Much constructive work was done throughout the week. The delegation totaled more than two thousand. The Secretary of the convention stated at the close of the session last night that the enrollment had totled one thousand five hundred eighty-seven. Every state in the Union except Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont was repre-ented in the enrolment. Throughout the week there was one continuous grind of the denominational mill on matters of vital importance, affecting the future of the Negro Baptists of the United States. The Convention went on record as taking high ground for denominational and racial up lift. Advance steps were made in education. Some of the interesting features of this session were the ratification of the purchase of the Theological Seminary site, located in Nashville, Tennessee, valued at one hundred thousand dollars, which was reported by the Educational Board; the moving of the headquarters of the Educational Board to Nashville and the re-establishment of the foreign Mission at Louisville, Kentucky. The convention voted unanimously to hold its 1918 session at Little Rock, Arkansas. Fifteen thousand dollars in cash subscriptions were raised.

GREATER SERVICE PLANNED FOR BEACH INSTITUTE Efficient Corps of Teachers and New Features Added The arrangements for the opening of Beach Institute are almost completed. The general plan of work has been outlined and the schedule of recitations is ready. With the extra teacher for the upper grades the school will be prepared for more effective service than ever before. The new features of the work will be the graded lessons in music for all the students, the practice teaching classes and the reopening of grades from one to four to a limited number of pupils. In view of the high standard of work called for by the manuals recently issued by the American Missionary Association for all grades, a special effort has been made to select teachers of experience and special training to meet the new requirements. The list of teachers with their assignments of classes is as follows: Principal L. M. Rowland, Latin and science; Miss Edith B. Chandler of Des Moines, Ia., mathematics; Miss Myrtie M. Burdett, of Stoneham, Mass., high school English and history; Mrs. Mary E. Harper, seventh and eighth grade English, history, physiology and penmanship; Miss Mabel M. Alrdich of Upton, Mass., elementary grades; Mrs. L. M. Rowland, matron and community work; Miss Harriet E. Sequit of West Falmouth, Mass., domestic science and arts. As the school is now organized, the classes provide material for the following courses: (a) College preparatory course (b) Domestic Science and Arts. (c) Mechanics for boys. (d) Teachers' Course and Practice Teaching. Special attention is called to the Teachers' Course which is open to all who have never had sufficient academic training to do it justice. A special certificate will be awarded for the satisfactory completion of this work. Negro Officers' Camp Prolonged A Month 200 MEN, DISGUSTED, LEAVE FOR HOMES Remaining Successful Candidates Will Get Their Commissions October 15th Des Moines, In.—Graduation for the candidates for commissions in the Negro officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, has been postponed until October 15 by Secretary of War Baker, according to dispatches received last night. The original date for the final examination of the men was set for Sept. 12, and Brig. Gen. C. C. Ballou, in command at the camp had the schedule of work had include that date in the training. Dispatches indicate that secretary Baker has ordered instructions to continue until the revised date for the issuance of commissions. The decision of the secretary will add practically a month to the training of the men. Every candidate was expecting to work until Sept. 12, and learn of the success or failure of the men within a week. It is presumed that the recent announcement that the troops raised from the selective draft from the Negro population would be placed in training later than other units influenced the secretary in his decision. It was stated by one the men at the camp in a letter to a friend here, that of the five Savaunahians at the camp, four left there with about two hundred other candidates, being disgusted with the postponement, while the fifth is sticking it out with the remaining 600 candidates. CONGREGATIONAL KINDERGAR- TEN OPENS OCTOBER FIRST The First Congregational church free kindergarten will open Monday, October 1st. The school this year, as heretofore, will be in charge of Miss Lucille Spencer, assisted by Miss Rosa Mae Williams. Parents who desire their children to enter the school are urged to have them present on the opening day of the school, or to see either of the teachers. WALKER-HAWKINS MARRIAGE Miss Arrobell Walker, formerly of this city, was married on Thursday evening, September 6th, to Mr. James R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., in Newport, B. I. After September 21 the couple will be at their home, 627 After street, N. D., Washington, D. C. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY SEPT. 22ND, 1917 ENTRANCE TICKETS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL BE ISSUED BEGINNING MONDAY CITY AND COUNTY SCHOOL SCHOOL TEACHERS MEET THURSDAY AT CUYLER STREET SCHOOL All Children Will Be Seated In Thier Districts Every thing Nearing Completion For Opening of the Schools— Principals to Meet Today at Noon—Assignments of Various Teachers Everything is nearing completion for the opening of the public schools on Monday morning, 9 o'clock, October 1st. Most of the teachers who have been away for the summer have already returned to the city and those who have not yet arrived in the city will be here in time for the teachers' meeting Thursday noon, September 27th at the Cuyler street school, when they will be met by the superintendent and given final instructions as to the conduct of the work for the coming year. There, have been several changes made in the personnel of the teaching forces of the city and county schools. These have been caused by one resignation, Mrs. Amanda Middleton, who has been in the city schools for many years, and several leaves of absence, Miss C. Emma Lewis, also a teacher in the city schools, Miss Anna Stoney, teacher in the county schools, Miss Lewis will leave the city next Tuesday for a much needed rest and Miss Stoney will pursue studies in New York. Every child, both those who were in school last year and those who are entering this year for the first time, must apply at the schools in their district for entrance cards. On Monday morning first and second-grade tickets will be issued at all the schools; Tuesday morning third and fourth and fifth and sixth grade tickets will be issued on Wednesday morning; on Thursday seventh and eighth grade tickets will be issued at the Cuyler school. At the time of registration each child will be given a ticket by the principal, the latter retaining a stub on which is recorded the age of the child, his time of birth, his parents or guardians. This record is filed by the principal in the superintendent's office. In this way a complete record of each pupil is obtained and is kept at headquarters. The tickets issued to the children will be presented by them to the teachers on October 1st, the opening day of school. The registration of each child must be accompanied by 50 cents or 75 cents; 50 cents to be paid by children entering the first, second, third or fourth grades and 75 cents to be paid by children entering the fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth grade. This fee covers the rental of books and other school supplies for the term and greatly reduces the school cost to parents who in past years have bid to bear the whole cost of their children's books. Another change of importance is the redistricting of the city which will be strictly adhered to. No child will be allowed to attend school out of his district, every child applying being given a seat in the school in his district. In districts where the accommodation is too small the double session plans will be put into effect. The following circular letter sent out by the superintendent, gives important information concerning the opening of the schools: "In order that our schools may open without any confusion or delay, it is necessary that the following information as regards to the opening of the schools be given all the people. "Kindly read this letter to those over whom you preside. In the interest of the education of all the children of the city, the principals will, upon your invitation, give further information or explain any point not clear. "The, schools will open on the first day of October, and every child who has applied will be given a seat upon the following conditions: (1) He must be vaccinated. (2) He must be at least six years old. (3) His date of birth must be given by him or some responsible person. (4) He must apply to the school in his district. "All children of school age, both those who attended the schools last year and those who wish to attend this year for the first time, must get entrance tickets. A ticket for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade can be had for the payment of fifty cents. A ticket for the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grade can be had for seventy-five cents. The fee for the rental of books and supplies for one term. The school term is now divided into two terms instead of three as heretofore. The school districts for colored children are as follows; Childreng who live east of Bull street and north of Anderson belong to the East Broad school district; children who live west of Bull and north of Jones street, belong to the West Broad Street school district; Children who live west of Bull street, south of Jones, and north of Bolton street belong to the Maple Street school district; Children who live west of Bull street and south of Bolton, or est of Bull and south of Anderson belong to the Cuyler Street School district. The middle of the street is the dividing line in each case. All children wishing to enter the 7th and 8th grades must apply for tickets at Cuyler Street School. No child will be admitted without a ticket. On Monday morning, September 24th, tickets for the 1st and 2nd grades will be issued; 3rd and 4th grades on Tuesday; 5th and 6th on Wednesday; 7th and 8th on Thursday, beginnink each morning at 9 o'clock.

Proves to be Superior Drummer Over Boston's Best Joseph C. Marshall, son of Mrs. Maggie B. Marshall of this city, won first prize in a drummer's contest that took place in Boston, Mass., September 10. A number of the best drummers of Boston were in the contest, but the superiority of the Savannah boy was easily distinguished, thus securing the first prize, a lovely silver cup with gold lining. Young Marshall is a graduate of the West, Broad street school, this city, and is now in his second year in English High, Boston. BEN. NORMAN ATTEMPTS TO TAKE HIS LIFE Ben Norman, about 26 years of age, attempted to take his life Monday morning about 11 o'clock by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. It is not known just how the circumstances were which forced him to the rash act, but it was rumored that worry over a woman was the actuating cause. He was walking along West Broad street and had just reached the corner of Hall when he pulled out a .32 calibre revolver and fired a bullet into his head. He was rushed to the Georgia Infirmary after Dr. L. E. Martin had affected temporary treatment. At last accounts it was stated that he was resting quietly. OFF TG FISK The local contingent for Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., leaves tomorrow night over the Central of Georgia. The party will be made up of Miss Annulette McDowell, Miss Sadie Daniels, Miss Ollie Mae Terrell and Miss Lucretia Smith. Collector Roberts Wins Contest CARRIES OFF HONORS WITH CHATHAM MUTUAL CO. 190 Per Cent. of Company's Debit Collected During Contest In the contest of the Chatham Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company, September 10th, to 14th, Collector Nathan Roberts carried off first honors by collecting 353 per cent. of his debit. The contest was a very spirited one, and every one of the eighteen agents of the local office entered into it with a vim and determination not often witnessed. The rivalry was very keen throughout the five days the contest was on as was manifested, by the company's collection of 190 per cent. of its debit. THE NEW YORK TIMES Mr. Roberts in winning the contest by the collection of 353 per cent. of his weekly debit of $100.30, was pushed for premier honors Mr. M. G. Graham who collected 221 per cent on his weekly debit. Third place went to Mrs. H. B. Sales with a collection of 209 per cent. The Chatham Mutual Health Insurance Company is one of the youngest industrial insurance companies doing business in this city. It is a Savannah company with headquarters in the Wage Earners Bank building, being organized here a little over twelve months ago, March 1916. It has grown by leaps and bounds and now has a weekly debit of $1,500.00. It maintains offices in several other cities and towns, the latest being opened in Augusta. There are eighteen agents with the local office; and throughout the state the company employs about fifty persons. The company is headed by local men, A. H. Dunbar, president; D. Pringle, secretary and Fred Perd, treasurer. NUMBER 3 Free Kindergarten Association Formed UNDER AUSPICES OF LOCAL URBAN LEAGUE Will Conduct Free Kindergarten at Yamacraw Centre On last Monday afternoon at Urban League headquarters, the Savannah Free Kindergarten Association was established in connection with the Urban League. Fifteen ladies answered the call and a very enthusiastic meeting was held with the result that a promising organization was effected, with the following officials: Mrs. Willie Blair, president; Mrs. E. E. DesVerney, vice president; Mrs. Wm. Lockley, secretary and Mrs. Belle Hamilton, treasurer. The great need of establishing a kindergarten for the hundreds or neglected children there, was gone into thoroughly; the problem of supporting the kindergarten, securing a competent teacher, equipment, etc, were discussed carefully, before organization was effected. So impressed were the ladies with the extreme need of the work, the sore neglect and deprivation of the hundreds, yea, thousands of children under school age in the city, that despite the grave responsibility of raising funds for the maintenance of such a work, their was a unanimous vote to go into organization and undertake the work. It was proposed to raise the necessary funds according to plans in vogue in associations of other cities. Appeals will be made to organizations and individuals for annual subscriptions, concerts and entertainments will be given by committees of the organization and a campaign for members for the association will be made. It is not expected that much difficulty will be experienced in raising funds by either of these methods. From the fifteen persons present one hundred and sixty-five ($165.00) dollars was pledged, and it is expected that when the canvassers get on the field quite five hundred dollars will be realized. During the early part of October, the Association will give an entertainment at the Masonle Temple and it is planned to sell hundreds of tickets to persons all over the city who may be willing to aid in this good and worthy cause. The following subscriptions were taken at the first meeting: Mrs. Wm. Blair $10.00; Mrs. A. B. Slingfield $10.00; Mrs. M. E. Tolbert, $10.00; Mrs. Lucy Lucas $10.00; Mrs. E. E. DesVerney $10.00; Mrs. B. Hamilton $10.00; Mrs. H. T. Singleton $10.00; Mrs. Wm. Lockley $10.00; Mrs. M. J. Gordon $10.00; Miss Helen Lee $10.00; Misses Lucile and Edner Price $10.00; Miss Rebecca Houston $10.00; Miss C. McDowell $10.00; J. G. Lemon $25.00 Individuals or organizations desiring to join the association or to aid in this work in any way, may communicate with the president, Mrs. Blair, 725 B. Bolton street, or with the Savannah Tribune. Messrs. John McIntost, Jr., Andrew Robinson, Cyrl Parks and Ezra Johnson were appointed on the temporary carriers' list of the local post office. They began work Monday morning. They will, however, have to pass the carrier's examination for permanent places on the force. DRINKS INSECT LIQUID Mrs. Willie Wooten Clark, 608 Jefferson street, drank insect poison Monday morning early with almost fatal results. Before the poison could take effect, however, Dr. C. E. Brent was called in and relieved her. It is not known whether she drank the poison with suicidal intent or got hold of it by mistake. The directors of the Needlework Guild are asked to meet at St. Philip A. M. E. church, West Broad street, at 4:30, September 25. Miss Edna Washington Left Sunday for Richmond, Va., where she will enter school. Mr. William Harding and son of Atlanta are in the city spending a few days with relatives. Miss Esther Snowden has accepted a position as bookkeeper with the Mechanics Savings Bank. ~ PAGE TWO . : THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY SEPT. 22ND, 1917 = : hs SE TWO eens ieee a en a HE NEWS OF A BECOMING smartest affair imaginable.

The ‘Tabernacle has been called the “Ca- ‘thedral of American Cangregational- Jnmn,” and is remarkable in its organi- zation, unique in its construction and far-reaching in the service which it renders the people.

Creel, head of the Government Bureau of Public Information, during the war, has said that, "In the present world conflict, sweat is more valuable than blood." He referred to the great task of producing food supplies and munitions for us at the front. He continued: "It was not soldiers, but scientists, who discovered that nitric acid can be made from air; that iron and steel can be used in place of copper and alloy; that wood may be fire proofed; and that roasted sawdust is an antiseptic." Kerensky had some job-ski. When he came up all the Russians were talking at once. He seems to have them partially quieted down and awaiting their turns to state their points or order-ski. One more full week and the school bell will sound the death knell of vacation. Johnnie has already begun to suffer mentally, in anticipation of "being controlled and directed." In the interest of school discipline, parents would do well to commence at once "to trim sails." Hardwick and Watson have succeeded in "muddying the water", right shafply. The politicians are fraiming up to "center on one man" to oppose the junior senator in the next senatorial contest. Watson is invulnerable, politically, and the government has undertaken to silence him by barring his publication from the mails. Both Georgia men. Ohi, you Georgia. Pershing in company with King George of England reviewed England's African troops. France and England are proud and boastful of the prowess of her black soldiers—America is not outie sure what to do with hers. A FINE CHANCE The colored people of Savannah have a fine opportunity to impress the Board of Education with the inadequacy of grammar school facilities for Negro children, in the plan for registration and entrance which will be put into operation next week for the first time. There are a great number of Negro children of school age in Savannah every year, who are not entered on the school rolls. We are duly aware of the serious statement we make, and we have not made it inadvisely. We have investigated sufficiently to warrant our making this startling assertion. In Yamacraw, Frogtown and the Old Fort sections of the city there are scores of children who are not in school. In other sections to a less degree, this unfortunate condition exists. There are several causes to which this lack of attendance may be traced. Many parents are ignorant and untrained, and, hence, lack the vision and judgment to see the great advantage of education, the greater worth of the trained young men and young women to the community, the better chance and wider opportunity for earning a living which the educated individual has. This lack of appreciation is not usual, but it shows itself in the indifference of these parents toward the training of their children. Very few children go to school and follow the sometimes arduous routine and monotony, of their own volition and initiative and perseverance. Without the direction and compulsion of parental authority, they fail to go or drop THE SAVANNAH-TRIBUNE, SATURDAY SEPT. 22ND. 1917 out with trivial or no excuse. A few work, but investigation has shown that in only very rare instances has this been justified or necessary. The teachers in the schools have always done a great deal to keep pupils going, once they enter school; they often inquire and investigate into their home life and endeavor to point the way of meeting the obstacles, so as to have the pupils remain in school. In some cases the teachers have succeeded in holding on to boys and girls who turned out well, justifying the care that had been spent on them. Another and one of the most serious obstacles to be met in the situation is the lack of adequate accommodations and facilities in the schools themselves. It takes an abnormal vision and sense of appreciation for education for the average child, free to choose for himself to elect to keep in school under the conditions of over crowding, lack of comfort and inconvenience which many colored children have to meet, in some of the schools. We have often seen the disadvantage of having sixty or more of very young children in a single room, under one teacher. In the winter these rooms have often been uncomfortable from lack of uniform and sufficient heat and dangerous draughts. These undesirable conditions can scarcely be avoided in one or two of the present buildings. These uncomfortable and uninviting conditions might be elaborated upon. A school should at least be physically comfortable and inviting in its appearance and equipment. This idea is being carried out everywhere. We have lately been studying the general school conditions affecting colored people all over the country and we have been pleased to observe the general conclusion of educational authorities everywhere to provide more suitable buildings and adequate equipment. The total number of Negro children in school is far below what it should be in a population of 40,000 or more. Where are the other children? Why are they not in school? Why do they not hold on after they enroll? These are questions which must be answered with action if the next generation of Negroes in Savannah is to be what it should, in efficient citizenship. We believe the poor conditions, obtaining in the Negro public school situation, are not as well known to the people as they should be. There has been little or no thought given to the matter and the patrons, in a way, have been thought to be satisfied. The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to give every Negro child the advantage of a common school education, and it is willing to assume that responsibility and provide the means for supplying this privilege and opportunity. It rests with the people themselves somewhat, to bring their needs before the Board of Education, and the people must do it, and at once. An excellent chance to emphasize the need of improved conditions and increased facilities, comes in the present plan of entrance requirements. Every Negro child who can raise the sum of fifty or seventy-five cents can qualify for a place in school. All pupils, the new and the old, are put on the same footing, all must apply for entrance cards during next week. There can be no excuse for those who heretofore have complained and excused themselves on the ground that they could not get seats. Let every child of school age apply and procure one of the tickets, and every one will be provided a place in school. This information and plan has been published all over the city by the Superintendent of Schools. Every congregation and club, every minister and leader knows about it, and every child of school age should be compelled to apply for admission to the schools. One prominent and progressive minister remarked the other day that he did not wish enrolled on the books of his church our parent who failed to send his children to school; we agree with him. Children without parents, but living under conditions which permit of their going to school should be required to go. Good citizens, observing cases of this kind or parents neglecting to send their children to school, should report these to the school authorities. All the ministers of the city are calling attention to the new plan of registration and entrance and it is expected that many more children will avail themselves of the splendid opportunity afforded them of enrolling in the schools where they may be trained for lives of greater usefulness for themselves and for the community. THE VICTORY WON The victory for justice and fair play has been won. The fight for the right of citizen-hip and property-owners, though these be colored, to be protected against the invasion of white prostitution and houses of ill-fame has been determined in favor of the right and on the side of law and order. Months ago, when the "Committee of Nine" colored men, working under the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, took up the fight to prevent the Chief of Police from unloading the women from East Oglethorpe avenue on the residential section of the west side, many of the faint-hearted, "fearful and afraid," despaired of the committee's success and thought the men backing in judgment. As was pointed out in last week's Tribune, "they had resigned themselves, meekly and submissively to what had been assigned and allotted them." But fortunately for Savannah and fortunately for our race, all Negroes are not weaklings. We have a great many men, while peaceable and law-abiding, who are intelligent and courageous. The committee went at its work systematically and courageously, and the committee is intact today, and ready, as it has always been, to follow up its work, so well begun. Pursuant to Council's order to the Chief of Police, and under inpulse of the determination of the two committees, the black and the white, we are witnessing the passing of this despicable menace. We have heard that the United States authorities had planned to make an attack on this business with a view to driving it out to protect great numbers of soldiers who may embark from this port. Every day vans are moving away the automatic player-planos, trappings and other paraphernalla usually employed in this business. The departure of this unholy institution, which is destroying the lives of thousands, leaving ruin, sorrow and death in its wake, will be "unhonored, unwept and unsung." Good people will hall its passing with great rejoicing. The whole affair teaches the wonderful lesson of co-operation and shows what great things may be accomplished by sensible protest, based on right and intelligently made. FREE KINDERGARTEN To all those who know of the sore need of the work, it will be gratifying to read elsewhere in the columns of The Tribune of the organization of the Savannah Free Kindergarten Association which proposes to establish and maintain a free kindergarten in Yamacraw. At the initial meeting little more than a dozen ladies were present and yet their interest and enthusiasm were such that one hundred, sixty-five ($165.00) dollars was subscribed for the first year's fund, besides plans for the raising of a great deal more. We look upon this new organization as possessing the opportunity to do untold good, because it aims to correct and improve one of the worst conditions obtaining in the city. In any given radius of a quarter of a mile, in Yamacraw, at least one hundred children below school age, that is, below six years, may be found. There is in operation among these large groups of growing children nothing in the way of training, intelligent direction or education. One does not have to think, scarcely, to realize what an awful misfortune and handicap these children labor under, what little chance they have to develop morally, what lack of opportunity to have their nobler spiritual and mental powers aroused, what little chance to get a good start in life. One must realize at once what a serious responsibility and burden these untrained children must thrust upon the public school when eventually, they enter, if ever. The problems of discipline, uneven development and what not, which are entailed, handicap the whole school scheme. The public education regime, up to date, unfortunately, does not extend to meet this condition. There would be nothing to fit these children for the public schools, if public-spirited citizens like these splendid women did not go to their rescue; and we must rise to a free sense of their noble service to the community and their great charity to those whom they shall serve. We should give every aid and encouragement to the work, at every call they may make upon us. Such a work and such laudable effort upon the part of our good women, should meet a hearty response from the men in all parts of the city, and it will. We believe that the ladies are going to succeed in raising their budget of three hundred and fifty dollars, and succeed easily. They represent a splendid lot of women workers,—women who have succeeded in other projects and enterprises; in church and fraternal work, and they are going to succeed in this. Yamacraw Centre, already established as a place of assembly, provides an excellent place for the beginning of this good work, and we do not doubt that splendid results will obtain from the very beginning. When our splendid women are as determined as these, we are going forward. Miss Anna Butler and Miss Ellen Cart er left Tuesday for Charlotte, N. C., where they will enter school. New York City, N. Y.,—Resulting from an eloborate banquet which was given in honor of Mr. Edward H. Burke of Savannah, Gm., on Thursday night of last week, the United Sons of Georgia was organized here and is composed of a number of Savannahians. During the process of the banquet, short talks were made in behalf of the occasion and stress layed upon the necessity of uniting. The guest of honor responded to the talks and urged that an organization be perfected so as to be in closer touch with each other and at the same time be beneficial. At the conclusion of his talk, the matter of organization was discussed and it resulted in a temporary organization being perfected with Mr. Joseph Eaves as chairman and Mr. John P. Taylor as secretary and the following as members: Messrs. Clem Pittman, W. H. Jackson, R. B. Coleman, E. H. Burke, Jackey Sneed, Jake Bowman, Gus. Coleman, Thos. L. Williams, Bill Gibbons, Ed. R. Collins, Al. Greer W. L. Thomas, Frank Wiggins, Wm. D. Heard, and Charlie Gray. On last Sunday the club met and its membership was increased and the outlook is bright for a successful organization. The officers elected were Joseph Eaves, president; W. H. Jackson, vice president; Ed. R. Collins, secretary and J. H. Gathers, treasurer MUST TRY TO CONTROL Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay The great master minds of all the ages of the past whether grappling with complexed business or any other of the many mooted and vexing problems of their day, found the final solution of them in that same thing which we of the present day must ultimately look to, if we would win out, namely, systematic conscious work. The purpose of the great National Negro Business League, and the many subsidiaries working under its benign and helpful influence, is first, last and all the time, to teach and talk of the beauties and blessings which are to be derived from faithful and unselfish service rendered by members of the race for the benefit of members of the race. At this very critical period in the life of the American Negro, when heartless politicians, and cheap notoriously-seekers are playing to the foot-lights, with their spread eagle oratory, go far enough with their folly and prejudice, to advise this great American government of ours, which is training men to fight for the maintenance of its honor and dignity and for the permanent establishment of a world-wide democracy, to even send its fighters, who, through no fault of theirs, happen to be the dusky sons of Ham, on trains separate and apart from other fighters who are no more loyal and patriotic than the brave men whom these two-by-four peanut politicians are trying to humiliate and discourage. But this is not what we started out to say. We had in mind to discuss with you the importance of the Negro who may be engaged in business, contributing his quota to the helpful solution of the great problem of turning the flowing channel of dollars which go from pockets of members of the race, weekly, into the pockets of the other fellow, who has shown on various occasions and is still showing, that not only is it a fact that he does not want them, but, the truth to tell, he does not need them so badly as the struggling members of his Jim-crowed race of ours. There are many furor-nt lessons which the Negro like all other races must learn, if he would tower high in the scale of twentieth century commercefallm, the knowledge of which class of business, for the most part, comes as a direct result of training and contact in the hard school of experience. No one would have the personified and unmitigated gall to stand up in open and say that the Negro has not done well along business lines in the past few decades. And while it is true that he has wrought well as a business factor, and has made his competitor sit up and take notice, the more thoughtful ones among us honestly contend that there is much land yet to be possessed, and many of us have heard the appeal heralded down the line from our recognized leader, the late Booker T. Washington, saying to us, like Joshua of old, "We are fully able, let's go over now and possess it." It is indeed encouraging to all the thoughtful members of the race when they think of the success that the enterprises conducted by members of the race are meeting with. The success of these racial enterprises has been the great source of inspiration which has pushed and impelled the Negro onward and upwards in his struggles toward the summit of industrial activities, which are making him known and felt from one end of this country to the other. The thing which makes the successful Negro business man so very careful in his dealings, where respect and great confidence are reposed, is not hard to see by those who are honestly seeking after truth. The successful Negro business man knows that should his project fall that his race will receive a setback for years, perhaps, generations to come. But not so with the other, fellow; when the other fellow falls and goes into the hands of a receiver, the world says that man or firm has failed, and that's all to it. But when a Negro bank or a Negro insurance company falls and go into the hands of a receiver, the unscrupulous, who wish to do the race an irreparable injury, heralds it to the world, that the race is incapable of handling big business enterprises. The writer has known of his own personal knowledge, men without any security or the right and acceptable kind of indorsers to make application at Negro banks for large loans, in which banks they had never seen the wisdom of putting one brass penny, and when they had been informed that the funds of the bank belonged to the people, and could be let out only on the very best of guilt-edged security, that person walked awe "cussing" the bank and its employees, saying: "That's what I say about Negro things." These things are mentioned in this weekly letter from time to time, for the purpose of trying to be of some service to our people in the important matter of doing some hard, straight thinking. Again, the thoughtless are servants to the thinkers.

Possibly he is feeling his way and has fixed prices tentatively subject to revision. It is hoped this is the case. His first schedule certainly calls for revision at once or grave injustice will result from it. The drastic cut in bituminous coal to $2 a ton at the mine will have the result of closing some of the soft coal mines that at present wages and increased cost of everything used cannot be worked profitably at the Government's rate. As far as their shutting down goes it will decrease the output of bituminous coal, a result which the Government surely wishes to avoid. The price which the President fixes for anthracite coal is, on the other hand, not a reduction at all but an advance. It will make the consumer of hard coal pay more than the coal operators have been willing to accept. Hard coal has been going steadily upward in cash to consumer for ten years. Every strike that has added a few cents a ton to the pay of the miners has added several times as many cents a ton to the selling price of hard coal. Taxes have put on some cents per ton and when the taxes were abolished the advanced price has remained. Upward, still upward has gone the cost of coal to consumers, while it has become in many cases poorer in quality and harder to get. The people contemplate with satisfaction the passage of the law giving the President authority to determine the price of fuel. Surely, it was thought, he will rescue the hard coal consumers from the extortion from which they have suffered for many years. To the amazement and confusion of anthracite buyers the hard coal operators are not only justified in their high charge but are invited to make them higher. Philadelphia Press. W. A.

This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.

Tucker, Cashler Phones 1522 1439 SMITH --- PAGE SEVEN Washington, D. C., Sept. 18—Letters, telegrams and personal assurances to Dr. Jernagin indicate that the forthcoming National Negro Congress, called to assemble October 3 and 4 in the Floridan Avenue Baptist church, will be a great success. The meeting promises to be large and thoroughly representative. Race leaders of power and influence in all the strategic centers of the land have accepted invitations to address the Congress and many others have volunteered to say a word for the welfare of the race. The scope of the call is so broad that it is expected that delegates will come from every branch of our racial life, religious, educational, political, commercial and fraternal. Washington is now the storm-center of the problems that affect the Negro, as here are the chief magistrate of the nation. When the race speaks in Washington it will have the universe for its audience. The Congress of the United States will be asked to intervene to protect the race in its struggle for safety from mob violence and unconstitutional interference. A bill has been brought from mBoston by Mayor Curley, it is stated, having for its object the authorization of the federal government to intervene where riots; mob violence, lynching, etc., threatened to overturn law and order. This will be offered for the consideration of the Congress and is said to be strongly backed. Another measure proposed is one to forbid the right of people to move from one section to another if the migrant desires to move to better their condition. It is claimed that there is a federal aspect in such terrible massacres as happened at East St. Louis an that it is as important that lynchers be made to feel the strong arm of the national government as the counterfeiter and the violator of exercise regulations. Dr. Robert Russia Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, conferred with President Wilson on a few days ago at the White House upon a number of matters concerning the Negro people. According to the best advises, Dr. Mason indicated to the Chief Executive that the colored people are greatly cast down by the indifference of the government as to the participation of colored Americans in the war on a basis of equality of opportunity for service. He pointed out that the Negro is a natural patriot, has always been loyal and efficient wherever placed and that today he is faithful to the Stars and Stripes, despite grievances of the most serious character. He urged a generous policy toward the Negro patriot in the army and navy and in every field in which any other race is engaged. The President is said to have expressed a desire that more cordial relations be established between the races. Beyond this the report did not go into this interview. There is an expectation that the President at a time deemed proper will make a general statement touching the problem of race in connection with the war and that it will team with sentiments that will greatly hearten the colored Americans all over the land. The fact that the War Department has not yielded to the protest of southern governors against the training of Negro troops on southern soil and that Congress has agreed to turn all possible light on the East St. Louis riots gives evidence that the administration is not as hostile to the rights and privileges of the Negro as might seem true to the superficial observer. --- The papers today carry the report that Assistant Secretary Byron R. Newton is to succeed Mr. Dudley Field Malone as collector of customs for the port of New York. In the Treasury Department Mr. Newton is immensely popular and while all are delighted to see his abilities fittingly recognized, there is a universal regret over his departure. Mr. Newton is a sincere friend of the efficient colored man. The new season opens auspiciously on the Dudley circuit and old-time performers say things are looking better than they have seen them for years. Miss Gladys Dennis has closed with "The Smart Set" and returned to her home in this city. The Quality Amusement Co. will present the "Silent Witness" at the Howard next week to be followed week of October 1 by "The Man from Mexico." Miss Cloe Desmond scored the hit of her long and glorious career as Heanne LaFarge, in "The Vampire" running this week at the Howard. She looks the part and gives it an interpretation that is impressive, convincing and wins sympathy while repulsive in respect to morals. Miss Desmond has demonstrated that she is equally at home in comedy or emotional work and it is not too much to say that not one of the Quality staff could have gotten more out of the role than did Miss Desmond—and the part is a difficult one with many lines and tense situations. Mr. Frank A. Byron accompanied the Committee on Naval Affairs of the House of Representatives to Florida and other points in the South. Mr. Byron halls from Chicago and is an important factor in looking after legislation affecting the Negro and the circulation of the public documents of interest to the race. Mrs. Rosina Alexander Jackson, at Atlantic City, is to visit Pittsburg and Baltimore during October and November, with a return to Atlantic City for the winter. Mrs. Jackson was once a member of "The Smart Set" and Alda Overton Walker's "Poto Rican Girls," but is now a beauty culturist. Mr. Neval H. Thomas, instructor in history at the Dunbar High school, states there is no truth in the rumor that he is an aspirant for the principalship of Dunbar. The critics of the colored school system says that 90 percent of the graduates of the Colored Business School have failed in the civil service examinations for stenographers and typewriters. If true, this is a matter for thorough investigation. The people's money should not be expended for inefficient instruction in such an important field as business training. The demand for labor steadily increases here and elsewhere. Our colored friends who wish to work should watch the liberal offers made in the advertisements appearing in the daily papers. Work is the corner-stone of progress and prosperity. Phelps School, Vermont avenue, is to have a $50.000 addition. A large assembly hall will be a desirable feature of the new building. The local branch of the National Negro Business League is to be revived. Mr. Daniel Freeman, the well-known photographer, is the president and will be continued as such. Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, is laying plans to erect in the near future a $100,000 hotel and apartment house for the convenience of the many visitors who come to Washington day by day and for families who wish to be relieved of the tedium of housekeeping. Dr. Ernest A. Robinson has gone to Asbury Park, N. J. to practice his profession. His wife, Mrs. Marjorie Robinson, a noted pianist, accompanied him. They were tendered a delightful reception by friends on the eve of their departure. --- Mrs. Laura Terrel Jones, head of the Children's Department at Tuskegee Institute. Ala., has returned to her tttttttttttttdutjiedluraewIMtiiucIJand duties after a pleasant visit here, the guest of her brother, Judge Robert H. Terrell --- Two former Washingtonians, Dr. W. W. Purnell and Dr. J. S. Outlaw, have been circulating among old friends during the past week. Dr. Purnell is now located at Oakland, Cal., and Dr. Outlaw is at Los Angeles. The continuation of the camp at Fort Moines, Ia., until the 15th of October will keep our boys away longer than had been expected. The boys from the District have "made good" Fathers, mothers, sweethearts and wives will be made happy "when Johnny comes marching home." Mr. Charles V. Richey, of Chicago and New York, an inventor, mechanic and electrician, was a recent visitor to the city. He conferred with the officials of the War Department with reference to an invention that will likely be of service in connection with the war. Prof. Charles H. Moore, state supervisor of colored schools of the state of North Carolina, spent last week in the city, en route from New York and Atlantic City of his home in Greensboro, N. C. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman and Miss Jeanette Carter have returned from Philadelphia and Atlantic City where they attended the convention of the National Medical Association and the festivities connected with that great assembly. Mrs. Daisy M. Iver-on, a poetess of promise, has published a neat postal card memorial tribute to the late Booker T. Washington under the caption "My Hero." Mrs. Amie Laurence Lucas, poetess, playwriter and dramatist, has placed before the public a souvenir card bearing a touching poetical bro plea." Mrs. Lucas has in preparation clure entitled "A Colored Mother's two dramas, "The Niche in the Library" and "The Heart of a Vampire." MT. TABOR BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. N. H. Whitnire, pastor.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Dan. vi, 10-23. Memory Verises, 22, 23—Golden Text, Pa. xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our last lesson ended with a reference to the epistle of Nebuchadnezzar (chapter iv), in which, after his seven years insanity, he acknowledged the True God and humbled himself before Him. In chapter v we see a proud, rebellious king, who would not humble himself before God, and he had to be taken off the earth. We cannot but think of the sad ending of the rich man of Luke xvi, 23; xli, 20. In this book there is wonderfully shown up the great contrast between the wisdom of this world and the wisdom that comes from God only. In the first second dreams of Nebuchadnezzar and in the matter of the writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast all the learning and wisdom of Babylon were utterly helpless to understand or interpret either. But the God of Heaven, the Most High God, whose alone are wisdom and might, who only can reveal secrets and make known what shall come to pass hereafter. He could and did tell Daniel what the king dreamed and the interpretation of it and the significance of the words on the wall. The learning and scholarship of these days in which we live are just as helpless to interpret the things of God as were the wise men of Babylon, for the things of God knoweth no man, but only the Spirit of God (chapters ii, iv and v and I Cor. if, 11). There is another matter we should lay to heart in these last days at the end of the time of the gentiles, and that is that "the Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth." for "the lofty looks of man shall be humbled and theaughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day" (Isa. xxiii, 9; ii. 11, 17). Those who know only the god of munitions (Dan. xl, 38, margin) shall learn that there is a Living and True God, who needs neither men nor munitions. The world power having reached its second stage, according to the visions given to Nebuchadnezzar and to Daniel, and the Babylonian having given place to the Medo-Persian, we find Daniel still at the head of affairs, but hated by the other presidents and princes who had to confess that they could find no error nor fault in him and would not be likely to unless in some matter connected with his religion. Knowing that he worshiped, and prayed to a God whom they knew not, they approached Darius, the king, with a bit of flattery, asking him to sign a decree that any one asking a petition of any god or man except himself should be cast into the den of lions (verses 4-9). They set the time limit at thirty days, but probably knew that a much shorter time would be sufficient to catch their prey. Darius thoughtlessly fell into the snare and signed the decree. Daniel, knowing all about it, kept right on communing with his God in the usual way and did, not think it worth while to close his windows. Of course he was soon caught, for his enemies meant business, and, although the king, when he found how he had been entrapped, labored till the going down of the sun to deliver Daniel, his love was powerless against the law, which had to take its course, and soon Daniel is in the den of lions, and the stone upon the mouth of the den is sealed with the king's own signet. It may have been that Daniel's encounters made merry over their success in getting him out of the way; but, if so, they were an illustration of Job xx, 5, "The triumphing of the wicked is short." The king, who sought to comfort Daniel with the assurance, "Thy God whom thou servest continually, He will deliver thee" (verse 10), passed a sleepless night, fasting, and very early in the morning was at the den of lions, crying with a lamentable voice, "Oh, Daniel, servant of the Living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?" (Verse 20). What a burden must have rolled from the king's heart when he heard the voice of Daniel assuring him that God had shut the lions' mouths and they had not hurt him! Quickly Daniel is taken from the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God (verses 22, 23). It was truly a good morning for Daniel, reminding us of the morning that will soon dawn for all the people of God (Ps. xivl, 5, margin; xlix, 14). It was a terrible time for Daniel's enemies (verse 24), reminding us that there will be no morning for those who do not believe God (Isa. vill, 20, R. V.). He who loved us more than Darius loved Daniel suffered the extreme penalty of the law in our stead, and the stone that covered his tomb was also served, but no power of the enemy could heal Him, and now He is allied forever and we are alive in Him if we have truly received Him, and (Luke 15) condemnation to them that aid in Christ Jesus. When Daniel's people shall be made all righteous with an everlasting righteousness—at His coming in glory—then shall we come with Him and share with Him and them the everlasting kingdom after the times of the gentiles shall have expired (Dan. 1x, 24; vll, 13, 14; Ps. xxll, 27, 28; Col. 4).

They have taught in large white schools in New York and Boston; where the standard of ettici- ency fs the very highest. They are teachers by vocation, and do not work for any worldly interest; but ‘theirs Js a work of sacrifice—the training of the hearts, souls and character of the young. © ' .
