FAMILIES SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR—TIME LIMIT EXTENDED TO APRIL 12TH—GOVERNMENT ALLOWANCE.
(Washington, D. C.—Mr. Emmett J. Scott, who, as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, is looking after the interests of the colored soldiers and colored people generally during the present war, has issued the following statement which is a real human message of vital importance to the families and dependents of colored soldiers and sailors now serving in the army or the Navy of the United States.
"In addition to thousands of colored soldiers," said Mr. Scott, this week, "who are enlisted in the Regular Army and National Guard, thousands of other colored men have been drafted under the Selective Service Law and have been taken away from the families for the purpose of serving their country in this period of national emergency and warmer, Mr. Scott writes: "As a member of justice to the men who have been enlisted to give their lives, if need be, in the service for their Country, the Congress of the United States has enacted the War Insurance Law (sometimes called the Soldiers' and Sailors' Insurance Act) which provides for the care and support of the wife and children of the enlisted or drafted man during his service in the Army or Navy and COMPELS HIM TO CONTRIBUTE UP TO AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF HIS PAY FOR THEIR SERVICE." "The first obligation of every citizen is to his Country, but there remains a duty second only to that primary duty, namely, his duty to protect his family and himself from any eventualities of the war." Soldiers' and Sailors' Insurance Act makes it possible for the soldiers and sailors so to provide that no matter what may come, he may be assured that his loved ones at home will never become the objects of charity."
Compulsory Allotment
"The law says the first thing that a soldier must do is to contribute in fair measure to the support of his wife and children. When he gets into a camp or cantonment he must answer truthfully whether he has a wife, children, or divorced wife who is entitled to alimony under a decree of court, and if he has any of these three the Government will make what is called a Compulsory Allotment, or what perhaps might better be called a deduction from his pay, and this monthly deduction will be made by the Government whether it or not. A soldier must ally to his wife and children at least $15 a month. That is the minimum. This compulsory allotment, however, applies only to the wife and children and to the divorced wife. If the soldier chooses, he must make a voluntary allotment for the support of his Mother, Father, brother, sister, or other dependent. But he may be compelled to give more than $15 to ward his family's support that depends upon his pay, and depends on the size of his family and the extra amount that the Government gives as an "allowance."
Government Allowance
"The amount that the Government gives, known as the "Allowance" is fixed in the law and this monthly "allowance" is generously contributed by the Government each month in addition to the soldier's "compulsory allotment" which is deducted each month out of his wages. The Government's monthly "allowance" is $15 for a wife alone; $25 for a wife and one child; $2.50 for a wife and two children; and $5 for each additional child, provided that the greatest or maximum amount allowed shall not exceed $50. A man may give or allot to his family as much of his monthly wages as he pleases over $15, but the amount which the Government adds or allows is definitely fixed in each case.
The father, mother, grandchildren, brother or sister of a soldier or sailor cannot get a Government allowance unless they are actually dependent and they he man in whole or in part, and they he man it even then to a greater extent that he has been habitually contributed to their support; only in case he has been contributing more than he has to allow to them he can come to the Government for the balance, and then subject to the limitation that all the Government gives to each dependent mother or father is $10 per month, and to each dependent brother, sister, or grandchild $3 per month.
Compensation.
"The "compensation" feature of the law is somewhat like the present system of pensions or Workman's Compensation Act. If, as a result of injuries sustained or disease contracted in the line of duty, an officer, enlisted or drafted man, or an Army or Navy nurse should be physically disabled, provision is made for compensation of from $50 to $100 a month to him (according to rank and pay), and should he die, compensation of from $20 to $75 a month will be paid to his wife, his child, or his widowed mother—these being the only persons entitled to receive compensation in case of death of the soldier. For a widow alone, $25 a month; widow and one child $35 per month; widow and two children $47.50 a month; with $5 for each additional child up to two. If there be no widow, for one child $20 a month; for two children $30; for three children $40. For a widowed mother $20 a month Compensation for a widow or widow
NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE.
DR. HUBBARD REVIEWS LIFE OF
MRS. SAWYERS.
The recent race-adjustment meetings being held at Meharry are attracting much attention among members of the faculty as well as the student body. Reports say these meetings are already bearing much good fruit. Evidences are observed in public places where large bodies of people are thrown together as upon thickly crowded streets, in the transfer station and on crowded street cars. The writer has observed hunger given by both races voluntarily giving up comfortable seats the aged late in the day when work is over and everybody is anxious to reach home on the first car to pass. This incidence occurred: Two aged laborers with buckets in hand boarded a crowded car, two young men well dressed, sat midway the car, when the two laborers crowded up the aisle, looked around, scanned the tired faces and bent forms of the laborers, spoke to his companion and touched the laborer on the arm ring at the same time and beckoned him to thank them. The two laborers with thankful hearts, showed on their rugged, swarthy faces, bowed a polite "thank you" and meekly took the proffered heart. As I witnessed this scene of brotherly love I could breathe a prayer of thanksgiving to the God of all mankind that it was mine to witness this noble act of these young men who stood for twelve blocks or more in the places in the aisle formerly occupied by those tired aged laborers, and watched with visible satisfaction the comfort these seats seemed to render the deceptive laborers. We can see that this act of manliness alone to those recesses for some kind parent or some gentle nurse had sown the seeds in the breasts of these young men early in life and this single act was only a part of the good fruit that must spring from good seeds sown.
Mrs. Sallie Hill Sawyers, mother at Bethlehem House crosses the Bar at Hubbard Hospital last. Wednesday, March 5th. Mrs. Sallie Sawyers breathed her last about 11:25 a.m. Her life in this city was an open book, known and read by all. Dr. Hubbard in speaking at the funeral sald. "Fifty years ago she sat as a pupil in Belle View public school, where he was principal. He paid a glowing tribute to her sacred memorial and admonished all present to strive to be a teacher." Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard visited the Parent-Teachers Association, witnessed an interesting program rendered by the children. They looked into the rooms where half century ago they toiled with our children to implant right principles in their young minds. It must be pleasing to them to see the good fruits of their labors.
MEHARRY DENTAL COLLEGE.
Mr. Samuel Perino was an interesting visitor at Bell View School and expressed himself as well pleased with what he saw.
By appointment, Dr. J. A. Lester addressed the Bell View Association. Sunday at Meharry was a great day of spiritual awakening. At 11, Dr. J. N. Ive, Editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate preached a high-powered sermon on the Faith of our Fathers. He referred to Heb. 11th chapter as the West Minister of the Bible. This adds one more to the splendid spiritual feasts the students of Meharry and Walden are permitted to share.
It is always delightful to have the President, Faculty and student body of Walden College worship with us. Dr. Van Ness, Secretary of the Baptist Board, one of the foremost religious workers in the south, addressed the Meharry Y. M. C. A. at 3:30 o'clock p. m., Sunday. Dr. Van Ness spoke of the knowledge that comes to a man when he is converted. No more can be ignorant of his conversion, the doctor asserted with much emphasis and force, then said he, the life of a converted man must and will bring forth good fruit. His was an eloquent, intellectual, spiritual feast for who heard this consecrated man of God. Next Sunday, March 18th, Dr. C. V. Roman will address the Y. M. C. A. upon the subject of The War, Religion and Race Adjustment. The public is cordially invited. Dr. Hattie Ward, '16, Atlanta, Ga., is a welcome visitor to her Alma Mater. The doctor looks prosperous and happy. News just received that Dr. Jones, New Orleans, La., Dr. G. H. Reed, Louisville, Ky. and Dr. Chas. V. Smith, Pensacola, Fla., have been commissioned First Lieutenants in the M. R. C. of the U. S. Army. This makes a total of $10^{11}$ stars to adorn our beautiful service flag.
ed mother shall continue until death or remarriage; compensation for a child shall cease at the age of 18, or at marriage, unless the child is incompetent. The United States shall pay burial expenses not to exceed $100.
Compensation in case of total or partial disability of the soldier is also provided for under this law. Claim for compensation in case of disability must be filed with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C., within five (5) years after discharge or resignation, on within five years after the death is officially recorded.
Government War Risk Insurance.
"The insurance" feature of the law is especially attractive and deserves most serious consideration and the widest possible publicity. The insurance offered by the United States is the most expensive insurance to the soldier or sailor.
NASHVILLE. TKNN., FRIDAY. MARCH 15. 1918.
HON. WILLIAM H. HARRISON, ON WAR SAVING STAMP TOUR
In Florida and Georgia--More than One Thousand Uniformed Knights in Parade--Ovation at Jackson.
Jacksonville, Fla., Mar. 6. — An oath
such as has never been seen in this city on any previous occasion
was extended to Judge Wm. Henry
Harrison on yesterday and last night.
Judge Harrison came here under the
auspices of the War-Savings Stamp
Campaign Committee, having been
sent here from the nation's capital
by the Speaker's Bureau. There was
a mammon street parade head-
warded by the Stamp Committee,
fines posted (white) and the
Pythian brass band with over 1,000
Uniform Rank Knights in line,
agged by Cadets. The guest of
honor rose in an automobile escorted

Attorney-at-Law, of Oklahoma City, Okla., now on a speaking tour for
War-Savings Stamps.
by the members of the Campaign
Committee, which included Jackson-
ville's most wealthy citizens of both
races.
Last night the climax came when
Judge Harrison was introduced by
the chairman of the committee. He
spoke for fully an hour, swaying his
audience at will. The intelligence
of the audience bespoke the big-
heartedness of both races in the
South with regard to patriotism. I
was a scene that had never been
witnessed before in this great state.
The stage was decorated with huge
American flags and feins. Multi-mili-
lairews were in the audience and
on the platform. After the address
Mr. Arthur Cummers, a graduate of
the University of Michigan, asked
permission of Judge Harrison to
write his wife and tell of his success
and impression. Today the distinguis-
hed visitor was driven all over
the city, visiting the various col-
leges and public schools. This tour
achieve greatness who leaves out of
his life the Sunday school and
church, for all who have achieved
fame and greatness had their basis
in the Christian religion.
The President of the International
Ministers' Alliance, Rev. Jos. Sim-
mons, was also present and said At-
tention is home to him and he was here
on a vacation trip and to look after
the graves of departed relatives. He
complimented the eloquent words of
Judge Harrison and the strength of
his message. He looked that the pres-
ent war will have its influence on
the future of our race. Rev. Sim-
mons further stated that our race
was the one to give civilization and
religious laws through Moses to the
nations.
Dr. Carter gave the greater pro-
portion of the time at morning service
to Judge Harrison, who spoke to
the church also. Dr. Carter intre-
duced him by saying that the Judge
is the man who caused the Grand
insures against death and total disability. It is provided by the Government for the protection of the soldier and his family, in addition to the soldier's monthly allotment and in addition to the Government's compensation for the soldier's death or disability. EVERY SOLDIER AND SAILOR IN THE ARMY OR NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD CARRY A POLICY OF GOVERNMENT INSURANCE UP TO THE LIMIT OF $10,000. If each soldier will scarcely be required from his monthly wages, this insurance applies to injuries or death while in the service or after he or she shall have left it. Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private insurance companies prohibitive. It was, therefore, a plain duty and obligation for the Government to assume the risk of insuring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers who are making the supreme sacrifice. Under this law, every soldier and sailor and nurse now in the service, commissioned, enlisted, or drafted, and of any age, has the right, in 1918, to take on life and total disability insurance up to $10,000 at very low cost, with the Government, and without medical examination... Those hereafter enlisted or drafted can take out War Risk Insurance within 120 days after enlistment, etc.
Colored Soldiers and Sailors—Don't Miss This Royal Opportunity!
The families and dependents of Colored soldiers should write at one and urge Colored soldiers and Sailors to take out War Risk (Government) in
is to be extended to various points in the state of Florida, taking in St. Augustine, Palatka, Ocala, Pensacola. He came here direct from Atlanta, where he held a rousing big meeting and where, in the face of most flattering circumstances, he made good, being received by all classes, winding up to make his finery complete in this state.
Atlanta, Ga., March 3, 1978—Judge W. H. Harrison spoke to the Sunday School of Friendship Baptist Church on Sunday, March the 3rd. In a few choice words he said to the school that no one need expect to

achieve greatness who leaves out of his life the Sunday school and church, for all who have achieved fame and greatness had their basis in the Christian religion. The President of the International Ministers' Alliance, Rev. Jos. Simmons, was also present and said Atlanta is home to him and he was here on a vacation trip and to look after the graves of departed relatives. He complimented the eloquent words of Judge Harrison and the strength of his message. He feels that the present war will have its influence on the future of our race. Rev. Simmons further stated that our race was the one to give civilization and rights laws through Moses to the nations. Dr. Carter gave the greater portion of the time at morning services to Judge Harrison, who spoke to the church also. Dr. Carter introduced him by saying that the Judge is the man who caused the Grand-surance before it is too late. The time limit has been extended to April 12, 1918 in order to give all men in the service an opportunity to protect themselves and their families. The cost ranges from 65 cents monthly, at the age of 21, to only $1.20 monthly, at the age of 51, for each $1000 worth of insurance or only $6.50 per month for a $10,000 policy at the age of 21 years. This is a small charge on a man's pay—a small proportion to the benefits it may bring. The premiums will be deducted from his pay, if he desires, thus eliminating trouble on his part.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO PROCRAM-
TATE. THE GOVERNMENT IS
MAKING A LIBERAL AND UNPRE-
CEDENTED OFFER TO ITS FIGHT-
ING FORCES, BUT THE OFFER IS
OPEN ONLY FOR A LIMITED
TIME—APRIL 12, 1918 being the
LAST DATE FOR THOSE IN THE
SERVICE ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER
14, 1917.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!
THE UNITED STATES GOVERN-
MENT IS BACK OF THIS CON-
TRACT OF INSURANCE. NOTHING
IS SAFER THAN OUR COUN-
TRY'S GUARANTEE!
In case of the soldier's death, each
$1000 of Government insurance will
pay to his beneficiary (wife, child,
brother, sister, parent, etc.) the sum
of $5.75 a month for 240 months, 20
years), less any payments made to
the insured for total and permanent
disability, any losses in excess of
premiums received will be borne by
the U. S. Government. Insurance
protection is not limited by any pro-
vision as to line of duty. THIRTY-ONE
DAYS' GRACE ARE ALLOWED FOR
PAYMENT OF OVERDUE PRE-
father Clause to be repealed and that he says a whole lot of things but they are all so. The ignorance of the white man of the South relative to the accomplishments of the Negro was spoken of.
Judge Harrison said that he was here for the purpose of hearing the pastor's message. He was to speak on things carnal, but Dr. Carter brought spiritual messages. Judge Harrison made plain to his hearers the high privilege given to the minister and the importance of his message. He feels that whatever advantages or honors he may have been heir to should be cited to his people that they might look up and see the silver lining of the dark cloud. By story, Judge Harrison showed that advantages would not give one an escape where other Negros must suffer, and he most strikingly expressed that this war is as a great out of the mountain; it is rolling on and the spirit to Democracy is in its wake where God will take care of his own.
MIUMS. IF INSURANCE LAPSES IT CAN BE REVIVED OR RE-STATED WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
GOVERNMENT WAR RISK INSURANCE HOLDS DAMAGES AFTER THE WAR AND EVEN THOUGH THE SOLDIER LEAVES THE SERVICE provided it is changed in form within five years after the close of the war. No medical examination will be required for this change. THIS INSURANCE CANNOT BE ATTACHED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TAKEN BY CREDITORS. CAN YOU THINK OF A BETTER INVESTMENT? A soldier can take out any amount of insurance he deeds to his family, or the types of $500. A $10,000 policy will yield his family or dependents $57.50 a month for 240 months (20 years), thus absolutely guaranteeing them against want for many years after his death, and avoiding the temptation to wastefully spend a large amount of money suddenly received
Not only soldiers with families, but those with no dependents should easily erase this opportunity to take out War Risks (or Government) Insurance. WHY? (1) Because the insurance is payable to the soldier in monthly instalments of $5.75 for each $1,000 of insurance should he become totally and permanently disabled. (2) Because he may at some later time acquire, by marriage, a dependent whom he would be glad to make his beneficiary (the name of the beneficiary can be changed at any time within certain prescribed limits). And (3) when the war is over and he comes out of the army, he may not be able to pass a physical examination for life insurance in a regular company.
Many Colored Soldiers Already Insured.
It is highly encouraging to note that, out of a total strength of 2,212, commissioned and enlisted men, the 372nd Infantry (colored now stationed at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Virginia hos written $17,277,500 of War Risk insurance, and that after a canvass of the entire regiment only forty (40) men, with no dependents, declined to insure. It is like惫, declined to insure. That the 350th Field Artillery at Camp Dix, New Jersey, consisting entirely of colored men, is one among a number of regiments where every officer and man in the regiment is protected by Government insurance.
Think of what this will mean to the Neoro race after the war is over! Think of the economic strength and measure of respect it will bring to this great group of loyal Americans, enabling them to buy homes, go into business, and to become self-supporting citizens. Colored soldiers and sailors: Let me urge you to take immediate advantage of the generous provision that has been made by our Government in the matter of War Risk Insurance! and relatives of colored soldiers and mailmen! Let us write you write and tell our men in the Army and Navy to insure at once, before it is too laet. Urge them to insure heavily at cheap Government rates, perhaps cheaper than they can get anywhere in the world, under a contract backed by the United States Government, thereby obtaining insurance and creating an estate that cannot be attached, assigned, or otherwise taken by creditors, and thus providing their families and dependents against want for at least twenty years to come! Tell them to act now, for April 12, 1918, is their last chance! Editors, ministers, teachers, Physicians, business men, and all reading classes among the Negro people are united in their respect to this Government War Risk Insurance among the families, and as far as possible, among the colored soldiers, pointing them to this great opportunity.
Application blanks and full information concerning Government insurance may be procured by any soldier from the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C.; from his commanding officer; or from the insurance officer at the camp or cantonment where he is stationed. All

COLORED PEOPLE HEAR FLOQUENT ADDRESS
The big Mt. Tabor colored Baptist church on Reid street was crowded on Wednesday night to hear Judge William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla., who has been sent out with a commission from Secretary of the Treasury, W. G. McAdoo, to campaign among the colored people for the War Savings Stamps. There were upward of 700 people in the big church.
William Harrison is a full-blooded Negro who has worked his way up from a boy in the cotton patch to be a member of the bar of the United States Supreme Court. He is also thought so much of in Oklahoma City a city of 75,000 people, that the white voters there elected him a city judge and president of the Chamber of Commerce. His color was lost sight of in the glamour of his accomplishments.
His mission is to colored people but there were several Palatka white men who heard him last night at the request of the War Savings administration. They were County Chairman Fearnside, the editor of The News, Mr. Stallings and Mr. Priest. They heard some speech.
The speaker cleared for action gradually. He laid a good foundation for his appeal by a series of illustrations calculated to inspire the Negroes with an ambition to become something in the world—first earn their own self respect before asking the respect of others. Gradually he approached his theme, the saving of money through the present scheme of the government to assist in financing the war by the sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. The news will not attempt to report that address; it is sufficient to say that his language and expressions were chaste, his thoughts ennobling, his wit and pathos unplifting and his appeals powerful. He is a finished orator and logical in the movement of his arguments up to the climax of his theme. It is rare indeed that opportunity offers to hear a more brilliant address. As a result of the advice given by this man and his patriotic appeals for the colored people to have a hand in financing this war. The News believes that the sale of Thrift Stamps to colored people will be an important part in the Putnam county total by the end of the year.
MT. NEBO BAPTIST CHURCH.
Sunday school was very largely attended at the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church Sunday, March 10, many new scholars were enrolled also several older ones who had been away have returned and are filling their various places in the Sunday school. Much enthusiasm is manifested over the class that wins the Banner. The Cradle Roll Class (a compased of scholars ages range from 1 to 5 years) won the banner with a collection amounting to nearly $1.00. The entire collection amounted to nearly $4.00.
At 11 a. m., Rev. Lee preached a very spiritual sermon to an appreciative audience. A liberal collection was lifted. The Metoka and Galedai classes will meet Monday, March 18, at 7:30 p. m., at the home of Rev. E. Lenggong, on 28th Avenue, North. It is the desire of the presidents of the classes that each member be present and on time, as much business must be attended at the last meeting over twenty-five Galedai, fifteen Metokas and several visitors were present. Let us increase those numbers at this meeting.
Let us increase desiring information or help in this connection should address the DIRECTOR OF THE BURAU OF WAR RISK INSURANCE, NEW MUSEUM, WASHINGTON, D. C.

CHARLES H. WILLIAMS TO STUDY
RECREATION
By Wm. Anthony Aery.
Hampton, Va., March—War is making inroads on the Hampton Institute staff and student body. Hampton has "loaned" Charles H. Williams, physical director for boys since 1910, to the Phelps Stokes Foundation and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America for the remainder of the school year. Mr. Williams will begin at once to make a careful study of recreational activities, in and around the 18 army cantonments, as they affect colored troops. He will also study religious and social issues. Intercollegiate sports in which Hampton has been scheduled to take part are all over. The inter-class athletic events will be carried on, according to general plans already made, under the direction of Major Allen W. Washington, Hampton's Commandant of Cadets.
MAKER OF MEN
Charles H. Williams, who has been so successful in training winning teams in football, basketball, baseball and track athletics, hails from Camp Nelson, Ky.
He received trade and academic trainin gat Hampton Institute, where he was graduated in 1909.
Then he spent one year in the physical directors' course at the Y. M. C. A. College, Springfield, Mass.
Since 1910, with quiet effectiveness and with uncommon thoroughness, Mr. Williams has worked early and late, summer and winter, for the building up strong, for bodies of 500 boys of Hampton Institute and for the development of athletic teams that have reflected credit on Hampton and the entire colored population.

RISING TO THE OCCASION. By James Davis.
There are many people existing in the Twentieth Century, but are unaware of the fact that this is a time when the modes of living are changing. This is a time of scientific progress, so why adhere to the old customs which flourished fifty years ago? Those old customs must be abandoned for new ones. Get the spirit of the times in which you live, and help civilization to reach the end of the century, by the history of mankind stood. The only way to do this is to go to school and study.
There has been a time when one could get along as well without an education as he could with it. But that time has gone down with the past, and the world is fast approaching the stage when it will be almost impossible for one to make a living without an education. Some will ask this question: What should students bring to school there are no chances for me to make good in life?" To answer a question I will say, of course there are no chances for those who never try. There is no royal road to success. The roads are very rough, but it is up to the traveler to destroy all obstacles that impede his progress. It is the demon of ignorance which bars the doors of success. Challenge him with knowledge, the unconquered champion. It is sometimes the darkest day in the dawn bringing happiness and prosperity; the reward is worth the ef fort.
Lincoln once said: "I will study and be prepared, maybe my chance will come." That is what we all must do-study and be prepared so when the chance comes we shall be chance. Chance comes but once in life. If you are not ready it will pass you by. Wake up! The bell is ringing for breakfast. Be ready to take your place at the table of the

MISS FLAGG IMPROVING.
The many friends of Miss Viola L. Flagg, the efficient, energetic and thoroughgoing president of the Minneapolis Club of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, will be pleased to know which she underwent Monday at Hale Hospital was in every way successful. Unless unforeseen complications arise of which there is no indication at this time, Miss Flagg will be able to greet her many friends in a few days. For her sunny disposition, careful application to her duties, high regard for both the spiritual and financial welfare of her church she is much missed. Young women her calibre who devote entire life to the pursuit and well-being of humanity are self-aware and for this reason Chapel A. M. E. Church and Nashville in general have felt much anxiety as to the outcome of more than twelve weeks' serious illness.
The members of the club have placed in her room at the hospital a beautiful potted plant. Miss Flagg cheerfully asserts that besides being an inspiration, it is a constant and happy reminder of the thoughtful and loving hands that placed it there.

HADLEY SCHOOL NEWS.
Hadley school is yet retaining its former reputation as during the past few years of being one of the most progressive and popular schools of our city. All of the students seem to be enthusiastic in their work. We have some of the best teachers of our city, who are loved by all the pupils. They all seem to be deeply interested in their pupils.
Mr. Baxter Cato, who was recently appointed as a member of the Board of Education gave our school a very pleasant visit a fey days ago. He seemed to be very much interested in the work he saw here. He also addressed the pupils of the second floor and visited their classes some of the work that they were doing. Mr. Cato is certainly a fine man.
The pupils of this school are taking a great interest in buying Thrift or War Savings Stamps now. In doing so we feel that we are doing our "bit" towards helping our country to win the war, and benefit those who purchase them. The pupils of our school are showing their patriotism by purchasing these stamps which they know will be of great value to them. These are the most destructive war in which our country and the Allied Nations of the world are extensively engaged.
The Hadley boys of the sixth A grades, are doing excellent work in their industrial department at the Pearl High center. Prof. McKlissack has harge of the mechanical work, being assisted by Prof. Battle. The Pearl High boys are doing marvelous work also.
Mr. Bush Faulkner, one of the pupils of the sixth A grade, has been absent for two weeks or more on the account of a seriously sprained ankle.
Miss Berta Campbell, another pupil of the sixth A grade has moved to East Nashville, where she will be transferred to Meigs school. The pupils of our school hated to depart with her for she was loved by all of her teachers and her schoolmates.

Perhaps the most surprising news
that has been flashed across the
Atlantic from somewhere in France
since the war was the news item
stating that American soldiers have
been sentenced to be put to death
for sleeping on duty in the trenches,
“Sleeping on duty" is as common
almost as sleep itself, and while we
have never associated the trenches
with the places we regard as desira-
ble for lodging—we hope that there
will be circumstances that the pres.
ident will find when he reviews the
cases that will favor the soldiers. It
may be their expression of contempt
for the activities of the Germans be-
fore them, “but their expsession will
hardly satisfy a nation who are keyed
up to a point of sending an army
8,000 miles to defend the rights of iMb-
erty. But will this country be. more
severe on the boys in the trenches
than on others that have been placed
on the firing line in other service
that is essential to the successful
Prosecution of the war? Day by day
some one on this side of the Atlantic
is discovered sleeping on duty.
‘The draft board in Georgia who ex-
empted all but colored men, are
guilty of “sleeping on duty.” ‘Those
who accepted this exemption are
“sleeping on duty”—and all should be
punished,
MISTER FARMER.
Long before the coming of the
meatless days and the wheatless
days, no oue wanted to be called a
farmer. Our professional kindred we
spoke of with a feeling of proud dis
tinetion—but our former relation
we referred to with apologetic tones
no one found dignity in being called
a farmer, and when some one was
called a farmer, they knew it meant
that they were rude, unpolished and
behind the times—but, 1o,,the farmer
has come unto his nwo behind the
times. No, no, he is ahead of th
times; no more we hear “cotton i
King, but instead the farmer is king;
fon him rests the biggest responsi
bility that has ever fallen on any
class of workers.
“Food will win the war.” On thi
American farmer rests a task greate
than that which confronts the Amer
fcan Army. Did Rooker T. Washing
ton see this when he admonished hi
race to become pioneers on the ol
soll, to stay away from the cities
and later when he urged all to rats
a pi? Those who heeded the ad
vice of the sage of Tuskegee ar
reaping a deserving reward, whil
those who heeded not regret’ tha
they didn’t, while all must “dom
thelr hats to “Mister Farmer,” wh
has come into his own.
We are not sorry that any one was
advised of our coming to Evansville,
but nevertheless we were accorded a
reception that will long Inger in our
memory. We were joyfully met at
the threshold of our bedroom by

IN MEMORY OF PROF STEVAN R. YOUNG
Mr. Stevan R. Young who came to us as teacher in Industrial Art died at Camp Lee, Virginia, Jan. 29th 1918.
When the New High School was ready to enter and the department of Industrial Art was added, Mr. Young was chosen to fill a position in that department. He was among us only to be called by his country to train for service.
Though with us as a co-worker a very few weeks we had the opportunity to see and judge of him to be a worthy young man, well trained for the work, gentlemanly in his bearing and we had bright prospects for his work here.
Mr. Young adopted for his, a life of service. He had entered upon his work here with enthusiasm and regretted very much having to give it up so soon, but after remaining in the job he expressed himself as finding even greater service to render there. He was promoted from corporal to sergeant.
While we regret the sad news of his departure, we feel that the Lord has a purpose in visiting this sorrow upheld a purpose in this His will for he death all, all, well.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and the Pearl High Voice. Respectfully submitted. Mr C. L. L. McKissack, Chairman. Miss L. A. L. McKissack, Chairman. Miss E. M. Jordan.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
A good wife must be a good housekeeper. No matter what a girl's accomplishments may be, her education is incomplete, if she has not some knowledge in the science of all branches of domestic science. All experience and observation show that good housekeeping is one of the most essential elements of happiness in the household. Even if a girl should never be required to do the work herself, she ought to know whether the work is done in the proper manner or not. "Give me the fair one in city or country whose home and its duties are dear to her heart." The greatest defect in our social system is the aimless way in which our girls are brought up. Nineteens of them are prepared in neither body nor mind for the lofty duties and serve a responsible marriage, in consequence, has been brought down to a low moral plane. Let our girls be brought up to have their daily domestic duties, let idleness be forbidden them, and let every woman be clothed with the dignity of a useful life. The great secret of domestic tranquility lies in a good square meal. One writer has said,
"We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, we may live without heart;
We may live without friends, we may live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without cooks."
With Dr. Holland we believe that there is but one reason for many of our social ceeing, and that is "univer-sal housekeeping." No hotel or boarding house, no cafe or restaurant, however pleasant, can supply the want created by an instinctive heart longing for some place "be it ever so lowly" which can be called—Our Home.

U. S. GOVERNMENT WAR-SAVING STAMPS.
What They Are and Why You Should Buy Them.
The War-Savings Plan.
Q. What is the War-Savings Plan?
A. It is a plan by which you can lend small savings to your Government at a rate of interest averaging 4 per cent, compounded quarterly.
Q. How may this be done?
A. By purchasing War-Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
Q. What is a War-Savings Stamp?
A. It is a stamp for which the Government will pay you $5 on January 1, 1923.
Q. What does it cost?
A. Between $4.12 and $4.23 during 1918, depending upon the month in which purchased.
Q. What is a Thrift Stamp?
A. It is a stamp costing 25 cents, to be applied in payment for a War-Savings Stamp. It does not earn interest. The purpose of its issue is to enable people to accumulate in small sums the amount necessary to pay for a War-Savings Stamp.
Q. Where can I buy them?
A. At post offices, banks and other authorized agencies.
Q. Why should I buy them?
A. Every dollar loaned to the Government helps to save the lives of our men at the front and to win the war.
War-Savings Stamps and Certificates.
Q. I want to begin to save on the War-Saving Plan. What is the first thing to do?
A. Take $4.12 to the post office or a bank, or any other agent, buy a War-Savings Stamp, and ask for a War-Savings Certificate.
Q. What is a War-Savings Certificate?
Q. Is the War-Savings Certificate a Government obligation?
A. It becomes an obligation as soon as one or more War-Savings Stamps are issued.
Q. Does the War-Savings Certificate cost anything?
A. No. The agent from whom you purchase the stamps will write your name and address on the certificate and will furnish you an envelope in which to keep it.
Q. What do I do after that?
A. Affix the War-Savings Stamp on your envelope in the space No. 1 and take good care of it.
Q. What do I do next?
A. You have now become a war saver. Continue to buy War-Savings Stamps every week or month and put them on your certificate until you have filled all of the 20 spaces. When this is done you can buy another War-Savings Stamp, and you will receive free of cost another certificate to which you can attach new stamps as you buy them.
Q. When I have filled the 20 spaces on my certificate what do I do with it?
A. Keep the certificate until January 1, 1922, and the Government will pay you $100 for it.
Q. How many War-Savings Certificates can I fill?
A. Ten. The law allows each per son to own $1,000 worth of War-Savings Certificates.
The Price of War-Savings Stamps.
Q. Does the price of a War-Savings Stamp always remain the same?
A. No. The price for each month appears on the face of each stamp.
Never pay either more or less than the amount shown for the month in which you make the purchase. The price is $4.12 in December, 1917, and January, 1918, and increases one cent each month after January, 1918, until in December, 1918, when the price is $4.23.
Q. What is the price of War-Savings Stamps for each month of 1918?
A. January, $4.12; February, $4.13; March, $4.14; April, $4.15; May, $4.16; June, $4.17; July, $4.18; August, $4.19; September, $4.20; October, $4.21; November, $4.22; December, $4.23.
Q. Why is the price higher each month?
A. Because the stamps are earning interest.

ment.
Q. What security is behind the War-Savings Stamp?
A. The United States Government promises to pay $5 for each Stamp affixed to a certificate on January 1, 1923. This promise is backed by the faith and honor of the United States and by the taxing power of this country, which is the richest Nation in world.
B. Why do the United States borrow this money?
A. To pay the expenses of the war.
Q. When I lend my money to the Government, would it be safer to buy a Government bond rather than these War-Saving Stamps?
A. When a War-Savings Stamp is attached to a War-Savings Certificate it becomes a Government obligation with the same security as the Liberty bonds, now held by more than 10,000,000 Americans.
Q. Is a 4 percent interest compounded quarterly, on War-Savings Certificates paid in the same way as the interest on Liberty Bonds?
A. No. The Liberty bond interest is paid every six months, but the interest on the War-Savings Certificate accumulates and is paid to you in one month, on January 1, 1923.
Q. Why isn't the interest paid in the same manner on both War-Savings Certificates and Liberty bonds?
A. It would be very complicated and expensive to pay interest every six months on $5 stamps and for that reason the United States Government retains the interest until January 1, 1923, at which time it pays you the compound interest and the principal amount to $5, the face value of the War-Savings Stamp. Q. Is the money received from War-Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps used for the same purpose as the money received from Liberty bonds?
A. Yes.
Q. How did Congress authorize these War-Savings Certificates?
A. By act approved September 24, 1917.
Q. How large an amount of War-Savings Certificates can be issued under the present law?
Transfer.
Q. Should I sell my thrift card to anyone?
A. No. Your Thrift Card has your name on it and should be filled with sixteen 25-cent Thrift Stamps and exchanged at a post office, bank or other authorized agency for a War-Savings Stamp.
B. Registration
Q. Should I register a War-Savings Certificate?
A. Yes, if you wish to secure payment in case the certificate is lost.
Q. Am I required to register it?
A. No.
Q. Where can I register it?
A. At the post office.
Q. Can I register Thrift Stamps or my Thrift Card?
A. No.
Q. Suppose a married woman wishes to cash her War-Savings Certificate which is registered in her maiden name?
A. She should sign herself Mary Jones, now by marriage Mary Brown.
Q. If I have fire War-Savings Stamps on my War-Savings Certificate and have it registered and I put one more stamp on, must I have it registered again to have protection on my six stamps?
A. Yes. Each stamp must be registered.
Loss.
Q. If I lose some detached Thrift Stamps, can I get my money back? A. No. These stamps are of value to the bearer, just as postage stamps are. Q. If I lose my Thrift Card, what can I do? A. Be sure to put your name and address on the Thrift Card, so that if the linder drops it in any post box, you without postage it may be returned to you? Q. Un an attached War-Savings Stamp of value to anyone who finds it? A. Yes. For this reason you should attach it to your War-Savings Certificate at the time of purchase. You may write across the face of the stamp your name and the number of your certificate. Q. If a registered War-Savings Certificate is lost or destroyed, what should you do? If it is not returned to you within a reasonable time, report it to your postmaster where you had your certificate registered.
Q. How do I get my money back if my registered War-Savings Certificate is lost?

A SPRING DAY.
Once I went out to play,
It was on a fine spring day;
Mother told me not to stay long.
Because she thought I would do
wrong.
When I came back across the track
I saw a boy with a grass sack;
I asked him what did they sit on
at school,
And he replied, a four-legged stool.
I went back home that day
I did not go out any more to play;
For mother said I stayed too long,
And I surely did something wrong.

REFLECTIONS FROM THE GRAM-
MAR GRADUATING CLASS.
Another school year has come to a close, but we at all times cannot help but remember old Pearl. We had to undergo many hardships, but now have the most modern school in the city; and although we have been here only a short while, we have greatly appreciated it, and have the honor of being the first class to graduate from the grammar department from the new Pearl High School. We have spent many pleasant and profitable days in Pearl with our teachers and classmates. Although we wish to and must continue our studies, we regret having to leave the "dear old gram mar department." We wish to thank
the principal and teachers for their kindness and for the interest they have taken in us. May success and happiness attend both teachers and pupils in their future career. Carrie L. Kirkpatrick. Pearl High School, Nashville, Tenn.

WILLIAM GOFF KENNEDY DEAD
AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS.
News has just reached this office that William Goff Kennedy departed this life and crossed the Great Divide, Thursday, March 14th, at 11:00 a.m. m. Mr. Kennedy was perhaps one of the best and most widely-known actors, claiming Nashville as he was born and reared in Nashville, and earlier days in the city of this birth. The young age he showed rare ability and talent for stage work and at the age of sixteen made his initial bow before the footlights. He spent more than 23 years of continued service on the stage, having been connected and travelling with some of the best companies in America, was one of the first Negro performers to be trained for travelling extensively through Wyoming, Arizona, the Detroitos, extending as far as Utah, coming back through New Mexico. He was known

WILL GOFF KENNEDY,
Conedian, old man character imper
sonator, singer and Shakespearian
dellenter.
as well in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas as he was in the overglades of Florida, possessing, as he did, a very rare, rich and melodious language voice. He was at once a decided success and it was said of him in the early days of his career, that the stage had produced none better. Not only had Mr. Kennedy rare ability as a performer, but he showed unusual ability both as a promoter and producer of plays and sketch comedy. His arrangements of a number of acts, etc., have achieved unusual success for him. His genial disposition, frank, friendly manners, and sunny smile who for him everywhere hosts of friends who loved him, inquired of him and kept in touch with him no matter where he travelled. If he chanced to be in the East or Carolinas of the Virginias, he was among a host of friends and if he chanced to be in Arizona, Colorado, Utah or Mexico, he found himself among a host of friends. For the past eight consecutive years Mr. Kennedy has been transportation manager, property man and stage manager of Prof. Enh William's Silas Green Company. To say that they have missed him during his illness is but putting it in the mildest position. He bore up well through the years of solid illness. He was always curious, optimistic and happy. There was a week when a company of performers either in route North or South did not stop in Nashville to call on and give respects to their fellow-craftsmen. To mourn their loss he leaves a beloved mother, who has nursed him like an angel through all his illness, sister, aunt and a host of friends. He was baptized by the Rev. Spencer Jackson on Jan. 22, 1918. At his bedside at the last hour were his mother, sister and intimate friends of the family. Nashville suffers a loss of one of its most brilliant and talented young men in the death of Mr. Wm. Goff Kennedy.
Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Seenecer Jackson, pastor, corner Eighth avenue, North, and Gay street, Saturday, March 16, at 2 o'clock.
In the passing of Will Goff Kennedy not only will Neahvillans receive the sad intelligence of his death which occurred March 14th at the Anderson's residence, 1300 14th Avenue, but the same regret will be felt by hundreds and thousands of admiring friends, men and women, boys and girls, in every walk of life, all over the country, North East South and West from the Atlantic to the Pacific, everywhere he was known. The passing of Mr. Kennedy at this time was looked for by many of his friends here by craftmen and friends abroad who knew of his illness, no doubt thought so sorriently about his condition; they hoped for a speedy recovery and return to the "bible world," the "fun world," the mammoth show "top" of the "Silas Green From New Orleans" company.
The host of friends, both old and young, all over the southland, who knew not of his illness are expecting to see "Uuncle Bent" (as he was often or Mr. Kennedy when Prof. Eph Hiphone famous Traobadours "Come to town, alas, their hearts will be made sad, a sigh, and mayhaps a tear, when they are told "Will Goff Kennedy is no more. He's quit, yes quit." To have known Will Goff Kennedy, on or off the stage, socially or upon
business, was but to admire him, kind hearted, intelligent, unassuming, alert and on every occasion charitable as he was. He knew how to meet men, make friends and then hold them. He knew his business, he knew how to manage men without the whip or lash. Another beautiful characteristic which he possessed was he loved his mother, "my mother as he would say when talking with friends. Mother was his happiest thought at all times, anywhere, and with her he spent his lastdays and from "mother's" lips he received his last kiss.
But Will Goff Kennedy is gone, he is no more, and who is now left to take his place. Who will succeed in driving away that tired boresome feeling of the working man or working woman as he did by his witty humor, ours sayings; who can fill his place in the hearts of the lovers of song and poetry; who will bring the tears of laughter into the eyes of the little boys and girls as did "Uncle Ben," who can take his place in "mothers' heart—Nobody. But weep not he is not dead; "Tis we who make our dead dead," he only sleepepth. His memory shall ever be cherished by all who knew him. Rest on "Uncle Ben," your friends are coming.
Vocational Training: Its Aim and Scope.
An education which cultivates the industrial spirit is the best education the school can give; it is the only all-round education; it is the only human education; it is the only education based on the self-activity of the pupil and is therefore the only education which will satisfy the demands of our day and generation; potent beyond anything we have yet tried; it diminishes prauerism and crime, which have increased out of proportion to the growth of population. It is then not too too much that contact with the actual material the shop, laboratory, the kitchen and the garden will awaken the individual to the consciousness of the value of the many industrious phases that touch him on every side and help to shape his very existence. There can be no question of the desirability of the strong body for the time has long since passed when to be a student means to be an invalid and a weakling. The pupil is made stronger morally, for deception in vocational training is made more difficult. In the shop, in the sewing room, or in the kitchen, be the box or too short, the metal too thick or too thin, the toy too loose, the basket little, the stitches or even, or the ingerdients improper in proportion, little doubt need enter the pupil's mind as to the rightness of his work. He can see and have pointed out to him the faults or defects.
Contact with the materials of the shop, the sewing room and kitchen, and a study of the raw products and participation in the various processes assist toward a more complete understanding of our industrial life. The vocational teachers of Pearl High School are advocates of the following reasons why vocational training is necessary: First, manual training will create in the mind of the individual a love for work and an appreciation of the dignity of honest labor. Second—The natural activity of the student is give—free—play in the hand work process. Breach elsewhere. Third—The industrial side of our work-a-day existence calling to us from every walk of life gains clearness in the minds of those boys and girls who engage in vocational work
Fourth—The immature mind of the youth demands rest and recreation from the continuous application of book studies. The introduction of hand work relieves the tension and returns the student to his other tasks refreshed in body and mind. Fifth—The physical development of the youth is certain for such work calls for strength and bodily action. Sixth—The moral standard of the student is raised for any defect is readily observed by bother teacher and pupil. Seventh—Persons who have pursued a course in vocational training generally possess dexterity in handling materials. Lastly—Work in manual training may lead to the completion of some trade.
grade pupils on the following three topics: Work, Behavior and Love for your home and country.
Among many things he said, was this: "You can always tell an educated man or woman if his or her life is based on these three topics." His presence as well as Dr. Fisher's are always welcome.
Some weeks ago the front entrance to our noble school building was shut off by the back waters. Entrance to the building was gained by coming in through the rear. We came just the same and had good lessons to recite to our teacher, Prof. Wm. Allen, as usual.
One of our classmates, Frank Irons, Jr., has been ill nearly three weeks, but is now well and has returned to his studies.

Among those that have enlisted in the various branches of the service that have had safe arrivals in France, going through the safe conveyance not being molested by the dreadful submarine, is Prof. J.

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL-
BY A DESK.
By Majorie Howard.
Everyone who has been in a school room knows how a desk looks so I don't suppose I shall have to describe myself.
I am an oak desk and I can distinctly remember the time when I stood on a high hill looking down on the world. Just how I came to have an educational calling I don't know, but here I am in Miss Collins' room at the Moran School and here I am likely to stay forever, perhaps. I do not see much of the world but hear a great deal of it, as Neal Jones is my present occupant and such a place never heard before in all my life. My mouth never closes, even when she gets sent to the corner. She is in twelve years of age and pretends to be quite a young lady, but she is not above standing in the corner.
My face has been badly scorred by pen knives in idle hands. I have heard Miss Collins say that an "idle brain is the Devil's worship" and I am ready to say that "idle hands are the devil's workmen," for I am always "when I came into the Moran School for the first time I was securely naked to the floor; perhaps to keep me from running away and the desks that had been in school for quita a while been telling me their stories. Some were most horrible, you may well believe. The very next morning Jimmy Darrell, my first owner, carved his initials on my newly polished face I was so angry and disgusted that I cried all day, which you humans crack, he disdissailed or angry Miss Collins could not stand the noise so she sent me to the junior, who fastened me to the floor with some more of those that headed things that you call "nails." I stopped crying for something else had harmed my attention. It was Eva Lora J. Mrs. She was the most precise little girl that I ever saw. She never missed a lesson; she never missed a day of school; she never talked in school; she never permission; she was the best teacher child that ever was and the teacher did her as much as the children disliked her as much. She walked in the clouds and wore a golden halo on her head. All she would have to do when she dies is to walk right into heaven.
There are "Eva Doras" everywhere. Perhaps the girl that sits next to you in school is one. When children are so extraordinarily good, they are cheating themselves out of a lot of fun. What would life be in some mistakes? It is not necessary to be bad like Tommy Clark. He was to pull the girls' hair ribbon and hide it in Miss Collins' appocket. How he did it I do not know, but of course I do know that Miss Collins was often placed in a very embarrassing position. He used to put tacks in the seats for the girls to sit on and one day he brought a tadpole to school and down it Elsei Grizziard's back. Oh, my how she did scream! I shall never be as long as I live how comical she is jumping up and down, yelling: "Miss Collins! Miss Collins! Tommy put a snake down my back! He'll bite me. Oh, dear, he'll kill me!"
The children could not help laughing, but one of the girls took Elsie out of doors. Soon she came back with the startling news that Elsie was dead from the "snake bite." Miss Collins rushed out, followed by all of the children, but they soon came back for Elsie had only fainted from fear. She was revived in a short time and her mother came for her. For a while I thought Tommy would faint also. He turned as pale as death, for he thought that Elsie was dead and he was the cause of it. I suppose he saw himself in jail. Here are some examples of conversation that we desks hear: "Am I going to me your spelling paper. Uncle Jim took us to the movies last night and didn't get any lesson. I'll tell you about the play at recess. What do you think? Mary Lou and her hee were the show last night and so much love talk you never heard! I was sitting right behind them and I heard every word they said."
One girl has the toothebach and some one is giving her a remedy in
"Papa says to you, 'goes like this: 'Papa says to put a hot iron on your tooth when it is a wound and he says it will surely stop. My pana knows most anything that's worth knowing.' How would you like to be a desk? We desks know the children better than the teacher does. Perhaps I shall be here in school forever, knowing more and more children as the years go by.

FLAG RAISING AT PEARL HIGH
Hon. Preston Taylor delivers Address.
On Friday, Feb. 8 at the auditorium period, the Service Flag for the teachers, graduates, and undergraduates who have answered their nations call to arms was dedicated by Hon. Preston Taylor. The exercises were opened by the singing of "America," after which Prof. F. G. Smith read the list of those who had gone to fight their nations battles. Explaining that the Central star had been made larger than the other stars in honor of Lieut. C. H. H. Smith, a graduate and an efficient teacher and a golden star had been made in honor of our beloved Prof. Stevan Young, who died while in training.
After which Hon. Preston Taylor was introduced. He entered upon his discourse by showing the service rendered by the Negro to his country. He explained the color of the American flag, its history, and the reverence that we owe to it. He told of the Civil War methods of fighting from his personal experience, then he turned to the Service Flag and explained its significance, he said that the memory of these young men should be cherished in our hearts. He pointed out the newer methods of fighting, with machine guns, bombs, bayonets, trenches and aplaneur. He showed that the German prepared seated at a high. He maintained that the Negro was always loyal to his flag, and that the Negro is a success rather than a failure. He employed divine guidance for our soldier boys. His address was received with a voiceless applause after which the school sang the Star Spangled Banner —Pearl High School Voice.
Nashville, Tenn., 3-2-18. The Nashville Globe, City. Gentlemen: You will find enclosed the report of the Negro Women's War Work Committee. In these times of conservation along all lines. I have endeavored to bear in mind that conservation of space in your valuable paper, for the thing most important for the time being, was a necessity and, therefore, have not submitted this report before, for the reason that when it was made to the local authorities here in Nashville we were told that we should receive and official acknowledgement from national headquarters, and I felt that when that time came around it would be in order to ask you to make one publication answer the purpose. Feeling that wherever the public is concerned and is called upon to give, it is entitled to a final report is why I am now submitting this one to you, also, because it answers several inquiries that have been made as to the final result of the campaign.
For the benefit of the general public, I'd like to state that when we were asked to do this special work, there were already two campaigns launched among our people, namely, that for the Milk and Ice Fund for dependent mothers and babies of the city, and that of the Forward Quest Girls Club. In view of these, it was decided to give just a few days or to have a whirlwind campaign of this work, in order that we might go on with the others; and pledged ourselves to raise one hundred ($100) dollars within the stipulated time.
In submitting the games and amounts and the sur sur total, it may seem very big, but when these other campaigns are taken into consideration and the multitudinous demands made upon us each day, under all the existing circumstances, aside from the fact that there is no local Y. W. C. A. for Negroes as an added stimulus, those of us who did the work feel that the response was very gratifying and the effort well worth while.
When the report was sent in to Mrs. Trawick, as General Chairman for the state, she replied that in no part of her work during the entire campaign did she find more joy and appreciation than in the splendid cooperation of our committee, and that the amount remitted was far beyond her expertions. After her accomplishment, it was clearly demonstrated that we are endeavoring to do our bit in all of these affairs in which we are called upon to co-operate.
We have made the effort to give credit to every one who contributed, and, to any who did give and fail to see their names, I want to say that they will remember to whom they made their gift, and it is included in the amount solicited by that individual; as in the rush of the campaign we did not get all of the names from the different solicitors, but have given due credit to all the women brought in by our solicitor. The report is as follows:
The City Federation, $5; the New Idea Club, $5; the Forward Quest Club, $5; the E. W. S. Club, $2; the H. T. G. M. Club, $1; Gold Leaf Ct.

WHY WE FAIL IN- STEAD OF SUCCEED
WHY WE FAIL IN- STEAD OF SUCCEED
By Samuel H. Williams.
The tide of life is in the high school age. At this time there comes surging up within the boy a food of new interests and desires which he does not understand, but will find to think in a new and strange way. The sanctions of childhood which he the sanctioned without question from his elder, longer satisfy him. He begins to chale under their resilrain. He is like a man in an open boat with the pilot overboard and the rudder gone drift. This above all others is the time "when a feller needs a friend." The boy at this period of his life is surrounded by conditions that come from his awakening sex impulses which afford him disaster, whether his home is in the countr-, village or city. It is of utmost importance that he shall admire men whose thought, speech and conduct are clean and that his own habits of the boy free from impurity. Too few boys are free to preachers are able to get into those contact with this phase of the boy's life.
The most marked characteristic of this is sociability. Boys naturally form groups for social enjoyment. Left to themselves, this tendency often leads them astray. Under proper guidance this group tendency may be constructing and improving. There is also a great danger that high school boys and girls will deviate false standards of honor. The teacher's relations with teachers are strong. Disregard for rights of property either of individuals or of school or community in common. They may
satisfy their conscience by claiming a different standard with their relations with their teacher or their "chums" or by distinction between "swiping" and stealing, but the fact remains that they are in danger of forming habits of dishonesty which are likely to become permanent. Remember, friends, always be honest in all undertakings. Be ambitious, have patience and always think before you speak and look before you leap, for it is everlastingly too late after you once have leaped. Never give up, keep on trying, although the way may seem hard sometimes, and remember these lines of a famous man:
"The heights that great men have reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they while their companions slept.
Were toiling upward in the night."
It is an evidential fact that failure in the beginning could mean success in the end, but the trouble with our race today is that when we get to a hill we turn back and find ourselves worse off than at first. Have ambition to be strong; make it over the hill no matter what the cost may be and work like "Hades" to stay there.
The greatest fault of our people is that they don't co-operate. There was a man in California that had fifteen colored men hired and one day a large log had to be moved and it took the co-operation of all the men to move the log. It was done so gently that the landlord had it published, taking first time that he had ever seen fifteen color men together. So, boys of today, let's change this thought and show other races what we can do. Though degraded by two hundred and fifty years of slavery, we shall rise from the bottom to the top by the help of the Lord Jesus. Now is the time, if there ever was a time, that we as a race would need more men that will live up to their obligations. At all times the tongue is our ruin, so if we ever intend to be what the Almighty would have us place where we can control our tongue. Then, as sure as we are living, we shall have all the rights of an American citizen.
After knowing these things, there is a piece in the greatest book that says: "If we know these things happy are ye: if ye do them." Knowing these facts we need to be men, live up to our promises and without a doubt success is ours.
