Harris, Princ DEAR EDITOR.—Please allow me space in your paper to write a few words on the subject of "Elementary Science in the public school." The question before the educators of today is, "How can the youth of the land be best prepared for complete living?" It is not how much Greek, Latin or German can be poured in the mind, but how can the child be so instructed while in the public school that when he leaves he may live, and not dole out a poor, weak existence—but live in the broadest, highest sense. After becoming acquainted with a man we wan to know of his works, having heard him lecture we desire to read his lecture, that we may catch the inspiration at second hand. Having seen a friend we enjoy reading a letter from him. In nature the Creator shows us hisworks. He gives us lectures to study; He sends us letters to read. And the pupil may come in touch with these lectures and letters through the study of Elementary Science: Instructions in science may be grouped under three heads viz: Elementary or Primary Science, consisting of the first eight grades of our public school; secondary instruction, or High school work, and superior instructions, given in our colleges, and universities. Of the vast number of people in the United States today, over twenty-three millions (23,000,000) are under one of these three kinds of instructions, but very few ever reach the college or university. And we learn from Dr Harris, Commissioner of Education, that the average boy or girl never reach the secondary school. So it has been and so it will continue to be for some time to come. We are compelled to accept conditions as they are and make the hest of them with the material at hand. Now, if the pupil will not or can not go up to where the most interesting, pleasant, beneficial studies are, we must take them down to him. Why should we reserve the best until the secondary period where only the elite may enjoy them? Why should the High school student be given all the beautiful and interesting subjects and the poor child, who never reached there, be starved while upon the "three R's"? Give a glimpse of astronomy to developing embryo, and when he becomes a full grown plant, he will read Newcomb, Holden, Philips and Young.

President Roosevelt Declares Such to Be the Present Demand from the Race. Extract from His Tuskegee Address. "Within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the south have increased so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere, so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the south to help the Negro to become in the highest degree useful to himself and therefore to the community in which he lives. The south has always depended, and now depends, chiefly upon her native population for her work. Hence the work on the Tuskegee institute is a matter of the highest practical importance to both the white man and the black and well worth the support of both races alike in the south and in the north. Your 1,500 students are not only being educated in the head and heart, but also to industrial efficiency. "In the interest of humanity, of justice and self-protection every white man in America, no matter where he lives, should try to help the Negro help himself. It is in the interest and for the protection of the white man to see that the Negro is educated. It is not only the duty of the white man, but it is to his interest to see that the Negro is protected in property, in life and in all his legal KNIGHTS of Supreme Chancellor S. W.

Let the Embryo mind see the embryo in Botany, and the matured mind will read nature. In teaching, these four questions stand up before the instructor: What? How much? When? How? The "what" before us just now is "Elementary Science in the public school." After giving some considerable attention to this subject it is clearly seen that the problem demands the introduction of a popular course of instruction in natural science in such a way as to react beneficially not only upon the pupil's regular course, but also upon rights. Every time a law is broken every individual in the community has the moral tone of his life lowered. I heartily appreciate what you have done at Tuskegee and I am sure you will not grudge my saying it could not possibly have been done save for the loyal support you have received from the white people. "The colored people have many difficulties to pass thruugh, but these will be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense is pursued. What you have done in the past is an indication of what you will be able to accomplish in the future under wise leadership. Moral and industrial education is what is more needed in order that this progress may continue. The race must learn to wait and bide its time; to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of perseverance, of thrift, of self-control. The destiny of the race is chiefly in its own hands and must be worked out patiently and persistently along those lines. Remember also that the white man who can be of most use to the colored man is that coloren man's neighbor. It is the southern people themselves who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the south." of PYTHIAS. Marks' Report Gives Some Import- grand Lodge of Missouri and diction of the World. the teachdr's methods and practical skill in imparting information. In deciding upon this important accession to our school work, we ought is see and know clearly what domain of knowledge we should introduce. To render our course tangible we would say that all of our instruction in elementary science may come under two main heads. viz: Physics or Natural Philosophy which shall deal with elements in the mathematical relations in its broadest sense; dealing with the inorganic as contrasted with the organic. Some of the subjects are easily discussed under this head, viz If you are correctly fitted, promptly and politely waited upon and, given the Best Value for your money? Quinn Bros., 206 OHio STREET. CORRESPOND DEI Social, Religious and penings of CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT Social, Religious and Business Happenings of the Week. matter, motion, force, sound, heat light, electricity and magnetism. The second subject would be natural history, or perhaps better, Physical Geography, as the last is a broader and more comprehensive term. It would begin with geological processes, in their widest sense, and pass through organic life, including plant and animal. Let us have in view the "what," which must be incorporated within our science course. The next is, how much can be presented to each grade? Without much consideration we come to the conclusion that pupils of the primary grade will not comprehend what would be readily understood by those of the upper grammar grades. So in order that we may present each subject to every pupil in the best possible light, and present it to him in the broadest and deepest relation that he is capable of understanding. And so teach every pupil before he leaves school, even if he leaves at the end of the 3d, 6th or 8th year, we must so arrange this scheme upon a special plan. The plan should be spiral for the following reasons: 1st. Pupils at an early age are more or less superficial and naturally take to something new—they enjoy a change. 2nd. Pupils, as they progress in knowledge and training year by year their power to do is also increased. 3d. That if a child enters school in any grade and remains there three years he would obtain a complete view as a unit. No positive outline for this course can be given, for this plan must be adapted to obtain the best results. In the country school a large amount of out door observation work can be accomplished. The teacher with pupils can take many walks and have many talks in the open air. Subjects of profitable study are everywhere about them, for Elementary Science is preeminently Nature's study. If If the lesson's be on animal life, every pupil can easily obtain a specimen for study. One of the oldest and most valuable of all school maxims is: "We should go into education from the known to the unknown." And this axiomatic principle accounts for the activity with which children take up the work under discussion. It is a study of something which they already know in part, and which they are anxious to know more fully. For many reasons it is thought best to place plant life first in the course.

For several years in this city the ministers of our leading colored churches have been very much hampered in their efforts to raise money from and among the white people on account of three or four expelled and jack-legged ministers, who have started a mission of their own, and have made it their business to go around and solicit money for their fake See Page Four Study wings and fins and compare them with some organ in man. Also study clothing of animals, food and their manner of obtaining it. Physics can be discussed from the following heads: Air, wind, pressure of pumps, balloons, bubbles, beated air, electricity, magnetism, gravitation, motion, friction and many other subjects can easily be presented to the pupil in the public school. We trust that the time is near when Elementary Science will have an important place in the public schools of our land. the first time in the early spring or autumn, and this being true, the first term's work can be illustrated direct from the garden and forest. During the fall term the study of flowers, their structure, color, perfume, habits, shapes and leaves can be taken up. During the winter term it will be convenient to study fruit, seed, sap and the decay of vegetation. The spring term brings renewed animal and vegetation life. For a more extensive outline we suggest the following for study: Study blood as compared with sap use of each. Study ground, what comes from it, as food for animal and man? Study breathing; do plants breath? Do insects breath? Protection. How does man protect himself? How do animals protect themselves? NO.25.

Washington is urging the American people to unite in monster popular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, the great abolitionist and patriot. It is a good suggestion. Negroes, if no others, should to a man, woman and child join in commemoration of this event. Garrison's life and work meant much to the Negro.-American of Anti-bellum days it means more to the post-bellum freedmen and their heirs. Let the Negroes of Missouri join gleefully, but earnestly and sensibly with Dr. Washington's suggestion. Here, in this city, steps should at once be taken to hold a monster celebration.

HELPS INJURED NEGRO BOY Lad Run Down by Olive Street Car Taken to Doctor's Office by Young Woman, Over Policeman's Protest. Miss Lillie Rockwood of No. 4124 Washington boulevard, a society girl, defied a policeman at Grand avenue and Olive street yesterday afternoon, and, over his protest, took charge of Aaron Lloyd, a 9-year-old Negro boy, who had been run down by an Olive street car, and helped him to a physician's office. The boy was picked up in front of No. 3555 Olive street suffering from a severe wound in the torrehead. In crossing the street he was knocked down by an cast bound car, and narrowly escaped being ground to death under the wheels. Miss Rockwond had just alighted from a Grand avenue car when she saw ?he helpless boy lying on the street. Patrolman Kelly of the Eighth district was standidg near and had not called an ambulance, although he says he was on the verge of so doing when Miss Rockwood approached. Miss Rockwood thought the policeman was not showing sufficient interest in the case. She examined the Negro's wound. At this juncture the policeman told Miss Rockwood not to interfere with his business. "Well, I will interfere," said Miss Rockwood. "This boy is painfully hurt and he is frightened. I take him to a doctor's office." "I'll call an ambulance," said the policeman. "Why call the ambulance?" said Miss Rockwood. "when there is a doctor not a block away?" Policeman Kelly did did not offer resistance, and Miss Rockwood assisted the Negro boy to the office of Dr. John Dean, No. 319 North Grand avenue, while a great crowd looked on with keen interest. Dr. Dean found three wounds on the boy's head. One on the forehead extended to the bone. There were no fractures and the boy's injuries were pronounced not serious. St Louis Republic: THREE WOUNDS.

The policeman tried hard to get her name, but he did not succeed in gaining any information from the young woman. Miss Rockwood is the daughter of Thomas H Rockwood, a retired tea merchant. Her sisters, Miss Gertrude and Miss Lucy Rockwood, are equally prominent in St Louis society. The boy, whose misfortune cause the argument, is the son of A. W. Lloyd, who is grand chancellor for Missouri of the K O P Lodge. His home is at No. 3137 Pine street. Lloyd went to the home of Miss Rockwood and thanked her for the assistance she had rendered his son. Patrolman Kelly said last night that he had acted properly. "The lady did right in taking the boy to her own doctor if she saw fit," said the policeman, "but it was not within my province to do so. I am supposed to send injured persons to the City Dispensary.

A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2.

A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.
