TOPEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME X. Are They the Result of False-Education? William Lee Howard Graphically Pictures the Cause. "Now read a portion of a letter I have just received. I could hand over to you hundreds of the same nature Eighty per cent. of the perverts that come under my personal observation would have been normal men had they had a father's supervision—that is, a father who understood what it meant to have a certain class of adolescents away from virile surroundings. LETTER OF A HOP_LESS MAN. "The man who wrote this letter is twenty-six years of age: "Is there no possible way of shedding this weakness, this miserable weakness, so that one will be able to act with naturalness and self-possession in the presence of others, no matter where or when? Is there no way by which I can meet people and converse with them in an easy and natural way without stuttering and puttering about in aimless confusion, causing me at times to break out in a cold sweat and make for the tall grass where no one is about to watch me? I can't even walk down street in an easy, natural mind-off-of-myself manner. Not even in my home town. I know all the people here, and am quite positive, too, that they will not bite or shy a brick at me from any tree. I have such a horrid habit of depreciation. I have tried to reason some of these thirsts out of my system, but it is a tough proposition. To cap the climax, I guess I have about as much confidence in myself as a lion tamer has in a bad lion. Anything like real responsibility is liable to cause a panic and stampede of what ability I might possess in the action it called for. "I always had women for teachers when I was a boy. Later on the same condition existed when I went to the high school. I was naturally timid, and saw nothing of the life I needed; of the rough schooling I should have had. You know what the male teachers in the high schools are. Those who have not been feminized get away as soon as possible; a boy only gets a parrot-like lot of stuff out of them; HE NEVER COMES UNDER VIR. ILE INFLUENCES. "I never had a licking, and the old maid who was my principal teacher held me up as a model boy If there is anything that appeals to me, it is a good, vigorous type of man. 'The fearless type of real man. And just think of it' I might have been one if my father had looked after my education and environment; I should have been sent to a school where only men and boys were seen. Now I am a failure. I was taught nothing at school of use to me, but did fall into habits and a mental condition that keep me from obeying any decent position. I have worked about three years in a dry-goods store where I deal mostly with women, which, I am afraid, has been a bad thing for me in many ways. In the first place, I do not like the store at all, and never did, but it was the only thing I could get to do after getting my high school 'education.' Appently the only training I received was one fitting me to wait upon the opposite sex. This has been harmful to me; I now realize that my disposition and temperment were not considered when I was a boy—otherwise I would have been made a useful MAN. I find myself some what ill at ease when in a crowd of men,—not being able to act TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 27, 1908. and speak entirely naturally. The same old story—FEAK of people: fear of what they say or think of or anything I might have to say or tell. Concentrated hell on earth for a fellow—hampers his ability, causes a lack of confidence in himself and what not. "The fault with the public high school is that it was established with the idea that every boy was born mentally equal to his schoolmate that every boy's brain, potentially, was capable of any development under a universal curriculum. It was the impression held by the pedagogue that ever, boy was made from the same germinal stuff; that all brain cells were capable of the same amount of development, hence a common mould could be used for any and all Heredity, nationality, environment, parental influence, mental strength, and physical vigor were supposedly equal in all. These are such gross errors that until they are frankly admitted and corrected we had better close the mixed high schools, for they are unfitting thousands of boys to earn a happy living. In such faulty education the psychiatrist sees the foundation source for many neurotic troubles and degeneracy...conditions tabooed by the female teacher whose knowledge of boys and their physiologic growth, and the power of suggestion during adolescence, is purely superficial and scholastic. "Different classes of flowers have their growth and cultivation carefully watched and pruned, according to their respective requirements. In the development of fruit trees and domestic animals we differentiate in their training. But consider how the average boy has been treated, how little his individual requirements and tastes have been studied and cultivated Now let me put it up to your own line of work, and you will plainly see what an injustice has been done to the American boy who has had to depend upon the high schools to get a start in life. "You are a horse dealer. You receive a shipment of horses young horses to be trained and schooled. You look them over carefully, and try them out in the ring. You pick out the horse which shows by his build and action that he is fitted for the park or hunting field. Another you put aside as a prospective draft horse, another as a general utility horse, and so on. Each of these horses needs special training along the line of work he was born to follow, and each is turned over to an instructor proficient in his specialty. Moreover, the men are kept separate. Men seem to use common sense in everything except in educating his own children—that is, civilized man. Especially in this so in New England, where the parents are prudery debauchees, and where Truth has not been allowed to speak in her own voice and words. To return to our horses. What would have been the result if car horse, farm-horse, racer, hunter, and circus actor had all been placed in one ring and under one set of training rules? Ruin of all the good qualification and natural attributes in each horse. Of course; and we should have had our markets filled with useless animals-,horse no man wanted. "The boy is a young animal a colt. Give him training along the lines he was born to follow, look into his pedigree, and you will get a contented man, a useful citizen. Many a boy who would have been a steady worker in the shaft of a cabinet shop has been goaded to balk and mulk through the nagging of a woman teacher who constantly blamed him for not trotting the same speed as a carefully groomed and born trotter. "The question. 'Why Do Boys Leave the High School?' is frequently seen in educational journals. The answer is plain to a man of the world: Because the boys realize that something is wrong: because no real boy is going to sit quietly and be told every day that his girl classmates are going ahead of him in his or in reality, their-studies. "Of course they are. A young woman at seventeen is a very different proposition from a boy of the same age. The boy knows he is not being adjusted to fit some where in life: knows that all his teacher cares about him is his showing in the reports. He must come up to a certain standard in all subjects, no matter how unfit he is mentally and tempermentally to master some of them. In other subjects he knows he could excel, but his inclinations mean nothing to his automatic teacher. It does to the boy. He realizes that unless he is adjusted to his capabilities he will be a failure in life. He can never pass that examination in Roman history, French or drawing: he knows it: also feels that for him it is a waste of time to fool any more. So he leaves the high school, and is probably told by his father that as long as he would not stay in school he can hustle for himself. Then is thrown upon the land another untrained boy: a disheartened youth who, as a man, is to be a failure. Boys need the understanding of a male to get at their adolescent ideas and thoughts; a virile intellect to control morbid fancies, to stimulate the little ambitions which, at this period, may be fanned into a strong, enduring flame, or snuffed out forever. A day's romp and swim with a boy who is considered beyond control by his young woman teacher will show him to be a clean, ambitious youngster who will make good when he is adjusted to his capabilities and environed by men and ideas in concord with his temperament and brain development I know a young woman of twenty four years of age who takes a position this year as teacher in a public school. Her knowledge of boys of adolescent outbursts is absolutely nil. Her mother is one of those injurious Presbyterians who deny their daughters the right to understand the biological and physiologic laws of life and their direct effect upon the physical and moral growth of every living thing. Consequently, this girl's assumed knowledge of men and things is twisted information, and her fancies morbid and curious—all the misinformation she received from classmates at the normal school. Think of sending a youth to be under the misconstructive control of such a person! "Women teachers do not appeal to boys' spirits. A boy who prefers to talk with his woman teacher rather than fight grown up to be one of those disgusting individuals all men despise—yes, and all true women. Unconceitously, the female trains such a lad along her own psychic lines, and such training is bound to be injurious to the abiding man. The want of understanding on the part of the woman teacher naturally causes the boy to rebel; if this male instinct is not aroused he falls into ways of feminine thinking and will devolve into a uncleer man. In the former case the boy remains indifferent to his leisure, and a barrier is raised for all sympathetic relations between pupil and teacher. She is nothing but 'an old girl' in his estimation, and this is the end of any training for earning a living he can get from that school. - Every boy should be taken from feminine influence at fourteen years of age. We need to adopt some of the ideas and customs of the aborigines. Boys, real boys, are little savages, and they need initiation into life through virile surroundings. These facts are being recognized, and boys are being sent to boys' schools, where teacher and scholar can come together in bruising football matches—where boys can put on the gloves with their teacher, or go swimming with their instructor, and go naked, as they should. In these boys' schools the pupils can get their daily shower baths, run about with little if any clothes upon them, and yell and whoop with all the savage enthuiasm belonging to their natures. "But, you say, such schools are for the rich; it is for the sons of the masses that the high schools must be kept up. "True but the same conditions can be brought about in the public schools "First, get this clearly in your mind: no matter what the cost, the sexes must be kept separated. Not mere separation in the buildings, separate entrances and class rooms, but segregation, school buildings far apart from each other. Baltimore has a common sense plan. The boys high school is near the center of the city male teachers while the girls high schools are distributed in three or four sections of the city. "The women teachers in the mixed high schools attempt to give their disinterested scholars academic fancies regarding the physiologic effects of a glass of beer, meanwhile oblivious to the adolescent's silent appeals for some true statement concerning the laws of nature. We need a new code of ethics of the sexes. A science of sex is necessary to a proper understanding of Christian sexual ethics. We can mature a perfect ethics of the sexes amid moral ignorance, but not amid physiologic ignorance. "How often have I told you that the other word is indecent? Now, you stay in until you learn to remember what I say." I heard a female teacher say to NUMBER 48 a sixteen year old lad who stood in a class of young women: Jones, you should be whipped for coming before ladies with your shirt torn like that. Go home at once, and don't come back until you are properly dressed. The idea! "We must have schools where boys are taught that a blacksmith is a far better citizen than the political clerk who has a high school diploma, but is dependent upon the ward boss or saloon proprietor for his sporadic jobs. Many of the high schools will have to throw out of the windows Latin and Greek text books, their French grammars and ancient histories, English history and poetry but not the English language or the way to speak and write it. Last spring I watched, in a small Massachusetts town, the parading of about three hundred boys from an industrial reformatory These boys were the offcastings of the streets of Boston. They marched behind their own boys' band. Every lad in that little regiment was being trained along some line of industry which would make him an independent youth when released from school. Carpenters, handworkers in iron, masons, gardeners, musicians...some form of craftsmanship was their gift from the state. "Watching this parade of youthful craftsmen were a large number of boys who attended the high school. Most of them I knew would have to earn a living; many were then a burden to their parents. Some lived four miles from the schools, yet no solicitus was the state that they all should receive an 'education' that every school day a bus, and in some cases a carriage, was sent to transport these young people to school. "At these schools not one of them was getting a course of instruction which would enable them to compete for a living wage with the reform' boys. In these not something ludicrous in sending a carriage every school day in the year for a boy of sixteen who has not an ounce of scholarship in his mental makeup, and not an extra dollar in his or his parents' pockets, and then pay a girl teacher to cram some of the humanities in to him? True, he may get an hour or so of manual training, but it is not enough to give an understanding of the dignity of labor or the necessity of training the eyes and hands. In fact the slight attention given to this art is conducive to the impression that it is subordination to a knowledge of history and Latin; and this idea leads to failure. To abolite unlearning. Fancy interesting the average boy of sixteen. a full blooded rancial in the style of the King, or the son of a junkman in Launcelot! What an injury is done to the boy whose hands should be trained to turn out a useful machine or a piece of decorative furniture, when we compel him to learn...which he never does...the chronology of the English kings or class room bo any understood by the woman teacher and her girl scholars! Such a method produces a false idea of culture and totally unifies the youth for such work as he could successfully carry out. With the text books must go [CONTINUED ON THE PAGE] Baughman Bros.

Lodges will take warning that in the future when lodges use their funds otherwise than provided by law they will be severely dealt with. We need five hundred (500) members this term and not less than one-half dozen lodges. Therefore a general dispensation to all lodges in the Jurisdiction is hereby granted for sixty (60) days for the reception of new members. Apply to your deputy for rates or direct to me. Lodges are expected to take advantage of this dispensation for the increase of their membership. Lodges should send all matters which arise in the lodge for settlement to the deputy and not to the Grand Chancellor. Officers occupying stations requiring bonds must furnish same within thirty (30) days or their office will be declared vacant and others appointed to fill them. I shall expect each officer and member of the Order to do his duty, no matter what his station may be. We must have good, efficient work during this year. Lodges must pay more attention to the ritualistic work, as they will be held responsible for the proper conferring of the Ranks. Officers must memorize the ritual, and incompetence in this respect will be sufficient cause for removal. Defect or lack of paraphernalia should be reported to the deputy at once. I earnestly desire that every lodge carry its officers' card in our official organ, The Topeka Plaindealer, give the nights of meeting and postoffice address of your Chancellor Commander and Keeper of Records and Seal. I ask and shall expect the loyal support of every Knight to give their aid and assistance in promoting the welfare of this organization to the end that the next session may show increased progress and prosperity and success for Pythianism. Thus done and signed at Wichit., Kansas, this 8th day of September, A. D. 1908, and of the Pythian Period XLI JNO. E. LEWIS, Grand Chancellor. Attest: W. W. PLUMB.

He seems to have reversed His decisions with reference to Berea College, so we presume that he will reverse everything else that tends to elevate the Negro. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a statement of the People's Bank and Trust Co., Muskogee, Okla. This is one of the most successful colored banking houses in this country and its officers are to be congratulated upon their success. The state guarantees their deposits which makes the money absolutely safe for depositors. The people of Oklahoma, Kansas and the whole country are proud of this great institution. Mr. W. T. Escoe, Pres. J. B, McCulloch, vice Pres., J. E. Johnson, cashier, J. R. Escoe, asst. cashier, are the officers of this bank. All of these gentlemen are quite wealthy, owning some of the best property in Muskogee and the state of Oklahoma. There is lots of room in this country for our people to do banking business if they only knew how and we are ashamed to say that several large cities in the United States with a large Negro population have no banks operated by our people and we especially speak of Washington, D. C., where all of the wise fellows are supposed to live. BISHOP GRANT IN TOPEKA The Rt Rev. Bishop Abram Grant was in Topeka last week. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, he preached for Rev. Edwards of Saint John A. M. E. church and in the afternoon, addressed the Y. M. C. A. A large audience witnessed the morning service and enjoyed the words of wisdom that fell from the hips of the venerable Bishop who has few equals as a minister and worker for Christianity and the A. M. E. church. His subject with reference to Hager who was traveling from home and became despondent and gave up a little before she reached that which she needed for sustenance of herself and child, was very interesting. This he said was the case of many people of our race who take up different professions of business, but get tired and give up just at the time when they ought to succeed. From a Christian, racial and business point of view, this subject was only handled and those present were inward to go forward to the goal. Dr Edwards seems to have taken a new deal and will be given a greater sunt John with a new few days. P. J. Rulley and Dr. Jackson, leading spirits of this body procured the services of the Bishop for Sunday afternoon and they feel especially proud of their work. Over 75 members of the Association were present and were greatly benefited by the wholesome words of this able divine. The Bishop advised the young men to be honest and industrious, quit spending their time in idle things such as card playing and dancing and other needless things that go to degrade the face. The young men enjoyed thealk and practically agreed that they would stop and follow his advice. Bishop Grant stated further that lots of these innocent amusements lead men on to do things they would not otherwise and also that they create idleness. In the evening he left for his home. The people of Topeks are always glad to have Bishop Grant with them and we would not be surprised to hear of his buying a home in the capitol city and locat ing here permanently. At any time this distinguished gentleman might choose to do so, Topeka stands with extended hands of welcome to him and his excellent family. Come again Bishop Helpless Youths & Youthless Men [CONTINUED FROM 1ST PAGE] the women teachers. I repeat this because physicians who are alive to certain conditions are unanimous in this matter. We have been silent too long, but it has been due to that 'most immodest modern modesty' which has prevented explanations and reasons getting a public hearing. "In the place of books must be put forges, carpenters' benches, draughting instruments, simple and practical laboratories, and a man's gymnasium and swimming pool. "In place of the female teacher of literature and history must be virile male teachers; men who are all men; men who have been boys and can still be boys: men without false sentiment in their makeup: practical men of the world who will instill ambition and impress the youth with the fact that a good trade is a far more honorable possession than a mushy mass of material which the man can never digest or put to practical use. "It will, of course, be said that all the high schools have male teachers. But these teachers seldom, if ever, have anything of a personal social relation with the boys. They are book instructors purely, the last thing a boy needs in his development. "From the condition of things it is difficult to get the proper sort of male teachers in a high school at ended by young women and a few unfortunate boys. The young male teacher whose surroundings are marked by female boundaries soon finds himself in embaarassing fields. He cannot possibly talk to the boys as he would like to do. A man under such circumstances becomes disgusted and looks for his proper place--among boys whose mental attitude and physical desires he can appreciate and mingle with. It is for these reasons that the high school seldom has a male teacher that makes any impression upon the real boy. 'Ah, good he is an old sister,' I heard one boy remark a short time ago when questioning some talks about their male teacher The story of musits, of unleavers from a sort of development of the inherent productive powers, is repeated to me hundreds of times a year. I have seen much pittable wrecks, mental and physical, the results of fine instruction and magnified talents, that I ask all father to stop a moment, shut down the desk or get leave of absence from the ship for a while, and look into your boy's mind; find out what he can do, what he is capable of doing, then send him to be trained along that line, and send God's blessing with him DR THADDUES P.

It looks bad, reflects on your standing makes people think you can't afford a tenographer, and is sometimes ambiguous. For you can easily learn with a little practice, to write just as rapidly, and as directly, as an expert operator on the OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the simplified typewriter. And you can see every word you write. About 80 per cent more durable than any other type writer, because it has about 80 per cent wearing points than most other type writers. Eighty per cent easier to write with han these other complicated, intricate achines that require "humorling"—technical knowledge—long practice and special skill to operate. Than machines which can not be adusted to any special space—with which it is impossible to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd-sized documents except you buy expensive special attach nents requiring experts to operate. You can adjust the OLIVER to any seasonable space—you can write on any seasonable size and thickness of paper, right out to the very edge, without the !l of any expensive attachment or special skill, and your work will be neat up For the OLIVER is the typewriter for the doctor, the lawyer, the insurance agent, the merchant, the hotel proprietor—or any man who does his own writing.

The Arcanum of the Knights of Tabor met at its home last Sunday. A grand session was held and the members were pleased at the surroundings of the new home and to note what the Chief Monitor and wife are doing eqward making it pleasant for visitors. M At the twenty-third Annual Communication of the P. H. G. L. of Kansas a resolution prevailed authorizing the purchase and maintainance of a Masonic Home for Indigent Master Masons, their Widows and Orphans. Each member of the Jurisdiction was taxed $1.00 for this fund. I would, therefore, suggest that 45 cents be collected from each member for the months of January, February, March and April. (Farmerly known as Organized On Marrow) Fifty years of success has proved its merits. The use of Ford a Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly-hair straight, soft and glossy and easy to comb, and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length. Removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless- used with splendid remite even on the youngest children. This fund must be collected. There is, of course, no objection to the members paying the entire amount. This suggestion is simply made to impress the importance of having money on hand by the next session of the Grand Lodge. The Secretaries of the Subordinate Lodges should forward to the Grand Secretary at once a list of the individuals named as beneficiaries on the endowment roll as per a resolution adopted at our last Grand Session held at Topeka, Kansas. Delicately perfumed, its use is a pleasure, as ladies of refinement everywhere declare. Ford's Hair Pomade has imitators. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good." If you want the best results, buy the best Pomade—it will pay ou Look for this name Brother Frank Jennings, our Secretary of the W. and O. fund, will forward blanks at once to the raricus secretaries. These should be filled out and addressed, with amount due, to Frank Jennings, 34 Franklin Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas.

D., presiding bishop of the fifth episcopal district of the A. M. E. church honored our city and church with a visit on last Saturday and Sunday. A large and representative audience greeted the bishop at the Metropolitan hall at 11 a.m. on the Sabbath. The bishop gave an excellent sermon, full of practical and helpful advice bearing upon the church life and work as well as upon individual life and character. The sermon was well received and will produce a fruitful harvest At 3 p.m. the bishop delivered a forceful and effective address to the Y. M. C. A. Many men listened attentively during the delivery of the bishop's address, and nine men asked for prayer, making the promise to begin the better life at once. St. John has been visited the past week by tho angel of death, who called away Brothers H. Fuel of Lawrence, John L. Buckner and Sampson Peters. Brother Fuel had passed his sixty eighth birth day but was a constant and faithful attendant upon all the services of the church and Sunday school until his afflictions compelled him a few months ago to retire to his home in Lawrence where he waited the final call of his Heavenly Father. Brother John Buckner was above seventy-two and had spent many years in Christian service and as a writer is highly spoken of. Honorable and manly character has long stood as an example for all who wish to attain unto the best in mortal form. He answered the last roll call on the morning of the 20th. Brother Sampson Peters had been blessed with a long life of Christian service. He had crossed the eighty-third mile stone and had spent sixty-four of them in church membership and work. He will be remembered by all as an example of faithfulness. He left for the beautiful country on Friday morning in full triumph of faith, The sewing circle met with Mrs E. F. Parks on Wednesday of last week. A very pleasant visit to the country was enjoyed by more than forty persons. It was good to be there Mrs. W. W.
