RHINELANDER APPEAL MAYBE HEARD IN FALL Papers To Consist Of Two Printed Volumes, Comprising 1,455 Pages Which Cost $5,000 For Printing. (Preston News Service) Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 20—Wealthy young Leonard Kip Rhinelander, through his attorney Leonard M. Jacobs, is reported to have filed last Thursday in the Brooklyn part of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court an appeal from the decision denying annulment of his marriage to Alix Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, it was learned Saturday. The appeal papers are said to consist of two printed volumes, comprising 1,455 pages. Sixteen copies each are necessary for the appeal court record. It is claimed that the appeal papers contain the complete record of the trial of the suit for annulment, which Rhinelander brought against his beautiful wife, the testimony and all the exhibits, which includes the famous love letters, alleged to be unprintable. One of the letters is said to contain more than 2,000 words. It was learned that the appeal will not be argued until fall. It will have place on a court calendar printed about September 19, and will be heard sometime after October 4. Former Supreme Court Justice Isaac N. Mills, chief counsel for Rhinelander, will argue the appeal. It will not be necessary for the litigants to appear in court. The appeal carries out the announcement made by Judge Mills last March, when Justice Joseph Morlander denied the motion of Rhinelander to jury verdict would be promptly appealed. The jury last December found the marriage to be valid. Judge Mills said at time that the appeal would be taken on the ground that the evidence was against the weight of evidence and that Justice Morhauser made errors in the trial and in his charge to the jury. The cost of printing the testimony and exhibits on Rhinelander's appeal is said to have been more than $8,000. Rhinelander has remained in sequestration for a months it took to recover. It was reported on in the summer that he was Paris, but this was sub-duely depicted. Mrs. Rhinelander, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. George Jones, miled in July to visit relatives in Chelsea.

DAUGHTERS TO MAKE SPLENDID SHOWING All roads leading out of Norfolk Saturday lead on to Cleveland. The Elks, the antlered herd, will point their antlers toward the mid-western city for their 27th annual conclave, and indications point to a large crowd of "Hello Bills" and their friends going to attend and witness the big event. There will be a number of Daughter Elks and admirers of the Daughters in the local contingent. The delegates will entrain and shoot out by automobile Friday and Saturday. The Excelsior Band will accompany the delegation from Norfolk, and although the band does not expect to bag the best hand prize it expects to let the Elks in Cleveland and know these Norfolk girls there. Norfolk will carry a Marchest Club of fifty, together with Marchest Clubs of Norfolk and Eureka Temples of 40 ladies. The band expects to carry fifty men, and all told, Norfolk Elks will be well represented in Cleveland. In fact, Tidewater will turn out strong. Portsmouth, Bampton, Newport News, Hampton, Phoebus, Cape Charles, Suffolk have their delegations in order and are ready to start for the Grand Conclave in Cleveland. The Tidewater delegation will hit the midwestern city with a "whoop" and from the time of their arrival until the last ballot is cast everybody will know they are there. Norfolk lodges go to this convention with an unprecedented record of twelve-month progress, both the men's lodges and the Temples, Eureka Lodge No. 5 goes to the meeting with a membership increase of more than 1500 over last year, while Greater Norfolk No. 132 also carries a big membership increase. The Temples have enjoyed one of their most prosperous years. Although no local Elks are candidates for Grand Lodge offices, it would not be surprising if the lightning should strike him one of them. Certain local Elks, it is well-known, have records for achievements in behalf of Elkdom that compare with the records of the best Elk lodges. The local delegation is sitting tight regarding which way it will vote when the halloting for the Grand Exalted Ruler begins, but it is quite generally conceded that the Tidewater antlers will stampede for J. Finley Wilson, incumbent, when the proper time arrives. Wilson is quite a favorite locally, as he is a product of Eureka Lodge No. 5. Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, Grand Daughter Secretary and founder of the Daughter Elks will again be the recipient of deserved encomium when she arrives in Cleveland. Her work for feminine Elkdom stands as one of the most brilliant chapters in the history of women's fraternal organizations, and the thousands of lady Elks honor and revile her name. That she will carry an excellent report goes without saying. All in, all more than 200 Elks are expected to go from Norfolk alone to the convention and the Tidwater delegation will probably consist of close to four hundred. Wives, lovers, sweethearts, friends and families wishing to say or kiss good-bye be at the Union Station Saturday night at 8 o'clock and hear the Excelsior Band toot au revoir. Sheriff Outwits Mob By the Associated Negotiator McComb, Miss., Aug. 18- Despite the fact that a jury was unable to fix the blame because circumstances pointed towards accidental shooting, a mob attempted to take Willis Martin, 17-year old Negro from the sheriff, with the avowed intention of lynching, Sandy Simmons, the sheriff, succeeded in placing the prisoner in a safe place in a distant jail. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1926 Negro Candidate For Governor Is In Fifth Place Cleveland, Ohio.—The unofficial count of the vote on August 10, 1926, for the twelve candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, shows that the only Afro-American candidate Harry C.

BONNEY YOUTH SOUGHT IN DEATH OF JAMES KALE Blame for the death by drowning of James A. Kale, 15-year-old, at the Berkley Oil Docks last Saturday was placed on John Lee Bonney, 16-year-old, by Coroner C. D. MacDonald, who held an inquest into the death Tuesday afternoon. Mr. John Shark and Mrs. Ida Kellogg criticized that they saw Bonney pull Kale from the sand boat. They also testified that Bonney was after he saw Kale struggling in the water in an effort to get back to shore. Shark, according to Mrs. Kellogg, did all he could for the drowning, boy, rowing out to him and trying to get him into the boat. Bonney, she said, stood on the shore. The verdict was that: "John Lee Bonney pulled Kale from a sandbar by one foot beyond Kale's depth and allowed him to drown without assistance." Detectives are seeking Bonney, whose mother claims that he has disappeared from home. To Launch Drive For $200,000 Hospital Cleveland, Ohio, August 3—That the colored citizens of Cleveland are in earnest regarding a great hospital is evidenced by systematic plans now being drawn up to secure a sum of approximately $200,000.00 for this purpose. Hardly had the plan for the hospital been launched before a check in the sum of $100.00 was contributed by Dr. M. H. Lambwright, a prominent physician who is actively interested in the movement. At a recent meeting, of the colored physicians and surgeons of the city where the trustees of the Hospital Association were entertained as guests, a number of pledges were received aggregating some $2000.00. According to P. W. Lemon, chairman of the Mercy Hospital Campaign Committee, within the most few weeks campaign headquarters of the Mercy Hospital Association will be opened with an executive secretary in charge and under the direction of the Campaign Committee a systematic drive will be waged for funds for the erection of Mercy Hospital. The entire colored population of Cleveland will be canvassed and donations to the Hospital from persons in every walk of life will be solicited.

FRENCH DANCE CRITIC SEES BLACK PERIL Colored American Genius Exercising Powerful Influence Upon French Music, Declares Russian Writer. POPULARITY· OF JAZZ ALARMING TO CRITICS (By the Associated Negro Press) Paris, France.—Colored America's genius is exerting a powerful influence upon French music and dancing. The popularity of jazz of which France recognizes the Negro origin, has become so popular as to alarm certain critics. "We have certainly no color prejudice," says Helle, famous critic, in the Fronde, "but we don't like particularly to be victims of conquests, and that of the old world by the Negroes of America is perhaps excessive. "That the 'loose-jointed' school should have a passing vogue is not surprising, but the mode is lasting and becoming daily more strongly entrenched. From the cake-walk to the Charleston, Frenchmen have 'danced Negro.' "It is all very well to admire the dancing of ebony limbs; but must we imitate it, and in so doing neglect our charming delicate rhythms of the past—the elegant minuet, the gavotte, and the noble pauvane? Why not copy the proud carriage of our black Senegalese rather than the cacophonies of California? "A woman, Mrs. Beecher Stowe, wrote a book of admirable generosity which made all Europe weep. The grand-nephews of Uncle Tom are getting their revenge today by a musical 'occupation' of the old continent which give them a great deal of amusement." Makes Record In Wheat Growth (By the Associated Negro Press) Hutchinson, Kans., Aug. 17 —A few years ago "Tom King," as he was then called, became thoroughly disgusted with life in the city as a day laborer, with nothing on his side of the books after the week's toil. He took his family and moved to a farm near Plains. He claims he had nothing but his willingness to work on. He rented the land and underwent all the trials of a tenant farmer. Today he has one of the biggest bank accounts in Plains, a farm place, and drives a fine car. In Southwest Kansas, King is in a wheat baron, claiming to be the only colored wheat king of the southwest. He harvested a crop of 22,000 bushels of wheat from his 600 acres this year. Its worth is estimated at something like $28,000 today. In his front yard is piled up one heap containing almost 10,000 bushels. TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS EXPLOSION Whites Lyn Save W Deat Whites Lynch Negroes--Negroes Save White Women From Death Under Wrecked Auto MAN RIDDLED WITH BULLETS IN JAIL CELL Jailer Declares He Is Unable To Identify A Single Participant In Sunday Morning's Lynching. STATE'S ATTORNEY SUMMONED AN OFFICER (Special Correspondence.) Roanoke, Va.—Virginians awoke Sunday morning to learn that while they slumbered during the hours before dawn the name and majesty of the Commonwealth suffered an outrage through the persecution of a lynching, and incidentally the State without monetary cost got a vast amount of national advertising. Raymond Baird, 31, held in Wythe county jail at Wytheville on a charge of having committed assault on a 19-year old white girl, daughter of a Wythe county farmer, was shot nine time thrue the head while he lay sprawled out alley on his cot in the jail by members of a mob of 50 masked men who stormed the bastile after procuring the keys from the jailer at the point of guns. Bird's head was then beaten to a pulp and his body tied to the rear of an automobile, dragged twelve miles to the farm of the father of his alleged victim where it was swung to a tree limb and riddled with bullets. Thus, Virginia retains its place in the column of lynching states. Significantly, the lynching Sunday morning occurred at Wytheville, the home of former Governor Bruce Trinkle, who it was called, went to Worcester when the State's last lynching occurred there quite a year ago and in mild speech admonished the populace to go home and resume their routine affairs. They hade by his advice and the lynching soon was forgotten. Promises Grand Jury Action Commonwealth's Attorney Heuser of Wythe county promises that a special court jury will be called some time next week to investigate the lynching of Sunday morning. Governor Harry F. Byrd has offered state aid, but Mr. Heuser says "as the situation is quiet his offer was refused." The county and city authorities are conducting the investigation, says the Commonwealth's Attorney. The alleged attack for which Bird was lynched was said to have occurred several months ago but was not made known by the young woman until Saturday. It is claimed that she was terrorized into silence. Bird had worked for her father for five years. J. C. Richardson, the jailer, stated that he was awakened by the mob and roughly handled. The keys were seured from him at the point of guns, he said. As there is no strong outer door to the jail, the entry of the mob was without difficulty. Through it all Bird slept soundly in his cell, it is said, never awakening. Other prisoners were awakened and cried out, but the jail is isolated and no one heard, it is declared. The jailer says he was unable to identify a single participant in the lynching. Summons One Policeman Richardson notified the Commonwealth Attorney a short time after the mob left the jail, it was said. The jail phone was disconnected and the jailer, it is claimed, phoned from a nearby hotel. The Commonwealth's Attorney responded and summoned a single Lynched In Jail ION IN nch Negroes- White Wome th Under W Arkansas Stages A Lynching (By the Associated Negro Press) Lewisville, Ark., Aug.—After bloodhounds had chased him into a posse headed by a Miller county deputy sheriff, Charles Powell, 25, alleged slayer of Deputy Sheriff James Dooley, white, was seized by a wild mob of angry-whites of this town and hanged from a tree about seven miles from here.

The sheriff of this county found the body sometime after the mob had finished its work and brought it into town. policeman, it is said, to intercept a mob of fifty men which was by that time well on its way to the tree nine miles distant where Bird's body was swuping up. Wytheville was not excited over the affair, according to reports. The lynching was perfectly planned. The victim's body was cut down by the county sheriff. The Commonwealth's Attorney of Wythe county, learning of the lynching while the mob was enroute to swing the body from the tree, summoned one policeman to intercept the 50 masked men, it is said.

BROKEN ENGAGEMENTS Nampii Dear Naomi, I am sending you the stamp language, as I happen to have it and I noticed that none of your young readers sent it to you. I am a reader but not a young one, and I do enjoy your wonderful advice. Naomi, I was engaged to be married this month, but he and I had a carrel two weeks ago and I have not seen him since. Do you think he intended to marry me in the first place (I mean at all)? Nettie. Dear Nettie: I am sure you should not feel that your friend did not intend to marry you, just because things have turned out as they have. So many lovers quarrels end that way. Maybe, he will seek you again and things will be straightened out. Give him a little time and if you were in the wrong, do not be afraid to acknowledge your fault. Naomi. See how lovely folks can be, and how a reader has stepped up and helped me out and I am so glad to send this in for you. The Government desires the passage stamp to be placed on a letter in the extreme right hand corner. This is requested in order to facilitate the cancelling of a stamp by special machine made for that purpose. Lovers, however, oppose this regulation and use the stamp as a means of conveying a message to their beloved. The following are the usual meanings as to the position of the stamp: Placing the stamp in the upper right hand corner at a slight angle means: "I expect an immediate reply." At an angle of forty-five degrees "I am provoked at your silence." Placing the stamp upside down: "You are very cruel." Placing the stamp half an inch from the upper-right hand edge means: "Expect me tonight." Placing the stamp in the upper left hand corner: "Be careful how you reply to this." Placing the stamp in the lower right hand corner: "Beware, father has caught on." Tearing a stamp in half and placing each half with a slight space between in the upper right hand corner: "Our friendship is at an end." Tearing a stamp in half and placing the stamp in the upper left hand corner: "You have broken my heart." Using two one cent stamps, in place of two cent stamp, if placed along side of each other in the upper right hand corner means: "My love for you has doubled." Two penny stamps one above the other: "I will call to see you to night." TURN BETWEEN CONFLICTING OPINIONS I am a brown-skin girl with heavy black hair, five feet six inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds. I am 20 years of age, have finished high school and have had two years of normal work and one year, two months spent at college and have taught for two years. I am now in love with two young men who treat me very nicely. Each has proposed to me. Both of them each time they are with me tell me how much they love me. I admire both and don't know which my admiration runs the farthest for. When I am with either, I long for the other. Please give me your best advice as to what would be best for me to do, that the steps taken might not be regretted. I see each twice a month. They never fail to meet all their obligations and promises. Do you think I will ever be happy with either of them? M. L. E. Dear M. L. E. If you have two such nice fellows as that, and then do not know which one you like best. I am afraid you are not in love with either of them. Why not try them out and see which has the best traits, habits and greater amount of patience with your faults, as I am sure you have them. You cannot love them both alike, you only think so. Have you ever had them with you and watched their attitude? That's a pretty good way to find out. It is not likely they will have the same way all the way through. If you really want either one, why go and quiz yourself thoroughly. C. SINGLETON Newspapers • Magazines • Books Cigars • Cigarettes • Tobacco Candles, Fc.

Added Attractions On September 4 at 9 p. m., a meeting of the U. S. Colored Golfers' Association will be held. On the 8th at 9:30 a.m., a final golfing tournament will be testified dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs.-R. H. Hawkins, who made The Siege Of St. Louis Before the ink that prints this column has well dried, a champion of tennisdom will have risen or risgn again above the斗 of battle above St. Louis. That man maint ceases to ponder for facts. Yes, in view of the acknowledged fact, that on August 21 a number of tennis champions will have to forgive their way to the front. I feel a certain impulse to wonder who the masters will be. As far as the doubles events go, the state of wonderment is one of frenzy. Teams so rapidly dissolve and organize that to attempt to wonder who will come through is about as easy as shooting ducks with a water pistol. Again, doubles contestants often don't give their full support because it either is in store for a coming singles match or has been partly dissipated by same. Add to that luck, breaks, "off days," dead balls, soft courts, bad decisions and stomach troubles and your chances of picking a winner are slim. In the ladies' department, Lula Ballard will be the defending champion. Whatever psychological handicap that imposes will be Lula's. If she is not a thoroughly convinced young woman that she can stage a come-back and regain her lost, grown, Isadora Channels too suffers a handicap—one of doubt and injured confidence. "And if Miss Ora Washington, who is now rated at No. 3, is able to withstand what few mental invasions that befall her lot she, Miss Ballard and Miss Channels should make it pretty merry for the "dark horse" whose intrusion also is a question of great doubt. Miss Ballard is a consistent southpaw, and propels a somewhat disturbing forand drive. Her confidence seems well grown d. d. Miss Channels swails with the other mit and belongs to the school of stylists. Miss Washington is a determined tennis player and her fight should carry her a long way. You: pick your winner here, absolutely not. I will be a munching, lifeguardier is much easier task. No, I will not even guess, but I am inclined to believe that Isadora Channels is going to be the survivor. The Real Complex Why: making a watch with a monkey's wrench should be a less difficult task than accurately picking a walk away with the men's singles crown, is not easy to say, but it just is. Edgar G. Brown, who in 1922 and 1923 merited that senior rank among racket wielders of Afra A meira; left Bordentown last summer a more prudent tenn is pleaser than he was when he arrived upon that memorable battleground. One thing I believe Mr. Brown learned is that all court game; encompasses a broader scope of strokes than his mastery included. And I don't believe that an ardent student and lover of tennis like Mr. Brown would allow a serious flaw of that nature to mar his possibilities of another do- Prizes Offered The Prizes amounting to $300,00 and subject to any alteration necessitated, by ties will be divided as follows.

September 6 at 9 p. m., a grand ball will be given and the prizes and trophies will be awarded by the Hon. J. W. Schenck, of Boston. Taylor, who was a runner-up in the tennis tournament staged by the Tidewater Tennis Club on their courts on Goff street in 1924; is considered one of the best of the few golfers in this section and he will go to this meet primed to bring back one of the many trophies offered. It isn't expected that he will have extreme difficulty in coming through in one or more of the events. There will be entrants in this championship match from as far west as Chicago and as far south as Georgia, possessing ability to offer some keen competition on the course of the Mapledium club. minion. The Edgar G. B. Brown that surveys St. Louis will not be only an improved tennis player but also a coach. He will not easily be subdued. More Troubles To Add But Mr. Brown is only one figure in this complex. The present champion, Ted Thompson is to reckoned with Ted's assortment of storkes sent into defeat last summer the best. And he is as likely to repeat this year as not. Thompson has added a dependable topspin drive to his powerful over-hand smash, a sliced drive, and a blower volley, he is a sure However, there is considerable doubt as to whether the Washington youth has really completed these needed repairs. Tally Holmes, the "old master" is probably out of the running. The "scientific American driving game" has been developed now to the place where an unorthodox one cannot hope to conquer. It seems highly impossible that Mr. Holmes at this late year would be able to desert his dependable style which has won for him four championships to date. Saitch, too, is a worthy contender. So are a dozen or so other stylists of smaller capabilities. But Saitch is sure to count in the first five or six. Another "Dark Horse" While Mr. Kenneth Worde, of New Jersey, if he butts in with the leaders, will be technically a "dark horse," truth is that Mr. Worde is destined to carn a place in the first half dozen. He is a stylist of the first water and a dead game fighter at that. His summer campaign thus far indicates that Kenneth is going to offer everybody a lot of trouble at St. Louis. Surely he will find a beth with the leaders. And So Back To Prophecy Barring the intervention of more "dark horses" the main fight should be with those named. I would not be surprised if Edgar G. Brown becomes the men's singles champion. But, mind you, I still contend that I am keeping my hands off of this business of picking winners. Its consecrated bunk. Tuskegee's New Bowl Improved Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Aug. 19—Tuskegee new Athletic Bowl, said by the country, has undergone further improvements during the summer. A group of men have been engaged at work in the Bowl since the first of June, leveling and sodding the playing field, terracing and grading the walls of the Bowl also constructing, sod gutters to take care of the storm water. Six hundred and fifty cubic yards of cinders have been removed from the Institute Power Plant to the Bowl where a quarter mile track is under construction.

Bassnight, a 15-year-old youngster bore the brunt of Windsor's hurling, fanning eighteen batters. In the second game, he retired thirteen batters. Watson lead in wielding the wicked willow, securing two circuit clouts in each game. The Red Sox is' one of the best teams in this locality, seeming always able to take the measure of the other aggregations. SUGGS MAY GET POST AS NEXT FEATHER CHAMP New York.-Since Louis K i d Keanl jumped down off his featherweight throne, it seems that another tournament will soon be the order of the day with the idea of deciding another chap for the regal position. There are quite a number of flashy little scrappers in this division and if a tournament is staged, some brilliant action will be in evidence. Chick Suggs, the New England fighter, who does right much scrapping in the bantam division, but is classed as a legitimate feather, seems to be leading the fray in this neck of the woods. It is believed that Suggs will give the rest of the gang a lively time in the titular race. Some of the old timers say Suggs has a style similar to Little George Dixon, who once held both the bantam and featherweight titles at one time. Some say he is the greatest colored fighter living today. Carries Punch Chick carries a nice wallop in either fin, coupled with speed and cleverness. When he gets going, he is hard to stop. Suggs will have to be reckoned with when this tourney business gets under way. He has not lost a fight in his division for some months, and from indications, will not lose one in many more months to come.

FORCED TO FOUR SETS TO BEST FORMER NATIONAL TENNIS CHAMP FORCED TO FOUR SETS TO BEST FORMER NATIONAL TENNIS CHAMP FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. (Specialty Journal and Guide) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 14-Playing one of the-best games ever seen in these parts, Ted Thompson, national net champion, 1928 New York Stadium defeated 'Edg Brown, twice former national champion in four sets for the midwestern tennis championship today before a-throng of society folks, including Bingham, president of the American Tennis Association; Jimmie Hogue of New York, Gerald F. Norman, secretary of the American Tennis Association, Flushing, Long Island and the Rev. Shelton Hate Bishop of New York and his wife the former Miss Carey, daughter of Bishop Carey of the A. M. E. Church. It is doubtful if any other player in the court; especially in the West could have stood off the attack and the strategy of the youthful Washington lad who is planning on entering Syracuse University this fall. Playing Brown a strictly back court, game he would cross the former champion by getting him to the net and then shoot one by him at lightning speed, lob it softly over his head for a sure point; as time and again the ball fell only fair by inches. Brown began to stall for darkness towards the end of the deciding set, taking unnecessary minutes to wipe his glasses on too many surfaces. The battle narrowed down to an Eust. vergus West match. Brown And That's That. It is one or several things why the incessant hullabaloo on the Dempsey-Tunney-Wills imbrogio I continues to be a thing that is still being hung in the balance. It has come to pass that the esteemed Committee on Licenses brings about the main hitch because the inert and indolent ruler of the regal throne of swat has failed to comply with rules as set forth in the constitution of the New York State Boxing Commission, controlled by the Three Wrangling Brothers, which require a champion to defend his honors, at least once every six months, of course, providing there are logical contenders looming over the pugilistic horizon. This, Dempsey has not done, in that he has rebuffed the perennial challenges filed by Harry of Harlem and has not engaged in the pastime of fistfuls. The license committee, headed by Col. J. J. Phelan and backed by Col. D. Walker Wear, is somewhat reticent and reserved in its statements, only saying as much as will, insufficiently to some, define its actions and stand. As stated in the outset, there is one or several things and where Wills is concerned, it seems to be more of the latter than the former, a meeting between Hizsoron Jack de Joke and the Stevedore. Among the several things are, politics, a fear on the part of Dempsey, and the chiefest among them all, a non desire of a possibility of having the regal throne of the heavyweights darkened by the approach of one other than a Nordic, or near Nordic. Many Opinions Advanced There have been many opinions advanced by the wise, the weak and other intellectual supernumeraries and lesser lights, hearing on the same thing. Not wanting another non-Nordic heavy weight champion seems to stand out as the most ratiated of all, and many equipedalians have been spilled in a feeble attempt to find a reason. In trying to deny Wills his legitimate chance of battling for the world's title, many have attempted to depotentiate his claim, but there are those who are standing by. There is no better manifestation of the attitude of a bulk of the fans than that displayed at the ringside of a scrap in Madison Square Garden less, than a fortnight ago, when the champion was given the high hat and Wills acclaimed with a vociferous and obstreperous outburst of 22 karat applauses. The pulse of the public was felt and it did not require a veteran diagnostician to determine the feelings of that vast mob of wild-eyed fans, composed mostly of Nordics. It has been concluded for many moons by the bulk of the followers of the racket, that action is what's desired and it doesn't matter whether the world's champion is red, white, black, blue or green, with or without horns. From this, it is obvious that it is the high-fighter who are blocking the way, representing St. Louis but the crowd began to pull for Thompson Thompson won the first set, 10-8, dropped the second, 3-6 but took the last, two-, 7-5 and 7-5. Thompson's uncanny chop stroke baffled the former champion and times he was forced to net the ball or drive outside. Thompson's ability to cross Brown and successfully pace" shots brought round and sound of applause from the gallery. The Thompson-E. R. Simmons match, however, proved to be a harder fought one than the Brown-Thompson. In this match Simmons was defending his midwest crown and almost upset Thompson. The battle went the limit, Thompson winning, 9-7, 3-6, 5-7, 7-5, 8-6. This was played on Friday. Another match the same day drew a large gallery of fans. Richard Hudlin, St. Louis city champion and former member of the University of Chicago's varsity tennis squad met Edgar G. Brown, runner up in the St. Louis play. Brown was returned victor, 6-4, 8-6, 2-4. Hudlin's return of Brown's drives were wild, especially in the last set. Hudlin beat Brown recently for St. Louis championship. Miss Lillian Hines, Kittrell College, North Carolina, Southeastern runner-up went down in defeat in the finals of the ladies' singles when Mrs. Dorothy Ewell, Chicago, number four in the tennis ratings won, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4. fearing that they will be unable to get their fingers in the pie, if a non-Nordic romps away with the time worn crown, emblematic of heavyweight supremacy and they are grabbing at everything in an effort to buttress their claims against the endeavors of others who seek to bring Wills and Demysure together in fictitious combat. This mess has done more harm to the game than any actions or conduct or alleged actions and conduct of any man who has held the title. Anything that anyone might have done, surely he or they has or have been adequately punished. Individuals should be consured for their indiscretion; not groups. What does it matter who is champion? Complexion should not be a barrier. Fear of complications and other more or less serious affairs because of a Negro winning the title are nothing but mere chimera. There should be less fear now, it seems in these days, that a vaulted civilization, than in the days, when Johnson, Dixon, Walcot and Gans reigned in their respective divisions. And Again; More Queries Why did Commissioner Brower change his vote? Aha! quite a riddle. There is something rotten in Denmark and it isn't so pleasantly odoriferous even this far away. It cannot be that Brower suddenly realized that he owed a duty to the public. That is a thing he should have taken cognizance of when elected to his office. Of course, Mudoon, for some reason, didn't like him along, but Brower, after pledging his support to the Chairman, Jas. Parley, and then do a Houdini out of it and string with the others who fain would stick their fingers in the pie and draw forth a jussical plum laden with ducats. Why should the boxing commission use language that smacks of litigation? Why should it seek to carry the question to court if the license body does not feel disposed to grant Dempsey the required approbation to engage in modified nymeh? There is something somewhere that has not been disclosed, but the light of truth, though sometimes slow will surely reach the remotest nook and cranny and bring forth facts that are now hidden: Just Received Another Carload of $27 School Wardrobe TRUNKS Barneys ESTABLISHED 1893 INC 510 Main St BAILEY PARK Sunday, Monday and Wednesday Delmar's Fighting Lions will appear in Thrilling and Sensational Fight!

Tentative plans had been made for holding the game at the Stadium of the Sesqui-Cente nial, but because of the large expense involved, and the better situation of Franklin Field, it was deemed advisable to make the change. To attend games at the Sesqui Stadium it was necessary to pay an entrance fee to the Exposition first, and the additional price of entrance to the game. This will be the first time that any Negro institution has had the ure of Franklin Field, and it is felt that because of the many attractions of this well known stadium, and the fact that Negro athletes are given such candid recognition at the Annual Pennsylvania Relay Games the general public will be more inclined to librally patronize what is going to be the biggest inter-sectional contest ever staged between colored Coach Young is confronted with the problem of building an entirely new team. At the present time it looks as if Captain Grasty is to be the only regular from last year's team, who will form the squad for 1926. The coaching staff this year will consist of U. S. Young; Wr.

Name Address This increased demand for Negro labor of all sorts, especially those skilled in trades and handicrafts, has opened a new industrial opportunity for the Negro. He is finding employment in the building trades and occupations requiring skilled and partly skilled labor. The demand is limited only by the supply. Bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers, plumbers, electricians, etc. are scarce. As the daily wage in the trades range from $8.00 to $14 per diem and even more, it can be seen what an opportunity is provided for the Negro youth in the field of industrialism. Negro industrial schools report that their graduates and undergraduates are in great demand at a wage highly remunerative. St. Paul's School, Lawrenceville, Virginia, which maintains one of the most practical schools of this type, in the country, reports that in the bricklaying department alone, the school has this summer seventeen men, graduates and undergraduates, working in Washington at a wage ranging from $6.00 to $15.00 per day. These men are working for construction companies on high class business and apartment constructions that involve mechanics of the highest class. These contractors report that these young men they employ are measuring up to expectations, both in production and excellence of workmanship. St. Paul's School is making a special effort to provide training opportunities in trades. The courses are practical and designed to meet actual trade conditions and requirements. Tradesmen trained at this school are in great demand on account of their efficiency and the very practical nature of the training given. Studebakers Cheap DESIRED REPRESENTED R Car Co., Inc.

THE GREAT INTER- DENOMINATIONAL UNION REVIVAL A great interdenominational union revival was held under the auspices of the following churches and pastors: Second Calvary, Rev. C. P. Madison; Monumental, A. M. E., Rev. A. C. Clark; Shiloh, Rev. V. V. K. Stokes; John Wesley, Rev. A. M. McGowan; St. Paul, Rev. J. D. Crisp, Garrett's Temple, Rev. R. K. D. Garrett. This revival has brought about a great spiritual awakening. Shiloh's church converted, backbuilders have been living in the city with no church home have joined some church and they are now uniting with this band of Christian workers and have become kingdom builders with the various churches of the city. The fruits of this meeting have not been confined to the churches of the meeting but the following churches have been the recipient of the spiritual awakening: First Calvary Baptist Church, Bute Street Baptist Church, Mt. Bute Street Baptist Church, Church of Christ Disciples, Holy Temple Church, United Christian Church, Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church and St. John A. M. E. Church. The revival has been a material success. This revival has demonstrated the spirit of the Good Samaritan, and obeying the voice of Him who said Go and do likewise. In the spirit of the Master, many homes have been aided in a material way. Where there was sickness, medical aid has been rendered. Where there was no food, provisions have been sent, and even in the prison walls visitation has been made and appeals to the court have so impressed the judge on his bench that the prisoners have been released, and mothers have been gladdened by the return of their sons to their bosom.

A Myers Monday evening at the usual time. The meeting was called to order by the president. A full attendance of the members was present. The meeting was a lively one, and much was done towards convention plans. The branch is expecting one of the best conventions ever held in the State. No pains are spared to make the sojourn of the Letter Carriers of the old Dominion a pleasant one. The committees have worked very hard, and each committee made a full report. Plans are completed for the local program, which will consist of speeches from the Postmaster, Assistant Postmaster and other officials and two prominent citizens of the city will also appear on the program. The convention will meet at the Y. M. C. A., 221 Marshall avenue Saturday evening at 8 p. m. All delegates will go to the "Y" and be assigned to homes. The eight o'clock session will be a business meeting, election of officers and other routine business will be considered. After this refreshments will be served at the close of the meeting. Every minute of the next day's sessions will be crowded with some of interest. At 11 o'clock the convention will assemble by St Paul's A. M. E. Church, and the annual sermon will be preached by the pastor, Rev. G. C. Taylor. Dinner will be served at the "Y", and at 3 o'clock a public meeting will be held at the "Y".

Surely the Master's voice has been obeyed from a material way as the results of this meeting. Do you remember this Union meeting have made a material sacrifice in closing their churches at nights and closing all summer activities for the success of the meeting. Realizing as we do that the awakening of Christianity in the community is a potent factor to its fullest development in its material and spiritual life of the individual, surely the churches and pastors inspired by prayer for this meeting, the encouragement, cooperation and support of all Christian workers and kingdom builders. REV. R. H. BOWLING, Pastor Flist Baptist Church The executive board of Union meeting offers resolutions of thanks to Dr. R. H. Bowling for having interest and urged his members from his pulpit to attend and cooperate with the meeting, also thanks the following pastors for attendance to service: Rev. Johnson, Rev. Lee, and Rev. Smith also pastors of the following churches—pastor of United Presbyterian, pastor of Holy Temple and pastor Bethany Presbyterian and other ministers. Also the executive board expresses thanks to the choir of the Union meeting which consisted of the choirs of the different churches for songs rendered, also Miss Almira Street, pianist.

Church MOTHS AND MEN Like a garment that is moth-eaten—Job 13:28. A SERMON BY JOHN D. CHISP Pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church In one of the loftiest passages of the Book of Job, occurs the expression: "And he is like a rotten thing that consumer, like a garment that is moth-eaten." A graphic picture of a character falling to pieces! One can almost see the miserable man or woman, character all moth-eaten, rotting on the dung heap, thrust aside as useless. Says a great writer: "Moth-eaten garments, are a sad sight, so is a moth-eaten character. One is as secretly destroyed as the other." Men Are Characters I would have you remember that men are characters and not reputations. So generally is this recognized that books have been written on the "Great Characters," rather than the "Great Reputations," of this or that time. Clothes moths are workers in secret in the darkness of closet or trunk. They attack woolens and valuable furs laid away after the winter's wear. Moths make no noise and give no warning of the destruction they are working. It is only when the owner takes the garments out to put them on that the work of the moths appears, then it is discovered that the labor of months and many hands of expenditure of thousands of dollars on the garments be rendered worthless by these invisible pests. Thus, are characters destroyed by little secret sins and lapses from the straight line of conduct. It takes years to build a character and much expenditure of time and labor; yet, useless we keep close watch, secret sins and evil thoughts indulged will destroy the work of years in a moment. It has been wisely urged: "Beware of moths, of foibles, of CARD OF THANKS We take this method to thank our friends and neighbors for assistance rendered and words of sympathy during the illness and death of our daughter, Portia Johnella. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Robinson. CARD OF THANKS CAILD OF THANKS I wish to thank my many friends during their sympathy toward me during the distress of my foster son's death. James Jones, Matthew, who was crowned Thursday, gust 4th. This applies largely to those who served as pall bearers and who were dear playmates of his. Respectfully, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Matthews, 1230 Church Street, City faults, of little mean, sharpootied toes that cut and eat and destroy character." It is well to remember that no garment is destroyed by moths or bees, but moths are destroyed for work silently and extensively for work and months. So, no character is destroyed suddenly. Moths of Character The moths of character may be at work for months or, perhaps years before the character fails to pieces. The collapse comes suddenly under some great strain of temptation; the denouncement shocks every one. The destruction of character has been going on for a long time which culminated in this disgrace. What the world sees and hears is the result of the work of the moths. It did not see nor hear their silent, secret work upon the character through the years. IOST me the moths do need me the wounded against transgressions. "Great passions blast the soul. Great crimes are so bold and reckless and defiant that they uproot life from it's foundations. But these tornado-like destroyers are not the worst enemies of character. The tree that stands for years unearthed by lightning falls victim of invisible decay. It was the wise Soloman in the Song of Songs who urged, "Take me the foxes, the little foxes, the little foxes, it is, the little sins, the little wickednesses, the little transgressions persisted in secret through the months and years which cause the character to fall to pieces like a rotten thing—like a moth-eaten garment. It is unwise to attempt to wear moth-eaten garments in public. They are likely to fail you at the most critical time and leave you bare in sight of strangers. It is not wise to attempt to use men or women of moth-eaten characters in places of trust and responsibility in church or state. They will bring disgrace on the church and on their friends when most is expected of them. Moth-eaten garments cannot be patched or darned unless taken in time. What is the best remedy? Any housewife will tell you the best remedy for moths, is sunlight. Hang the garments in the sun and let its rays search them for hours, and the moths will die or depart. Moths cannot stand sunlight. Moths cannot be killed. The sovereign remedy for moth-eaten characters is Sun of Righteousness. Expose such characters to the searching and beneficent rays of that Sun which the proph- NOTICE NOTICE STATEMENT OF FACTS CONCERNING OUR SUSPENSION It has been brought to our attention that the facts concerning our suspension from the 67th Division of the Berkley Order of Universal Negro Improvement Association, have been misquoted and the public has been mis-informed as to the true facts leading up to our suspension. Therefore, we take these means, not in a form of an apology, but to have these facts brought to the attention of the public as they actually happened. We were all ardent workers of this organization prior to our suspension and gave up our time as well as money to help this organization prosper and progress along the lines by which this organization was founded, and worked with great zeal to uphold the traditions and teachings of this order and see that the fundamental principles were carried out to the last degree. We objected to certain procedure upon the part of the officers, which we believed were not in keeping with the principles of the organization as laid down by the parent body, and had reason to believe that their action was influenced by an event in the order that wereponsored to the organization directly in opposition with the principles of the organization. Being in the minority and knowing that our only salvation was the Parent Body and having the welfare and interest of the organization at heart, we petitioned the Parent Body and laid before it in our petition the true condition of the 57th Division of Berkley. Our petition also carried a request to the divisional division one of its representatives to investigate the situation of the local division. A representative of the Parent Body came to investigate the condition of the local division. Right from the start we had reason to believe that he was prejudiced against us, and in fact, he admitted his displeasure at our petitioning the Parent Body direct rather than having put the facts before him first. With this prejudice at heart this representative then attempted to investigate the condition of the local division, and it was only a matter of minutes before the element in the organization sponsored these false principles, had swung him over to their side. Without hearing our version of the conditions at all he called to the Secretary to enroll the names signed to the petition to the Parent Body and declare them suspended for a period of three months. In accordance with the by-laws of this organization, "a violation of any law should be brought before the advisory board and tried." A "trial" according to the constitution of this country calls for both parties to have their side of the case heard, and inasmuch that we were suspended without a hearing, we feel as though we have never been given a fair and impartial trial.

Preparation was needed by the Negro if he were some potent in the scene of action. And preparation through education. And education generally came by distance at schools and colleges. And without centers of where could there be systematic training? Negroian whites and prophetic Negroes were keenly aware of the situation. In the hearts of a grateful people exists a knowledge of their work. In the far-flung of this nation stand today the work of their hands, growing, ever improving institutions of learning. Like men's Beauty, the service these schools and colleges rendered and are rendering is their own excuse for ginia. There, in two congressional districts, Negroes are in decided majority. But as a political unit they might just as well not exist, for present practical purposes. And this in spite of the fact that the fault is not entirely their own. In republican forms of government the use of the citizen's voting power is his defense, his vigilance his duty, trespassed a duty, it transgressed his right to right—to ensure clean administration and a squarer deal with unbiased officials. It is axiomatic to write that we have neglected the American citizen's greatest weapon, neglected it woefully. Did Not Fail This Time But those Negroes who were instrumental in founding Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, as it was then known, did not fail to use their votes to get members into the State Legislature. And those elected certainly did not fail in this instance to bring a momentous event to pass. The moral is clear, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute was established by an Act of the General Assembly, approved March 6, 1882. But at the time of its establishment its name was Virginia Normal. The management and control of the Institute was in the hands of a Board of Visitors of seven men. This body must conduct a College and such professional departments as it deemed fit. The Act further provided that the college curriculum should include the higher mathematics and the classics, and for the organization by the Institute of a Normal School possessing a course not to exceed three years in length. Money From Railroad Sale Money for the purchase of a suitable site for a school was to come from the sale of the Atlanta, Mississippi, and Ohio Railroad, $100,000 being retained for the purpose. In addition to covering the purchase price of a suitable site, this same sum was to be used in the construction of a building adequate for school uses. For the running expenses of the Institute the State was to appropriate twenty thousand dollars annually. The Governor's Commission appointed early in 1882 to select and purchase a site, settled upon Fleet's farm, located on a hill not far from Petersburg, bordering the Appomattox river and overlooking territory. Several reasons were advanced for the purchase of this property. The healthfulness of the location was undoubtedly. one. If it was not, it should have been. "After much delay," quoting Mrs. Ida Harris again "because of litigation making available the appropriation ordered, the Index Appeal of May 6, 1882, reminds me that the member of the House of Delegates, from the County of Dinwiddie, appeared before the commission. The advanced in a strong speech the location of the institution at Petersburg. 'He claimed,' the article says, that this city is the center of the black district; that there are more colored children to be educated in this section than in any other section of the state; and that the location here is desired by every member of the legislature except for the. The commission finally selected thirty acres of the final tract of the Fleet's farm, including the residence, as the site of the Institute—the price being $13,500." to be pathetic to history surrounding V. N. I. A. lobbies in historical interest. Fortifications built during the Civil War remain here and there. Firginia Doing Nothing Finally, the State of Virginia doing nothing sixteen years later lost for the education of later citizens. That is, not compared to that which it have done. After a young man dreamed and saw visions. He ended the establishment of an institution for the higher education area. When his dream was fulfilled by him while a member of State Legislature into a bill for a school managed by the people and employing collaborators he was thought to be radically audacious.

We are told that hundreds of visitors from everywhere come to Petersburg to see the famous "Crater." To be driven over the grounds, 300 acres of it, of which 250 are under splendid cultivation, a n thirty seven of which comprise the campus and athletic field is a revealing experience. To inspect the twenty-three permanent buildings and such new buildings as the heating plant and gymnasium is to conceive something of the possibilities of the V. N. I. I. of the years to come. To be told that ten years ago the value of the school plant was $254,000 and that today its value is $707,000 is to be given an insight into efficient management. Each new building will follow a plot already grown up. "The growth of the Institute will thus be symmetrical and beautiful as well as appropriate and convenient." To be told by those who know that collegiate students show condensation for those who select trade or agricultural courses is to be told that V. N. I.

Two rooms, entered from a small upper porch, furnished sleeping quarters for a number of boys, while a small, frame, one room building in the rear, known as the "Senate" housed the other boys. The "Senate" was so called because of the frequent debates held there, and I think, probably, because of the oratorical powers of some of the boys, principal among whom was W. H. Lewis, of national fame as an orator and a past Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. Four of the first floor rooms were used as class rooms; the hall, with long tables in the center, served as the dining room. Corner Stone of Main Building Laid Immediately upon the purchase of the farm, efforts were begun for the erection of a main building. With the usual Masonic ceremonies the cornerstone of this structure was laid July 4, 1883. "The foundation was laid for a building so elaborate," one reads in the catalogue, "that the funds in hand (the remainder of the $100,000 left after the site was paid for,) would not meet the cost of construction. In 1885-86, thirty-two thousand dollars was appropriated for the completion of the building. Three additional appropriations totalling $25,700 were made at various times to finish it. It was completed in the spring of 1888 and was occupied that summer by the attendants of the Summer Normal. First Graduates In 1889 "A little more than a year after the Act of Incorporation was approved—to be accurate, in October, 1888—the school opened its doors for the admission of students. The school was held in the old "Great House," found standing on the farm. Three departments of study were established: Normal, Academic, and College. In 1889, the college department sent out its first graduates. From the first department was abandoned in 1902, forty-cig h men and one woman received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the Institute. "On May 20, 1887, the General Assembly approved an Act to amend the original Act of Incorporation, making the subjects taught in the normal and college courses the same as those then taught in well organized normal schools and colleges. On March 29, 1902, the Act of Incorporation, approved May 20, 1887, was amended by the General Assembly to provide among other things: "First, that the name of the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute be changed to the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, and that the number of members constituting the Board of Visitors be reduced from seven to four. "Second that the courses of study shall embrace normal and industrial departments, and such other departments as deemed proper and fitting by the Board of Visitation. "Third, that the legislature shall appropriate annually such funds as may seem advisable to carry on the work. Steady Growth in Curriculum "The Institute has grown steadily in recent years in the number of courses it offers. In 1907, a course in Vocational Agriculture was organized. In 1915, the program of studies was rewritten and raised to a full four year high school and a standard Normal school. In 1918, the Institute was selected by the State Board of Vocational Education as the agency for the training of teachers for vocational subjects in the public schools; and vocational courses under the Smith-Hughes Act in agriculture, auto-mechanics, and electricity. In 1921, the legislature passed a bill making the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute the Land Grant College for the Negro youth of the State. In 1922, the Board of Visitors authorized the Institute to offer college courses leading to degrees in education, agriculture, trades and industries, and home economics. Funds For Support Grow "The funds made available for support and enlargement have increased constantly from year to year. In the original act of Incorporation, provision was made for an annuity of $20,000 to meet the running expenses of the school. In 1888 this annuity was reduced to $15,000. In 1908, it was restored to the original sum, $20,000, with a special appropriation of $14,000 for 'improvements and drainage'. In 1912, it was raised to $21,000 and in 1914 to $22,500 with a special appropriation of $10,000 for bettiment. In 1918, the annuity was raised to $30,000 and the sum of $30,000 was appropriated for very needy repairs around the Institute. "By a special Act approved March 23, 1915, the sum $8,000 was appropriated for part payment on the twenty-eight and a half acres of land costing $262.50 of the sum. The Institute obliged the obligation of the remaining $3,262.50. Because of this generous act on the part of the graduates of the school, the tract of land is called "Alumni Field." It lies east of the Seaboard Air Line. Railroad. The purchase of it met a very pressing need for agricultural extension in connection with the school. "In 1918, an agreement between the Institute and the County of Chichester was entered into, providing that the Institute shall furnish in the Training School instruction for the colored children living in that section of the Matoaca district, formerly covered by the Brick Yard School, and that the county shall pay to the Institute annually four hundred and fifty dollars. In 1919, the Institute entered into a similar agreement with the city of Petersburg, providing that the Institute possess a force of workers—one imprisoner, four entire teachers, and eight practice teachers—and transportation of the force to and from the city five days a week and that the city of Petersburg shall pay to the Institute annually $5,000. "At a special session of the legislature that met October 10, 1919, the sum of $25,350 was appropriated to the Institute to be distributed as follows: sixteen thousand to build sanitary baths in the girls dormitory; five thousand and one hundred dollars to meet the balance of expenses incurred in reconstruction of the northern wing of the main building; and four thousand two hundred and fifty dollars to pay the balance of the cost of the water tank. A Significant Agreement Appropriations of Recent Years "In 1920, the legislature appropriated $74,835 to the Institute for the first year of the biennium and $15,700 for the second year. The law made that the Institute the Land Grant college for the Negro youth brings annually to the Institute from the Morrill-Nelson fund $26,996.02. The State Board of Vocational Education appropriated from the Smith-Hughes Fund to the Institute for various purposes in the years 1921-1922. Inclusive the total of $18,941.02 in the catalogue continues; the "legislature appropriated $54,215 to the Institute for the first year of the biennium and $95,265 for the second year; and in 1924, $4,500 for the first year, and $136,025 for the second year; and in 1926, $105,990 for the first year and $65,090 for the second year." The foregoing 'several paragraphs are check-full of figures, facts, and dates. A close, studious reading and interpretation of them will reveal very interestingly the historical history and the events of the previous century during the years from the Institute's foundation to the present.

Reasons behind its actions do not show themselves in, more statements, and interpretation fails to bring in this case more than conjecture. This last portion of this article will attempt to chronicle and interpret the Petersburg of today, something of the forces and personalities that gained for it its present honored niche in the educational realm, and something of the possibilities of the V. N. L. L of the future. From certain points of view there are two Virginia Normal and Industrial Institutes. The Institute before 1914 and the Institute since 1914. The one goes back to the year of its original founding. The other is one that under the progressive administration of the present now stands in the front rank of educational centers. Gandy's Institute inherits much of the earlier school, with the red brick buildings used with the suns and the years, the peace and beauty of its tree populated campus and vegetated fields, co-education, and the ideal of preparing not only teachers, but men and women who teach. Storum Was First Principal Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute's first principal, Mr James A. Storum of Washington, D. C., resigned because of misunderstandings before his second term was over. A very accomplished member of the faculty, Prof. J. M. Colson, then head of the Science Department, completed the second year's work begun by Prinipal Storum. "The next person to assume the responsibility as President of the school was John Mercer Langston of Louisa county, Virginia," writes Mia s Sylvia E Coleman in a Brief History of Virginia. V. W. was the son of a prosperous citizen of the county named. He had entered several fields of work but his ambition was to find some educational opening - in Virginia where he might employ his ability and knowledge in a substantial way for the good of the formerly oppressed and enslaved classes of the State." Obstacles Confronting Langston President Langston had had years of political experience and was an orator of real note. For years he was an instructor and official at Howard University. He was at one time U. S. Ambassador to Haiti. The Institute became better organized under President Langston. Student enrollmen multiplied, and in the meantime the teachers of the State were more and more gaining the adaption of the new formal President Langston was hindered by the unfinished condition of the main building . Other obstacles were needed to be overcome. Quoting from the Brief History of V. N. I. I—“After the Advent of the CAROLINA NEWS EDITORIAL PAGE PART TV O —Photo by Brown FOUNDED IN 1882, V. N. I. I. PROVES FOUNDERS' FAITH FOUNDED IN 1882, V. N. I. I. PROVES FOUNDERS' FAITH Dr. John M. Gandy, Present Head, Has Inspired Greatest Growth of Institute That Offers Inviting Opportunity to Colored Youth. Democrat party to power in the State the old Board of Visitors was replaced by a new one composed of another sort of colored men. These men, Mr. Langston thought to be illiberal. "Elected and commissioned, as he had been to the presidency of the college by a Republican administration of the state government just passing out of power, and brought at once under Democratic control, every friend of his and every supporter of the more advanced education of the colored youth was anxious to know how he, an avowed and earnest Republican, and the Institute itself, would be benefited by the incoming Democratic governor of the state during the Republican reign had been loyal to the support of the school. But how would a Southern man of the education, character, feeling and position of Governor Lee treat the work of Negro education in his State, especially so far as this school was concerned? Politics Obstruct His Efforts Governor Lee soon assured the people that nothing like politics would be tolerated in the Institute, although Mr. Langston himself said that the influences which operated to disturb his relation with the school would not anything but agreeable to himself were for the most nart political." In 1887 President Langston resigned. In his farewell address he said in part: "I may not meet you again in a company of students in this capacity. Very soon my relation to the Institute as its president must be brought to a close. Others will take you in charge, but though I go away from you, my interest in you and your welfare shall abide; and my prayers for your constant success shall ardent and continuous. My stay with you, though brief, has been in many respects so pleasant that I shall not soon forget it. Had it been useful, I would please better. I have, however, bored according to my ability and opportunity and I leave you thankking God if in any wise I have been serviceable in the least thing or matter to you. Committing you then to the keeping of the Infinite One who holds the destinies of us all according to His own benevolent purposes in His Almighty hands, I bid you, one and all, an affectionate farewell. . . ." Johnston, Third President, Elected The next president was James Hugo Johnson, who was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1858. He had been made in 1886 a member of the faculty of its students in recognition of his "fidelity to his race and calling." Soon after Petersburg was founded "came the reaction. The Negro was eliminated from politics, the colored members of the Board of Visitors disappeared, friends at court were few, the colored people were faithfully reminded that the white people paid ninety-two per cent of the taxes and they only eight per cent; the current of public opinion was running strong against the advanced educational progress of our racial group; the higher education of the colored boys and girls was not accepted; an asset to the State and a safe investment for the public funds; the fate of the school rested with them; the figure of a woman blindfolded with poised balance seemed no longer the symbol of justice; ominous mutterings gave presage of the Jim Crow car laws and residential segregation ordinance. Johnston's Work In This Situation It was into such a situation that President Johnston came with his powers to carry on the work of W. N. I. I. In an address given at the Institute in 1924 Dr. W. H. Hughes said: "For twenty-six years James Hugo Johnson administered the affairs of this school with evidences of satisfaction by the State authorities. These years were spent in laying broad and deep and Solid the foundation of friendship and good will for the magnificent superstructure that was to be the work of another hands.

The condition on August August was reported to be 72 per cent normal, compared with 71 per cent in July 16th and 75 per cent on August 1st last year. No forecast of production can be made at this time-owing to the condition of the crop. At the end of July the crop was beginning to rain. The cotton crop is two or three weeks later than usual, and according to growers this is the most important cause of the low condition of a considerable portion of the crop will be in danger of an early frost. Should weather conditions during the fall prove very favorable the crop will turn out better than is now expected. When generally the plants have made very good growth there is considerable complaint about the small number of blooms and bolls. According to correspondence on August 1st there were no snails, while last year an average of slightly more than two per plant were considered useful. The stand is not as good as usual, and this is another cause of low condition. Crops, however, have been well cultivated and will make rapid growth with favorable weather conditions.

The decrease in the secondary division for the three year period exceeded the increase in the collegiate division by 25. With the increase in enrollment in the collegiate division and with the growth in numbers and efficiency of accredited high schools and County Training Schools it is natural that there should be a constant decrease in the enrollment of the secondary division. In the training school the number dropped from 283 in 1923-1924 to 171 in 1925-1926, a decrease of 112 students. In the Federal Street School, there was an increase of 102 students in 1924-1925 over that number of 1023-1924, but a decrease of 73 students in 1925-1926 as compared with the number in 1924-1925. The shortage in the number at the Training-School is due to the improvement in the public schools of Chesterfield county. During the three year period the Summer School has more than doubled in numbers. In 1923-1924, registrations numbered 498; in 1924-1925, 670; and in 1925-1926, 1030. Last summer, 854 individual persons registered during the summer quarter—two more than the total enrollment of collegiate and secondary divisions during the schoolastic year. Now I. L.'s greatest growth in numbers has been in its summer quarter. It is a great convenience to teachers and all others who desire to make rapid progress in their education: Why V. N. I. I.'s Faculty Is Strong An official made this statement to the Journal and Guide reporter: "We have worked assiduously in building a strong faculty. Great care has been constantly exercised in the selection of teachers. Only those, so far as we could learn, have been recommended to the board for selection who had a back ground of a good family life, who had been broadly educated, and who were imbued with the spirit of service. These qualities are merely the foundation of what we wish the teachers to be. Further preparation and study on the part of all teachers have been encouraged. A Faculty Study Club has been conducted for the last fifteen years with great benefit and inspiration to the teachers. During the year conferences have been held with individual teachers with a view of suggesting better methods and ways of handling their problems. "For years the spirit of growth has been very prevalent among the teachers. Some of them, nearly every year, pursue correspondence courses from the leading universities of the country; many of them attend summer school in such universities as Columbia, Chicago, and Michigan. For the last five years, the number of teachers away on leaves-of-absence ranged from five to ten. These teachers study in the leading schools of the country. This winter seven were away on this mission, five of whom won graduate degrees in their special lines of work from Harvard, Columbia and Chicago universities. Twelve Years Ago And Today "We began twelve years ago with only three teachers holding degrees, out of a faculty of twenty. Today we have forty one teachers holding degrees out of a teaching force of sixty-one. Of this number fourteen have graduate degrees from standard universities. Of the twenty non-degree people on our faculty, eight were critic teachers in our training school and five were teachers of trades. The seven employed in our high school and college work were teachers of special subjects, like drawing and music. "Aside from a high percentage of teachers who were well prepared academically, we have been successful in collecting here instructors that possess a high spirit of service and cooperation. Our work is carried on by group work and seldom by solo work, and willing to give all the time necessary to accomplish a project. We do not know anything about set hours of work. Many of our teachers work all day at one project and part of the night at another. This attitude seasoned with the spirit of fellowship and good will makes a fine atmosphere in which to work."

Startling Growth Under Pres. Gandy Twelve yearstage John M. Gandy became President of Virginia Normal and Institute. In the twelve years since his pro- tection, the headship of the Institute its growth has been phenomenal. Not so much in material things, though this has been marked, as in the striving for perfection in quality of faculty and student body. "These," President Gandy will tell you, "are the essentials of a school or college; buildings and equipment are needed, certainly. But primarily there must be a faculty of high ideals, through schastic endeavor and progressive outlook. And along, with this, strong faculty there must be a select grade of students. After this comes the physical equipment whereby the faculty may impart knowledge and an inquiring attitude of mand." Students And Faculty Give $10,000 Cash And certainly this combination has succeeded in large measures. The graduates of the school are evidence of that. Any school would be proud to have such a loyal a Alumni as does V. N. I. I. In many ways at many times this has been materially demonstrated. Student and faculty loyalty at V. N. I. I is something that can scarcely be over-estimated. In the support of athletic, debating, and other intercollegiate, teams this is evidenced. A concrete example is the construction of the new gymnasium that when completed will be one of the finest. The first $10,000 for this gym was raised in cash by students and faculty. The boys dug the foundation, mixed and poured the concrete, thus saving hundreds of dollars. And plans are under way for the erection of an Alumni Building. And when the present Alumni is augmented by the students who got the money and built a gym, that they wanted you-may be sure that in a few years there will be an Alumni Building. And in all endeavors the wonderful faculty of V. N. I. I is staunch in its support. This is People's School One idea that the management wishes to get accross to the citizens of the State is that "V. N, I. I. as a State institution is the people's school." They pay taxes to help run 'it. While the institution is running at capacity at all times practically, two large and modern dormitories will be begun in the fall that will care for an increased enrollment with the coming years. Here are some interesting facts: The enrollment in the aggregate last year was the largest in the history of the Institute. There is a healthy growth in some of the departments and a slight falling off in some of the others. In the collegiate division there are 297 students in residence and sixteen in non-residence, making a total of 364 students. Enrollment increased from 173 in 1923-1924 to 192 in 1921-1925 and to 313 in 1925-1926. The increase of enrollment for 1921-1925 over that of 1923-1924 was 24.5 per cent, and that of 1925-1926 over 1924-1925 was 26.8 per cent. There is thus a normal and healthy growth in this division. In the secondary division, there has been a decrease during the three years. Last year there were 554 students enrolled. In 1921-1925, 630. In 1923-1924, 703. The decrease in the enrollment of 1921-1925 over that of 1923-1924 was in actual numbers -88 or 11.8 per Summer Enrollment Over 1.000 Fine Working Atmosphere ```markdown ``` A live Progressive Fraternal Organization, Founded, July, 1912, Richmond, Va.

The Institute's Primary Aim "The primary aim of the institute is to prepare teachers for the colored public schools of the State. This preparation includes proficiency in the academic and professional subjects. While the function of a normal school is essentially to give training in those subjects that relate to school room discipline and instruction, this Institute, because of a lack of a sufficient number of high schools for students, limits the academic and professional preparation. In the teaching profession, to lack, a adequate knowledge of subject-matter is worse than to be deficient in a knowledge of the laws governing a successful presentation of facts. Knowledge of the subjects to be taught and a skill in imparting that knowledge to others are the chief essentials in the making of a teacher. "The academic preparation covers the four years of the high school. The course embraces the English language and literature, mathematics and natural sciences, history, manual training, domestic science, music, physical education, and drawing. In classroom instruction, accuracy and neatness of expression, a grasp of thoughts involved in the assigned lessons, and a show of ability to think in terms of the information received, are insisted on throughout the high school course.

It might help some if the manufacturer would use a miniature figure of a coroner as a radiator 'cap ornament. Many good folk are lamenting the passing of the era when men and women consecrated their lives to unselfish service and prepared themselves to become ministers, missionaries, teachers or country doctors that they might administer to the spiritual mental and physical needs of humanity without thought of large worldly gain. They are not in error when they charge that modern men and women are choosing vocations today in which they can do the greatest service to themselves. People today are coming to the belief that the best way they can help others is to produce much, that their profit shall be large and that they shall never become dependent upon society. The old idea of service was direct. The new service is indirect. Twenty years ago it was still thought that only ministers, doctors and teachers served humanity. Today every workman who carries his whole day's wage home is known to have earned that wage in service to society. Elbert Hubbard's version of the Golden Rule was, "Do unto others as though you were the others," but an even more up-to-date version is "Do yourself much good and no bad to others." Getting something for yourself is reprehensible only when it is gotten at the expense of another. Advertising and Progress Advertising has proved itself to be the barometer of progress. It has not been long since business advertising was as severely criticized and ridiculed as boasting of personal qualifications. At the same time there was as little faith in the claims of advertisements as in the claims of the braggart. Only the quack and the imposter, who had everything to gain and nothing to lose, then resorted to advertising. Business is ever the standard bearer and apostle of progress, and so it was business which discovered that advertising was a vital factor in all growth. When advertising was admitted to the fireside of business it was not the big business of today. Big business traces its beginning with its employment of advertising. In its conversion to advertising business was soon followed by industry, commerce and the professions. The benefits of advertising, had made themselves manifest in each step forward. That was the evolution of advertising, until today advertising plays a part in every phase of life and is the working instrument of all except the doctor and the lawyer, who still consider it "unethical" to advertise for business. He may place his "card" in the weekly newspaper in patronage of the publisher, but it is professionally forbidden for the doctor or the lawyer to inform the public of his capabilities. Nothing in life has attained perfection and evolution as an eternal, ever-continuing advertisement. The evolution of advertising will not stop with its adoption by medicine and jurisprudence, but that adoption will establish another milestone of progress. The Way To Make An Enemy is To Lend A Friend Money It should not be that way but it very often is that the easiest and quickest way to make an eitemy of a friend is to lend him money when he thinks he needs and must have it in a hurry. Some people get a reputation for borrowing and not paying back and where they get it their credit is destroyed entirely. A person without credit is the most pititable creature in any community. Most people who become debtors delay payment in every way possible and have to be dunned time and again before they will pay. To lend money to the average person without sufficient security as to make it a matter of no concern whether he pays or not is usually a troublesome and tiresome nuisance. This is especially so of the small borrower who is almost-in the class with the real beggar who is not expected to pay back. As it is given with parsons so is it with nations: "What now the United States is going through a severe trial because of the vast sums of money it loaned the Allies of the World war. It is a great burden upon the debtor nations- but the disposition of anger and disgust which Great Britain and France have shown because of the settlements, we have secured with them, and the disposition on their part to expect if not to ask a cancellation of their obligations shows a very great lack of thankfulness for the help given in time of pressing need and a decided falling off in moral re- Editorial Page of sponsibility, a decline in the moral sense of obligation. National credit, like personal credit, must be above suspicion, or prove hurtful to the delinquent. The purchasing power of the dollar today is 40 per cent less than it was before the World War, making the cost of living 60 per cent higher. We have to redeem the bonds and pay the interest on them in heavy taxes on which we borrowed from the people to be able to lend to the Allies, and there is no reason why they should not pay us back what the face value of the obligation requires that we pay those from whom we borrowed in order to be able to loan to the Allies. That is plain enough. The best way, of course, is to keep out of debt. If you can't do that the safest way is to meet the obligation cheerfully, and if you are given sixty and more years in which to do it you should be thankful rather than resentful at the terms of payment. The Gambling Disease The gambling disease is one that has afflicted mankind as far as we have record of human affairs. The philosophy of it is to get something for nothing, by fair or foul means. The disease appears to be present in the make up of all races, but more so in some than in others. In the Far East gambling is not only a disease but a mania, and the Chinese appearing to be the worst of the gamblers and dope friends. The Japanese, Filipinos and East Indians trail after them. But the Europeans and Americans have reduced gambling to a science, and have carried the stakes from the small wager to the fabulous in stock dealings, commercial transactions and trade operations on a large and small scale. The gamble to get something for nothing, or as little as possible, has taken possession of the European and American mind in such a way as to corrupt it in most of the necessary relations to living. Those who have not the gambling disease are kept busy keeping those who have it from destroying all law and legal process. A large part of the Afro-American people are afflicted with the gambling disease. Mr. Lester A. Walton has just given us a story in the New York World, of the gambling craze as it exists in New York's Harlem, where there are living some 200,000 members of our group, as it relates to "playing the numbers", which is a new thing, and who are said to spend some $100,000 a day in bucking the game. American in all walks of life are said to play the game, and this is only one phase of gambling which prevails among them. The old ways of gambling have their followers and plenty of them. Of course there are more costly churches among us in Harlem than in any like community in the country, many of them are large and handsome and very costly, and it is not to be imagined that the membership of them indulge in the gambling game, although of course there are many who do. It seems to be a human weakness to gamble and he is fortunate indeed who has not got the disease in one form or another. And Christians should labor with the police authorities always to stamp out the gambling disease. Rule of the People Dying as a Sentiment It is a remarkable fact that the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars not only changed the map of Europe, and America as well, but that it brought in democratic rule by the will of the people, which embraced the whole of English and Latin America, as well, ringing the knell of rule by kings, nobility and priesthood. Reversely, it is equally a remarkable fact that the World War not only changed the map of Europe but killed the democratic principle born out of the agonies of the French Revolution, and that it has even modified the democratic sentiment of English and Latin America, especially in the United States, where there is a strong tendency towards the dictatorial principle of government which has swept over Europe, and which is giving thoughtful Americans much food for thought. Today, as results of the World War, Russia is ruled and devastated by a Dictatorship, as blighting on the happiness and prosperity of the Slav peoples as was the rule of the Czars, while Spain, Italy, Austria and Portugal have passed into the hands of Dictators, pure and simple, who make no bones about it that they do not believe in the rule of the people. There is a well defined tendency towards a like attitude of thought in conservative England and radical France. Dictator Mussolini of Italy has abolished democratic principles entirely in the government, and has adopted a few Communistic ones. He has gone so far in dictating the life of the people as to decree that building of private homes and villas is prohibited; new cafes, night clubs and hotels are forbidden, and newspapers may not contain more than six pages. We should not call that sort of government a Dictatorship but tyranny. How would you like to have that sort of thing in the United States? Impossible, you say. Perhaps, but we have phases of it in the Southern states and the principle is slipping into both Federal and State legislation that, contrary to the views of Thomas Jefferson that government is best which governs most. The full flower of this sentiment is Dictatorship, and it is not pleasant to feel that we are gradually moving in the direction of it in the United States, but we are. Organized political machines, organized wealth, and organized labor, are gradually breaking down the democratic guarantee and defenses of the Federal and State constitutions, the servants of the people gradually becoming their masters. THE GUIDE POST BY RICHARD H. BOWLING To Him That Hath We were changing trains at Henderson, N. C. Suddenly all eyes were turned to the doorway of the white waiting room. There was emerging from the crowds of white people a colored woman of most striking appearance. She was nearly six feet tall, of rich reddish brown complexion, with long thick braids of soft glossy hair, possessed of an apparently perfect physique, and her face radiant with a smile as if life held only good for her. She was heavily loaded with bag- doorway of the white waiting room. There was emerging from the crowds of white people a colored woman of most striking appearance. She was nearly six feet tall, of rich reddish brown complexion, with long thick braids of soft glossy hair, possessed of an apparently perfect physique, and her face radiant with a smile as if life held only good for her. She was heavily loaded with bagage and at the same time seemed to be charged with the duty of directing the steps of two small white children. No wonder people of both races followed her with admiring eyes. She was good to look upon. She was a living embodiment of health, happiness, and grace. But behind her trailed along the mother of the two children. She was white, if mere whiteness is any advantage, but that was about all to be said in her favor, as over against her servant. Her face was wan, her body small and frail, her hands apparently incapable of carrying anything heavier than her purse. The thought struck me, This able bodied Negro woman carries the heavy baggage, lifts the children, possibly washes, irons and cooks, and so grows even stronger. This frail white lady carries no burdens, does practically no physical work, and so remains as she is, anaemic, pitiful, weak. So is it all through.life. "Unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that' which he hath shall be taken away from him." Hard work and burden-bearing will not hurt the Negro. It will keep him prepared against that day when America shall be tried in the crucible of war, pestilence and famine. The ablebodid and healthy will survive and become rulers in the land. The weak will die out or will survive only to write learned treatises on to what depths the nation has sunk. The necessity for working, for wearing manded and patched clothes, for being absent from the big social events in college, will not prove handicaps to the poor student who is struggling to make it. Such hard necessities will write into the character of that young man the courage, the self reliance, the power to endure, which in the long run will make him a success in his particular calling. The very softness and ease enjoyed by the children of the idle rich, whether white or colored, unfit them for leadership and work in a world where spiritual qualities count far more than mere amassed capital or family prestige or social brilliance. The man who has a record of successful battle with temptation is far better fitted to resist inducements to evil in the future than the man who has tasted every forbidden fruit. Character is not built on trial and failure, but on resistance and sublimation of evil tendencies. He who wilfully indulges his passions with the idea of sating himself and so losing the desire for sin in the future when he "settles down" is sadly mistaken. It is the same in morals as in mind and muscle: To him that hath shall be given even more, while from him that hath not shall be taken that which he hath. Wytheville Is Quiet! From (Norfolk, Va.) Virginian-Pilot Wytheville, Aug.—(A. P.)—Wytheville, scene of the lynching of Raymond Bird, a 31 year-old Negro, who was killed in a cell of the Wythe county jail at an early hour Sunday morning, is quiet, and no excitement has been observed in the town. Why, indeed, should Wytheville be excited? If the cashier of the leading bank had abscended with the burghers' savings, if a leading citizen had been apprehended in flagrant dereliction with the town Jezebel, if the Mayor and Episcopal rector h a d stage a Main street stif fight, if the Methodist pastor had boldly in his pulpit defended the teaching of organic evolution—if any of these truly disturbing offenses against deceyed been committed in Wytheville on the morning of an August Sabbath, the citizenship, we take it, would have been stirred to their righteous depths. There would have been no end of talk, and the constabulary would not have been idle. But none of these dreadful things happened last Sunday. All that happened in Wytheville on the Lord's day was this: A band of fifty or more gentlemen, some dressed in women's clothes, some in other disguises and all of them masked, forced an entrance into the county jail where lay a prisoner of the law awaiting trial on the charge of criminal assault. Entering the cell of the prisoner who was awaiting the fair trial prescribed for him by the Constitution, the noble knights begar judicial operations by shooting him several times in the head and body. Having done this, they fell to beating the corpse about the head until, when they finished it was unrecognizable. Thereupon, tying the corpse by the neck to the rear axle of a motor car, they dragged the body on the ground nine miles to the vicinity of Rural Retreat, where they hung it on the limb of a tree. Having thus vindicated the law and set the State an example of justice as it is prescribed by Anglo-Saxon chivalry, they fired a parting volley into the swinging body and stepped on the gas. How is it possible for anybody to get excited over a prank like this? Is it any wonder that "Wytheville is quiet"? The nice thing about being a man is you don't have to stay home after you wash your head. BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE Cotton is one of the staples the world must have. It is difficult to imagine a substitute for it. It is a peculiar growth and will not flourish except under favoring conditions of climate and soil. For a long time our Southern states were the world's reliance for a supply of cotton, but the growth of the cotton in the Southern states was such that the supply, after the home consumption, became insufficient to meet the export demand. And the boll weevil came along and complicated matters for the growers of cotton in our Southern states so that diversified crops are taking the place slowly of the one staple production, and this should be good for the South, especially if it should convince Southern farmers that it is imperative that they grow their own home supplies, to which the cash crop, which often fails those who rely upon it, is a real enemy. It has even been claimed of late that bananas will grow in the South, the seed of that fruit having at last been ascertained by an Englishman, and there is talk of substituting bananas for cotton as a staple. The British have begun to experiment with cotton culture in Egypt and India and have had wonderful success, the effort being to place the British manufacturer above dependence upon the American market. The Egyptian experiment, it is said, is showing wonderful possibilities. Max Stern, writing in the Nation, says: "Ring Cotton, who counts his subjects, black and white, old and young, by the millions in the South, is broadening his domain to the far Southwest and chiefly to California." The fertile valleys appear to be peculiarly adapted to cotton culture. Last year California produced 77,000 bales, while this year it has produced 130,000, and it is expected that soon 400,000 acres, producing 370 pounds an acre as against the nationwide average of 165.5 pounds acre, will be under cultivation. The labor question has already become vexatious. Mexican expeons have been employed so far. It is said that the Negro migrants have so far avoided the California cotton works and are seeking other work in the large cities. The California Cotton Journal shows its animus in the statement that "California does not want to saddle itself with a Negro problem." Perhaps not, but perhaps it will anyhow. Chinese labor has been run out and there are now some 250-000 Mexicans scattered throughout the State as workers. But so far it has been found difficult to keep the Negro worker out. He has a happy knack of edging in and remaining in, and the immigration laws are helping him immensely to do so. Already there are agencies at work, among them the Mexican and American Federation of Labor, to limit this cheap Mexican supply of labor. After all, King Cotton may show vigorous offshoots in California, India, and the African Nile country, but we imagine it will be a long time before he is dethroned in our Southern states. He has ruled so long enthroned in them that it will not be easy to throw him down. From The Savannah Tribune Many years ago the only protest against lynching and other forms of lawlessness came from the Negro press and the very few white persons who had the courage of their conviction. In this respect there has been a great change. Today the white dailies and weeklies of the South join with the other law lovers in decrying lawlessness. This has been the cause of the depleting lynching record, especially that of the first six months which compelled the Atlanta Constitution to remark: "The record thus far in the South is a marvelous improvement over that of a few years ago when we usually had more lynchings in one state in six months than is now shown in the entire South and Southwest combined. It is a wonderful spirit—the spirit of law suprémacy as against barbarism and all that is contrary to civilization and good government. It should be a lynchless year in Georgia, and the last half should see a redeeming record in Florida. We cannot hope to develop and progress enduringly if we trample upon law, and give the mob the right of way. Fortunately the mob spirit, too, is passing." Newspapers in the United States daily devote to one cartoon over a million dollars worth of space, at current advertising rates. Saturday, August 21, 1926 AUGUST GOLD Educational And S By KELLY MILLER THE AUGUST GOLD RUSH BLUE R- BOARD! FOR CLAVE — LUND! PASS — TON! DRILL — TEE — MO! CHI — CAR- GO! AND OTHER POINTS Filling An Educational And Social Need By KELLY MILLER Commending the wonderful educational efforts of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs on behalf of young women and girls of the race, Dr. Kelly Miller declares that more such schools as the National Training School, of Washington, and a type of exclusive finishing colleges for young women are needed to round out the educational opportunities for American Negroes. tion of the colored population of over one hundred thousand souls. Howard University begins where the public schools leave off and completes the tree of knowledge from root to top flower. And yet there is ample room for forms of training and types of discipline which neither the one or the other is well calculated to do. Despite the wonderful expansion of public high schools and the growth of universities during the past three or four decades, still, we find in every city in the nation numerous private finishing schools for girls. These are usually for the more wealthy and cultured classes, who do not wish their elite women folks to come into close proximity with the common touch. There is doubtless need for a similar type school for an increasing number of our colored cultured folks. I have long felt that a high grade finishing school for girls, in the city of Washington, where the chief stress of emphasis should be laid upon the finer feminine charms rather than upon the hard curriculum requirements of a college course, would meet a long standing and deeply felt want. In traveling throughout the country, I find that many fortunate colored families have girls and money without knowing what to do with either. A high priced private school, such as prevails among the whites, which should inculcate winsome manners, and the finer feminine charms, would serve to complete the educational circle of the race. *** But I am moving far afield from Nannie Burroughs and her work. Her school is not intended for girls of fastitious pretensions in quest of social career. Nannie Burroughs is a matter of fact woman, and deals with matter of fact girls in a matter of fact way. She lays chief stress or emphasis on the old fashion' virtues of goodness and usefulness. The Bible, Bath and Broom is her motto. This sums up her purpose and method with epitomic completeness. Her appeal is to the average girl, who by her own character and effort must make her way thru an unfriendly world. This is not merely a paper motto, but is translated into actual experience by the daily regimen of her school. A visitor to the National Training School for Girls is livelily impressed with the cleanliness and neatness that prevail throughout the whole institution. The girls are neatly and becomingly dressed. There are no extravagant displays or extremes of contrast. The discipline is strict but final. Obedience is Miss Burroughs is sending out a race wide and nation wide ap- peal for help to restore the principal dormitory of the National Training School for Girls, recently destroyed by fire. A. E. H. But first a word about Nannie Bur- roughs—what a manner of woman is she? If one should attempt to form a list of colored women of energy and force whose dynamic personality brings things to pass, her name would force itself among the first and foremost. Our pioneer women are few. The fairer sex usually builds upon a foundation laid by men. We would naturally look for a double order of dependence in colored women—a dependence both of sex and race. But occasionally our women break loose from these traditional handicaps, and operate under their own steam. Lucy Lancy built up Haines Institute of Augusta, Georgia, which conspicuously holds its place as an outstanding fitting school for boys and girls, under the aegis of the Presbyterian Church. Miss Mary Bethune of Daytona, Florida, commands national attention for her mighty constructive work in the heart of the South. Madam Walker and Madam Malone have built up the most imposing and successful business institutions, operating on an individual basis, of which the race can boast. The National Training School for Women and Girls is, as much the outgrowth of the personality of Nannie H. Burroughs, as Tuskogee was the projected shadow of Booker T. Washington. Indeed she exhibited the greater audacity of the two. Dr. Washington planted his school in the heart of the South, where the pressure of need was manifest and acknowledged. I recall being in attendance on the Business League, in the city of Louisville, some decade and a half ago, when this dynamo of female audacity had the temerity to announce that she was going to establish a school for girls in the national capital. With my usual cautious temperament, I suggested that Washington was already supplied with every type of school known to the pedagogical vocabulary. Her reply came quick and certain, with almost Lutherese defiance, "even if the schools were as thick as the tiles on the houses, I am going to plant my school in the midst thereof, and that right early." And so she did. Fifteen years of operation prove that there is no more useful institution in the national capital and none which more generally commends itself or commands greater approval and esteem. The National Training School for Girls does not duplicate any phase of educational work in this great city. The government spends millions of dollars annually upon the educa- prompt and cheerful. One finds here as he seldom finds elsewhere a genuine moral and spiritual atmosphere. Response to the scriptural lessons is normal and natural. One sits and listens to the good old songs of Zion or the more lively evangelical ditties as they well from the hearts of the third removed from bondage with the same deep emotional fervor as moved their grand sires and dames in the darker days of slavery. Here the Bible is still the book of books. No, it is not true; Nannie Burroughs does not prepare girls for servants, but for service—service in their own homes, if they be so fortunate, service in other peoples' homes, if they must seek such employment, service in the broader arena of the world's work. There are no flappers in Nannie Burroughs' school; for this let us give thanks. You can never build the womanhood of a strong and sterling race upon the basis of the flapper. This flippant silliness spells death to the home. O for a return to the simple life and homely virtues of our mothers and grandmothers. Yes, I am old fashioned. I believe in the basic values and virtues of womanhood that have made the human race what it is today, as they were handed down through the generations. The flippant soul and flimsy dress of the past few years may indeed lead to a superior form of feminine life, but I am too far spent to experiment. The race is running a tremendous risk. Nannie Burroughs secures a discipline and a morale which our public schools cannot begin to imitate or rival. When we contemplate the type of young women who are pouring from our high, and normal schools each year, without basic moral instruction, we can only hope, for hope we must. They are intellectually instructed but spiritually illiterate. The evil is universally recognized for white youth, but for our young people who for a large part are without social setting or home reenforcement, the outlook is lamentable. The fault is not to be place upon the teachers of these schools, but is inherent in the system. How to impart moral and spiritual instruction along with intellectual knowledge as part of our regular scholastic program constitutes a question which is engaging the serious attention of our wisest educators. Can there be a moral pedagogy without a religious background? The answer is awaited with anxiety. Nannie Burroughs' work makes the widest appeal to the Negro race and indeed to the nation. She wishes to replace the building destroyed by fire and substitute a better one in its place. It requires-upwards of a hundred thousand dollars for the replacement. It is only necessary to call attention to the cause of education which this appeal presents. It is a high privilege for every one to contribute and have his name inscribed upon the roll of honor.
