NO.22 10TH MEETING OF EDUCATORS TIDEWATER TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION MEETING WAS BOTH INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE Progress Of Norfolk Schools Reviewed In Address By Superintendent Dobie —Splendid Pedagogical Papers And Addresses —Improved Methods Demonstrated By Teachers. The Tidewater Teachers' Association held its tenth annual meeting in the Bank Street Baptist Church, Thursday, February 22nd, and was pronounced the most interesting and instructive meeting yet held by the association. The morning session was opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. W. H. Willis, principal of the Brighton School, Norfolk county. The first address on the program was by Mrs. Harris Barrett, superintendent of the Home for Wayward Girls, at Peake, Virginia. The president of the Association, Prof. D. G. Jacox, then presented to the audience Superintendent of Public Schools, R. A. Dobie, who gave a very inspiring talk concerning the improvements and increase in colored schools in Norfolk during the last ten years. He greatly encouraged the Norfolk teachers by complimenting the work they are doing in the schools. He assured them that he will use his voice always in behalf of the interests of the colored citizens, and urged the teachers to use their own influence in bringing about necessary changes and improvements. The welcome address was then delivered by Miss Mildred Dudley, in which she extended to the visiting teachers a hearty welcome to the hospitality of the Norfolk Teachers' Institute. Prof. J. S. Lee, principal of the John Marshall School, Newport News, in fitting terms of appreciation responded to this hearty welcome. Then followed a round table talk on "The Relation of the Preacher and the Tencher," conducted by Rev. O. C. Jones, pastor of the Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, Portsmouth, and Prof. J. R. Dungee, principle of the Abraham Lincoln School, Norfolk. This was a very interesting discussion of the need of more co-operation and unity of purpose between the preacher and the teacher, and the necessity of their furnishing a worthy example for the children. The president next introduced Miss Agnes Randolph, who represented the Anti-Tuberculosis Society of this State. She gave a most interesting and instructive talk, and asked for the co-operation of the teachers in pre- Continued on Page 8. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Feb. 21.—In the first call for the National Negro Health Week which is to be observed April 21 to 27, 1917, reference was made to the co-operation of the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau, Kinloch Building, St. Louis, Missouri. In addition to their offer to send literature to any community where Health Week Campaigns may be observed they have now offered three prizes cups for the best clean up effort among the Negro people. In a letter to Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the National Negro Business League, Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the Clean Up and Paint Up Bureau, says concerning the prizes: However, we have decided among one thing that I hope will interest and please you, viz., to offer you three Silver Cups, suitable for First, Second and Third Prizes to the three communities or local Negro Committees, or chairmen of local campaigns among your people, that submit the best report of the best work, done in a "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign that has for its "Opening Week," your own "Health Week"—such report or campaign contest to be conducted under your auspices, and your published conditions of contest, and the prizes to be awarded by judges named by you or your Executive Committee that has your Health Week campaign in charge." The conditions of the contest together with names of the judges will be published later. Local committees and campaign chairmen desiring to enter their communities for these cups should make known their intentions to Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. He will also be very glad to send detailed plans and suggestions for conducting Health Week Campaigns. WINTON NOTES. Winton, N.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, MARCH 3, 1917 FACTORY GIRLS RESENT ABUSE DECLARE STRIKE WHEN "BOSS" ASSAULTED ONE OF THEIR NUMBER IN KNITTING MILL. Superintendent Discharged Offending Foreman And Girls Returned To Work With No Loss Of Time—Mill Owned By White People Of Rocky Mount. (By O. R. Pope.) Rocky Mount, N. C.—Declaring that they would not work under the manager, every one of the female colored operatives at the knitting mill here left their work at eleven o'clock last Thursday morning. The trouble arose when the white floor manager cursed one of the girls and attempted to otherwise abuse her. When the superintendent learned of the trouble later in the day he immediately began to visit the homes of the operatives asking them to return to work. The offending white manager was discharged and the girls returned to their work with no loss of time. This mill is owned and managed entirely by white people. They employ colored girls from some of the best families in the city. They have made good and the management has expressed its determination to see that they are treated with respect. The membership campaign in progress at the Mt. Zion Baptist Sunday School is having the effect of bringing into the Sunday School a large crowd of young men. The Invincible Concert Company consisting of five artists, two of whom are known as the blind wonders to whom all instruments are alike, will appear at Lincoln School, Monday, March 5th. An event of unusual importance is the coming to the city of Mrs. M. B. Talbert of Washington. D. C., who will lecture at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Thursday night, March 7. Mrs. Talbert comes under the auspices of the Woman's Federation. She is a speaker of unusual ability. The Rev. P. O. Jones, pastor of the A. M. E.

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE BULLETIN Elaborate Preparations Are Being Made For The Publication Of The April Number. The Committee in charge of the publication of the Virginia State Negro Business League Bulletin, which is being issued twice a year under the auspices of The Virginia State Negro Business League, in magazine form, announces that the second publication of the Bulletin, will be issued about the first of April. The first edition of the Bulletin, last October, was quite a success. Press and public were loud in their praise of the edition, which contained the minutes of the league meeting in Norfolk and other interesting features bearing upon Negro business development throughout the state and country. It was a thirty-two page magazine, well illustrated and nicely printed with cover pages in colors. The committee announces that the April edition of the magazine will be more elaborate and comprehensive in detail than the October number. Among those who will contribute articles for this number are Messrs. Emmett J. Scott, secretary National Negro Business League; C. C. Spaulding, vice-president and general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association; W. H. Crocker, president of the State League, and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, Richmond. There will be numerous other contributors who will deal with every phase of Negro business development making the magazine a valuable hand book for the business man or woman. There will also be a section devoted to subjects of interest to Negro farmers. On account of the increased demand for copies, at least three thousand will be printed for distribution. All copies of the magazine are free to business people as long as they last. Those desiring copies will do well to apply in advance for them to any member of the publication committee. It is understood from the chairman of the committee that numerous requests are already coming in for copies and advertising space. The committee in charge of the publication is composed of H. C. Young, 711 Highland Avenue, Norfolk; George W. Blount, Southern Aid Society, Green Street, Portsmouth; F. E. Puryear, 1063 Church Street, Norfolk;; R. E. Saunders, V. N. & I. Institute, Petersburg. HOW FARMERS CO-OPERATE HOW FARMERS CO-OPERATE BETTER FARMING METHODS DISCUSSED AND ADOPTED AT BRICK SCHOOL, CONFERENCE Farmers Of Four Counties Join In Movement To Reduce Cost Of Living On The Farm And Raise Better Crops For The Market. (By A. M. Vann.) Rocky Mount, N. C.-The farmers from Nash, Pitt, Halifax and Edgecomb Counties turned out in large numbers at the Brick School, on February 22, to hear and discuss methods and plans how to be more thorough on farming and how to reduce the high cost of living. Many prominent speakers were present. The principle speakers for the occasion were: Dr. A. S. Harrison of Enfield and Prof. John D. Wray of Greensboro, N. C. Prof. Wray explained how the farmers had added much to the high cost of living and showed how it could be easily reduced. He said there was no excuse for a farmer having to buy so many of the necessities of life since he could raise nearly every thing needed for the home and table and have some to spare. He showed how they could help to fertilize their farms by planting among their money crops things which may be useful for their stock and poultry, which will enable them to easily raise their meat at 2½ cents per pound, while they are now paying 25 cents. Their eggs, butter, flour, and stock may also be raised on the same small percentage. If every farmer would do this, there would be no excuse for complaining about the high cost of living. The great trouble among farmers of today is, they are raising their big money crops at the expense of the food crops. Many took active part and told their experience, relating how they use to farm and giving their present methods. Dr. Harrison of Enfield (white) brought a plain and helpful message on how to live a long time since health and business goes hand and hand. He said no person can work without health and that the colored people are dying faster than any other race. He also made a talk on education which was quite interesting. Mrs. Annie B. Holland, who has charge of the State work of domestic science was also an interesting speaker. Among the domestic teachers were Miss Esther Bryan of Edgecomb; Miss Willie Nicholas of Halifax; Miss Lucy (Continued on page eight) FLORIDA MAN LEAVES ESTATE TO COLORED NURSE Mrs. Sarah P.

Were it true colds would be as prevalent in midsummer as in midwinter. The mibrobe that causes colds flourishes in damp, cold weather. To get rid of a cold take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is effectual and is highly recommended by people who have used it for many years as occasion required, and know its real value. For sale by all drussels. 15000 Mothers Die In U. S. From Preventable Causes ADVOCATES. COLORED MEN FOR MILITARY SERVICE BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR FAYETTEVILLE BRIGHT Colored Citizens Keeping Step With Progress—Noted Educator Passed Away. Fayetteville, N. C.—It appears to be the consensus of opinion hereabouts that the canalization of the Cape Fear River will mean much to this city in particular and this section generally. The project will be completed in a very short time. It is very refreshing to note that our people are apparently endeavoring to keep step with the onward march of progress, as is indicated by renewed activity in several lines of endeavor. Dr. B. H. Henderson and N. H. Styrun have recently purchased automobiles, the former indulging in an "Overland" touring car while the latter is sporting a "Ford" runabout. Mr. J. C. Henderson, one of our popular mail carriers, and his brother, Dr. A. J. Henderson, have recently purchased a "Buck" six. Those of us who knew and loved the late Prof. David P. Allen of Lumberton, N. C., were pained and saddened to learn of his passing into the Great Beyond on February the 15th inst. Prof. Allen was born and educated in the North, but came South and settled at Lumberton many years ago, where he established Whitin Normal School, an institution which has accomplished incalculable results in pre- Continued on page eight More women 15 to 45 years of age die in the United States from conditions incident to maternity than from any other cause except tuberculosis. And since 1900, while the death rates from tuberculosis, typhoid, diphtheria and croup, and certain other preventable diseases have been greatly reduced, the available figures for the death-registration area show no decrease in the proportion of mothers whose lives are sacrificed yearly to ignorance and improper care in childbirth. These facts and their causes, with a detailed study of maternal death rates in the United States and foreign countries, are set forth in a bulletin on Maternal Mortality by Dr. Grace L. Heigs, which has just been issued by the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor. Dr. Meigs emphasizes the inseparable connection between the life and health of the mother and the life and health of her baby. She points out that the 15,000 maternal deaths which occur annually in the United States are largely preventable; that these 15,000 deaths are merely a rough index of unmeasured preventable illness among mothers; and that the protection of mothers is essential to the saving of babies' lives. How can the protection of mothers be accomplished? Two underlying causes are assigned for the present conditions: First. The hazards have been either ignored or accepted as unavoidable. "Knowledge of the need for good care at childbirth is essential: the lack of such knowledge and of a demand for this care has been, probably, the chief factor in producing the present indifference to this phase of preventive medicine. Communities are still to a great extent indifferent to or ignorant of the number of lives of women lost yearly from childbirth." "The second fundamental cause—the difficulty of obtaining adequate care—is seen to depend to a large extent on the first. As women, their husbands, physicians, and communities realize the absolute need of skilled care, methods for providing it will be developed." The city problem and the rural problem are both discussed. Even in a city well supplied with clinics and hospitals the number of women served by them is small in comparison with the number who bear If you believe in The Journal and Guide Patronize those who use its advertising columns. PRICE FIVE CENTS URGES MILITARY TRAINING CAMP DR. SPINGARN SUGGESTS CAMP FOR COLORED MEN MODELED AFTER PLATTSBURG. New Yorker Declares In Open Letter That Colored Men Should Qualify For Military Leadership—Two Hundred Men Wanted At Once. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the executive board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has given to the press an open letter, which he is sending to the educated colored men of America urging them to join him in a movement to secure a national military training camp for colored men. Dr. Spingarn's letter follows: MILITARY TRAINING CAMP FOR COLORED MEN. An Open Letter From Dr. J. E. Spingarn. New York, Feb. 15, 1917. To the Educated Colored Men of the United States: It is of the highest importance that the educated colored men of this country should be given opportunities for leadership. You must cease to remain in the background in every field of national activity, and must come forward to assume your right places as leaders of American life. All of you cannot be leaders, but those of you who have the capacity for leadership must be given an opportunity to test and display it. There is now just such an opportunity possible for you, in case of war, to become leaders and officers, instead of followers and privates. Major General Leonard Wood, of the U. S. Army, commanding the Department of the East, has promised that if two hundred of you apply for admission, he will organize and maintain a military training camp for colored men, with just the sort of training to fit you to serve as officers of volunteers in case of war. I do not believe that colored men should be separated from other Americans in any field of life; but the crisis is too near at hand to discuss principles and opinions, and it seems to me that there is only one thing for you to do at this juncture, and that is to get the training that will fit you to be officers, however and wherever this training may be obtained. If two hundred of you do not send applications immediately, the opportunity may be lost forever. The camp will be conducted on exactly the same principles as the mill- Continued on page eight Die In U. S. inventable Causes their children without receiving adequate care. Certain sections of the population depend on ignorant midwives. But the reader is reminded that women of moderate means who can not pay large fees and who will not visit a clinic sometimes receive the least benefit from improvements in standards of care. "In rural districts many women bear their children with no attendant other than the husband, a relative, or a neighbor. The nearest physician may be miles away, the nearest hospital much farther." Dr. Meigs refers to the work for maternal and child welfare which has been developed in New Zealand and in Canada, and suggests a "unit plan" for a rural county in this country to include: An accessible county center to which mothers could come for information about personal hygiene. A cottage hospital, or beds in an accessible general hospital, especially for the proper care of abnormal cases. Skilled attendance obtainable by each mother in the county. VIRGINIA BONE DRY AFTER JULY 1 VIRGINIA BONE DRY AFTER JULY 1 Congress adopted on February 21st the Reed amendment to the postal bill designed to make "bone dry" states which have state prohibition laws. This action places Virginia in the "bone dry" column after July 1st, next, the limited amount of liquor which may be imported being forbidden. The law reads as follows: "Whoever shall order, purchase or cause intoxicating liquors to be transported in interstate commerce, except for scientific, sacramental medicinal, or mechanical purposes, into any state or territory the laws of which State or Territory prohibit the manufacture or sale therein of intoxicating liquors for borage purposes, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both, and for any subsequent offense shall be imprisoned not more than one year." \ PAGE TWO rr ee Chicago.—Ollvet Buptist church boasts of baving ono of the most ag- ‘gtessive upd progressive Baptist min- isters fn the convtry.

At oue time It seem ed as though the Lincuinites wGre te be the victors, but after J. Dorsey stepped into his position things made a radical change. During the eutire first haif Hamptou was unable to cage a fleld goal. Edwards made six foul goals out of the eight chances. while Lincotn made tive field gouls aud two foul goals during the first bulf. The first haif ended with tue score 12 w 6 ta Lincoln's favor. ‘The socond half started with Gurnoe, ‘Miser aud Wlerson os Hampton's fresh Men, while Lincoln substituted Men- @erson for Butler. Captain Edwards and Guruce began to find the basket in tho early part of this half, aud It was all thut the Young brothers could do to stop the Seasiders from scoring. In the lust few minutes of play amp. tow tled the score. Owlng to the fact that Lincoin had six meu on the court, teferee Thomp- ;80n called a foul on them, After a | leugthy debute the Lincotnites guye in.

As health is a first aid to beauty this story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass., is of unusual interest. I can recommend no better health given than tonoline," said Mildred Louise. "I was for many months a victim of stomach trouble and nervousness. I had suffered terribly from pains that followed eating. Headaches also would add to my worries. Poor digestion finally brought on nervousness. "Relief came, however, when I took the advice of several women who said, 'Take tonoline.' "Not long after I started the tonoline treatment, my patrons began to remind me of the improvement in my condition. And because health is the quickest way to beauty, the improvement was particularly noticeable in my face. "What tonoline really did for me I cannot say. I am so grateful that I am very willing to recommend tonoline publicly." Tonoline is a purely vegetable preparation which goes to the seat of common maladies—stomach and kidney trouble, catarrhal affections of the mucous membranes to liver and liver—and quickly restores proper action. Tonoline is being explained daily to many people at your druidist. Notice: As tonoline is a wonderful fresh builder it should not be taken by any one not wishing to increase his weight ten pounds or more.

Saturday, March 3, 1917 OUR WOMAN WAGE-EARNERS. The daily newspapers of Washington have given more than usual attention to the formation, January 4, last, and growth of the Woman Wage-Earners' Association, of which Miss Jeannette Carter is president; Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, secretary; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, treasurer. This attention has been given by the daily newspapers of Washington because there is a live demand for an organization that will be helpful to the colored women wage-earners of the country, by showing them how to help themselves. This is, perhaps, one of the vital principles in uplift work, that those who know what should be done should organize to show those who do not know. The Woman Wage-Earners' Association of Washington has just issued a leaflet, a copy of which we have before us, stating the objects of the association, as follows: 1. While it is the main object of the Association to better the working hours and the housing and wage-earning conditions of our women in all lines of work, and to secure as many of them as possible as members of the organization, we very well understand that the main work of the Association must be promoted and done by public spirited women of the race who have homes of their own and resources independent of service for others for wages. It is that way in most of the charitable and benevolent work here and elsewhere. We earnestly desire the membership and active help of our women. It behooves us all who are in a position and able to do so to do what we can to help those who need help and are unable to help themselves. 2. To create better and more sympathetic and helpful relations between employers and employees. 3. To promote in every way more efficient and faithful service. 4. To provide a home where domestic science may be taught, and where employers can find workers on request, and where such workers can always find a home when out of employment and a place where they can spend an hour reading or writing, with gymnasium privileges and the like, when they are not working. 5. To maintain a lecture course, when persons of large information and experience will appear at stated intervals, and give of their abundance of wisdom and experience to those who need it and will profit by it. We invite our women generally to join our association and to help us improve the condition of our women in all lines of useful work they may be engaged. In a multitude of counsel there is much wisdom in the concert of many women for any given purpose there is great strength. The headquarters of the Washington association is 609 F street, Northwest. No woman reader of The Journal and Guide who has at heart the welfare of the women of the race will hesitate a moment to approve the objects of the Woman Wage-Earners' Association, and especially those of them in such large cities of the South as Norfolk. A half dozen of our women in Norfolk could begin such an organization and extend its influence, in connection with the parent association at Washington; so that they could soon have a State organization. The work is one needed to be and our women who have the education, the time and means and the inclination to help their less fortunate sisters must take hold and do it or it will not be done. The Woman Wage-Earners' Association is nothing new under the sun. White women in all of our large cities are engaged in like uplift work. Here and there our own women are doing such work. What is needed is that the doing of the work shall be more general, and that there shall be a central, moving purpose in the work. This can only be possible by the cooperation of the thinking, public-spirited women of the race, who are willing to take hold of the work, as white women take hold of it for their own, and make it possible. God helps those who help themselves. Those who do not help themselves, who do not try to do so, they have troubles of their own and often with the police. Our women wage-carners are a large factor in the life of the race. They are becoming more so every day as the business interests of the race expand and the demand for intelligent workers grows with the expansion. And besides these there are millions in unskilled work who need the assistance of those more fortunately circumstanced than they are. Women of Norfolk, think it over. FEARFUL COST OF WAR. The average mind is unable, and seldom undertakes, to estimate the fearful cost of war, even a small war. For instance, it has been stated that the United States expended some $67,000,000 in the effort to capture Francisco Villa, the Mexican chief who invaded American territory, in New Mexico, and "shot up" things. The queer thing about that expenditure is that the United States reversed the sense if not law that one nation can make war upon another nation, but no nation can make war upon an individual citizen of another nation. The punishment of Villa should have been left to the recognized government of principle of international common-Mexico; upon its failure to deliver the criminal it would have been the proper thing for the United States to declare war against Mexico. Our troubles in the Pacific and Atlantic islands since the Spanish-American War, where we have carried matters with "a long arm and a high hand," and the unprecedented reversal of the accepted principles of war in the European conflict of lawlessness, on the land, in the air and in the seas, with utter disregard of the rights of neutrals and non-combatant women and children,—we say, our troubles have taught us that, in war and peace, it is dangerous and costly to override established principles of law and precedent, whether of war or peace. Mr. Joseph E. Davies, writing in the Century, makes the following blood curdling analysis of what war has cost and is costing Great Britain, and upon which they will have to pay interest for a thousand years; War debts grow with tremendous leaps in very small periods of time; but it is equally true that they have been retired most slowly. Following the revolution of 1688, for a period of 128 years England alternated between periods of peace and war. During the 64 years of war approximately £25,000,000 were added to the national debt, and during the 64 years of peace the debt was reduced by only £30,000,000. The Crimean war added £33,000,000 to the public debt of England. The Boer war wiped out the savings of 36 years that had been applied to the reduction of the national debt. All of the savings of the imperial government of the richest country in the world, from the revolution of 1688 down to 1914, a period of 225 years, would be sufficient to finance only 80 days of the present war. The taxayer of Great Britain today is still paying taxes to cover the interest on the debt incurred by his forefathers in the American Revolution, the wars of the Napoleonic era and Queen Anne's war. If the experience of England in the last 200 years in the retirement of national debt is to be taken as a criterion, it will probably be safe to conclude that 1,000 years in the future the English people will be paying taxes to meet the interest on the debts now incurred. The War College, at Washington, it is reported, recommends that we should have in this crisis 4,000,000 soldiers ready to answer in time of actual war, at an annual cost of $472,-258,746. The average person does not stop to reflect that these enormous expenditures of the Government are paid by them in taxes levied upon what they have to pay for rent, food, clothing—for every taxable thing that the high cost of living touches and withers,—but it is so. The curse of all nations is the war taxation they have built up from the beginning and must pay interest upon annually and reduce by saving funds as they can. European nations are eaten up by interest on war taxation. The United States may finally be eaten up that way. We hope not. The money cost of war takes the life blood of people; the cost in human life is of like character for money is blood and blood is life. Taxes, war taxes, that cat up the life of the people of all nations, make for the high cost of living, which grinds the poor more than it does the rich, and which when carried too far, wrecks the nation, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the good and the bad, alike. Too bad, we have war fronting us, for war consumes blood, and wasted blood is hard to replace. --- FOOD RIOTS IN TIMES OF PLENTY. What spirit of wrath and vengeance has come upon the land, upon the people of the United States. With an abundance of foodstuffs and fuel the high cost of living and keeping warm indoors have risen so high as to make a sort of famine in the land, and millions of people are unable to buy sufficient food or fuel, while a few thousands of monopolists of these commodities have enough and to spare. The dealers in foodstuffs and fuel limit the output and force the cost to the people as high as the people will or can stand for it. It was reported in the dispatches the latter part of last week that there were some 30,000 cars of foodstuffs frozen fast on Western railroad side-tracks, while the exasperated housewives of Philadelphia, New York, and other Eastern centers of population were rioting in the streets, smashing grocery shops and defying the police. FARM TOP By JOHN D. WRAY Negro Boys' Farm Club A The Southern Negro Making Mistake By Migrating T There are also 15 men and engaged in Rural Extentic this State. The girls in schools are taught domes, handycraft, gardening, can try raising and many other arts that will add to their e life. The boys are instructed They claim that the war in England has caused the high cost of living, and that is partly true, but cold blooded greed has had more to do with it than war. We said upon the beginning of the war that our Government should enact legislation limiting the export of foodstuffs and fuel. We say now that all such export should be prohibited. Charity in foodstuffs and fuel, like all charity, should begin at home, with the people of the United States, and those who are growing fabulously rich by the exportations should be made to understand this and do it. They used to bleed Egypt of corn to feed Rome because they had the power to do it, but they should not be allowed to bleed the United States of foodstuffs and fuel because we have the power to prevent them from doing it. Why do we do it by appropriate Congressional legislation? Because the thinkers, therulers of the land, are a lot of cheap salesmen, money mad, who rob the nation while winking at lefteousness, called wrong doing for greed or revenge, and laugh righteousness to scorn. It should not be so in our land. SURRY COUNTY TEACHERS (By Mrs. Lucy Jones, Secretary.) The Surry County Teachers' Association held their regular monthly meeting at Lebanon School on February 22nd, it being a National holiday. Rev. A. S. George, president, officiated. Miss S. A. Adams, the corresponding secretary, was present and delivered a brief but very interesting address upon the outlook of the industrial work. The teachers who had not paid their annual fee of 50 cents did so. Mr. Joseph Howell of the State Normal School became a member of the Association by paying the required fee. The president then called the Association's attention to the annual meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Roanoke and discussed the advisability of representing, and it was decided to represent. We then entered into a free for all discussion of the first chapter of the books of our reading course, by which we hope all present were benefited. Mr. W. H. George, Surry's farm demonstrator, being present and was called upon to address the Association, to which he responded, indulging in congratulatory, inspiring and edifying remarks. Mr. George is an earnest, untiring and ambitions worker in his native county, having been recently appointed. His sister, Mrs. Grace Slade, also a native of Surry, is doing a splendid two-room school work in the county as principal teacher. The next meeting of our Association will be held on the 23rd prox. at Lebanon School. It is hoped that the entire corps of Surry's 24 teachers may be present. St. Christopher Trims Hampton Inst.

WRAY Negro Boys' Farm Club Agent The Southern Negro "taking A Serious Mistake By Migrating To North. There are also 15 men and 30 women engaged in Rural Extention Work in this State. The girls in the public schools are taught domestic science, handcraft, gardening, canning, poultry raising and many other industrial arts that will add to their efficiency in the. The boys are instructed in corn growing, Animal Husbandry, wood work and other science that tend to fit them for more profitable farming. The men are busily engaged improving their farms, homes and schools, organizing Federal Loan Associations to buy more loan and add to their improvements and make more productive. They are not thinking of going north to enjoy a temporary prosperity, but looking forward with much anticipation to the golden harvest of the future. Now I must confess that North Carolina is an exception to many, not all, the Southern States. She is inhabited by some of the best white people in the United States and their attitude is steadily growing in favor of better conditions for the Negro. It might be worthy of note, that there is a higher per cent of American-born white people in North Carolina than any other state in the Union. And as a matter of fact, we enjoy some advantages that are not common to many other Southern States. So there is every encouragement for the Negro to stay in North Carolina, and no inducement to go North. The State Legislature has recently provided for a Colored Hospital, there is a Deaf Dumb & Blind School at Raleigh, Orphan Home at Oxford, three good State Normal Schools, one at Elizabeth City, another at Fayetteville and one at Winston-Salem. There is also the Agricultural & Technical College, at Greensboro, one of the best schools of its kind in the South. The North Carolina Negroes seem to be using a great deal more discession than the migrants from other Southern States. When the world-war is over they will not have to scrap with the European pauper in the North, neither will they be troubled with his presence in the South, but will have brought about the desired conditions by their wise agitation and contention, firmly established himself and family securely against future competition, and will not have taken any chances on his health in a cold climate to which he is not adapted, while the migrants to the North may have suffered ill health as a result of their unnatural adaptation to a northern climate, they may be unable to compete with the European pauper in his effort to obtain work at low wages, and if they should be replaced by him in the North, there is the strongest possibility that the same condition may obtain in the South, because the Southern white man who has suffered on account of the Negroes migrating, will seek relief from whatever source he can. Therefore, the chances are, that the migrants may lose their place in both, the North and South, and become a force for the worse, rather than the better of their own condition, to say nothing of their unappreciable effect upon the posterity of the race. Such a calamity might be made a well-nigh impossibility, if the Negro would take advantage of their present opportunity and stay in the South. ARE YOUR EYS AS GOOD AS YOUR MEMORY? Sometimes you look up from the present into the past, with all its memories. It is easy to do that. But, here is the present, are you able—to look up from near objects and, without changing or removing glasses, see distant objects clearly? Have you lost with the passing years, that splendid eyesight of youth, which could instantly adjust its vision from near to far? Kryptok Glasses the invisible bifocales enable you to see both near and distant objects as clearly and distinctly as with the eyesight of youth. The end the trouble and annoyance of removing your reading glasses every time you look at objects more than a few feet away. They free you from fussing with two pair of glasses. They are making the old-style bifocales, with the disfiguring seam or hump a thing of the past. They keep your eyes young in looks, as well as in usefulness, because they do not have the age-revealing seam or hump of other bifocales. When you are wearing them, they cannot be distinguished from single vision glasses. Their surfaces are clear, smooth and caven-free from line. Dr. Masrow makes a specialty of the above glasses. If you have any trouble with your eyes and need glasses for reading and distance you can consult Dr. Masrow any time at his office which is located at 405 Dickson building. His office hours are from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. CARD OF THANKS.

Fort Worth, Texas.—While they are still fighting in Europe, and it looks like at times that all brave Americans are going to have to put their guns on their shoulders or some other place and go to war, here and there you will find a big fight going on between the Christian people and the devil, and they are putting forth a strong effort to chase the devil out of the sinners and pershase will get him out of a few of the Christian people. I have been moving since I wrote you my last letter, and I am still moving, and it is hard to tell where I will be when I write another letter. I have seen some few things to inspire me, and there are some things which have almost caused me to say things which are not considered in the Sunday School code of right and wrong. I will have to tell you about them and then you may judge for yourself. I have had the pleasure of spending a nice little time in Chicago, looking around there to see what I could see and how I could see it, and then turn my attention to the passing multitude of people who make up this great mass of humanity. I have seen them and have had cause to rejoice with them. I had the pleasure of meeting the pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Rev. L. K. Williams, and without a doubt, he is one of the greatest men in this country, and some preacher. He is interested in the affairs of the National Baptist Convention and is pushing them, but before I got to Chicago, I must tell you that I have been to Indianapolis, and there I called on the great newspaper men. I have been hearing and hearing about the Freeman, and now I have been in the office of this paper, and met Editor Knox, editorial writer Lewis, and some other strong men. The Freeman is one of our strong papers, and there are strong men there. Mr. Knox had on his face some smile, and I am sure you will not blame him when I call your attention to the fact that he is a new-father. It has caused him to spend some sleepless nights already, and while I was talking to this editor he dropped off to sleep. "Be a brave father." I had the pleasure of meeting many people in the city, but as I am going back I will wait until then to talk to you about them. Now then let us rush through Chicago meet some of the people, yet will not introduce you to them because of the work which I must do. Off to. Kansas City, and there is where I met Rev. L. K. Williams, and he was one busy man. He was trying to help the ministers there to run down the devil, and believe me they are succeeding. Some strong people have been called upon to come to the front. Just the week before Dr. Williams got to town, there was to be a big charity ball, although the revival was going on, they lined up. The church people in church and the dancing people in the hall. They had outlined to do the slog drag, the K. C., the Ping pong, Get off the pupy's tail, 'Liz on the rail, the warble and the wiggle, the dip, and kangeroo, and many others that I shall not name. The music had started, and just as the dizzy whil had started the church people marched in singing "All to Jesus I Surrender." "Jesus I My Cross Hath Taken," and several other songs filled the hall, and then a brother from the amen corner of the church, went down on his knees and began to talk to God, and the lady at the piano tried to drown his voice by playing a "rag," but believe me every dancer left and when she realized what had happened she was there all alone, and stopped playing, declaring that she would have played all night if the people had remained to dance. It was broken up, and I don't know how much money charity will get from that ball. I am not going to comment on the dance, the playing, but I am sure you will draw your own moral lesson, and the young woman, who played while the man of God was playing, may some day have to call upon him to pray for her. I would suggest to her that she now get right with God. There is a great meeting in progress in Kansas City, and people are being. helped. I had the pleasure of visiting the high school, meeting Prof. Hodge and others of the teachers, and then off to Saint Louis. When you go to St. Louis you may put it down that you are going to see something as well as hear something, and this was my lot. I visited Poro College, and had the pleasure of meeting that wonder woman, Mrs. Anna Turnbo Malone, founder and president of the college and a woman who is bringing things to pass. Long ago she recognized that a woman's glory was her hair, and she discovered something that it would make it grow. She started to make the stuff in one room, and now she has a great big plant employing stenographers, bookkeepers, clerks, shippers, packers to the extent of forty young people, and then furnishes business for between 7,00 and 8,000 agents, who have learned the business in Poro College and some of them are able to support themselves, and some have invested in good real estate. "I do not want to be selfish," declared Mrs. Malone, "but I want to help our young women to become independent. I made the discovery, and now I am giving it to others. This is a real business and worth while. I want to congratulate her. Prof. Aaron Molone is the business manager. I shall tell you more about them in another letter. I made it from St. Louis to Texarkana, on the Sunshine, over the St. Louis and Iron Mountain, and from there to this place where I am today. I have met so many people who are doing things. It is an easy thing for me to write you a letter next week, There is another unfortunate impression obtained among the uninitiated. And that is to cut off a cough everything points to recovery. Blocking the channels and disturbing the factors concerned in relieving the system of the underlying cause of the cough, is like plugging the main to the sewerage system. The interference causes the stagnation and aggravates the difficulties. The purpose in treating the cough is not to obstruct or impede the reparative changes going on of which the cough is a sign, but rather to encourage the curative process by applying the proper remedies indicated in each case. It seems to be a part of good judgment to render first aid in this complaint in the same manner as one would in other conditions, but this should not be extended to such an extent until unhappy results develop. After the temporary treatment to bring about a partial relief, the next thing to do is to consult a physician who is in position to render the proper and necessary aid. When you look at only the cough, he goes into the problem with the idea of finding the cause behind it, and starting a treatment which will insure a permanent relief if one is possible. It is not wise to permit a cough to continue too long in its annoyance before having the matter considered by one who is able to put you on the track toward recovery. Right at this point is where so many people make a mistake, and when they do decide to seek advice, often the conditions producing the cough is so thoroughly established that it defies all treatment that may be instituted by the consultant. The sooner the cough complained of is brought to the attention of the doctor, the better for the patient. The outlook, then, is more favorable than to allow it to hang on for some little time with the hope that it will be all right after a few days and a few hours. During this "Watchful waiting," is the apportune time when the diseased area is playing its mischief, and setting up a strong defense against the treatment applied later. To delay in this matter is expensive both to health and the purse. In a cough you have a warning and a reasonable advice would be that you heed it and not let it go unobserved.

Madam Unthank, 542 Church Street, Norfolk, Va. RACE PROGRESS IN MISSISSIPPI By HORACE D. SLATTER. Utica, Miss.-The usual experience meeting of former conferences became this year. 1917, a veritable school, where men and women vied with each other in asking questions that would make their burdens lighter, that would make their community better and that would put them all in position to render better service one to another and to understand their peculiar problems day by day. This in a nutshell describes the thirteenth annual session of the Utica institute farmers' conference recently held in this town. The conference lasted two days and was presided over by William H. Holtzcaw, principal of the school. The meeting was attended by several hundred farmers from the surrounding neighborhoods. Many educators, ministers and other professional and business men were also in attendance. Principal Holtzclaw in his advice to the farmers in the south with reference to migration to northern centers was polited and vigorous, but he maintained that the south was the better place for the Negro. However, he recognized the right of any individual to change his residence if he thinks best to do so. The declarations adopted by the conference were just as frank as the address of Principal Holtzclaw. They accounted the progress made by the Negro, congratulated him thereon, but did not fall in the meantime to point out the need for the development of the country round about them, the prevention of so much disease, the suppression of crime and the building of home life. Problems of health, community life and farm improvement were considered in a vigorous manner by the conference. County Superintendent F. M. Coleman laid major stress upon the importance of agriculture in the life of the people, urged larger co-operation on the part of the Negro ministers in the large amount of uplift work the Negro teachers were doing in the county and told just what the county department of education was doing to help the colored people in Illinois county. The wonderful fertility of the soil and the varied nature of the yield that would be possible under intelligent farming were demonstrated by Professor George W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute in a manner that easily made him the feature of the conference. Unassuming, quite like a farmer in appearance, he hardly impresses one as a member of learned societies that have for their object the promotion of science. He was the most pronounced advocate of diversification and incidentally struck the national hegira a hard blow when he showed what the Negro farmer could do with the Mississippi soil the year round. Reducing the high cost of living would be an easy matter if the farmers would raise a goodly amount of their own stuff, according to Professor Carver, who showed how from the velvet bean bread, coffee, candies and foodstuff could be made. Concrete examples of the influence the institute had exercised over the people of the community were afforded by a number of talks from farmers present, typical among which was that of R. D. Morrison, who since the beginning of these conferences had purchased a farm of 190 acres, had taken the lead in his community near Edwards and had succeeded in raising among the colored people more than $1,000 with which they had elected a modern three room school building. To this Julius Rosenwald added $300, and lately a blacksmith shop has been erected. Cooking, carpentry and blacksmithing were taught in addition to the common school branches. Henry Kennard stated that he had always worked as a renter or share cropper and wanted to purchase a home. He sought light from some one in the conference who had succeeded. John Tyner, who had been buying a home for ten years, told how it could be accomplished and made the point that it was better to be ten years buying a home than to rent twenty, as many had done. Sam Field recounted an incident that illustrates the value and influence of the personal relations between some white and colored men in the south when he showed how by the exercise of diplomacy he succeeded in getting the use of a first class mule from his white landlord. United States Demonstration Agent J. H. Tanner gave some common sense advice and urged the farmers to stick to the pig as a valuable help to get out of debt or to accumulate money. He told the farmers that they were welcome to take advantage of the cooperative shipping of hogs and stated that in the last shipment of a car and a half from Utica a number of Negro farmers had participated.

PAGE EIGHT NEW SUPERINTENDENT FOR TIDEWATER HOSPITAL NEW SUPERINTENDENT FOR TIDEWATER HOSPITAL Miss Anna M. Johnson, Lincoln Hospital Registered Nurse Relleves Dr. Drake Of House Management. On March 1, Dr. Wijib A. Drake, founder of the Tidewater Colored Hospital, retired from the superintendency of That Institution and Miss Annie M. Johnson of Charlottesville, Va., who is a graduate of Lincoln Hospital, New York, and a registered nurse of the States of New York and Virginia, has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by Dr. Drake's resignation. Dr. Drake will still be actively connected with the hospital as Surgon-in-Charge, and as secretary of the Board of Trustees, with office at the hospital. During the two years the hospital has been in operation it has made remarkable success in every way, and is today one of the leading colored hospitals in the country. Dr. Drake has been fortunate in securing the active co-operation of all the colored physicians of the city and a large number of the white, and has associated with him on the board of trustees some of the leading business and professional men of the race. Dr. Drake retires from the active management of the hospital in order that he may devote more of his time to his large medical and surgical practice. During the past year he has successfully performed more than one hundred abdominal operations and a large number of minor operations. Miss Johnson comes to the hospital very highly recommended and there is every reason to believe that the hospital will continue to maintain its high standard of efficiency. Mrs. Adelaude G. Drake will continue to serve as supervisor of the operating room and head of the department of donations and charity. Several ladies clubs and many individuals have been sending in donations of linen, cooking utensils, magazines, etc. for which we are grateful and we hope that many others will thus remember the institution. Mrs. Drake will always be pleased to have the friends of the institution call her up and she will send for the donation. Phone Norfolk 6985. All gifts to the hospital will be promptly acknowledged and published in The Journal and Guide so that every one will be given full credit for what is given. Mr. C. H. Oliver, one of our trustees, is in charge of our soliciting department and he has full authority to receive donations for the hospital. Mr. Oliver may be found at The Journal and Guide office. He is making a determined effort to raise sufficient funds, this year, to pay off all the indebtedness of the hospital. [Concluded from page 1.] Richmond of Pitt County; Rev. M. A.

Our work for this year has proven to be a splendid beginning. Already I have excelled any of the past six years of my work on yearly subscriptions. Out of 60 subscribers 50 of them were yearly, paying $1.50 each. From this splendid start I am expecting a most successful year. I am now making appeal for each one to take a year's subscription and let the paper come to their home the year round. WILMINGTON Wilmington, N.

Many Things May Be Done to Improve Conditions. January is the off season for orchard work, but by making use of the slack times the good orchardist keeps ahead of his work. A little observation will disclose a number of things that may be done at this season to improve the condition of the orchard. Some pruning is likely to be needed, especially in bearing orchards. In mid-winter, however, pruning is best confined to the removal of dead and broken limbs and the thinning of particularly dense portions. Very heavy pruning at this time is apt to result in more or less sun scald, especially if the trunks or principal limbs are much exposed. After the pruning is completed all brush and dead limbs should be removed from the orchard and burned since such debris provides a good harbor for pests of various sorts, including rubbits, mice, borers, bark beetles, curculio and tarnished plant bugs. ```markdown ``` REMOVE DEAD AND BROKEN LIMBS. Scraping off the very rough and scaly bark with a dull hoe or similar implement will reduce the number of harbors for apple worms or larvae of the coiling moth. Some of these worms will thus be killed directly, and the rest will be exposed effectively to attack by their chief natural enemies, the munchatches and the hairy and downy woodpeckers. A little suet hung in the trees occasionally may attract these natural tree inspectors in the orchards. The dormant sprays for Sun Jose scale and similar pests are best applied in the fall soon after the leaves drop and in the spring just before the buds start. In midwinter, however, spraying machinery may be put in good running order, or the necessary equipment for making one's own supply of lime-sulphur concentrate may be secured, provided the amount of spraying is sufficient to justify it. Such an equipment will usually save from 40 to 60 per cent on the cost of lime-sulphur required, and its total cost need not exceed $15, so that any one using seven barrels or more of the ordinary commercial concentrate should be able to save enough in the first year to pay for his equipment. It is well to locate sources of good lime and sulphur before they are needed. If enough of the lime-sulphur concentrate is made up, sales to neighbors may provide an additional profit.

Prof. Allen was an indefatigable worker in the school-room. He was also an earnest, persistent and devout church worker, and the Mt. Olive M. E. Church of Lumberton, where he labored for many years, will unquestionably miss him sorely. Forbearing to go into the details of the life of this great man, suffice it to say that he was one of the best men the writer ever knew. He was optimistic and unassuming always, and ever had a warm place in his heart for humanity in general, and his race in particular. He leaves a widow who has long been identified with educational work, and several daughters who are teachers of distinction. W. S. LEACH. Continued from First Page. tary training camp held at Plattsburgh, N. Y., where thousands of men have received intensive training in military service. It will be under the direction of United States Army officers. It will last four weeks. The date has not been fixed, but it will probably begin early in June. The status of every student at the camp will be that of a cadet, just as at West Point. I understand that the transportation to and from the camp will be defrayed by the government, and that the subsistence and training at the camp will be free. It is probable that every man will have to pay his own fare to the camp, and that after he arrives his traveling expenses will be refunded and his fare home paid. The only expense will be the cost of the uniform, which each man must furnish himself. This consists of a khaki blouse, khaki breeches, two olive draft shirts, web belt, campaign hat and cotton leggings, costing in all about eight or ten dollars. Any good russet walking shoes will do. The outfit may be purchased on arrival at camp, or, better still, from the Army and Nacy Cooperative Company, with branches in New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Almost any sporting goods store can furnish the outfit, which must be of the regular army pattern. Those who wish to do some study in advance are advised to read Moss' Manual of Military Training. Candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 45, in vigorous health, and of good moral character. Men who are graduates or undergraduates of colleges, high schools, normal, agricultural or industrial schools or other institutions of learning are preferred; but any man of intelligence, character and ability may join. Previous military experience is not necessary. If you are not a graduate or undergraduate of some institution, it might be advisable to have a letter of recommendation from some person of re.pute. Send in your own application immediately. But that is not enough. Go out among your friends, and persuade them to do the same. We must not let this chance slip. We must have as many colored officers as possible, if war should come. N. B.—Applications should be sent to Dr. J. E. Spingarn, 9 West Seventy-third street, New York. A brief letter, with a few details about yourself, will be sufficient for the present. We must persuade General Wood that over 200 men want to join immediately.

Mr. Cummings, representing the General Education Board of New York, gave a short talk, after which the regular program was resumed. Miss Daisy Sykes of the J. C. Price School, gave a demonstration of the correlation of history and geography. The children were well trained, and the manner of conducting the recitation deserves much praise. This completed the morning session. Grade meetings were held and luncheon was served. The afternoon session opened with a well rendered and much appreciated vocal solo by Miss E. Ruby Turner. Miss Edith Brinkley, a teacher of English in the John T. West High School, read an excellent paper on "The Teaching of High School English." Miss Eliza Coppage of the S. C. Armstrong School recited "Nydia, The Blind Girl of Pompey." This number was both entertaining and instructive, for Miss Coppage's manner of presenting the story was a lesson in itself. One of the most enjoyable numbers of the whole program was a demonstration of story telling by Miss Leonna Barber. After giving some instructive points as to the selection of stories and the manner of presenting them, Miss Barber herself told a story to the audience. She displayed unusual ability, and he work deserves special commendation. The program was ended by an address delivered by Rev. S. S. Morris, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church. His subject was "Egoism vs. Altruism." After the close of the program the association appointed as delegates to the "Attorneys' Association, the president, Prof. J. Ross Tass Constance Fuller, and Prof. J. S. Primary Teachers Session. During the session of the Association the primary teachers (including first, second, and third grade teachers) held a meeting, with Miss Evelyn Jones of Portsmouth, Va., presiding. A secretary was elected, after which Miss Jones stated that the teachers of this department would meet, during each session of the Association and discuss the difficulties which they have in their work. She further stated that she had great difficulty in teaching the little folks how to write numbers. Miss Fletcher Howell of Mt. Hermon High School read a splendid paper on "How to Teach Numbers." Miss Howell was perfectly at home with her subject and her suggestions proved very helpful to all. Misses Thomas and Green spouse. All were sorry that more time could not be given to the discussion.
