CHARACTER FOR SERVICE Dr. J. W. E. Bowen Commencement Orator—35 Commissions to R. O. T. C. Students—Honorary Degrees Conferred. Washington, D. C., June 15.—That Howard University is continuing to fulfill in a large and important way the enviable place of leadership it has gained among educational institutions in America specializing in the training of colored youth is evidenced by the new record set by it this year when three hundred eleven (311) degrees were conferred upon graduates of the classes of 1923 by President J. Stanley Durkee at the Fifty-fourth Annual Commencement exercises held on the university campus Friday, June 8th. When the announcement went forth last year that 245 degrees were conferred upon graduates of the class of 1922 of Howard university in the liberal arts, science, religion, law, medicine, pharmacy, music, engineering and architecture, it was heralded as a great record in the history of colleges in the United States devoted to educational work among colored people. This year's class of 311 has broken the old record by sixty-six graduates. In addition to the degrees in regular courses, honorary degrees were conferred upon Charles Edward Russell, of Washington, D. C.; James Weldon Johnson, New York City; James Upshur King, Washington, D. C.; Mordecai W. Johnson, Charleston, W. Va., and Daniel Smith Lamb, Washington, D. C. Inspiring Commencement Exercises The ceremonies in connection with the commencement exercises began with the academic procession which started from the steps of the Howard University Carnegie Library at three o'clock Friday afternoon led by the R. O. T. C. band. The procession was headed by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer; Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., the commencement orator; the candidates for honorary degrees, and included trustees, deans, professors, members of the vruious academic and professional faculties, graduates and alumni. An audience of nearly five thousand visitors, friends and relatives of the various graduates assembled to witness the exercises. The brilliant colors of the academic costumes flashing in the sun presented an inspiring ceremonial picture. Dr. Bowen Delivers Message to Graduating Class Dr. Bowen, the commencement orator, in his address to the graduating class upon the subject "Life's Challenge to Men and Women of Brain and Character" said in part: "Young men and young women: I would prove derelict to duty and a traitor to my conscience and be unworthy of your confidence, were I to close this address without directing a personal word to you taken from the book of experience. With the same directness of speech that was used by an ancient seer to a mighty king, but not for the same purpose or as suggested by or springing from a similar occasion in the remotest sense, but for the purpose of emphasis and to stimulate your thought, stir your conscience and move your wills to action, I lift my voice and say to you, in brotherly kindness, but with no less emphasis and prophetic solemnity 'Thou art the man' and Thou art the woman. "It has been impressed upon you, from time to time with biblical repetition, that mind is the measure of man, and as said the Scotch philosopher, mind is the only great thing in this world. I would not, if I could, I dare not if I would, fail to uncover my head and unsandal my foot and worship in silence and in reverence before this ancient shrine of thuth. "In your zeal for knowledge, book-knowledge, if you please, it would be surprising if you failed to note fully the other requirements which your teachers sought to set before you by the more real and silent method of personal example, namely, a beautiful, consecrated christian character for service. . . ." THE MONITOR MICHIGAN ATHLETE SCORES BIG VICTORY Ann Arbor, Mich., June 15.—Coming within one and one-half inches of the world's broad pump record held by Ned Gourdin, of Harvard, De Hart Hubbard, Michigan's star black athlete, jumped twenty-five-feet one and one-half inches. Hubbard won his event in the Western Conference Track and Field Championship Meet with ease. His victory helped Michigan to win out over Illinois by one-half point for the team title. Hubbard was also in the lead in the last hurdle and would have won the 120 high hurdle race but stumbled and came in fourth. Immediately he protested to the officials that the whole set of hurdles over which he ran ad been misplaced intentionally or otherwise, and that he had been thrown after his stride and made to stumble. Charles A. Dean, referee, on finding that the hurdles had been misplaced, ordered the event to be run over again. Although the contestants admitted that Hubbard would have won the event of the misplaced hurdles, they refused to run and Coach Guild of Illinois, said he would take his men off the field rather than submit to the ruling. As a compromise, the event was eliminated from the program altogether. WHITE HEAD TEMPORARY Washington, D. C., June 15—Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, has issued a statement declaring that the present white head of Tuskegee Hospital is only temporarily appointed and that a colored man will fill his place as soon as he can be found. NATIONAL BAPTIST HEAD TO ADDRESS WORLD CONGRESS Doctor Williams, President of the National Baptist Convention, to Be Speaker at Stockholm, Sweden. ELEVEN AMERICANS TO TALK Two of the Number Chosen Are Colored—Dr. Wilson of Texas the Other Speaker of Race. Chicago, June 15—Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the U. S. National Baptist Convention and pastor of Olivet Baptist church in Chicago, with over 10,000 members, will be one of the eleven prominent American ministers on the program of the World Congress of Baptists in Sweden, July 21-27. The only other colored speaker is a southerner from Texas, Dr. E. A. Wilson, of Dallas, whose topic is, "The Future of Negro Baptists." The last meeting was held in Philadelphia in 1912. The meeting scheduled for 1916 in Berlin was postponed on account of the war, and this meeting will be the first for ten years. Several thousand official delegates are expected from the United States, Canada, South America, Central Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, the Philippine Islands, China, Burma and India, as well as from Great Britain, Sweden, Norway and the countries of continental Europe. Several other topics of major importance besides the "colored people's religion", such as the question of international peace, in which the League of Nations will doubtless figure, are to receive the attention of the delegates. THE WIDE-AWAKE The Wide-Awake Twenty-four club will meet with Mrs. Belle Taylor, 2859 Miami street, Friday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. The May fete given under the management of Miss Hazel Roulette for the benefit of the Wide-Awake Twenty-four club was a decided success in every way. We are very proud of this young member and very grateful to her also for this splendid affair. SILLY SOUTHERN STUNT Philadelphia, Pa., June 15—Because a Southern girl is editor-in-chief of the annual class book, three colored girl students' pictures and records were not placed with those of other members of the class, but were put on the last page of the book. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1923 High Schools Graduate Large Number of Students Colored Graduates Show Substantial Increase Over Former Years--- Make Good Records----Active in School Affairs From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back Experiences and Observations of the Editor on Trip to Southland Where He Saw Many Things of Interest At the commencement exercises of the Omaha High schools to be held at the City Auditorium tonight over four hundred students from Central, Tech- Dorothy Martin nical, South and Benson will be given their diplomas.

The graduates from Cen- 75 Charles Louvere Ennis tral are Lucile Bivens, Charles Louwerne, Ennis, Ledru Cooper Galloway, Henry Daniel Gordon, Ida May Jackson and Worthington Llewellyn Williams; HOT SPRINGS, A NORTHERN CITY IN THE SOUTH Psychological influences are subtle, far-reaching and unexplainable. Places have an atmosphere, impalpable, indefinable, but felt. One becomes conscious of this atmosphere. Altho not able to explain it, but it is there and he feels it. As soon as the train pulled into Hot Springs, I felt that I was in an entirely different atmosphere to that of any I had experienced since I crossed "over the Kansas line". Perhaps it was wholly subjective, mayhap largely imaginary, but nevertheless I felt a certain restraint and a rather uncomfortable oppressiveness as soon as I entered Oklahoma. This feeling remained with me, despite the hospitality and kindness of the dear friends who made my sojourn with them a joy and delight, during my visit in Arkansas. The only place where this oppressive atmosphere seemed to be absent was in Hot Springs. As I have said, perhaps it was purely imaginary on my part. But I do not think so. The people around the depot seemed to be different. While the South's dual system was in evidence, yet the lines did not seem to be to tautly drawn. The whole air was different and I felt that I was breathing the atmosphere of a northern city. There seemed to be a cordial entente between the people and a wholesome spirit of commaraderie not found elsewhere in section. That this psychological effect was grounded in fact was subsequently proven, for I was told, and things which I saw verified this—that "Hot Springs is the most-liberal and fairest-minded city in the whole South!" The reason for this is that it is a deservedly popular health resort, largely built up and supported by eastern and northern capital and frequented by people from all parts of the world. Many northern people reside here and because of the cosmopolitan character of the place fortunately they have not become Southernized—for "a southernized northerner" as and from Tech, James Calvin Jewel and Dorothy Martin. Floyd Maxey graduated from Central in January, making the total number of Central graduates this year seven. Worthington L.

From it The Monitor you know is the most deadly of the species on the race question. Then, too, as one would naturally expect, the colored residents of Hot Springs are of a high type and progressive class. It is a fact that cannot be gainsaid that wherever you find a high-minded, progressive class of white people there you find a corresponding class of colored people, and vice versa. Another very important factor that makes for pleasant interracial relations in Hot Springs is the fact that the United States government is largely interested here; for, as you doubt- SCHOOL PUBLICATION PRAISES UNL. GRADUATE Dorothy E. Williams graduated last week from the Primary-Kindergarten course of the University of Omaha, Dorothy E. Williams where she ranked high in scholarship. She expects to continue her studies at the University and take her Arts de- gree next June. The Gateway, the school publication for 1923, says of Miss Williams: "She is a diligent student and a capable teacher, whose pleasant smile and cheery disposition quickly wins the hearts of her tiny pupils." quotes what it has to say about the students whose cuts it gives us pleasures to present to our readers. Miss Lucile Bivens is the daughter Ida May Jackson of Mrs. Hopkins, a widow, and a sister of Mrs. George A. Love. During her school course Mis Bivens has helped support herself by working in a private James Calvin Jewell family after school hours. Despite this fact she has stood well in all her Henry David Gordon classes, being exceptionally strong in mathematics. The catalabic legend which the editor of the O Book has inserted opposite her cut, refers to this. less know, the healing waters of the thermal springs, which give the city its name, are owned and controlled by the Federal government, under the direct care of the Secretary of the Interior. It was as early as 1832, nearly a century ago, that Congress set apart four sections of land, in the very center of which are these hot springs 44 in number, as a government reservation. Subsequently the government expended large sums of money in improving and developing the reservation. The Army and Navy Hospital on the Hot Springs Mountain is a mammoth institution. The government bath houses lining Central avenue are artistic architectural gems adding to the natural beauty of the place. All of these are factors, more or less important, entering into and contributing towards making Hot Springs different from other cities and towns in Arkansas, and, for that matter, as I was told from any place in the South. It is certainly a beautiful place, clambering up the eastern slope of the Ozarks Mountains, and emerald set with spruce and pine and cypress and oak and various hardwood trees, embellishing with becoming garniture the massive public buildings, stately fanes of worship, attractive homes, lofty and spacious hotels, massive bath houses and hospitals and modern business blocks which make up this city of something over 20,000 permanent inhabitants and an annual tourist population of ten times this number. The subtle consciousness of a different atmosphere which I felt as I stepped off the train at Hot Springs that Saturday afternoon in February and was met by the Rev. Gilbert Bernard Whitlock, the fine young priest in charge of St. Mary's church, was not simply subjective but founded upon the fact that I had unknowingly come to a town very largely northern in spirit and sentiment. Such is Hot Springs, a northern city in the South. (Next Article: SOME PLEASANT SURPRIES IN HOT SpringS.) Here is what it says: "To Lucile there's no mystery In cabalistic names or numbers Like 1066 which lesser minds encum- bers." Charles L. Ennis has been prominent in athletics and music, having done stellar work in football and track work, as well as being a member of the band and orchestra. The O Book says of Charles, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow ye die'. Charles' philosophy of life never lets him worry much." He expects to go to college. Ledrue Cooper Galloway, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Galloway, has been Central's outstanding athlete. His school activities are scheduled in the O Book as follows: Road Show (1), Football Reserves (1); Football team (2, 3, 4, H-Y (2), Class Basket Ball Champions (3), Basketball (4), Track (3, 4), All-State Tackle (3), All-State Half-Back (4), Rufnex (4), O Club (3). (The bracketed numerals indicate the year, (1) means first year). Here is what the same school publication says of him: "Lee has the Midas touch in athletics. One of the cleanest fellows who ever hit the line. His ability in hitting is not confined to the back field either—ask anybody in the 'Red Owl' club." Ledrue expects to study medicine. Henry Daniel Gordon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Gordon, is paid this fine compliment: "Henry is very talented. He has ability to draw and ability to keep quiet. If only there were more like him." Henry expects to enter Boston School of Technology for a course in engineering. He is deeply interested in Boy Scout work. Ida May Jackson, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

Anthony Aery Hampton, Va., June 15—Principal J. E. Gregg, who presided at the Hampton Institute commencement exercises, which were held in Ogden Hall in the presence of a large number of local and visiting citizens of both races, presented four candidates for the degree of "Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education," which will be awarded on September 1: Harrison D. Jacobs, Pittsfield, Mass.; Thomas E. Johnson, Jr., Port Gibson, Miss.; D. Coaken Jones, Savannah, Ga.; and Burke M. Mathias, Boley, Okla. Doctor Gregg presented a diploma to Ellen R. Nicholas, New Haven, Conn., graduate of the Normal School course, and a diploma to Estelle M. Jones, Danville, KY., graduate of the Home Economics School advanced course. He also presented secondary school diplomas to 60 boys and 28 girls—members of the Academy, Agricultural School, Business School, Home Economics School and Trade School. Four more Hampton Institute men of the 1923 class will soon receive diplomas on the completion of certain work which is at present unfinished. Doctor Gregg presented to the ranking scholar, Phyllis V. Calhoun, of Greenville, S. C., who had taken the four year course in Home Economics, a twenty-five dollar prize, which is awarded annually by the St. Phillip's Sunday school of New York.

Over night the black metropolis of America has become a seething bee-hive of humanity and if the oncoming hordes continue within a few weeks Boley will have doubled its population. The cause of the excitement develops out of the spouting of the big oil well brought in on a quarter section owned by Rev. Robert Kirksey, located about four miles northwest of this city a short time or Big Gusher The new well is a big gusher, showing much more promise than the recent well brought in at Castle on McKern's quarter. Another well is being driven through the sand on the Sam Callahan farm just one mile north of Boley and the indications are that another big gusher will add to the already excited town in a few days. Thousands of Acres Thousands of acres of land in this section and Okfuskee are in the hands and control of the black folk. From Sand Creek back to Rusk, all of the land is owned by the Negroes and it is said that this new field will develop more millionaires than any other section has developed among our group. The new strike is said to be an extension of the field located two years ago at Clearview. Black Millionaires Oklahoma has smiled kindly upon many black folk who own her soil. In the past she has belched forth millions in liquid gold into the hands of hundreds of black men and women. This is particularly true in eastern Oklahoma. Luther Manuel, Sarah Rector, Queen Victoria Jackson and an unending stream of others have lived to see the barren hills and rocky crags transformed overnight into "Castles in Spain." Boley's citizens are dreaming just such dreams tonight, as many of Oklahoma's black folk have lived to realize.

MIDDLEBURG COUNTY MIDDLEBURG COUNTY GRADUATES THE Monitor extends sincere and hearty congratulations to parents upon the graduation of their children from various schools and colleges. We commend them for the sacrifices they have made, in so many cases, to give their children the advantages which they themselves were denied. We congratulate the pupils upon their success thus far and sincerely hope that they will make good use of the knowledge they have acquired and show themselves worthy of the sacrifices their parents have made for them. This will be the only reward the parents will ask that their children will live useful and worthy lives commensurate with their opportunities. The chief aim of education is training for service. The better trained one's mind is the more efficient he or she should be. Education is simply means to an end. There is a true education and a false education. True education issues in useful service in that state of life unto which it shall please God to call us. It fits us for work, all honorable work, in this work a day world. False education is that which books upon knowledge as an emancipation from work of laborious character. Some have this idea. If any who read this have such a false idea we hope this will help them see their mistake and correct it. Omaha has a number of our youth graduating from the high schools this year. Not as many as we should have but the number shows a steady advance. There are eight of such graduates and they present an unusual phenomenon, the boys exceed the girls in number. Conditions are thus reversed. There are six boys and two girls. An unusual showing. Most of these students are looking forward to going to college. Another excellent thing to be commended and encouraged. These students have ranked well in scholarship, athletics and school activities, showing the stimulus and advantage of co-racial education.

MAKING PLACES FOR OUR YOUTH OUR youth are being encouraged, and rightly so, to prepare themselves for useful careers by getting the best education possible. Many of them are being urged to secure what is popularly known as technical training or education which means professional training in the agricultural and mechanical arts and sciences as well as in trade and commerce. Despite the handicap to which many of our youth are subjected by a prejudice in the United States which we cannot ignore, the fact remains that there is opportunity for the man or woman of brains or ability who can deliver the goods. The law of the survival of the fittest is unerring and will eventually override color and caste prejudice in the United States. But in the meanwhile we have a duty that is as plain as the noon day sun. We as a race must pool our interests and embark in business and industrial enterprises which will create places of employment for our youth. Those who have ability will find employment among the dominant race here and there, but the great majority of them must look to their own group for employment. This is a challenge which we as a race must meet if we would survive. The law of the survival of the fittest is impersonal and applies to us as it does to other groups. Let us demonstrate our fitness by at least helping to make places for our youth. Two years of Mr. Harding's administration have gone into history. How fares the case with the Negro? The Birmingham speech was a sociological rather than a political announcement The President's first and only venture in the field of sociology has been wholly barren of practical ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb results. He laid down a premise, which no Negro approves, and deduced a conclusion which no Southern white man accepts. My open letter to the president on this memorial address expresses the feeling and opinion of every Negro in America who is not in office, or in the insane asylum. The President would doubtless have signed the Dyer bill had it passed both houses of Congress. But he did nothing to further its passage and gave the measure only his lukewarm approval and tepid support. In the reappointment of Judge Terrell he followed the good precedent of President Wilson. In choking the liberty out of Hayti he follows the evil precedent of his illustrious predecessor. The appointment of Cohen possessed every semblance of political courage. Mr. Harding not only flew in the face of the vociferously asserted and stoutly maintained attitude of the South, but reversed the policy of his own party as declared by President Taft. Indeed, Mr. Harding reversed his own declared policy. But the appointment met with defeat, and great was the defeat thereof. If this means that no Negro can be appointed and confirmed for office in the South, then the abortive attempt does the race more harm than good. An unsuccessful attempt serves to discourage, if not to stop, future effort in the same direction. We must credit the administration with the effort while regretting the effect. We are reminded that Mr. Wilson named a colored man for Register of the Treasury, but, who, through senatorial vicissitudes, failed to reach the promised land. The designation of several distinguished colored men for high positions with racial function is commendable. The recent appointment of Charles W. Anderson in New York somewhat relieves the hurt felt over the defeat of Cohen. While no colored man will throw his hat over the moon when Mr Harding's renomination is proclaimed, yet I venture the prediction that the vast majority of Negro voters will still remain on board the old republican ship, for the simple reason that the rival democratic ship makes no provision for passengers of color. —Kelly Miller. School Vacation Can Be a Pleasure For the Whole Family The end of school means idle days for boys and girls. The daily routine is broken. What will take its place. Happy is the mother whose girl says she will take over the housework. Mother deserves a rest, too. Happy the home that this girl will be mistress of some day. The boy should also work at home if not somewhere else. The house needs painting, the fence needs repairs, the furnace ought to have been cleaned, and mother is more than a servant, and should be relieved of many heavy tasks. Vacation from school really brings out the boy and girl making good qualities and bad ones so plain that he who runs may read. If parental indulgence has killed off the worthwhile habits of the children, or if they are just poor stock anyway, idle hours will be for the worse. If duty has a place in their lives, and love of father and mother actuates them, then vacation is a pleasant time for all—Kansas City (Mo.) Call.

THE MONITOR QUEEN QUEENSLAND THE WORKING STATION Shearing Sheep in West Queensland. (Prepared by the Geographic Society, Washington, D.C. That there is a constant evolution in government is pointed out many times, with our 48 states and their peaceful experiments as illustrations. But even more radical changes are taking place, equally peacefully, in other parts of the world. Queensland, Australia, has made the most marked change of recent years in governmental machinery in the English speaking world by abolishing its senate and making its legislative body into a one-chambered parliament. This commonwealth, which has altered so strikingly the traditional British idea of a parliament, is one of the six sovereign states of Australia, which, like the units of the United States, are bound into a federation yet are free to shape their own affairs with relatively slight limitations. Queensland—and Australia, too, for that matter, loses in apparent size because of its great distance from us. In reality it is a huge state, completely dwarfing Texas, our largest commonwealth. Its coast-line is more than 2,200 miles long and is equivalent to that of the eastern United States from northern Massachusetts—down the Atlantic, around Florida and to Mobile. It has an area of 670,000 square miles. Since Queenland is located in the southern hemisphere, its hot regions are to the north, its cooler regions to the south. Its northernmost projection, Cape York Peninsula, may, then, be compared roughly to Florida, though Cape York is much closer to the equator. To be as close to the equator as Queensland, Florida would have to be moved some 1,200 miles farther south until Key West touched the Isthmus of Panama. If Australia could be towed to our part of the world, where we could compare it with the regions we know, it would have to be turned about so that the warm regions would correspond. If it can be imagined that this were done and Cape York placed near the Canal Zone, so extensive is the state of Queensland that it would cover most of the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. Best Developed in the South. Best Developed in the South. Naturally, colonization in Queensland began along its southern coast, its midst region climatically. Thanks to its mountains which parallel the coast, the climate of the state is not as hot as its latitude would indicate. The far northern section, however, is truly tropical and it has not been developed to any great extent. In the southern and middle sections are thriving ports and cities. Brisbane, the capital, is about the size of Bridgeport, Conn., or Houston, Tex. The State's population of about three-quarter's of a million—approximately that of Oregon—is almost wholly of British origin. The development of the tropical portions of Queensland has been slower than that of similar regions in other parts of the world because of the determination of the citizens of the state and of the entire commonwealth to maintain a "white Australia." The black and yellow races have been excluded in recent years. Not more than 20,000 of the black aborigines remain in the state, and they are steadily decreasing in numbers. To help the development toward a "white Australia" the federal government grants a bounty on sugar cane raised by white labor, and a sufficient sugar industry has been built up in the fertile coast valleys of Queensland to supply Australia's needs. Australia's handling of Queensland's sugar crop indicates that the federal government, as well as Queensland, is capable of striking out into new fields governmentally. All the sugar is taken over by the Australian government, and a virtual government monopoly created. Contracts are made for the refining, and both wholesale and retail prices are controlled. Cotton Growing Died Out. Some day Queensland may develop into a cotton producing region, for both climate and soil are favorable.

During the American Civil war, when cotton was scarce in the world markets and the price high, Queensland found it profitable to grow the textile. After the price fell it was even possible to keep the industry alive so long as Kanaka labor from the South Sea islands was to be had. But when these black laborers were deported cotton growing, never really important, practically died out. There has been a certain parallelism in the development of Australia and North America. A mountain range, situated roughly like the Appalachians, extends parallel with the eastern coast from 50 to 150 miles inland. In this favored strip the first settlements were made, and for many years nothing was known about the region to the west. Over behind its mountains Queensland has a great plains region like that of the United States. It is in that portion of Queensland that Australia's great cattle industry centers. The huge ranches—called "stations"—cover thousands of acres like those in the American Southwest, and of the 14,000,000 cattle on the continent about half are in Queensland. Cattle raising is the really dominant industry of Queensland and has had its effect on the economic side of the governmental machinery. There are state-operated cattle ranches, state abattoirs and even retail meat shops run by the state. The state goes still farther into the matter of food distribution by operating fisheries and conducting retail fish stores. State Owns Most of the Land. The pioneer age is not past in Queensland, despite its well developed southern coast region. Over the mountains to the west and northwest in the tropical country pioneers are still carving out a new country and bringing it under fence or plow. The state still owns staggering areas of land. Only about 6 per cent of the state's total area has been alienated or is in process of alienation. And Queensland means to hold on to the greater part of this public domain forever. The policy has been adopted in recent years of merely leasing the soil. The only exception is in the case of the "prickly pear" regions, where small tracts are given outright to settlers in return of the eradication of this stubborn cactus pest. Bristisland, the capital of Queensland, a town nearly as large as Atlanta, Ga., is on the coast near the southern line of the state, and so is in a region of relatively mild climate. Its latitude compares closely with that of Tampa, Fla. Semi-tropical flowers and fruits make possible charming settings. But Bristisland cannot claim beauty. Though this is country in which white ants are numerous and destructive, wood seems to be the favorite building material. And many of the smaller buildings are roofed with unsightly corrugated iron. The river which runs through the city is lined with packing plants and factories. How far Queensland has swung its governmental pendulum is shown by the fact that it was one of the two states of the Australian commonwealth in which the senate or upper house had members elected for life by the British crown. There was thus in existence a sort of colonial "House of Lords." The members of the single chamber which is left in Queensland are elected and the state, without a "conservative balance-wheel," becomes the most democratic of the commonwealth's units. Arithmetic Made Easy. Willie is in the fourth grade. His father tries to find out by adroit questioning just what Willie's going to school means to the boy. He found out that Willie likes his teachers, his classmates, most of them, and his lessons. But recently the parent probed deeper. Did Willie like spelling? Sure. "Do you find arithmetic lessons easy, too?" he finally queried. "Yes," was Willie's casual reponder; "rithmetic's easy, awful—all but the answers."

New Orleans.—The fifth oldest known living thing on earth, and the third oldest in North America, is a giant cypress tree in what is known as the Edenborn Brake, in Winn parish, this state, according to Carleton F. Poole, of the Louisiana state conservation department. The age of the tree has been placed at 2,500 pears by Prof. Herman Schrenk, of St. Louis, and other scientists who have examined it. According to records, it is exceeded in longevity only by the Santa Maria del Tule cypress, near Oaxaca, Mexico, 5,000 to 6,000 years old, the Dragon tree at Orotava, Island of Tenerife, 4,000 years old, the Sequoia trees, California, 4,000 years old, and the Baobab tree, Senegal, 4,000 years old. The Edenborn cypress was building into life when Jerusalem was taken by Nebuchadnezzar. It was a lusty young sprout when the battles of Marathon and Thermopylae were fought, when Assyria was at the apex of the world domination and when Rome was a village of mud roads and hovels. The tree was 600 years old when Christ was born in Bethlehem, a veteran when the Roman legions were withdrawn from Britain to leave the savage tribes of those islands to fight out their differences, and was more than 2,000 years old when Columbus sailed into the Atlantic to begin his voyage of discovery.

The tree was one of a number of its kind in a tract of pine timber purchased by William Edenborn some years ago, and when logging began he refused to permit it and three others almost as large to be felled, although the giant contains approximately 23,000 feet of lumber. It is peculiarly situated for one of its species, for while the cypress usually grows in swamps the Edenborn specimen stands in a hollow between hills. One of the three cypresses left standing with it was felled by a storm some months ago. Mr. Edenborn has offered the aged giant and its two companions to the conservation department to do with as it sees fit, so long as none is injured. The department plans construction of a highway to them so that the spot may be visited more easily by tourists and home folk. London.—Domestic felicity is steadily gaining strength in England and Wales, if recently published statistics regarding divorce may be taken as a criterion. During 1921 the number of divorces in these countries declined by 33 per cent. In the previous year matrimonial suits showed an increase of 355 per cent over the pre-war totals. In recent years additional legal facilities have been accorded to poor persons seeking divorce in England, and this has brought a large increase in the number of cases. During the last nine years 24,209 matrimonial suits were filed. Of the 3,464 suits entered in 1921, 1,702 petitions were filed by husbands and 1,759 by wives. In 95 per cent of the cases the petitioners were successful. Of the parties concerned in the total number of suits for the year under survey 3,282 were bachelors and 3,331 were spinsters at the date of the marriage, but by far the greater proportion were married at ages between 21 and 30. The proportion of childless marriages was high, reaching a total of nearly 2,000. Professional men head the list in the number of divorces, with 1,148 cases, while the clergy is at the bottom of the table, with only six. Army officers, soldiers and sailors figured in 341 cases, actors in 105, physicians in 79, schoolmasters in 18 and journalists in 15.

His school activities are indicated as follows: First Lieutenant and Adjutant (4); Football Reserves (4), H-Y (3), Inter-Class Debate (1), W. D. S. (Webster Debating Society) (1), Orchestra (1). The O Book says of him, "He believes whole-heartedly that whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. His record as a cadet and a student is the result of this creed." Worthington expects to enter the University of Nebraska and will specialize in chemistry. James Calvin Jewell, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James G. Jewell. He made an excellent record at Tech. James will enter the University of Omaha and will specialize in business administration, his desire being to follow a business career. The Tech Quarterly gives his activities and characteristics as follows: "Junior orchestra, Senibr band, Banquet committee. A musician of note, a true and steadfast friend, James is a jewel in Tech's crown of seniors." Dorothy Martin, entered Tech from North High, Des Moines, Ia. She has shown herself a good student. The Quarterly says of her: "Dorothy was another late comer, but is one that we will not readily forget." The Monitor extends sincere congratulations to these young people and sincerely hopes that the numbers emulating their examples will rapidly increase from year to year. (Continued from page one) their courage or cowardice, was the opinion expressed by Dr. James Weldon Johnson of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who delivered the principal address. Doctor Johnson referred to the physical strength and stamina of the Negro race and its contributions to history, both in Africa and in America. "The record of the Negro in this country," he said, "constitutes one of the most wonderful pages in American history. Brought here against his will he has, in spite of obstacles, never turned his back to the light or consciously sought the downward path. He has always continued to struggle forward and upward. He has in language, custom, mode of thought, and religion, become thoroughly American. Not only has the American Negro saved America, but he has made his contribution to her civilization, especially in art. "I am glad that Hampton has made a home for Negro music; that here it has been taught; that from here it has been spread; and that here a respect and love for it have always been nurtured. It is here that your own Nathaniel Dett is developing it in a manner which commands the attention of the musicians of the world. Negro music is the touchstone, the magic thing, by which the Negro is able to bridge all chasms." Doctor Johnson expressed the thought that the potentialities of the Negro race should be carefully studied so that the race may secure its status of full and unlimited American citizenship. For the Negro group the so-called Negro problem, which is in reality an American problem, is a compound one, in which, according to Doctor Johnson, "the Negro must fit himself to the very best of his ability for all of the rights and privileges of American citizenship and then must find a way to compel a recognition of those rights and privileges when he has so fitted himself.
