for the students of that institution. One of the best evidences that Easter is near at hand is the nature of the weather. Those who have purchased straw hats and light apparel may be persuaded by the weather conditions to leave them in the wardrobes Sunday. The conclusion has been reached, if reports are true, that the Tariff bill will be voted on to-day. Friday is called the unlucky day, but the people will welcome a settlement of the tariff question any day. COMMUNICATIONS Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky., who lectured here two nights during the week on the subject, "Call of the Present," is a brilliant woman of splendid intellectual attainment. The manner in which she presented her theme well sustained her reputation as an able, forceful and eloquent speaker. Her lecture was logical and full of that information, advice and encouragement calculated to stir into activity the mentality of the most lethargic and inspire those who are endeavoring to do something with a larger vision of hopefullness. One cannot listen to the words of this gifted woman without feeling a renewed interest in the battle of life; one cannot listen to her without a deep sense of his individual and racial responsibility; one cannot listen to her without feeling that it is his duty to take his place with those on the "firing line" and do battle with might and main, believing that victory will come, as surely it will come to those who fight together in a common and righteous cause. Miss Burroughs is one of the strong women of the race who, with tongue and pen, is doing noble service for her people, and she is a credit to them. Too much cannot be done in the way of holding up her hands by showing appreciation for what she is doing and planning to do. There is no place or room for flattery here; only wellmeant commendation for a woman eminently worthy of it. This woman's pluck and grit and indefatigable efforts put forth in the interest of the well being of her people will surely find a happy response in the worthy emulation of other noble young women in the times coming on. If her own life inspires the lives of others to noble living and doing, it stands to reason that she shall not have lived in vain. From the Members of Sylvan Street Baptist Church. We, the members of Sylvan Street Baptist Church, wish to express through the columns of your valuable paper our regret to lose our most worthy and esteemed pastor, Rev. Wm. Haynes. He has gone in and out before us for a number of years and has declared unto us through all these years the truth as taught in the Holy Writ. He has been most faithful and has watched over us as a careful shepherd watches his sheep, always giving wholesome advice under all conditions. It is with sorrowful hearts we give him up, but as God has seen fit to have him work in another field, that of education, we humbly submit, our prayers going with him for success in this work so that all who may obtain a Baptist education and know why they are Baptists. We bid him God-speed with prayers for the success of Roger Williams University. We say that the school has a man who is upright and honest and who will put his whole soul into the work he has undertaken. MEMBERS OF SYLVAN STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. BACCALAUREATE SERMON Rev. W. S. Ellington Delivers an Able Message Before a Large Audience In the presence of a magnificent audience that completely packed the Meharry Auditorium, Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church and Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, preached an eloquent baccalaureate sermon to the classes of 1909 of Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical College. The audience was made up of the admirers of both the school and the minister from all parts of the city. It was a beautiful demonstration of the esteem and rating of the divine who so ably delivered the message of the hour. Long before eleven o'clock it was evident that even this spacious auditorium would not be able to accommodate those who would take advantage of the advertised program to be presented on this occasion. At the opening of the service a glance over the audience was conclusive that Nashville was out en masse. The Choral Society of Walden University rendered excellent music. Prayer was offered by Rev. I. L. Thompson, of Atlanta, field secretary of the Extension Board of the M. E. Church, and then Dean Hubbard announced the speaker for the morning, stating that Dr. Ellington had rendered able assistance during the present year and that he took pleasure in presenting him on this auspicious occasion. Dr. Ellington announced his text from Mark 4:38—"Carest thou not that we perish?" He used as a subject "God's care and protection." Some able sermons have been delivered on these annual occasions by divines of national and international reputation, hence all was expectancy to see just how the standard would be upheld. Dr. Ellington delivered, according to the consensus of opinion, a sermon that for its logical and forceful delivery will long be remembered. He made beautiful pictures and delivered a message that each member of the graduating class and students of the entire university can carry home, pondering as he goes over the care of the Master, or God's protection of the human family. The entire audience was electrified by this sermon, which proved to be one of the ablest ever delivered in the auditorium. It can be well said that he again ingratiated himself with the entire student body as well as the citizens, who composed the audience. For forty- five minutes Dr. Ellington told in simple, but forceful, language how God cared for and protected individuals as well as nations, making his climax the protection and care that has been thrown around the people identified with the institution and the hundreds of students who have attended and are still attending one of the South's greatest educational institutions. At the conclusion of the sermon the speaker was showered with congratulations. SAN ANTONIO THE MECCA Dr. G. J. Starnes, a member of the recent International Congress on Tuberculosis, Washington, D. C., and specialist on all lung and chest diseases, in addition to the use of the Nebulizer, Compound Oxygen, and Compressed Air, is using the best remedies introduced at that Congress by the leading medical men of the profession.

A charming event for a happy company of young people was a party given Monday afternoon, March 29, to celebrate the eleventh birthday of little Ethel Duff, at the resident of her mother, Mrs. Thos. Duff, Edgehill avenue. The house was elaborately decorated. In the center of the table was a large cake presented to her by her auntie, on the top of which stood eleven little teddy bears. Many lovely and useful presents were received. The guests were Ethel Duff, Sadie, Couch, Mary J. Page, Evelena Couch, Lona Whittley, Hazel Duff, Georgia Whittley, Maggie Duff, Frances Irving, Eliza Demumbreun, Hortense Bramlett, Elizabeth Tinnon, Minnie Work, Samuella Anderson, Hattie McEwing, Irene Claybourne, Chas. Duff, Jr., William Irving, Jr., Andrew Dobson, Lucius Work, Mrs. Emma Young. Miss M. E. Hargrave furnished music for the children and they all enjoyed themselves to the highest. ANNUAL BANQUET Graduating Class of the Departments Banqueted. As customary, Dr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Hubbard tendered the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical graduates an annual banquet. These annual affairs have been so enjoyable from year to year that they are looked forward to with eagerness and expectancy by every student, as on these occasions they can look back over a school life of four years fraught with many hardships, as they gather round the festal board to partake of the generous hospitality of the venerable Dean, where are present the President of the University, members of the faculty, and the friends of the members of the graduating classes. The banquet this year was in every way up to the standard. The weather man dished out delightful weather, making the occasion all the more enjoyable. The menu was elaborate and the music rendered was appropriate. Short toasts and words of good cheer were the order of the evening. BIRTHDAY ENTERTAINMENT.

THE MEHARRY ALUMNI MEETING THE MEHARRY ALUMNI MEETING. There was a business meeting of the Meharry tAlumni on Wednesday a which time plans were laid and discussed for the ensuing year. Nothing could be learned about the election of officers, but it is thought that many of the old officers were re-elected. The literary meeting was Wednesday evening at 7:30, a special program for the occasion having been prepared. A very appreciative audience, consisting of members and friends, listened to an able address by Dr. J. T. Wendell, of Lexington, Ky. The citizens present were numerous, as Dr. Wendell is a Nashville product, a professional man that has achieved much success during his short time in the professional world. He is also an entertaining speaker as was demonstrated on Wednesday evening to the association. NO.26350—IN CHANCERY AT NASHVILLE, STATE OF TENNESSEE.

I think we would not call you back to this dreary world, so full of toil and weeping, not for the sake of those who need you most. "God knoweth best," we still must say, though our tears shall drop like rain on the place where you are resting. "Aunt Bell," as she was kindly called by her white friends, was a true friend to those for whom she worked and she always faithfully discharged her duties. On this the first anniversary of her going away, her grave was beautifully decorated by her daughter, Mrs. Addie Simmons, and white friends. At the grave "Must Jesus bear the cross alone," was sung. THE THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1909. The Standard Giants, the best baseball team in Nashville for the last five years, have begun their spring practice and will soon begin their season. Mr. John White, manager of the team, has stated that this will be his banner year, that he will have one of the best teams in the South. Quite a number of new faces will be seen in the line-up, but they are all good men and come highly recommended. He will have some of the fastest men the game has known, some of them coming from Kentucky and Alabama. Mr. White has been heard to say that his season will open in a few days and that he expects the team from Chattanooga to be the first one on his list. In talking with him and looking over his mail it was found that most of the cities will be represented by teams this season, and that these teams will be seen in action in Nashville. Birmingham, Macon, Memphis, Atlanta, Decatur and Columbia seem to have the strongest teams they have ever had and are bent on beating up the team from the Rock City. That Mr. White is going out for business is plainly seen in looking over his corerspondence. Letters are to be seen from all the large cities and towns asking for a chance to play in Nashville. And from all indications the Standard Giants are making ready to give them a warm time. With a good team and a new park baseball will be on the boom in this city all season. The managers of the new park are planning to have at least three games per week and state that they will give the patrons only high-class ball. Only the best teams will be brought here, and nothing will be left undone that will tend to improve the game. It has been rumored that season tickets will be sold and that these tickets will admit ladies to all games played during the season, that they will call for 21 games. Now that spring has set in, most of the boys are reporting for their daily work and before many weeks the crack of the horsehide will be heard on all the fields around town and Nashville will be the scene of many hard-fought battles upon the diamond. NATIONAL BAPTIST BASEBALL CLUB The line-up of the National Baptist Baseball Team for this season will be as follows: Baseball Team for this season will be as follows: James Shelby .....Right Field Henry Waters .....Center Field Chas, Hart .....Left Field Thomas Pennington .....First Base Ernest Smith .....Second Base James Cartwright .....Shortstop John Cheatham .....Third Base Pleas Alexander .....Catcher O.

The Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., of Birmingham, Ala., In- The meeting called for the purpose of increasing the stock of the Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., took place March 5, 1909. It was voted to increase the Capital Stock to $100,000.00. The Board of Directors reported to the stockholders that a settlement had been made with them before the New Stock was to be sold. This settlement consisted of a $12,500.00 distribution, accruing from Real Estate and a Surplus Fund to be given in the shape of New Stock, to the Old Stockholders, leaving $3,000.00 as a Guarantee Fund. This is in addition to the 6 per cent Dividend declared at the regular annual meeting on January 22nd, 1909. We want to place in the hands of the masses our New Stock. Dividends and distributions have been made to the old Stockholders, since the organization of the bank to an amount of over twice the original value of the Old Stock. This fact in itself is sufficient to recommend our New Stock, for with increased Capital we will be able to realize greater profits. We received deposits and subscriptions to New Stock by mail, and pay 4 per cent on Time Deposits. We own $75,000.00 worth of Real Estate, on which we receive a nice rental. Our officers and force are bonded and money insured in the National Security Company, New York. The New Stock will be sold for $5.00 per share until September 30th, 1909. Directors. W. R.
