JOHNSON PRESSING FOR HARDING PLAN In Strong Letter To Director Hines Points Out That Late President Desired, Colored Personnell. BEGS HIM TO KEEP FAITH WITH COLORED PEOPLE Washington, D. C., Aug. 27—Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee, makes public the following letter which he has written to Director Frank T. Hines of the Veterans Bureau, in which he begs of him to keep with him the colored people of this country by the Tuskegee hospital. The text of the letter, written on August 24, is as follows: "The last time I conferred with you—Mr. W. C. Matthews of Boston and Mr. John T. Risher of Washington being present—was when our late President was in Alaska and on the eve of his journey to France, he sent a letter that I recounted to you how the late President Harding had personally requested me to supply him for use in your bureau a complete list of the personnel and pay for the Tuskegee hospital. You will recall, as we both agreed, the President of this city colored from top to bottom. You will recall that I assigned you that the colored people of this country relief upon the acts of Congress under which the hospital was established, and that the committee establishing it said that the person to be sent to bottom, and this report of the committee was published as a Government document of the Treasury Department. "In my conference with you, General Hines, you will recall that I assured you that I did not think you would get one self-respecting colored man in this country to accept a place in that hospital so long as any white man was acting officially as a white officer you that that determination on the part of the colored people of this country has been intensified under deliberation, and the more they reflect and remember the committals of the committee establishing the hospital and the undoubted directions of the late President to make it colored, the more our opposition is determined against the white officer at that hospital. "You will recall that I advised with you that there was a law on the statute books of Alabama that made it a crime for a white person to treat colored patient or a colored person to treat a white patient in a public hospital in the State of Alabama. All those things the colored people of this country know, and may not be permitted, and that faith be kept with the colored people of the country in this behalf, and that the execution of the wishes and directions of President Harding, now dead be performed by the placing in that hospital of a colored personnel, which he so desired, and in accordance with the terms of your letter which you think this officer was embarking upon a trip from which, as the President, he never returned. "I beg to leave to advise with you that any colored man, who represents to you that the conscience of the colored race will be satisfied with anything less than this, is entirely fatuous and disingenuous, and I beg you "trust them not, they are feeling thee." "I am advised now that in addition to the abolishment of the work of the colored unit in the Veterans Bureau where no colored person in any capacity will have any chance to pass upon the claims of the colored Negroes who enlisted for services to the late world war, that now, by your orders, the Superintendent, the Executive Officer and the Clinician at the hospital are to be white men, in your office the names of colored persons qualified and equipped to fill these positions." "You will recall also, General, that I advised you that there is no currrel among colored people about the particular persons to fill these places, just so you appoint colored men to us. I think now there is time quite enough to reassure the colored people of the great department of the Govement is not set, against them, but putting a full-colored person, Sudegree at once, in keeping with the acts of Congress, the expressed wishes of the late President." dent Harding and you: letter of assurance to him that his wishes were being executed by you. "In conclusion, you will recall that I discussed the parade of the Ku Klux Klan and you remember we both agreed that this great Government would never confess its impotence to deal with a mob on its onserves; but the present arrangement of head officers to the colored man's mind is but a confession on the part of officers of this Government of the downfall of the United States Government to keep the Government from functioning where the Government itself should function. "Very faithfully yours, "HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON "Georgia Member of the Republican National Committee." SAYS PRESIDENT WILL BACK BILL AGAINST MOB SAYS PRESIDENT WILL BACK BILL AGAINST MOB Persons Close To Coolidge Thinks He Is Prepared To Urge Congress To Consider Measures Against Mobs. STATEMENT CREDITED TO EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Washington, Aug. 28—President Coolidge will recommend a strong and potent anti-lynching measure to the next congress, and promises to get behind it with all of the influence and power of the White House, is the announcement given out by C. Bassom Slemp, new Executive Secretary. It is understood that the President will not only ask for the enactment of all of the clauses in the Dyer Bill, but will prescribe that penalties and jurisdiction be incorporated for the punishment by the federal authorities of masked and hooded organizations engaged in atragues upon American citizens. Washington has remarked the characteristic reserve that has prevailed with the President upon his policies in general, but in the matter of stamping out lynching the Executive has broken the silence, and according to Mr. Slemp, he has broken it in a forceful and decisive manner. Recent depredations reported from Georgia and other points in the South, in which men and women have been flogged by masked bands and plowed by the President that he desires the anti-lynching measure to include penitence drastic enough to bring them to an end. It is expected here that the bill will meet with the same opposition from the Democratic members of Congress, particularly from the South, that appeared against the Dyer Bill. It will be remembered that Senator Underwood, leader of the minority and candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, obstructed a vote on that measure and threatened to stop the functions of the Government, with an infamous filibuster, rather than to allow the President to close to the President say that he lies the present emergent conditions will insure a favorable consideration of a new bill. At least the supposition obtains that with the long session of Congress, which comes in December, there will be offered sufficient time to fight the defenders of lynching to a finish. WORK ASKS $500,000 FOR HOWARD UNIV'TY WORK ASKS $500,000 FOR HOWARD UNIV'TY Secretary of Interior Work To Petition Congress For Big Appropriation. Washington, Aug. 28—Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, will ask Congress to appropriate $500,000 for the construction and equipment of an addition to the medical and dental school at Howard University here. Of the amount sought $130,000 is for equipment. These amounts, have been already included in the estimates of the appropriations of the Department of the Interior for the fiscal year 1925. Secretary sufficient it is due to the insufficient facilities for the education of the colored race in the medical and dental professions existing throughout the United States. At the present time the medical school of Howard University is being conducted in a small building. The proposed appropriation would be used to build a large structure, which would practically double its present capacity.

Crossland Accused of Conniving in Plan to Man the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital With a White Commander. Washington, D. C. Aug. 27—With the connivance of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, who was the technical assistant in charge of colored trainees, the colored division in the United States Veterans' Bureau—the one place where such a unit is sorely needed—has been abolished. This action was the result of a well concocted plan whereby Dr. Crossland was to be given a place at the Tuskegee hospital and his two chief assistants forced to go along with him or find other work. It is alleged that Mrs. Crossland, however, broke up the plan so far as it affects the doctor. It is said that she had her lawyer to write Director Hines, setting forth certain facts concerning her suit for divorce now pending in the courts of Missouri and stating that Dr. Crossland had failed to obey the orders of the court directing him to start temporary alimoney. The information was of such a startling nature, it is alleged, that Director Hines took the position that he could not appoint him because of the national scandal attached to his name. Although he has no duties to perform, Dr. Crossland is still retained upon the payroll of the Veterans' Bureau. One stenographer is assigned to him. His office force has been transferred to other divisions. P. H. Rooney has already been sent to the Tuskegee agency to be not assistant. Walter S. Burk, who was a sistant to Dr. Crossland, has been ordered to proceed to Tuskegee on September 1. The duplicity of Dr. Crossland is revealed in a number of letters and memorandums written to Director Hines and others concerning the Tuskegee hospital situation. The present plan of a white superintendent, a white executive officer, the Director is very largely his; for he wrote Director Hines that "it is going to take a combination of forces such as lagged level headed white man as Commanding Officer and some good sensible colored man who will co-operate on a fifty-fifty basis to handle this situation at the hospital." In a letter to Brigadier General Fate of August 1, at which time he was under the impression that he would be given a place at the hospital, Dr. Crossland wrote that "whatever white man is there as Commanding Officer, I shall be glad for him to run the hospital as a balance wheel until we can put the institution upon a firm basis, and give it to the country up and show the country at large the necessity of retaining him. I will gladly, assume that responsibility with my people and the public in general." Under date of August 17, he wrote Director Hines as follows: "It was somewhat surprising to me to see the statement, in the Sevier yesterday that colored men were going to greee hospital situation to President Calvin Coolidge without first getting a definite decision from you as to the outcome of the matter. "Dr. Moton visited my office and said that he was in favor of a 'mixed personnel' because he thought; I presume, it was in full accord with the request to the home of Dr. M. Q. Drascal, Thirteenth street, N. W., together with Dr. Kenney, who was driven from Tuskegee, and said that he wanted an entire colored personnel. A few months prior to that, Dr. Moton sent his secretary to see Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson, 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, N. W., and asked him to prepare a letter denouncing Moton for favoring a mixed staff in order that he would have something to show the white people as an excuse for changing from his former position. After Colonel Johnson and his friends had written the letter, thinking that they were doing it for the very best interests of the race. Dr. Moton doubled crossed them by going to some high officials of Washington, through his secretary, demeaned who had written the requested letter. "I have been forced recently to entertain the same opinion of the rank and file of members of my race, who censured Dr. Moton for this unpleasant situation and his double-crossing is the cause of his being, driven from Tuskegee, together with Dr. Kenney, and has not as yet been permitted to return. I do not take stock with many of my people who are palliated with cancer, but I do want to say that in addition to Dr. Moton's statement to me while I was a guest in his house during the dedication of the Tuskegee hospital—that the hospital would operate successfully under my management because of my years of experience as a physician, in the field of conditions in South and North America, both races, being Technical Assistant, Charge of Colored Trainees under the U. S. Veterans' Bureau. "I am a member of the National Medical Association and have been for a number of years, and I know the Negro physicians of the United States as well as any man that ever lived. If you will allow me to run over the list with you, I can help you in forty-eight hours to settle this question in such a way that the President of the United States and all concerned, will be happy, and the Veterans' Bureau will be relieved of an embarrassment. I do not care to put him from any selfish motive, but I know for the President of the United States and the Veterans' Bureau it is impossible for a white man to know it as I know it and as I get it from the colored physicians and the people of America. You can not solve this problem without the advice of some colored man who is interested in the affair and upon whose veracity you feel that you can rely. delegation, telegram and letters and to go to the National Medical Convention and bombard the President from every angle. We have no matter and if you are advised what course to pursue in making a definite, satisfactory statement to the colored people through the press, you will be able to relieve the situation with little embarrassment. I have a plan which will not reflect upon my race and will be helpful and satisfactory to the outstanding white people and will please the President of the United States. If you can not discuss it very well during the day while you are on duty, I shall be pleased to help you and go over the matter thoroughly. "Dr. Moton has inaugurated this fight in every particular and proposes to run the hospital at Tuskegee and keep up a confusion until he has it his way." Of course, I can get along with him, although he will double-cross anybody. It is very fortunate, however, that the entire Negro press of the country is down on him and came very near creating the impression that I had entered into an agreement to be used by a prominent white man to settle this problem. I have never broken faith with a friend in thirty years. I believe you want to settle this matter properly, but I have to do some colored physician who knows the condition and who has traveled over the South as I have, looking after the training of the colored ex-service man." Perhaps the most illuminating of this voluminous correspondence is the "mi-dear" letter written to the woman in Chicago, named as co-respondent in the divorce proceedings instituted by his wife. He tells her of his ambitions and plans for the future as follows: In regard to the Tuskegee hospital, he asked me to pay over my success. I am keeping quiet, however. At the same time you request that I accept no second rate place. Of course, I am not a second rate man. I have been here in the Veterans' Bureau for two years and have taken care of affairs in a very successful way. Gen Hines, Director, sent for me the second rate man. He was pleased with my work and that he wanted to give me a promotion where I could get better pay. The position will pay $5,500, all of my help and accommodations, and in charge of the entire business of the hospital. He stated the president, the United States, Society of World War Iers felt safe in the expenditure of $500,000 a year for the hospital. He further stated that at present he would have a white man as Commanding Officer and that the white man and myself would operate the institution until such time as he agrees that the two races would be merged in exchange. Of course, did notitate to say that at that time I must have a hearing and proper consideration. "You must remember that if I go there as Executive Officer, it will be the biggest place given to a man of my regal group. I have been selected out of the entire group of men who sought that place. Dozens of men of great prominence have been set aside and I really feel that you ought to know enough about affairs to understand that there; would be no criticism on taking a place of Executive Officer, which is being filled now by an army officer of high rank, Colonel, and a man of some means, one of the greatest factors in military life. I entered the contest at a great disadvantage." SUBSCRIPTION PRICE-$2.00 PER YEAR tage. I had no military record and no man has been able to get consideration 24 hours who had no ex-service record. Dr. Kenney whose name was mentioned for a while, due to his management of the hospital at Tuskegee Institute under the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and as a colored man who South, was considered for a short while, but as time and events moved along, Dr. Kenney's name was dropped from the list of eligibles and he was later ordered to leave Alabama. He has been moping around here and other points as well as Moton, who is hanging around some point in Virginia, I understand his summer cottage, summer cottage at some very desirable place; no nigger place, but a real one. It is awful to fight at long odds and then have my friends doubt that I am accepting an exaled position. You will soon be in position to pass things and if a further fight is to be made you will have to do it. I have the proper backing such as the President of the United States, Vice-President, many members of the Cabinet, under Cabinet members, U. S. Senators, Congressmen and big people all over the country. The position means this to me, a promotion which I will receive. I function for my race with a greater degree of authority, to have a splendid cottage and excellent enjoyment for those dearest to me, and a salary which, in the long end, will average between five and seven hundred dollars a month. In a short while I would save more money, and I hope that you would be satisfied. But then ever experienced by you, I am sure that you would add much to my success, greater than any other living mortal. "I appreciate fully your kind interest in me, when you express to me as you did over the phone last evening, that you did not want me to go down there until things were settled, that you would be selected as the only man available and canable to solve the problem at the Tuskegee hospital. "Now, if any newspaper people look at it otherwise, and I am there as the individual upon whom they are relying to straighten out affairs, I will do some newspaper writing myself." MCGLAWN·HARLEY CO.

KIDNAPPERS SCURRY UNDER HAIL OF SHOT KIDNAPPERS SCURRY UNDER HAIL OF SHOT Son's Gun Fire Rescues Father From Hooded Band Bent On Carrying Off Sixty-Year Old Farmer. MEMBER OF PARTY IS RECOGNIZED BY VICTIM W. B. Trent, a prosperous and prominent colored farmer living on the Key Road, Portsmouth, near the Seaboard Air Line crossing about two miles below the city was visited by a group of Klimsman and a group of Stuart over the head with a heavy instrument, seized and dragged toward three waiting automobiles parked near his home. Mr. Trent's screams attracted his son who lives next door and but for the coolness and bravery of this young man, he might have been severely dealt with by the kidnappers. His son rushing to the door upon hearing the screaming opened fire six times with his pistol, the invisible empire to loosen their hold on their victim and scurry out of the range of the hail of shots beaching from the son's gun. The kidnappers after jumping into their cars returned the fire apparently with regolvers at the same time making off from the scene with their motor care tearing, thru the dirt road. County officers Smith and Chase were notified by telephone and hurried to the scene. Desulytory firing was going on in the neighborhood when they reached there, but the night riders were no where to be. The police was being done apparently by people in the neighborhood who had been aroused over the excitement. The officers secured a Star automobile which had been deserted by its occupants after being ditched not far from the Trent home. In the car was found a package containing two long white robes and two cornucopia caps, the officers were still applying it to jail Wednesday morning for the car, reporting that it had been stolen. It was ordered held for further investigation. The police failed to hold the claimant for questioning. According to the story told by Mr. Trent Tuesday night about 10:30 o'clock and after he had gone to bed some one rapped on his door. When he went to the door, he was seized by three white men about forty others, all wearing the regalia of the invisible empire, stalked around his yard. The three men dragged him toward three automobiles parked near his house and when he screamed one of them cried "kill him." Mr. Trents son, W. F. Trent, who lives next door, heard the commotion, grabbed his shot gun, rushed to the door and fired six times. He turned from their victim and fled, turning the fire in their flight. The son stated that after he fired he saw one of the men limping off the grounds. When asked if he knew any of the members of the party, Mr Trent said he did and has known one of them ever since the man was a small boy. He further said that he would be able to recognize the three men who grappled with him wherever he should see them. He refused, however, to divulge the name of the man whom he said had been taking that that would be attended to by the police. The police confessed their ability to any thing unless Mr. Trent named the man. W. B. Trent is a man about 60 years of age, owner of several acres of fine truck land and several head of live stock. He said that he was unable to assign any reason for any one attacking him. (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28—Willbur Gale was find $25 and costs in the City Court last.

Paul was a newborn in Tarsus of Cilicia at Jerusalem. He was thoroughly educated instrutured according to the strict manne of the law of the Hebrew Patriarchs. Rod Gal. 1: 14. Paul was a Pharisee, blaming to the saints of the Jews. They were zealous to observe the laws of Moses in all their details, and added to their almost countless requirements which had become very burdensome. They were in great favor with the people because they were the most faithful to the Roman rulers of the country. Paul's conversion was extraordinary-miraculous. It took place while he was journeying to Damascus to persecute and imprison the Christians. Real Acts 26:15 and 27:15 describe the living Christ. The apostle was over ready and willing to testify of his wonderful conversion. Jesus was a real living person to Paul. **B. Value of Christianity to Paul.** **B. Value of Christianity to Paul.** "The two most facts of the New Testament are, first, the experience of God in 'the life of Jesus; and, second, the experience of Christ in the life of St. Paul. The first is the experience of God in Christ that made St. Paul the greatest interpreter and preacher of our faith. Yet one of the strangest things in the history of the church is the rapidity with which the teaching of St. Paul is carried out. There are many causes, chief among which was the fact that the human mind was unable to grasp the spirituality and liberty of the religion of Jesus as St. Paul. Wanted it: Only a few there and there, even yet entered the church, which he never weighed of preliminary." It costs Paul something to be a follower of Christ. The coelency of Christ was worth more to Paul than position, preeminence, and power. He counted his proud position as a Jewish rabbi, his old time friends and his inheritance and his family ties refuse that he might grist Christ. The rightsponsorship to Christ was insufficient. It was inadequate. The rightcousness of Christ which Paul obtained through Faith was the all sufficient rightcousness. The power of Christ's resource, the sufferings Paul was deserving of knowing. "It has become almost a modern trussion that St. Paul's Christianity cannot be ignored. It is the gospel," as he calls it, which is primarily most important feature of it is that vital, personal, autobiographic strand of his life. He is not the same man rather than "knowledge about." There are no doctrines in his Epistles which are not covered, fooled and saturated with life-suprising life experiences. He ever can understand this spiritual conqueror of the Roman Empire who does not succeed in some degree in entering the world with his rich and abundant inner life." 3.

He is as keen as ever, as uncompromising as ever, following the gtman—D. J. H. Jowett. He is an ornate living, growing something. First the car, then the blade, then the full corn. Paul was a specialist in Religion. After twenty-five years of faithful service in the work of the church, he already made perfect. I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus“Vs. 12.14. “The race before lies. The things which are before lie. The things which are back, but to make us run. The prize of the high calling is not for the linzerer; or the backward-looking, or the quitter, or the faint, or the faint, or the faint, he acquired the discipline and self control for the strain of life.” (Ponoboy).

Estelle, the founder of the "Nu-Life" System of hair treatment has thru the dint of self-application and merit of her treatment and preparations made a success that has forced her into the front rank of beauty culturists and caused her to seek more spacious quarters. Recently Mme. Estelle opened at 2305 seventh avenue, near 135 street, the "Nu-Life" Beauty College and Salon, one of the finest and most luxuriously appointed beauty salons in the east. On entering the "NU-Lite" College building sanitation is predominant as the white marble steps and the floor with lighting allow the entrance to the salon, great one's eye. The color scheme is old rose and grey. The reception room is beautiful in its grandeur, with period furniture, oriental rug, soft cushions and glided mirror; next one's eyes are caught by the mezzanine floor, which is made in a separate room by a partition of brass railing; this contains the manicuring salon. As one looks down the long hall, he sees booths with Vanity and a scheme of old rose velour curtains against grey posts. Each booth is a universal one and strictly sanitary, where milfay may have a shampoo, facial m a s s u g , mud pack, manicure, marcel wave, eyebrows arched and her coiffure fashionably arranged before leaving the booth. However, if she only cares for a shampoo, she re-arranges every item in the work make-up, is at hand and milady can do so to her own taste, as she sits in front of the triplicate mirror of the vanity table. Next one comes to the school section of the spacious hall, where hang the various charts, showing the anatomy of skin scald and the elements to be used in the elements to be used by students.

We loved you, but Jesus loved you best. Sister, Mrs. Louise Woodward, (Family) In loving remembrance of my dear brother, Albert Ruffin, who departed this life, August 23, 1923. He is gone but not forgetten. The sad smile a world of bloom, To come upon you now. And when the love of the tomb, Upon your gentle brow. There lingers still upon your face, The smile you used to wear. And all that death can leave of grace, Prayer that rests upon the brow, So much of life is on your brow, The heart could almost deem, That you are sleeping now and, Smiling in your dream, And once that so cold and still form, Would you be able to breathe, And those who knew and loved you most Will miss you to the end. Yet when your earthly hope grew dark, A better life was given, It led me to the arms, That peaceful home in heaven. From sister, Rosa Howell.

And well, you surprise me, making such fast time; I didn't know it was in you. Yet that the way it goes; the notice comes in and wins the money. So her old man caught you and wrang your neck—ha, he! couldn't I like to have seen your face? And, any way, she she had made good her threat to leave the house with you—what on earth would you have done?" "I don't see any joke in it," said the Virgin. "But really, now, Joe, would you consider yourself engaged to the girl?" Well, that depends on a number of things. Remember, I don't know if you would ment might be different. Is she a girl whom you would marry ordinarily? "I don't understand." "That is," said Joe, seriously, "does she lie to the class of girls from which finicky fellows like us would choose our wives? You know, rightly or wrongly, men judge their obligations to a girl by the girl's general standing." "This girl's standing is one of the best in Boston by your own account," said the Virgin. "By my account!" exclaimed Joe, "Do you know I know her? You certainly do." I confided in you, I may as well go the whole length and tell you who she is." "Well, I'm all ears." "It is Beatrix Marley." "Beatrix marley! Great jumping. Jehoshaphat!" Joe blinked at the Virgin for a moment, then he broke forth with a string of highly seasoned explemen that were hanged of which was: "I'll be hanged!" "You're surprised, eh?" langed the Virgin.

She has seen you only twice, and already she's got you wondering whether it is your duty to marry her." "I tell you," said the Virgin, impatiently, "she's done nothing. I'm the active party, or the guilty one, if you wish to put it that way. Do you think she asked me to kiss her? I made her, I tell you." "You really think so." "You—oh, well," said the Virgin, "you've seen so many, impure things and people that you don't know innocence when you see it. She loves me, I tell you! She stood out against her own father for me; she saved her home for me. A fine story, I'm told to be doubt her after that."

That's one reason why I did not mention her name at first when I told you my story. I wanted your unbaited opinion and I knew you were prejudiced against her." "And now that I know she's the girl, I suppose you don't want my advice." "I do want it, if you can give it impartially. I'm sorry I told you it was she; I didn't intend to, but when a man starts telling a thing he generally tells more than he meant to. You don't know Beatrix, Joe. She's the finest girl I ever saw, all life and love and goodness. If you could only have seen her when she rushed between me and her father!"

Name---- the Virgin and Love. Copyright 1923 the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service. "Maybe she wanted to save her father from being hanged for murder." "And when she tried to take all the blame upon herself," said the Virgin, raptly, ignoring Joe's re- mark. "Or when she told them she beloved me." "Very dramatic I confess," said Joe, without embarrassment. "Even Sarah Bernhardt would relish a scene like that." "Jac," said the Virgin, resolved to be patient with this humidum plover of the ways of the earth, "your trouble is that you don't believe in anybody, women least of all, can't imagine such a thing as a passion for you." "Don't I, though, You've always called me, the college cynic. Well, what's a cynic but one who suspects the worst while secretly hoping for the best." As for believing in people, why, I know a little girl now—— "Fresh-checked country maiden," interrupted the Virgin, "innocent, no evil, no sin." "No, sir," said Jac, shortly. "Country life and innocence are not necessarily the same thing. I knew a girl once who milked cows and she also milked my pocket-book." "How?" asked the Virgin. "I won't go into details," said Jac. "I won't face face." But the little girl I stated to about lives right in New York City, and she's lived there ever since she was born. Cynic though I am, I'd believe anything she I told me." "So you're in love, too?" said the Virgin. "Love!" Joe exclaimed. "I didn't say I was in love; I only said I'd believe whatever this little girl told me. "When you believe anything a girl tells you, you love her." "Virgin," said Joe, startled. "You've certainly learned a lot in these last few weeks. Sometimes I think a good, thorough-going love affair is the best education in the world." "You say you believe in your girl sincerity," said the Virgin; "yes, don't believe Beatrix is sincerne." "They are different girls, Virgin." "That wouldn't affect my belief in the slightest," said Joe, smiling. "Well, we've wandered from the point at issue. Laying aside whatever doubts you have of Miss Marley's sincerity, do you think I should consider myself engaged to her?" Twenty-five Dividends Paid. unity "You haven't asked her to marry you, and received her consent, so you're not engaged. You know that much yourself." "Now, Joe," said the Virgin, "don't evade the question. You might have put me off with that answer two weeks ago, but, as you say, I've learned a lot. Beatrix has opened my eyes." "Or closed them," murmured Joe. "No," continued the Virgin, missing the point of Joe's remark. We're not just positive which is correct, further or farther, but there is one thing certain, they both mean the same to a tired man with six or eight miles to go on foot.

In retaining his hold on the championship crown, Brown refused to toy with the New York expert. Known as a last minute player, the champion started in to bid himself the Saitch's hand to a test between steadiness and precision on one side, and a brilliant defense on the other. Saitch was always on the defensive, the champion forcing him into wizard-like recoveries. In most cases it was Brown who did the placing. Much of the playing did the back and the back, Brown's backhand and accurate volleying earned him point after point. Saitch was the first to serve, opening with an ace. This was duplicated, the champion seeming unable to recognize the lightning shots. Saitch won the game. The next game went to Brown. Each won his next service. Brown took the shuttle and foulshot and he lead. "RUNNING WILD" IS RUNNING TO FAME filler and Lyle's Production Is a Scream; "Fisticuffs" and Jimtown Set 'Em Wild. (Washington, D.

But Miss Malade Hall is the particular minime star, twinkling the brightest. She does two numbers that are musical hits because of the manner in which she puts them over. In the first scene she sings "Bingerbrown," while Bob Lee cruts. Her "Love Bug," elipses any single number in the show and makes a half dozen times than a half dozen times at each performance. The two sweetest musical themes are "Old Fashion Love," sung by Miss Duncan, Miss Hall and Mr. Porter, and, Open Your Heart," by Miss Hughes and Mr. Stephens. The dancing, with Tommy Woods, Geo.

Brown, Indiana's bronze leopard, playing through national tennis champion, romped thru three thrilling sets on the courts of the Prairie. Tennis Club Saturday afternoon, and retained his title by defeating E. G. Sautch, New York's champion, the championship philipha, to the 6-9, 6-2, 11-9. In defeating Sautch, Brown played the most spectacular and convincing tennis, ever witnessed on the local courts. He played a winning game against another remarkable player and stood the gaff of a mob of spectators opposed to him. Sautch, who defeated Brown in Philadelphia, was expected to win, but the game ended Saturday made the challenger's former victory look like a fluke. One hundred and fifty contestants, from nearly twenty states, the East and the Mid-West, were entered in the Seventh Annual Tournament of the American Tennis Association. Excepting for one player, the rest of the players play went off, without a hitch. The South Park-Commission permitted the Association to use the public parks to catch up in the play, the first time such permission has ever been given to any club or group. Stamper and other spectators entered the entire week of Saturday additional seats had to be provided for the throngs that came to see the finals. Miss Isadora Channels, national woman's champion of Chicago, defeated Mrs. Lottie Wade, the New York phenomena, in straight sets 8-5, 6-4. The New York woman swept through the early rounds of the tournament in brilliant fashion. In the match with Miss Channels, she gained a wide advantage in the first set, but the champion, displaying an unbatable game at the net and a strong overhead, proved too strong for the form of the New Yorker and ran through the extra-game set in such manner as to elicit the constant aplause of the spectators. Men's doubles, this year, were won by Dr. J. McGriff, of Portsmouth, Va., and Dr. E. D. Downing, Roanoke, the same state, thrived from the G. D. Thompson, champion and Ted Thompson of Washington. At the time Brown and Thompson defended the McGriff-Downing combination was leading, having lost the first set, won the second, and being ahead in the third. The women's doubles title was copped by Miss E. Leonard, New York, and Mrs. Lottie Wade, New York, from Miss E. Glass and C. Ross, both of Kansas City, Mo., in straight sets. The first set was a walkaway for the New York team. In the second set the Missouri girls rallied and forced their opponents to extend themselves. Miss Ross brought forth cheers with her service. The backhand and forehand were the largest factor in the victory for New York her returns catching her opponents unawares and forcing them to net the ball. E. G. Saitch and Mrs. Wade won the mixed doubles championship Dr. B. M. Rhea and Miss N. Nicholson, both of Baltimore, 7-5, 6-3. Rhea did spectacular work in the doubles, playing both fore and back courts in extraordinary manner. He and his partner, however, played an uphill game all along, the Saitch-Wade duo on the court. In a game with Saitch strong on his service against Miss Nicholson, and Mrs. Wade commanding in the back court. The Snaitch-Brown match was the class of the tournament. There were several upsets, notably the defeat of J. F. Wilkinson, Washington, by J. McGriff, Portsmouth, Va. McGriff's work in singles and doubles was an outstanding feature of the tournament. Mrs. C. O. Scames, "mother of the games, 57 years young, won a hard match from Mrs. Norman, one of New York's leading players, 3-6, 8-6, 7-5. Dr. O. B. Williams defaulted to R. A. Toney, his doubles partner, in the singles, thereby eliminating, himself from the final. Brown defeated him for the Illinois championship in five hard sets in 1975. The absence of Tilly Holmes, former national champion, from the tournament was generally and generously commented upon.

Popular Prices Returns To St. Paul 7 HUBERT A. TAYLOR Saitch then earned another game before the champion clipped two more and the set. Both men were playing a cool game. Saitch drove many of his returns into the net. Brown's errors came from faulty placement. The last game was ended by two double faults made by Saitch. The New Yorker seemed unable to command the service that he earned him two aces in the first half, and then on, the number of his double faults piled. Brown depended little on his service, apparently believing that it was better to beat the challenger in action. The champion showed to his best advantage in the second set, the point score of 25-17 indicating the speed with which the set was run. Saitch was netting often and his play was spectacular to spectators began to concede the match to the Hoosier and to lose faith in the youngster. In the third and deciding set Saith fought all the way. Neither man was tired and each used all the strategy known to him. The set was replete with deuce games. Brown had started in to end it quickly. The New Yorker declared no, and fought with a determination that caused the onlookers to marvel. He outplayed the champion in the pinches of the early games. In the rallies he won, Brown being forced to chase from side to side of his back court, force and aim, to keep up with the seemingly impossible returns of the ball, he led the fifth game, when Saith tied him and from then on it was first one and then the other in the lead until the 20th game had been won by Brown, and the set 11-9. He received an ovation as he jumped the net to shake hands with the defeated challenger.

Taylor, Physical Director of the Newport School "Y", will return to St. Paul School on September 10th as assistant football coach and assistant director of gymnastics. He will also supervise the track and field activities. Mr. Taylor is an alumnus of St. Paul, class '16, and he has done special work in physical education at Springfield College. He coached St. Paul's successful football team in 1920. He has been physical director of the "Y" for the past several years, and well-known to basketball, football and track official of great magnitude, efficiency, and experienced. His name appears in the archives of St. Paul's renowned quarter-backs. In 1915 he won signal honors on the gridiron, and he was a strong candidate for the All-American mythical eleven. As a backfield man he was equal to any and surpassed by none; and, among the followers of the Great Game, he was a player, being fleet-foot, a kicker, a forward passer, and a torrific line plunger. In sincerity of purpose and breadth of experience, Taylor has no superior. He returns to his Alma Mater with ripe and rich experience, and upon the recommendation of the alumni.

Sure, mankind learn very little by experience, however bitter it may be. Air mail service between New York and San Francisco has been established. What next? Man's mastery of the forces of Nature which he is subduing to his uses, is one of the most remarkable accomplishments of the ages. A railroad and coal mine tie-up of workers is threatened for September 1, and the hoppers of last winter may be repeated. The producers of the necessary things of life appear to have the consumers by the throat. Let us hope the impending horrors may be averted. "The Lion of the Argonne," the grand old French commander, under whom our New York Fighting Fifteenth Regiment served during the World War, was the guest of the Fighters in New York last week and they made him glad by the splendid welcome given him by them and their friends. It was a Big Occasion for our Harlem. Some 150,000 former residents of Vermont, now voting in 47 States, are said to be actively organizing clubs to bring about the nomination of President Coolidge, to succeed himself next year. But the President starts off handicapped badly by having Bascom Slemp and what he stands for tied about his neck. A very grave situation in world politics is created by the differences that have arisen between France and Great Britain over the occupation of the Ruhr by the French in the effort to force payment of reparations out of Germany. The world does not want any more war right now, but is fast moving towards war, according to most of the signs of the times. There appears to be an epidemic of wife and woman murders among us in all parts of the country, as our newspapers report them from week to week. And some times the wife or the woman kills the man or husband. Some times the two go down and out at the same time in the same way. The enmity between the man and woman pronounced against Adam and Eve in the beginning appears to be working overtime among us. Mr. John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee, has not been a friend of Afro-American Republicans and we are not grieved to learn that he has been slated to go the way he sent us, down and out. His successor may not be an improvement, but it is human to gamble on the change as being for the better. If we had more and better political organization of our own we should not be snubbed, sidetracked and kicked so mercilessly by the managers of all of the party organizations. Those who know Mr. S. J. W. Rutherford, who landed in Washington with $6 and has built up the powerful National Benefit Insurance Company during the past twenty-five years, are not surprised at his success. He has the mental reserves, the methodicity and the stickability that will enable any one to succeed in the thing he determines to make trial of. Mr. Rutherford is a very live wire in business, 'such as are, fortunately, increasing among us. The son, Mr. R. W. Rutherford, is much like his father in business make-up. Kidnapping and flogging activities of the Ku Klux Klan in five States during the past ten days, have provoked rioting in Ohio, martial law in Tulsa, of odious repute, in Oklahoma, and such disquiet in the Administration at Washington as to lead to talk of drastic measures to be recommended as amendment to the Dyer anti-lynching bill to be introduced again at the opening session of Congress. Most of those concerned in the disturbances, aggressors and aggrieved, have been white persons. Law and order"and legal process are being challenged all along the line and a disposition to answer the challenge is being shown which argues well for the future final settlement of such organized contempt of law and legal process. The Four Hour Day Work How much leisure does a person need to unit him for good and effective work? That is not the way scientists and others are putting the question, but that is the way the question is resolved in all the speculation over the matter of labor and necessary leisure for rest, recreation and culture. Tinie was when people took a necessary pride in their work and felt that it was a matter of mutual interest to do as much and as good work in a given time as they were capable of, but "that time has forever gone," as the funny page would say. People have now begun to look at work as a drudgery" from which they must be delivered as far as possible while insisting upon the largest possible return for the work. The disposition is very general not to work at all, and not to devote the leisure to cultural improvement and recuperation, but to do nothing more than shadow work and to receive the pay envelope just the same and for larger and larger amount, if possible to force it. This is an extreme view of the matter, but that is the finality towards which the prevalent tendency turns. "Soldiering on the job" has become the order of the day in many trades in the purpose to make a given contract string out as much as possible. High wages 'and short hours and limited amount of work while on the job have become the terrors of the captains of industry, who are not in business for their health, and of the consumers of the products of labor, who have to pay for it. The price of an anthracite coal, for example, is now $14 per ton, when it used to be $4.50; but if the wage demands of the miners now in dispute are granted, operators say it will raise the price by $2. Coal is not worth $16 a ton, and the exaction of it is rank robbery; but consumers will have to pay, if 'mine owners and workers agree that they must. Dr. Steinmetz a very high authority, has made the statement that a time will come when electricity will have so reduced "druggery" that persons will need only work four hours a day. The New York World wants to know what men will do with the eighteen hours of leisure thus dropped into their living. The average worker does not take to literature, and the amusements he craves are not usually of the kind that make for better morals and living. And people of the highest education find it hard to dispose of the leisure to advantage which they have, even when they are reasonably studious. Most people are lost and miserable when they have nothing to occupy their thought and time, whatever the level of their thought, and most of it is seldom above the eyebrows; they look to the earth mostly and to the heavens seldom, because they are of the earth and earthy. No work is "drudgery" unless it is so considered, and when the person is not in love with his work all of the enjoyment of living goes out of his life while he is forced to work, to do what he despises. The sort of education we are getting educates us away from rather than towards work and the love of it, and the introduction of machinery has not helped matters. The desire to get rich quick and spend the wealth in questionable living, naturally makes the basic labor "drudgery" uninviting, and the clamor, for raw foreign labor to do what each successive generation should be educated to do for itself, is filling the Nation with more people than we need who become restless and revolutionary, because they have more leisure than they know what to do with, and so turn to desperate expedients, often demoralizing and criminal. Honest work and plenty of it, with a reasonable reward for it, is what every healthy-person needs to save him from himself and the temptations which so easily beset him. France Bars "The Birth of a Nation" Only a perverted intelligence and a natural strife breeder could ever have conceived and brought forth such an intellectual monstrosity as "The Birth of a Nation." Thomas Dixon is that sort of creature; but he has given evidence, in resenting the use of his name for a branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Baltimore, that he is not all bad, and we have no doubt, from that fact, that he has often regretted that he ever gave life to the strife-breeding book from which the drama has been woven that has provoked so much hard feeling and protest in the past years, echoes of which are yet occasionally heard and may be heard for years to come. A bad book is just like a bad child; it is always a reproach to its parents. It is of general interest to our readers to note that the French Government has prevented the showing of "The Birth of a Nation." A special cablegram to the New York World explains the matter as follows: "Because feelings of French Negroes have been outraged by Americans, who resented their presence in restaurants and bars, the showing of D. W. Griffith's film, "The Birth of a Nation," has been prohibited by the police. The Censor passed on the picture favorably twelve days ago, but it is understood the police ban was clapped on as a concession to Negroes. Premior Poinecare himself has officially recognized their complaints by publishing a general warning to foreigners that the equal rights of blacks must be respected." France is leading the Christian world in recognizing the co-quality of its Afro-French citizens and in insisting that others coming among them shall do so or pay for not so doing. Uppish Americans and Britishers may not like it, but it is the French way, and they are told that if they refuse to do it they are not welcome in France, and will be punished if they insist upon violating the law of the time and place. It should be that way in the United States, but it is offensively not so. New City Manager Col. William B. Causey, of Suffolk, engineer of international note, assumes his duties as city manager of Norfolk this week. Col. Causey brings to the position a vast reserve of executive and administrative ability and world-wide experience. We may confidently expect that within a very short time he will be fitting into the scheme of things Norfolkian and hitting a stride that will make for the continual advancement of our city on to its destined goal—the great city on the Hampton Roads. Col. Causey will find here 150,000 souls intensely interested in their municipality and envisioning for it a glorious future, working and striving for a consummation of that vision not so long deferred. He will find here a people, altho acutely possessed of home pride, broad enough of spirit to respect and understand the feelings and rights of those not a part of them. He will find in our city the press tolerant in its criticism, supporting whole-heartedly pol- ities and measures designed to benefit the city state and nation, disagreeing when it believes that by so doing it may lend aid, in pointing out errors and pitfalls and advance the public weal. He will find here of the 150,000 Norfolkians, 55,000 of African descent, loyal, every one of them, and forming an integral part of our citizenship, realizing at all times that what is good for the whole is in like manner good for all of its parts. Colored citizens have no special favors to ask of Col. Causey, nor do they desire any. All that the Negro asks of any government, municipal, state or national, is vouchsafed to him in a few brief and crisp sentences written into the fundamental law of the land. The respectful abidance by public officers of this law will render to the Negro all that he asks of this commonwealth. We have no perplexing and aggravated racial problem here, Col. Causey; ours is yet far from a Christian solution, but the better element of both racial groups is gradually but surely removing those things that make for misunderstanding and forming stronger the bonds of human friendship. Welcome to Norfolk, Col. Causey. Spirit of The Press Migration Spirit of The Press From Pittsburgh American. The movement of our race towards the east and north, must be considered more seriously Higher wages and "better living conditions" are tempting things to a people being pressed down where they are. But any movement for the better should be governed by calm intelligence and full regard for facts. A landless people are a homeless people anywhere on earth. And problems of human life are multiplied by industrial and business uncertainties affecting the welfare of our population depending wholly upon the industrial and business organizations of white people who employ Negroes in the north and east. "South is Hell" some say, "Come north where you have a chance and live like a man." Now there may be some truth in this, but the danger is in it not being wholly true. Cities can be over-crowded; mills and other manufacturing enterprises created and operated by the brain and capital of the white man can shut down. When this happens, the Negro without work or *n* home somewhere, will tell you at once that "North as well as South is Hell." When bread lines form, every one in the ranks believes it. Good times don't last forever. It will be well for Negroes of the South to be guided by the leaders of their section most able to direct their movement away from home. Southerners should not heed the northern Negro who is himself miserably dependent upon the money-earning power of his own race to sustain his high and might ambitions. He cannot provide any Negro from the South a full day's work for a full day's pay; he will not give one a bed for a night without pay; he has no power—absolutely none to give the road to happiness for the newcomer. He is full-chested, if fairly comfortable; many are ambitions beyond their means, and when the ground freezes over, this brother is the first to go out of the weather and stay inside humid conditions for a night after a feering and trial, the sympathetic northern white man is the one who bears most of the burdens of suffering and humbled Negroes, whose own existence depend upon their success in begging for the needy of their race. Every Negro in the South deciding to come North should think of these things. Rough-Necks Rule From The Ellenbush City (N. G.) Independent.

A Klu Klux Kollege From The Phila. Evening: Public: Ledger. The Ku Klux Klan, enjoined by the courts in New York, mobbed in Ohio and the center of a rising tide of race antagonism in Delaware and other States, is neither chastened nor dismayed. It has bought Valparaiso University, an institution established many years ago to extend professional education to the masses, and will reorganize it as a temple of Klan culture. The place will be called National University.

It has bought Valsalpa-versity, an institution established many ago to extend professional education to masses, and will reorganize it as a temp Khan culture. The place will be called international University, diverting to sit down and pose a yell of unprecedented savagery for new seat of learning, to wonder whether athletic teams will lynch triumphant contors or merely feather and feather. Bu It would be dividing, to sit down and compose a yell of unprecedented savagery for this new seat of learning, to wonder whether its athletic teams will lynch triumphant competitors or merely feather them. But the Klan is too irritating to be treated with levity. It remains the most atrocious caricature of an ideal, the baldest system for commercialization of sentiment and the most efficient hate-making machine ever devised in the United States. What will they do to American history at the Klux kollege? Will they ever be aware that tolerance was supposed to be the great virtue of American people who really were Americans or that it was the quality of heart and mind that made the Republic, what it is? The Klan leaders who have grown rich through the weakness of subnormal bigots for parade and vicious foolery are shrewd. But they are far from being wise. They are capitalizing and encouraging the basest elements in ignorant men and women to increase the revenues of a business corporation in Atlanta. It might be fair to inquire whether at National University in Valparaiso, Ind., there will be a technical department to develop tractors and road-rolling machines as lethal weapons for use against enemies of the KluX in the manner made historic at Mere Rouge, The Gifted Child READ BY PROF. J. RILEY DUNGE Principal of John T. Wost Graded School at the June meeting of the Tidewater Principal's Association Children of brilliant mentality may be very significantly called "gifted," for though intelligence is an acquisition, it is based upon capacity, which is a gift. Capacity is the result of influences operating upon the unborn between the periods of conception and parturition, it is the gift of nature. Intelligence is the result of influences operating after birth, it is the fruit of nurture. The two requisites for intelligence, therefore, are congenital capacity and postgenital nurture. In the absence of capacity it is impossible to acquire intelligence however favorable the nurture. Among enlightened peoples it would be difficult, of course, to conceive how the latter situation could actually occur. The mere casual contact of the young with their unescapable environment forbids it. It is nevertheless true that such an actuality would consign to hopeless imbecility an intellect of the highest potentiality. These considerations account for the mental degrees of mentality exhibited by different people. Since intelligence is based upon capacity, and capacity upon prenatal influences, it is evident that the latter ought to be of the most favorable character, and this is true whether the moral, mental or physical future of the child be contemplated. That the influences controlling the mentality are ethnologically impartial is evidenced by the occurrence of the highest types of genius within all the races of men. That they are not partial to parentage is seen in the circumstances that children of the illiterate often excel those of the educated. My attention was attracted to an illustration of the latter observation on the nature of the parentage in the school. The parentage represented included the teacher, the preacher, the doctor, and the lawyer; yet the highest capability did not appear in the offspring of either. That distinction went with an unkempt anunil of an illiterate mother and a vagrant father. At birth the agency of nature ends, and that of nurture begins. The former is responsible for the foundation, the latter for the superstructure. It is in the proportion that nature prepares for nurture, the illiterate being it is in the proportion that nurture reinforces nature that intelligence is attained. Considering children according to their mentality, they constitute three general groups; the subnormal, the normal and the supernormal. These distinctions grow out of the incidence of their chronological and their mental ages. Many shades or degrees of intellectuality are found within these respective divisions, so that, together, they include all the graduations lying between the bottom and top at the bottom and remains at the top. I suppose that differences in degrees of mentality have always been observable, but it has been reserved to modern pedagogical science to distinguish them with anything like practical particularity. By the use of various intelligence tests, the mind may now be measured with such precision that its calibre may be relatively approximated. As a result of exhaustive experimentation, standards have been adopted which denote the usability of the equipment at their successive ages. When a child fails to exhibit the degree of brilliance that the standard sets for his age he is regarded as subnormal. If his exhibition is equal to the standard he is normal; if above it, he is supernormal. Mental measurements may be regarded as direct and indirect. Intelligence is measured directly by comparing it with the standard. Capacity is measured indirectly by comparing its product with those of other ordinarily trained minds. Intelligence is measured by the fruit it bears. Intelligence like a fruit, reveals the tree from which it sprouts. In accordance with accepted standards, the latitude of intellectual normality extends from a year below the chronological age to a year above it, a range of twenty points. Thus it is not considered exceptional for a child of ten to exhibit the capacity usual to a child of nine, or one eleven. This seems to be allowed in consideration of the degree of degrees in which the mentality has had opportunity for development. As two plants of equal promise would diffuse in their development in proportion to the cultivation given them. Thus it will be seen that one child may reach a stage at nine that another child just as promising may not reach until ten. Certainly one who has intelligent parents and whose playmates are similarly blessed has a decided advantage who is opposed situated. Superior advantages obviously accelerate the evolution of the possibilities as the contrary retards it. Inasmuch as intelligence may fall below or rise above the standard, it is unavoidable to think of a child as having both a life age and mental age. Hence it has become common to say of a child that his chronological age is eight, nine, or eleven, and his mental age is eleven, twelve or thirteen, and we know. If the two ages coincide, the mental age divided by the chronological age shows the former to be 100 per cent of the latter and the subject is said to have an intelligence quotient of 100. If the ages differ, the mental age divided by the life age gives an I.Q. above or below. Thus, a ten-year case may be. Thus, a ten-year C.A. gives an I.Q. of 111, while the inverse division results in an I. Q. of 90 instead. Saturday, September 1, 1923 Should a five-year old child exhibit the mentality which the standard sets for a child of ten, he would have the extraordinary I. Q. of 200. He would have to his credit 50 points above the rating at which one is denominated a genius. An I. Q. occurring between 150 and 100 denotes approximate genius; between 140 and 120, very superior intelligence; between 120 and 110 superior intelligence; from 110 to 85, approximate normality; 85 to 70, approximate feebleneededness; 70 to 40, feebleneededness; 40 to 25, imbecility; 25 to 10, idolacy. The advantage of intelligence tests and the ratings thereon is that they furnish a basis for classifying pupils according to their capability and for holding them to a corresponding accountability. After ascertaining what the child is capable of accomplishing, the next step is to find whether he is doing it. As experimentation led to the standardization of capacities, what pupils are able to do, they led also to the adoption of standards for comparing accomplishments or what they have actually done. In addition to the C. A., or the measure of years and the M. A., or the measure of mind, there occurs then, the educational age, or the measure of accomplishment. As the ratio of the Mental Age, M. A. to the Chronological Age, C. is called the Intelligence Age, or the Educational Age E. A., to the Chronological Age is called the Educational Ouentite, E. O. The extent to which the accomplishment has kept pace with the capacity is the ratio of the Educational Quotient to the Intelligence Quotient, or the Accomplishment Quotient, A. Q. As an illustration of comparative measurements, suppose a five-year-old boy should have a seven-year capacity and a six-year accomplishment, or a five-year Chronological Age. Age should be accompanied by a seven-year Mental Age and a six-year Educational Age, the measure of this child's capacity or his I. Q., would be 140; the measure of his accomplishment or his E. Q., would be 120; and the ratio of his accomplishment to his capacity, or his I. Q., would show that although his work was a year above his life age; yet it was a year below his mental age, and that he should be given opportunity to bring his attainment up to his capability, his E. Q. up to his I. Q., his A. Q. up to par. It will be realized, of course, that under ordinary circumstances, this is easier to say than to do. It is only in schools or systems aggregating numbers sufficient to form classes of gifted children that their environment be conveniently or adequately met. In meeting these needs there are three factors that must be considered, the teacher, the pupil, and the plan. When adequate training, broad experience, large resourcefulness, and inspirational personality are essential qualifications for any teacher of any class, they are particularly necessary for the teacher of gifted children. In selecting pupils for special speed, recourse should first be had to the intelligence test and only those should be chosen who show a safe margin of supernormality: Care should then be taken that their physical strength is equal to the additional effort; that they are free from impediments that would impede their ability; and that their environment is not unfavorable to the attempt. In the treatment of such pupils, there are two plans from which selection may be made: One contemplates giving them more work of similar kind, or, preferably, additional work different in character, though similar in grade and of equal or higher cultural quality. While this plan retains the gifted pupil in the class with his less forward fellows, he may, nevertheless, enrich his information in the proportion that he avails himself of the opportunity thus afforded. The other plan provides for the child's proceeding with the curriculum never faster or far it may take him to the fellows. Respecting the relative merits of the two plans opinions are not uniform. Although the case of the gifted child is theoretically a new one, in practice it is a very old one. It is doubled new to provide special classes, special teachers, and special equipment for his accommodation, but there are few of us perhaps, who have not seen children of exceptional aptitude advanced their fellows and given opportunity to progress of which they are capable. Among several instances in which I have seen this done is one that may now be witnessed in John T. West School. In October, 1920, an eleven-year-old girl entered our fourth B grade. Intelligence tests given some time subsequently showed her to be a child of distinctly exceptional mentality. She has justified the rating given her then by winning her way to the eleven grade, for which she will graduate, the first June, completing in three years the work that has engaged her classmates five; If this girl had entered school at six instead of eight, as she did, and if her acceleration prior to her entrance into our school had been proportionate to that subsequent thereto, it is likely that she should now be finishing the third year high school. Her case is a partial exemplification, at least, of the evolution now in progress in the pedagogical program. As we know, this o g r a m-formerly contemplated the pupil only. Later, it included an abnormal and is now in the initial normal and is adjustment to the claims of the normal. It may be predicted that this adjustment will regulate itself by the strength of the considerations upon which those claims 32. What was the fate of Pharos at Alexandria, Egypt? at Alexandra's strange that a lighthouse should have been the seventh wonder, but it was. Ptolemy Philadelphia, that it enlightened monarch of the Greeks, built the beacon of Pharos, near Alexandria, between 285 and 247 B. C. and it lasted in part, until an earthquake demolished its remains in 1376. Built somewhat like a modern setback skyscraper in several stages, each stage smaller than the one beneath it, the structure was between 400 and 600 feet high. On its top was a lens-shaped mirror which made it possible for watchers to see far off ships, invisible to the naked eye. The fires at the tip could be seen a great distance at sea, 640 A. B. The lighthouse was Alexandria and continued the lighthouse fires, but the Greeks, angry at the capture of their famous beacon, sent a spy to tell the Caliph that a great treasure rested at the base of the lighthouse. He ordered the tower torn down, but of course, found no treasure. The lighthouse was repaired, but storms blew it over and in 1182 a mosque was raised over the ruins, only to be destroyed itself by an earthquake 200 years later. 33. What two Negroes assisted explorers to reach their goal? In 1572, during Sir Francis Drake's third voyage to the American coast, he became sorely in need of a guide. He chose to make friends with a few Negroes, one of whose name was Diego, and in whom Sir Francis noted extraordinary qualities. Diego was a hero of many battles with Spaniards, and Indians, and on more than one occasion saved Drake's life. Drake became so much attached to Diego, that failing to persuade him to return to England with him, he named a prominent river of South America for him, and wrote a special report to Queen Elizabeth, detailing Diego's wonderful fidelity. Among the exploits of the man who froze the frozen solitudes of the polar region, of Robert E. Peary, who discovered the North Pole in 1009, stands out most prominently. Among Peary's crew, in this achievement of the goal of centuries, was Matthew Henson, the Negro, who witnessed the placing of the stars and stripes on the top of the world. NEXT WEEK'S WHATNOTS 34.

Among these considerations are, first, that the gifted child is as much entitled to the advantages arising out of the superior sharpness of his intellect as he is to that arising out of the superior fleetness of his feet. As in a foot race, the swiftest runner is first to reach the goal, so in the race for knowledge, the reward is due him first who can pursue it fastest. A threefold advantage is realized from segregating the gifted children and requiring them to keep their progress up to their capacity. It is helpful to the children themselves in at once depriving them of opportunity for idleness and mischief, and in furnishing competitive to industry and good education; beneficial to those from whom they have been separated in replacing their former consciousness of inferiority with a sense of equality—in substituting self-confidence for discouragement. It is productive of better behavior, closer application, and more satisfactory progress on the part of both. It is a relief, moreover, to the teachers of the respectability programs be restricted to the instruction of the gifted children in embarrassment attending the presence and interference of the other. Still another and by no means unimportant result attending the advancement of the gifted child is the saving of expense to those on whom the same is to fall while the beneficiary is thereby admitted to an earlier and more efficient participation in the world's activities. The trend of present indications favors the conclusion that in the educational program of the future, due consideration is going to be given the claims of the gifted child.

He recognized the fact that he is suitable to one person is tively wrong for another. He tressed him to know that so many race people, including the illiterate, living, dancing and theatre, or medicine, law or publicit received so little encouragement when they expressed a sire to develop these talents. On every hand people are trying to engage the race man or man to do manual lsher, but Mr. Williams said "It's a shame spoil a good cook by making dancer out of him for he was a pretty ordinary dancer, but the other hand it is not the same angel and make her work at wearing dishes, or indeed at anything else, except singing." He aimed to endow an institution which would assist the articulate to study, but he died with making that provision. A group of his friends have started a foundation in his name to carry out idea. All the foundation has received thus far is the wonderful book *The Art of Making Stories*, home to some stories, home to many strangely final triumphs, the story of joining a white Masonic lodge being entertained by the King or Queen of England etc., etc., a lesson to anyone who wishes to learn the trick of success in spite of things, through his personality.
