MINNEAPOLIS Mina Historical Society DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL Defective Page INDICATIONS OF RACE SOLIDARITY Brief Review of Leading Events Among Afro-Americans Shows Remarkable Work Along Many Lines of Activity—Great Work of Dr. J. E. Spingarn. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Civilization is the altruistic fruition of the ages and rests upon man's unselfish service to man, says Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn. He also says that faith in man is as important as faith in God and that faith in God uncompanied by faith in man is an injury, not a benefit, to human society. This is a broad statement, with a truth as broad as its meaning from whatever point of view we may discuss it. In relation to the efforts and achievements of the colored race in America Dr. Roman's lice dixit is applicable to the letter. Efficiency, preparedness and service are leading elements and essentials in the progress of nations, races and individuals toward the higher and better things of this life. The past year (1915) was one of great effort and struggle in many directions among our people and along many lines for racial betterment. Without the qualities of manhood and spiritual attitude such as we find in Dr. Roman's declaration our race could never have recorded to its credit the marvelous progress which we see and read of within the short period of fifty years as free Americans. Spingarn Makes Plea For Square Deal In the effort for equal rights and the enforcement of the law alike to all, without regard to race or color, the first gunshot of the year was fired by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Spingarn made a tour of several of the western states, which lasted through the month of January. In Chicago, Columbus, Dayton and Cleveland, O., and at Indianapolis, Ind., he spoke before the chambers of commerce and other organized business groups of prominent and influential white men on the necessity of using their influence on the side of justice for our people and in the matter of giving them an equal chance and equal pay for the same kind of labor as other groups of Americans receive. Dr. Spingarn created much favorable sentiment in our behalf. From Jan. 1 to the end of April Editor William Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian toured many of the northern and western states, speaking in the large cities against race segregation. On this tour Mr. Trotter told how a committee appointed by the Equal Rights league, of which he was chairman, made a visit in November, 1914, to Washington and there laid the matter of race segregation in the government departments before the president. The result of the conference created a national sensation from the fact that for the first time since this unjust practice had been put in force it was admitted that such a practice existed. Mr. Trotter received much praise and some criticism for the part which he took in this interview with the president. Public sentiment finally decided that it was an act in behalf of human rights and American citizenship, which were above the selfish motives of any individual and that it was performed in a legal, orderly manner and was therefore justifiable. Dr. Just Wine Spingarn Medal. Dr. Just Wins Spingarn Medal. The big event for the month of February was the annual meeting of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, held at Ethical Culture hall, New York. At this meeting Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York awarded to Dr. Ernest Everett Just, head of the department of physiology at Howard university, the first Spingarn gold medal. This trophy, which costs $100, is offered annually by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the above named association, to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. Responding to the call of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington for a national health campaign the third week in March, over two-thirds of the large organizations of various objects and alms conducted public meetings where instructive talks and addresses were made and literature on health topics was distributed. This movement was the first of its kind on so large a scale ever undertaken and in which the public evinced unusual interest. The rural communities were greatly benefited, and in several large cities the death rate among our people for the eight months following was much lower. Nine Local Business Leagues Formed. Some of the important events of April were the meeting of the fifty-first annual Delaware conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Atlantic City. N. J. Representatives from 100 churches were present, and much good was accomplished. At Baton Rouge, La., the State Colored Teachers' association held its eleventh annual meeting. Local business leagues were organized in the following cities: Canden, N. J.; Cleburne, Tex.; Springfield, Mo.; Anderson, S. C.; Brinson, Ga.; Ramer, Ala.; Staunton, Va.; Gainesville, Tex., and Mason, Tenn. The latter part of May the majority of our educational institutions closed with the graduation of large numbers of young men and women well prepared for service as teachers and leaders in the various sections of the country. The month was also notable in religious circles, especially in the south, where many associations and conferences held their annual meetings. An increase in membership, efficiency in church work and liberal giving for education, home and foreign missions were indicated by the reports rendered by the church officials. Important Meetings In June and July. Early in June commencement exercises were held at the Virginia Union university, Howard university, Wilberforce and other schools for higher training. The New England Baptist missionary convention held its annual meeting in New York, with the largest attendance, perhaps, in its history. This convention reported a large increase in the number of churches free of debt and the largest amount of money collected throughout its jurisdiction since it was organized at Providence, R. I., in 1675. The National Baptist Sunday School congress met at Birmingham, Ala., with an attendance of over 25,000. Chief among the many events which occurred in July were the annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's. Clubs, held at Syracuse, N. Y., and the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, which met in Philadelphia. The event of the month which attracted national attention, however, was the exposition held at Richmond, Va., which opened on July 5 and closed on the 27th. For this event congress appropriated $55,000. Giles B. Jackson was the chief promoter of the exposition. He received liberal financial support from the states of Virginia and New York and the hearty co-operation of many persons of prominence in the several states. Three Great National Gatherings. Three Great National Gatherings. Three big gatherings of national importance held during the month of August brought together persons from possibly every state in the Union. They were the National Negro Business league, held in Boston; the eighteenth biennial session of the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias of the World and the eighth biennial session of the encampment of the uniform rank department of the order with the Supreme Court of Calanthe, held at Columbus, O., and the opening of the Lincoln jubilee and half century celebration at Chicago, which lasted from August 22 to Sept. 16. Bishop Samuel Fallowes was president of the commission under whose auspices the celebration was held. A meeting of an other organization of great importance was that of the Ancient Order of Mysle the Shriners, held in New York. The largest religious gathering of the year was that of the national Baptist convention at Chicago in September. This convention split on the question of ownership of the National Baptist Publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. The matter is being settled by the courts of Tennessee, which have jurisdiction on account of the publishing house being located in that state and from which state its charter was secured. Educational and Legal-Matters. Among other events of the year may be mentioned the raising the curriculum of the West Virginia Colored institute to college rank and changing its name to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. The nullification by the United States supreme court of the grandfather clause in the laws of Maryland and Oklahoma was a long step forward toward law enforcement. The decision of the court created great interest throughout the nation. In commenting on the court's decision hius Lewis Perry, the noted Brooklyn lawyer, says: "By the decision of the United States supreme court in the Maryland and Oklahoma raises the man of color has come into its own again; the race has been advanced to its constitutional rights in the states south of the Mason and Dixon line. Prejudice has received its deserved rebuke and constitutional rights acknowledged. The cry of 'Watchman, what of the night?' has for its answer, 'All is well.'" The result of the annual meeting of the Negro Organization society, held at Petersburg, Va., showed the society now works through 208 organizations, classified as follows: One hundred and seven religious bodies, 112 school improvement leagues and teachers' associations, 42 fraternal orders, 5 farmers' conferences, 1 emancipation association and 1 bank. It influences more or less directly at least 50 percent of the colored people in Virginia—that is, nearly 350,000. Convention of Equal Rights League. The accounts of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., on Sunday, Nov. 14, are too familiar to the public at this time to require comment. He was recognized throughout this nation and in foreign lands as one of America's foremost men. Dr. Washington is succeeded in the principalship of the Tuskegee Institute by Major Robert R. Motton of Hampton Institute, Virginia. for many years by white writers have visited his country, accustomed to the truth about him.

STRUGGLES OF THE HAITIAN PEOPLE Thrilling Story of Long Fight Against Great Odds. TREACHERY OF THE FRENCH Chaplain Theophilus G. Steward's New Volume on Uprising In Santo Domingo Describes Bravery of Former Slaves and How They Finally Won Their Freedom. Bv JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Chaplain Theophilus G. Steward, professor of history at Wilberforce university, writes entertainingly in his book entitled "The Haitian Revolution (1701-1804), or Side Lights on the French Revolution." This book contains a thrilling description of that unique struggle by which a handful of slaves in Santo Domingo transformed themselves into free men and created the republic of Haiti. It details the life of that remarkable genius Toussaint L'Ouverture. It shows many illustrious men and martyrs to the cause of liberty. It shows a determined people fighting against armies which disregard all laws of civilized warfare, tyrants who drown prisoners and devote women and children to the murderous fangs of famished bloodhounds. It shows a humane Toussaint L'Ouverture captured through treachery. It finally shows an avenging Desailines, equal to all atrocities and declaring, "What to me is the opinion of posterity so I save my country!" I have just finished reading this book, and I cannot find words sufficiently strong in which to commend it. Dr. Steward in writing it has rendered a distinct service to the race and has given us a history of Haiti to date which will be a valuable book of reference to the student and researcher. The Army and Navy Register says of it. "No more interesting book has been written than this of Chaplain Steward on the revolution which converted the colony of Santo Domingo into the republic of Haiti, described by the author as one of the most interesting movements of modern times." Chaplain Steward has consulted numerous authorities of Haitian, American and French origin. The book is valuable as a contribution to history, and the text embodied in some fourteen chapters is accompanied by portraits of leaders and a useful map. Notable is the thrilling description of the unique struggle by which a handful of slaves created the republic of Haiti. It is quite evident that Chaplain Steward has devoted much time and thought, intelligent research and discriminating selection in the preparation of this history, which with all its veracity has the engaging quality of romance. Now that Haiti is again very much in the public eye and its future is hanging in the balance as a result of internal disorders, due very largely to outside interference, this book should hold some interest for those who would know the truth and especially what manner of man the Haitian is. He has been maligned and misrepresented. --- for many years by white writers who have visited his country, accepted his hospitality and preferred to distort the truth about him. Dr. Steward, looking at him through the eyes of a Negro, palms him as he is, faults and all, and reveals him to us in his true character—that of a man who is neither worse nor better than the average of humankind. I hope that it will find a place in the libraries of every home among our people who would know something of this struggling little republic and of the heroic efforts of the men who made it possible THE VOICE OF OUR NATION. Views of a Philadelphia Organization on Problem of Equal Rights. The Cosmopolitan Literary and Liberal league of Philadelphia in its declaration of principles as announced by its secretary, Dr. Caesar A. A. P. Taylor, makes the following statement in its discussion of legal rights for all American citizens without regard to race or color: This nation at its birth saluted a startled and listening world by announcing the sublime and glorious truth that "all men are created free and equal and endowed by the Maker with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Its voice then was as the trump of an archangel, summoning hoary forms of oppression and time honored tyranny to judgment. Crowned heads heard it and shrieked. Tolling millions heard it and clapped their hands for joy. It announced the advent of a nation based upon human brotherhood and the self-evident truths of liberty and equality. Its mission was the redemption of the world from the bondage of ages, and yet, despite this announcement, it was a nation but half free. It started all right in theory, but it was hypocritical in practice. Moses, the greatest of all lawgivers and legislators, said while his face was yet radiant with the light of Sinai, "Whoso stealth a man and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." The destroying angel has already gone through this land to execute the fearful penalties of God's broken law. The representatives of the nation have bowed with reverence to the Divine edict and laid the ax at the foot of the tree and thus saved succeeding generations from the guilt of oppression and from the wrath of God. Statesmen, jurists and philosophers most renowned for learning and most profound in every department of science and literature have testified against slavery, while oratory has brought its costliest golden treasures and laid them on the altar of God and of freedom. It has aimed its fiercest lightning and loudest thunder at the strengthens of tyranny, injustice and despotism. From the days of Balak to those of Isaiah and Jeremiah, up to the times of Paul and through every age of the Christian church, the sons of thunder have denounced the abominable thing. The heroes who stood in the shining ranks of the hosts of the friends of freedom and progress, from Cicerio to Chatham and Burke, Sharp, Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson and Curran, assaulted the citadel of despotism. The orators and statesmen of our own land, whether they belong to the past or to the present age, will live and shine in the annals of history in proportion as they have dedicated their genius and talents to the defense of justice and man's God given rights. The solution of the whole problem involving both the white man and the black man is simple justice, a recognition of the fact that the rights of the humblest citizen are as worthy of protection as those of the highest. Apply this method and the problem will be solved. And whatever may be in store for this nation in the future, whether prosperity or adversity, whether there be foes within or foes without, whether there shall be peace or war, based upon the eternal principles of truth, justice and humanity, with no class having cause for complaint or grievance, our republic will stand and flourish. Well Known Inventors of Our Race. Granville T. Woods and Elijah McCoy are among the best known inventors of the colored race. There have been issued to Mr. McCoy twenty-eight patents from the United States patent office for his inventions of various kinds, and Mr. Woods is widely known for his success in inventing telephone and telegraph appliances, for which there is a large demand. Persistence of Miss Lydia B. Conley. Miss Lydia B. Conley, an Indian woman of Kansas City, Mo., was recently admitted to practice before the United States supreme court. Miss Conley is a member of the Wrendette tribe. BAPTISTS TO MEET IN WASHINGTON Committee on State of Country For Large and Influential Religious Organization Plans For a Determined Fight on Race Disfranchisement. Fine Program Arranged. By N.

Copies of the printed report of the committee will be delivered to every member of congress the day on which the convention is held. The object of the meeting is to make an unqualified fight against the disfranchisement of the colored men of the country as practiced in many states of the Union. The afternoon session will be called to order by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, minister of the Mount Carmel Baptist church of this city. The presiding officer will be the Rev. Dr. W. B. Reed of Newport, R. L, chairman of the committee. The Rev. W. J. Lucas of Flushing, N. E., will be the first speaker. His subject is "Disfranchisement Makes a Man a Subject Citizen." The Rev. W. J. Winston of Baltimore will open the discussion on the subject. REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, D. D. "Disfranchisement Makes Subject Citizens Targets of the Mob and Disarms Them In the Courts." The Rev. James E.

D., of Hartford, Conn., corresponding secretary of the convention, will speak on the ballot as the basis of political ascendancy, and Professor R. C.

The society contemplates buying 4,000 acres of rich bottom land in the near future, which it will divide into districts for farming purposes and stock raising. Mr. Ewing is widely known in the southwest and is often referred to as the "potato king" of the Kaw valley. THE BAPTIST CONVENTION DECISION. Judge Smith rendering decision. JONES FACTION WINS IN COURT. Decision in Chicago rendered this week sustained the contentions of E. P. Jones and followers, making them the National Baptist Convention. Chicago, January 10th.—A decision rendered in the courts of Chicago today by Judge Smith sustained the demurrer of attorneys Walter M. Farmer of this city, and Wm. Harrison, of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist Convention of which E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., was elected president. It will be remembered that during the month of September last year the Baptist held a convention in this city and divided into two parts over a charter gotten out by seven men. A majority of one hundred fifty or more votes in the Convention showed that the strength of the Convention was against the charter, whereupon Dr. Morris and his followers left the chair and the Convention immediately elected E. P. Jones and an entirely new set of officers. The incorporated Convention led by Dr. Morris got out an injunction to prevent the people from using the name National Baptist Convention. The case has been hanging file and the decision today by the court is far-reaching, as it tears down and virtually eliminates the incorporated faction as a national body. The contest was sharp and prolonged. Able counsel represented both sides, but in the demurrer offered by the attorneys for the Jones faction every contention made and the five points of law presented were upheld. President Jones was reached by wire in Philadelphia and expressed himself as well pleased, declaring that he knew the will of the majority of the Baptist would be sustained. It is said that this decision puts the incorporated faction to rout. It is learned that President Jones will call a meeting of his advisors consisting of the chairmen and the secretaries of the various Boards, together with the elective officers to meet in Nashville at an early date. ATTY. FRANCIS TO SPEAK. Atty. W. T. Francis of St. Paul has been invited to address the Men's Club of the German Methodist Church at their dinner at the church on Jan. 18th.

Samuel Lucas, aged 75, died at his home in New York City, this week. He was the oldest Negro comedian and had appeared on the stage during past 50 years. PRESIDENT REFUSES TO APPOINT NEGRO President Wilson refused to appoint a Negro as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. He informed Bishop Walters the Democratic leader this week. Many Negroes have held this position, but the President says that the Senate would not confirm a Negro. Poor Stuff. "I see that Jones has failed. Has he any assets?" "Nothing of any value; the inventory which he filed with his position in bankruptcy shows he had 220 wedding presents." Brooklyn Citizen ST. PAUL REPRESENTATIVE. Fred. D.

Among the sonnets written by Theodore Tilton to the memory of Fred Douglas appears the following fine lines: I knew the proudest giants of my day. And he was of them—strong amid the strong.

Thee also do I hate. * * * A lover's lay—no dirge, no doleful requiem song— In what I owe him, for I loved him long. As dearly as a younger brother may. Proud is the happy grief with which I sing. For, O my country, in the paths of men There never walked a grander man than be! He is a peer of princes—yes, a king. Crowned in the shambles and the prison pen. The poorest slave that ever God set free! MRS. ISABELLA GRISSOM. Obituary. Mrs. Isabella Grissom died Jan. 8, 2:30 P. M. at Bethesda Hospital, St. Paul, following an operation for gall stones and appendicitis. Her death cast a gloom upon her numerous friends of the Twin Cities and wrapped her relatives in the habiliments of mourning. The deceased was born June 3rd, 1842 at Napoleon, Arkansas, the youngest of seven children of Robert and Emeline Love. Miss Isabella Love at the age of 14 became the wife of John Smith and after his death was 4 years subsequently married to Joseph Marcus Grissom, at Cincinnati, Ohio, who after a half century of wedded life replete with love and happiness passed away seven years ago. Eleven children were born to Isabella and Joseph Grissom, two of which are living, Geo. R. Grissom and Mrs. Harriet Isabelle Hall of St. Paul. Mrs. Grissom also leaves five grandchildren, Joseph, George and Warren Grissom and Dorothy and Ermine Hall, who mourn their loss. Nearly all her life she was a Christian and was an ardent worker in the church. She was conscious to the end, and the same tranquil hopefulness marked the end that made her so lovable in life. Her friends as well as family mourn her death. THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. Home Training Most Important. Says Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the womanhood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian religion really is he too often practices one thing and preaches another. Often the foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her less ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and discredit religion. This misrepresentation of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and ragtime music in her home. She is loose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor becomes a woman of the street. Her home is a hangout for "sliding elders" and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and women and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church. They sit in the front heat, chew gum, talk and keep their "gang" giggling. To speak to them is to throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the choristers. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These children of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble. What we need is a new type of women in our homes as mothers, and a new type of women in our churches as leaders and examples for the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelling, mouth running, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be delivered. TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON. Late Educator Was People's Friend, Says John E. Bush. Referring to the remarks made by the Board of Trade Bulletin at Little Rock, Ark., on the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Hon. John E. Bush national grand secretary of the Mosaic Templars of America, says Dr. Washington was a great and good man, a friend of all the people, regardless of race or color. He was one of the greatest men of this country. Speaking of Mr. Bush, the Bulletin says: "John E. Bush is a leader of the colored men in Little Rock and the state of Arkansas, and when in Little Rock the late Booker T Washington and John E. Bush were inseparable. Mr. Bush was a former collector of public money at Little Rock and is one of the leaders in the work of the National Negro Business league." CONSUL PAYNE RETURNS. American Representative at St. Thomas Was on Furlough. The Hon. C. H. Payne, American consul at St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, who came to the United States on a visit to his family in October last, has returned to his post of duty. Mr. Payne was on a sixty days' furough, and he made good use of the time in seeing his old friends at his home in Huntington, W. Va.; his two daughters, who reside at Hinton, and a son at Cincinnati. He has been in the United States service for the past twelve years and is regarded as a man of high character and efficiency. His record in the consular service ranks high, and he is known for his loyalty to the letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States. While Mr. Payne has done some exceptional work since being in office, he is not given to publicity and only cares to know that he is doing his duty to the satisfaction of his government. During his stay with Mrs. Payne at their home in Huntington Mr. Payne, by invitation of Professor Byrd Prillerman of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, visited the institute as the guest of the professor and Mrs. Prillerman and delivered an address to the students. The Hon. Mr. Payne is not only a capable and studious man of national affairs, but is also a minister, with the degree of doctor of divinity. Dr. Payne delivered a most helpful sermon to the student body at the West Virginia Collegiate institute and also gave an instructive, address on his work as American consul at St. Thomas. He is among the oldest men in point of service in the consulate and keeps in close touch with the many rapid changes of sentiment and policy of world powers as events occur. Dr. Payne was much impressed with the students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute and the good work they are doing in all departments of the school. MOURN FOR WASHINGTON. The Late Tuskegee Principal Had Matchlee Career, Saye "Life." "Life" speaks of Dr. Booker T. Washington in the following glowing terms: "Very little is necessary to be said about Booker Washington. He is the most lasting American who has died in a long time. He never held a political office, never influenced an election that is known of, never yielded to the delusion that salvation comes by votes, but where shall one match in a contemporary career the sum of his accomplishment in thirty-five years for this country? "Mourn for Booker Washington! It is to lament that his years were not more, but they sufficed for a prodigious work." North Carolina Society's Reception.

Topeka.—Twenty of the 105 Kansas counties have no poor farms or indigent poor, while in other counties the poor farms are self supporting, according to a report made by J. W. Howe, secretary of the state board of control. In the year ending July 1 the various counties in Kansas cared for only 900 paupers, the report says. Pending the construction of new quarters at the Winfield Hospital For the Feeble Minded a number of insane and feeble minded patients have been cared for by individual counties. As a result there were ten more inmates of poor farms this year than last year. In the year ending July 1, say the report, there were nineteen children in the county institution as against fourteen the previous year. It is said that the Bank of France has an invisible studio in a gallery behind the cashiers, so that at a given signal from one of them any suspected customer can instantly have his photograph taken without his knowledge.

READ THE STAR, IT'S NEWSY OLD HOMESTEAD OF DOUGLASS NEW LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT Will of the Great Anti-slavery Agitator Was Not Properly Drawn—Death Defeated the Good Intentions of Mrs. Douglass—Time For Race Loyalty to Assert Itself. Washington.—There have been a number of inquiries, says Ralph W. Tyler of this city, as to the existing mortgage on the old home here of the late Frederick Douglass. Many cannot understand why the home should rest under a mortgage when Mr. Douglass was supposed to have been quite well off at his death. The estate of Mr. Douglass did mount up to quite a sum at his death. A defective will, made defective by an insufficient number of witnesses, caused the property to be distributed according to law rather than according to the will of the testator. The widow of Mr. Douglass desired that the old house, containing a museum of anti-slavery and Douglass relics, the furniture, books, manuscripts and curios of the great orator, publicist and anti-slavery leader, should be bequeathed to the race as a memorial to her husband. To do this it was necessary for her to buy in the home from the other heirs that she might have a clear title to it. This she did, giving $15,000 for the old homestead on Cedar hill. In order to make the purchase, however, it was necessary for her to borrow money with which to purchase the equity of the other heirs. She died before she could pay off that mortgage. In her last will and testament she bequeathed the home, with all its rich and priceless possessions, to the race Mr. Douglass had fearlessly championed and served. She might have bequeathed it to her own relatives, but she choose to will it to the THE DOUGLASS HOMESTEAD. race with which her husband was identified. This tells how that mortgage happened to be placed on the old home of the great leader. By act of congress a board of trustees was created to have charge of the home, but it came to these congressionally provided administrators with a mortgage and without funds to even keep up repairs, the result being that the once handsome home, the once fine old estate, is rapidly passing to decay and the mortgage is pressing for payment. Several attempts have been made to arouse sufficient interest on the part of the race to pay off this mortgage and put the home in proper repair in order first to save the home to the race and to preserve the historical relics, etc., it contains, but not sufficient has been contributed to even keep up the interest on the debt. It is figured that if $15,000 is raised by the race it will be sufficient to pay off the mortgage and restore the building and estate to its former beauty and make of the home a historical and memorial site to be visited by thousands each year, just as the old home of George Washington at Mount Vernon is maintained as a historical retreat. There are fifteen acres in the Douglass estate, and it occupies the most beautiful point in all Washington, overlooking the Potomac, as it does, and being within ten minutes' ride of the White House or the halls of congress. But unless the race responds to the last appeal, and responds quickly, the old home may be lost. By the terms of the will it can be no other than a memorial to Mr. Douglass, free to the public, and consequently has no earning power. When it ceases to be that—in case the mortgage should be foreclosed—the old Douglass homestead will pass from the race. Roman Catholic Church Aids Our Race. The good work which the Roman Catholic church is doing among the colored people of that faith in some sections of the country is causing Protestant denominations which are engaged in a similar work to look well to their laurels. Attention has been especially called to the large and increasing number of colored people in New Orleans who are of the Roman Catholic persuasion.

Minneapolis De Defective Pag ective Page SEGREGATION IN EDUCATION FOSTERS RACE PREJUDICE, Philadelphia Tribune Sees Danger In Stressing Vocational Training. The Philadelphia Tribune sees danger in the putting of too much stress on vocational training for colored youth as against the opportunities offered for academic or higher education. The Tribune says: At the Thomas Durham public school, Sixteenth and Lombard streets, the largest segregated school in this city, it has been definitely settled that the introduction of vocational training for at least 400 of the 1,200 pupils that attend that school will begin next January. If the experiment succeeds a similar course will in all probability follow in each of the fourteen separate schools throughout the city. While the gradual return of the distinctive segregated schools in this city seems inevitable, there seems to be a growing sentiment, nevertheless, on the part of a large majority of colored citizens in opposition to the continual growth. They view it with alarm, and many regard the proposed innovation of vocational training as a direct blow at the aspiration for higher education and a more general acceptance by them in the north of Dr. Booker T. Washington's idea that industrial education is best for at least the next century. The intelligent people of color know that separate schools are breeders of race prejudice; that such schools serve to create a spirit of disrespect in the mind of one class for the other. The question is asked and even now awaits an answer. How may one foster the spirit of genuine good will between classes educated in separate schools? The division of classes, or races, if you please, in so called public schools is not only unfair to the taxpayer, white and colored alike, because it is bound in due season to increase their burdens, but it also gives an impetus to race prejudices. The intelligent colored citizen travels and observes that in every city where the separate school system is in vogue race hatred has grown apace. Doubtless intelligent white citizens know this to be true and are anxious to do everything in their power to encourage the growth of race hatred, hence are desirous of adding any feature in the public school curriculum that tends toward that end. Whether or not the system begun in this city in 1881, when the law enforcing the creation of mixed schools was passed, has been a success or failure after an experiment of a quarter of a century seems not to be the question, but rather it seems to be the thought of the school authorities to fit the colored boy and girl for work, as they realize how exceedingly difficult it is for the colored youth after graduation to obtain, in the open competition of trade, such occupational relation to society as will give him a chance to earn a livelihood. But even after graduation the colored youth who has been given the chance to work alongside of the white boy at his trade has a better opportunity to demonstrate his ability and build up a strong line of friendship with members of the dominant race than he could possibly have in a segregated school.

He laughs at you fellows who are silly enough to listen to them.—Illustrated Bits. SERVICE FOR WASHINGTON. Hampton Institute Official Refers to Dead Educator as Prophet. Hampton, Va.—The Rev. Laurence Fennlinger, associate chaplain of Hampton institute, conducted the memorial service which was held in Memorial church at 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning, Nov. 17, while the funeral service for Dr. Booker T. Washington was being conducted at Tuskegee in situte, in Alabama. Rev. Mr. Fenninger said: "In this place, where he was so well known, and to you who knew him so well, it would not be fitting for me to speak of Dr. Washington. I did not know him intimately, but I will always cherish the memory of the few times I met him. He impressed me chiefly as a prophet, as a man with all the rare blessings of the prophet. He had eyes that saw, ears that heard and a heart that understood. And it was just these blessings that he endeavored to share with his fellow men. He strove to give sight to blind eyes, to unstop deaf ears, to blind up and fill with hope ears that were broken. "As I think of him my mind goes back to that great schoolmaster and leader of English thought, Thomas Arnold, the old headmaster of Rugby. And I know of no better or truer tribute that we could offer to Dr. Washington than to say of him as was said of Thomas Arnold: "It, in the paths of the world, Stones might have wounded thy feet Toll or dejection have tried Thy spirit, of that we saw Nothing. To us you were still Chatham, light and firm! Therefore to thee it was given Many to save with myself At the end of the thy day, O faithful shepherd, to come, Bringing thy sheep in thy hand." He also read the lines of Paul Laurence Dunbar on Dr. Booker T. Washington. The choir sang a number of the plantation melodies, including "I Want to Be Ready" "In Bright Manions Above." "Let the Heaven Light Shine on Me" and "O Freedom!" Children often suffer from homeschiness when away from home, and if the conditions continue after a reasonable length of time they should be humored—not that a child should be encouraged in remaining tied to its mother's apron strings all its life, but the first visits away from the maternal roof should be very carefully arranged, so as not to have a disastrous effect upon the happiness of future visits and subsequent mortification and unhappiness, which sometimes last all one's life. Children are lonely little creatures, and as their lives are usually very regular any departure from the daily routine is very upsetting. It is as well for a child to be so used to going to sleep by himself from the first and to learn to help himself as soon as possible. But, no matter how carefully guarded a child is, there may come a time when he will hear some silly talk from the maids or from other children about burglaries or ghosts or other nocturnal frights, which will upset in an instant all the sensible mother training, with subsequent difficulty in getting to sleep and need for mother's constant presence. There is no use in scolding a child for such fears, for often grown persons have them, although you will find that most adult sufferers have had them from childhood. Happy now is the mother who has made her children open with her. She alone can overcome these bedtime fancies by judicious comforting, sensible thrashing out of the subject and diversion in the way of introduction of other stories at bedtime. But if a nervous child must for some reason be sent away or intrusted to another's care at night let the bedtime companion be carefully chosen. Children are much afraid of ridicule and store up many hopes and fears in their own little hearts to be worried over at bedtime. When mother is not there to comfort the homesickness may be very severe at that time, and somebody who knows how to cope with the situation can do much to overcome it. It is an excellent plan always to give a baby its water from a teaspoon rather than from a bottle, because in this way even a tiny baby will learn to drink from a spoon—an invaluable knowledge when it is necessary to give medicine. When a child is sick the kidney are only too prone to be affected, and it is essential to provide plenty of water, especially in cases like scarlet fever, where kidney complications are more usual than not. A child with a tendency to constipation or any stomach trouble should be encouraged to drink plenty of water. If it rebels against a full glass give half or even a quarter of a glass at a time, and make a game of it. It is just as important to provide good drinking water as good food, and for the first few days at a new place one should make the children drink rather sparingly until the properties of the water have become familiar. A Word to the Sunburned. Sunburn is often extremely painful. In many cases where a girl has been out in the sun practically all day the skin blisters and causes very real suffering. It is a wise girl who knows how to care for her own sunburn, for she will save herself a good bit of pain by doctoring it at once. When you return to the office after a day in the open and find your arms, neck and face all rose colored from the sun don't stop to question why, but start in treating it at once. The burn never hurts the first day, and sometimes it does not the second day, but you will certainly get it the third unless you are very careful. Don't wait until the skin begins to itch and smart before you put on a cream, but at the first sign of rose color, where white usually is, start your doctoring. Cocoa butter is excellent to take the sting out of sunburn, and witch hazel cream is another fine emollient. Rub either one in well at the first appearance of the burn and then again the next day, and you will not be bothered much by the pain and itch. If you are well burned and do not attend to the skin at once you will find that the smart and sting once begun are almost impossible to stop. After the flesh has begun to prickle and itch you will probably pile on creams, but nothing does very much good until the burn has worn itself out. The two remedies mentioned may help to relieve pain, but they will not stop it unless applied the first day. One of the best and simplest lotions for making the hair-curl is made of quince seeds. When it dries it leaves a fine powder on the hair like dandruff, but this may be easily brushed off. To make this fluid take a tablespoonful of quince seeds, brushed, to a pint of soft water, which is boiled gently until the amount is reduced to three gills. It is then strained, and when cold two tablespoonfuls of cologne and alcohol are added. Moisten the hair with the fluid before putting up in kid curlers. Another formula which has given satisfaction consists of borax, one ounce; gum arable, one dram; hot water, one pint; spirits of camphor, two tablespoonfuls. When the first three are dissolved add the camphor and when the mixture is cold better TWIN CITY STAR PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Yawning as a Stimulant. Dr. Naegell, professor of medicine at Llege university, commends the practice of yawning as a physical reviver. A good yawn, the professor maintains, is excellent for the lungs and for all the breathing organs as well. But there is an art in yawning, he says, just as there is an art in breathing. Every yawn should be as deep as possible, so as to bring all the muscles of the throat and chest into action, and also to fill the lungs with a current of fresh air. Dr. Naegell has known of many cases in which a sore throat has been alleviated by persistent yawning. HEZEKIAH'S MEMORY. It Was Subjected to a Severe Test, but it Stood the Strain. I once heard of an old negro named Hezeekiah, who, it was said, had the most wonderful memory ever known to man. Indeed, it was so great that the devil, it is said, was envious of it and often dreamed of how much better he could conduct the affairs of his dominion at home and abroad if he only had Hezeekiah's memory. Hezeekiah had let it be known that if at any time anybody should ever catch him forgetting anything that somebody could have his power of memory. This is where the devil saw his chance and laid his plans. So one day the "old scratch" dressed himself in citizen's clothes and approached Hezeekiah where he was plowing in his field. Each greeted the other and passed the compliments of the day; then presently the devil said: "Hezekiah, of all the good things that there are in the world to eat, what one thing do you like best?" After a moment of reflection Hezekiah replied, "Chicken." Without further words the devil turned and walked away. He stayed away from Hezekiah for twenty years. Then one morning somewhat as before he approached him as he was there at work in his field. He looked at him for a moment and said, "How?" Hezekiah looked up, scratched his head, smiled a little and replied, "Fried."—Birmingham News. Wasted Knowledge.

SIX GOOD REASONS Why You Should Join The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 1. It teaches that race prejudice is the most evil thing in the world today and that "Jim Crow" cars, race segregation, anti-intermarriage laws and all other manifestations of it are unchristian and cruel efforts of the stronger to oppress the weaker. 2. It combats in the courts, state legislatures, the Halls of Congress, the government departments and everywhere the spirit of persecution against the Colored People which grows out of race prejudice. 3. It aims to bring about such a healthy public sentiment in this land that Colored People will be accorded all their social, civil and political rights and will receive exact justice in all the relations of life. 4. It believes in and teaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the equality of all races in our American civilization. 5. It aims to uphold the honor of our women by opposing the passage of anti-race inter-marriage laws. 6. It is composed of members of both races and sexes on terms of complete equality and as brothers and sisters in this holy cause of freedom. · An Appeal for Funds.

Promoters of Proposed Summer Resort In Michigan Should Be Broadminded The movement recently started by a group of prominent colored men to clear up the ground and erect suitable buildings for a summer resort on the shores of Crooked lake, near White Cloud, Mich. to be ready for the season of 1916, has many good features. But if the promoters should decide finally to confine the benefits to be derived from the resort to our race only, without regard to the business enterprises usually carried on at such resorts, it may hinder rather than help the project. The sentiment of the race generally, says N. B. Dodson, is against drawing the color line. The race is fully capable of maintaining ownership of its business enterprises, educational and religious institutions without drawing the line. If white people desire to patronize our institutions of whatever kind under our management they should be permitted to do so. Co-operation is the watchword of the times. The proposed summer resort should be a purely business movement. Those who are indebted to us will please forward a part of their subscriptions.

AGITATING FOR JUSTICE. Hen. H. C. Smith Continues Fight on Race Segregation In Ohio. Cleveland, O.-The editor of the Gazette of this city, Hon. Harry C. Smith, has been "stirring up the animals" again—those holdover state officials under Governor Willis' administration who seem determined not only to continue discrimination against Afro-Americans in certain state institutions, but also continue insults along the line started many months ago and temporarily discontinued for a short time at the request of the governor on suggestion of Editor Smith. Recently the latter received several letters from the governor, which he has published in his paper, showing his most recent fight (the third one) to compel the secretary of the state medical board to discontinue his demand that applicants to practice a limited branch of medicine or surgery in Ohio should send to the board their photographs. He was compelled several months ago to discontinue asking that said applicants state their color in answering questions propounded on the board's application blanks, which it furnished on request. Photograph requests were to supply what the elimination of the "color of the skin" request from the application blank made it impossible for the secretary of the board to get. Mr. Smith wrote the governor, when objecting to the color and photograph requests of the Ohio medical board through its secretary, that such a course "savors so much of the most repreensible one being followed at Washington in the case of applicants for positions under the civil service, the purpose of which is so obvious," that it should not be tolerated in Ohio of all the states in the Union. Governor Frank B. Willis agreed with him and promptly put an end to the discrimination along that line recently. The governor has, too, replaced T. P. Riddle, director of the "Ohio corn boys' special" party, for insisting upon the latter seeing a certain photo play while visiting in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, contrary to his urgent request that this be not done. The governor even threatened to withdraw his promise to deliver an address in Philadelphia to the "Ohio corn boys" and their excursionist guests on that day if the trip to view the photo play was not stricken from the official program prepared by Mr. Riddle. It was taken from the program, all right, but after the governor left Columbus on the 8 p. m. train Director Riddle saw to it, as he wrote Hon. Harry C. Smith under date of Dec. 4, 1915, that all who wished to do so saw the photo play. The editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gasette has renewed his fight on the segregation started in two state institutions a couple of years ago—the Girls' Industrial home at Delaware and the Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans' home at Xenia—and has called upon the aggressive and brilliant governor of Ohio to put an end to this insulting, disgraceful and unnecessary discrimination, with splendid prospects of favorable results. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE'S ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. National Organization Holds Eighth Annual Meeting In Philadelphia. The eighth annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league, held for three days in Philadelphia, closed on Wednesday evening, Dec. 15, with an exercise commemorative of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the United States constitution. There were many men and women of national prominence in attendance, and much public interest was manifested in the work of the organization. The address to the country is in part as follows: It is on the fiftieth anniversary of the final and constitutional abolition of chattel slavery in the United States of America that we, American citizens of color, assemble in Philadelphia, the state of the great reconstruction statesman, Thaddeus Stevens, who carried the thirteenth amendment through our national house of representatives. After a half century of freedom, during which the colored American has achieved remarkable educational, religious and business progress and demonstrated the highest human possibilities, the National Equal Rights league in eighth annual meeting assembled finds that Americans of African descent are still denied in many sections of the land their legal rights: By law the right to vote on the same terms as others, native and naturalized; by practice the right to enter places of public accommodation and resort; by law the right to use public facilities without the indignity of racial discrimination; by law the right to reside, even in their own property, adjacent to their fellow citizens; by action of the federal government the right to work beside and to use the necessary health accessories with other employees of the federal government in some government buildings at the national capital; by practice the right of trial by court and jury when accused of crime. Therefore we issue this call to action to the proscribed and oppressed and to all others who believe in liberty, equality of rights and human brotherhood. Colored Americans, begin the second half century of legal freedom by combining to organize, agitate and vote, where permitted, for the preservation of that freedom, that enjoyment of identical civil and political rights with others, that exemption from galling discriminations in the public life, which were bought at the price of billions of treasure and of the health and lives of millions of white and colored patriots Let us here resolve that under God we shall use our voices, our pens, our patronage, our votes, our money and every resource that God has put in our power for the abolition of segregation, disfranchisement and lynching on the color line, undismayed that a president rules in the White House unwilling, despite his pre-election pledge, to rise above the narrow provincial color prejudice of section. Let us face the forces of prejudice and, spurring the bribe ever offered for voluntary segregation, honor the deeds of the abolitionists and refuse to sell our birthright for a mess of pottage. To our fellow Americans of every race we appeal for an equal chance and fair play. Friends of the republic, save free institutions, save the fruits of the civil war, save the fair name of our common country now besmirched by worse prescription than in any civilized land. Demand incessantly that race and color discrimination shall cease and there shall not in the boasted land of the free be a reversion to a caste of color, now reaching even into the national government. The officers of the league for 1910 are the following named persons: President, Rev. Byron Gunner, New York; recording secretary, Dr. J. L. Johnson, Ohio; assistant recording secretary, Maurice W. Spencer, Delaware; corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, Massachusetts; treasurer, Thomas Walker, District of Columbia; financial secretary, Dr. William A. Sinclair, Pennsylvania; national organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New York; assistant organizer, Rev. J. E. Churchman, New Jersey; chaplain, Rev. E. George Biddle, Connecticut; vice presidents, Rev. M. W. Thornton, Massachusetts; William D. Brigham, Massachusetts; Francis Warren, Michigan; W. Ashby Hawkins, Maryland; Rev. E. W. Moore, Pennsylvania; George W. Ellis, Illinois; Rev. W. F. Graham, Pennsylvania; and Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, Pennsylvania. Brooklyn Smart Set's Crack Sprinter. Harry M. Martin of the Smart Set Athletic club of Brooklyn has a long string of victories to his credit. He makes high hurdling his specialty and has won in most of the events in which he has competed. At Washington park, in Brooklyn, he won the 120 yard high and also the low events. One day he won the 100 yard dash in 10 1: 5 seconds and was first in the 220 yard low hurdles, in which he lowered the record to 204-5 seconds. At the national juniors in Baltimore in Septem- ber he won the low and came third in the 440 yard special. James Herring as Landscape Painter. The colored race has produced a number of sculptors and painters who have attained high rank in their profession. Among the landscape painters who won prizes during 1915 is James Herring, who was awarded first prize among twenty-five artists exhibiting at Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. Herring has received many encouraging letters from artists of note congratulating him upon TWIN CITY STAR HIGH HONOR FOR FERGUSON. Young West Virginian Elected Class Orator at Ohio University. Daniel Leroy Ferguson, a graduate of the West Virginia College institute, of which Professor Byrd Prillerman is the efficient and popular president, entered the agricultural college of the Ohio State university in the fall of 1912. Within a few weeks thereafter the director of physical education became convinced that Mr. Ferguson had the qualifications for an athlete. Ferguson ranked sixth in the strength tests for the freshman class, which consisted of 1,200 students. In the spring of 1913 Mr. Ferguson came out for the freshman track team and won all the events in which he contested. During his second year at the university he made a place on the varsity track team. This was the first time that a colored student had been on the team in this university. This feat entitled him to membership in the western conference, thus giving him the honor of being the first long distance runner among colored men to be admitted to this conference. In [Name] DANIEL LEBOY FERGUSON. case the plans of the coach are disarranged he can always count on Ferguson to run any distance from one-half mile to five miles. Critics say this young man is one of the most consistent runners in the western conference. Mr. Ferguson is a self supporting student. He has worked at one of the fraternity houses ever since he entered this school and has been able to realize a sufficient amount to defray all expenses. He has been a great helper to his fellow students. Many have found work through his influence. In 1914 there was organized in this university the Ohio State Jubilee Singers. This organization was effected after the persistent efforts of Mr. Ferguson to get a representative band of colored singers for the university. At present he is the efficient head of these singers, president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and a member of the Varsity Ohio association. The culmination of Mr. Ferguson's college career was reached on Oct. 8, 1915, when he was elected class orator over one of the most active and prominent seniors on the campus. This is the first time in the history of the Ohio State university that this distinction has gone to a colored student. The public awaits in great anxiety the unfolding of this young man's career. He has the proper attitude toward his fellow man and the moral courage to stand for his earnest convictions. Mr. Ferguson's home is at Institute, W. Va., and the West Virginia Collegiate institute is proud of his achievements. NEW RACE ORGANIZATION. National Fraternal Congress to Be Formed at Cincinnati. The generous response to the invitation of the committee of the National Negro Press association for the organization of a national congress of Negro fraternities has assured the committee that the time is ripe for such an organization. The need of it is so obvious to all thinking fraternal men and women that argument here would be an adverse reflection upon their intelligence. The fraternal congress will meet at Cincinnati on Feb. 7 and 8. This meeting is called on these dates because the National Negro Press association will meet at Nashville, Tenn. the same week (Feb. 10-12), and this will give opportunity for delegates interested in both meetings to attend them conveniently. Each grand lodge organization in every state, of whatever society, is requested to send one delegate. Many of these organizations have already elected delegates. Dr. E. E. Underwood, Frankfort, Ky.; Hon. R. B. McRary, Lexington, N. C., and Professor E. H. McKissack, Holly Springs. Miss. have been designated as a committee to draw up a tentative constitution and bylaws for consideration. All delegates and visitors who expect to attend the meeting should write Dr. E. A. Williams, P. O. box 753, Cincinnati, for assignment to homes. A national congress of Negro fraternities will and ought to be the most potential organization of the race for self help and notice to the country that the race has learned the lesson of the strength of union and is now constantly in the watchtower scanning the horizon for opportunities to further the progress of the race. The call for the congress is signed by Joseph L. Jones and Dr. E. A. Williams, Cincinnati, and W. E. King, Dallas, Tex. In happiness there are far more regions unknown than there are in misfortune. The voice of misfortune is ever the same; happiness becomes more silent as it penetrates deeper. He is happiest who best understands his happiness, for he is of all men most fully aware that it is only the lofty idea, the uniring, courageous human idea, that separates gladness from sorrow.—Vaterlink. TASK FOR THE NATIONS. Ray Stannard Baker's Plaa For Human Brotherhood. Ray Stannard Baker in a recent issue of the American Magazine has the following to say about prejudice of one race against another: "Why will men not see that there can be no true civilization while any men in the world are left out of it and that no race and no nation can go far forward while other races and nations lag behind? "Let the white person again tread the black person under his heel! (Say, which is trodden under heel after all?) "It is not enough that we give the alien nations our learning, our religion, our science. What signify all these things? Are we hurt by giving them? Are we not, on the contrary, the material gainers? No; we must be prepared to go further than that. else we have not learned the fundamental concept of religion. "It is not the great task of any nation that it shall remain pure or white or learned or that it shall assure to its posterity the possession of land and comfort, though this has been the belief and the doom of every aristocracy from the beginning of time. The great task of every advanced race or nation is to bring more love, more light, into the world. "A stand for racial aristocracy means war, hatred, barren exclusiveness and finally degeneration and failure; a stand for racial democracy and brotherhood means love in the world, friendliness, sacrifice, new fertility, a wider sweep for faith and final triumph. Individuals may suffer in the process, nations may perish, but civilization, the kingdom of humanity, will grow, will become more beautiful. "We are willing to do everything for Chinamen or Hindus or for our own poor, except the one essential thing. Yes, educate them (a little); yes, teach them the religion of resignation; yes, give them shoes and coats, but do not disturb us in our luxury. "It won't work; it won't work. So long as we refuse to give ourselves we have failed utterly." BIG SUM FOR EDUCATION. Beecher Memorial Association in Brooklyn Aids Talladega College. The Beecher Memorial association of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, raised $50,000 in November for the endowment fund of the Talladega (Ala.) college. This action was taken by the association on account of the great interest which Henry Ward Beecher, famous minister of Plymouth church, in his lifetime manifested in the freedom from slavery and the subsequent education of the colored people. The campaign for funds lasted for ten days, and there were many generous responses made by the public to the appeal of the campaign workers. Previous to the beginning of the campaign a public meeting was held at Plymouth church, at which the work and needs of Talladega college were explained. The institution was founded forty-eight years ago by the American Missionary association for the education and training of the youth of our race. The school farm comprises 750 acres, and among the various buildings are a hospital and nurses' training school, a Carnegie library and an industrial building for the boys and girls. The enrollment is about 750, and there are forty teachers. Talladega has graduated several hundred young men and women and has sent forth thousands of others trained for the practical duties of life. Its students are a force throughout the state. Many have become teachers and have helped to raise the standard of the rural schools. One of the graduates of Talladega studied at Columbia college several years ago, where he did such excellent graduate work that he had a number of tempting offers to head departments in the larger schools of the race. He refused them all and turned back to Alabama, where, twenty miles from any railroad station, he founded a school that became a model in its community service. This graduate died after having literally given his life to his work. Others have taken small rural public schools and because of their educational advantages and the spirit of service that Tallageda gave them have made their little one room schoolhouses models of industry and neatness. Some graduates have gone into the ministry and taken up parishes north and south. One is the cashier of a bank in Birmingham. Another is a farmer holding real estate valued at $27,000.
