THE TRUE MEANING OF A HIGHER EDUCATION
CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS
VOL. III. NO. 46.
Necessity For Capable and Intellectual Leaders Shown by Results Attained
By GEORGE E. HAYNES. Ph.D.
In the preface of this article on the function of higher education a clear definition of "higher education" is necessary, because the confusion of many discussions comes through a double meaning of the term. It is its best sense education means the development of the powers of the individual which will enable him to meet the duties and opportunities of work, leisure and friendship.
Now, in coupling the word "higher" with the word "education" one of two meanings must be implied, either that there are certain systems of development which are "higher" than others, that are lower, or that the character of the education received is higher than the other. The confusion usually arises in forgetting that the criterion of education is the relation of the result of education to the capacity for reception and power for use of those receiving it. If, then, we take our point of departure from those who are educated we shall very probably come to the sound conclusion that education is "higher education," so called, both in system and character, which develops or tends to develop to the full extent of his capacity to receive and power for use of the one educated.
Results and Systems of Education.
The results should be farreaching. Any system of education, whether called higher or lower, that does not so develop is not education. We should measure any system by this criterion of results. Whether the education is given with tools, in shops, in laboratories or in library and literary halls, if it does not the powers of the student so that be any meet the duties and opportunities of life better prepared it is not education at all, higher or lower.
The capacity for the many for development is far below the capacity of the few. The opportunities of life for the capacity of the many can best be met by a system of education which will prepare them for the most intelligent labor, for the masses of mankind must be lifted higher than they are.
And for this purpose the capacity of the few must be developed and brought to the service of the many. Progress must keep up full speed, and head and heart are the double cylinders that must furnish the power. In a word, intelligence and emotion move the world. And the function of higher education is to develop the intelligence and give control of the emotions.
Two Principal Classes of Students. Let us apply this to our college and university systems. By general agreement, students may be divided into men and women of thought and men and women of action, accordingly as the dominant capacity of their minds is intellectual or emotional, or in more academic language, as they belong to the visual type or motor type of mind. The duties, opportunities and privileges of life which will confront these persons are those of leadership in thought and action. The thought leaders become the scientists, the great physicians, jurists, inventors, the writers, the men and women who think the great Creator's thoughts after him. The leaders of emotion are the statesmen, the preachers, the prophets, the artists, the idealists in many fields, the men and women who dream the dreams and see the visions no mortal ever dared to dream or see before. This class furnishes the militant leaders who sally forth like Joan of Arc and Saul of Tarsus to execute the call of their captain.
The University as a Place of Nurture.
Our colleges and universities, our institutions for "higher education," must be pieces of nurture for such men and women. If they are not such places, they betray their trust and their plants had best be turned to the use of so called common schools and industrial schools and their faculties sent to other occupations than that of the exalted station of the teachers and inspirers of our talented youths. While I am an optimist, cander leads me to say that our American colleges have stained grievously in this unutter. In the case of the Neuro college, four factors have emphasized these influences—viz. first, the belief that the only Negroes who could profit by liberal education were a few freaks; second, the presumption that the Negro people can advance without such leaders of action and thought; third, the conceived idea that such systems of Development were not designed for black men.
The fourth and last is the deliberate and selfish conclusion that such instruments of upift should be kept out of our hands lest we rise from the depths of segregation and slavery. These and other motions have been the crosses upon which many of the endowments of Negro colleges have been eroded.

COLEMAN INDUSTRIAL HOME TO HAVE TAG DAY
COLEMAN INDUSTRIAL HOME TO HAVE TAG DAY
The Coleman Industrial Home for Colored Boys will hold tag day next Saturday. Four years ago Godfrey Terry, then aged only 11, lost his parents. Four months the boy slept in alarms and rear vials. The boy was arrested as a vagabond and the jungle court declared to send him to Morgana. That's how in Coleman Home was founded. It was no fault of Terry's that he did not have a home, so the Juvenile Court found him one. They wanted S. A. Coleman, a decorator, and T. Mrs. Coleman, a hair dresser, who took the boy. Now he is in his school. Then came another father and mother year with children, and another, until there were under the case of the Coleman. The neighbors in the Place street made them move—they did not want their children to associate with them locked by the juvenile court.
The Colombs moved to 236 NW avenue and there founded their home for homeless Negro boys. For three years She Samaritans, both working hard at their trades, kept up the institution. Several East Enp persons came to the aid of the couple and part of the burden was lifted. Last year, the state gave the hom $2,068, more than half of which had been used, and the rest will soon be poised. The winter is coming and oops haye but one outfit of which we have food the shoes and sweep and they need blankets. There is why they want Duthschar to go blinded when they play tg Saturday. Last Saturday might a big meeting was held in Washington perks for purposes of raising a part of the fund to purchase winter clothes for the boys. Several speeches were made by prominent citizens. Mr. Colomban, founder of the home, made very interesting discourse on the need, plants and purposes of the home. The band composed of the boys of the home, furnished the music for the occasion. Prol. Harry C Waters is the musical instructor.

AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN'S POLITICAL POSITION
Hon. Richard T. Greener Makes Clear His Views as to the Political Parties
Chicago.—The open announcement of the allegiance of the Ion, Richard T. Greener to the national Democratic ticket, which recently occasioned a sensational surprise here, ought not to have been unexpected. Mr. Greener was a constant attendant on the national Republican convention and also at the Progressive convention.
When greeted by old Republican friends he remarked as to his attitude, "I am sitting on the fence at present watching the procession." When asked again, "is it Roosevelt or Taft?" he replied, with a smile, "Why, the fence I am on has Taft and Roosevelt on one side and Wilson and Marshall on the other." When asked for an interview Mr. Greener said: "I am not posing as I have been since 1577, when Hayes handed the Negro over to the tender mercies of his supposed enemies—the southern people—an independent Republican.
"I advised the colored people of South Carolina then to accept General Wade Hampton, although I took part in the campaign and risked my life against him. Why did I do this? Because I could see them as clearly as I do now that the Democratic rule of the south was to last for a generation at least; that the temper of the Republican party was to let the Negro shift for himself."
"But you continued to vote and advocate the Republican national ticket in various campaigns from 1880 until 1892."
"Yes, I did, and I was pretty roundly abused as a knuckle close Republican on that account.
"I do not claim any special merit now in my advocacy of Democratic candidates. I am well aware as many

are not that intelligent Negroes, some of the ablest men we have had from 1872 until the present time, consistently and streumously fought for the Democratic party, in some cases being rewarded with offices and in most cases being most fairly dealt with than many of the colored Republicans have been by their white Republican leaders. I could mention distinguished colored men who were in the Greylock movement of 1872 in the Mauwum movement in 1858 in 1859 with Cleveland in 1852. They helped to educate the Democrats.
"I look on the promises and plaintings of Republican platforms from 1858 to the present time and see that, so far as the colored people are concerned, the Negro plants are more sounding generalities." So far as the Republican party is concerned, it is no more the same party today that it was in 1876 than the Democratic party is

MADDEN DEFENDS RIGHTS OF THE COLORED SOLDIER
Strike Down the Color Line Says Illinois Congressman in a Forcible Speech
The attempt of Congressman Roddenbery, Democrat, from Georgia, to have the government create jimcrow soldiers' homes throughout the country for Afro-American veterans in an impassioned speech in congress last May was replied to in a masterly way by Congressman Martin B. Madden, Republican, from Illinois.
The house had under consideration at the time the conference report of the Sherwood pension bill (H. R. 24.016), granting pensions and increase of pensions to certain soldiers and sailors of the civil war and certain widows, and dependent children of soldiers and sailors of the said war. Mr. Roddenberry offered an amendment which provided that no pensions should be allowed inmates of national soldier-homes unless whites and blacks are cared for in separate domiciles and grounds.
Congressman Madden in his speech against the Roddenberry amendment said:
I am astounded that any man on this side of the country such an amendment as this bill seeking to pay pensions to soldiers who served their country. I cannot believe without saying a word in opposition to such an amendment. It ought to be the case that we should I hope with all my heart that every vote in the house will be cast against it. No man fought more bravely than the black men. They are entitled to their full share in the war and be one of the blanks who say their liberties were at stake? Yes, and the liberty of every other person in the land.
Thank God the close of the war brought liberty alike to the north and to south of the city, and that today we live in a land where slavery is no more, where every citizen is a sovereign. I grieve to see the gentleman from Georgia express such bitterness toward the Negro in his defending defenders. He should be advocating measures to help the Negro to help himself. The Afro-American has made wonderful progress, considering his lack of opportunity. He is a good citizen. He has been empowered not reviled.
Who led the successful charge at El Caney at San Junn Hill? Was it not the colored man? Who questioned his color then? Did any man have color? Did any man have his valor; all applauded his infidelity. He is brave; he is fearless; he is easily led; he makes a good soldier; he is entitled to be honored no less than his white brother. The color man will should receive the same tender care in his declining years that we are proud to accord to the white men who rendered equal service to the nation. We should know no color in ministering to the wants of the country; gave their all in defending the country. Gentlemen, strike down the color line. Defeat the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia and let the news spread into every home; the press will tolerate no discrimination in the treatment of the country's veteran soldiers on account of the color of their skin.
Churchman, Bishop C. T. Schaffer, who is the only minute of his life worthy of the title he bears and the position he occupies, and no one better than he that the man who makes this defence never asked for anything against a man's change.
But back to the chapel lock-out, I wish the heartless, Carlessius, act be painted in letters of fire, to anger the conscience of all who engaged in it until the devil of self-encouragement and self-righteousness, and access irrevocable may be consumed.
And now in conclusion, my life and many years of service is an open book to the people here and to seewhere, success is stopped on every page. I have never asked for appointment to this church in Pittsburgh, equally trust my labors have been blessed with album success, and handwritten with an gathered hard the book. I have pasted, and this one is a stamp of divine approval for which I am devoted thankful to him for assures me sunshine for each day's success for each passing year and at the end assures me unimurable past in the mansion above.

THE ORDER OF MOSES HOLDS ENCAMPMENT
PUBLIC APPROVAL FOR LIBERAL CULTURE CLUB
The Liberal Culture club of Chicago recently entuged upon its third year of usefulness. The club is composed of professional men and women, mainly graduates of high schools and universities. The meetings of the organization are held once a week on Friday night from October to July. The motto of the club is humanity, not sex, not creed, not race.
The club has for its object the mutual benefit of its members along intellectual lines and discusses questions of public interest—scientific, literary, theological, racial and social. The members have been favored with the most hearty co-operation of the leading ministers, laymen and other persons of note who take pleasure in giving the club the benefit of their opinion upon questions of public moment.
This group of intelligent men and women, though small in number, is truly representative of a larger and increasing class of progressive persons among the colored people of Chicago. Organizations of this kind should be more widely known and also larger in number for the inspiration and help of the great throng of educated young men and women, many of whom have no definite social or literary intercourse with one another outside of business or church relations.
The club cheerfully invites the cooperation of those who are interested in the work. Nonmembers may take part in the meetings as speakers on special topics, lectures and in other helpful ways. Communications may be sent to any of the officers at 3226 Primal avenue. The officers are Professor Richard T. Greener, president; E.D. Brown, M.D., vice president; Dr. C.H. Knight, treasurer, and H. Evalyn Moely, secretary.
METHODIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE THIS WEEK
The Methodist Ministers conference met in Wylie Avenue church last Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock, and a most interesting session was held. A large number of the pastors of the city and vicinity were present and matters pertaining to the educational and religious welfare of our people were freely and profitably discussed. Steps were taken leading up to an organized effort to secure positions for some of our educated young people as teachers in the public schools of Pittsburgh: It is hoped that all pastors of every denomination will unite in this effort.
The New President of the Pittsburgh Methodist Ministers' Conference, and 'Paor of Wylie Avenue A. M. E. Church.
A feature of the meeting was the resignation of Dr. D. S. Beatley as the president of the Ministerial Conference. This was due to the fact that Dr. Beatley has recently been assigned to the pastorate of Bethle church in Williamsport, Pa. and is too far away to attend the meetings.
Rev. P. A. Scott, pastor of Wylie
Abbott church, who served as the
counsor for the past twelve months,
was elected to succeed Dr. Bentley as
president and Rev. L. M. Upperman
of Abbey A. M. E. Zion church, was
chosen to the office of secretary.
Dr. L. H. Howard, pastor of Central
Park church, was a distinguished
visitor at the meeting last Monday,

the appointment of Mrs. Laura A. Hamilton to the position of postmaster at Fort Ethan Allen, VT, in July was made solely upon her merit. Two white men were her competitors.

MANY DELEGATES PRESENT
The forty-fifth annual session of the
right worthy grand encampment of
the Ancient United Order of Sons and
Daughters, Brothers and Sisters of
Moses, recently held at Teutonic hall
in Brooklyn, was a notable event in
secret society circles. The encampment
was in session four days and
was attended by members of the order
from nearly every part of the country.
The sessions were presided over with becoming dignity by Grand Master Solomon A. Bond of Baltimore. Secretary Joseph P. Smith of Troy, N. Y., in announcing the enrollment at the first session stated that there were 800 delegates present representing fifteen states.
The address extending the welcome of the delegates to the city was delivered by his honor Alfred E. Steers, president of the borough of Brooklyn. Mr. Steers assured the members of the encampment that he was mindful of the progress which the colored people have made in education, business, in the ownership of homes and churches. He impressed upon all present the necessity of co-operation, one with the other, along all lines in order to make even greater advancement in the future.
The address of Mr. Steers was responded to by Joseph E. Matthews, chairman of the local committee, arrangements. Mr. Matthews response was timely and aroused much enthusiasm among the delegates and visitors as he told of the many difficulties which the rate had overcome in making its way to citizenship and respectability. His reference to the founding of the order by Peter Paul Brown in Morristown, N. J., forty-five years ago brought the entire audience to its feet.
The exercises of the juvenile department were conducted by Mrs Judith E. Briggs, past grand vice matron. The program was rich in thought, well executed and showed that the little ones had been carefully instructed. The report of the secretary was highly encouraging and showed an increase in numbers and finance. The organization has upward of 25,000 members, and the combined bank account of the order is placed at $200,000. The order maintains headquarters in a $12,000 building on North Eutaw street, Baltimore.
The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Solomon A. Bond, Bailimore, grand master; William S. Jones, New York, deputy grand master; Miss Gertrude Green, Washington, grand vice master; Mrs. Elise Watts, New York, past grand vice master; James M.

Cheese is made after a winter, and re-used to the farm. While in Pittston, they have won the esteem of the children, all of whom are employed in the farm. They are happy and happy.
Jeremiah R. R. Jozef of princestown. Ed. and Mick Eilei. May Mothers of Pittston. He impatient, in married life, in a march parsonage last Monday, at 10 p.m. by Rover. Scott. The parsonage was witnessed by only a few best friends and afterwards the hand-made couple enjoyed a dayly taxi ride to their residence, where they will be at home to their many friends in a few days.
Those who entered the R. B. Harrison portal sent under the auspices of the Bethal A. M. E. Sunday school in the lecture room of the church Wednesday evenings, were highly pleased by the many humorous and classic numbers rendered so elegantly by Prof. Harrison. Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" was one of the numbers which was rendered with telling effect. His interpretation of Shakespeare's plays, by special request, he rendered Bryant's "Thinatopsis" very pleasingly.
Miss Perrine Stroud of East End, has returned home after spending the summer in the White mountains. After making an extensive tour of the East Miss Stroud stopped in New York for three weeks before returning home.
The Luray Social club gave one of its grand ballets at Continental hall, 127 Centre avenue, Monday evening, October 28. The crowd was unusually large and quiet, and the women most elegantly gowed.
The Big Four Social club will give its first grand congratulation ball at Continental hall Tuesday evening, November 5.
The Modern Dinner entertained Wednesday evening, October 20, at the residence of Miss Martina Gray. Such parties as these make all favored guests, guests and anxious to know when these young ladies will afford them such an eager treat.
Miss Robert Lewis gave a Tucson luncheon Tuesday evening, October 20 at the residence of Emilia street. The affair will commence to be housed at Madison James Watt Brown's.
The automobile party scheduled for Wednesday October 11 was no need since postponed. This too was planned in honor of Helen Brown. Let us hope even that delay did not hinder pleasure and that the joy of a Sunday trip was greater than that of a Wednesday joy could possibly have been.
Mrs. Gussie Holly-Gordon, who made on route to her home in San Jose, Cal. stopped in the city three days last week, resumed her journey Saturday. She was the guest of Mrs. W. Willef J. Holmes and while here attended the dinner dance at the Lopez club Friday evening. October 15.
The progressive cancer dance given by the Novotel Trio Friday evening.

THE MUSICIAN
---
There is no gainsaying the favor with which the new feather ruffs and neck pieces (with or without muffs to match) have been welcomed. The short bea of ostrich, tied with ribbon, is worn to match the plumes on velvet covered hats. It is very smart. Stole's of down trimmed with ostrich and made with muffs to match, are more generally useful, for they are made in the natural taupe gray, gray and white or in black, with a liberal sprinkling of black and white mixtures and combinations to choose from. These look well with any costume.
Where only a ruff is worn matching the plumes or in natural colors for general wear, velvet or plush nuffs in similar colorings are worn. Some of these are long barrel-shaped affairs, but very soft. Chiffon or crepe is used with the velvet and a charming finishing touch is provided in close bunches of ribbon or silk flowers. These are scented and the whole design is elegant and daunting.
SETS OFF THE DINING TABLE
Iridescent Glass Candlestick Is Recommended as Most Highly Desirable Ornament.
If tired of the ordinary silver or glass candlestick for the table, try those of iridescent glass. They come in many tones of opalescence and a variety of graceful shapes.
Sometimes just the candlestick is of the glass with a shade of paper or lace, but far the handsomest ones have the candlestick, the patent holder for the candle, and the bell-like shade of the iridescent glass. Occasionally the shade is a paler tone than the holder.
Candlesticks of white Dresden are attractive to use with the low white Dresden or Bellevue or Italian majolica flower vases in sections. A white candle, unshaded, is in, keeping with these holders. For a shade use one entirely white or white decorated with green ferns.
The colonial candlestick of glass should be severe in line, especially if it be of pressed glass. It will be given distinction by using a white candle—the patent white glazed holders are best—with a lingerie shade, embroidered in an open design in eyelet and finished with a pictot edge.
As a change, use with the colonial candlestick a colored candle, with a shade of the same shade of silk covered with filet lace. The four-sided square shade can be easily made by joining the squares of initiation flet with a narrow insertion.
If you have Canton china, use candlesticks of the same ware and shades of water colored paper, with design to match those on the china.
For a Dutch supper, are to be found quint candlesticks in delft blue with which are used paper shades painted with the familiar peasant and windmill scenes of Holland in tones of blue on white.
Done on Machine.
Wishing to make some dainty handskerchiefs and to give them the effect of drawn-through work with a colored thread run in, says a contributor to Needlecraft. I proceeded to thread my sewing machine with thread of the color I desired to use, creased or marked with a pencil the lines I wished to follow and stitched them, using a stitch of medium length. I did not draw threads as one does if the work is done by hand, and the effect is prettier, the work is stronger, does not draw when washed as that does by hand frequently does and requires little time. My friends who have seen the handkerchiefs tell me they intend adopting the method in future.
Attractive Bows.
A onesided bow is very attractive and it is well suited to the diagonal drapery and fastenings of the new models. Somewhat more pretentious is the "prelate" sash, which consists of single turning over of flat ends, embroidered at the bottom in semi-circular motifs and weighed with fringe. Gay phild ribbons hung from the belt at the left side of the front are used to enliven black frocks which need some touch of newness or color.
Few New Points.
Little taffeta coats are in many cases the chief attraction of the new autumn gowns.
Fringe still continue to be very much used as a trimming and a great quantity is being put on to the new mantle.
Oily and white-striped flannel suits will be very much worn this autumn, as well as the ubiquitous white serge.
A man isn't thought to be getting well till he is getting well off.
THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
IN FAVOR
In passing it may be noticed that these muffs are not difficult to make at home. There is a variety in shape and in finishes, but all are made on the down beds which may be bought at the furriers or the dry goods store.
Muffs are still large although not extremely so. The handsome muff of white marabout shown here is edged with natural ostrich to match the stoll and is of the correct size. Aside from their comfort a muff is one of the most graceful accessories of the toilet.
Many handsome plushes are manfactered and are used in neck pieces and stoles for constant wear. Narrow bands of fur-side plaited satin and small ball trimmings are used to decorate them. Occasionally cheillefringe is employed. A half yard of plush will make a stole and puff. In the material is very wide. The sets are inexpensive, very durable and preferable to cheap furs. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

The first requisite of a winter motoring bonnet is warmth—and a snug fit so that the wind may not creep underneath and rip the ears. This pretty bonnet is made of striped black and white silk and blue velvet. Straps of white leather on the top are caught down under blue buttons and the strings are of blue and white silk.
Kind Words.
They do not cost much.
It does not take up time to say them.
They can accomplish much.
They help one's own good nature.
Kind words make other people good natured.
They shame the hearer out of unkind feelings and make morose and sour spirits- become kind themselves.
Cold words freeze people, hot words scorch them, sarcastic words irritate them, and wrathful words make them wrathful; but kind words produce a picture on the mind, and it is always a beautiful picture.
For Lengthening Frocks
If a small girl's skirt is too short for her a clever way to lengthen it is to cut the skirt above the hem and then insert a puffing of some pretty contrasting material. This may also be carried out around the sleeves and neck of the dress if it is intended to be worn with a guimpe.
Such trimmings will give the frock an altogether new air, and the wee to will feel that she has a "real new dress."
In making puffings for lengthening purpose it is well to remember to allow half an inch extra in width, as the puffing will take up some of the material.
Elaborate Collars
On some of the one-piece frocks made of silk or cotton the lace or embroidered-linen collars are finished out in strange ways, running down under a pindle to form coat tails falling into loose panels or turned up to make hoods.
Comparatively small roll collars are much used, even upon very dressy frocks. When a coat is to render the pollet, a three-piece costume the collar is usually fixed on the corsage and the coat is collariess. When the coat is put on the corsage the collar is turned over on so the coat to make a pretty finish for it.

AMUSEMENTS
Beginning Monday, November 4, at the Alvin theater, Henry W. Savage offers "Ten-Million," the Americanized French force that has created laughter at the Thirty-Ninth Street and the Herald-Square theaters, successfully during 150 performances. It is said that the laughter loving public here have a force that is brimful of the best kind of clean comedy and that it is totally devoid of suggestive lines and situations. Originally the work of M. M. Berr and Gullemand, "The Million" has been re-written for America and put on in a way that pleges the eye and ear of the normal citizen. Nothing offends, everything is arranged to tickle the sensibilities. It is thoroughly farcical in construction and presents a wide variety of funny characters.
The Grand.
It is five years since Mrs. Langtry last appeared in the theaters in this country, but her name and her beauty have always been things with which to conjure, and the lapse of half a decade, during which time a new generation of theatergoers has shoved aside the older ones, has in no way lessened her powers as a drawing card. On the occasion of her previous visit Mrs. Langtry placed a one-act sketch of South African life written by Graham Hill and called "Between the Nighttall and the Light," and she is using now a playlet about the suffragette movement entitled "Helping the Cause." It is a tense and forceful argument in dramatic form albeit there are flashes of brilliant satire, for the phase of the suffrage question with which the famous "Jersey Lily's" dramatist has dealt is the militant one and therefore offers wide scope for the play of humor and sometimes the sharp rapier of ridicule. It is this vehicle that Mrs. Langtry will use when she comes to the Grand for a week's stay of two performances a day, beginning next Monday afternoon, November 4. Moreover, Mr. Davis is surrounding the distinguished headliner with a galaxy of such eminent entertainers as Walter C. Kelley, known everywhere as the delightfully humorous "Virginia Judge."
The Duguesne.
One of the funniest plays that ever saw the footlights, "The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown," is to furnish a festival of mirth and merriment at the Duquesne theater next week. In reviving this celebrated fun play, the Harry Davis Stock players are assuring their host of patrons a welcome treat of uproarous comicality, for this big laughter it has held the boards ever since its original production with Louis Mann in the chief role, as a real rival to "Charley's Aunt" in sheer delightfulness of humor. At the Duquesne next week Dennis Harris, whose eccentric and dialect comedy roles have always been so highly applauded, will portray Louis Mann's memorable role of Herr von Moser, while Mary Hall will be Clara Loveridge: Corliss Giles, Captain Courtney: Hal de Forest. Major O Gallagher, and Loretta Wells, Mrs. O Gallagher.

Take Time for Breakfast
Common sense indicates that breakfast should be a substantial meal, enough time should be allowed to eat the morning meal at leisure and enjoy it. The manner in which some people gobble down their breakfast is becoming only to an ostrich. It is one of the great reasons for the existence of what is sometimes called "American dyspepsia."
Satire on Our College Youth
Sathe on Our College Youth
Three boys from Yale, Princeton
and Harvard were in a room when a
lady entered (says Life). The Yale
boy asked languidly if some fellow
ought not to give a chair to the lady;
the Princeton boy slowly brought
one, and the Harvard boy deliberately
sat down in it.
Awful Danger.
Two little children were playing in the both tub, and the elder thought she saw a sudden danger. "Jump out, Mary!" she cried in great excitement. Jump out this minute. The stopper's come out and you'll run down the type of ice you don't get out quick!"

St. Paul Baptist Church
(By R. G. Woods.)
Sunday school at the usual hour. The lesson was beautifully discussed. The morning service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Thompson. Text from Act 9: 6. "Lord, what will thou have me do?" At 3 p. m. our communion service was conducted by the pastor, text found "Isaiah 63: 1. Who is this that cometh from Eden with dived garments from Bozrah." Wish the public could have heard this wonderful sermon. B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p. m. At the evening service a sacred concert was conducted Brother W. A. Nable. Among the participants was the Mt. Ararat quartet. Sister Sweeney is yet on the sick list. Sister Heart is sick in the Avery hospital.
Mt. Ararat Church
The debate at Mt. Ararat church on the 25th was well attended. Mrs. L. Twyman and Mrs. F. Porter were awarded the prize, score being four points to L. A. Carpenter and L. S. Sankhil points to the same player with a silver cup. The ladies are now waiting for a challenge from any one who cares to try for the cup.
Downingtown, Pa. - The Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school of this town recently opened under the most favorable circumstances in its history. The enrollment of students for the first three weeks was three times more than for a similar period since the beginning of the school. The dormitories are all filled and the faculty has had to refuse admission to scores.
The Lincoln university preparatory class is the largest in the history of the school. The growth of the school has now enabled the management to properly divide the institution into several departments, each having its own principal.
The school is fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. Samuel J. Branch as principal of the department of education. Professor Branch is an expert in his line and brings to the school not only skill and knowledge, but years of experience as a successful teacher.
Miss Bessie Collins is in charge of the domestic science, millinery and dressmaking departments and is well qualified for the position. Miss Collins was formerly supervisor of the industrial work under the management of the Jeanes fund. Downingtown deems itself fortunate in securing her services.
The commercial department is under the direction of Mrs. Eilee Palmer King, who is not only qualified through training and years of experience, but indeed has inherited from her illustrious father, Dr. John M. Palmer, marvelous adaptability in her line. Dr. Palmer is secretary of the trustee board.
The Rev. William King is in charge of the agricultural department and is also principal of the night school. The double work gives him the largest opportunity for the display of agricultural skill and literary pursuit. A number of improvements, have taken place under the expert 'skill of Professor Samuel H. Bythewood, principal of the department of mechanics. Under his management the artesian well has been installed, the new laundry completed, hot and cold water connections have been introduced into the buildings, and a magnificent silo and an eight horse-power portable engine have been installed.
One of the great problems of all mixed schools is to secure the right kind of a woman as matron. Girl students have rejoiced as never before over the management and discipline already brought into being through the new matron. Mrs. Martha E. Bottis. Mrs. Bottis is the wife of Professor J. W. Bottis. She is peculiarly adapted for the position of matron. Mrs. Frances E. Branch, formerly a teacher in the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, Petersburg, Va., is in charge of the literary department. It was with great reluctance that the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute gave up Mrs. Branch.
Miss Estelle Jarrott, Miss Estelle Wills, Mrs. Anna C. Bythewood and the efficient secretary, Miss Bertha C. Burnett, are among the older teachers. President William A. Creditt continues his enthusiastic management of the entire institution and has the entire cooperation of the faculty, board of trustees and friends of the school.
Explanation of Dreams
Dr. Freud says that every dream can be taken to pieces for investigation. The dream is not really continuous. It consists of a series of groups centering about what he terms "knots," and by investigating the association of these dream-knots with one's normal life he will learn that the dream was based on a wish or on wishes, some of which may be so vague that he was hardly aware of them.
Women's Eineness of Touch
Electrical engineers number young women among their workers, and Edition is said to prefer women machines for their fineness of touch. Mrs. Ira Tott of Long Beach, Cal., founded and managed on entire electric plant successfully. Being an expert engineer, she superintended the building of her plant and bought and installed the machinery.
Wise and Simple Rule
If we are ever in doubt what to do,
it is a good rule to ask ourselves
what we shall wish on the morrow
that we had done—John Lubbock.
AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
Memphis, the county seat of Shelby county, Tennessee, founded in 1826 and chartered as a city in 1849, called the Bluff City, 109 miles west of Nashville, is one of the chief commercial cities of the south and one of the most important cotton markets in the United States. The growth of this city, both in population and commerce, has been remarkable. The population has grown from less than 9,000 in 1850, to 131,105 in 1910. There are only five cities in the United States that have larger negro populations than Memphis. The last census shows negro population in six cities as follows: Washington, D.C., 9,444; New York, 9,172; New Orleans, 89,262; Baltimore, 84,749; Philadelphia, 84,599; Memphis, 82,441. There are in Shelby county, however, between 90,000 and 100,000. The new union depot which dost five million dollars, with equal accommodations for both races, the imposing sky-scrapers, the beautifully shaded and paved streets, the costly residences, the 1,000 acres of lovely public parks, the junction of several great railroads, the trolley cars threading the avenues in every direction, the numerous factories, public buildings, costly and spacious churches, add to the charm of this most wonderful southern city, situated on the great "Father of Watera". The spirit of progress is contagious. The colored people of this city have caught the spirit. Many of them have made good. They have been helped and encouraged by their white neighbors. This is very gratifying. As evidence of the material advancement, it is interesting to note that the value of the output of the various manufacturing establishments in Memphis has grown from a little more than one and a half million dollars in 1850 to over thirty million dollars in 1912, an increase of two thousand per cent.
The negro's best friends are found in the south. Here is an instance: In Judge Miller's court room the other day a negro woman was tried on the charge of theft. His employer, a well-known Dallas woman who is prominent in social circles, believed him innocent. The evidence was entirely circumstantial. She saw that the boy had a good lawyer and she appeared as a witness in his behalf. The jury heard her story and promptly acquitted the negro, for the 12 men were fair-minded southerners who believe in giving the negro with a good record the benefit of the doubt. There is no blind prejudice against the black in the south. There is no race problem here, because the south is not careless in its social relations. The negro finds his real haven of refuge in Dixieland where he can always get a job, a square meal and a square deal. He knows the people are not his pretended friends when he tries to do right, and that they will fight for him when he is unjustly treated.—Dallas Times-Herald.
Christian philosophy was designed from the beginning to keep the children of the woman and the sons of the man in their proper relation to one another in the home, the church and the state, so that the human race might be perpetuated, as the races before the Christian era were not. The thoughtful women of the negro race should study this matter. What the race needs are men, and it can't have them if the negro women follow their white sisters out of the home and family making into the world of affairs where they must cease to be women and cannot be men.—New York Age.
The ancient Guild of Spectacle Makers is numerically one of the strongest of London companies. Its charter dates from the year 1629, and though the exact date of its origin is lost, there is ample evidence that the calling of spectacle maker was extensively followed at a very early date. An old book of 1563 mentions the spectacle makers among other traders, and the biography of Carl Zeno, an illustrious Venetian, who died in 1418, mentions that even at the age of eighty-four he needed no artificial aids to his sight. So presumably spectacles were common in Italy five centuries ago.
At Seattle Doctor Crichton has ordered the use of Puget sound sea water to lay the dust and flush the streets. "Salt water is one of the best germicides in the world," says Doctor Crichton. "Sea water contains several grains of chloride of sodium to the gallon, and within a few days the city's streets will become white with sodium chloride and the action of the sun's rays on this will produce chloride gas, one of the very best disinfectants known to science."
The Philadelphia Traction company has been experimenting with women conductors, in order to minimize the trouble it has with men and to reduce the cost of operating expenses. If the experiment succeeds the men conductors will have to go, as the ticket sellers have gone, and the motormen will be in danger of losing their jobs. After a woman has been a trolley car conductor for a month who would have her for a wife. The ages of woman masculinity and rule have always been the death ages of man femininity and rule.
Lieutenant Mortenol, a negro, who is a native of Guadeloupe, has just been promoted captain in the French navy. There are several Chinese officers in the French army, but Captain Mortenol is the first negro to attain high rank in the navy.
Some women are so changeable that they never wear the same complexion twice.
No woman can afford to be a moment late if she expects to be called business-like.
The average Chinaman knows how to keep silent when everybody else is talking. The average negro knows how to talk when everybody else is keeping silent. The two attitudes are not the same. The Chinaman learns a great deal by keeping his mouth shut and the negro forgets a great deal by keeping his mouth open. What a man learns and what a man forgets are not the same. Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, who did so much to make the Chinese Republic possible, and was its provisional president, has been silent for months while the press of the world was trying to make it appear that the Chinese republic was on the verge of disruption because Dr. Sen and President Yuan Shikai was at loggerheads over everything. Dr. Sen now breaks his silence in a Nankin interview to the New York Sun to declare that, personally, his relations with the president are cordial, and that their differences as to public policy and questions are only such as exist between statesmen in all countries who work together for the common welfare. He says: "I believe I can safely say that upon one matter of first importance all the leaders in China are of one mind: The best good of the country. As to how this may be attained is quite another matter, but we are all striving and working for the mortalities and noble end." No one thinks of a civil war in the United States simply because Mr. Taft, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roosevelt do not agree upon matters of public policy. Each of these gentlemen is certainly a true American and a patriot of a very high order. Yet there are—if my knowledge of American affairs is worthy—many great and vital issues upon which they disagree totally. May it not be so in China?—New York Age.
"Negro Year Book"—whoever heard of such a thing? "Annual Encyclopedia of the Negro"—whoever thought of devoting a whole volume of a year book and encyclopedia to any single race of people? Here it is, however, and it comes from Tuskegee. No one claims to have shown originality in thinking of it. It bears the name of Monroe N. Work. "In charge of research and records." Out of these records, at first only of the students and graduates of Tuskegee, and then of the negro population, this first of all race books seems to have grown. Behind a desk of the Chicago Theological seminary 14 years ago a young negro student, Work by name, sat for three years. With plooding persistence he studied and struggled his way through to graduation. Ever loyal to his race, he eagerly learned all he could from them and the whites how to help them help themselves. He began at the beginning in looking about him here in Chicago, to find out what the actual conditions of his people were. In the mouth he continued to look for facts on which to base the means and plans which Tuskegee and other schools for life and work were devising and carrying out. And now from his card catalogue of "case records" and race facts comes this new and valuable attempt to register the progress of a race in this "Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia." Although it is but a beginning, it is credible enough to him and his people to mark an epoch in their history.—Tuskegee Student.
A a shy man will imitate the tactics of his older brother and wonder if that fellow meets with the same coolness.
Five hundred Cuban negroes captured in the late uprising in the province of Oriente have been rounded up in the jails of Havana for safe keeping, as the other jails are already overcrowded. The Latin people like to play at revolution, and those who succeed fare sumptuously for a season, while those who fall, if captured, are very sure of having their heads cut off. If the Latin-American people should spend one-half the time in building up their governments that they do in striving to tear them down they would be a great and progressive people. For example, Mexico has lost in the past twelve months of internecine war what she had gained in thirty years at domestic peace. President Blaz ruled with a strong hand for a long period of years, but under him Mexico was prosperous at home and had abundant credit abroad.
If America's annual candy supply were loaded on one train there would be over 8,000 trucks full of boxes, buckets and glass jars. This load of sweetmeats for the sweet tooth of the American girl costs the consumers about $125,000,000 every year.
The woman's work is essentially in the home. The home is the foundation upon which the Christian church and state are builted. Destroy the Christian home by unsexing woman in her work and manners as wife and mother and daughter, and the underworld, the wolves and swine of the social order will rise up and sweep the Christian church and state from the map of the world. What then? The answer is to be found in the death of Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Greece and Rome before the Christian era.
Soilom thought he was de wisest man, but duy is folks in de worl'today who think duy could give him points in de wisdom game, an den beat him at it.
With hearts as trumps any old gay deceiver can play a never-ending game.
Nobody thinks much of the widely advertised self-made man.
Folly is what the other guys give themselves up to.
