National Negro Business League Proposes Extensive and Constructive Working Program for Future Operations of the Organization WORK TO BE DONE THROUGH THREE BUREAUS, COVERING ALL PHASES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Race Business Enterprises Have Increased Nearly Three Hundred Per Cent in Fifteen Years. Increase In Farm Ownership 177 Per Cent Land and Buildings 293 Per Cent. To see the beginnings of the National Negro Presidential Business League in a Association, the National Funeral Place set them against the conditions that gro Barg Association, the National Association during the earlier development of Negro Insurance, then thement of Negro business. When it is National Retail Business Association recently from slavery into the light Real Estate Dealers. These men of civilization it is expected that they each year with the National Negro should be slow in assembling a Business League and in addition to the building and uncertain business world. The great masses of the Negroes were deprived by the very conditions they were born in. We learn the art of conducting business enterprises. They were taught, as one of the conditions of bondage, to be a slave. We were all too well learned. With this blighting feeling of offrust natural following the two bed-fellows, we were forced to dom, the seeds sprung up and increased wonderfully and constituted for a long time the weeds and thorns of the Negro's success in business. In view of these facts it is no wonder that more progress was made in PROGRESS IN FIFTEEN YEARS Negro Business Enterprises. Negro Banks. Drug Stores. Undertaking Establishments. Wholesale Dealers. Retail Merchants. TEN-YEARS' INCREASE IN FARM PROPERTY Owned by Negroes. Domestic Animal Powtry Implements and Machinery Land and Buildings Total Value of Farm Property education and culture, in the acquisition of land, and churches in the economic world of business. At the death of D. Toeg, Negroes were face to face with competition of the most efficient kind, to whether or not those who would succeed in business need further for the help of a white man with his superior capital, to function, Dr. I training and inheritance and also the distrust and jealousy of many of his and what he from within and without. Yet, in the face of these adverse conditions, ing, held in Atlanta, a very creditable beginning had been to date when the National Negro Business League was under consideration. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in his travels through widely separated regions of the country found so many suits, came to the conclusion that the time had come to put the Negro Business men and women on terms of mutual acquaintancehip and helpful assistance which characterized the man's really undisputable genius, he sent out, an appeal to the business men and women of the race throughout the country, the purpose of effecting an organization through which the Negro in business could impress the white man and encourage the black man. A group of businessmen, meeting in August 23rd; 24th and 26th, there was organized the National Negro Business League, for the purpose of "Promoting the commercial and financial development of the city." Harry J. Barrymore, of the Boston Transcript, said of the first meeting: "It please me to see how brave the Negro could be; and how patient. I waited for outbreaks of cholera and especially against the recent white cruelty. I heard none. No one *cry-babied*. The spirit was fierce, and certainly hopeful. Regarding material advancement, as a basis of every other sort of progress, the convention listened, eagerly to accuse the Negro of having now built houses, bought land, opened places, of independent business; and established there was scarcely any tendency to indulge in racial self-laudation. In general, the convention deprecated any desire to flatter the Negro; and instead said, "Let us look the conditions honestly and courageously in the face. Let us say the things that those things are people, whether those things are pleasant or otherwise." THE.FIRST FIFTEEN YEARS With the goal in mind as expressed in the purpose of the League and with Dr. Washington at the head, the State League was intended to grow in numbers and influence. Local and State Leagues were organized throughout the country, and the League developed an increasing tendency to form new groups of organizations affiliated with the National Negro Bankers' Association was the first offspring of the League.

Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the Business League, in referring to this question in his Annual Address, before the League at the Twenty-second Annual Meeting, in Atlanta, Georgia, August 19th, 1915, in source of its great inspiration, the enthusiasm with which the people of the nation have rallied to the war, and in source of their yearly administration of our distinguished friend, President J. C. Napier, under his wise leadership, and during the past two years, with enthusiasm convives me more than ever that there is a real need and therefore a real place for the business people of the country, want such a forum for both the information as well as the inspiration which it brings. This should be been done among those who know of the work and wisdom of Dr. Washington." The remarkable success of the Business League, aside from the palpable during the incumbency of Dr. Washington, was due to the dispendid cooperation always received from the people of the nation, who were associated with him in coercing and gratifying to note that the same men who worked so faithfully with Dr. Washington continued the efforts of Mr. J. C. Mapiper, who succeeded Dr. Washington as President and of Dr. Robert R. Moton. While the League was organized for the specific purpose of promoting the commercial and financial development of the Negro Business, information, and co-operation and has served its purpose well as, has been intimated, Dr. R. K. Moton, President, Dr. R. K. Moton, fully the need of placing the organization upon a firm business basis. To do this, President Moton at the National Negro Business proposal, upon which definite action will be taken at the Norfolk meeting: THREE BUREAUS RECOMMENDED "It is proposed to establish the National Negro Business League: First, a Bureau on Business Promotion; second, a Bureau on Health; third, a Bureau on Health. The Bureau on Business Promotion will have as its purpose the promotion for the promotion of business enterprises among Negroes, assisting local capital prizes or extending and developing existing enterprises that have proved successful. There is large room within the space for the President National Negro Business League DR. ROBERT RUSSA MOTON: $ ^{1} $ ST. LUKE BOUGHT BY CONNECTION; IS NOW ST. PAUL C. M. E. Connection Pays, $27,000 For Church Property And Congregation Settles Back In Their Old Home. TRUSTEE WHO FIRST BOUGHT IT OFF BOARD St. Luke, church was sold again last Tuesday and with the sale passed out of existence St. Luke C. M. E. church, of Norfolk. The property was bought by the C. M. E. church, of St. Pat. C. M. E. congregation, which is in fact, the old St. Luke congregation, the same people who have always occupied the church, sailing under their own ships. St. Luke has had a sturdy career in the past two months, and for that reason and assure future permanen- tate church home members deemed it advisable to record them out of afresh under a new name. SOLD ONCE BEFORE A few weeks ago the church got into financial-difficulties from which it was unable to extricate itself. The members applied to the Connection to investigate the connection came to Norfolk to investigate the matter and to arrange to assist the congregation. In their investigation they discovered that St. Peter was independent of the Connection in its property relations. They refused to assume any obligations for the church unless the property should be the majority of the members agreed to and a friendly sale was arranged, whereby the Connection should purchase the property for an amount to take title, and assume responsibility for the obligation. TRUSTEE BOUGHT IT HOUSTON SQUARE 18 Mr. G. Gordon, the owner of the church, who chooses to be an endorser on several of its obligations, upon learning of the amount to be offered at the friendly sale, objected for the reason that the amount was not sufficient, and which he had assumed responsibility. When the sale was held, Mr. Gordon surprised the representatives of the Connection, who were prepared to arrange the sale, by outbidding them and having the property knocked off to him. This he did as a means of self-protection, he later stated, that the property was developed, which prevented the transfer of the property to Mr. Gordon, and the congregation, who had refused to remain in the church upon purchasing it, and purchased it and held; services in the Booker T. Washington High School Building, immediately returned (Continued on Page 56-A). ANNIE CHAMBERS PRAYED TO GET OUT OF JAIL AND DID Dismissed Do Charges Growing Out Of The Killing Of Two Officers By Her Husband; No Evidence Against Her. BROADNAX DISMISSED ON ACCESSION CHARGE "Thank you; thank God," said Mrs. Annie Chambers, the wife of Jim Chambers when on last Tuesday Justice Gilliam, sitting in the Norfolk County Court in Portsmouth, dismissed charges against her in connection with the slaying of two federal prohibition officers by her husband, Hustown, Saturday night, July 22nd. The woman had been confined in jail since the night of the killing, presumably on the charge of being an armed person, and developed at the hearing that the charge could not be sustained. PRAYED FOR RELEASE In an interview Tuesday morning, before the time set for the hearing, Mrs. Chambers stated that, the few weeks in jail had been trying times to find a place of experience for her, and, "belle me I have sent up some earnest-prayers since I have been in here." She further stated that Jim Chambers should never have been in prison while she lied there, and he didn't. "When questioned by Rev. R. H. Bowling of her plans for the future, she stated that she had no definite plans for her future, so she would keep house somewhere so as to maintain a home for her mother whom she has to support. Mrs. Chambers requested the Negro woman her behalf who have expressed so much sympathy for her during her troubles. The commonwealth did not endeavor to press any charges against the Negro woman, but the of the few officiers who were in the raiding party when two of their number was killed, proceedings against All kinds of reports were current following the Jim-Chambers tragedy in Tittsown, including the assertion that officers until his wife had been struck with a revolver by one of them. This report came to the journal and was published by the author and authentic sources, and was published as such. We have since learned, however, from Mrs. Chambers herself and others who are in position to report that she was not otherwise badly treated by the federal agents.

After receiving treatment from Dr. A. C. Johnson, of Furxtun, Kelly went to the hospital, of which he is an employee at that place.

The campus of the Negro's well developed appreciation of the finer and more beautiful things in life than its grounds, buildings, and its spirit, built and maintained by public subscription through gifts ranging from a mite to thousands of dollars it stands in Tidewater as a monument to General Armstrong, its founder and most important development in its broadest and highest sense, crystallizing their aspiration towards life's higher values.

SIMAL SWAMP and LAKE DRUMMOND—A natural wonder of America, 20 miles from Norfolk by small boat. AGRICULTURAL and INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES—Tidewater Virginia, is a great trucking section, where intensively cultivated market gardens are located, supplying not only the location of Tidewater, but the more important cities of the north and east. GREAT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS have been attracted here because of their demand for expious handling of materials and manufacturers and distributors have seen building in regions where adequate transportation facilities may be had. Indeed, to appreciate the industrial strength of this section one needs but to be reminded of the following facts: Hampton Roads led all the American cities in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921; Negro labor has played, is now playing and ever shall play an important position in the agricultural, commercial, and industrial development of Tidewater. NOPE—To know Tidewater is to love Tidewater. Its people possess a sense of fair dealing and democracy, are ready always to extend their hands and fellowship—greeting the newcomer with a smile and welcome—and are happy in the enjoyment of a prosperous and successful section. Notwithstanding the fact that the depression, caused by unemployment of labor and failures of some of our largest enterprises, weighing heavily upon our hearts, the people are warm-hearted, waiting with arms outstretched for help, and courageous and pleasure that the twenty-third annual session of the National Negro Business League will bring to this region of hospitality and progress; surrounded on all sides with opportunities for clean, wholesome recreation and amusement. Boulevard Terrace The Suburb Grand In the matter of high class colored residential sections Norfolk has no superior among the cities of Virginia and it modestly boasts one of the most exclusive Negro residential sites in the State. Situated on Broad Creek Boulevard, 15 minutes walk from lower Church street, the heart of Norfolk's business district Boulevard Terrace; and it is doubtful if the State affords any locality of colored people with more pretentious homes and surroundings. The Terrace comprises a ten acre plot, developed and improved with every modern convenience, laid off in 50 feet frontage lots. The beautiful oval expanse, covered with green grass, provides a pleasant residence of face brick and white succo, form one of the show places of the city. VALUABLE HOMES On the boulevard proper there is no house costing to build less than $15,000. Six residences on the Terrace cost to construct in an aggregate apportioned among the only genuinely restricted Negro residences in Tidewater. No house can be built on less than two lots. Flat op houses, public garages, stores and shops of all kinds are tabooed. Althoost of the homes cost to build $15,000, and some within the restrictions, but the management does insist on first class houses. The palatial homes of Rev. J. Albert Hundy, Attorney J. Eugene Trigg, would enhance the beauty and value of any residential section in the state. There are other homes on the Terrace, altho not as pretentious as those of the above named families, their beauty of design complements the landscapes, one of grandure. MANY PLOTS SOLD Several sites on the plot have been sold and the near future will see more families added to Norfolk's best suburbs. It is stated that among the suburbs in Norfolk the Terrace very soon are: Mr. W. M. Rich, president of the Metropolitan Bank and Mr. M. R. Edmunds, a successful contractor. Beauty, convenience and comfort in the suburb have been the 'utth degree in the design of the homes. Combined in their construction are both Period and Modern architecture and the interior decorations make complete modern palaces with wide lawns and fine drainage enhance the beauty and value of the property. REV. HANDY'S VISION Boulevard Terrace is the result of a vision of Rev. J. Albert Handy. It was he who conceived the idea of a truly restricted Negro residential section and in 1919 bought the ten acre street wit the purpose of making real his vision. Rev. Handy encountered problems with "scheme" but events in the past few years have proved to his entire satisfaction the worth of his vision. Rev. Handy indicated the kind of home that would be preferable in Boulevard Terrace by first constructing one for himself and building since has been in conformity with the idea.

Williamson, when the twister swept through the town of Penn Field, Taxas a few days ago. Williamson was head blackened at the Woodward Manufacturing Company plant. He took refuge under an automobile, holding to the under side of the car with his hands and feet. The twister picked up the car, whirled it around several times and damaged it badly, but Williamson escaped unhurt. As he was about to attempt to crawl out from under the car, the tornado dropped a span of mules on top of the vehicle. One of the mules began kicking about, striking Williamson's leg and injuring him painfully. Williamson's brother, Legare Williamson, after the storm crawled into the car, which had protested his injury and attempted to drive off for help. The car would not budge, however. After the wreck at the Woodward plant, one of the first outsiders to reach the scene was Aubrey Williamson, another brother, who took charge of his two brothers and took them to his home.

Alabam came next in the establishment of Negro banks with the Penny Savings Bank, at Birmingham.

SALARY THAT WAS PAST DUE Ebenezer Sliced Off $75.00 A Month When Settlement Was Made With Retiring Pastor. Dr. C. G. Somerville, until June 1st, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Portsmouth, characterizes as unfair the actions of his former congregational leader when he final settlement with him was made. Rev. Somerville states that his resignation as pastor of the church was accepted in the month of January by a majority of 60 percent of the 1st. In the time intervening between the date of its acceptance and the date of its going into effect, he states, that he recei no salary. The result was that when he left the church, he was paid a back pay. In voting to pay him the members also voted to cut the salary from $175.00 per month to $100.00 per month, making the cut retroactive from January 1st. This notice was made to the congregation off $75.00 per month from already earned salary amounts to fleecing him out of $755.00. Members of the church had nothing to say for publication when interviewed by Journalist John R. McCarthy to admit that the ex-pastor's salary had been cut in the manner described. combined resources of $12,000,000 contributes by $2,600,000. Although the deposits in Negro banks and large and are a credit to the race these deposits do not represent the amount Negroes have in savings accounts. For their funds are widely distributed in banks and Building and Loan associations of both races. 17 Wm. M. RICH President Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. Norfolk, Virginia BUREAU OF LABOR'S SURVEY A short while ago the United States Bureau of Labor conducted a survey to ascertain the amount of money per capita Negroes had in the banks located in the industrial centers in the South and the Northern Border states. They were directed to know how the colored man was weathering the industrial storm. Interesting facts gleaned from the survey show that as of December 3, 1921, Negroes had on deposit in banks $80 per capita and as of April 30th, the deposits were $78 per capita, showing the height of the industrial crisis and the a severe winter Negro bank deposits decreased by only $2.00 per capita. A. J. STRONG Vice-President and Treasurer Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. Norfolk, Virginia GREAT INFLUENCE The great influence for good that race banks exercise among their people cannot be estimated. They have been a God-send to the farmer and other struggling race enterprises. Small loans by banks for the promotion of Negro businesses were practically unknown before race banks became available. The Negro bank encourages thrift and enabling members of the race to obtain homes the work of these banks has been insistable. The Negro bank exercises a function among the race that cannot be substituted by any other agency. Their close personal touch and sympathetic insight of the needs of the Negro business man and home-builder are invaluable to the progress of the race. Notwithstanding, the many business failures the country has sustained in the past year and some of these failures constituting a serious blow to the race, the Negroes confidence in his business men still holds. WHITE BANKERS HELP The fact must not be lost sight of, however, that much of the success of Negro banks must be attributed to white bankers. On the whole the white financier has been ready to extend a helping hand to the Negro bank, wherever the conduct of its officials merited confidence. Many a storm has been weathered by colored banks through the advise and financial assistance of the white banker. In the hands of a slave in the slave market and for a people removed from slavery by only a half century to own and control million dollar banks afford a brilliant example of progress. WHEN IN NORFOLK STOP AT THE HUNTERSVILLE HOTEL LOCATED AT 1632-1634 CHURCH STREET THE BANK REV. C. P. MADISON Annie Chambers Is Released Continued from Page One her ended. Mrs. Chambers was represented by attorney J. M. Harrison and the law firm of Howell and Wilson, of Norfolk. BROADNAX AND HORTON Charles Horton, R. Jones and J. Broadnax, who were also arrested on the night of the number and charged with aiding and abetting the escape of Chambers, faced Justice Gilliam as soon as the woman's case was disposed of. Commonwealth Attorney insisted on not hearing the cases of Horton and Jones without the presence of three witnesses who were absent, and for that reason their cases were postponed until Saturday, August 12th, noon. They were admitted to the court on $500 each. Mr. John Washington, of Tittown, going their surety. Broadnax was not only charged with aiding and abetting the escape of a murderer, but there was also tacked onto him a Mapp act charge, as it was stated by A. Stroud that murderer James Horton had at some previous time of being part owner in the still with Chambers. CHARGE DISMISSED Justice Gilliam would not sustain the charge in connection with the attempted escape of the murderer as none of the officers offered testimony to show that Broadnax had seen him kill. If Stroud testifying that he had seen the defendant directly after the killing, but at that time it would have been impossible for him to have been in company with Chambers. Justice Gilliam dismissed the charge and the November ground jury, on the Mapp act violation. Just as Broadnax began to get unacus, as there appeared to be no one in the court room to bail him, George Washington spoke up in time to save the man from gorging on his wishing ton went his surety.

FALTZ, Manager MRS. J. W. FALTZ Assistant Mgr. Last Sunday night at Second Calvary Baptist church Dr. C. P. Madison made his second attack on what he terms the sins of Norfolk. The minister had for his subject the sins of Norfolk in Room Floor." He was greeted by a congregation too large to find room in his church. The galleries, the aisles and vestibule were jammed with the mass of humanity who tried to get within hearing of Dr. Madison it was generally understood that his subject ably surpass his efforts of Sunday night the week before. The pastor evidently was well prepared both with his sermon and to meet the large congregation and it has been since stated that few times in the past the Reverend has been labored with more than one in his work of last Sunday night. Dr Madison kept the cries of "amen" coming while he shot ball after ball into the target of "church members dancing." It was noticeable that some of his remarks were causing him to come some of his hearers but Dr. Madison fire upon that "pleasurable pastime for so many church folk"—dancing. Text of Sermon From the text Revolutions 2:20 the pastor drew his illustration. He contended that the church is its membership and the building only a place of worship. From this reasoning Dr. Madison deduced that when church members are on the Ball Room Floor, the church is there. And when the church is there, and members, know of this condition and silently acquiesce in it then it is conclusive that the entire church is on the ball room floor. Some of All Churches The minister said what he had been informed that some of the members of every church in the city dance, but from the next Church conference in Second Calvary, dancer-in-chief members be put under ban as a resolution will be adopted which will cause the suspension for thirty days of any member convicted by the Church Council of dancing. The minister, said Rev. Madison, many of them are telling the people that there is no harm in dancing, "but I am prepared to say that of the people who dance nine-tenths of them leave the hall immorally affect. And only those not affected in such a way that he be led by the strong temptation that comes to all on the ball room floor." Relates Biblical History With all of the eloquence and forerunner he could summon the minister declared that "Jozebel had been dead for centuries, but the sins committed by her were awakened from generation interrupted by the incarceration of Thyraba and because of that the Lord gives John a message to this church asking that they would drive it out or they would be destroyed by the eating cancer. And if dancing is not wiped out of the church of today he is accused and sin will sweep the country." "It is in the minds of many preachers and other leading people that a little respectable dancing is of no harm," said Rev. Madison, "but dancing is breaking down the church and further countenanced, the pews in renovated may as well be built renovated may as well be built dancing after service and probably larger congregation will attend." "Heathenism," declared Rev. Madison "will return to civilized countries when the sin of dancing drives out religion and fervent Christian worship. Every preacher should lift his arm against this thing that is threatening the church before it devours us." The pastor stated, in effect that young women are being loss today because of the dance craze. Rev. Madison announced that on next Sunrise he will deliver a sermon on the subject, "From the Ball Room to Hell."

President Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute A glance at the facts regarding Nogro education in Virginia reveals several rather interesting conditions, which, though not altogether satisfactory in their nature, point to the presence of constructive forces at work on the educational facilities for Nogroes in this state. abrent of the times so that when Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones made his survey based on the census report of 1910, he found Virginia far behind other states of the North and West and even below many of her Southern neighbors. Nogroes of Virginia then numbered 671,096, 32.6% of the population. They owned or rented 2,223,883 acres of land. Negroes in Virginia and elsewhere made so short a step forward in the long period between 1619 and 1861 that the work of education could scarcely be said to have been begun, however remarkable that step was. In fact, the education of Negroes had been made a criminal act since 1819 and Virginia free Negroes had to go to Washington and Baltimore to satisfy their desire for the little knowledge which was in more ways than one a dangerous thing in those days. During the period of reconstruction, however, little schools appeared over-night like mushrooms and there and everywhere, and all were crowded with all classes of Negroes, young and old, anxious to learn what they could of the three R's. First Public Schools In 1870. Virginia gave her Negroes their first public schools in 1870. Twenty-four Negroes, members of the constitutional convention of 1867, urged the establishment of such schools and they were made possible by constitutional provision. Those who attended the schools from 1871 to 1885 remember that a large number of the teachers were white and that the course of study compared favorably with those of the white schools, especially in the city systems. In some instances reports show that Negro attendance was better than white.

GANDY, President BUSINESS LEAGUE EDITION abreast of the times so that when Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones made his survey based on the census report of 1910, he found Virginia far behind other states of the North and West and even below many of her Southern neighbors. Negroes of Virginia then numbered 671,966, 32.6% of the population. They owned or rented 2,223,883 acres of farm land, but 30 out of every 100 were illiterate as compared with an average of 8 out of every 100 whites; in some places there were as many as 18 illiterate colored persons to one white. In spite of the fact that there was a high school for white children in nearly every county, 888 in all, the survey shows only 6 in the entire state for colored, 3 of which offered three year courses, the other three being really accredited schools. The latest reports from Richmond show 7 public high schools, the increase being made up of the three second grade schools already mentioned and one other, a very poor showing for 12 years of unusual educational activities in other parts of the country. The majority of the white pupils of secondary grade are in public schools, while the majority of the colored children who wish a high school education must still pay for it in the county, the large of the state or migrate to the large northern cities where both secondary and higher education are offered free to all. On the other hand, the number of county training schools has increased since 1910 from 4 to 23. They are scattered over the state in as many counties as numbered and the hope is that each of them will develop speedily into full four year high schools even if the courses offered are of the agricultural and industrial type. In 1910 there were 26'private institutions worthy of mention. Fortunately their number has not increased; war conditions prevented premature developments of that sort; those which have survived have made Virginia The ted by the State a following advantage FALL QUART N.

Private Institutions SECOND SECTION NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1922 M. A. DR. JOHN M. GANDY appreciable improvements in their courses of study, equipment and dormitory facilities. The greatest need in these private institutions, as in the entire school system of the South, is greater consolidation of material resources and standardization of admission requirements, courses offered, instruction given and equipment of laboratories. Of these the Manassas Industrial Institute, Thyne Institute, St. Paul Normal and Industrial Institute, Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Virginia Union University and Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, all have accredited high school departments all with all work. Virginia Union University was the only institution which offered work of collegiate grade for a number of years and it stands out with the Virginia Seminary and the Bishop Payne Divinity School for their courses in theology. Hampton makes a great contribution not only in its trade and agricultural courses but also in its recently stated in- tention to offer college courses in agriculture and education. Its grounds, equipment, traditions and ideals are the pride of the state. State Appropriations For years prior to the war period the annual appropriation to the State Normal school for colored people was $22,000. That amount has been increased gradually since 1910 until 1920 the appropriation known as the Morrill-Nelson Fund was transferred from Hampton to the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, giving-Virginia a Land Grant College similar to those of other states in the South and West. With that appropriation, with contributions from the General Education Board, and with money received because the Smith-Hughes Act became the income of the institute has been sufficient to increase the enrollment from 681 in 1915 to 1780 in 1921, and the number of courses from four to eight. Attendance and Equipment Negroes everywhere are being criticised for their low rate of attendance and for the large percentage of pupils out of school. We rejoice that the enforcement of compulsory school laws will soon take care of that situation. Our experience with large numbers of schools has taught us, however, that indifference is not the sole cause of non-attendance. The survey of the Virginia Educational Commission of 1917-18 showed that the majority of the public schools of the state were not held in school houses at all, but in lodge halls and abandoned dwellings, "poorly built, wretchedly equipped and" in many cases impossibly worn. The average salary of colored teachers of the state was $31.21 per month for men and $72.82 for women, $156 to $187 per year. The salary of the average teacher must have been $5 to $10 per month lower. In one county we know the average annual pay was less than $100. It cost the state $2.74 in teacher's salary to keep a colored child in school a year and $9.64 in teacher's salary to keep a white child there the same length of time. Most of the quibs and jokes so familiar regarding the poorly paid service of teachers are told of the. $9' teacher. Who can be surprised then that with such poorly paid teachers Negro children were more than 33 1-3% (Continued on Page Thirteen) PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA THE BROOKLYN PRESS BRIEF HISTORY OF NORFOLK COLORED PUBLIC SCHOOLS BRIEF HISTORY OF NORFOLK COLORED PUBLIC SCHOOLS By D. G. JACOX President of the State Teachers' Association. Principal Booker T. Washington High School In the early seventies, seven schools for white children and one for colored children were established in the city of Norfolk. The school for colored children was established on what was then known as North Street. This thoroughfare is known now as Fourth Street. This building had six-class rooms. Mr. Robert Bagnall was the first principal. He was capable and efficient. Later Prof. R. A. Tucker, with two assistants, was given charge of a building to be used for school purposes. This was located on Bute Street. There nine teachers labored assiduously for several years; unable by any means to cope with the educational needs of the large school population of Norfolk. It was not a strange thing then to see seventy-five or eighty children crowded into one class room. These conditions lasted several years. In 1886 the S. C. Armstrong school, a ten room building, was erected. This was the first effort made toward increasing the school facilities for the boys and girls of our race. With the opening of the S. C. Armstrong school, new life was put into the school work. Two years later, Mr. R. A. Tucker, was placed in charge of this building as principal. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR COMPARATIVE SHOWING OF EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH Six Million Whites and Two Million Colored Children Are In Public Schools of the Southern States. Whites Attend More Regularly. Average Term For Whites, 148 Days; For Colored, 111 Days. The report of the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Education for 1917-1918, the latest report available, reveals some very interesting facts relative to the comparative educational advantages of the white and colored children of the South. The report covers a survey of 17 States, namely: Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. as effective teaching can be done in the colored as in the white schools as each colored teacher carries a teaching load of 56 pupils, while the white teacher has a teaching load of 36 pupils. This factor may account for the higher per centage of irregular attendance of colored than among the white pupils." DISTRIBUTION BY SEX The report also shows that there are more than twice as many colored girls as boys in the high schools of the South in the elementary schools It shows that there are six million white children of school age in these states attending school and two million colored children in attendance. That is, 77 percent of the white children who are eligible to attend are taking advantage of their opportunity, while 64 per cent of the colored children are doing the same. The six million white children are being taught by 175,000 teachers, and the two million colored children are receiving instructions under 36,000 teachers. The Bureau comments on this situation as follows: "It is doubtful if Mr. Bagnall having resigned. Soon after this the school authorities began to erect other larger and better buildings. The present building on Queen Street, known as the J. H. Smythe School, was given for the use of colored children, with Prof. S. H. Bell as principal. The year 1908 which marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Norfolk Mission College, is remarkable for the following incident: At the close of the anniversary, exercises three citizens, viz: Benjamin R. Boulding, R. H. Cross and the president of the College Alumni, sent together on the steps at the door of the residence of Dr. P. L. Barbour, and resolved that they would work and work until the city of Norfolk should give colored people a school system with more buildings and more 8. Courses in Instrumental Music. 9.

(continued on Page Ten) as effective teaching can be done in the colored as in the white schools as each colored teacher carries a teaching load of 56 pupils, while the white teacher has a teaching load of 36 pupils. This factor may account for the higher per centage of irregular attendance of colored than among the white pupils." DISTRIBUTION BY SEX . The report also shows that there are more than twice as many colored girls as boys in the high schools of the South. In the elementary schools there are a slightly larger proportion of girls than boys. Only a little over 1 per cent of the colored pupils of South are to be found in the high schools. While 7.5 per cent of the white pupils are in high schools. The bureau further comments that this is a very low per centage compared with the white average when it shows that only one colored pupil out of every hundred is in high school. In short, over seven times as many white as colored pupils are found in the secondary schools of the South. LENGTH OF TERM It is found that the average school term for the colored children is 111 days while that for the white children is 148 days. In the elementary schools of six Southern States the school term averaged for the colored children 166 days and for the white 145 days. In the secondary schools the difference of the length of school term is not so great as in the elementary schools, being 165 days for the white and 153 days for the colored. It is further found that the average attendance for the white pupil is 100 days while the corresponding attendance for the colored pupil is 78 days. It is therefore shown that the colored child gets only about seventh as much schooling as the white child in the Southern States. The report comments that a part of this is the fault of the colored child, as he wastes about 37 per cent of the school term while the white child loses only about 32 per cent. titute ate.

ELNATHAN HALL YOUNG WOMEN'S DORMITORY Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn. STATE MAINTAINS NOR FOR TRAINING OF NEG Progress of Virginia Normal a tute Shown In Figures. So markable Strides Since 191 . The progress of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute and the attitude of the people of the State towards it can best be shown by the use of comparative figures, running over a period of nine years from 1912 to 1921. The growth in the number of students can be seen from the following facts: In 1912, the enrollment of the institute was 114. In 1921, it increased to High School and 253 in the Elementary School. From 1912 to 1921, there was a gradual and constant increase in the enrollment. In 1921, it reached 1186. Of this number, 114 were High School and 66 in Vestational Courses in Agriculture, Auto-Mechanics, electricity, and carpentry; and 298 in the Elementary School. In 1912, the enrollment in the Summer School was 189; in 1921, 601. In the regular school, an annual increase in enrollment of 85 per cent and in the Summer School of 265 per cent. This is a remarkable growth in view of the fact that students outside of the state are, for the most part, not admitted to the regular school. Virginians constitute 99 per cent. If the Institute had the necessary foundation, equipment, and teaching force and if it should open its doors unconditionally within the limitations of scholarship and charitable aid, it would have an enrollment of 1800 or 2000 students. The growth in the number and strength of the faculty is no less marked. In 1912, there were 27 workers in the institute. This number included administrative officers, teachers, and students. Eight or 29 per cent of the entire number held college or university degrees. There was one worker for every 24 students. In 1921, there were 73 workers, one for every 16 students. Thirty-three workers held college and university degrees. Among the institutions represented on the teaching staff were, University of Rhode Island, Amherst College, Boston University, Springfield College, University of Michigan, University of Texas, Howard University, Fisk University, Atlanta University, and Talladega College. For many years, there has been a spirit of growth among the teachers of the Institute. This is evidenced by the large number of teachers who go to the Summer school, summer, two teachers are in Harvard University, one in Boston University, five in Columbia University, and six in the University of Chicago. BRIEF HISTORY OF NORFOLK SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 10) teachers. The result was the opening of the Lott-Carey school and the promotion of Prof. Bell to the office of its principal. He was given eight teachers. The greatest growth of our schools dates from 1911, when the Lambort's Point, Huntersville and Barboursville were annexed to the City of Norfolk. Up to this time less than fifty teachers and two thousand children were included in our schools. With the addition of this territory the School Board of Norfolk recognized the fact that in order to care for the large number of colored boys and girls living in the newly added territory, additional facilities, other buildings and annexes were necessary. The annexation of Barboursville in 1911 gave the city the beginning of the present Booker T. Washington High School. The Barbouvailville school was known as then as it is now, and the old Wash. School. The work of this school became known because it included a stronger literary course than any other colored high school of the South. Four years at high school were being given English, History, Science, Latin and Domestic Art, and three and one-half years of Mathematics. This fact soon became the colored educators, some of them employed in Normal schools, and they proceeded at once to raise their courses of study to four years of high school work. to much praise cannot be given to Superintendent, R. A. Doble for the stand he took in giving colored bows and girls a fair chance. The first class graduated from a Moffolk High school, in June, 1914. To the present time, three hundred and ninety-six boys, and girls have been educated in the world better, and have to live in. One hundred and thirty-seven of these young people have sought college and university education. Some of them have fin ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn The development of the Institute is in keeping with the plans and purposes of its former President. Prior to his death, he outlined plans for many of the accomplishments mentioned above. ished courses in law, the ministry, dentistry, the teaching profession, etc. At the present time there are mainstores of the school. We separate schools for the education of colored children. Six of these are elementary schools and one is a high school. There are enrolled in these schools more than six thousand elementary school children and five hundred and fifty-nine attend the high school. The salaries of colored teachers rank favorably with those paid colored teachers anywhere south of Washington and Baltimore. There was no standard scale of salaries prior to 1912. The latest scale that in force at the present time, includes annual salaries based on efficiency and length of service. It has been in operation since 1920-21. We fully believe that so soon as the rank and file of our teachers become more efficient; by attending summer schools, reading the literature of the profession and studying its problems and methods of solving them, the school board will raise the scale of salary at least one-third higher and augment it until sufficient amount is paid to enable the teacher to really study, to travel and do research work. And yet the end is not yet. The city School Board, on July 13, 1922, went on record as endorsing tentative plans for the erection of a "combination" building. This structure will contain sixty rooms, to cost about three different schools are proposed to be conducted within it: viz. Elementary, vocational and high school. With the present school board, Dr. C. R. Grandy as its chairman, and Mr. C. W. Mason, its superintendent, the forty-five thousand colored people of Norfolk need have no fear for the future education of their youth. Such is the history of the colored schools of the City of Norfolk. From humble beginnings the advance has been ready, 'till now we already have offered education maintained and controlled by the city courts. wit hthe coming years, move intersubject in education as evinced by our colored fathers and mothers, and a better understanding between the races, Norfolk must soon come into possession of a school system for colored youth that will be second to none in the United States. The institute believes that the most powerful agency for the education of the youth 'is the teacher. It thus puts forth special effort' to bring teachers of unusual training and in contact with its student body. Growth in organization has kept pace with the increase in the number of teachers and students. In 1912, all the work of the Institute was organized under the High School and High School grade. The work of High School grade was done in Agriculture and Home Economics. There were no recognized heads of departments. The entire work was under the immediate supervision of the President. In 1921, there were two High School, High School, the Normal School, Home Economics School, Trade School, and Music School. Each school was under the immediate control of a director who is responsible to the director of the school. The proper direction and control of his school. In addition to this organization, each department of knowledge has its head who is responsible to the Director of the School in which the work falls. The extra-class activities of the department of knowledge in 1921, there were three different committees composed of members of the faculty. The aim of the Institute is to make every teacher feel a personal responsibility for the proper conduct of the Institute. The aim of the exhibition of a democratic rather than an autocratic spirit. Growth in the means of support and in development of the plant and equipment has been encouraging. In 1920, the Legislature the largest appropriation in its history. Within the last seven years, the acreage of the Institute has been greatly increased. There are now 103 acres of land, seventy buildings have been added to the plant. The Main Building has been renovated and parts of it reconstructed for convenience and cleanliness. Class room equipment has been renovated and grown in five houses have been provided, and concrete walls have been laid. New sewer lines have been laid and a safe and adequate water system has been installed. In 1920, a plan plot for future development of the Institute was made by expert architects. M. DR. JAMES E. SHEPHERD Founder and President National Training School, Durham, N. C. National Training School, Durham The National Training School, under the progressive leadership of Dr. James E. Shepherd, its president and founder, forms a worth while link in North Carolina's commendable school of great usefulness that such an institution as National Training would be to the youth of the race, Dr. Shepherd set about to bring into realization his dream. He dreamed well and women of the race were given to his work and vision hundreds of the young men and women of the race annually take their place in the complex cast of the world's activities between us and women in our wellness and earn for themselves a more respectable livelihood. The institution is in a progressive state, having a property value of $105,000 and 13 instructors. Up-to-date methods of instruction are employed at the school and the work of Dr. Shepherd deserves the commendation of his fellows, the appreciation of his race and the gratitude of mankind. Dr. Shepherd is one of the foremost educators of the race. A pedagogue whose life work has been employed among that element of his people whose educational opportunities are in many respects circumscribed. NEGRO NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED STATES Approximately one thousand one hundred and ninety-eight Negroes, in virtually every trade and occupation, and sixty-one white workers, form the working personnel of 113 newspapers and 14 magazines owned and operated by the District of Columbia and the District of Columbia. The grand total of 1,259, which also includes approximately 185 Negro female workers, is made up of the following trade increments: Proprietors or managers 204, editoror and clerical workers 393, foremen 69, compositors 101 linotype operators 70, typographers 69, proofreaders 38, floormen 69, proof-readers 47, stereotypers 2, electrotyping 2, pressmen 84, bookbinders 36, mailers 104, and all other tradesmen 38. The 61 white workers, aside from 4 of their number who exclusively comprise the electrotyping and sterotyping occupations of the 127 publications, studied, are sparsely distributed from type operators to mailers, and other skilled-to-unskilled occupations. The 127 papers and periodicals are further classified as 96 secular, 23 religious and 8 fraternal publications, of whose number 98, 22 and 8 are published weekly, monthly and daily, respectively. Two are bilingual, the remaining two, one is a bi-weekly and one is a quarterly publication. Sixty-three of the above publications maintain and operate their own presses, and an additional seven conduct a general printing and publishing business for contract work of a book or job nature. The com- These statistics are taken from a summary of the newspapers and publishing industry prepared by Phil H. Brown of the U. S. Department of Labor, who conducted an inquiry among the 350 publications listed with the number as of 1918. Of this number, 42 have published publication since that year, and 181 of the smaller pagers failed to respond. WHO'S WHO AMONG THE RACE IN VIRGINIA In the 1922 edition of Who's Who in America appear the names of two colored Virginians, Nathaniel R. Dett, of Hampton and Dr. John M. Gandy, of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Dett earned a place in the volume through his contributions in the field of music and Dr. Gandy through his leadership in Education. Both Dr. Gandy and Mr. Gandy long ago earned the gratitude and appreciation of their race. THE COURT OF THE UNION Entrance to Campus, Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn. The Building is the McMillan Chapel. HALF A MILLION ENDOWNENT BEING RAISED FOR KNOXVILLE COLLEGE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL General Education Board Has Made Gift of $125,000.00. Knoxville College, located at Knoxville, Tenn., is completing an endowment fund of a half million dollars. This institution was founded by the United Presbyterian Church for seven years ago for the education of the colored youth. Throughout all the years of its history it has been maintained by this church, and in recent years has been receiving an annual grant, ultimately $30,000 for current expenses. But in order that the college might be placed upon a still firmer foundation and provide for the increasing number and raising standards of education an increase in endowment to raise an endowment of $500,000. Toward this endowment the General Educational Board, with headquarters in New York City, has made a gift of $125,000 conditioned upon the completion of the remainder of the half million dollar fund. This is one of the largest grants ever made by any Negro college. It was made after careful investigation of the work of the institution. At this writing this endowment fund has been completed with the exception of some fifty thousand dollars and the end is in sight. Knoxville College is one of the well established colleges for the education of Negro youth. It was founded in 1875 and over ten years hence will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary. Approximately eight hundred students have been graduated from the various departments of the institution. As a class they are occupy- A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE ing positions of trust and honor in the various states. Knoxville College believes in the development, of the mental, physical, and moral man. This institution is noted, somewhat, among colleges for its strong spiritual and moral atmosphere, and not for墨握 the intellectual developments, the faculty of Knoxville College believes that intellectual development without a moral background makes a one-sided character, if not a dangerous one. The half million dollar endowment financed by the institution will help to perpetuate the course of Christian education which has meant so much in the development and the success of the race in the past. A Greater Morris Brown University The Chancellor, President, and Trustees of Morris Brown University are planning a Greater Morris Brown University. The recent purchase of the city school adjoining Morris Brown went a long way in that direction, but, they propose now to enlarge the dormitory space; improve the various departments now operated by the university; and force of instructors; and to add new departments necessary to complete University System. In order to do this, a drive for $100,000 has been launched under the direction of Bishop Flipper. Each drive costs $200,000 and each large church $200,000. Atlanta is expected to contribute $25,000 and solicitors have been appointed to canvass the city, which canvassing will end on the fourth day. When a mass meeting will be held at which time the solicitors will report. r Better Citizens We are taking this method of soliciting the unstinted support of everybody, both colored and white, Morris-Brown University is particularly the best unique school in the city, in that it has been supported almost wholly by Negro people. Now that it is seeking the aid of the white people in this drive, we are sure that they will give liberally. We are sure, too, that the colored people realize the importance of Morris Brown, and the need of better equipment for it, and that they are going to respond more liberally than ever.

This college course leads to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Education. The Business School offers a two-year course, which leads to the Business-School Diploma. The Home-Economics School offers a two-year normal course, based on four years of secondary study, which aims to train teachers of home economics, home-demonstration agents, and industrial supervising teachers. This course leads to the Home-Economics Diploma. Hampton Institute, famous for training Booker T. Washington and Robert R. Moton, both of Tuskegee, sent 800 graduates and former students into the World War. Many Hamptonians went overseas and became members of combatant units. Many served as commissioned and non-commissioned officers. All made fine records. Hampton Institute—the pioneer industrial school for Negroes and Indians, founded by Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong over 54 years ago—is giving excellent vocational training to disabled Negro soldiers in powerplant management, automobile repair, poultry keeping, shoe repair, tailoring, business, methods, agriculture, cabinentmaking, upholstery, machine work, and carpentry. The Rev. Dr. James E. Gregg, formerly of Pittsfield, Mass., is the principal. An Industrial Village Hampton Institute is also giving to 850 boarding students (600 boys, 350 girls), 500 day-school pupils, and 600 summer-school teachers exceptional educational opportunities for all round training. Hampton has sent out over 2000 graduates and 8000 former students. Hampton Institute is an educational demonstration station where three races work out daily the problems of every day life. It is an industrial and educational village—with well-kept brick dormitories; large dining-halls; and an unbeatable beautiful community auditorium with seating capacity of 2500 persons; a school church; a modern library; a large gymnasium; sixty-five houses for Institute workers; a general store; light, power, heating, and refrigeration plants; a brick, two-story trade school, with 50,000 square feet floor space; steam and hand laundry, extensive, well-stocked farms; large library for academic, agricultural, and homo economics classes; and other valuable equipment for training efficient. Christian community leaders. Hampton Institute overlooks the historic and beautiful Hampton Roads, where the battle between the "Monitor" and "Merrimac", which revolutionized naval warfare, was fought during the American Civil War. Today Hampton Institute is visited annually by the representatives of local, state, national, and mission- SCHOOL BATTALION ary educational institutions. Many people come from foreign lands to study Hampon's educational aims and methods. Those who have visited Hampton have carried to the ends of the earth a message of racial good will, industrial efficiency, and service—all based on rational, Christian principles. Hampton Institute still follows General Armstrong's motto: It pays to follow one's best light—to put God and country first; ourselves afterwards." Courses Now Offered Hampton Institute in its present organization offers courses in four schools of normal and of college grade—Agricultural School, standard, four-year course (thirty-six months), leading to the bachelor of science degree in agricultural education; Business School, two-year course; Home-Economics School, two-year course; and Normal School, four courses, one of which is a standard, four-year college course, leading to the bachelor of arts degree in education. Hampton also offers courses in two schools of secondary grade—Academy, secondary, four-year course, and Trade School, secondary, four-year courses in eleven trades; Automobile Mechanics, Bicklearning, Cabin making, Carpentry, Machina Work-painting, Printing, Steamfitting and Plumbing, Tailoring and Wheelwrighting. Hampton Men in Khaki Promptness, alertness, self-control, endurance, and respect for authority are taught some five hundred Negro and Indian boys at Hampton. Major Allen W. Washington, a Hampton graduate and president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, is the commandant. All the boys at Hampton belong to the School's junior unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps of the U. S. Army and receive the military training which is prescribed by the War Department. The military organization of the boys at Hampton makes it possible for the students to have a good deal of self-government, especially in their dormitory life. The dormitory janitor, instead of having to endure the customary jibs of his fellows, is a commissioned officer in the school battalion and is for his dormitory a real disciplinarian—an official regre HAMPTON, VIRGINIA sentative of the school commandant. The dormitory janitor gives orders at Hampton that students must obey. Armstrong's Aims Realized Today many thousands of people are becoming to realize for the first time the wisdom of General Armstrong's doctrine that "selected Negro youth" should be so trained that they would "go out and teach and lead in people"; that these prospective leaders should not be given "in dollar that they could earn for themselves"; that they should "teach respect for labor"; "replace stupid drudgery with skilled hands"; that they should "build up an industrial system for the sake not only of self-support and intelligent labor, but also for the suke of character." Hampton has carried out this aim successfully since 1888. Hampton expresses in its splendid equipment and able staff of workers, the confidence of the American nation in its wise educational policy of training Negro and Indian youth for intelligent, Christian service to all men, regardless of race, creed, or class. Hampton today commands the respect, good-will, confidence and support of thousands of thoughtful men and women, who are scattered throughout all the world, because of their Christian far-sighted work which its students have done under difficult and discouraging conditions. Tributes to Hampton "If the young women and a good many of the young men at Hampton devote their lives to the teaching of others and giving to others the advantages that they have gained, the work of that wonderful institution will be multiplied beyond any figure that we can possibly assume." —Julius Rosenwald, well-known philanthropist of Chicago. "Every time I think of Hampton, I get a new definition of education and a new ideal of human training. I believe that Hampton is, after all, the real American University. I believe that this institution comes nearer having found the clew to the maze in this great process of training people for life, in life and by life, than any other institution in the world." —Dr. Wallace Buttrick, president of the General Education Board.

It was founded one year after Lee's surrender at Appamattox, by Captain Charles S. Schaffer, of the Union Army, who was stationed as chief officer of the freedmen in this section in Western Virginia. He found conditions among the freedmen in this section similar to those found by General Armstrong in Eastern Virginia, and it is notable that he chose practically the same remedy for relief.

He therefore, built in 1866 with money begged in the North, a school house, which was the foundation of the present Industrial Institute, and established a church to which he was called as pastor and remained until his death in 1900. For a while he was both pastor of the church and principal of the school. The duties of both becoming too ardous, he relinquished the dhe $^{cc01}$ and suggested that a colored man succeed him.

Paid Claims to $3,072,189.00. Four Capital of $1,256,000.0 BY PHIL H. BROWN, (Commissioner of Conciliation, United States Department of Labor) Written for The Journal and Guide Results of a survey of the finances and personnel of the principal insurance companies operated by colored people in the United States, recently made by the Department of Labor, are interesting if not startling. The survey disclosed that there were twenty-five of these companies in the country with distribution of home offices as follows: Four in North Carolina; four in Georgia, two in Kentucky; two in Georgia, two in Louisiana, two in Florida, two Virginia and one each in the District of Columbia, Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland and South Carolina. Capitilization figures, which were readily available from only fourteen of the twenty-five companies, total $1,256,000.00. The total assets of all the companies are given at $6,339.198.59. During the last fiscal year these companies paid insurance claims of colored policy holders and other beneficiaries in the United States in the total amount of $3,072,189.00. These concerns employ 5,575 colored personnel, 527 colored employees, 3,968 field agents, 1,82 medical examiners and 557 miscellaneous employees, to whom was paid a monthly amount of $259,728.10, either in salaries or commissions. A LUSTY INFANT This remarkable development though an incentive for pardonable pride, is but a gesture toward a situation wherein the insurance protection of the Negro will be underwritten by the Negro himself, an eventuality which can be neither deplored nor denied. There is no gaisaying the existence of a cumulative reluctance upon the part of old established companies to accept the Negro as a risk. One well known white company, which has for upward of thirty years fattened upon Negro insurance business, and at present carries 1,775,000 colored policy holders in its various grades of contracts, has suddenly discolored the death rate among colored people is 60 per cent higher than that among the whites. This is the assumption that is general among the white companies, and the inclination to add perceptibly to cost of premiums to this class is so irresistible that it needs no persuasion. No doubt this is one of the reasons for the splendid showing of the colored companies; they came along at a psychological moment and fell hier to a profitable field which had been abandoned by the old established concerns. The other and more commendable reason is that the management of this infant industry among the colored people are in most part men of acute business acumen, who are care- PHIL H. BROWN fully consulting overhead cost of administration and the economical conduct of their respective concerns. SMALL WHITE COMPANIES The drift of this abandoned business is by no means entirely directed to colored control. On the contrary, there are seventeen concerns, organized and capitalized by white people, that are established for the obvious purpose of taking over the risks of the colored people as they are refused by the decompanies, the gleaners and some workers of the industry are flying a profitable trade by capitalizing the indifference of the pioneers. These facts should bestir and warm up the sleeping or frozen capital of colored people, which has been strongly predisposed to chase every alluring investment rainbow under the blue sky. The simple matter of racial employment is a modicum of commanding consideration. After the average white company pays off its contract for actual benefits its responsibility to the Negroes ceases. In very few cases do these concerns offer employment to the classes of people from whom they draw their patronage. It takes six persons to operate every one thousand units of industrial insurance. Since the one company cited above has 1,775,000 colored policy holders, this concern alone sequesters from our colored boys and girls 29, jobs that should be rightfully theirs. Should the ultimate obtain and the Negro underwrite himself this company would tour over to him by way of employment compensation a monthly racial distribution of $921, 142.12.

Negro Education In Virginia (Continued from Page 10) out of school. Over 50% absent daily and usually one or two years retarded, over age, flackward, unpromoted and ready to drop out of school by the time they reach the grade. Fortunately compulsory school laws, are forcing our children back to school, nearly all the counties have a compulsory school attendance law of modified type. There is scarcely a community anywhere in the state which cannot point to improved or new buildings the cost of which has been largely borne by colored people. Even in 1917-18 they had built 49 Rosenwald schools at a cost of $25,000 to themselves in order to match the $22,000 in Rosenwald gifts. In 1921-22 above 25 additional Rosenwald schools were built, at least one-third of their cost being paid by the colored people. In spite of their willingness to build schools as shown by the fact that they raise $50,000 annually for such purposes, $13,000 would be needed to build Rosenwald schools in 1921 and $8,000 in 1922 went back to Chicago from Virginia through indifference of county boards or officials. This same Educational Commission advised that money appropriated by the state for colored children be spent for them, and not diverted to the support of white schools, a condition "thoroughly unjust and not to be tolerated." City Schools The improvement in city school buildings and equipment has been a little more satisfactory. In 1915 no report was made of new buildings, in 1917-18 Portsmouth entered its new high school costing $80,000, while Petersburg was building a high school costing $100,000, year 1921-22. Hampton and Richmond started buildings costing $45,000 and $32,000 respectively. Thousands of dollars have been put into buildings of the 23 county training schools. Teaching Force Inadequate The teaching force of Virginia has always been and is still inadequate. In 1910 the annual output of all the teacher training institutions of the state including those of elementary grade was 350 and there were only 2,430 teachers for the 153,827 children of school age. Since then the school population has increased to 182,069; to meet the greater need of teachers, certificates are granted the graduates of thirty or more institutions of secondary rank, but these certificates are limited to short periods of time and may only be renewed by further study on uniform normal courses planned for both the white and colored teacher-training institutions of the state. After 1925 no second grade certificates will be granted; this will eliminate a large number of poorly prepared teachers; emergency certificates, which have been the bane of so many rural Woodrow Wilson says: "We are in this world to provide not for ourselves but for others, and that is the basis of economy." The man who would provide for his family and aid in the development of national economy will insure his life. It is the safest and most certain way to provide for the future. The amount of insurance you carry is an indication of your financial judgment and unselfish purpose in life. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE schools, have already been placed under the ban and there is every indication that, the State Board of Education means to see that all the teachers of the State are professionally trained. length four some and i 3rd teach The State Normal. The State Normal School at Petersburg has been steadily improving its courses since the re-organization of the normal department in 1915. West Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina and Delaware recognize all its graduates who hold professional certificates. The school year has been extended to include four quarters of twelve weeks, with opportunities to all teachers to raise their certificates to professional rank through summer study. The Educational Commission of 1917-18 recommended that as soon as the Institute is sufficiently improved in buildings, equipment and adequate teaching force that a "second normal school must be established." In addition to the professional training possible at the schools already mentioned, summer schools are held by the state as well as by the Romney St. Paul, Virginia Union, and Hampton, the minimum term being six weeks. Extension courses are offered by Hampton, Virginia Union and the Virginia Normal. Supervision. Improvement has been made in the supervision of the colored schools of Virginia. Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke and Lynchburg have for several years had special supervision of the primary and grammar grades or of the various subjects of the curriculum. Other cities are gradually realizing the need of closer supervision than that of principal and superintendents. This is a field which should attract young colored teachers of ability and ambition. In the counties remarkably fine work has been done by the Jeanes Fund supervising teachers. Virginia had the first teacher of that type in the South in 1908 and it employed its first State Agent of Negro Rural Schools in 1910. Since then all the states by which they have taught and there are over 300 Jeanes supervisors; in 1922 Virginia had 54. By their effort more practical courses of study have been introduced and hundreds of communities have been organized for self-help. The Negro Organization Society and various branches of the Negro State Teachers Association, have served a similar purpose, organizing the people and creating public sentiment in favor of education. Outlook The outlook for Negro education is bright, the outlook for every movement is bright so long as it is moving upward and forward, but we believe there are three needs to be emphasized. First, Virginia needs to make its Land Grant "College" a college in deed and in truth. This college should be measured fully up to the standards set by the Carnegie foundations for American colleges. It should have its department of research and investigation to study the causes and effects of forces at work in Virginia, to meet Virginia needs and to reveal Virginia opportunities. 2nd. It needs to standardize its elementary and secondary schools for Negro children, placing a well graded school within easy reach of every child and a high school within reasonable distance. Standardization includes provision for Laboratories, lengthening the school term from four or five months more or less in some places, to nine months in all, and it means well-trained teachers. 3rd. Virginia needs to pay their teachers a living wage. The same Educational Commission which we have quoted so frequently in this article states that "as a body, the Negro teachers of Virginia manifest an earnestness of purpose, a sense of social responsibility and an eagerness to perform their duties properly, which leave little to be desired." We get Uniskillin teachers better pay than colored teachers in Virginia." We believe Virginia is waking up to her responsibility. We are omitting greater reference to the need of library facilities, more efficient supervision, claims for schools for defectives and dependents; we are simply stressing the above as the three most vital needs. With these conditions met the future education in Virginia is assured and our state will climb up from its place near the foot of the list of states to a place more befitting its age and historical associations. THE CHRISTIANBURG INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE {Continued from Page 12.} buildings and equipment, makes the value of the plant over $200,000. Starting with five teachers doing only primary work, the institution today employs eighteen teachers and a trained nurse, and its graduates receive a first grade certificate to teach in the Virginia public schools. What the Christiansburg Industrial Institute has done for the Negro has been made possible by the generosity of the Quakers. They became affiliated with the work shortly after Captain Schaffer founded it, and by 1896, when it was changed to an industrial school, they had assumed antireal control of its management. The high class of work for which Friends have always been noted has ever been characteristic of Christiansburg. They have been quite liberal in supplying means to meet needs, but they have done more. Their keenly active Board of Philadelphia business men and women have given much of their valuable time to its management. It is a fair statement to say that no Negro school anywhere, receives more careful supervision than Christiansburg. The aim is to keep up the standard maintained by Friends schools everywhere. To those who know what Friends standards are this is a high recommendation. The hundreds of graduates and the thousands of former students who have been trained at Christiansburg are scattered widely over the country and are engaged in practically all forms of industrial activities. It is a worthy evidence of the moral character of the institution that no graduate of the school has been convicted of crime. A survey made by a Professor of the University of Chicago among fifteen institutions doing educational work among Negroes of the South, places Christiansburg at the head of the list, with a rating of 92.5 per cent. The academic department gives a full high school course with one year of Normal work, including practice teaching under expert supervision. The industrial department gives training in plain and fancy sowing and in Domestic Science, for girls; and in Carpentry, Printing, Blacksmithing an dagriculture for boys. burg is that all the work at the in- One unique feature at Christians-stitution is done by the students.

THIS COMPANY PLANS TO BE THE LARGEST AND STRONGEST COLORED FINACIAL INSTITUTION IN AMERICA It is a going concern, making money, and growing rapidly. Its object is to unite the money of the Colored people, for the benefit of the race in exactly the same way that white people unite their money for the benefit of their race, and to supply financial assistance to Colored men and women, or groups of Colored men and women, for every worthy object, including the extension of business, the building of homes, etc., where the security is sufficient and a profit to the Company is certain. It is nation-wide in scope. It expects to add to its already strong management the leading men of the race in the various states. We believe it will be of untold benefit to the race and very profitable to those who get in now. Allied Industrial Finance Corporation 1901 Seventh Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.

Wilmington, Delaware.—The colored citizens of the State of Delaware are seeking to promote a program of industrial and economic development. For the past few weeks numbers of important conferences have been held in sections of the State to which many prominent speakers have come and discussed problems of industrial and economic importance in race development. Perhaps the most important of these conferences was held at Ezion M. E. Church, Wilmington, Delaware on Monday evening, July 31st. By special invitation, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Washington, D. C., was the principal speaker. Dr. Scott was accompanied by James A. Cobb, an attorney of Washington, D. C., and Mr. Norvell, his secretary. INVOLUNTARY COMMITTEE INFILLED COMMITTEE Through the efforts of the Committee on Appointments, of which Dr. J. Bacon Stubbs, was chairman, and the important sub-committees of which Rev. W. C. Thompson was chairman of the Ministerial Committee, Dr. S. G. Elhert, chairman of the Music Committee. The conference was attended by a large and enthusiastic group of citizens of Wilmington and the surrounding Delaware cities. Among the members of the various committees were: Rev. C. W. Stewart, Rev.

Throughout the country with the rapid growth in the number of colored banking, insurance and other financial institutions, and with the growth of the principle of thrift, colored business men have felt the need of a great finance or trust corporation among us. The colored newspaper men of the country took up the insistent call and gave it editorial space in their papers. As one of our leading newspapers expressed it: "Race deposits should be at the service of business men of the race just as those of white depositors are at the service of white business men, and upon the same terms of accommodation." FOR PEOPLE'S INTEREST "In order to meet this long felt need and to insure the fullest development of the colored people along industrial and economic lines and to make them financially self sustaining, the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation has been formed. This institution will promote the financial interests of the colored people of America. For the first time in history an opportunity is opened to them to enter the financial field on equal terms with all others where they will receive the full earnings of their rey. It is an institution of the colored people—for the colored people, and by the colored people. The purpose of this company is to do for the 12,000,000 colored people of America exactly what is being done by hundreds of white companies of the same kind for the nearly 100,000,000 white people of our land, namely: 1. To help colored people in business. 2. To help colored people build homes. 3. To help colored people build churches, schools, colleges, hospitals, and other worthy institutions. 4. To help colored fraternal institutions in their building programs. 5. To help supply financial assistance to every colored man and woman group of colored men and women, and for every worthy object where proper security is given and a profit to the company is certain. WILL GROUP FINANCE "It is the belief of the management that the Allied Industrial France Corporation will eventually include the whole group of colored banking establishments and serve as a clearing house for these banks, for Life and Fire Insurance Companies, for manufacturing companies, for colored business generally. The corporation will (Continued on Page 15.) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR DESERVING YOUTH, MAKES MUCH PROGRESS The John. A.

THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Booker T.

But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement.

Tuskegee Institute founded by Booker T. Washington, nourished and developed by that great and illustrious leader until the time of his death in 1914, is ideally located for the accomplishment of the great and glorious task it has set for itself. Located on the plains of Alamaba in the heart of the great density of the Negro population and in a section where without its great usefulness, education of the Negro youth would be wo fully circumscribed, its influence has outretracted geographical limitations. The great institution draws into its environs young men and women from all parts of America and several foreign countries.

Splendid Environment In considering the full worth of an institution, loaining, some factors never listed in its curriculum, must be carefully weighed; that is its influence on the lives of its students, its environs, its social life, its contact, the effect of intermingling of its student body with students from widely separated sections of the country and foreign lands.

SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY of VIRGINIA Inc. SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY, VIRGINIA'S PIONEER INSURANCE COMPANY IS FORGING AHEAD SOUTHERN AND SOCIETY UNITED AIR FORCE A welcome awaits you always J. A. CARTER, President and General Counsel SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1922 The Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., was incorporated at Richmond, Va., in February, 1893, primarily to afford relief to our people during sickness, accident and death. The promoters of the project foe soefee promoters also saw in the project an opportunity to give employment to the many young women and men who yearly graduated from schools and colleges, and, other than the few who secured places as teachers, or entered the professions found no opening to use their training. During the first year of operation, the Society employed 10 persons and did a $700 business. The remaining employees nearly 500 persons in the State of Virginia and the District of Columbia and has an income of nearly $1,000,000.00. The Society has paid out two and a half million dollars during the past 28 years for claims to policy-holders. Only those who know something of the condition of our people, who have no protection during sickness and distress, can appreciate what a Godsands in the time of need. Poverty, sands in the time of need. Poverty, disease and want have been displaced by this plan of self-help and thrift. The Society possesses over $500,000.00 in stable assets—embracing cash, City, State and Federal Bonds, Mort- Tuskegee Institute (Continued from Page 14) and many foreign countries have been touched by the magic influence of Tuskegee, for its trained artisans are found on many parts of the globe, admirably fitting into civilization's scheme of advancement. Annually, the institution turns out hundreds of Negro men and women, traiend in the use of the brain and hand and whose contribution to the world's progress deserves the gratitude of mankind. Tuskegee maintains a department of Records and Research which annually compiles data on subjects of great import to the race and to the country. This department is in charge of Monroe N. Work, a recognized statistician, whose figures are taken as the last word on the subjects of which they treat. It was Tuskegee Institute that brought the lowly peanut into its present fame. It was from her laboratories the United States Congress sought information regarding the food value of this product and its potentialities for development. The scientific researches of the Institute annually add to the world's knowledge, and her great army of alumnae are building the Tuskegee principle in civilization's handiwork. Booker T. Washington's When the illustrious leader and founder of Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington, died the face looked with apprehension upon the nature of the keggee, it was thought more that his great leadership lost to the institution might result in a set back to its progress. But the fate of Tuskegee was in the hands of him who divides all things and Dr. R. R. Moton, then major of cadets of Hampton Institute, was chosen as the new head of the great institution. Subsequent events have proved the gages loans—to assist our people in securing homes and over $360,000.00 in select Real Estate. The Society recently bought the entire sick benefit debit of another Company. This step will insure employment for an additional number of our young people. The Society not only provides protection for its policy-holders and gives employment to hundreds: but by providing in times of need to its many policy-holders, makes it possible for colored doctors, druggists, bankers and those engaged in various other callings to profit by the circulation of the policy of the Department in the policy of constructing modern office buildings in the various cities where it operates, makes it possible for our professional and business interests to have suitable quarters—like the best had by other, races—in which to display their talents and wares and to do better business. The Society's officers and directors are: James T. Carter, president and General Counsel, Edward Stewart, Vice-President; B. A. Cephas, Vice-President; A. Washington, Vice-President; W. E. Baker, Treasurer; B. L. Jordan, Secretary-Manager; W. A. Jordan, Asst. Secretary-Manager; C. N. Jackson, W. E. Randolph, A. D. Price, Jr. selection to have been a wise one. Dr. Moton took hold of the guidance of Tuskegee with supreme confidence in himself and Washington's ideal. There has been no set back to the institution. Indeed, it has marched right on. If there existed any unsteady confidence in Dr. Moton's ability to direct the institution it certainly has disappeared and the race and Nation feel that Dr. Moton was destined to carry on the great unfinished task of Tuskegee's founder. The advancement of the institution and the race is his ideal, his life, his dedication, his terminated will and exceptional ability make his people grateful for the blessings of a R. R. Moton. Tuskegee Institute is no place for sluggards. From early morn to taps, life at the school is full of doings. Drills, class-rooms, shops, farms etc., buzz with activity of the students. Social needs of the students are not overlooked and a well defined program of wholesome pleasure are a part of the student life. Health an disanitation at Tuskegee are ideal and the pleasant winters of Alabama make the school an ideal place for the student of very modest means. In fact, if a boy or girl is ambitious and worthy, the lack of funds will not deter him from the great opportunity of shining the student that Tuskegee offers. The student is too poor, none so rich that Tuskegee can't help. Her gates are open, her ideal is inscribed in the hearts of thousands of Negroes, she bids welcome to all, denies none who are worthy and life in her environs will fit any youth, male or female for better citizenship, to earn a better livelihood and fuller appreciation of self worth and the worth of the rest of human kind.

"I am immensely proud of the board of directors which is to have charge of the affairs of the corporation. They are gentlemen of outstanding influence and ability and enjoy to the largest possible extent the confidence of the public. They have already achieved decided success in the financial, industrial and other fields; and are in every way fitted by training and experience, also through their ability and expert knowledge, to carry on successfully the work of this great institution to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

Factories, steamship lines, places of amusement, business blocks, chain stores, department stores, etc., must be developed and established for the needs of ever-increasing millions of the huma nrace. The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation is determined to aid the colored people to embark in these activities with the help of and to take their place among the builders of the age. Thus they will enter the industrial-economic field with such backing that 'none can say them nay.' "We are in the process of reconstruction, after a World War of unparalleled destruction. The world must be rebuilt financially, as well as physically and spiritually. Institutions like the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation are absolutely necessary for the undertaking. We must be assured. Any competently managed financial institution must attain large success, and in that success its owners profit.
