JOHNST The Clothier 207 Ohio WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH TH WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE CHILDREN? By Miss Daisy Lankford, Potosi, Mo. What shall we do with the children? is being asked by the fathers, mothers, and leaders of our country today. Did these men curry? No. They up in obscurity and gle for every doll Did these men come up in luxury? No. They were brought up in obscurity and had to struggle for every dollar, and often through childhood went to bed hungry and cold. The rich man is wondering if he is too indulgent with his children if after all the very riches he possesses will not prov to his child instead We are often inclined to ask what was the secret of their success? We all agree that it wasn't wealth, for they had none, but in looking back over their history we find it was an honest studious principle instilled in their hearts by God fearing parents while their hearts were young and tender. And we find this same principle brought forth in their lives. It is of the greatest importance that the child be trained right for the Bible says "Train up a child in the way he way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." The poor man is often despoadent because he doesn't feel able to give his children what he considers thencecesty's of life, to say nothing of the luxuries. He envies the rich in his splendor from the very fact that he has or seems to have every advantage. But when we look into the matter as it really is, we realize that while poverty has many draw-backs and disadvantages, it also has a few advantages. We take for instance the child raised in case and luxury, if he is not spoiled it is almost a miracle. He has some one to attend to his every wish. He cannot know the value of money. His every desire is gratified by his indulgent parents. As a rule he grows up deficient in strength and lacking in those studious ambitious qualities that characterize his poorer brother. Very seldom is the rich man's son found occupying places of prominence filled by the sons of poor men. As we speak of the training of children our thoughts naturally turn to two places home and school, for in the two places we should find the training necessary for the proper development of the child mind, but of the two places home has the greatest influence. It is natural for the child to imitate and like his parents and teachers. A child should early be taught of the true, the beautiful and the good. Fathers and mothers you occupy no mean position. It is high, exalted and holy. God has intrusted into your keeping these little jewels of humanity, and it is you who must teach the infant lips the name of Jesus. Let us take as example some of our leaders, such as Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and last but not least, the most noted Negro the United States can boast of, in the person of Dr Booker T Washington. Take these noble characters and hold them up as shining lights to the children of today.

SEDALIA, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, DEC. 23, 1905 upon with approval, and any one he speedily answers, it is a loving Christian father or mother. "No nation can rise above its mothers for the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Many oi the older people will tell us the children are not as obedient as they used to be. They say that children then had none of the boldness in asserting their rights as they do to day. This often causes us to wonder if we haven't laid aside some of the good old fashioned rules in our anxiety to be up-to-date. We all acknowledge that in many instances the trailing of the children of today is far beyond that of years ago. We all acknowledge, too, that if the Afro-Americans or any other race of people would be a success, they must worship God with the same zeal and spirit that has characterized his people through all the ages.

F. M. S. OF THE M. E. CHURCH. Dear Brother Ministers of the Central Missouri Conference: I see that our Conference is drawing near, and we accomplished so little this year for the W. F. M. S. I hope that each pastor will appoint a woman on his charge or circuit whose duty it would be to look after some money for this cause. It is necessary that we take more pains with this department of the church than we have, as we cant give the money for one to go around and organize auxiliaries, we should work the harder to make it a success. Some of our pastors never fail to bring as much as two dollars, and some have never seen the blank that the W. F. M. S. is on there. I hope that you will look close this year and in God's name let us work. It is needful for the sake of the church that we do more for our women, for we have the least class of women to work for the church that live. But we don't give them the instruction that should be given them. I hope that we will come to conference this year saying that every pastor has on his blank something for foreign missions. Then he can say that he has preached the gospel to every creature. M. J. GIBSON.

A successful teacher is with the progressive tendencies of this rest to keep pace if they constantly refuse Missouri's teachers are called to meet in annual association at Jefferson City on the 26-28. It is earnestly hoped that a large membership will avail themselves of the opportunity of forming the acquaintance of our leading educators. No teacher who means to make a life work of this important profession should continually fail to attend the annual meetings. A successful teacher is the one that keeps pace with the progressive tendencies of this restless age. How can they hope to keep pace if they constantly refuse to grasp those energies that are essential to advancing their practical every day work? There are some disadvantages that the Negro teachers of this State will have to overcome. A few we mention, viz: Poor salary, over work and unjust competition. Our teachers, the rank and file, rarely get enough salary to live on. If their vacations came during the winter, instead of summer, two-thirds of them would be unable to pull through. Twenty-five dollars is the standard price in country districts. Forty dollars is considered by rural boart's to be too much for a Negro. As a result of poor salaries our best teachers are leaving the profession for other occupations less congenial but more lucrative. Negro teachers are expected to do from three halves to two times as much work as the white teacher. All this to be done for two thirds or one-half of the white teacher's salary. It is no strange thing to find a Negro teacher in the room with 60 or perhaps 70 children, endeavoring to teach 8 or 10 grades, while across the village you will find the white school of 70 or 80 children with two and very frequently three teachers to do the work. As a natural consequence the Negro teacher is overworked, under paid and discouraged. Unjust competition is the greatest evil that afflicts the Negro teacher. Let a young man or woman spend four or seven years in High school, Normal school or College, devoting the time to the special study of scientific teaching, when they come out to seek employment they must bid with or underbid some little High school graduate. Boards of education in most cases select Negroes because of their lowness of salary rather than by their standard of practical scholarship.

We have been patiently awaiting for news from the LaFayette County Colored Fair Association. But, as yet, we have not had any definite information as to what is to be done next season. It is our opinion that we should get our heads together, during the month of January, and, begin to formulate plans for a greater and better meeting for 1006 than we have ever had before. With such men as William Graham, Clayton Williams, James Henderson, the Perry brothers, Joseph Johnson, George Edwards, Frank Jenes and others of Higginsville, Moses Green, William Hagwood, William Workcuff, William Shafer, Luther Burles, Leslie Miller, Jrmes Wilson, Joe Myers, A. B. Johnson and others of Lexington and George Seward, of Mayview, a large and prosperous association may be maintained, if they will get together, early and outline the scope of work for the season. "Act Early," should be our motto. Last season's meeting was an exceedingly successful and well patronized affair, in spite of storms and other discouraging features Indications are auspicious for a great meeting next season, because of the many favorable conditions that are perceptably evident. A few of these conditions, we take pleasure in mentioning, namely:— It is well known throughout the West that the Negroes of Central Missouri hold an Annual Fair Meeting at Higginsville. A large number are talking about what has already been accomplished—a condition worthy of note; individuals, who have aided in the maintenance of the Association, have acquired a practical and business knowledge of how to better organize and conduct the Fair on a larger and more comprehensive basis—a condition that should directly Any Quantity, at Any Time, Delivered to Any Part of XMAS PRESENTS, Beautiful pictures, Toilet sets, Albums, Japanese ware, Dolls, Ink wells, Music rolls, Fine boxes of paper, Beautiful gift books, 109 E. 2ND ST.—Dexter's Old Stand.

May we not urge upon each member of the LaFayette County Colored Fair Association to think over what has already been accomplished by his assistance. And, having thought over their past accomplishments, may we admonish them to look to the future that they see the greater achievements, for our racial advancement, that are in store for them, if they will exercise timely effort. MORGAN STREET BAPTIST CHURCH REVIVAL. Rev. J. W. Gordon, of Clinton Aids the Pastor Grearly During the Past Week. MR. EDITOR: Grant us space to say through the columns of your paper for the information of its readers that the Morgan Street Baptist church is looking up, having challenged Satan for battle two weeks ago. We fought courageously with the assistance of that daring warrior, Rev J W Gordon, of Clinton, and captured three souls for the Master's cause, with one reclaimed. Sunday, the 17th, was a glorious day for us financially and spiritually. In the afternoon we were favored with a deep, thoughtful and excellent discourse by Rev Richard Davis of Taylor Chapel. He brought a large contingent of his church with him. Rev Alexander of Quinn Chapel led many of his people to our service and gave us his assistance. Rev Gordon put on the finishing touches for us, after which the sacrament of baptism was administered to four candidates by immersion in the church pool. We have had an extremely joyful time since our stay here. Go on with God, the Almighty. A mercy Christmas to all. Pray for Sedalia. Moerschel Brewing Co. BREWERS AND BOTTLERS. Cor.

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. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy childred go further than that without considering it a hardship. 3. 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. TOYS! TOYS!

Several of the students will avail themselves of the holidays to make a visit home. Wm Lloyd Garrison's anniversary was duly celebrated by recitations and addresses. The college has no vacation this year, observing only Christmas and New Years' days as holidays. Fall term closes December 11. Grades for scholarship and deportment went above high water mark. Prof Allen gave a reception to the faculty on Wednesday evening. Mrs Waters, of New Orleans, was the guest of honor. The Bowen Literary Society held a pleasant social with literary members on the evening of December 15. Refreshments were served. The famous violinist, Professor Douglass, grandson of Fred Douglass, has been secured for the evening of January 8th, 1906, by the Student's Lecture Bureau. A rare treat is anticipated. Mrs Waters, of New Orleans, visited the college the past week and addressed the students, occupying the religious hour Wednesday morning. Mrs Waters is a representative of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, of which journal her husband is business manager. Friday morning the History classes of the Academy were entertained by Prof and Mrs Lowe. After an exercise in original poetry, a contest was entered into for places in the "Hall of Fame," each member representing and advocating the claims of some historical character. Ribbons indicating the honor won, were awarded R Q Wright representing Henry IV. of France, Garfield Jefferson, for Queen Elizabeth of England, Luella Anderson, Martin Luther, Edward Jackson, Pericles, John Brown, Demosthenes, Fred A Hughes, Themestocles. Each member then followed a thread through a labarynth leading each case to a hidden toy, creating much merriment.

The citizens of Paris are "up and doin." Tis well, because idleness is the whirlpool of ruin and destruction. The "Hiuit to Mothers," in a recent issue of the SEDALIA CONSERVATOR, was timely. It would be well for some mothers to put a latch on their tongues, while in the presence of their children. Rev. P. D. Yocum, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is moving things along.

The celebration of the 100th aniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison was observed at the A. M. E. church on the evening of the 18. Prof. C. C. Hubbard conducted the exercises. An address was delivered by Prof. G. A. Donalddoon, teacher of the Intermediate department of the public school. His address showed rare thought and careful preparation. It was received with marked attention and delight. It is hoped that its effects will shine out in the lives of those who heard it. A duet, "Sometime; Somewhere was sung by Prof. Hubbard and wife. Mr. O. E. Reed sang a solo, entitled, "The Beli I Heard Last Sunday Morning." Now as we near the season, in which our Savior's birth we celebrate, let us not, in giving presents—tokens of our esteem and regard for our friends and loved ones, forget the One to Whom we owe a debt of the greatest of gratitude; Whose power and love has made us what we are. And, whatever we may hope to be. His hand is ever extended to the needy y and, His ear is ever open to our cry. Moreover, His mercy is like unto the "wideness of the sea." The Wise Men, Ballashar, Malchior and Gasyar, presented him frank incense and myrrh. Let us present him clean hands, pure hearts and souls, void of vanity in order that we may live in peace with our fellows, thereby rendering our hearts and minds fit receptacles for the gift our God offers unto us.
