The Truth About the School at Taft and its Superintendent
The school at Taft is an institution for the blind, deaf, dumb, and orphan Negro children of Oklahoma. The State has been very generous in its appropriations for the upkeep of this institution. Taft is a colored town and is surrounded by rich soil and various mineral resources. One will find at Taft the spirit of racial independence and initiative. The people are very thrifty and consider themselves fortunate in having this great institution located in their little city. They all have a community interest, most particularly as to this school.
When there is work to be had at the school, the people at Taft are given first consideration; if there is no one to do the mechanical work, then the contract is given to the people in Musica. All things considered, this is one of the best schools in the Southwest of its kind; it has the highest rating of self-respect or any institution in the state. This honor comes from mentions and executive skill. Those of us who know the history of this school can evidence the progress it has made in the last eight years. I am superintendent, Mr. D. P. Johnson is handling every effort to make the lives of the unfortunate, who are placed under his care, comfortable and constitutive. Many of the inmates who
didn't learn on life on account of physical defects are made to view life from a different angle. Each inmate is not only given a literary training but is taught a useful trade also. There are those who look upon this school as a bonus for political services and their pretended loyalty to the democratic party. With this elevent
Pict. B. C. Foster, Misses Martin and Olivia Porter, teachers of Oswego, attended the song service at St Paul Chapel Faster Sunday.
Mrs. Helen Bailey, Misses Hester Porter, Sarah Burns Morris, Vernon Parks and Clyde Minnifield of Oswego, attended the Sing service at St Paul Chapel. Mr. Minnifield favored the congregation with a very pleasing solo.
the question of efficiency has never entered as a factory; each quadrennial or gubernatorial election there springs up a crop of aspirants for the position of superintendent of the school. In most cases men who have failed in other occasions feel they should be given this position; most of the applicants have none of the attributes of a school man. Their temperament, adaptability, and efficiency should precede them from receiving the remotest consideration. The cause of abnormal condition may be based upon the fact that many of the defeated applicants covering the space of eight years, have put on a campaign of slender, misrepresentation and nasty gossip.
But the coming of the present Governor has given force, confidence, and assurance to those who have produced an load of the various state institutions. He has no desire to prostitute the sanity of the home to pay off political ward heeders, to whom he has made no promise.
The Negroes of the state are to highly the Governor's attitude in the respect. Loyalty to a friend is a principal, but devotion and protection of the unfortunate children of the state is a virtue, to be adduced.
Just why professional men by other walks of life feel that they shouldn't at the head of this institution. I can at times. The almost touch in their minds seem to be a desire to shake a downing thirst for more. The only reason they can produce in their apparent activity in the last campaign. The school at Taft in particular means too much to the Negro race for it to be the quadrennial foot ball of designing politicians who seek to fall their coffers at the expense of the poor and unfortunate children of the state.
WHAT I SAW AT THE SCHOOL
On Tuesday April 2nd, 1923, I made a
pact to the school to satisfy myself as
to the real conditions. No one had her
a'ded my comming. Like I pass" I just
sprung up" I made up my mind to be

ial before left my office I know the

was a "student Achilles" I set out to find it. The major part of my life having been spent in the school room, I knew I was competent to judge, I had determined that no amount of congeniality and artificial politeness could swerve my course. I had my questionnaires already prepared. I was of a quarrelous temperament. I, like some others had allowed myself to become leary from common gossip.
The first buildingentered was the department for invariable girls. The teacher, Miss Terry, a graduate from Institute Institute, and Poston Technician of Art, directed me through this building and the dairy.
I found everything in the building in the shape, lents of food for the girls, a matriarchy contentment seem to attain with the girls. There are in this courtyard 3 girls who were preparing for the close of the school. The life of a modern structure, with all the modern parapets, belonging there; plenty of milk and butter from two high roads crosses. I met Mr. Pengus, one of the leading shortfill farmers of the age. He directed me about the farm and gardens. I saw portraits that had been preserved for a year without a loss.
Now this large productive farm, cattle, hogs, chicken, turkeys, and most wonderful garden produce more than enough for the two hundred children in this school. The fried buns, store cases with thousands of pounds of some mixed meat, binds with all sorts of fock stuffs thrown, sticks us a minute refraction of the salacious report that the children are not being fed enough.
RESULT IS BEING HAD
This school has fourteen builders, eight teachers, 13 head of stocks, 12 head of cows, drones of hogs and chicks, 20 children, eight in the department of the kind, eight in the department of the craft, and 10 in the libels, 20 acres of soil.
The first signature appropriate for the school ... $4277300
For teachers and students ... 245000
For new buildings ... 200000
Furniture ... 150000
Campus and Roads ... 200000
Since the county of Mr Johnson, the school has put on much new life. The public should be more appainted with the great pool that is being accommodated at this school. I am sure if those who are admitted to be seers in their life will revise their opinion should they make a visit to this institution it must be said in fairness to Prof. Johnson that it is who to put in the deep apitation for the school. There are a few where the applicants are favorably consulted but still unsure in getting approvals for their schools.

NURSE TRAINING
The Nurse Training school, a document to the colored women of Kansas. The colored women of this state have worked with Principal G. R. Bridgeforth for five years to see their dreams realized. The regular three year course already organized and new equipment is being sent in each month by friends. The nurses who are being will be the agents by which the death rates among the people will be reduced.
No question about this matter; the people of this state must rally to this institution. I fear there is not enough proper sympathy for those who are making untold sacrifice for the good of the unfortunate child of this country. Now as to the incoercible girls there can be found no better place. They are given better care than most homes are possibly able to give. They are well felt, clothing, kept clean and taught the lesson of right living. The enemies have not taken care to make the proper investigation of this school. They have rested the case on prejudice and hearty.
If Mr. Johnson displays a peculiarity it is because he has not been given the full measure of consideration he deserves. There has been an element that has pursued this man with so much fury and satanic intent that he has in sinistrically become "gum why." He has not been in many instances able to unhush his real staff for fear of treachery and duplicity. Much of the good work that a being done is "finished" and swallowed up in a pitiful wave of humiliation and a studious campaign of slender by certain defeated aspirants.
For the good of those who are unfortunate, there must be made clear to the Negroes of this state, the murgeous success that this man is accomplishing for the race at this place.
Y. M. C. A DRIVE BEGINS TUESDAY
Beginning Tuesday, April 17th, the Kansas Avenue Branch, Y, M, C, A, will conduct its annual eight-day drive for funds with which to carry on for the coming year. The goal is $4,000,000.

MY TRIP TO HOLY LAND By Mrs. Lella Walker Wilson
No matter in which manner approach to Palestine is made, one somehow feels that he has begun a sojourn among the most Holy of Holies, and not because of the absence of company, for there are many fellow pilgrims on the boats and... trains that touch points in the Holy Land. There are merchants and traders, from the four points of the compass and all hundreds of others moving about with apparently no thought of the sacred land in which they move. Their lack of appreciation of the unequalled wonders of their native land is common, just as America's wonders are often passed unnoticed by us.
Upon arriving, one is impressed with the politeness of the customer's officials whose virtues, by the way, do not include immunity from grafting and petty theftery. A coin placed into the examining officer's hands is known to be the trick that facilitates an easy and hasty entrance to the land Where Christ Lived. Once in, you are known to all who chance to see you as a person of untold wealth. Foreigners, in spite of the thousands who visit there annually, are notices and the natives seek to obtain a consurer from any ore they see.
Journalism, the first point of interest I visited in Palestine, and the largest and the largest and most important city, is situated on four hills, 2,500 feet above the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded on three sides by ravines, the fourth side joining one of the hills with the main range of mountains of the country. It is truly the Golden City, as gallion One may be seen by the countless golden dunes, spires and minarets of a thousand and more churches, mosques and churches glittering and dazzling in the sunlight and the houses of white stone and rough marble illuminated against the azure sky representing the residences and business shops of 10,000 slums and Christians, scores of ill paved, crooked, narrow streets mark the paths through the city and lend their lot to the enrichment of the holy land.

PACTS WORTH KNOWING
The Step Beyond
Just a step beyond the barriers which have so long defied us, and we are sure of our ground, certain of realizing our fondest hopes, and marching on and on with the victors.
If incomes to become dishartened when carefully worked out plans and calculations fail immediately to produce anticipated results. The fatal fault with most of us is lack of patience, coupled with an inclination to be governed by impulse
Moorish Women's Dull Lives
The Moorish woman's life is never very exciting or varied, and her many domestic duties tie her to the home. It is only on very special occasions that she is permitted to go out; many never go out at all. The lower class women are sometimes forced to attend the markets, and are not so particular about evering their faces as the rules of the religion ordain. No strictly religious woman, however, will allow any man but her husband to see her face.
Some of the women are accomplished musicians, dancers and sing to the accompaniment of their wild native instruments. This is in most cases their only form of amusement. Some of them are also experts at wearing and making tapestry.
Moorish women are seen at their bed in the country districts, where one sees them going to a well for water with their earthenware pitcheres gracefully poised on their heads or shoulders.

True Wisdom
Wisdom consisteth not in knowing mony things, nor even in knowing them thoroughly, but in choosing and in following what conduces the most certainly to our lasting happiness and true glory.
By Douglas Malloch
Life isn't all in big amounts,
Or greatness in title:
It isn't what we do that counts
How well we do is vital.
The little tasks and little things
What in time will tell?
Not what we do the glory brings,
But if we do it well.
The lowest brick in any wall
Is still the brick that made it;
The stifice will stand or fall
How we'll or poor we laid it.
And this dignity divine
Of all we are or do;
Your work requires the best of mine,
Mine needs the light of you.
We work together, you with me,
What's our build or fashion;
Our pride should be our honesty,
And quality our passion.
The little tasks and the little things
Are what in time will tell—
Not what we do the glory brings,
But if we do it well.
THE KITCHEN CABINET
Can you hear the balmy breeze
from the Southland's sunny places,
Sokly eighing, friendly crying.
To the buds that love them so?
Come out fettlett, for we miss you.
We have waited long to kiss you,
Lets your faces to the sunshine
And forget the winter's snow.
More About Onons
Onions, shallots, leeks, chive, and garlic all belong to the same family and are principally used to add flavor to foods.
Onions are rich in food value, soothing to the nervous system and healing to the inflamed mucous membranes. An onion poultice for a short cold is invaluable. Leeks are used as onions cooked as vegetables; the shallot is more often used as flavoring for salad and soups, as is the chive.
Those who value the onion will often not tolerate garlic, though it is one of the choiceest of favoring vegetables used with limpunity. The dark eyed brothers of the south eat garlic as we do fresh vegetables and with little regard for the comfort of a neighbor. Of all the odorous vegetables the garlic, eaten uncooked, leaves the most odious breath. It should be used as a mere suggestion of flavor, and when so used is perfectly delightful. A clove of cut garlic, cut side rubbed inside the salad rather than reason at the turning moment when everything is dependent on calmness and firmness of purpose.
We incline to hastie when we should go slowly and take accurate account of our energy, where we should conserve it, that our minds may not be filled with fear and finally overcome with sickening apprehension.
In business, as in love, mos tof our miserable failures result from our refusal to consider seriously the step beyond.
For some paltry reason, a whim of the fancy, or a laxity of inactivity, we find ourselves at the crucial moment worry of the chase.
So we sit in the inviting shade of a friendly nook, while our more ambitious rivals steal a march upon us and capture the prize, only a step beyond our impatient reach.
The blame is our own. But the truth never penetrates our souls' until the clear perspective of years gives us a sharper vision to see our folly.
It is not until then that we fully understand our shortcomings.
To make amends for our deficiencies we proceed to pass around advice to our intimates, which, as a rule, falls on barren ground. They know us!
There is but a step between success and failure, likewise but a step between hope and despair. When the occasion comes for action very few of us, alas, know how to make the step, though it is inviting and lins an air of simplicity.
And yet there is probably no other movement more vitally important to man's future success than the step just beyond.
howl will give just the desired flavor to the salad.
. Onion Soup.—Have ready one cupful of onion pulp which has been cooked and put through a slave. Put into a same pan one tablespoonful of butter, stir until smooth and thick. Add three cupfuls of added milk, the onion pulp seasoning of salt and pepper, let it boil up and serve piping hot.
Glazed Onions—Peel silver-skinned onions of small, uniform size and cook in boiling salted water for fifteen minutes. Drain and dry well on a cheese cloth. Put into buttered baking dish, add highly seasoned brown stock to cover the bottom of the dish, sprinkle with sugar and bake until soft, hastening often with the stock in the pan. Onion Sandwiches—Like a mild onion or a Bermuda onion in very thin slices, sprinkle with highly seasoned French dressing, place between slices of bread and serve with a glass of hot

I have loved my country in the intimate depths of her divine beauty, but above all things I have loved the human race and the triumph of ideals that can be won only by conflict.—Gertrude Slaughter.
TABLE DECORATIONS
It is a bad plan that admits of no modifications.—Publius Syrius
It has been said that decorative flowers are even more important in the arrangement of the dinner table than the knives and forks and true it is that the wise hostess takes as much thought in arranging her centerpiece as in seeing that the silver is freely polished and properly arranged.
A fat pocket book is the only thing needed to make a tasteful floral arrangement on the dinner table. In fact one need have very little money to spend in order to make an attractive and tasteful arrangement. An over-claustrate arrangement is no longer in good taste. Towering floral structures that really look like nothing so much as "set place" that florists prepare for less joyous occasions are really quite bad, and the careful hostess does not leave

the matter to the florist, but makes sure that something very simple in arrangement is selected. Except for a children's party or a dinner that is given in a spirit of extreme informality, paper decorations are not in good taste either. A cluster of roses or any other hothouse or garden flowers attractively arranged in a glass or silver vase is a very charming selection. The addition of forms or similar adds to the effectiveness. The vase may be placed on either on a bit of embroidered or lace trimmed linen or on a mirror that reflects the flowers and candles so as to ad to the general effectiveness of the arrangement.
A short time ago the shops offered for sale rather splendid looking centerpieces devies that combined a vase placed at the center of a silver standard and a little bonbon or salted peanut baskets that were hung up on the silver brackets that came out from the standard on all sides. This was rather a clever arrangement, but it was not in the best taste, for now a days we do not use food as a part of the center decoration, as was the custom when wonderful centerpieces were made of spun sugar and pastry. The only exception to the rule is in the flavor of choice fruits, occasionally combined with the flowers.

WHAT OUR WHITE NEIGHBORS
DON'T KNOW-ABOUT US
The Atlanta Independent has inaugurated a campaign of education for the white people's of Georgia. In a lengthy editorial the editor has num- ated a name of the things the white people do not know about the Negroes of Atlanta. In doing, he has told the choral people many things they did not know about themselves, capably by those who dwell north of "the line."
For the information of our wife
either, that he may be better able
to judge our relative worth in the
community life, we submit him a few
facts, with a view of consulting him
over an order of trip to our
other city in the southern
if, and we take his progress in
as the most working and most
natural evidence of his work as an
anger factor.

Secretary of the Pasco Department of

THE N. A. A. C. P.
In its way the N. A. A. C. P. expects to put over a big constructive program during the coming year. In order to be able to do anything money must be had. Most of the funds come from the membership fees. In order to aid this revenue, the local branch will present "The Awakening," an intensely interesting drama at the High School Auditorium on May the 15th. The cast is composed of some of the very best talent of the city.

people is remarkable, and we can stagger to say, their principal church, the Mosque Omar, rected A. D. 1907, is the most beautiful structure of its kind in the word
In Jerusalem there is to be seen the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which it is said covers the place where Jesus Christ's body was announced by Neo-calvinus and which confines the Rock Cultuary, a stone with two footprints said to be those of Christ, and the stone was rolled away from the mouth of the cypress by an angel. Then there is the Russian Presbytion Church, which is the original gate of Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, the tomb of Mary and the Chapel of Ascension on the Mount of Olives, containing a rock marked by tradition as the exact spot where Christ ascended into Heaven; there is the tomb of David on Mount Zion and the chamber of the Lord's Last Supper, the Jew's Walking Place, which against the walls of Solomon and is where the Jews go daily and cry and pray for the revelation of the burial place of the ten commandments.
The city of Bethlehem, the lone of
avid and the birth place of Christ, is
worried for his church of the Nativity,
erected over the 50th place of
caste and occupying the resting place of
the Manger. There also is the Chapel of
Innocence. Bethlehem represents the

offers spiritual opportunity for first hand
comparison of much relating it has only
life.
There is Jericho, the Primate land with Philas's looms in the school of the wars of the Prophets and Pethany, which is now an artful Moslem city in the spot where stood the house of Simon the lion, and where Lazarus was resurrected by Christ, and then the Dead Sea, and the River of Jordon with moulds turbulent waters, which lies in Mount Hermon. These are by no means all the wounders of the holy land and there are many more of lesser importance, but interesting and related are rests to the famous biblically historical place.
Palestine is wounded, and through the lee of all the lands, it is with influence that penetrates into the furthest corner of the earth. It is not a beautiful land, but passagesque and magnificent all the rejuvenates that go to make beauty—billy and valeys, shapen-platanes and rugged shore lines, barren deserts and verdant meadows. To go there and see the wounded of the past is to recieve an unequaled education, to be a master of biblical history.
and to gain some and comprehensively
knowledge of the Christ that was and
the Christianity that is. A trip to the
Totty land and full realization of much
the biblical speaks of should be received
by every one and most certify by the
large number of church men whose chosen
field is service and the persecution of
the teaching of Christ. And each a trip
is not impossible. It is within your
reach. A trip to Palestine, the wounded
