If you have any news send it to the One of the features of the K.I.E.I.Exhibition, May 4th 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 paused with the school and all concer- ial before left my office I know the dial parts of in question. If there APRIL 13, 1923 n, May 4th school perintendent 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 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. NG" HIGH Frid K. I. E. I. Is Moving Forward No question about this matter; the K. I. E. I. EXHIBITION TO BE people of this state must rely to this ON MAY THE FOURTH institution. I fear there is not enough K. I. E. I., the leading trade school for the colored youth, prepares to do work of college grade. The growth and development of this institution where the young men and young women are given half time at books and half time at trade, is to become a model for our new education. 11 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. The canvassing organization is separated into two divisions, the roll under the leadership of Mr. Neal Caldwell, and the blue, under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Barton. Each division is determined to be the winning one. The team workers have been chosen from every walk of life and they will cover the town so thoroughly that no one will be overlooked. The are unplphments of the Kansas Avenue Branch, makes any effort in its behalf, worthy Those who have the interests of the colored youth at heart, will not fail to come forward and give Kansas Ase 'A' the support it is seeking.

PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR Moving Forward They are already helping out in cases of emergency in the community around the Institute. BIBLE SCHOOL A Bible School to aid the colored ministers has been created with 25,000 churchhouses and women backing it. One of the Principal's mottoes has been that of cooperation and organization. He has worked with the leaders everywhere in helping to advance the common interests of the boys and girls thru the state and country. Summer School for Leaders Added for Advancement of Ministera of the State of Kansas. A few of the leaders along with Principal G. R. Bridgeforth have arranged Summer School the first two weeks in July, where the ministers and Christian leaders can go, not only for mental and spiritual uplift but recreation at the same time. U. S. MILITARY TRAINING U. S. Military Training has been made a permanent part of the Institute. The U. S. has been cooperating with the school in establishing one of the best Training Camps in the country. An army officer of the Twenty fourth Infantry is in charge. The students attending the Institute get the very best military training to be had any where. In addition to the regular course, the Institute added this year a Military Training camp for boys 10 years and up, beginning on August 1st, on continuing to August 31st. This promises to be a most helpful thing for boys throughout the state.

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. in the birth of Christ. Palestine has been a hotbed of religious and destruction, and much that is which allures and draws one there can be said to have resulted ITORIUM y 18th Entered at the U. S.

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.

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 This young lady gives all the crisis for her beautiful hair and a my pleasure, so EXELENTO preparations.

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.
