A NORMAL S NOTABLE Interesting Story o of Mrs. Mary M Founder and Pr School For Fema pable Instructors BEGAN IN ABA Daytona. Fla.-Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, principal and founder of the Daytona Normal and Industrial School For Girls, in this city, is one of the most notable characters of the race and a woman of unusual gifts for leadership. Her whole life has been one actuated by service to her race and fellowwomen. She tells a thrilling story of her efforts to build up her school and how she went to the black belt of Florida with $1.50 in her pocket and started a school where will come near making the name Bethune immortal. Her story is one of the brave heroine at work and one that would have meant defeat to a person having less courage and pluck. Mrs. Bethune was born in Mayesville, S. C. She was educated in the public schools of her native city and later attended Scotia seminary, an institution for the higher education of colored girls in Raleigh, N. C. She graduated from Scotia in 1894. In further preparation for her life's work as teacher and missionary she took a course in Bible study and religious work at the Moody school in Chicago. Mrs. Bethune began her career as teacher in Kendall institute in Sumter, S. C. later going to Palatka, Fl. where she taught in the Presbyterian mission school for five years. It was while teaching at Palatka that Mrs. Bethune got the inspiration for the MANY RETURN FROM PICNIC IN BANDAGES It Was the Annual Outing of the "True Reformers" at Wheelig Park Last Monday. Two trainheads of Pittsburghers, 700 in all, gave the police of Wheliar W. Naa, the busiest day they have experienced in years. A dozen of the visitors are in the jail and lookup and many returned home on the street excursion trains in bandages and spines. It was the annual outing of the "True Reformers." They came down in the coaches. Troubles started on the way to Wheliar and Kipi Jelly was badly injured. When the train stopped at the port, Jelly grabbed a bag and ended up in the train. When he finished a door began to bleed blood, some score was left on the platform. Who offlimits paths, for miles cast in the torrison, there were a several minor disturbances, and in the early noon the troops became so serious that a hot call was sent in. Fifty traction car.

The authorities ordered the bar closed at Wheeling such as soon as the excursionists arrived. William Hall is under arrest for cuttin John Skull with a big pocketknife, and a charge of carrying concealed weapons may be lodged against him, carrying it upon conviction, a six months' sentence. On the way to the city a man engaged in an altercation with Charles Poffenberger, a trolley car conductor, and after being put off the car, threw The Paper That Promotes Progress larger work which she was about to enter. She says in certain sections of the state young women sadly in need of education and other things necessary to make their lives ennobling. She at once set about to better their condition as speedily as possible. She went to Daytona, Fla., to begin her life work in 1894. Her ambition was to establish a school that would have for its aim the higher and industrial education for girls and young women. How to begin the work with only $1.50 was the problem which confronted Mrs. Bethune. But this condition was not sufficient to discourage her, for she soon succeeded in renting an old abandoned house of five rooms. These rooms were furnished with material for beds and cooking utensils from friends in the neighborhood, who gave liberally after seeing Mrs. Bethune's determination to succeed. The school began with five students. After struggling along for a long time and winning the confidence of the community the school soon began to grow. Today it is one of the largest and most flourishing institutions in the south. The school has a student body of 600 girls, 100 being boarding students who come from various sections of the south. There are three splendid buildings situated on twelve acres of land, which make an ideal campus. The property valuation is about $30,000. From one teacher the school has now a faculty of eight teachers, representing Fisk, Wilberforce, Hampton and Pratt. Since the establishment of the school it has done much for the moral and intellectual improvement of the community. In connection with her work as principal of the school Mrs. Bethune gives much time to the welfare of the women and children of the community. She has organized a women's council, which has for its aim the discussion of problems affecting home life. Mrs. Bethune is spending the summer in the north, where she is soliciting funds with which to erect a girl's trades building and an infirmary. The two buildings will cost about $20,000. Mrs. Bethune states that it takes about $9,000 a year to run the school. Thirty dollars will pay the expenses of a student for a year. A brick which cut a long gash in Potter's leg.

PASTOR'S LABORS RECOGNIZED BY BISHOP TYREE Rev. S. H. V. Gumhs Deserves Much Credit for the Uplift Work Accomplished. Those who labor among the people as pastors, missionaries or social settlement workers in New York doubtless have some knowledge of the work of Bethel A. M. E. chapel in West Sixty-third street. The Rev. Mr. S. H. V. Gumbs, the enterprising young pastor, deserves much credit for the splendid work of uplift which he has accomplished. Mr. Gumbs is a native of St. Kitts, British West Indies, where he received the rudiments of his early education. He later graduated with the degree of master of arts from St. George college. Pastor Gumbs is well informed, as he has traveled much in England and other countries, on the continent. He was ordained in the Protestant Episcopal church in England by Bishop Portland. For a long time he was missionary secretary of the Red Cross society of the church of England and while in this capacity traveled extensively through Africa, China and the holy land. While in the holy land he had the honor of being baptized in the river Jordan, being among the few men of the race to be so honored. Ten years ago he came to America and joined the A. M. E. conference. He has since pastored in Newark and Passaic, N. J., and several cities in the New England section. When he came to New York he established the Bethel chapel, of which he is the pastor. The congregation has steadily grown, and the pastor and members are planning to build soon. At the recent conference of the church Bishop Tyree was pleased with the report of Rev. Mr. Gumbs. The church is in one of the most thickly settled districts in New York and wields quite some influence. Bethel chapel is also third in the conference for dollar money. Van Batch, a 15-year old son of William Batch of Lovedead Hill, Elizabeth township, was bathing with a number of hoses in a swimming hole near his home Tuesday night, when he made a dive and did not come to the surface. When the body was recovered a short time later it was found he had stabbed a fractured skull by swirling a sunmered rock with his hands. NOTED M. E. BISHOP IS DEAD Bishop Henry W. Warren. DENVER, July 23—Bishop Henry W. Warren, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who was retired from active work by the general conference last May, died here tonight. He was struck off with pneumonia a few days ago. JOHNSON BECOMES BASEBALL PLAYER The Quest James Whitcomb Riley am looking for Love. Has he passed this way, With eyes as blue as the skies of May, And a face as fair as the summer dawn? You answer back, but I wander on; For you say: "Oh yes; but his eyes were gray, And his face as dim as a rainy day." But stout of heart will I onward fare, Knowing my Love is beyond some where, The Love I seek, with the eyes of blue, And the bright, sweet smile, unknown of you; And on from the hour his trail is found I shall sing sonnets the whole year round.

Geometric Chant for Aug. 8. The gether views those business see to make the urging ing me. Theness a sense who w the die. The plei The work of the organization has shown to the world that the Afro-American woman is fully capable of keeping pace with the strides of an advanced civilization and not falling below the standard of the women of other races that are engaged in a similar profession. The members of this movement are indebted with the spirit of philanthropy that is evidenced in many ways, one of which is the effort to start a benefit for disabled nurses. Therefore this feature will be conducted upon a comprehensive basis, and the providing idea of a nurses' home for the disabled members of the organization will be the ultimate outcome of this timely activity on the part of the association.

The local committee on entertainment has completed arrangements to care for a large number of delegates and visitors. The meeting is designed to bring together for mutual interchange of views, ideas and methods of work those members of the race engaged in business and the professions. It is to see to what extent progress has been made along the various lines of industry that the officers of the company are urging a large attendance at the coming meeting. The question of patronizing our business and professional concerns will receive considerable attention from those who will read papers and take part in the discussions at the various sessions. The promoters of the association believe that to show the real effort and achievements of the race in business, intelligence and worth to be a stronger argument in favor of full manhood rights than mere oratory or adopting lengthy resolutions which cannot be made effective.

Fielding; secretary, S. P. Savage; assistant, Miss M. Carter; correspondent, Rev. W. C. Oster, A. M.; treasurer, H. Insley, M. D.

PITTMAN'S SUCCESS AS AN ARCHITECT Encouragement For Aspiring Young Afro-Americans in the Field of Architecture Found in the Actual Achievements of a Former Student and Graduate. RECORD OF HIS WORKS NOTED THE AFRO-AMERICAN LAND NEAR ATLANTA POPULATION IN CITIES IDLE FOR FORTY YEARS Houston. Tex. - Ground will be broken here about Aug. 1 for a public library for the colored residents of the city. The library is the result of the liberality of Andrew Carnegie, who gave $15,000. The architect is W. Sidney Pittman, who has drawn plans for some of the largest buildings erected by the race within the last five years. J. Mr. Pittman is a native of Montgomery, Ala. He was educated at Tuskegee institute, graduating in 1000. He later took the course in architecture at Drexel Institute, Philadelphia, afterward returning to Tuskegee, where he taught architecture for several terms. THE AFRO-AMERICAN POPULATION IN CITIES The percentage of colored people living in the 223 cities of the United States which have a population of 25,000 or more inhabitants in 1912 is estimated at 5.7 per cent. In two northern states and one western the population is given as follows: Pennsylvania, 193,000; New York, 134,000, and Oklahoma, 137,000. Cities having a colored population of from 40,000 to as high as 44,000 are Washington, New York, New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Memphis, Atlanta, Richmond, Va.; Chicago, St. Louis and Louisville, Ky. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOUNG COLLEGIANS The successful operation of drug stores by Afro-Americans in many of the large cities of the United States is encouraging. Hundreds of our young men and women who are graduates in pharmacy from some of the best schools are finding employment in these stores. The largest wholesale and retail drug store owned and operated by our people is in Chattanooga. Tenn. CREDITABLE BUSINESS The promoters of the silk mills and factory in Payetteville, N. C., are much encouraged by the success which they have had in operating the plant. It is said that the finest grade of silk manufactured anywhere in the south is turned out by this concern. The plant is a credit to the business ability and industry of the owners and also reflects the intelligence and skill of the operators. Everybody is doing it. What? Why? leading the Courtier. Attention Agents Do you know advertisements are the life of any newspaper. If you have any of our people in business in your town see them at once and any of the white merchants that have trade with our people should patronize this paper. We have the readers. What more should an advertiser desire? Get busy. —(Manager.) THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY SUCCESS IN ARCHITECT For Aspiring Young in the Field of Ar- nd in the Actual of a Former Student S WORKS NOTED Among the many buildings that he has designed are the Negro building at the Jamestown exposition, the buildings at the National Religious Training School and Chauauqua, Durham, N. C.; the White Rock Baptist church, Durham; the $100,000 Colored Young Men's Christian association building in Washington, the Garfield public school, Washington; the Carnegie library in Montgomery, Ala., and the projected $150,000 building for the Knights of Pythias in Dallas, Tex. The latter building will contain four stories and will be divided into a theater, lodge and office rooms. It will be of brick and stone with all steel framework. Mr. Pittman's work in this section of the country will necessitate himself and family taking up residence in this section for the time being. Mr. Pittman was one of the leading spirits in the upbuilding of Fairmount Heights, a Washington suburb, where he and other prominent Washingtonians made their homes. Although Mr. Pittman's native home is Montgomery, Ala., he has resided Washington for a number of years. His present residence at 3509 Benton Avenue, Dallas, Tex., is graced by Mrs. Pittman and three children. Mrs. Pittman before her marriage was Miss Portla Washington, daughter of Dr. Bookes T. Washington. She is an accomplished pianist, having studied at the New England Conservatory of Music. Mrs. Pittman also studied music for several years in Europe. Notwithstanding her many duties she still finds time to devote to the study of music and giving instructions to many pupils. The people in the vicinity of her new temporary home will find in Mrs. Pittman an energetic woman, thoroughly interested in the advancement of the race along all lines. LAND NEAR ATLANTA IDLE FOR FORTY YEARS 400 Acre Tract Owned By The Freedmen's Aid Society Should Be Cultivated. With the idea of using every facility at its command for the advancement of education among Afro-Americans some forces within the Episcopal Methodist church argue for the expansion of one or two of the twenty-three schools of the denomination along lines which will more effectively reach and help the masses. One writer has pointed out in the public prints the suitable location of either Clark university or Claflin, particularly referring to the fact that for forty years the Freedman Aid society has owned a 40-acre tract of land near Atlanta, lying idle, contributing no revenue to the schools. In view of these facts it appears that, according to his record, Dr. L. Garland Penn can come near bringing to pass the features of educational work in these church schools that will most effectively reach the masses of the people. There is perhaps no one who has a wider influence within the church who can bring to the educational work more substantial support than Dr. Penn. Hundreds of letters have been received commending his selection to this important post from government officials, white and colored pastors, bishops of the church, business men of national and worldwide reputation, all of whom pledge to the new secretary their continued support and good will.

THE RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL DELATION TO THE WOMAN BY CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DEBORAH MEYALL FRIDAY. JULY 26. 1912 CHAPTER XIII.—Continued. "I love your daughter in ways that I doubt you are able to understand; but I would not take her on such conditions whose you mean me to infer; I would not degrade her by thinking of her on such terms, even if I lost her forever. I am unworthy of her now, IGod knows! but I would be so far beneath her under such circumstances that I could not even look at her again. I don't understand how she could have been born of such a father." "I will not be talked to in that manner by you, sir," cried Haldane, who did not lack courage. "I here and now definitely decline your proposal for my daughter's hand." "I will take that declination from her, and from no one else!" said Gormly. "She will repeat it, I am sure, if she bears with what insolence you have treated me." "And I pray God for the sakes of her love toward you and her respect to ward you that she may never hear one word of what you have said. I have had enough of this interview, Mr. Haldane." He turned to the door. "Wait!" said Haldane. "To hear another infamous proposition from you." "No, sir. But I have something more to say, and it is this: You are not so invulnerable yourself, sir, but that you might be glad for a little judicious silence." "What do you mean?" "Never mind what I mean. You publish what you have there at your peril! I warn you that in two days thereafter, your name will ring as a scoundrel and a blackguard throughout the United States." "Having tried bribery and failed, you now resort to threats," said Gormly. "But that you are her father—" He clenched his flat, stood staring a minute, then shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and turned away. "You won't be warned, then?" said Haldane. "Not by you." "And you intend to publish my connection." "Everywhere." "I shall tell Eleanor that you have done it." "I shall tell her myself." returned Gormly, tearing open the door. "Haldane," he called, as he stepped into the hall. When the young man presented himself, he thus addressed him: "Your father and I have had a rather painful interview, into the details of which it is not necessary to enter. I have only to say that the story I told you goes to the newspapers tonight. And now," he held out his hand, "goodby. I wish that we might have fought together until the end." "But we are going to fight together until the end," cried the young man fiercely. "I love my father, and until now I have always respected him. I have been contempt to follow his lead; but I can do so no longer." "You will both of you live to regret it," cried old Haldane after a bitter look at the pair. With his head high he marched out through the door. "Do your worsit?" he said he closed, it behind him. "You will see what will happen to you in a day or two!" "What does it mean?" asked Miss Stewart. "It means," Hald Livingstone, "that my father is tangled with a gang of soundrels; that he is the brain and backbone of the Gotham Freight Traction company that we are fighting; and that he is in close alliance with the Sachem society. It means that we—my family and I—are disheared. It means that I no longer have the right to ask you what I had intended to ask you when the campaign was over and we had won, to my wife." "Are you asking me now?" cried Miss Stewart ecstatically. "I would be if it was proper." "Is proper?" she said, blushing divinely. ... "You go out and tell the rich, I don't love your daughter your husband." Here Gormly turned and waited for the drawing room again. When he came back, which he did not do until A man adjusts his suit while a woman sits at a table, writing on a book. "And This Is Why You Made Me That Offer of Marriage?" summoned by Miss Stewart herself, he confronted the blushing pair. "You could not have chosen a truer, better man than Mr. Haldane," he said. "And as for you, Haldane, you are the luckiest man on earth." He sighed with envy and regret as he spoke. $ I want to do something for you now." said young Haldane. "Well, there is one thing you can do for me." "What is that?" "I want to see your sister, and immediately." "I will have her here in ten minutes," answered the young man, tearing himself away from Mia Stewart without another word. CHAPTER XIV. Gormly Realizes His Greatest Temptation. Gormly had faced many difficult situations in his life. Even his successful business career had confronted him with crises of moment. But he had never contemplated anything which imposed so hard a task upon his judgment and his feelings as the approaching interview. What means young Haldane would take to induce his sister to come with him, how much of what had transpired he would tell her. Gormly had no means of knowing of course; but he felt confident that by hook or crook the young woman would be produced, and that a few minutes would find him face to face with her. He did not in this least know how to begin or what to say, and the more he thought of it the more difficult became the situation. It was well that the time for reflection was short. It is better for a man who has to do great things to do them before the mental and spiritual enemy has time to instil doubts into the mind. And it was with a feeling of relief in his growing, apprehension and misery, therefore, that he heard the front door open. He heard voices that he "And This Is Why You Made knew in the hall, and in another moment the library door was opened and Miss Haldane entered the room alone. He had risen on her approach and stood confronting her. She was evidently greatly surprised. "It did not know you were here." she began. "Livingstone did not tell me. I did not expect—" "It was to see me, or rather that I might see you, that you were brought here, and I alone am, responsible." "It is a most extraordinary proceeding." said the girl nervously. "I can't imagine why I was brought to you." "It was necessary for me to see you." returned the man. "Then why didn't you come to my house?" "I could not." "Why not?" "There are reasons which will probably render me torever an unwelcome visitor to your house." "I believe," said the girl slowly, slowly, "that something very serious must have happened, or you would not have had me brought here." "I can scarcely bear to tell you." "You alarm me beyond measure!" erid the girl, pressing her hands to her breast as if to tell its wild throbbing. You must keep me in suspense any longer. You is that you like to be in a room with you." "Am I to blame for this?" --- He was very pale now and she was scarcely less white. "Walt!" said the man, as she lifted the paper and bent her head. "Perhaps it would be more merciful to tell you." "Just as you think best. I am a strong woman. I can bear anything. In it about," there was a long pause—"my father." He nodded his head. "What has he done?" "Miss Haldane," he began, "I say to you quite simply that I would rather be dead than stand here as I do now with the burden of telling you that your father is the head and front, the backbone, the brains, the genius, the everything, of the Gotham Freight company and the Fasham society." "My God!" exclaimed Miss Haldane, the paper dropping from her fingers to the floor. She was paler than ever. She stared at him almost in dumb incomprehension. Her body swayed slightly. Gormly stepped closer to her, seized her gently, supported her to a chair by the library table. She put her face in her hands and rocked to and fro silently. "It can't be true," she said at last. "You are mistaken. Surely not my father in that slak of corruption and bribery and insiquity and shame! Say it isn't true." "I wish to heaven I could say it; but—" The man shook his head. "I told you that I would rather have been dead than have brought this upon you." "You are not to blame," answered the woman, her sense of justice uppermost. "It is the fact itself that kills, if it be a fact. There must be some mistake." "I wish there was." "Are you sure absolutely?" "Your father confessed it here in this room a half hour ago." this room a half hour ago. "Why do you tell me of it?" "Because," was the answer, "the whole world has to know it, and I preferred to tell you myself rather than let you get it from the newspaper." "You are going to publish it?" "Tomorrow morning." "But why—why?" She threw up her arms in nervous appeal. "Think," said the man, "it is the one fact that makes my election certain." "And does your ambition run to the wrecking of my father's good name in order that you may be elected?" "No. If you will think, you will know that it does not. I am doing it for the sake of honor, for the sake of duty, for the sake of humanity" he paused and raised his own hand. "So help me God!" he cried with upturned free Me That Offer of Marriage?" "But is it necessary?" "Absolutely." "Why?" "Why?" "The cause of popular government is being fought out right here. The contest transcends in importance any political battle that has even been waged. If the government of and for and by the people is to be a success, we have to demonstrate it now or else go down, it may be forever. The people have a right to know what is back of the Sachem society, where it gets its enormous corruption fund. I should be a traitor, false to my duty, a betrayer. If I did not make public this knowledge that has come to me." "It is all true," she said at last. "You say my father was here?" "Yes." "He was very much agitated at some news that my brother brought him a short time ago. Does Living-stone know?" "He does." I told him. "Why?" "To give him an opportunity to withdraw from association with us in view of this attack." "And what did he decide? "He deed it to stay with me." "And this is what you made me the crystal that I am now." without that sign. "That was kind of you. You have always been kind to me." "I don't see how you can say so after this." He pointed to the paper. "This," she replied, her eyes following his outstretched hand, "makes a great difference, doesn't it." "I don't know. I suppose it will. It does not make any difference in me." "But don't you see it makes it impossible for me if you—How could it? The enemy of my father!" "I don't suppose you could," he answered. "That is another reason why I wrote when I did, because I was fearful that you would hate me when my agency in the unearthing of this was known; that you would receive no communication from me; that our acquaintance would be broken off; and I wanted you to know before it was too late all that was in my heart." "I are surprised," said the woman, "that you could still continue to love the daughter of—" "Don't say that!" quickly interposed Gormly. "I don't love you because you are anybody's daughter, but because you are yourself. I cannot trust myself to speak about it when I see you," he continued, turning away, "and I could cure myself for ever having become involved in such a situation. I wish there was some way out of it. Sometimes I am minded to—" "They say no way out of it," said the girl quickly. "No, I suppose not." He turned away from her and began to pace the room with long steady steps. "Mr. Gormly," she said at last, "come here. Sit down there on the other side of the table. I want to see you." "Amazed, the man complied with her request. "Now tell me the whole solemn truth. You say my father was here with you before I came!" "Does he know that you know?" "It was to see me about that that he came." "Did he make some effort to induce you not to publish these facts?" "Naturally." "What was the effort?" "He argued with me." He argued with me. "Is that all?" "He threatened retaliation." "I is that all?" "I think he even pleaded." "And is that all?" "Yes," said Gormly, telling her his first lie, telling it bravely, endlessly, even looking her straight in the eye without blenching. "Mr. Gormly," returned the woman, "whatever he is, my father is not a fool." "His worst enemy would not so describe him." "He knew that you were not a man who could be moved by threats or entreaties. You have demonstrated that you can be, in this campaign at least, iron hard, inflexible, immutable. And there is no argument that any mortal man could use which could induce you to hold your hand. Isn't that true?" "I—I am afraid so." "What then did he propose to influence you?" "Great heaven," cried Gormly. "I have told you all that I will tell you; all that you have a right to know! Surface it to say that he did not move me." "Mr. Gormly, I ask you,' I implore you, I adduce you, did my father offer me to buy your silence!" Gormly stared at her in ghastly horror. "You don't answer," said Miss Haldane. "No." (TO BE CONTINUED.) NAME SHOULD KILL DISEASE "Bioroentgenograph" is Machine That Is Expected to Take Moving Pictures of Our "innards." "Bioroentgenograph!" No, it is neither a pilline nor a disease, nor the name of a count from Muscovy. It is a machine. But, oh, such a machine! Its inventors, two Munich doctors, claim that it will take moving pictures of our "innards," that it will photograph our heart beats, and outbreak bacon in process of digestion. We hope it won't. In fact, regardless of the disadvantage of their demise from a standpoint of scientific progress, we hope those two prying physicians will choke to death on the name of their invention. It was bad enough in all consequence, for superpsychological novel writers to make moving pictures of our minds and untangle with alarming patience the myrtle convolutions of our cerebrum and cerebellum, but when they propose to riddle our whole anatomy to get subjects for cineomatograph films, we feel called upon to protest. Think of the consequence if such an invention becomes common as the camera. Then, when you sing to some fair maiden "My Heart Beats All for You," or "There's a Little Wheel a Turnin' in My Heart," she may level her biorecentenograph in your direction and prove your perilous falsehood with one snap of the button, Alas, to think that there was once a day when love was blind as justice! Du Queane's First Flight A monument of the gallant Admiral Du Queue has just been provided at Bouchet, where he was buried in 1688, and the story of his first fight is therefore apposite. He was the son of a ship builder, and at the age of 17 was placed in command of one of his father's vessels. He sailed forth, espied a Dutch vessel, boarded it, compelled it to surrender and brought it into port. Not until he had been carried through the streets in triumph on the shoulders of his fellow townmend did it occur to the officials that France and Holland were at peace. That fact being admitted, legal proceedings had to follow, as the result of which the youthful captain was warned to be more careful another time. Ricklewell, however, heard of his exploit, and without considering the comity of nations offered him a commission in the navy. The Queen Part of It WASHINGTON WASHINGTON (BY Mrs. E. H. Brooks.)

BRUCE GIVES STATISTICS HIGH SCHOOLS FOR NEGRO YOUTH IN AMERICA—LARGE INCREASE IN 30 YEARS—FAC:L- ITIES FOR. EDUCATION VERY Goon. Washington, D. C—In presenting diplomas to the graduates of the Arm- strong Manual Training school at Howard theater, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of public schools, sald in part: “I appreciate the honor which bes been extended to me by the principal and facalty of the Armstrong schoo! ‘The privilege of presenting the diplo mas to this rare group of young men and women {s ope which would appeal to the least Imaginative of men. i ‘think of the ambitions of mothers and fathers that are. realized ‘today. J ‘think of the atruggies and sacrifices these faithful men and women have made to give thoir boys and girls the opportunities of an oducation pro loniged throygh twelve or thirteen years. 1 think of the moral and {n- tellectual victories which these younR menjand womee have won over dle fons of « thousand names and over the arduous tasks of school life L think of their enduring effort snd @itience and determination. 1 think ‘of the happy, serviceable lives thes will lead in this and other commual ties. I think of the fnestimable power for refinement and for social uplift which they will exert wherever thelr lots may be cast in the difficult years that are to come—I ajolce: ast em exceedingly glad. “But 1 should do {njustice so the sixaitegnce of this occasion did I not mentida the larger problem io which the endeavors of the Armstrong schoo! are involved. In those cities and states where seperate schools for oF youth are maintained what progress faas been made in extending bieb ‘school opportunities? How do the facilities which sxist here at the cap {tal of the nation compare with those in other localities? Is there anything in the locat situatfon which bids us take heed that substantial Improve ment may result? At these questions on this day of rejoicing we shall do j well to glance. "My first question relates to the ‘enlargement of facilities for secon: acy education in those communttic where separate colored high schaols ‘are maintained. In 1880 there were 38 public high schools for colored youth n the southern states, with 5.297 students; In 1590, 63, with 11.48¢ students, and in 1901, 100, with 1202 students, ° “Ia 1910 here were-342 public high schools for negro youth In America These sdiools were scattered io 21 states and the District of Columbla: they enrolled 8,978. students, of whom 32 per cent. were boys. From 1880 to 1910—a pertod of only 30 yeare—the number of bigh school | grew trom 36 Sage tncrease o 294 per cent. and the number of stu bay from 5.237 to 8.973, an increase of 71 per cent,” Truly these facta re lest great créqif not only: upon the states aud citieSwhich made !t pos bie, but also upon this great demo cratic nation, “These young men and women be fore us are especially. to be congratu Ided upon the fact that they have some reasonable conception of the fe careers upon which they are, t ‘enter; they have enjoyed some prelim inary traping for those careere.

By, B. 0. SELLERS, Director of Ere ‘ning ‘Tiepartment. ‘The Moody Bible Taatitace of Caleago.) PeueeEeeese Da LESSON FOR JULY 28 ‘THE WHEAT AND THE TARES. them: bat gather the wheat into my berm.” Matt. 12:28 ‘The thirteenth chapter of Mab thew's gospel is the great kingdom chapter of the Bible. Seven parables tm this chapter give us each of seven aspects or applications of the prinet ples of the Kingdom. In this lesson we are taught the mixed character of the kingdom and also of the ultimets separation of tw; of which it ta composed. man” v.14, goes out to sow good seed in his feld. This man we are told in ¥. 37, is the Bon ot Man, and elsewhere: that the feld is the world, the hearts of mes. Then followed “the propagating stage, that period over which man has 00 com trol. During this period while men ate and slept awaiting the time for cultivation and of harvest, the enemy of men’s souls cathe and sowed tares, e common darnel which so tlosaly resembles wheat in its earliest stage’. ‘After this propagating period had passed the man and his servants went out one day to find in thelr field evt dence that another bad also sown seed. The teat of every life is the fruit produced. During these earlier stages, the tares bad looked so nearly lke the wheat as not to be readily @istingutshed, but now that the bar ‘vest time approaches the difference is all @o evident. It is significant from this parable that mo blame is laid upon the servants that they should have allowed the two:to grow up dur ing this firat stage. Surprise, anger hod disappointment stirred the hearts of the servants when they discovered the mixed character of the approach ing harvest. The master, however, ‘cleara them of all blame, for, sald he “Our enemy hath done this.” Not an enemy, as the King James version has ft. Satan is ubiquitous, ~but.the oa of God in greater than he, see I. Peter 3:22. ‘ Parables He Taunt, * It the servants had sought to up root the tares they would in all likely hood have dope more damage thas good, though this does not imply any confict with Jesus’ words as found in Matthew 5:29, 30. The seed bad the same environment ax in God's good time the separation should take place ko “let both grow together” until doth be fully developed. Then he will say to the reapers, gather first the tares ‘and burn them, but gather the wheat into my darn. Notice the tares did not evolve into wheat. Like begets Mike. Gather Into bundles is the command. If we sin together, we must expect to auffer together. The wheat was ripe for full salvation, blessing and a further usefulness, while fhe ¥e-were ripe only for destractlom ‘Mer oscbing. there parables, 'o! which this is bat one, Jesus sent the multitude away and more fully and completely taught bis disciples the {nner meaning of this parable. The field is the world, and If wo ask we shall have the heathen for our inherit ance and the uttermost part of the world as a possession (Ps 2:8). The | good seed are the sons of the King dom, but the tares “are the sons (chil dren) of the evil one. Both the sons of the good and tie sons of the bad | grow from, and develop out of seed |the sons of the kingdom from the {good seed. ,James (1:18) tells us that | our essentidt nature is good; that he | bringa us forca by the word of truth: jand that we are a kind of first {rut lof his creation. Not 30, bowever | with the sons of she evi! one (John 8: 44). Hell was not prepared for j man, dgt for the devil and hia angel | (Matt, 25:41). Hence the tares, chit |dren or sons of the evil one, are cas ‘into the furnace and burned (v. 42), In the fire here mentioned, Ilteral fire’ {it certainly is in this parable, but the | Master, 1s dealing in particular with the question of future _pualsimeat {We do not, thergfore, read ‘annbplla tion into this lesso0. j We must remember the threo les }wons we have been -studying. The ‘grat concerned the nature of the seed Vand the soll; the second deals witt ‘the mystery of the growth, and deve! opment of the kingdom, whereas thi lesson has to do with the mixed char lacter.of the Kingdom due to the ad imizture of other séed.

Thomas, professer of sociology in the University of Ohloage. Prof. Thomas takes no stock in race superiority or tnhereat intelligence es an inheritance. The children of every race have to be taught all that their ‘Tathers knew, ané any break tm the edacation from sire to son starts the ebild back from the highest. to the lowest point of cultural education and refinement. That is to say, education and culture are not transmissible, as an inheritance, from the father to the son. These are locked up in the son, ‘and require the same long cultural Tre to unlock them as was re sired, in the case of the father.’ The same theory holds in the case of en- vironment and social status; these ‘must be’ continued unbroken." from fatige to sen or relapse is reasonably . Talking about handicaps to tndtvidual succe3s or unsuccess, Prof. Thomas sage: “It may naturally oc cur to some of you that race prejudice le the most serious and oppressive form of isolation and cause of mental backwardnegs in the case of the Ng, fro, and I am certainly not inclined to make light of prejudice. At the same time I do mot regard tt as a profound ty serious matter. It ts something you can get by—it may even be « stimulation. Compared with slavery or serfdom, it is trivial. I am now making ‘oir studies among the Slavic peasants of Europe, for,~ the peasant was and is mentally as pack- ward as the Negro is or as he War-in slavery. I have found va Jor backward cases. But -my rea. son for speaking lightly of prejudice Is that it does not successfully isolate. One of the gentlemen from Jamaica who excited your interest here by his mentd} poise and the nimbleness of his wits confessed that he had studied In some of the most fmportant centers of learning in the world. The-polnt worth emphasizing fe that rade Dre fudice as “the most serious = op pressive form of isolation,” need not be a drawback but may be mado “stimulation” to mental, physical and material development and growth. The Imitator of anything is not the origins. tor of the thing, and that which may be good for the originator of ft may be destructive for the originator of it Mr. F. G. Peck, in the same number of the Workman, talking about “Conser vation for the Indians,” says that the difference between the Negro and Ip- dian fs that the Indian has retained his mental attitudes, his social isola- tion and bis manhood independence, fefusing to relinquish bis own for those of the white man, -and is the stronger for dolng so: while “the un- enviable present social position of the Negro ves is undeniably partly due to the \way in which they have faithfuliy- wed their native origin- ality to become annihilated... . Sure ly the experiment in mild submission has not proved an advantage to the Negro, so far as bis social rank is concerned;" while in the same issue; talking about “Education Among the Bantu of Southeast Africa,” Mr. Mav- rice 3. Evans of the African Society of London, takes the same view of the matter as Mr. Peck does. He says: It seems to me that in breaking down this life we, the Europeans of South Africa, are placed in a position of re- sponsibility we must whole heartedly ‘accept. “To leave the native subject to the corrupting influences of our eivilization in bis present unprepared state, is to leave the door open to disaster for him and for us. And if for no other reason than to act as & counterpolse for this destructive pro- cess how going on, it fg imperative that some influence for "good should be brought to bear upon him. To go back to the old life is impossible, the new te full of danger to a race 90 apprepared for change; the Europeans of South Africa are responsible for this and it is our palpable duty to take steps to minimize or remove the danger and give the native guidance and opportunity for a higher and bet- ter life. And I must confess, the only method I cap set is education in its broadest sense, which includes moral and reiisioug¥instraction. It is proble matical, however, if the broadest Eng- lish education will ever make out of the Bantu as good and strong & people as would have cultural education of him along Bante lines. He was 8 stz:- ple pastoral people, and education tong his lines of thought and habits made him a strong African Bantu and not « week Engtish Bantu, think- tox in Bantu and talking and working to English, as many American Ne groes do even now, some centuries re moved from their African habttat, Ian. guage and religion.

MODERN MAID IS WIDE AWAKE That Hole in the Fence BY GRACE KERRIGAN (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press) "Now, then, my dear, tell me all about it." Aunt Hetty had arrived from Michigan on a visit to her sister, and this was the second day after. She had asked her niece, Miss May Clyde, to take a seat with her under the blossoming apple tree, and she had put an arm around her as she said the words. "All about what?" was innocently asked. "Stuff! Don't pretend you don't know. You are twenty years old and haven't had a proposal yet. Why not?" "I'm too homely." "Shuckus! If I had you out in Michigan I'd have you married off in a month. The fellows around here must be working for about a dollar a day." "Do you want my reasons in chronological order, antyty?" May asked after a sigh had escaped on the blossom-laden air. "We don't have that word" out in Michigan, but you can go right ahead." "Well, at the tender age of sixteen I fell in love with a boy that drew me on his hand-sled. I found he was also drawing other girls, and I banished him from my heart." "That was what we call goose-love," said Aunt Hatty. "Well, at seventeen I climbed a tree and couldn't get down. Great chance for romance, but it didn't come. The grocer's boy got a ladder for me, but charged 25 cents for his services. Under such circumstances I couldn't give him my heart, could I?" "Of course not. I'd like to have that boy out in Michigan for a few weeks!" "At eighteen I was in a field picking dales when a bull took after me." "Lands alive!" "I ran screaming, and a young man in the road stopped and—" "He scaled the fence and broke that bull's neck," finished the aunt. "No. In running after me the bull stumbled and broke his own neck, and the young man went on without our having spoken a word to each other. Wasn't it a shameful case?" "We'd surely call it so out in Michigan." "Then at nineteen, at a summer resort, a canoe upset with me." "You don't say!" "Yes, aunty. I was paddling around and showing off before a lot of people when I got the flip-flop. Canoe just turned over and left me in the water." "And it was a mile deep!" "I thought so." "And you couldn't swim?" "Not a kick. Of course the people all saw it, and of course I screamed." "And it dozen young men fell over each other to plunge in to rescue you!" "No, anty. All the young men had gone to a game of ball, and the only man present had a wooden leg and was half-headed. He couldn't come to my rescue, but he hollered to me to wade ashore." "But how could you?" "Oh, the water was only two feet deep!" "It wasn't, eh? I'd like to have that lake out in Michigan just one summer, and the old peg-leg with it!" "And last fall I got to be twenty. I was riding out with a girl friend when the horse ran away. She jumped out and left me to be smashed up." "The cowardly wretch!" "After half a mile a young man dashed out into the highway and cried out that he would save me." "And I'll bet a cookie to a cent that he was from Michigan!" exclaimed Aunt Hetty. "There ain't a young man in our state who wouldn't do it." "Maybe he was a Michigangander," sighed Miss May. "but I shall never know. He stubbed his toe and the horse and buggy ran over him, and father had to pay a $40 doctor bill for him. Nothing has happened since, and how am I to get married?" "Don't they have spelling-schools around here," was asked. "Never heard of any." "Nor camp-meetings?" "No." "Nor lasses candy-pulls?" "No." "What a benighted country! Why, how does a girl get a fellow?" "I don't know. You asked why I wasn't married, and I've been telling you." "Well, we wouldn't put up with such things in Michigan a minute. We give a girl a chance out there, and some- Atogether Different Type From the Pictures That We Have of Her Grandmother. It is a common occurrence nowadays for ayoung girl to lose her heart as soon as a good-looking, jolly, good-natured young fellow comes along, only to find out that she has been part of an experiment because of a young man's fancy has turned lightly—prousting, as it were—round thoughts of love. The sadness and madness of it—the trivial tragedy that is enacted every year, in every suburb or provincial town, and there should really be no need of it. The wheel of Fortune brings some strange changes, and the girl of today is entirely different to the great-grandmother who shivered in short sleeves and low necks under a drooping tree while she waited for her young man to pour himself to her. The girl of today has learned her lessons and man had been her teacher. baby's getting married every minute two. There isn't an old maid nor an old bach within 20 miles of where I live." "But do you think my time will come some day, auntie?" "Got to, dear—got to. Don't you despair. Put on your hat and go up to the woods I see over there and see if you can find me some wintergreen berries. We Michiganers are mighty fond of 'em." The woods were half a mile away down the road, and were not fenced in. When one had penetrated them about 200 feet, however, there was a barbed-wire fence, and it was on the far side of this fence that Miss May saw the red berries. Even a queen can climb a rifle fence or clamber over a stone wall, but there isn't a lady the whole length of Fifth avenue that can negotiate a barbed-wire fence. It takes a brave man and a long-legged man. Miss May went wandering along that fence until she found a place where a heir had crawled through, and bent one wire up and another down, and she sank to her hands and knees and tried the same game. The bars caught and held her, and she was still there at the end of three long hours and after she had shouted herself boarse. Paul Ascott had come down from the city to revel in the balmy sunshine of early summer. He had promised to kill a few squirrels for a taxidermist friend, and it was on this very afternoon that he was out with a gun in search of the little fellows. He beckoned the wintergreens and picked some and sat down to eat them and redden in the stillness around him. By and by a succession of queer sounds caused him to rise up and advance towards a certain point. Poor May Clyde! The young man came face to face with her. He gave a start and rubbed his eyes. Never before had he seen a girl caught in the hog-hole of a fence, and he had to have time to recover. In two or three minutes he was unfastering the harbs caught in her shirtwait and prying apart the wires, and when he finally gave her a hand to reach her A woman in a dress and hat is reaching for a tree with a bucket in her hand. Miss May Went Wandering Along That Fence. feet she had to have his support for a time. She had almost lost her voice, but she managed to whisper: "Did did you ever do a fool thing like that?" "We all do at times," he laughed. "I think you live in the village, and you must let me, see you home." There was no talking on the way—at least from Miss May. Mr. Ascott uttered a few words of consolation and left her at the gate, and she went in and had a good cry before she could make whispered explanations to her mother and aunt. It was the next day before her voice was strong enough to ask of the aunt: "Wamn't it the awfulest, kind of awful?" "No, sir, it wasn't!" was the prompt reply. "But you see—" "I see that he'll call here this afternoon to laugh over the matter with you and that it's going to lead to love and marriage. May, every girl has got to be found before she can be loved. She may be found up a tree — in a cave — down the well — on a haystack. You was found in the hog-hole of a barbed-wife fence, and if that isn't romantic enough to bring about a marriage then I don't know how to put up pickled peaches." Mr. Ascott is a frequent caller at the Clyde house, and the family cook has winked at the butcher's boy and hinted that there was something do- Pava Better. "The bridegroom is a pleasant man "he has that certain something—" "I'd rather have a man with something certain." —Satire. Stag and Doe. "Why do so many of the fellows go to the big dances stag?"

Seafaring people can generally quote plenty of instances to show how ill luck dogs a captain once it has claimed him. I know of many such (writes "H. W.") but the most curious case is connected with a small island or large rock in the Mediterranean. There is, or was, according to report, a man living on it. He had a boat which fed on the very limited verdure of the place, and from foothills he made himself a hut. The crowds of missing ships would point out the smoke from his fire, though I confess I never could discern it myself. The story is that he was a ship's captain who was twice wrecked on this lonely place and rescued by passing vessels. One night he found his vessel piled up for the third time. His disgust was not lessened to find it was the same rock. His crew were rescued as before, but the captain refused to leave. He said it was no use. Fate would only send him back again, so he would stay where he was! I have sailed the Mediterranean in many different ships, but the story has always been told without variation—Manchester Guardians. PITTSBURGH COURIER INDEPENDENT LEAGUE ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS We, the National Independent Political league, in fifth annual session assembled in this city, where the Declaration of American Independence was signed on Independence day, the one hundred and thirty-sixth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Independent league was organized four years ago to preserve liberty and equality for colored Americans by the enforcement of the constitution, declare to our native country our fealty to the tenets of that first great independence decree, declare to our nation our first declaration of independence from political party slavery sent out at our birth. And we reaffirm our position as there stated against every traitor to our rights and our intention to continue our policy of opposing them by providing them with the defense under the motto "For Men and Measures Rather Than Party." We continue to insist upfoll manhood, political rights and equal civil rights and absolute equality of opportunities in all walks of life for all Americans. We will be satisfied with no compromise. We continue to oppose color prejudice, especially as manifested in color segregation in places of public assembly, accommodation or residence. We will oppose the finocar car, a stigma upon colored citizens such as no other civilized country puts upon its own citizen. We demand that congress pass a law forbidding the exclusion of any interstate passenger from any public carrier for race or color or to segregate We continue to protest against disfranchisement for race and color in the south. It is permitted by the federal government to violate the plain intent of the fifteenth amendment. Meanwhile the disfranchisning states are given their full quota of congressmen in the south. We demand that the president and congress break up this by the enforcement of the constitution. We continue to declare and condemn the human beings. This mob murder is anarchy and barbarism, an exhibition and publication of the weakness of government and of the brutality of the people. The false excuse is that an official message by ex-President Theodore Roosevelt has been exploded, especially by the shameless lynching of colored women. All the boasted humanitarian effort to stop the burning alive of human beings. State courts are powerless to punish lynchers, as is notorious in the Coasteville shame here, requiring a national menace and scandal, requiring national treatment. We demand that congress make lynching a federal crime under the sole jurisdiction of the state, not the charge of vengeance. Nothing is more cruel or productive of discontent and crime than the denial of industrial opportunity because of color, so flagging is inconsistent with the law. Exclusion is exclusion for race and color from membership of labor unions, which claim the right to monopolize employment. We demand state and federal laws prohibiting lynching. We continue to demand the same schools and education for all, regardless of color, to teach the values of tertiary and members of school halls as of purity. We reiterate our appreciation of the worth and work of ex-Senator Joseph Benson Fornaker as expressed in our first declaration and such men as ex-Senators Foraker and Balkley, who went to their political deaths at the hand of President Roosevelt battling for a square deal for ex-Senator Bill Clinton with trial, the blackest crime in the annals of our army, and here declare we will not, forget their destroyer. We reaffirm our position that these soldiers have not yet had justice at the hands of our enemy. We demand that congress pass the demand that congress pass the Foraker soldier bill and pledge our opposition to every one involved in this lynching of soldiers until he reverses his position. We declare in consistency with our first declaration our opposition to those condemned therein and that until they reverse their positions they are not entitled to the votes of self respecting colored men in the Philippines for their stand for the independence of their country and in conformity with our great Declaration of independence urge congress to grant them that independence which our republic en- We commend the colored Cuban patriots for their many resistance against a denial of full rights. Color prejudice has been a major issue in the United States. We call upon congress to prevent the sending of United States warships to Cuba to interfere against these Cubans fighting for their rights and against the United States. We demand that our republic, inasmuch as the failure of certain states to provide adequate school facilities is well known, we demand that congress take action along the lines of the bill of that great patriot Hon. Henry W. Blair. We advise the colored men of this country to be colorless iniquities and to use their ballots as a weapon of self defense, as a means to secure justice, liberty and equality, by voting not for the benefit of any party, but for the benefit of the recipients and beneficiaries of their votes who when elected are recurrent to their interests by voting them out and ever seeking by alliances to weaken or diminish the hostility We desire to ally ourselves with all those who are laboring for equal rights and opportunities for all the oppressed people of this world. We are not alone in these declarations, but we have not done so from malice, but of necessity in the desperate resistance to the loss of our rights. We are right to thank Senator Kane for the black battalion and favorable reception of the Moody-Pillarsy anti-lynching bill and constant loyalty as senator to the coloured people. We thank the Methodist general counsel for the commissioning the Republican platform committee for this anti-lynching bill and commend the president for his appointment of Judge Pitney and nonappointment of Judge Hook on request colored for the bill. Mr. the last presidential candidate of the National Prohibition party, for his rescue of a colored man out of the hands of a lynching mob and appeal to all friends of freedom to bring about liberty and equality for all in this land of our fathers.
