WATCH FOR FULL PARTICULARS ABOUT THE AGE'S BIG CIRCULATION CAMPAIGN VOL. XXIX No. 14 ART WORK FROM AFRICAN TRIBE Extraordinary Collection Brought by Lang and Chapin From Heart of Africa EXHIBIT AT AMERICAN MUSEUM The Lang-Chapin Expedition, After 6 Years in Africa, Brought Out Specimens of Sculptures and Pottery to Cannibal Tribe. ALSO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Esthetic World Knows No Such Combination of Sculpture and Pictorial Art, Not Anything Finer Than the Technical Finish—Specimens Are From the Mangbettu Tribe, Belgian Congo. On exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History are specimens of sculpture and pictorial art obtained from the Mangbettu FRED R. MOORE Editor and Publisher tribe, which lives in the Belgian Congo, Africa, and scientists say these specimens form an extraordinary ethnological and zoological collection. It is further declared that outside of this African art the world of esthetics knows no such combination of sculpture and pictorial art combined in one form, nor does it know anything finer than the technical side of these sculptures, which are exquisitely finished. Scenes on Ivory Bands. The collection was brought to this country by the Lang-Chapin expedition, which spent six years in Africa, much of the time in the Mangbetu country, and it was from this people that the finest pieces of native sculpture ever brought out of the heart of Africa were obtained. Only six of these sculptures have been placed on exhibition as yet, together with two examples of African pottery in the form of jugs fashioned in the shape of men's heads. Three of the sculptures are in the form of men's heads woven by curiously-shaped headaddresses or crowns. They are carved from a beautifully colored red wood and the heads are mounted on bases which are really hollow containers for keeping small objects, something like one of our jewel boxes. It is these bases which add to the interest of the sculptures, for each one has a sheet of ivory banded about it about five inches wide, on which are pictured native scenes. These pictures are made of incised lines filled in with black ink. They show a man fishing in a boat, attended by numerous attendants; a man having an encounter with what may be called a bull; another climbing a tree, and still another playing a harp of a type very common in Egyptian art. Evidences of Culture. The Mangbettii tribe, from which these things and many others not ready to be shown come, have only been known to the outside world since Schweinfurth published his book about Africa after his explorations of 1808 to 1871. This German found that the Mangbettii had the reputation of being the most cannibalistic tribe in the world and yet were known to cultivate that Christmas Day Was Like a Balmy Spring Day, But the People Woke Sunday Morning and Found a Semi-Blizzard Ragging-High Winds Blew Away Snowstorm and Weather Turned Fair Special musical programs, some or them very elaborate, were arranged by the choristers and organists of most of the churches of Greater New York, for the Christmas Day and Christmas Sunday services. The weather on Christmas Day was like that of a warm April day, and the Episcopal and Catholic churches were elaborately decorated for the services. Large congregations were the rule, and the choirs, augmented in some instances by extra voices and orchestral instruments, sang with splendid effect. Christmas Sandav brought a small blizzard, with rain, sleet, snow, and a high wind which attained at one time a velocity of ninety miles a hour, tying up traffic, demolishing windows, blowing down trees and wires, and causing a number of persons to be killed. Under the circumstances very small congregations were the order at all of the churches, and some of the churches could have no service at all. As a consequence, in a number of instances, the Christ-mas music will be repeated next Sunday. Church of St. Benedict the Moor. The Rev. Father Thos. O'Kesha. Priest.

Mrs. Payne was head designer for the firm of Flores- heimer & Co., dealers in women's wear, New York, and had returned from Paris only three weeks ago. She was enroute home to spend Christmas with her mother, husband and three children. The wreck was caused by a rear end collision, section 3 of the west bound train crashing into the Ithaca sleeper, which was the last car on section 2. It was a wooden car, and was split in two by the engine attached to section 3. Mr. Payne occupied lower 11, and that herth was completely demolished When extricated from the wreckage, Mrs. Payne was found to have sustained a fractured spine, a broken collar bone and broken arms. She died before the relief train could reach Stroudsburg. Returned from Paris Three Weeks Ago Mrs. Payne had been with Floeischheimer & Co. for some time, and had worked her way up to the position of head designer. She had made five trips to Paris for the firm, returning from the last one just three weeks ago. She was 39 years old, and leaves a mother, Mrs. Nannie Jones; husband, two sons, Lewis Verdelle and Alexander Wattial; one daughter, Carolyn, and one brother Alexander Jones, of Scranton, Pa.

WAYCROSS, G., Dec. 28—Judge Somerall, of the Superior Court, sentenced Ben Higgs, a well known white man of Millwood, to ninety-nine years in the State Penitentiary for the murder of Martha Anderson, a Negro woman. The crime was committed last July. The jury, composed of white men, gave a verdict within thirty minutes after the case was given to them, at the same time recommending the murdered to the mercy of the court. Mrs. Anderson was 59 years old and had never been involved in any quarrel with Higgs. The testimony developed the fact that Higgs tried to hire her to pick cotton for him and when she refused to leave home he fired his Winchester rifle at her, killing her instantly. Higgs had been drinking "moonshine" liquor, according to his companion. DOCTOR GIVES DINNER TO THE POOR FOLKS Special to TUG New York Art. Jackson, Miss.

We welcome you to our residence and recommend that await you in this position, and pledge you our earnest support and loyal labor, each in his separate sphere, to make your leadership of this great work all that our trustees and friends hope for, teachers, and students alike stand with you to serve the highest interests of the institution NEGRO CONVICTS MAKE XMAS TOYS Special to Turk New York Ac Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 28—II W. Cross, serving a life sentence in the penitentiary from Fayette County for second degree murder, has made a stage with several mechanically-operated figures, which he sent as a Christmas present to Governor Willis through Warden Thomas last week. On the miniature stage are seen a couple doing a graceful hesitation waltz, a dancing girl and a buck-and-wing minstrel man, while over in a corner sits a piano player, who, to all appearances, is furnishing the ragtime to which the others sway and glide in wonderfully realistic style. Cross has put in several weeks designing and perfecting the gift. It is operated by clock mechanism. Another gift fashion within the prison walls, not as complicated as Cross's manikins, but alike indicative of the resourcefulness of the convicts, is a small express wagon made by James Wilson, also colored. It will be given to James Woodward. JAMES W. JOHNSON Contributing Editor GILBERT MOORE Head of Printing Department CHRISTOPHER J. DUDLEY Mailing Department Northern African Negroes Served With Italian Army During Italo-Turko War When the Black Tribesmen Volunteered for Servio Italy Feared to Use Them, but Finally Sandwiched Them In, One to Every Four Italians—Returned from War Laden With Honors. James A. Rivers, who used to be a sparring partner of Jack Johnson, and who went to Europe in 1905 with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show as an interpreter, returned to America about three months ago. For the past four years he was stationed at Rome, Italy, in the employ of the Italian government as instructor in boxing to the Italian policemen. He tells the following interesting story of the use by Italy of black troops from the northern part of Africa in the Italy-Turko war of 1911: "During the war of 1911 between Italy and Turkey, there was a tribe of Northern African Negroes, called Ascari's, numbering about two hundred thousand or more, having their habitation in Tripoli on the border of the Mediterranean Sea near Egypt. This tribe volunteered to the Italian government for military service, but fearing treachery, the Italians hesitated for more than two months to accept them. Finally, it was decided to use them, putting one Negro soldier to every four Italians. Black Troopa Lionized. "The achievement of the Negro soldiers was the most important factor in the campaign. The Italian government, to show its appreciation and pride in their activities, placed these men in all the different branches of government service. They were also taken on trips to all the important cities of Italy, thousands of them making the trips at the expense of the government. Everywhere they went these black troops were idolized and lionized by the breathless and hitherto raking families. "The tribe is of a large, raw-boned species, quite muscular, wearing sandals or going barefooted, and accustomed only to hot climates and sandy regions. The tribe has volunteered -its services in this present war, but the government refused to accept them on account of the cold climate." Mr Rivers speaks six or seven languages, and after leaving the Buffalo Bill show was interpreter for four,years at the Folies Bergere, Paris, one of the largest theatres in the world. He will open a school of languages at the colored Y. M. C. A. January 1 in the evenings, starting with classes in French and Italian. WOUNDED AMERICAN IN FRENCH HOSPITAL Dr. Daniel T. Brantley, lately returned from the Philippines, visited the Hospital for Convalescents at Nice, France. He found an American Negro, J. H. Montgomery, in the hospital, badly wounded, having lost a leg, besides other injuries. Montgomery was a member of the French Foreign Legion and told Dr. Brantley that he was wounded at the battle of Marne. Montgomery was a chauffeur in Paris at the outbreak of the war, and going into service was assigned to the ambulance corps. He has relatives in this country from whom he has not heard in a number of years. A brother and some cousins were last heard of as living in Baltimore. He can be reached by a letter addressed to the Hospital for Convalescents, Nice, France. CAPTAIN'S LICENSE TO R. J. SALISBURY Special to The New York Age. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK NORFOLK, Va. Dec. 28—After undergoing a test examination submitted by the United States local inspector, renewal of his captain's license was granted to R. J. Salisbury, who has served eight years as captain on a passenger steamer on the Tar and Pamlico rivers. Mr. Salisbury is the only Negro in North Carolina who holds this position, his license empowering him to command vessels of one hundred tons or less, or to act as mate on river steamers of any tonnage. He is a native of Tarboro, but is in the railway mail service with headquarters at Norfolk NEGRO RED CAPS IN WHITE MEN Special to The New York Ac. OGEN, Utah. Dec. 28. For the first time in history, Ogden Station is now manned with colored Red Caps. The change was made recently when the four white men who had been employed were dismissed and four Negroes employed in their stead. L. Clarence Jones, of Chicago, is in charge, with Felix Paskett as his assistant. The men are paid a salary of $60 per month. Their service has been so satisfactory that already the railroad management has commended them for their impartial and obliging manner to the traveling public. PRICE FIVE CENTS HAITI OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES Possibilities That Are Ogan for the American Negro in the Negro Republic. Schools That Will Give the Untrained and Ignorant Lower Classes Education and Training Will Help the Whole People. Trained Agriculturists from the States Can Secure Land Concessions at Little or No Cost—Land Is Rich and Needs No Fertilizer—Up-To-Date Agricultural Machinery Needed. Haiti's greatest need just now, according to Dr. Raymond Vilaire Cabeche, formerly a member of the Chamber of Deputies of Dr. Raymond Vilaire Cabeche Haiti, can be provided for by the settling in that country of American Negroes with sufficient capital to develop the agricultural resources, and by the establishment of schools for industrial education. Dr. Cabeche declares that the native Haitian will give a cordial welcome to the American Negro, realizing that there is a kinship through color and blood admixture. Haiti's agricultural possibilities are unlimited and the man with a knowledge of modern methods of cultivation, possessing sufficient capital to install modern machinery, can lay the foundation for wealth. The land is rich and there is no need, says Dr. Cabeche, for fertilizer of any sort. Cultivation of crops is of the crudest kind. Cotton matures quickly, and corn peas and potatoes make two crops a year. The islanders know nothing of plowing. Corn is simply dropped on top of the ground and the grain comes to maturity in four months. The only cultivation it receives is the cutting away of the grass, when the corn is twelve or fifteen inches high, and for this the natives use the machete and hoes. Land can be easily acquired under lease, and if naturalization papers are taken out, the land can be purchased. Dr. Cabeche believes that the Haitian government will give to the American Negro the most favorable terms of lease, probably not making any charge at all in consideration of the development of the country's resources. Then, too, says he, labor is very cheap. There are at present in the island, white men enjoying concessions under ninety-nine year leases. The establishment of schools for industrial education will be of immense benefit to the lower classes. The upper class Haitian is highly educated, having, as a rule, graduated from the leading colleges of Haiti and the universities of France. He has not enough points in common with the lower class Haitian. As a consequence the Haitian of the lower class remains ignorant and undeveloped. An industrial school, smaller than Tuskegee, but modeled along similar lines, will help to raise the masses and develop their ability to take advantage of Haiti's natural opportunities. Dr Cabebe says it would be necessary for a native Haitian to be at the head of such an institution, that the government might be induced to grant necessary concessions, but the faculty should be composed of trained American Negro teachers. Haiti's main products include coffee, cotton, cocoa, large quantities of which are exported every year. There are many varieties of native hard woods, mahogany and lignum vitae among the and there are opportunities for financial concessions also. Some white men are owners of concessions now by which they have the privilege of prospecting for copper, in the Mine de Pierre Neilux, and Dr. Cabeche says that these men have been shipping out quantities of copper. Inland are to be found gold, silver, coal, iron, and other precious metals, and the American Negro would be gladly welcomed and granted concessions. The improvement of Haiti's co can be brought about, says Dr. by a combination of the best and American influence. He tain requirements, embodied in the following statement: 1. A good and patriotic President, assisted by ministers well determined to work for the benefit and welfare of the Haitian people. 2. A Chamber of Deputies and a Senate composed of patriotic members. 3. Honest men in the financial administration and at the head of the Customs House (there are many such men in the country). 4. An agricultural bank to help the owner of lands. 5. A good organization of rural and urban police. 6. The lower class people must be educated and trained in industrial and agricultural work. 7. Freedom of the press to criticize every wrong thing in the administration, and to advise concerning the best interest of the country in everything that pertains to its advancement. WHITE PALLBEARERS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. East as Vegas N. Mex. Dec. 29—At the funeral of Montgomery Bell, one of the wealthiest men in the state, the pall bearers were all what, some of the most prominent business and professional men of the community. This is the first time in the history of New Mexico that white pall bearers operated at a Negro funeral. Mr Bell came to New Mexico in 1866 from Missouri, working as a waiter and cook. Later he became a messenger in the First National Bank of Santa Fe. Acumulating some capital he went into the sheep business with Mexican partners, with headquarters at Las Vegas. He became very wealthy, and possessing plenty of ready cash, he increased his holdings by making loans. He was called Bell, the money lender. Four years ago he became interested in the banking business with John W. Harris, a white man, and financed the People's Trust Co, but remained as a silent partner. He was reputed to be worth in the neighborhood of $350,000 when he died. The funeral was held from the American Methodist Church, J M Ireland, of the Christian Science Church, having charge of the service. The pall-bearers were John W Harris, president of the People's Bank and Trust Co; George H Hunker, lawyer and banker; Nicassio C deBaca, merchant, R K. McClanahan, physician, William Frand and P L. Pinard, ranchmen. Mr Bell's wife died two years ago, and his only surviving relatives are a sister and one niece. NEGRO FINANCIERS AND MERCHANTS NEEDED Speech to the New York Age. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 29. That the Negroes of this country need a large class of eminently successful financiers and heads of mercantile establishments in order to support their educational and other interests was asserted by Dr. D. S. S. Goodloe, president of the Maryland State Teachers' Association, at the opening of the annual session of that body last night. He said the theory was erroneous that an industrial labor class was the primary need for the adequate support of colored men and women engaged in the professional walks of life. The late Booker T. Washington, he said, evidently had in mind the need of the race being engaged in the higher lines of business and finance when he organized the National Negro Business League. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, Superintendent of Schools Charles J. Koch. William Anderson and George B. Murphy were among other speakers. The needs of the colored schools of Maryland were discussed at Morgan College this morning and afternoon The Rev. C. A Tindley, of Philadelphia, addressed a large audience at the Metropolitan M E Church tonight The meeting will close with a reception and an interpretation of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems by Archald H. Grimke this Thursday night. HEADWAITER'S WIDOW LEAVES $10.0 Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Baltimore, Md.

NEGRO DOCTOR HOME FROM PHILIPPINES Dr. Daniel Troy Brantley, for the past fifteen years located in the practice of medicine at Albay, Luzon, Philippine Islands, reached New York on Friday, December 24, on the French mail steamer Patria, from Lisbon Leaving Manila, he touched enroute at Hong Kong, and took the Japan steamer for Morocco, coming to Malta. The steamer was a careful taut strait course, dearing its purpose to enroute in the led Cross service, he was able to get across to England. He went then to Madrid, Spain, and to Lisbon, from which he enbarked for New York. I Brantley was attached to the United States army as a member of the hospital corps, and in 1900 he decided to locate in the islands. He finished his medical course at St Thomas University, the Spanish medical college at Manila, and was the first Negro to be granted a license as a doctor in the Philippines. He located at Alley Luzon and has a good practice. He is in the States to take a postgraduate course in surgery. He was born in Lelma Ala, but made Chicago his home prior to settling in the Philippines. Negro Judge at Albay. There are only three colored Ameri- ters at Alias, the others being Judge Alice Somersille and Chas Walker, an counselor, who is a blacksmith. Judge Somersille went from New York as a sculptor in 1902 but some of the wages in the Mamla office connected to him because of color, so he was assigned a private secretary to A.U. Bettis and Lunion. Somersille so sequently took up the practice of law and enjoy the largest clientele of any lawyer in the state. He has been chosen as a city of the district court and has degree of business in the Court. Prince declares that there is a land opening for a National Association as an autobiographical limit to open a garage and repair patients. At present there is no co-qualified, and not owners or autos to a large num- ber are put to considerable expense and delay in case of accidents. Speaking of conditions in the islands, Dr. Branley thinks the present administration's policy has not the Philippines lack at least a generation. The offices have been filled by thinkers with democratic politicians to attention being paid to their qualifications. Governor General Harrison lacking experience of a broad and general nature has not been able to measure up to the standards to be laid and Wright, and this has created the entire archipelago. As to the states, it the native is not read or settled government, out the Philippines that he is capable of handling the reins and he wants the government turned over to him. Dr. Branley purposes to take his postgraduate course either in New York or Chicago and hopes to return to the Philippines in the spring. He will not return through Europe, but will sail from San Francisco. CHARLESTON FOUGHT VICIOUS PHOTOPLAY Special to The New York Ave CHARLESTON, W. Va., Dec. 28.-The photo-play. The Birth of a Nation, which was shown last week at the Burlew Opera House, this city, was butterly taught by the leading colored business and professional men of this city, in fact the manager of the play said that they had never been given such a battle before. As soon as the colored citizens learned that the play was booked for Christmas week, a committee consisting of the Revs. F. H. Gow, B. R. Reed and J. S. Carroll, Profs. J. F. J. Clark, W. W. Saunders, C. W. Boyd and R. Cheeks, L. O. Wilson, state librarian, C. H. James, wholesale produce and commission merchant, Drs. H. F. Gamble, W. L. Jones and B A Criclow and T. G Nutter, attorney, waited upon the manager of the Burlew Opera House and registered their protest against the play, and not being satisfied with the audience with Mr Burlew, took the matter up with Mayor George E. Breece and City Solicitor George McClintic, and insisted that the best interest of the city demanded that the picture should not be shown here as it would tend to disturb the happy relations existing between the races. The mayor immediately called a conference consisting of the above named gentlemen the manager of the Burlew and the traveling manager of the photoplay to see it some understanding could not be reached. The conference proved unavailing as the committee insisted upon the elimination of the entire second part of the play, to which the management would not consent as the elimination of the second part would have destroyed the picture. Failing to bring the parties together, Mayor Breece decided to go to Parkersburg to witness the play, and was accompanied by the city solicitor, city manager, T. G. Nutter, C H James, the Rev F. H Gow and J F J. Clark. Mayor Restrained by Injunction. Returning to the city, the mayor announced through the papers that he would not permit the play to be shown in this city as he considered it immoral and obscene and a gross misrepresentation of the colored people, and that if necessary he would use the police force to prevent its presentation here. On last Friday the manager of the Burlew applied to Judge Samuel D. Littlepage, of the Circuit Court, for an injunction, restraining the mayor and chief of police from interfering with the production of the play, and the case was argued by W I Byrne, for the Burlew and T. G. Nutter and City Solicitor McClintick on behalf of the mayor and chief of police. It was a forensic battle long to be remembered. Mr Nutter made the principal speech against granting the injunction. The temporary injunction was granted and the case was rushed to the Supreme Court of Appeals Saturday morning in hopes that a decision might be had before Monday. A petition was filed for an appeal and supersedeas and the case was argued at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The appeal was granted, but the supersedeas was denied by a divided court. Judges Mason and Lynch favoring the appeal and supersedeas, while Judges Poffenbarger and Miller favored the appeal, but opposed the su- persedes because there was some question as to whether or not the City of Charleston had the authority to pass the ordinance upon which the city authorities based their action, and as the court would adjourn at 2 p. m. for the holidays, it would not have time to make a careful examination of the subject, hence the temporary injunction of Judg. itelle remains in force until passed upon by the Any Bruce e and City Policiter Me it to stoneurned in their efforts to comply with the wishes of the colored citizens. There was not a dissenting voice among the colored people—men and women were unanimous in their condemnation of the play and were ready to spend their last dollar in order to keep it out. No such unity of action has ever been witnessed before in this or any other city. They were backed in their efforts by every Republican officer-holder in the city, from the governor on down, all of whom contributed what they could to the efforts to eliminate the play GEORGIA'S DIVISION Served to the New York Ace. Washington, D.C. 28--The legislature's construction bills provide more than a half million dollars for the international institution of the tariff including the public schools, which is an appropriation of just $100,000. The Georgia school, the Georgia College for Colored Peas, is an institution of which R R Wright is a member. A matter of fact this $8,000 does not all come from the state treasury, but the sum accruing annually from the land scrap and which must be for Negro education. Forced by Atlanta University received a proportion of $8,000 but when the legislative vesting committee saw the white children of members of the faculty in the same classes with Negro students a demand was made on the university authorities that the white children be taken out of the classes and sent to other schools. Members of the faculty refused to do so, and the legislature then withheld the appropriation from Atlanta University. But the money could not, under the law be diverted to any other use, or given to any of the institutions for white students, and so, after a considerable sum had accumulated in the state treasury, the Georgia State Industrial College was established and Major Wright put at its head.

SPELMAN BAP ROCKEF" The W. L. Rockefeller who died in 1875, was made public this week. After he passes to the various members of the family and to certain in institutions, the will provided that the residuary estate he divided upon eight institutions, among which Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., which school is named for Mrs. Rockefeller's sister. But power is given the executors to exclude from sharing in the estate any of the institutions, and under this authority the executors have excluded four of the institutions. Spelman Seminary being one of them. No reason is given for excluding Spelman, and the action is the more surprising as that school has always been considered as a Rockefeller institution. The first building erected of the present plant was made possible by money from the Rockefeller family. The executors named in the will are John D Rockefeller, Sr., the husband; John D Rockefeller, Jr., a son, and Mrs Alta Rockefeller Prentice, a daughter. No reason is given for this action by the executors. DIRECT STEAMSHIP Special to The New York Aor Washington Dec. 29. Officials of the theatre of State are watching with depart interest an attempt to establish a direct steamship line between this country and Liberia. A few days ago the stormer Noun found from Boston reached Monrovia. The news was imme- nially flashed to Secretary Lansing, in turn, notified Dr. Christ Loon, the Liberian consul-general to this country. The European war has crippled European trade with France England and German and many have been attracted by the possibilities of trade with this country. Liberian mahogany, rubber of other products could be used to ad- vantage in this country, while mea- chinery, their clothing and other products could find a ready market there. The attempt to establish a line between this country and Liberia is being backed by a number of colored men.

Brooklyn, old during that time he associated with the mezzanin boys in the titan avenue curtain, smoking, draining and playing cards with them. He even kept company with a young girl, and he would be seen with her occasionally at the theatres and moving picture shows. Death revealed the fact that "Rudolph" was a woman. In the Christmas Season just ended we were glad to greet many Readers of this Newspaper, whom we have known in former years, and count among our steadfast friends. "Rudolph" was found on Christmas night by his employer, Mrs. Markel, laying sick on the kitchen floor. She called an ambulance and he was taken to the Brooklyn hospital, where he died an hour later.

THE AGE presents its com- pliments and wishes its friends and large corps of readers a Happy and Prosperous New, Year. | fHE AGE'S BIG CIRCULA LATION CAMPAIGN. The Age is soon to inaugurate a great circulation campaign, the greatest ever conducted in the history of Negro journalism. The Age realizes that there is a great and growing field for a great Ne- gro newspaper, and among the “niaiiy progressive steps to be taken by this publication during the year of 1916, the first will be to increase its circulation to 100,- 000. Taking into consideration the present good-sized circulation of The Age and the fact that it is more widely read and is sent to more different parts of the world than any other colored newspaper published, we do not think our plans to increase its circulation to 100,000 copies weekly is an idle dream. . The feature’ of the circulation campaign will be that articles of value will be given free to-all who become personally interested in boosting the circulation of The Age. Just what the articles are and how they may be secured free will be told-in another issue. However, it can be said at this writing that the things to be given away during this campaign ex- traordinary have been carefully selected from hundreds of arti- cles, and «will be yery useful as well as valuable, The Age cannot be accused of immodesty when it makes the statement that it enjoys the repu- tation of being the most influen- tial of all Negro publications. Commencing with the first of the year it is going to make an honest and energetic effort to become one of the leading weeklies of this country, not the leading Negro weekly. 30 watch for further information about the big circu, lation campaign, for it is bound to excite your interest, be you a subscriber or non-subscriber. For months past the New York American has been covering its editorial page with articles printed in bold type, in which it calls upon the United States to perform its duty and stop the war. This effort on the part of the American to stop the war does not appear to be prompted so much by a desire for peace as it is by some vague and ominous fear that a continuation of hostilities will result even tually in the overthrow of the white race. In its mind the American pictures Japan and China and India and, perhaps, Africa, as watch- fully waiting until the warring countries exhaust themselves, when they will jump in and do to the white nations of Europe just what these white nations have becn doing to them. Listen to the following wail clipped from a recent article: ‘There Will Come an End Some Day to Europe's Bloody jusiness, Husiist Side Will Be Exhausted Before VERY Long. Both Sides Perhaps Will Discover Simultaneously That Their Sup- plies of Blood and Money Are Drained—Then Peace of Some Kind MUST COME, Before Peace, and After Peace, There Will Be Much ‘Talk: of Brotherly Love and the End of Armament. Old Ladies and Gentlemen, Very Young People, and Cripples—Not Killed—Will See a Rosy Future Free from War. BUT LET THEM REMEMBER ASIA AND LOOK OUT FOR ASIA. While the Whites Have Been Butchering Each Other Asia Has Been Waiting and Grinning. Behind the Fatalistic Buddha Stands the Modern Japa- nese with Knowledge of War and Cunning to Lead the Asiatic Hundreds of Millions. LOOK OUT FOR HIM! ‘This is nothing more or less than a nightmare, a nightmare resulting from guilty conscience. Why should the white races of Europe fear the darker races to the east and south of them except for the fact that they know deep down in their hearts how unjustly they have dealt with their darker brethren? What reason would there be for such misgivings if these white races did not feel that. according to their own code of ethics, these dark races, once possess- irig the power, would érush and hold them in a position of inferior- ity? It is simply the question of a thief believing that everybody else will steal, 4 . Listen again and hear the editor of the American rave: Eventually, white intelligence, the Hitle of it that this war may leave, will undoubtedly rule the earth and come into itg own again. oo But it is quite possible that the immediate result of this wae, the actial ending of the battle begun by vicious, jealous avaricious rulers, will be a vast Asiatic conquest, 2 period of darkness and of misery over Europe and the whole world sa succession of centuries more miserable than the Dark - Ages; thése.European Middle Ages-of superstition black as ; night, followifg upon the conquest of barbarlans from the north wiping out tke,civilization of Greece and Rome. THE NEGRO HOUSING PRORLEM. An article in the New York “Times” gives a report of a series of conferences betwéen represen- tatives of the A@visory Council ‘of Real°Estate interests, the City and Suburban Homes Company, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and the Property Owners’ Improve- ment Corporation, on the question of providing proper housing con- ditions for colored people in New York City. ‘ These conferences appear to have covered many, points. The questions of cost of rent, crowd- ing, and lodgers, and the possibil- ity of the erection of a Mills Hotel were discussed. r Of course, many of the prob- lems arising out of conditions among colored people living in New York, especially ini the crowded Harlem section, will have to gradually adjust them- selves; yet, there are others that can be remedied by the proper kind of assistance. The one greatest evil is the compulsory mixing of the good and bad elements of the race; any- thing done to mitigate this evil would be a blessing. However, it Seems to be the most difficult of all¢o handle. +. Ene eavibigrins Cl Crees Cae ee ee theve very.

" Let the editor of the American calm his soul and understand that the white race as not always “ruled the earth,” and will rot continue to do so in the way in which it has for the past few centuries, Let him remember that the earth rolled’ along for many thousands of years without the direction of the white, races, Let him net forget that when these same white races were covered with hair and grunt- ng in their caves while gnawing on a raw bone, the darker races were giving the impulse which was to lift man above the beast; that they were laying the foundations of the arts and sciences which the white races now sq boistfully claim as their own. After reading the ravings in the above paragraphs, we need not be astonished at the ridiculousness of the following: si Fortunately for us of North and South America, we make up a world by ourselves, a world of white men and white civilization, 3 North and South America do not make up a world of white men. The great majority ot the people of Mexico, and of South and Cen- tral America are not white. What is more, these people know that the United States does not regard or treat them,as white, and this they deeply resent. If the editor of the Amerftan is looking for friendly feeling toward the United States, he would do better to look to Japan. There is a very simple remedy for the Hearst nightmare; if the editor of the American wishes to help avoid the dreadful things he is picturing in his fevered brain, let him spread through his great paper the doctrine of justice to all men, whether they be black or. white, yellow or brown. WATCHING THE-WHITE MAN PLAY. BOSE SCAGEES Wilh NAVE LHC SCOSS OF HUMOS (COUCHES DY & OATst reading of the following despatch. from Annapolis; bitt.if, they will read it .oversthoughtfully they will'find that it contains-an element of pathos. ‘Some readers may ‘not be able to see the pathetic, be- cause of the fact that at their closest point pathos and humor merge linto. each other, yet from that point there is a constant divergence until they are as far ppart as the poles. For example, what is ow first impulse when we see a man‘slip up on a banana. peel or an.icy pavement? ‘Why to laugh, of course; but if he lies there still and unable to move on account of a broken arm or a fractured skull, all. that is humorous in the situation immediately vanishes, and the tender emotions of the heart at once come into play. So,miuch for the psychology of the question; let us get to the Annapolis despatch : HAZING PARTY GETS HAZING. New Waiter at Naval Academy Upsets System. Annapolis, Md., Dec. 21-—In imitation of Naval Academy students, Negro waiters who serve the cadets recently estab- lished a ‘system of hazing for new recruits to their-ranks, Such’a recruit arrived to-day from, Virginia, The hazers got busy, but their subject objected. Three of the imitators were badly whipped and the others driven off, with a pistol. Certainly it is laughable to picture a band of hazers being turned upon by the “hazée” and licked to a frazzle. A sight of the intended victim chasing his would-be persecuters around and aroand the chamber of horrors would surely bring from us roars of laugh- ter. Where-then does the pathetic clement come in? The pathetic clement can be discovered in the first paragraph of the quoted des- patch, which reads as follows: “In imitation of Naval Academy students, Negro waiters who serve the cadets recently established a system of hazing for new recruits to their ranks.” Now, if you are thoughtful, you Will be struck by this question—“Can’t the colored waiters at the Naval Academy find something better in which to imi- tate the cadets than the silly and ofttimes brutal practice of hazing?” Perhaps some one will think that the writer is a little hard on the waiters; the writer has no intention of being so; he makes due allowance for the fact that it is as natural for young colored fellows to indulge in pranks as it is for young white fellows. But that is not the point. The point is this, the relations between the colored wait: ers and the white cadets is such that the waiters have only small opportunity ‘of observing the cadets applying themselves to their work; they see more of them during hours of relaxation and recre- lation; and so, the impression which the colored men gain of life at the Naval Academy is one of frivolity rather than hard, earrfest work, If such a relationship was limited to the Naval Academy, it would be a matter of no importance. But we have taken the Annap- olis waiters only as a text. This relationship is very «general.| Thousands and thousands of our brightest young men, during their working hours, are engaged in wafching the white man play; and in their leisure hours are engaged in giving an imitation of the white man at play. And there is where the pathos comes in. A very large number of our most promising young men get the:r start in life through some occupation which throws them in contact with the white man when he is taking his pleasures. They see him dining and wining, dancing and gaming, lolling and loafing; most of them fail to understand that this generally means merely a brief relaxation for men who work like slaves; they have full oppor- tunity to see how the white man spends his money, but none to see how he earns it; so, it is easy for them to gain the idea that life means pleasure. ‘ Who has not witnessed the effects of this? W'ho has not often seen colored men who are employed in hotels or club houses or as valets spending from their few dollars in just the same manner as the men whom they serve spend from their hundreds of thousands or their millions? Isn’t that a pathetic sight? The employment which brings so many of us in contact with the white man at play is all right in itself; it is honest and often quite profitable; the danger lies in the great temptation to imitate him only in the things at which he plays. This temptation would be offset if there were equal opportunities to see him at work, to observe him in his factories and big business institutions, but there are not. In a word, we are, for the greater part, still in the position of working for the white man and not with him. Nevertheless, as natural and alluring as it is for those who are thrown into this relationship to copy what is ephemeral rather than what is solid, they are not to be excused. They, and not only they, put the whole race, must realize that the most essential thing before us in this country is to learn the methods by which the white man accomplishes his work, and not the manner in which he takes his play. A HEARST NIGHTMARE. For months past the New York American has been covering SUPPORT RACE’ENTER- : PRISES. As new resolutions are now in order, The Age suggests that the Negroes of Harlem collectively resolve to support all enterprises conducted by members of the race more loyally during the in- coming year than in 1915." No place in this world is so pregnant with alluring prospects for busi- ness projects conducted and pat- ronized by Negroes, as in Harlem, where the nearly 50,000 colored people within a radius of ten blocks. The population of many towns about which we read daily (especially in the South), does rfot exceed 50,000, and yet they sup- port several large department stores, banks, grocery stores by. the score, bakeries, shoe stores, theatres, and many other business institutions too numerous to men- tion. In Hariem the colored peo- ple have the numbers and they have the money. They can make Harlem an object lesson—a com- munity to be pointed at with) pride by our white friends if we only will. Let us begin now to have pride and confidence in our- selves. A STRAW. The following éditorial_para- graph from the Florida “Times- Union” is significant: A prominent Floridian writes us: “I was an ardent + Wilson man, but now T have reformed.” ‘Well, the Times- Union is not sorry that it sup- ported Oscar Underwood for the head of the ticket. The “Times-Union” is one of the most influential papers-in-the South, and a straw in its editorial column shows which way the Southern Democratic winds are blowing. Here we have a prom- inent Floridian saying he is sorry that he suported Wilson, and the “Times-Union” saying it is glad it didn’t. If that much plain senti- ment against the present adminis- tration finds open expression in the editorial columns of a leading Southern Democratic paper, it is reasonable to conclude that a great deal more is being said in private conversation by Demo- crats all through the Solid South.

(BY FRANK P. CHISHOLM) He taught mine, and for the past ten years have been officially identified with the work of this institution. It does not become me, therefore, to attempt an estimate of the services of my lamented chief, my race and to the nation. My purpose is to help one of my own personal reminiscences of our dead hero. I first heard of my late chiefinan in 1906 when I was almost ready to graduate from the grammar school at my home, Savanah, Ga. While trying to decide the question as to what I would do after graduating, I read the famous speech of Dr. Washington, which hadattered to me the country toward one of the passages that speech was this; "No: race will ever get up on its feet until it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling the soil as in writing a poem." About this time, I also came across a quotation of his printed in an almanac which in America. It is no better off than fool (oof America," his utterance doubled greatly in the question of the expatriation of the Negro to Africa, which was being agitated at the time as a solution of the Negro problem. Both of these thoughts made a profound impression upon my youthful mind. I coupled them together and cleaned from them that his two-fold idea was: (1) That training for farm work was just as important and as necessary, as book education, and (2) that whether the Negro was sent to Africa or remained in America he had to be educated. These common sense ideas of his had much to do with my deciding to go to Tuskegee Institute to pursue further training for my life's work. During my student days at Tuskegee, I had seen Mr. Washington on many a real cold, bitter morning come down to the students' dining room with no fire alarm on, and overcoat snugly buttoned up, and his arm around the table inquiring into the comfort of the students. He would ask: "Are you getting enough to eat? If not, come to the office and report it. The food here is simple, but we mean to have it well cooked, and 'we want you to get plenty of what we have.' At night, in 'the dressing room the students marched out, he would be standing point where the students would have to sit. His keen, piercing eyes were sure to detect any grease-spots that were on the students' clothes or any buttons that by chance were conspicuous by their absence from the students' clothing. Any offender in this respect was sure to be placed in the room and spoken to by Mr. Washington and enquired against letting this thing happen—a record in which case the student would be properly disciplined. These glimpse show another side of the character of this great man. Although he was principal of the school he number of assistants whose duty it was was small, and apparently small matters, he was absolutely unselfish and constantly exhibited the deepest interest in the bodily and personal comfort and happiness of his students. I question, whether there are many exercises of big schools in America exercise a personal degree of interest in the personal side of their students. One of the iron clad rules of Tuskegee Institute is that no student must ever be released from his trade contract. After I had served two years of apprenticeship at my printer's trade, I went to school released from my third year in order to be school a year earlier than my contract would have permitted. When I discussed the matter with Mr. Washington, he asked me why it was that I wished to be released from my contract. I said only that my ambition was to be a lawyer, and that to Tuskegee to spend only four years, and that after graduating from Tuskegee was going to attend Howard University for the purpose of studying law. Dr. Washington did not take so well to the idea. He not only refused to authorize me from my contract, but earnestly advised me to law and urged me to stick to my printer's trade and some day conduct a successful print shop in the South. He, had me understand, however, that he was not opposed to the study of law by Negroes. Rather, he raised the question of the legal under the race in its present condition the reason for its vice as a lawyer, whether legal advice was the greatest need of an ignorant, backward, struggling people. At the time I thought he was wrong and I was right. From experience and careful reading of the legal needs and conditions of the miscreant people, I have learned that he was right and I was wrong. Mr. Washington was most patient. I remember one night he had a bad cold and a sick headache. Mrs. Washington sent for me and invited me to stay all night so as to give him two hours the time he needed had prescribed. I had to wake him from his slumber every two hours to give him his medicine, but not a single time did he seem to exhibit any impatience or disgust with me because of the freckles on my visits. The reason for my senior year, when my Northern visions were expected, Tuskegee, Mr. Washington would invariably send for me and instruct me to practice the students with the school yells and the Chautauqua salutes. I always felt that I must have satisfied his matter of the school yells, otherwise he would not have repeatedly asked me to lead the students in giving them. During the past ten years it has been privilege to arrange for Mr. Washington'miny meetings in the North where he would speak in the interest of the students, frequently send me a telegram to meet him, and ker House in Boston or at the Biltmore Hotel in New York City. Then he would give me instructions in regard to the arranging of meetings in Boston or Brooklyn or some other point. Tim trips in the North he would be carrying some parcel or his traveling bags. When I would volunteer to carry these things for him, he would always de- close my invitation. He seemed 'never people to serve him; rather he wanted others, any seeming inconvenience. I recall but one exception: to this general rule of his. This was during what proved to be his last visit to Chicago, in September. The officers of Tuskegee realized that he was in a weakened physical condition, and so the officers gave him a tour of the campus, save him as long as possible. I carried his travelling bags, sent his telegrams, answered his 'phone calls, ordered his carriages, bought his newspapers, and even carried for him his light fall overcont. At first, he exhibited a good deal of anxiety at my seeming over-politeism in and of Friendship, and it is established that he must be spared the slightest inconvenience. After his speech before the National Negro Baptist Convention in Chicago, together with a half dozen policemen, I wound a lane for him to pass through to his waiting carriage. We had to do this in order to protect him from the hundreds of his friends who were shaking his hand. His strength was not equal to the physical effort involved. His death shortly after he delivered this speech in Chicago suggests that at the time of its delivery he seemed to realize that he was closing up his life's work and was making his last speech before this great national body of Negro Christians. He very earnest, whole-souled and vigorous manner in which he spoke on that occasion. I shook his hand and bade him goodbye Saturday afternoon, September 11, as he was leaving Chicago for, Montgomery, Ala. I seemed to realize that he was making his last long trip South and that Jim was now and I shall greatly miss him and his many instructions which he wont to give, to me in short, crisp sentences, but I shall always derive consolation from the fact that I shared his confidence and labored with him in all his struggles of all the people. I shall always cherish his memory as my great teacher and inspirer. NATIVE FILIPINOS ON B. T. WASHINGTON MANILA, Philippine Islands.—The two native Filipino dailies are La Vanguardia and La Ideal. Both these papers commented editorially, on the death of Roxanne Washington, their editorials better as follows: From EL Ideal. "There is hardly an educated person in this country who has not heard of this Negro reformer, who, more than the majority of the structure and fruitful service to the Negro race in the United States, Born a slave in the year 1859, when the disenfranchised Negro population under the protection of American law, he rose, by dint of perserverance and earnestness, to be the universally accepted emperor and the most far-facing guide. "The victory of Northern arms definitely freed the Negroes. But, unfortunately, we cannot create all the most delicate and tremendous problems which the American people have to face for generations to come. Launched into political equilibrium, the American people, though, socially, spurred all over the country, disfranchised in the South and in every way 'industrially' oppressed. T. Washington appeared and infused the hearts and minds of the Negro population. He preached, by his own example, the wholesome doctrine of self-salvation depended upon themselves. To enable his fellow-citizens to be of use to the country and to stand on the shoulders of the industrial competition, he founded the famous Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, which have come thousands of high-minded and competent Negro citizens. "At the same time that he created a strong sense of duty and responsibil- ity among the people, he made his voice heard among the white people, plentiful for a more decent and more just treatment of the blacks—not socially speaking, for under the white roofs, not a solitary and abused, in the interest of both races—but politically and industrially speaking. He told the white people that the solution to the Negro problem is to Negro a fair-choice to work out his own man- material and moral development, by recognizing the fact that he has in him, that he must be, the elements of betterment. "This great man, with such great life and great doctrines, has recently died. History will place him among the men who have rendered humanity an undying and imperishable service. No only his people, but every man who has given its right to live recognized, will remember him with love and gratitude." From Le Vanguardie. La Vanguardia writes the following obituary in the form of an editorial on Booker T. Washington: "Washington, the American soldier, or foreigner in general, have won the sympathy and admiration of the Filipinos during the last decade as the Negro writer and pedagogy. Booker Washington, who died in Tuskegee, Alabama." "Human egoism and imperfection have brought about, during the lapse of time, race prejudice. During the last century, and even in the present, the Negro has exercised tremendous influence in the minds of the most favored nations in such a way that 'the white race does not even think of the existence' of the Negro. In the case of the Philippines, Io and Togo of Japan, Li Hung Chang and Sun Yat Son of China, Rahindranathan, Tagore of India and Booker T. Washington of very land of liberty where slavery was abolished at the cost of so much blood. "The work, of this illustrious Negro, Up From Slavery, where he recounts his experiences, occupies a preferential place in the Filipino home library, and is a symbol to us of the dual effort, full of tome of the Negro lender, to raise himself up, through a victim of race prejudice. "Slavery does not consist in the mere subjugation of the individual or of the slave, but in the bad faith of an active or massive in- the African American community to achieve their goals of equality and love. And Booker, Washington triumphs in his efforts, sees his reforms for the upliftment of the Negro race fulfilled. Blessed be the memory of this great man, whose intellect was able to judge toward him and his people. Humanity, in spite of the fact that it is now in the period of enlightenment, is able to proclaim universal fraternity. The face more or less sunburn, more or less yellow, the nose more or less red, the face more or less have a great influence over mankind. When dawns in the skies the true aura of Humanity, when Equality, be the true concepts of our hearts, the name of that great Negro—who has just passed away—will figure in the same place occupied by the great name of practice good on earth. Then will they all be worthy to carry the glorious name of true man." From Manila, Philippines islands. To the Editor of TIG Ace: The colored Americans of Manila would like to tender their sympathy to the family of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington through your paper. All of the papers of the islands, both American and native, wrote editorially concerning his death, but the native press had a certain amount of eulogistic reference to his life that was lacking in the American press. 16 the Editor of THE AGE. I sincerely regret the death of your dear friend and leader of the Negro race, Dr. Booker T. Washington. The world mourns his loss. He was without doubt the greatest Negro that ever lived. I admired and loved him and I'm thankful that I had the pleasure of meeting him. I trust the great work begun will continue to the end of ARNOLD A. WATERMAN. Dr. Corbly's Eulogy. Huntington, W. Va.-At the memorial services held here in honor of the late Dr. L. J. Corbly, following eulogy was delivered by Dr. L. J. Corbly, former president of Marshall College, a native West Virginiaian. I come not to contribute exaggerated praise of him in whose memory we have remembered him but the different and solitary occasion:-but to lay a single rose on the newly made grave of one whose work has classed him, in my humble estimate, as the greatest constructive virtue of the early years of this century. Justice in one's estimate of one's self or of another is perchance the rarest of the great virtues. Appreciation, as the greatest constructive virtue. Praise, modest and sincere, during the life of a man or woman, is a tremendous inspiration to greater accomplishments. Praise, moderate and sincere, is Christian. But praise withheld till after death, is appreciation too tardy to be worthy the title of "appropriate" or "just." Envy and ambition, jealousy and solemnity so beclouded by the judgments of men in estimates of their fellow that justice is difficult. But the final test of greatness is not necessarily largeness of, but greatness of accomplishments, of great teachers, of great teachers chosen title in the catalogue of school men and women. To be a great teacher is to be large of mind and of sympathy, to be a teacher created to a great cause, a leader among one's fellows who inspires to greatness of thought by lofty thinking, to greatness of intellect by greatness of truly great man believes, in himself, believes in his fellows, believes in his cause and gives himself unsparingly to that cause. Judged by these standards, this Sahib Day was truly a hallow this Sahib Day was truly a great teacher. The color of race of these United States this man was the president gave his life to the service of ALL the people—to save this government and to vouchehate political freedom and equality to the black man, to set him among you and of your own blood, to set the Negro race economically free from the embarrassing situation in which his political freedom had left him. What is more appropriate, therefore, on this memorial occasion, than to honor the man who has honored to the great leader of the slixies, to the credit of the man who rose to advance the cause of freedom among another tremendous forward step; 'He held the ridge pole up and spiked again The rafters of the Home. He held his place. Held the long purpose like a growing tree. Hold on through blame and fat- tered not at praise. And when he fell he went down As when a kingly cedar green with boughs. Goes down with a great shout upon the hills. Are there a lonely place against the sky? The passing of Booker T. Washington from among us leaves a lonesome place in the heart of the colored race and a place of pride in the mind of every loyal American citizen, a lonesome place in the life of this nation.

THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILD AND ITS HEALTH. (By Victor H. Daniel—Assistant Comm agent, Trukkane Institute, Akron Mandant, Tukesegue institute, Ala.) Most of us, I believe, agree with Hirsch's emphasis on the preparation for life. By Life I think we mean an existence that is full of joy, alertness, virility and power. But now as we call to mind the anatomy of our bodies, we are dressed, flat-chested mass of children that are in our schools being educated for an existence that calls for brawn and muscle, and that will allow us to strong virile men and women. To best answer this question intelligently for ourselves, we ought to examine the curricula of our primary and secondary schools that the greatest opportunity lies for imparting such knowledge as will enable our boys and girls to develop into such men and women as the children. It is not within the 'scope of this paper to take up each subject in the curricula of our primary and secondary schools that the greatest value in the matter of improving and safeguarding the health of our boys and girls. I shall simply touch on the subject of hygiene and anatomy as it is in our primary and secondary schools. First, it appears to me that we usually child in the laws of hygienis and of practices which are equally important for the development of the child and the dormant period that follows. And taught some very fundamental principles of hygiene through schools and stores. Certainly the importance of cleanliness and its great value in safety of the child can be imparted to it from its admission to the first grade. Tech instead of waiting until the child enters the fifth or sixth grade and is ready to learn and anatomy, we can and should begin in a simple way to teach it about these necessary subjects from the kindergarten level. We can save the child from a great many malpractices that are responsible for a great many of the so-called children. Those of us who believe in the germ theory can clearly see how whipping cough, influenza and other children's diseases, can be prevented in the child who, through ignorance, chew from the same piece of gun, bite on the same piece of cake or blow bubbles with the same toothpaste. Many other unhystenic practices that may result in a loss of time from school, plus a great deal of worry for the parents and to offer in death itself. Second, it seems to me that the text books on the subject of hydiene and anatomy are too dry and uninteresting. They can be found in the number of students who annually refuse to take 'what when it is made elective, as is some other course'. Instead of an interesting detail of the construction and working of the body we usually find a long list of the bones and muscles. We also find a subject head and unfamiliar to the child. By the time the child learns to spell and pronounce the names of the bones it is more interested in, we find it difficult to continue it. So it seems to me that the very books that are intended to spread the knowledge of hydiene and anatomy are doing more to make it unattractive than presenting the subject in a prosaic form. If our text books on hygiene and anatomy were so written that there were a larger amount of up-to-date hygienic information, coupled with a more detailed account, think the subject would appeal to the child much more so than is being done through the present form, of text books. I was touched upon the curriculum in so far as it is responsible for the child's intelligence regarding its health. I shall now look into the school room and see what part the building plays in developing: the child into a robust individual. The building has been given by the architects and others responsible for the designing and erecting of school buildings as to the part the building plays in the development of the student. The question of profit and cost seemed to have played the greater part in the building of our school house, rather than in their noble purpose (the housing of the men and women In too many school buildings the lighting, either by day or night, is as bad as can be, and is responsible directly and indirectly for the defective vision of a good many, children. It would be better to have the architect has been ignorant in the matter of designing the building, but the teachers in charge of the building have been fully as ignorant or criminally negligent in the matter of controlling and using the lighting, even if it is both of artificial and sunlight. and seen the children trying to get some work from a blackboard whose surface was in bad condition. This is not a bad idea, but you should still worse by the direct rays of the sun falling into the eyes of the children. It was painfully pathetic to have to get the information from the board, some had books to shade their eyes, others were using the bodies of those children to shade their eyes and still worse, too-many had their little bodies warped in all manner of angles so as to avoid the direct, rays of the sun. You would have to believe that such conditions exist at all. To you, doubling friend, I would suggest that you try to find out what many of the shades or with an provided direct system of illumination. I would again ask you, to make frequent visits to the library to listen for the following regarding the use of light and care of the eyes. Students, remember that your eyesight is worth more to you than any information you get from the our curt books, therefore, you are cautions. 1. Not to strain your eyes trying to get the work from the board or from the poorly printed pages of your text of book. 2. Be sure, always, that you have plenty of light when reading or preying your lesson. 3. That you do not allow direct rays of light on your eyes and that you avoid the angles of reflection. 4. That you avoid stooping over your book. 5. That you hold your book up below your eyes, at least not nearer than twelve or thirteen inches or more than eighteen to twenty inches from you. D. 6. That you always sit up when you read or write. 7. That light should always fall on your left shoulder. 8. That the moment your eyes begin to hurt you or your head aches that you can feel, you must go in the great of doors to rest them upon the beautiful ties of nature—be it sky, river, lake, ocean or mountain. In twenty per cent of the schools in this practical land of ours will you hear such instruction given. For the concern with the quids' health. They are interested in making an adult out of him so fast that there is very time or thought given to his health. Unfortunately what is true of the lighting of our school buildings is also true of their heating, ventilating and cooling. The little thought has been given by those responsible for the designing and erecting of the school buildings to these questions, tendering the building to the architect, building it and leaving it to the teachers or janitor to regulate its heating, ventilating and cleaning. How well they are doing this can be measured by the school during the winter months. If you are thoughtful enough to take a pocket thermometer along with you it will help very quickly show how well the building enters our schools in the autumn full of life and vim only to come out in the spring, anemic, dull and almost lifeless.

If we did, we would see that when they entered our school buildings we found them well lighted, heated, ventilated and free from dust laden germs. I wonder how many of us ever thought of having a vacuum cleaner in college buildings in our vivietytnt of college buildings in our dorms and homes. It is but it perfect natural for the janitor to use an ordinary broom and duster so that the greatest amount of dust can be removed. I have the pleasure of filling its lungs with the dust-laden air that has been left behind for him by the janitor. I have also been with brooms and dusters rather than some modern contrivance to remove the germ-laden dust from the school room. It is somewhat painful for me to put down my thoughts and experiences of and about our school buildings. But it is like a surgeon who must remove an offending member from the human organism; the sooner it is done, the In too many schools the question of seating the children has been very unsatisfactorily arranged. Not infrequently with a chair fitted up with desks, benches or chairs of uniform height. Yet we know that the children that are going to use them are not all of the same height or age. The uniformity of the seating apparatus is not always the effect upon linky Arthur who must cramped up from half an hour to two or three hours is far from pleasing to those of us who are interested in it. In the case of a child sometimes must sit with her little legs hanging down about six inches from the floor. I wanted to say with her little legs dangling, but when I recalled that little normal healthy child must "sit still" I had to change my mind. What is true of the seating in some of our schools is also true of the desks. The desks are either too close to the windows or too far from some children and too high for others. This state of affairs is responsible for many cases of consumption among school children, as their cheats beetle is natural position from their natural position their lungs are thereby affected. Quite a few cases of curvature of the spine started because of the great distance that exists between them and the school buildings. I hate to say it—school buildings. Of course, some of the things I write about our school buildings are the ones that exist and as long as they exist, let all of us, who are interested in the welfare of the nation and the child, do our best to change the environmental conditions that are crippling our greatest national asset—the child.

Their entry is made into this world without a blaze of trumpets and void of display. Such births of men and things seldom provoke a ripple of excitement other than in the immediate neighborhood. It is later on that their useful- ```markdown ``` CHAS. H. GILPIN ness and influence become generally known and spread to other parts of the land as time rolls on. The Anita Bush Stock Company, now playing at the Lafayette Theatre, came into being under similar circumstances, and if it is making a heroic effort worthy of all the patronage and commendation it receives. And while the stock company may not reach the pinnacle of greatness it will not soon be forgotten as having introduced to New York an IDEA which is bound to take root, spread and redound to the great good of the Negro on the stage. A little over a month ago the Anita Bush Stock Company first saw the light of day at one of Harlem's smaller vaudeville houses, and just as are all ambitious ventures, was scoffed at by the "know-alls." However, the public appreciated the aspirations and efforts of Miss Bush and her associates and gave unmistakable evidence of its appreciation. Desiring a broader field in which to exhibit their dramatic prowess arrangements were made to play the company at the Lafayette Theatre, and as the attendance at the Lafayette has been large all week, it goes without saying that the step taken was a wise one. The question of playing dramatic sketches, presented by colored actors, has been frequently suggested to the Lafayette management, but usually the suggestions were made together with promises which never materialized, but due to no fault of the management-There are many who are rich in ability to paint beautiful word pictures, but when it comes to putting their ideas into practical execution they find themselves in a helpless state. White sketches, some good, others not so 1 good, have been booked at the Lafayette Theatre weekly, and the majority have been most pleasing to the patrons. There is no reason why colored actors should not appear in sketches at the Lafayette Theatre and other representative colored houses throughout the country, if, of course, their, artistic endowments are similar to the Anita Bush Stock Company. "Over the Foollights," by John R. Price, is the playlet presented by the 大 company this week. It is a domestic comedy-drama telling of the temporary infatuation of a young man of newly acquired wealth for a young beauty of the footlights, despite his already matrimonial entanglements, consisting of a wife and children. The role of Naomi Darling is played by Anita Bush, who has agreeably surprised her many friends and admirers by blossoming into an actress of promise. The feature of Miss Bush's dramatic work is her enunciation, which is a valuable asset and is sure to serve her in good stead. To play an emotional role, and at the same time not to overdue it as to traverse the fields of comedy, requires great acting and Carlotta Freeman, as Nellie Drayton, the young wife, succeeds in doing this. Whether Miss Freeman previously appeared in dramatic sketches before coming to New York I know not, but either past ex- CARLOTTA THE WEEKLY NEWS CARLOTTA FREEMAN perience or unusual aptitude has fitted her for the parts she essays to portray. Long ago in these columns Charles H. Gilpin was referred to as one of the best character actors of color in this country or any other country, and he is the finished artist of the Bush organization. He has had a lot of experience in the acting field and in voice, gesture and expression he gives proof of his previous schooling. As Sol Babmerger, Mr. Gilpin does a very pleasing bit. There is not a more popular young man in Harlem than Andrew Bishop, whose dramatic activities were begun about two years ago, and whose theatrical-career since that time has been something like that of Finnegan, the engineer, "On again; off again." Now he is on again and is appearing to better advantage than ever before. Should Mr. Bishop take the stage seriously and conclude to make it his life's work he could easily do so. He has everything in his favor, even to joining the ranks of those who to-day are "passing" and enjoying big reputations; that is, if his field of dramatic endeavor was limited. In the part of Ned Drayton, Andrew Bishop favorably impresses in a difficult role, handling himself nicely. There are some performers who find themselves much better actors when they submerge their identity, and Dooley Wilson seems to belong to that category. As Ajax Jackson he works under cork, and the best comedy of the sketch is provided by him. No one can deny the versatility of Dooley Wilson, who formerly made good as a singer and now is succeeding as a speaker of lines. I do not wish to convey the impression that you will see acting of the E. H. Sothern-Julia Marlowe brand when you visit the Lafayette, but you will see a meritorious effort—a big effort—being made to raise the standard THE FILM OF "THE WOMAN WHO WAS NOT A WOMAN" BY JOHN HENRY HARRISON of the colored theatrical profession; an endeavor to prove that the Negro can do other than sing and dance—an endeavor that warrants the hearty support and co-operation of all members of the race. Next week: the stock company will appear in a Western sketch entitled "The Gambler's Sweetheart." The other acts on-the bill the first half were the Mme. Fairfax Trio, in which, Mme. Fairfax, Rose Fox and Willie Stafford, who entertained in singing and dancing; Barton & Carroll, Wilson & Wilson and the Two Musical Girls. The photo-play, "The Porter," produced by the Smart Set Film Company, with S. H. Dudley in the title role, was not shown by the management as advertised, as the film was lost by the express people somewhere between Washington, and New York, and had not been located Wednesday morning. The film will be put on this week as soon as found. 6 "DOOLEY" WILSON THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. S. H. Dudley & Co. are at the Pantages' Theatre, Portland, Ore. Rucker & Winnifred are at the Pantages' Theatre, Calgary, Canada. The Smart Set Co., with Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, in George Washington Bullion Abroad, is at the Grand Theatre, Chicago. Sid Perrin and Goldie Crosby are heading an act of twelve people; called the Perrin & Crosby Chocolate Bon Bons. The Real Quartet is at the Davis Theatre, Pittsburgh. The quartet is booked over the Keith time. The Russell-Owens Co. is at the Booker Washington Theatre, St. Louis. Thomas A. Brookes, with Watson-Wrothe Co. is at the Orpheum Theatre, Paterson, N. J. The Perrin & Crosby Chocolate Bon Bons Company is at the New Monogram Theatre at Chicago this week. The company includes Sid Perrin, Goldie Crosby, "Little" Jeff, Howard Andrews, John Wesley, Loretta Augustine, Dixie Beasley and Beatrice White. The Smith-Bright Players are the Monogram Theatre at Chicago this week. Andrew Bishop is not the only member of the association, which has headquarters at 2283 Seventh avenue, to be winning favor as an actor. "Bennie" Wright, another prominent member of the organization, has become a full-fledged thesplan, being a member of the cast of the new musical show, "Very Good Eddy," which is playing at the Princess Theatre. Mr. Wright plays the part of a steward. The author of the piece had originally written a part for the colored steward who was to say a few "yes, sahs," and "no, sahs," but the ability displayed by "Bennie" Wright in saying lines caused a change in plans and F. Ray Comstock and Miss Elizabeth Marbury, producers of the piece, sa wto it that the young colored actor was given more to do, minus a lot of "niggerism." Incorporators Lose in Washington. The basketball world received one of the surprises of the season when the news was flashed throughout basketball circles that the champion and famous Incorporators went down the court of the basketball capital-Hiwasathas in Washington, D.C. on Christmas eve, December 24. Although the Cardinals played with every ounce of strength they possessed, still the champions managed to keep in the lead practically all of the game. At the beginning of the game it was nearly fifteen minutes before either side scored. Then the Incorporators broke the ice and the score jumped to 4 to 0 in favor of the New York boys. The game was very hard and played at almost heartbreaking speed. It might also be mentioned that the game was very rough which marred much of that fine exhibition of scientific play that clea nbasketball always shows when high class teams meet. Of course the game is a game of this kind, the officials handling the game must be of the highest basketball standing whose ability and thoroughness and competency must be absolutely unquestioned. The game was very close, the final score being 21 to 18 in the Cardinals' favor. When the game was over the Incorporators were so genuinely surprised at their defeat that they could hardly realize it. Over-confidence and "cocksureness" undoubtedly played a part in the champions losing the game and I say this without taking any credit away from the Cardinals' victory. The Washington boys were out to win and they played for all they were worth. Walter Cooper played his game from whistle to whistle and although he could have done a little more passing his other work was so fine that he amply made up for it. It is seldom that Cooper has jumped as he did in this game. He out-jumped the Cardinal center every single time and they had to change centers on him, but this made no difference as he continued to get the tap-off; but the wyte the Cardinal guards beat the Incorporators to the tap-off was remarkable. The Incorporators guarding was superb but their forwards were far below their regular standard of speed and accuracy. The "set-ups" that were missed were actually pitiful. Cooper also did - commendable work shooting from the foul line. Henderson and his team have gained considerable prestige and fame by their defeat of a team that was considered undesirable, so when the Cardinal Hewlett came to New York on March 2, 1916, to meet the champions in the return game it will without a doubt be the classic of the season. Special delegations will come from Washington to witness this game because the outcome of it will have a good deal to do, with the re-establishing of Washington as a factor in New York basketball. BASKETBALL. BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN. Address all communications direct to 269 West 4th street, New York City, and have matter in our hands not later than Monday night of each week. We repeat that the "Incorporators" are the recognized champions of 1914-15, and by their defeat of so many teams representing so many different cities or centers throughout the country, are also world champions of colored basketball. As always, the "Incorporators" stand on their unequaled record and if there is any colored basketball team nationally or, in fact, any the world, for that matter, interprets this claim, then that team knows what to do. Idle talk and unqualities will never settle the issue. The "Incorporators" stand ready to defend their championship against any team on the face of the earth, and are particularly anxious to meet St. Christopher of St. Philips Parish. There is no yellow paint on the "Incorporated" machine. Its colors are red and black and non-fading. The Carlisle Indians are husky-looking fellows and if they take to basketball, like they do to football then they ought to put up a good game on New Years. The St. Augustine Five were in unusually good form when they defeated the K. Five of Bloomfield, at Christ Church Parish Hall, Elizabeth, N. J. Arthur Vandervere, St. Augustine's young centre, certainly deserves mention for the way he played, making eight of the sixteen points. Jimmie Thorn, the lightning guard, played equally as well, making two baskets and one foul. The Bloomfield lads played well, too, particularly in the second half, for at the end of the first half the score was 14 to 3 in favor of St. Augustine. They seemed to gather up a fresh supply of strength for the second half, and made seven points, while St. Augustine made but two, making the final score 16 to 10. The line-up for St. Augustine: Louis Taylor, l.f.; Bill Bill Holmes, f.f.; Arthur Vandervere, c.; Clifford Vandervere, l.g.; Jimmie Thorn, f. The Carlton Y. M. C. A. teams continue to sail along on an even keel, winning games with ease and smoothness. However, the juniors had a close call when they nosed out the "Speed Boys" at the St. Cyprian Gym in an extra period, 31 to 28. The game was nip and tuck all the way, first one team, then the other would take the lead, with the score tied many times. Time up found the count 27 each, and five minutes more was taken to decide the winner. The Y. M. C. A. boys came through the extra period with a three point lead. The Seniors met the Clarex A. C. (white) in Williamsburg, and had little trouble defeating the home team by a score of 29 to 10. The white boys played the Brooklyn Champs close in the early part of the game, the score at the end of the first half being 11 to 7 in their favor. In the second half the Carltons picked up speed and went away to a big lead. Shannon, who is coming stronger in every game, scored 21 of the Carlton's points with 8 field and 5 fouls. Everything in the Carlton Y. M. C. A. camp is hustling with preparations for their game with the Alpha "Moguls" on January 13 at Labor Lyceum. Both teams are well known to all followers of the game, and with the exception of the St. Christopher Tigers, are probably the best teams of their weight in the east. Alpha thinks she can halt the Carltonts winning streak, but they will have to step lively, as the Brooklyn champs have a team that is playing in whirlwind style this season, and it will take a real team to stop them. The Crestes, of Altantic City, defeated the Philadelphia A. C. on Friday, December 17, at Fitzgerald's Auditorium by the score of 33 to 12. The victors played to form and had little difficulty in winning from their heavier opponents. The lineup: CRESCENTS PHILA. A. C. Dorsed F. Simons Matthews, Brown F. Smith Norwood C.

Timers—Brown and Plorce. Scorers—Greenberg and Shaw. The girls' basketball teams around New York seem to have dropped out of the game, as we do not hear as much about them as we used to. However, the St. Cyprian girls' team are still making good. They are considered one of the best teams in New York City and claim to have a record of not being defeated in three consecutive seasons.

Owing to the heavy snowstorm and the rain, the Tuxedo lightweights, of East Orange, N.

The game has probably been postponed until February 4, 1916, and a return game will be played in Orange March 10, 1916.

On Thursday night, December 30, the "Incorporators" will again go on one of their road trips, when they face the Vandal A. C. in Atlantic City, N. J. As usual, as large crowd will go with the team. The "Incorporators" will continue to play away from home until they make their appearance at their next big game at Manhattan Casino, where they face the Delaney Rifles of Pittsburgh, Pa., on Friday night, January 14, 1916. Great preparations are being made for this night. At Princeton, N. J., the Princeton Y. M. C. A. won its first game of basketball of the season when the Trenton A. C. team was defeated, Tuesday, December 21, by the score of 26 to 14. Captain Nelson and his men are in fine shape and a most successful season is promised. The Carlton Jrs., added another victory of their list by defeating the Combination Five (white) by the score of 29-7. Basketball rules are complex anyway, but more so this year, and this fact in itself makes it most imperative than when a referee is chosen for a game his ability should be an established factor. It is a joke to see a man out on the court trying to referee a game and showing by many of his decisions that he does not know his business. It is amusing when we think of the almost other helplessness of some of the officials. The Oriental A. C. of New Rochlelle defeated the Yonkers Tigers, who in turn defeated the Ossining Five. The Orientals are in line for the county championship this season and would like to book games with other teams. Address J. Thomas, manager, 63 Horton avenue, New Rochlelle, N. Y. I wasn't in New York in order to cover the Alpha-Lincoln game, but the result is as I said it would be, only I did expect a better showing from Lincoln.

PHILADELPHIA, PA PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—So elaborate were the services in the Negro churches on Sunday in honor of the nativity, that the feast day might be said to have had a second celebration, equal, if not superior to the festivities of Christmas Day. The center program of the feast was in nativity care, where a number of churches the holiday was specially observed instead of on the previous day. Ivers service had the ring and joy of Christmas tide running through it, without the holiday feature of the feast proper. The services were especially imposing in the two Negro Catholic and the eight Negro Episcopal churches. The majority of Sunday Schools celebrated the feast in the afternoon and in some instances had the annual festival for poor Negro children. Mrs Charles Cook, of Washington, D. C., is in the city attending the Jones Robinson wedding. APARTMENTS 2232 Fifth Avenue, 5 rooms. Rents, $171 West 133rd Street, 5 rooms and $435 West 35th Street, 4 rooms.

This culture showed itself to their first discoverer through such sculptures and articles of furniture and ceremony as are now in the American Museum of Natural History. Like all African tribes, they were very musical, and their instruments include gongs and bells of varied forms as well as stringed instruments and some that resemble our zylophones, so far as the sounds they produce are concerned. Some of these "gongs" are made of the soft-toned redwood with handles carved in semblance of native types and with broad, flat bells, in which are always two carved clappers. Others are long, wooden, tent-shaped structures, which are beaten with hammers. Still other instruments are made in the form of a man with the trunk of the body flattened and hollowed out and with what would be the chest fitted with eight "notes" in the form of thin pieces of wood that are plucked up and let fall on the hollowed surface to produce the desired sounds. Earrings on Sculpture. There are other and cruder pieces of sculpture used as boxes for small objects by the natives with a head and legs of some light colored wood dotted with brown spots, the trunk being fashioned into a circular box covered with bark. Some of the crudest of these wooden figures have earrings of common yellow glass beads strung on wire in their ears, the only suggestion of intercourse with white men among all these things. Herbert Lang and James P. Chapin, who headed this expedition, also brought back with them specimens of the carved stools made and used by the Manggettu people. The native beds in the collection are much the same as those made for the earl Euphemus, similar to those which appear in their tomb butts. Notion is known, as yet, of the connection between the ancient Egyptians and these tribes in the heart of Africa, and no one knows whether they took their musical instruments, beds and other things from the dwellers along the Nile or whether the reverse was the case. The two explorers from the museum discovered that the finish on the sculptures is put there by patient rubbing down with the leaves of a native plant that has some acid in it, which gives practically an ivory finish when used on any hard surface.

To the Editor of The New Being associated with the Rev. Chas Ackworth more than thirty years and being a member with him of the Virginal Church over $5 years ago, though very much afflicted I deemed it my duty to be present at his funeral. One of my friends and a friend of the Church, by some to be of little importance I concluded that there would not be a large number of people in my opinion as there was not 100 persons present at the funeral of one of the greatest and humblest preachers of our time. Beth church should have been crowded. Before becoming a member of Pittsburgh Conference, A. M E Church, I served as pastor and preaching elder of the church, and felt it to be my duty I contend his funeral. I regret that I witnessed what I did. I admit that the members of the interdenominational Treasurer Meeting, the dean of the New York Clergy, Dr. Culien and others, Rector Cilton of the Episcopal Church, Chaplain Anderson, the only known ministerial adviser of the New York Clergy were present and many other ministers. The chapinil delivered an earnest testimony, touching upon the faithful work of the degened Dr. Rankin, missionary secretary of A. M. E. Church, was present and more testimony to the untiring work of the degened Dr. Rankin, worth in his work with inmates behind the prison bars. The members of the New York Conference, of which he was formerly present in large numbers, were present. The relatives were present. Presiding Elder Cooper said that they could not be located hence there was not anyone to all in his charge. Cooper stated that Dr. Arnett was indisposed, though I learned that he had recovered sufficiently from his recent illness, and present at his service on Sunday night. The shameful thing about his funeral allowed his remains to be conveyed to the cemetery within, one alba conch, the the hearse and the undertaker. Such FOR THE COLORED RACE.

I was informed that an undertaker was ordered to bury him an cheap falg, learned through Mr. Thomas, who was a member of the cemetery. I have a casket at coffin rates and would get his money when conference convened. It may be thought that the matter is too much of that kind of business going on now. Had he been what some term a big-gun preacher, such treatment would be too much of that kind of business going on. The rank of the Interdenominational Preachers. Meeting, for they were only waiting for the command from Bethel and not for the regard of the expense. We have four one of our cleanest and most upright preachers. Peace to his ashes. Rest for J.
