NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY VOL. VIII. GREAT CROWD WILL HEAR DR. EL- LINGTON AT AUDITORIUM Committee Estimates a Record-Breaking Crowd--Ladies Will Precede the Mem—Out-of-Town Members Will Be on Hand to Swell the Crowd—Unparalleled Growth of the Order. The local lodges are making strenuous preparation for their anniversary sermon, which will be preached at the Ryman Auditorium next Sunday by Rev. W. S. Ellington, the scholarly pastor of the First Baptist Church and pulpit orator of renown. He is an active member of Friendship No. 72 and is in position to know what he is to talk about. It is estimated by the committee that the auditorium will be taxed to its fullest capacity on this occasion. Knights and Calanthes from nearby towns have written Deputy Grand Chancellor A. W. Fite that they will be on hand to add their approval to the occasion. Members of local lodges will assemble at the Pythian Temple on Fifth avenue. North, at 12 o'clock Sunday so that there will be no delay in reaching the auditorium on time. The ladies' courts will be at the auditorium at 1 o'clock. The musical features, as planned by the committee, will be of an excepcional high order. The choral society, under the direction of Prof. J. W. Work; the Meharry Quartette and the Fisk University Orchestra will render the selections. This feature alone, it is claimed, will be worth going miles to hear. All friends of fraternal orders should take advantage of this opportunity of enjoying a real Sunday treat. The parade will leave the Pythian Temple at 1:30 p. m., and will be under the direction of Chief Marshal, Col. Robert E. Gee, and his aides. There will be over two thousand Pythians in line according to the calculations of the committee. Anniversary Lodge K. of P. was installed at the Pythian Temple last Sunday. Twenty-five men were made with fifty applications pending. It is a very lusty Pythian infant. The Booster Campaign has had much success over the state resulting in the following new lodges: Standard and Anniversary at Nashville; Summer, at Gallatin; Kirkland, at Kirkland; Santa Fe, at Santa Fe; Lincoln, at Fayetteville; R. F. Boyd, Progressive, at Mt. Pleasant and a new lodge at Tullahoma. At Dunlap Sir Luther Cummings will add another lodge in a few days. The increase attributable to the Booster Campaign in Nashville is as follows: Damon Lodge has added 90 new members; Stonewall, 105; Friendship, 84; Purity, 66; Ivanhoe, 64; the other lodges, Lightfoot, Tyree, Excelsior, Fidelity, Stringer, Starks, Standard and Harmony have increased in proportion. There have been over 750 new members added to the local lodges since this time a year ago. The initiation team of Nashville is certainly a winner. They perform their work with precision. They are Anthony Porter, J. W. Blaine, R. E. Gee, James Ewing, A. M. Cockrill, Fred Ewing, Ben Kinnard, R. C. Martin, E. W. McGuire, Robt. Summer and R. A. Mayberry. Encouraging letters have been received from Deputies J. W. Hines, Chattanooga: A. S. Pyles, Milan; E. Alston, Covington; A. L. Wittle, Millington; Arthur Hazen, Knoxville; G. W. Williams, Memphis; Luther Cummings, South Pittsburg; W. H. Malone, Jackson; J. R. Smith, Riley; Dr. W. T. Horton, Eades; Dr. C. O. Hunter, Columbia. These reports show that a rapid healthy growth of the order is prevalent everywhere. Deputy A. W. Fite is so encouraged with results so far achieved that he is arranging to get out another booster edition of the Nashville Globe. The parade by the Knights of Pythias for next Monday has been called off on account of a similar event that takes place Sunday, anniversary sermon day. The officials thought that it would be asking too much of the boys to march two successful days. The entertainment at the Majestic Theatre Monday night will be had under the auspices of the Courts of Calanthe a Pythian hall Association. Refreshments will be served by the Calantheans. OPENING OF PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. F. CHURCH. Phillips Chapel C. M. E. Church corner Wharf avenue and Murrell street will be dedicated Sunday. March 30, 1913. Rev. J. D. Bushall will preach at 11 o'clock a. m.: Rev. J. S. French of McKendree Church at 3 o'clock p. m. and Rev. W. S. Ellington at night. There will be special music for the occasion. The doors are open to all. We give you a hearty welcome. NASHVILLE GLOBE. DEMOCRATS START WELL PRESIDENT WILSON WINNING PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE. Recognized as the Man of the Hour—Outlook Bright for Season of Prosperity—Business Methods Are in Vogue—Negroes Receiving Due Consideration—No Fear Entertained as to His Welfare. Washington, D. C., March 26.—The Wilson administration starts out well. The President's utterances bear the hallmarks of high-grade satesmanship. His admirable poise, broad view of his relation to all the people of the country, ready grasp of the great questions of the hour, and complete mystery of the situation, both from a moral and a political standpoint, have won the confidence of the thinking element of the nation. That Woodrow Wilson will be President of the United States and that he will do his level best to redeem the pledges made to the people, are accepted beliefs among the seasoned men of affairs, who have watched the trend of current events from every possible angle. The colored brother is not at all alarmed over the advent of a democratic Chief Executive. He is taking things as a matter of course. There is a general disposition on the part of the colored citizen everywhere to look upon the bright side of things. The hope is freely expressed that the proverbial "Wilson luck" will follow the occupant of the White House and that the next four years will be a period of unexamined prosperity for all the American people. No appreciable fear is felt that a panic is to ensue that will take away the black man's means of earning an honest living, nor is there any deep-seated notion that the welfare of the Negro will be placed in jeopardy by the leaders of the new dispensation. It is a common assertion that the anti-Negro fire-eaters, whose remarks on the race problem required asbestos paper for proper recording, are being forced to the rear, and that an era of business men and business methods is upon us. Negro delegations have called at the White House and have been cordially received by the President and his slds. Many compliments are being paid Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty by colored me not prominence because of the uniform courtesy he has shown in handling the matters brought to the attention of the President. Patronage has been asked for the Negroes who helped to elect the democratic national ticket, and the claims presented by Bishop Alexander Walters in the name of the Negro democratic organization, are being given due consideration. The predictions of the well-informed lean toward the idea that Mr. Wilson intends to proceed slowly and cautiously with the race problem, but that his ultimate policy will square with equity and fair play with reference to office and to legislation affecting the Negro people. The philosophers are saying little, but are keeping both eyes wide open for the things that may happen within the near future Bishop Walters in the Limelight. Bishop Walters is the cynosure of all eyes at this time in this "neck of the woods." He is making Washington his temporary headquarters here, for convenience in looking after affairs in Congress and to keep in touch with the White House during the formative period of the new administration. He is hopeful that the Negro will fare handsomely in the distribution of the "loaves and fishes" and a claim has been put in for all of the important places now held by Negro republicans, or their equivalent in dignity and emoluments. The Bishop, while not undervaluing the necessity of office for the Negro democracy, made it very plain in his "keynote" speech at his banquet, March 4, that he is just now more concerned about the attitude of Congress and the administration on the constitutional rights of the race than over the matter of holding this position or that one. He is for the race, first of all. If the President cannot see his way to name colored democrats for the places now held by colored republicans, it is his wish that the republicans continue to hold them, rather than that they should pass out of the hands of our people. This broad-gauged policy was applauded to the echo by the 200 guests assembled at the festal board in the Y. M. C. A. Bishop Walters is going forward manfully for the rewards he feels are rightfully due the working colored democrats, but is seeing to it that the party makes no "bad breaks" in the matter of legislation adverse to the Negro race. If an objectionable bill is passed by the House, in a moment of passion, following some acrimonious debate on the Negro question, the measure will be fought in the Senate, and should it carry there by hook or crook, the President will then be asked to yeto it. The program is NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY MARCH 28, 1913. D. E. MILLER FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER Mills Is Walking Boss at Railroad Camp—A Network of Evidence Wound Around Him—Man's Own Evidence Condemned Him—Montgomery Shot Monday Night—Drinking With Miller. With a net work of evidence that made escape impossible, a coroner's jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree against E. C. Miller, a walking boss in the railroad camp near Joseph Thompson's place. This cleared up the mystery surrounding the killing of John Montgomery, which occurred Monday evening about 7 o'clock at Lacey's construction camp on the Lewisburg, and Northern Railroad, six miles out on the Franklin Road. He was shot two times, one shot taking effect in the right side and the other in the top of the right shoulder. As soon as the news of the killing reached the authorities, Deputies Frank Turbeville and L. W. Felts were sent to the scene of the tragedy, but not enough evidence could be found to justify any arrests, as quite a number of conflicting stories were told. Evidence was taken by Deputy Coroner B. F. Carter in the undertaking establishment of A. N. Johnson and Company on Cedar street. it was proven that Miller was a reckless man, and was at times very abusive to his men. On the night of the killing he and Montgomery left the camp together with a bottle of whiskey, and Montgomery was not seen alive again. Miller was very restless during he inquest and was anxious to leave the place, but the officers kept vigilant watch on him. When leaving the place he said to one of the men who had come from the camp, "Telephone Mr. Lacey that I am arrested charged with killing a nigger." He plead with the officers but to no avail. Suspicion was first aroused against Miller Monday night when he went to his shack to get his revolver. When he threw out the cylinder it was seen, it is said, that two or three exploded cartridge shells were in chambers, which he then filled with fresh cartridges. There seems to have been some little difficulty between them, but not serious enough in character to result in anything like murder. Lucile Montgomery, wife of the dead man, also stated that she knew Miller to be the slayer of her husband, and that being afraid to stay at the camp longer, she left hurriedly for Nashville, leaving her three months' old baby, and remained here last night. Talks Freely All during the taking of evidence Wednesday, Miller was very much under the influence of liquor, and talked freely. He seemed very nervous. In speaking of the Negro witnesses, he said that no dependence was to be put in anything they would say, and that they would swear any man's life away if they had the least dislike for him. This was more than an hour before the verdict became known. He also stated while in the witness chair that he could not see why so much racket was being raised over the killing of a "gigger" for that was nothing unusual, and that when that happens in a construction camp they generally just bury them in a fill and nothing more is said about Says He's Killed Niggers After his arrest, Miller was taken to the office of Squire Abe Bloomstein, where a warrant was sworn out for his arrest, and from there he was taken to the jail. Here he denied all guilt and said: "Why, sir, my friends will tell you that if I had killed him, I would be a man enough to admit it." Then turning to the sheriff, "Why. Ive killed 'niggers' from New York to San Francisco, and I ain't never denied it yet. Yes, sir, I've killed enough 'niggers' to make a fill." Here he was reminded that everything he said would be used as evidence against him, and replied: "Why, that's so. I guess I'd better keep my d—d mouth closed." He has been an employee of Lacey's construction camp for about seven months. He has a brother who owns a ranch in Wyoming, and he will be notified immediately. John Montgomery was not an employee at the Lacey camp, but was one of the men employed by C. Vest, another constructor. He was given a good name even by Miller, who said he was a good "nigger." MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE PHILISTA WOMACK, THE SLAYER OF MR. J. FRANK BATTLE, INDICTED BY THE GRAND JURY—SAYS SHE SHOT HIM BECAUSE HE MARRIED ANOTHER—CLAIMS HE HAD BEEN INTIMATE WITH HER TWO YEARS—FIRST STATED IT WAS TEN YEARS. Phillista Womack, the woman who entered the shop of Frank Battle, a prominent merchant, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Cedar street, and shot down the proprietor, killing him almost instantly, was indicted by the grand jury for murder in the first degree. The woman gave as her reason for shooting Battle that he had been intimate with her for two years, then married another woman. When the deed was committed the woman said the period of intimacy covered ten years. The bond was set at $20,900, and the murderess unable to make bond, was committed to jail. BIG CROWD WITNESSES SPRING DAY CELEBRATION AT FISK UNIVERSITY. The Spring Day Celebration held on Bennett Field, Fisk University, March 24th was one of the most successful athletic events ever held in Nashville. From early morning until late in the day the field overflowed with a happy good natured crowd bent on enjoying themselves which they succeeded in doing, judging from all appearances. The first event of the morning was the hundred yard dash which had to be run in heats owing to the large number of entries. Wm. H. Perry won the finals by inches; John Cashin second. The 220 yard dash was also appropriated by Perry. The 440 event was won in fine style by Willis Cummings. John Cashin annexing second.

The girl's foot race was won by the academy students. The shows in the Gymnasium were very well received. The ministrel furnishing a most entertaining hour, while the Dulks given by the girls were equally enjoyable. Ferguson in his gymnasium had his audience completely mastered the greater part of the time. W. H. Kindle walking was exceptionally fine. The tumbling and acrobatic feats won their sare of merited applause. Everyone seemed to feel well repaid and the consensus opinion was that Spring Day at Fisk is well attending. SCOVEL STREET CHURCH The Sunday-school of Sevoul Street A. M. E. Church observed Easter in the most elaborate style. The exercises were held at 7:30 Sunday evening, and with the consent of the pastor the usual church services gave way to the Easter celebrations. The little folks had been thoroughly drilled in their different parts and rendered them to the delight and adoration of all the house. The house was packed, every seat being taken with many standing in the aisles. The recitations of the little folks were highly enjoyed by the audience, who assembled to witness the occasion. L O L SERMON The Immaculate Order observed Easter with their annual sermon. The exercises were held at the old Spruce Street Baptist Church. Dr. T. W. Stephens, pastor of Scovel Street A. M. E. Church, preached the permon. A large crowd filled the house and many were unable to be admitted. It made old members of the order recall other days of the grand old organization, and to take on new courage for the rejuvenation of the Independent Order of Immaculates. They remembered that Nashville was the birth place of the order, and was the product of one of her sons, the late Dr. C. O. Hadley. A review of the work done from the organization down to the present was read and received the plaudits of the vast assemblage. TEACHERS HOLD GOOD MEETING Section Held in Pearl High School, Risk and St. John A. M. E. Church—Many Helpful Papers Read by Members of the Association—Deep Interest in the Work Manifested Able Addresses The second annual session of Middle Tennessee Teachers Association met at Pearl High School building Monday morning, March 20, at 11 o'clock. Over two hundred teachers were present. The meeting was called to order by President Batte. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Sexton, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Music by the High-School Glee Clug. President Batte made remarks, stating that much was hoped to be accomplished during the session. He stated that Governor Hooper and Mayor Howse could not be present. Dr. C. V. Roman made an address of welcome on behalf of the citizens of Nashville. He gave the members something to think about as he always does. Rev N. D. Shamberger, pastor of Clark Memorial Church, made an address on behalf of the ministers and was well received. Miss E. J. Terry made an address on behalf of the teachers of the city. Responses were made by Prof. A. M. Lyle, of Clarksville, and Prof. Kelly, of Columbia. Prof. W. T. B. Williams, of Hampton, Va., representing the Jeannes Fund, came to the meeting to talk to the teachers on "Tendency of Modern Education." His remarks were well received and will be productive with much good. Prof. W. J. Hale, President of State Normal, was the next speaker; he made some timely remarks which were highly appreciated by the members of the association. After announcements by the President, recess was taken until afternoon. The afternoon session was taken up in departments. The Department of Supervision being under Prof. Randles, of Nashville. The Needs of the Public Schools was led by the Supervisor of Public Schools, Dr. J. P. Crawford. Discussion was led by Prof. J. S. Beasley, of Fayetteville. At 7:30 Thursday night the meeting shifted to Fisk Memorial Chapel, where the program was carried out. The meeting was called to order by Vice President J. D. Steel. After listening to an instrumental solo prayer was offered by Dr. Crostwalt. Fisk Girls' Glee Club then rendered an entertaining selection. President Batte then delivered his annual address. Prof. Williams made a very instructive address on the Tendency of Modern Education. Mr. I. B. Scott rendered a violin solo which was much enjoyed. After the program had been rendered the teachers and guests repaired to the large dining-hall, where a reception was tendered the visiting teachers. Prof. Batte's address was full of helpful information. He said in part: The amount that a state has invested in school buildings is an index of its past interest in education. In Tennessee, the average investment per child in school buildings and property is fourteen dollars. While in Massachusetts it is one hundred fifteen. In current expenditures per child of school age, Tennessee with six dollars a year takes forty-third place among the forty-eight states, while in the average value of school property the standing is forty-one. In Tennessee the average per cent of attendance is sixty-nine and eight-tenths, which gives us a rank of twenty-four among the forty-eight commonwealths. The highest average salary paid in the United States is $918 in California, the lowest is $200 in North Carolina. Tennessee is thirty nine among the forty-eight, with an average annual salary of $293 per teacher. The average annual wage of carpenters in the United States is about $802; of coal miners, $600; of factory workers, $550; of common laborers, $513; and of teachers, $485. Throughout the Southern States, thousands of rural teachers earn less than $150 a year. One Southern state rents its convicts to contractors at a little more than $400 per year, while that same state pays its public school teachers slightly over $300. It is hoped that at this meeting we will do something more than read and discuss papers. In our last meeting there were some timely suggestions given and committees appointed. We are expecting these committees to bring some plans to us, the completion of which will put the educational conditions of the Negro in this State on high ground. This Association, if no other way than by a strong set of resolutions, should give the public the condition of Negro rural schools; the poor salary paid, how a better salary would bring to sald a school a better grade of teacher and cause those there to prepare to do better work. Much is being said about Domestic (Continued on Page 8.) TENNESSEE'S LEA ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.13. MEHARRY SENIOR CLASSES CELEBRATE ANNUAL EVENT LAVISH- LY OBSERVED Music and Mirth, Coupled With Excellent Speeches, Make the Occasion Notable One—Every Par- ticipant Shows to Good Advantage — Each Depart ment Represented on the Program. The annual "senior class exercises" of Meharry medical, dental, pharma- ceutical and nurse-training schools were held at Meharry auditorium on Friday evening, the 21st, when the spacious building was taxed to its ut- most capacity, so that it became neces- tary to place chairs along the aisles to give accommodation to the interested throng. The exercises were begun at 8:15, when a processional march pealed forth from the Walden University orchestra, under the direction of Miss M. E. Braden, dean of the music1 department of the institution, while Prof. I. Berry presided at the plano. This was the signal for the entry of the class representatives, and they were now seen to march in single file along the south aisle, to take their places on the platform. After this there followed the invocation by Mr. E. L. Grant, of the senior dental class, and then the master of ceremonies, Mr. R. E. Smith, who is president of the senior medical class, addressed the audience in a most brilliant and lucid style. In very appropriate language he sketched the student life of his class from its incipiency in medical studies, to the present time, noted its distinctive characteristics, and took occasion to thank the people of Nashville for the unbounded hospitality extended them during their stay in the city. Miss Hilda Lyttle, of the nursemtraining school, read a paper on "The Mission of a District Nurse." It excited a deal of interest, so very profound were the thoughts embodied, and so clear and distinct was her enunciation, and reflected much credit on the young woman. Mr. A. Lee, of the pharmaceutical department, made a speech full of thought and one that impressed all who heard him. Mr. W. S. Hardy, of the medical class, was heard to advantage on "The Call of To-day." He captivated his audience and kept them enraptured. Mr. S. A. Thomas, of the dental class, was the last snaker. He made an excellent address which charmed the audience in an intense degree. It devolved on Mr. E. R. Mattison, of the medical class, to present the history of the individual members of the graduating classes. This was a time of great mirth, for Mr. Mattison, or "Pat," as he is known in the college circle, is naturally full of humor, and when it is told that he threw the whole of his spirit into his even task, it can be better imagined than described what was the degree of delight which he measured to the crowd. The musical contributions to the program were of a classic nature, and consisted of selections by the dental glee club, a vocal solo by Mrs. W. E. A. Torde, of the school of pharmacy, and an instrumental solo by Mr. W. P. Saunders, of the medical department. Mr. L. N. Bass, the well-known bass singer, also favored the audience with one of his beautiful specialties. At the conclusion the master of ceremonies thanked the audience for their attendance, and thus there was ended one of the most successful events in the history of the school. STANDARD LIFE BEGINS BUSINESS Atlanta, Ga., March 25, 1913.—Having successfully met every condition and provision laid down by the Insurance laws of the State of Georgia, the Standard Life Insurance Company of this city began business this week.

E., of the Dickson District was present and made some very touching remarks, showing the progress of the Dickson District and his great love for the work, and his deep interest in our welfare, here, where he used to live and pastor. At the schoolhouse last Sunday afternoon most appropriate and beautiful Easter exercises were held by the congregation of Edmond's Chapel A. M. E. Church. The beautiful solos, the recitations, the papers and addresses were very commendable. The people from the schoolhouse went down to the A. M. E. Church, where they and the Baptists' held Union exercises owing to the fact, that Baptist Church was much damaged by the storm. These exercises lasted about three hours and was a grand affair. The solos, duets, choruses, recitations, papers and addresses were very much enjoyed and creditably rendered. Rev. Vann took an active part in the singing and addresses. Space will not allow us to specify some of the special pieces, but to say that all the exercises were fine is "Nough Said." FRANKLIN NOTES.

Special to the Globe. Conasanga, Tenn., March 19—Mrs Pearl Robinson was called to Nashville recently on account of the illness of her friend, Mrs. Betty Richmond, who died a few days ago. Mrs Richmond was taken sick on February 4th while visiting her brother, Mr. Jeff Johns, at her old home, Walter Hill, Tenn., where she died. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in West Nashville. She belonged to the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. She was devoted to both her church and lodge. Mrs. Richmond has many friends in Nashville and was loved by every one who knew her. CITY ITEMS Mrs. L. E. Porter, of Memphis, the wife of Dr. G. W. Porter, is visiting TWO PIONEERS PASS TO THE 30 GREAT BEYOND. MRS. CHARLOTTE BENTON The death of Mrs. Charlotte Benton who died a days ago removed from the stage of the house the pioneers of this city, and calls to mind that the ranks of the old guard are thinning out. Mrs Charlotte Benton was born in Virginia 1804. She left there at the age of thirteen and came to Nashville, Tennessee. At the age of twenty she married Silas Benton from their union there were three children, MaIndy, Louise and Ellen. After fifteen years, her first husband died. She remained a widow several years. She married Horatio Benton. There were three daughters and one son as a result of this union. Horatio Benton and Charlotte Benton lived together for twenty-five years and the husband died after helping to complete Ft. Negley. After the war, the widow, Charlotte Benton took up residence in Evansville, Indiana, where she remained upwards of ten years. She then removed to Louisville where she lived for thirty years and was living at the time of her death, March 4, 1913. She died in the Lord, having professed when she was about 30 years old. She was a faithful Christian and true to the Methodist faith for more than seventy years and until her death. He life was full of good works and she left behind her a goon name and record of kind and unselfish deeds. Her life was a rare example of Christian love and human bravery. Mrs. Benton was a member of Clark Memorial M. E. Church when it was called the Andrews Charge and when the colored people had to go in the basement to services. Her first husband, Mr. Silas Benton worked on the foundation of the Andrews Charge, now Clark Memorial Church. A striking incident in the last days of Mrs. Benton was that in her last days, she lived in Louisville, Ky, with her oldest and only child, Mrs. Malina Jackson. Mrs. Jackson was the mother of Mrs. Alice J. Frazier of 16 Cannon avenue, this city, Just before the death of Mrs. Benton her daughter was called to the sick bedside of Mrs. Frazier. She was not gone long before she took sick and her husband this week, and will remain in the city until after the great rally, April 27th. Miss Coffe Clark, of 714 Winter street, is able to be out again. FAYETTEVILLE NOTES. A party of five went through our town in an automobile to Huntsville, Bonner, Messrs. M.

Frazier, and two great grand-daughters, Mrs. Alice Frazier Nelson and Miss Elizabeth Menton Moore. MRS. MARY WEBB Mrs. Mary Webb, who died March 14th, was one of the pioneers of this city. She was sold a slave when thirteen years old at Richmond, Virginia and brought to the city of Nashville the year James K. Polk took his seat. She united with the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, under Rev. Vandervall in 1882. Mrs Webb was an interesting character from many points of view. She had a wonderful constitution and never tired in her devotion to her children and grand children. She was for many years a nurse, and while engaged in that occupation, she served some of the leading families in this city. Among them were the Zollocoffer's, the Overton's, the Whites, the McGannons and many other. She kept in touch with the social life of her grandchildren and other young friends. They felt free to discuss with her their social affairs in every detail and she could always add a little word here and there; a little connecting line; a bit of experience or humor that would so fill the heart with joy and sunshine. Her memory was unexcelled. She could discuss noted characters of history dating long before the war, and kept apace with current events in the political as well as the religious world. She loved to comfort the sick and her wonderful strength and perseverance, her patience and wholesome sacrifice are traits worthy of commendation. She loved her church and when her health permitted was a constant worker and donater. Two daughters, twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren survive her.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1913. School Teachers. Last week we had with us the second annual session of the Middle Tennessee Teachers' Association. Out of probably five hundred teachers about two hundred attended this meeting. It is to be regretted that more were not present, since the state pays full time for the days put in at the association. However, those who were present proved that they were interested in the work they are attempting to do. Every paper read and every expression made centered around the truth that the school teachers in this association realize that the destiny of the race lies largely in their hands, and they exhibited a desire for knowledge to help them in framing the minds of the youth who shall be under their tute lage. The resolutions presented by a special committee on the efficiency of teachers caused some little commotion that brought out a statement by the chairman of that committee, that it was not the aim of the framers of the resolutions that any of the present teachers be disturbed, but that those who desired to enter the profession should be required to come up to the standard. We do not believe the chairman of that committee meant what he said, for any one who is a competent judge realizes the detriment the professions sustain through incompetent teachers. Anyone who is not competent to teach will be convinced of the fact if they will only attend these association meetings; and when they are convinced that they are not incompetent they should have the courage to walk up to the school authorities and say, "Here is my commission; turn it over to some one who is on to the job." We really think that the chairman of the committee in defending his resolutions made the assertion referred to above merely to forestall all opposition. That much good resulted from this meeting was evidenced by the spirit of good-will exhibited. It was clear beyond a reasonable doubt that it is impossible for any body of intelligent men and women to assemble and discuss topics in an orderly way without being benefited; and at must be said to the credit of President Batte that he conducted the Association in such a way that no time was wasted in idle gossip. Every minute was made to count. The Association should enjoy the co-operation of every teacher in Middle Tennessee to the end that the work may be more effectual. President Bandy of the Board of Trade attempted to explain in last week's issue the attitude of the Board towards women auxiliaries. He said in his statement that the women are not barred from membership in the Board of Trade, but the president dodged the issue. He knew full well that the Board of Trade sat down hard on that auxiliary proposition; and so it will not amount too much to tell the women they are not barred and keep the door shut. The debate rendered on "Woman Suffrage" recently in which the women won out has given new impetus to the suffrage cause in this community. Well, the time has arrived, it seems, when the men will be forced to adopt the policy of letting the "women do the work and the men sit down and have an easy time." Tennessee politics is of that brand that attracts the attention of the nation, and we might say, speaking from a military point of view, we are right in the fore ranks of strenuous activity. Negro Democrats who want to cluster around the "Pie Counter" find it difficult to elbow through the crowd, so numerous are the ex-politicians when the man will be forced to adopt Negro politicians should realize that time about is fair play. CLIFTON NOTES The B. O. No. 90 held its annual election last Thursday night. Mr. N. C. Jackson, who has been the president for a number of years, was nominated again, but declined. The concert given by Mrs. Mary Grimes recently was quite a success. Mrs Catherine Grimes entertained at dinner recently Rev. and Mrs. R. A. Dowell and Mrs. G. C. Churchwell. After dinner the evening was very pleasantly spent. Easter was observed in Clifton. At St. James M. E. Church preaching at 11 a. m. by Rev. R. A. Dowell, and at 2:30 p. m. the easter program was rendered, and a large crowd was present. The program was under the direction of Miss M. B. M. Mayberry and Mrs. C. C. Biffle. The rendition of the program showed that the managers had spared no pains in making it a success. The total collection was $7.50. Mrs. R. A. Dowell presided at the organ. The choir rendered excellent music for the occasion. Fire destroyed the home of Mr. Odus Grimes Sunday and all the contents; nothing was saved. Mr. and Mrs. Grimes were absent at the time. After the exercises were over Suhday afternoon an after collection was taken for Mr. and Mrs. Grimes, who had just lost their home a few hours before. The people donated liberally. Mrs. Cella Fleming went to Big Creek Sunday to see Mrs. Adelaide Lloyd. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY. After the young ladies had made their plans to further clean and beautify the campus, it was found that the young men had made similar plans. Committees were appointed to care for different sections. So the young ladies will turn their attention to something else. Every student in the boarding department is now a professed Christian. There are articles on display in the millinery, art and sewing departments. The orations by the young men and the young ladies in the recent public rhetoricals were highly satisfactory. The music and other departments are crowded to overflowing. Saturday morning the young ladies gave an improptu social in honor of the Misses Johnson, of Columbia alumni of the university. During the week there were many visitors. MARTIN NOTES. Sunday, March 23rd was interesting as well as a beautiful day in Martin, as it was Easter and the sun was sending its beautiful rays upon the earth which was a treat to us all. The following churches observed the day of Resurrection: A. M. E., C. M. E. and M. E. The exercise in the afternoon held at the A. M. E. Church of which Rev. Valentine is pastor, was excellently rendered under the management of Miss Carrie B. Bugg, Mrs. Langsford and Miss England, who furnished music for the occasion. They were enjoyed by all present. Raised for missions $5.00. At the C. M. E. Church the pastor, Rev. J. D. Williams preached at 11 o'clock a.m., on the Resurrection. At 7:30 the Easter program was carried out under the management of Mrs. J. D. Williams, Mrs. Willie Bondurant and Miss Phelp, who furnished excellent music for the occasion. Papers were read as follows: Mrs. Bondurant, Master Collins Graves and Miss Edmona Haynes. A prize was given to the one who read most distinctly of which Master Collins Grave was the successful winner. The exercise was grand; raised in the Easter collection $7.01. Rev. S. M. Strayhorn, pastor of McCearn Temple of this sermon at the C. M. E. Church on a crowded house, which was enjoyed by all. At 11 a. m., Rev. S. M.

The exercise at 7:30 p. m. was carried out with very good success under the leadership of the Sunday-school Superintendent, Mr. C. L. Williams, Mrs. Birdie Simmons and Miss England helped furnish music for the exercise. Papers were read by the following: Misses Mellard Waggoner and Gabriella Byas. A book was awarded to the one who raised the most for Foreign Missions, little Miss Udea alcooper being successful in raising 70 cents in her envelope was the winner. The president of the Missionary Society, Mr. D. C. Martin waited on the congregation and raised $10.00. The storm on last Thursday night blew the resident of Mrs. Bird Simmons off its pillars. The resident of Mrs. Bettle Long caught fire one day last week, but was succussly put out with very little damage done. Dr. Brown is doing some commendable work in our city. Mr. P. H. Richardson of Terrell, Tenn. who has been in our city for several months has returned to his home. COLUMBIA NOTES Miss Hattie Harris entertained the W. H. & F. M. Society Saturday evening, March 22nd, at the home of Mrs. Alice Fleming, on Glade街. Needle-work was the main feature of the evening.

Jack Buchanan and also the pastor, Rev. A. J. James, Superintendent and others. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1913. SOME LIGHT ON THE BATTLE CASE A Card of Thanks from Mrs. Emma Battle, the Mother of J. Frank Battle, and Her Four Children Who Have Come to Console Her in This Hour of Bereavement. We want to sincerely thank the many kind friends of Nashville in general for their sympathy and kindness during our many bereavements since we have made Nashville our home. It seems to us that the more often these bereavements occur, the kinder and more sympathetic have appeared the friends. We know our friends must be shocked at so early rumors and publications of lawsuits among the surviving members of the family, and we feel that a card of explanation would not be out of place. It is possibly well known to the majority of the citizens of Nashville that our son and brother, J. Frank Battle, was married to Miss Myrtle Shook, of this city five days prior to his sudden death, all of which the entire family accepted. It is also well known that he had been for a number of years the agent for our mother and administrator of her son and our brother, J. O. Battle, who left provision for her future welfare. It is also known by a number of citizens, our near neighbors, that he had lately contracted for and begun remodeling the home residence, expecting to prepare the home for his bride, his mother and his baby sister. After this sudden death and during the days that his remains lay in state at our home, we most earnestly solicited this our daughter and sister-in-law to strengthen the family ties by uniting with us and living in the home. Knowing that she would naturally become the administrix of her deceased husband in all of his personal effects, we desired that she should have the full benefits to the extent of sharing his interest in the home, all of which we supposed that she accepted in good faith. We were shocked, however, the next day after the funeral, when she presented her letter as administrix, demanding all of the papers, valuables, etc., in his possession at the time of his death. As he was our administrator and agent, we could not turn into the hands of an inexperienced child everything, especially such papers as interested the entire family. We therefore advised our daughter and sister that we were ready to confer with her advisors and make suitable adjustments that business might go on undisturbed. We supposed this was satisfactory, and were greatly shocked and severely pained to know that the matter had been rushed into the courts without our knowledge or consent. We were enjoined and attachments were run on us by the officers, taking everything in possession, refusing to allow us to even enter our own premises or open the safe, or personally examine any of the papers. We are, therefore, yet unable and deem it unwise to attempt to state the exact status of the business, feeling that all friends and acquaintances know that our son and brother, J. O. Battle, left to his mother all of his real and personal property, together with several insurance policies, and it is also known that J. Frank Battle, the youngest of the four brothers, had been appointed by the entire family to act as agent and administrator of this estate, all of which will be shown at the proper time from the records of the County Court. We ask our friends to with hold indictment or criticisms pro or con in this case, believing that when our daughter and sister has known the facts in the case as she could not have known them in five short, happy days of marriage, that she will turn away from the ill advice now being given, and will see that for the love of our son and brother, there still remains in our hearts that warm, sympathetic, parental affection that should follow the love of a faithful devoted son and brother. (Signed). MRS. EMMA BATTLE. BEAUTIFUL CANTATA AT ROCK CITY, PARK, CHURCH CITY BAPTIST CHURCH. On last Sunday evening at Rock City Missionary Baptist Church the Cantata, "Rock of Ages," was successfully rendered by the Sunday-school under the direction of Mrs. Rosie Wilson Jennings, organist.

Butler, of Murfreesboro, visited our Sunday-school on Easter morning, finding superintendent, teachers and scholars all earnestly at work. On Tuesday night, when all were about to be slumbering, the handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Thomas, on Herman street, was totally destroyed by fire. Had it not been for our merchant, Mr. Jn. Childress, who is usually up at a late hour in his work, the family might have perished in the flames. Some of the furniture was saved by quick work of the neighbors who went to their assistance. The Mt. Nebo Church and friends donated to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas a liberal collection. We are all in sympathy with them. Mrs. Laura McDowell, of Vincent street, prepared an Easter dinner Sunday in honor of her son, Mr. Allen McDowell. Master L. M. Thompson served dinner, which was enjoyed by all.

Tate, of South Sixteenth avenue, visited Rev. Geo. W. Dickerson son Tuesday afternoon. A sad messa sauce was delivered Mrs. Geo. W.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF NEGRO'S LIFE SHOWN BY THE NAPIERS Washington, D. C., March 25—Register of the Treasury and Mrs. J. C. Napier were attractive figures at the magnificent reception condered a few days ago by the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Franklin McVeagh at their stately mansion on the Avenue of the Presidents in honor of the bureau chieftains of the department. Mr. Napier was the only colored of ficial who accepted the cordial invitation of the Secretary. That the courtly Register and his queenly wife fully sustained the dignity and social gra think of the G and you help him to get a start. It will mean more to the boy than you can imagine. No better way to get your boy accustomed to making a few dimes for himself than selling Newspapers. cluseness at this notable function goes without the saying. Mrs. Napier was beautifully gowned and her charming personality unquestionably added radiance to the brilliant assemblage, which embraced the foremost social and official factors of the American Republic. The thoughtful element of our citizenry is grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Napier for their attendance at the McVeagh reception—not because of any prestige the Napiers might gain through the quasi-social recognition thus extended, but because of the opportunity thus given well-disposed members of the other race to see the Negro at his best—to make a concrete observation of the the possibilities of a people whose bright side is too seldom brought into evidence in such exalted circles. In accepting the invitation of Secretary and Mrs. McVeagh, Mr. Napier has set an example, which under similar circumstances, other colored burean officials would do well to follow. Before leaving the office of Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. MacVeagh indicted a letter to each of his bureau heads, expressing his hearty appreciation of their faithful, loyal and efficient services and voicing his confidence and esteem. He extended to Register Napier the warmest assurances of his high personal regard. DEMOGRATS STARTS WELL a big one, but the Bishop is determined to be equal to to every emergency that is likely to confront him. The friends of Bishop Walters denounce a falsehood of the deepest dye the report sent out from Washington to a New York newspaper, intimating that the Bishop is a receptive candidate for the Haytian mission. "The statement is absolutely without foundation," declares a man very close to the Bishop. "The writer of the screed is well known and his motive for circulating such a report is clearly malicious. The intent is to shake the confidence of Bishop Walters' followers by arousing a suspicion as to his sincerity. The scheme is too thin to hold water, and will fool no one who has a thimbleful of common sense in his cranium." It is given out with authority that Bishop Walters is not a candidate for the Haytian mission nor for any other position within the gift of the government.

Miss Mamie Demos, who was passing The Palms on the night Phillista Womack shot Mr. Frank Battle wishes to announce that the statement that she held a conversation with the woman just a few minutes before the shooting took place is an error. Miss Demos and Mr. Caruthers were passing The Palms at the time on their way to Odd Fellows Hall, when they saw the crowd, they stopped and inquired what it was all about. They were told that Mr. Battle had been shot. Miss Demos said. "I do not know the woman and have not known her since we were little children. It was with difficulty that my mother made me remember her as a child." Miss Demoss is the daughter of one of the oldest and most highly respected families of this city and was shocked when she saw her name connected with the affair in anyway. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1913. AT STATE NORMAL. On last Saturday at 7:00 p. m. in the Trade Building was held the formal opening of that building, the machinery having been previously installed by students. The most interesting feature of the occasion was a demonstration by students of the work done by each machine. Two motors of five and ten horse power respectively control these machines. The regular monthly sermon was delivered last Sunday in the main auditorium by Dr. W. W. Lucas, the educational secretary of the M. E. Church. He discussed very aly and most eloquently from the subject, "The Reality of Truth." EASTER AT HOLY TRINITY. Amid a wealth and beauty of palms, roses and lilies and the ablaze with lighted candles a crowded congregation.

The children's service. At the regular chapel hour on Thurs day the student body was especially favored with an address by Mrs. Kenney, the Preceptress of Roger Williams 'University, whose great personality was forcibly impressed upon the hearts and minds of the students. Later in the afternoon she addressed the young women. Mrs. Kenney expressed her great surprise at and appreciation of the wonderful progress that the State Normal is making and bade it "God Speed." On Thursday the Middle Tennessee Teachers' Association convened in this city at the Pearl High School. The teachers of the State Normal took advantage of the opportunity to attend the very interesting session held that afternoon. Then on Friday, the teachers and students of the Normal department attended all sessions in a body. The music in the afternoon was furnished by the Young Women's Glee Club of this school. The papers delivered by the members of the association and the exhibition work were very instructive. At least one of the sessions of the association would have been held at the State Normal had it not been for a lack of street care service. However at the close of the meeting the members of the association visited the school in a body, inspecting the buildings and grounds. PYTHIANS OF LOUISIANA WILL MEET IN SHREVEPORT. Special to Globe. Special to Globe. New Orleans, La., Mar. 22.-Hon. S. W. Green, Grand Chancellor of the State of Louisiana and Supreme Grand Chancellor of the Order, has just issued his Proclamation number 6, calling the Grand Lodge to meet in Shreveport, April 23. At this session the delegates will be allowed to depart from the regular custom which required that they all wear black. This change was brought about by a resolution passed at the last session. According to the Grand Chancellor's Proclamation, a great deal of business will be conducted at this session. GREAT REVIVAL AT LEBANON Special to the Globe. Lebanon, Tenn., March 23.—Rev. W H. Adams, pastor of Winters Chapel A. M. E. Church has just closed a most successful revival with twenty-eight conversions. A splendid program was carried out. Mr. W. W Williams from Nashville delivered a most inspiring address on Easter. He also addressed the Immaculate Order in the afternoon, which turned out in full force with a brass band. The pastor of the M. E. Church preached the sermon. A splendid program was rendered with due credit to the order and in the presence of a large crowd. HADLEY NIGHT SCHOOL CLOSES YEAR'S WORK. The Hadley free public night school closed Wednesday night, March 19, with appropriate exercises. A steri- opticon exhibition of historical, biographical, Biblical and moving pictures was given by Prof. and Mrs. W. G. Hynes, whose accompanying lectures were instructive and intertaining. This has been the best session in the history of the school and the pupils were sorry to see the close. Prizes for perfect attendance offered by Dr. R. H. Boyd were awarded to the following: Mrs. Millie Barton, Miss Joanna Ellis, James Stratton, Robert Hammond, James Esmon, Inman Harris and George H. Cage. MUSICAL FESTIVAL AND DEMON STRATION IN VOICE CULTURE, GIVEN BY THE ATLANTA BAPTIST COLLEGE. Special to the Globe. Special to the globe. Atlanta, Ga., March 22.—Nearly four thousand people were present at the Auditorium Armory last night to witness the Musical Festival given by the students of Atlanta Baptist College. Special features were the Male chorus of two hundred and fifty voices, the College Orchestra; the Glee Club; the Quartette, and Piano, Vocal and Trombone Solos and the Demonstration in Voice Culture. The program consisted of new selections excepting the melodies and the Suwanee River. All were committed in two weeks time. The colored composers represented were: R. Nathalan Dett, (Magnolia Suite for Plano); Will Marion Rosamond Johnson, Harry Burjeigh, and Clarence Cameron White in vocal compositions. The whole program aimed to show what colored youth could do in even a short time of preparation. The festival was a result of the enterprising spirit of President John Hope. His faith in the citizens of Atlanta is well placed, as the immense audience attested. It was a most remarkable audience in several ways. Although nearly one thousand public school children and orphans were the guests of the College, one could have heard a pin drop not only during the rendition of the numbers but while Madame Hackley gave the demonstration and put the chorus through the vocal exercise. Madame Hackley was ably assisted by K. Kemper Harreid, the director of music of the Atlantic Baptist College. The boys presented the Madame with a beautiful sterling silver chain and engraved coin purse and a large bouquet of pink carvings, and gave her a "college yell." EASTER AT HOLY TRINITY. Amid a wealth and beauty of vines, palms, roses and lilies and the altar ablaze with lighted candles and a crowded congregation, Holy Communion was celebrated last Easter morning at Holy Trinity Church. A Memorial Processional Cross, price $40, was used for the first time. The church floor was also covered with a new carpet, price $80. Much credit is due the members for their response to the Priest's request for a large offering. The choir was at their best, and a request has been made by several for a repetition of the same music the first Sunday in April. The children's service at 5 o'clock in the afternoon was also beautiful and instructive. After Vesper prayers and chants and the explanation of Easter by the Priest, several classes of the school were catechised. Eggs, cards and prizes were distributed for general attendance. Service at the Altar, punctuality and for knowledge of the catechism. The prizes were silver and one gold pin, which latter was given Mildred Smith for knowledge of the catechism. The offerings of the Sunday-school, about $10, will be given to Foreign Missions. Mrs. Lena Hughes gave cuite an interesting concert at St. John Monday night. THE HOME MAKERS OF TEN- NESSEE. By ada Cooke Settle. It has not been so many years ago that such organizations as the Home-Maker's Section of the Middle Tennessee Farmers' Institute were entirely unknown. The farm woman as an individual and as a factor in organized effort was given very little thought indeed until a comparatively recent time. The public at large knew she existed; it knew that on nearly every farm a farm woman was helping the farmer make a farm home; the publishing world recognized her existence in a few second rate columns of household matter printed on the back pages of the agricultural papers and magazines, but the importance of her work to the whole country was hardly recognized. Uncle Sam, always at heart a staunch supporter of women's rights, was among the first to realize the potentiality of the farm woman's living. There were bulletins for farmers; why not bulletins for farmers' wives and daughters—in fact, for all sorts of women, both city and country bred? So the expert writers on bread-making, poultry-raising, dairy-ing, canning, preserving and kindred subjects were put to work, and now women can obtain from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, printed matter of the utmost accuracy on nearly any subject pertaining to household economics. While the United States government has been printing and distributing this propaganda of the home, spreading out over the country like live wires of help and inspiration has run the chain work of the Farmers' Institutes, conducted by the Departments of Agriculture in the different States. At first these were men alone, but it soon became evident that the farmer as a traveler is a binomial quantity; he likes to have the woman go when he goes. So gradually the woman interest crept into the men's meetings. But it remained for Tennessee to originate such fully organized and conducted separate bodies for women as the Home-Makers Sections of the Tennessee Farmers' Institutes. There are granges and institutes for women in other States, but nothing like the Home Makers Sections of Tennessee. Realizing the value of co-operation, the Department of Agriculture's reasoning was not for a woman's institute apart from the men, but a section composed of women, working in harmony with the men of the Farmers' Institutes; being a part of the whole, and at the same time a whole to themselves. To this end, co-operation has become the watchword of the Farmers' Institutes of Tennessee and every farmer who attends the meetings held in the three divisions of the State takes to the sessions a livelier interest, a keener anticipation because the programs presented are open to his women folks as well as himself, with separate programs given by the women assisted by men, and open to men. Such wise and generous conduct of official bodies has far-reaching effect. The farmer who attends a meeting accompanied by his wife, daughter, or sister, naturally broadens in view when he find the Institute serving him trefully through himself, his woman companion, and through both as one; three channels through which his home is benefited. For, while he is making careful notes from the splendid addresses on soil, drainage, crop, rotation, etc, this wife is doing likewise with subjects ever dear to a woman's heart; home in general, home dress-making, home cooking, babies, and at the same time the farmer and his wife are enjoying discussions of equal interest to both. The gentler sex is naturally fond of debate, and one could go a long way before finding such congenial discussions as take place in the Woman's Sections of the Tennessee Farmers' Institutes. Everybody is expected to tell what they know and every woman can imagine what a lively affair a discussion on "How to Feed Babies" might prove. No woman could resist that subject. At the last session of the Home-Makers of Middle Tennessee this topic brought out every means known from bleisure tea to boiled buttermilk straight. The splendid feature about this home making work though after all, lies no more in the helpfulness of the subjects touched than in the thorough co-operation it is bringing about among all women of both town and country. Women are learning more and more each day that in union lies strength. They are finding that the secret of man's success in business, organization of labor, and direct methods of application, are equally applicable to the home, and the true The Perfect Flour LEONTE For Biscuit, Cakes, Wafers, etc. The best on the market.

Through the exercise of kindness and intelligence women bring to the detailed routine of household labor the magic aid of home-love, and it is the knowledge of how to apply love and method for which the Home-Makers Sections of Tennessee stand. GREENWOOD GIANTS READY FOR THE FRAY. Mr. C. R. Hutchinson was recently elected manager of the Greenwood Glants, a well-known aggregation of colored baseball players in the city. Mr. Hutchinson is well posted in the various branches of baseball, having played for a number of years with some of the best teams in the South and West, viz. Nashville Blues, Fayetteville Black Stockings, Illinois Red Caps and many other teams of more or less importance and always showing up well with all teams. Mr. Hutchinson plays with a veracity and vim that would shook such players as Johnny Evers, John McGraw and all such other baseball artists. Mr. Hutchinson plays either behind the willow or shortstop. He is a nice fielder and has a quick snapping throw to first, which is his mainstay in cutting players off at first. Behind the bat he shows up exceedingly well, both in his good judgment of the batters and tossing the old pill down to the keystone sack. He is a heavy hitter, being one of the Birdie Cree type. Mr. Hutchinson is well acquainted with the best amateur teams around Nashville and will arrange an interesting schedule for the colored baseball fans of this city. So here's to our new manager. May he have one of the most successful seasons of any colored team in Nashville. SECRETARY OF THE CONGRESS ON A WESTERN TOUR.

Jones is a great financier and his members follow him with much pride. Cash finance reported Monday night, MRS. SMITH OF TENNESSEE IN LITTLE ROCK, ARK. Little, Ark.—Mrs. H. E.

A committee of ladies of Bul-Chapel were at the parsonage to receive Mrs. Smith p THE “DEAD HAND” IN EDUCATION. @ ‘Mr. Chairman, Members of th eMid- dle ‘Tennessee Teachers’ - Asscoia. tion, Ladies and Gentlemen: I count it a privilege to greet you ‘upon this occasion, because there ts no other body of men and women ‘anywhere to whom it is greater pleas- ure to speak than to a body of teachers, I regard the teacher's pro- fession as the great profession, for it is the largest factor in giving to the people the great boon of educa- tion, Again, it is a pleasure to be ‘with you tonight because of the per- sonnel of this Association, I congrat- ulate Middle ‘Tennessee upon its teachers. And these words come from years of personal contact with many of your number, for T take pride in the fact that my first experience in a Summer Normal and my first ex- perience in a State examination were had here in Nashville some thirteen years ago. Although opportunities for training and work elsewhere have filled most of the intervening years, T was glad when the call came to return to “Sunny Tennessee.” T come to you tonight to discuss the “Dead-Hand” in Edueatfon, but the expression, “Dead-hand,” has as much reference’ to the “Dead-head” and “Dead-heert.” ‘The words “dead hand” have been applied to legacies and bequests, usually of money, which dying donors have left to benefac: tors, Over and over again in the development of educational and phil anthropie Institutions, it has happen. ed that some will of a donor long since dead has so limited the use of the money that the gift begins to serve ag a hindrance rather than a help to the cause for which it was originally given, : ‘There is a college up in Pennsyl vania for orphan boys. The value oi original gifts for it has increased with the years, but instead of an in- creased usefulness the cause of the boys is being injured by the condi. tions imposed in the will of the founder upon the trustees in expend: ing the wealth. ‘This condition of property in trust 1s known as the “dead-hand,” be- cause future generations are ' ham pered in their use of funds by_ the ‘will and {dea of some donor long since dead who could not foresee the changed conditions which have arisen, Now, in the transmission of intel lectual’ and spiritual property from generation to generation, worn-out or antiquated ideas are often adhered to, long after their originators, are dead and their usefullness has di minished. ‘Thus progress_Is_ham. pered and the people harmed. In the field of education, we may often figuratively speak of the ‘“dead-hand” from the past. In this case it is not 8 legacy of money that often binds us, but a legacy of dead ideas, of dead views, conceptions and prac tices about’ the aim of education about educational methods, atiout the organization and content of edu ation. ‘Why should the alm of the Greeks fn education influence the aim we fiave in our educational efforts to day, unless the Greek alm harmonize: and helps the purposes of our Tift today?

Let me divide the sub- ject for further discussion into four heads as follows: The relation of past ideas in education First, to the aim of education; Second, to the content of education. ‘Third, to the methods of education. | Pourth, to the ofeantastion of ef ueation, Taking up first, then, the question of the “deadhand” in the aim of education, let us consider an {dea, which grew up in the Middle Ages, namely, the idea of Knowledge for Knowledge’s sake: or culture — for culture's sake. "At .the time this Be developed, the blanket of ignor: ance was over all Europe and if a man enjoyed any knowledge at all he had to seek it largely for know! edge’s sake, since the prevailing no- tions allowed little connection be. tween knowledge and the needs of the people. The pursuit of knowl- edge, therefore, came to be an end fn itself, excent where it became a hand maiden to those who Intended. to enter the holy orders of the Church. Now, in later centuries when there came to be a closer connection be tween edueation and the people, be- tween the learning of the schools and the universities and the needs of the community, this idea persisted and even continues to our own timme, [tine n “dead-hand,” it hag hampered /tis when we have attempted to formu: ie a new aim of education to meet the new conditions.

It is the notior that culture and learning ate suita ble only for selected classes of th people: that the masses of mankinc have little capacity for thinking an¢ little aspiration for truth.

But more powerful by far than heredity, so far as education can ef- fect anything, is the environment— those conditions of life which sur- round the individual from the cradle to the grave. To use a figure of speech borrowed from another, hu- manity may be likened to one of the great underground streams. of water. Here and there walls are sunk. Tn one place the soil has iron in it, in another place sulphur, in another’ po- ‘tassium and so on. ‘As the — water ‘rises In the well {t takes on a chemi. cal tincture from the elements of the soil. What we want to do today is to prevent the pure stream from con- tamination anywhere by sinking our wells and curbing so ag to bring op- portunity for full development to all. |You and T as teachers cannot. tell |what black boy that sits before us [today is n Intent DuBols, or Booker Washington, or Frederick Douglass, There ate more of them in embryo ‘than we have ever dreamed of in our philosophy of education and of life. They are waiting only to get the op- portunity to develop. How do any of us know which of the white boys we meet on the street corners will develop into an Rdison, a Wilson, or an Abraham Lincoln | There ‘are more latent heroes in our midst. than we suspect, if they only have oppor- tunity to awaken and develop their talents. Let us turn next to the content of Romeand the Mddle Ages, before. the | Rime and the Middle Ages, before the birth of modern democracy. In these times the larger number of the People were in serfdom or slavery and, of course, their main business was to toll and create wealth that |the upper classes might have lefsure and devote it to learning, in the form of literature, history, the sel- ences and literal arts, subjects which were for the interest of gentlemen of lelsure only, who, sought. knowl- |edge for knowledge’s sake. But with |the growth of modern democracy in the last 300 years, with the increas. ing development of inventions and manufactures, there has come a ris. ing tide of demand from the people that they shall have some knowledge and some culture for the elevation of their lowly lives. In addition, the occupations that engaged the time and the attention of the lady and gentleman of leisure of the past are not the occupations of the men and women in a democracy. Also, we have cast aside the “dead-hand” of disapproval upon manual labor and instead of leveling down some men and the work that they do, democra- cy {8 leveling up all men and the occupations in which they are en. gaged, So it comes about that the itech digger. the farmer, the me. chante, workingmen and ‘women. {r all the avenues of industry, are be- zinning to want to find educatior and cniture through the develop ment in the lines where they know Most, where thev are most interested and where their capacities have greatest outlet. Besides, they are demanding that much of ‘the literature and othe beral studies which were wont te be confined to only the ‘upper classes | the Iefsure classes, shall now be dis | tributed to enlighten and to uplif all the people. In fact the very life jof democracy demands that this ave. | Rue of intelligence be thrown wide [open to all the people, It comes about, therefore, that the best though! as to the content of education would not limit it to the few liberal arts und sciences, but education should include — everything that develop: body, mind and spirit, Thus, you Gurley .. .. .. 24 65 Haleyvitle |; 1) 22 35 4.85|Hartsells ./) 0). 23y50 fk70| Heflin. 2... 98 75 7 20| Hobbs Island .. 25 65 875 Huntsville ., |. 23995 1 20|Hurtsboro .. 1. 31 5b 800 | Isbell... 22 20 8y55 | Jackson... ..29 25 7a20 | Jacksonville. . 28 50 065) Jasper .. .... 23 85 9 25|Kennedy .. .. ».24 15 5 95 LaFayette... .30 65 5 50) Littleton... .. 24 75 7 20| Livingston .. s+ 26 85 9 25) Loxley...» 29-25 6 75| Maplesviile 127 25 6 851 Marion .. 1... 28 55 95 Marion Jet.. .. 28 55 8 10| Mobile .. .... -.29 25 1 20| Montevallo». 127 15 65 | Montgomery.” .

Educa- Lion is the development of the powers of the individual ‘to the limit of his capacity that he may best meet all the duties, opportunities and_ privi- ieges of work, leisure and friendship. ‘It ig not so much a matter of what means are used to educate a man so Jong as his full capacities and power are developed that he may meet all ‘the duties and privileges of work, of leisure and of friendship. For some ‘this development may be greatly ‘helped by tools and shops; for others it may be done by laboratories; for others by fields and woods, for still ‘others by books, lbraries, travel and ‘the like, Now we want the content of education to contain all the ele- ee of our civilization from art, literature and ‘science, to those of the shop, the business establishment, |the farm and the home. For only in \this way may all the different capaci- jties of all the people be developed. | Let us turn next to the dead hand jin methods of education and take an jexample in the methods of teaching jieading. The old idea of teaching jthe alphabet and a bare system of | vowel phonetics has long since been shown a poor stick as compared with the word and sentence methods; yet | you will find in many a school-room |today the old McGuffey's chart, or a substitute, and other inadequate de- Ivices that were used before the better |methods were tried and proven. | This condition, Indicated by the ex. Jample in special method, obtains in |many directions in general method. 1 shall not take time to indicate tn detail the need here of our shaking loose from the “dead-hands” of the past, Many of you know of school rooms where teachers are so thor oughly harnessed to Herbartian gen eral method as to allow no chaner for the individuality of the child and no opportunity for the teacher him self to exercise his own originality in adapting instruction to the needs of the punils and the community. Sc conservatively bound are we, that when a Col, Parker comes along an¢ jis snecessfnl in breaking away from [traditional methods. we hail him ai [a wise man from the Bast and flock |to his school to see the thing that |is come to nass, ‘The fact is, if many hae us dared sit down and study out our own school problems on our owt | initiative and if many of us tried te [nse the methods which would fit the Jeonditions of our own partieula | school and our community, we would loften discover methods and princi |nles ag valuable as those discovered |hy Col.

Mr. Felix Hadley, of Jefferson street, was killed by an elevator at the Maxwell House Monday morning. He was found by one of the helpers shortly after the accident occurred. It seems that in some way he was up under the elevator and was not conscious of its resent. He was an old employee at the Maxwell House and other hotels in the city. Mr. Hadley was the father of the late Miss Georgia Hadley. He was also a relative of Mr. Fred Ewing, one of the monotype operators at the A. M. E. Publishing House. PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Hon. T.

Special to the Globe. Tuskegee, Ala., March 16—Booker T. Washington, principal is happy over the donation of a ten thousand dollar tower clock which marks the completion of the White Memorial building, one of the girls' dormitories of his famous school for Negroes. The work on the tower and the setting of the mammoth clock, with Westminster chimes and a large bell to strike the hours and call students from "labor to refreshment," has just been completed. The additional donation was made to the school by the donors of the magnificent structure which cost $75,000. The clock tower on White Memorial Hall rises forty feet above the roof, being located at the center of the building, where the gable roof of the large porch intersects the main roof. The frame work is steel, the steel supporting columns resting on heavy concrete pillars in the foundation of the building. The tower is divided by richly moulded cornice into two parts. The lower part is octagonal in shape, four of the sides being a little longer than the other four sides. The four longer sides are eight feet eight inches long. This part of the tower is twenty-four feet high. The lower part is pierced with four windows, one of each of the four sides. On the same sides as are the windows are four glass clock dials five feet in diameter, raised above the windows. The clock dials are illuminated by electric lights so as to be visible at night. The clock machinery is located in this part of the tower supported on two reinforced concrete platforms. The clock winding is done by electric motors. The power contains four bells ranging in weight from 1,525 pounds to 310 pounds. The bells are arranged for the Westminster Chimes, which strike every quarter hour in addition to the large bell which strikes every hour. CT BROS.

Yet this is but the educational pendulum of time that has swing so far out after all the new fads, swinging back into its correct place. (a) County supervision in colored schools. (b) Combination of county schools. (c) Special text books for colored schools. (d) Negro authors of text books. (e) Great education meeting in each county and among the patrons and farmers. These subjects should be so thrashed out in this meeting, that the seeds could be scattered through the state. Some may say these things are beyond our control. I claim that thought and study can do almost anything. It has revealed all knowledge, stated all principles, formulated all laws, constructed all science, organized all effort, established all civilization, annihilated all error, promulgated all religions, forged the shafts of all progress and reared to the heavens the eternal powers of revealed truth. Permit me to thank this Association for sending me as a delegate to the National Educational meeting that held a very profitable session in Chattanooga last summer. In conclusion, the Architect sees from the beginning not only the finished product of his work, but every part of it in the most minute detail. He is therefore able to guide the workmen at every point and in every part of its construction. So we as teachers must see the end not only from the beginning of the great educational fabric, but from every stage of the work, as we approach that end. Then, and then only, may we escape failure, guard against waste and be able to organize and guide the means that will result in success. For purpose precedes successful effort, as the eye precedes the hand. And all effort without purpose is blind. It lacks unity, dissipates energy, fails to recognize and organize the necessary means, and thus leads the way by the shorter route to failure. It cannot be that earth is man's only home. That our lives are bubbles cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves, and sink in nothingness. Else why is it the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever wandering unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth and then pass off for us to muse on their loveliness? Why is it that the stars, which hold their festival around the midnight throne, are set above the grasp of our limited faculties forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and taken from us, leaving a thousand streams of our affections to flow back in an Alphtorrent upon our hearts? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will spread out before us like the island that slumbered on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which pass before us like shadows will stay forever in our presence. Friday morning and night the session was full of helpful work. Program as printed was carried out in detail; many helpful papers and addresses were read and delivered at this meeting, principle among which was the address of Dr. G. $ Haynes, of Fisk University. Unfortunately the delegates had spent the afternoon at State Normal$^a$ and were late returning to the city, which kept them from being present. Prof. Bristol, State Superintendent, was to have been a speaker, but could not be present and substituted Prof. Robinson. After Dr. Haynes finished, Prof. Robinson said that he had never heard a better address and he did not hear such every day and he felt certain that others present were in the same fx. He took up the work of schools in Tennessee and assured members of the association that state educational authorities and government should render every possible means for the betterment of Negro education in Tennessee. Prof. Robinson dwelt on the idea of Tennessee for Tennesseeans. He stated that foreign capital was getting control of the wealth of the state, and that this was due to the lack of education. He said the Negroes must ask for what they want, and unless If you want to If you want any And your wants LE GLO manager aud Editor Avenue, N.

The meeting was conducted in a strictly businesslike manner. President Batte did not allow any time to be wasted in useless discussion of points of order. The departmental meetings were interesting and much good was accomplished.
