State Grand Chapter Held Its Annual Convention at Sedalis, July 18-20. Many Delegates from the Entire Jurisdiction Were in Attendance.
SKDALIA, Mo., July 21.—The Grand Chapter of the State of Missouri and its worthy grand juisdiction Order of the Eastern Star, convened at the Court House in regular Annual session Wednesday morning with Mrs A Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., Grand Royal Matron, presiding.
Knights Templar participated in the ceremonies. While ocing their respective positions, Grand body presented a pleasing spectacle. The office elect for the ensuing year are follows:
Mrs Louisa J Roberts, Hbal, Grand Royal Matron.
After the regular ritualistic opening Mrs Ida M Carter, Royal Matron of Queen City Chapter No 47, this city, welcomed the officers and delegates. Mrs Magggie Ballew of Liberty, responded in suitable terms. Many abate and resses from the executive officers were the leading features of the day.
One hundred delegates representing 47 Chapters were enrolled. These chapters represent a total membership of 1,200 in this jurisdiction that includes Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. During the past year the endowment collection amounted to $739, a pretty good showing since this department has been in operation only two years. Sixteen deaths were reported and at the chapter of sorrow, an open session held at 4 p.m Friday, a solmn rite was performed in their honor. G C Kimbrcugh, Grand Royal Patron, conducted the services. In its local chapters the members are paid sick benefits, burial expenses and are looked after in a general way. No greater agency for helping woman kind is at work in the state than this organization. Queen city chapter will be greatly benefitted by this annual meeting. The election of Mrs Ida M Carter, of this chapter as one of the Grand officers was a compliment paid our city that all Negroes living here appreciate. Friday evening a large audience witnessed the installation services at Liberty Park. Our local chapter a d the

Summer School Notes.
President B F Allen has gone East for a ten days 'tour.
Principal J B Coleman and wife of Columbia are among the hard working teachers. He has given two very interesting lectures before our literary society.
Misses Alice Holmes and Estela Martin of Sedalia are greatly missed this week. Each of them have proved that they are excellent teachers. We miss you, ladies
Prof Moten was on the sick list for two or three days and Principal Tom Ann Dan Wright was at the head of the Department of Mathematics. It seemed that Wright is right in every place. Editor R L Logan of the Professional World was on the Campus shaking hands with the teachers, Wednesday, the 18th. Principal G F Perry of Guthrie, Oklahoma, is here attending the summer school. He has an even dozen teachers under his personal supervision in that city. Our teachers are to render a program tonight for the benefit of the Methodist church.
The Summer School Literary Society is having some fine exercises and each session is well attended. Principal Tom Ann Dan Wright of Monroe Cily, our president, is a fine executive that is pushing things to the front.
The Principals have organized a Principals' Association, which meets every Monday afternoon. Principal Hicks, is president and Principal Johnson is secretary. At a recent meeting, thoughtful papers on "The Duties of Principals," were read by Principals Perry, Jacobs, Wright and Abington. -G. J. M., Reporter,

Is It Possible To Raise The Salaries Of Negro Teachers?
Much complaint is made by the colored teachers of this state about the meager salaries they are receiving. And their contention is just and considerate. Negro teachers are too poorly paid. We would not dare to estimate the average Negro teacher's salary at more than $35 per month for nine scholastic months in a calendar year. If such an estimate be taken as a basis, it means an income of only $315 per year from a chosen profession. Just think of it! Only a little over $25 per month, year around, to live on, buy literature, attend summer schools, pay doctor's bills, meet the various charities in communities where falls their lot to labor and to provide decent raiment to meet the public. Their pay is entirely and shamefully too small. Some of best educators have been driven from the state or into other lines of work on account of poor salaries. Can the race or the state afford to let those properly prepared teachers put aside this important work for no other reason than poor pay? Some thing must be done to effect a change. What is a feasible method of getting at the salary proposition? It is simple and easily handled. "Cut out" the incompetent teacher. Remove them from the field of competition. Let none enter until they are prepared. How may this be done? By raising the educational and experimental standard and require all aspirants to meet the requirements. By raising the standard there would be a scarcity of teachers and boards of education would pay Negro teachers better wages, since all their applicants would be competent and they would require good wages be refuse to work. We do not need the cheap teacher now.
Our educational qualification for teachers must be raised sufficiently high to eliminate the "Little high school graduate" from the field of competition with experienced pedagogues. Let them graduate from our high schools as rapidly and as young as possible but, have them to understand that they must prepare themselves for teachers, if they desire to teach. Our children have been imposed upon too much already by inexperienced and incompetent teachers.
We find too many First Grade certificates in the hands of persons who are shamefully incompetent. Many of these persons have

"gall" to strive for the principelships of our best schools, not their competency do they rely upon but via of a 'fixed" certificate do they hope to win. Such teachers need severe disciplining.
Conclusion of a Prosperous Year's Work.
At 10:30 a. m. Tuesday, July 24, the 22nd annual conventions of the Knights of Pythias and Calanthean sisters of Missouri will be called to order, at Kansas City, by Grand chancellor A. W. Lloyd, of Saint Louis. This will be the culminating work of a very prosperous year's labor. All of the officers will make good reports from their various departments. Pythianism and Calantheanism are making their impress upon the minds of the conservative Negroes of this state. And they should, since they are producing tangible and enduring results. All departments of their work are healthfully growing in numbers, finance and influence. No doubts are now entailed as to whether the novel features inaugurated by these organizations are to succeed, because they are succeeding admirably. Our endowment department has a cumulating surplus that is being wisely and profitably invested. Our ladies have a substantial balance in their treasury. Our organization work has been so energetically pushed that nine new lodges has been instituted and a thousand new members added to our roll of Golden Spurred Knights, during the past twelve months. Many of these new lodges are in localities where opportunities for future growth and development are abundant. New courts have been set up for the ladies. Greater interest fresher zeal and brighter prospects are everywhere evident. To se cure these results, it has required much time, labor and expense. Pythians have learned, by observation and experience, that it pays to advertise and they are never lax in their use of Printers' Ink.
One of the most important problems to be considered at this annual meeting is the formulation of a scheme to organize Juvenile Bands for our own boys and girls. No delay is permissible but a practical plan should and must be adopted as soon as possible. Our youth must be taught, early in life, the principles of friendship and devotion that we are endeavoring to foster among ourselves.
Our plans for the future must be of a fearless and lofty conception. It is possible for the Knights of Pythias of this state to operate and sustain a Negro banking institution. They must do it. Our business, social and fraternal relationships combined with our financial strength will aid such a movement, if it is undertaken in a conservative way by reliable men. Our Giand Officers should instruct our brethren to be industrious and frugal. Urge them to establish business enterprises among themselves. After these enterprises have been established show them that they must have their patronage. An admirable trait of Pythianism is that it teaches consolidation and unification. Organizations impelled by such motives will do the race and humanity a great service. Let this spirit prevail forever.
Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd and his corps of proficient officers have labored hard to bring in good fiscal reports. Their efforts have been munificently repaid. For their services each deserves a hearty commendation for "Well Done" work.

EAR BRETHREN: Will you be so kind as to notify Rev R D Davis, of Taylor Chapel, at once as to the number of delegates who will be present from your charge during the session of the district conference.

Exceptionally Low Rates to Brighter Possibilities
The Southwest is the land of possibilities. The opportunities for men of average means are brighter here than elsewhere-you can get more for your labor or your investment. The opportune time is now while the land is cheap. The country is settling up. If you purchase land now you will soon see growing up around you a community of prosperous energetic men who like yourself have seen the brighter possibilities of the Southwest and have taken advantage of them
Along the line of the M K & T Ry in Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas are vast areas of unimproved land—land not now yielding the crops of which it is capable. The same thing in many ways, is true of the towns. Few lines of business are adequately represented. There are openings of all sorts for you. If you are in any way interested in the Southwest, I'd like to send you a copy of my free paper, "The Coming Country."
August 7th and 21st
you can make a trip Southwest exceedingly cheap. Round trip tickets good for 30 days, will be sold by all lines in connection with the M K & T Ry at not more than one fare plus $2.00: in many cases—from Chicago to San Antonio c g., the rate is $25; from St Paul $27.50; from St Louis and Kansas City $20.00—the rates are considerably lower. The tickets permit of stopovers in both directions by way M K & T Ry.
If your nearest railroad agent cannot give you the rates, write me for information,
