Principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School-One of the Most Successful Teachers in the Public Schools. VOL. XLI. NO. 11 EAT ALLEGED WEAKN RO COLLEGES— ED—R. C. EDM ON "RATS Editor of The Bee: Last week I set out to examine in some detail the three main allegations of G. David Houston in the July Crisis about "Weaknesses in the Negro Colleges." You found it necessary to reserve a part of my letter for this week. We have examined the first main allegation (A). Now, let us proceed to examine the second and third ones (B and C). I will then add some other observations. B. "The second glaring weakness of the Negro college * * * is the mistake of calling a white man to the presidency," Mr. H. tells us. On this he complains thus: (a) Many Negroes feel that "their college" is better administered by a white president; (b) feel that a white man brings prestige and money to a Negro college; (c) feel that a colored president could not command the cooperation and respect of his colored professors. Does not state about how many feel this way. I have now reached the stage in this series of letters where it is necessary to step down to a bit of unpleasant work. It is not pleasant to asperse the morals and manners of persons commonly held to possess the attributes of the gentleman and the scholar. I had rather picture every man as a Sir Roger de Coverly than an Iago, Uriah Heep or faithless Paris. Hence these tears. In your July 31 number I called attention to the coincidence of the appearance in the July Crisis alongside Mr. Houston's article of a bobtailed article by one M. G. Allison, chronicling and glorifying the fact of the graduation this year of about 100 --- The Washington Bee colored youth from Northern white colleges, at the same time well-nigh overlooking the simultaneous graduation, of 540 colored youth from colored colleges. One need only examine the said article to catch the point. Of course, the graduation of the 100 youth from white colleges is a commendable thing; but so is the graduation of the 540 youth from colored colleges. One day while I was a student at I met on the street a smart little colored boy, and the following conversation ensued: "Where do you live, my lad?" I asked. "Right down there on Hamilton street," he said, pointing. "My father is Dick Roe, and he has a barber shop down there. Don't you know him?" "No," I replied truthfully, for I had never been down there, and had not met the gentleman. "That's mighty funny," he commented, with a note of surprise and pity. About the Allison chronicle of events on "Negro Education for the Yea:" I feel as did the little boy—"That's mighty funny." The "Negro scholar" of today, by the definition of some, is the Negro graduate of the Northern or foreign white college. And, by exclusion, the graduate of a Negro college is not a scholar. Timgs change and we change with them. Let us return to the motive of the Houston-Allison joint performance in the July Crisis. It is no secret that the Negro scholars—graduates of Northern white colleges, whose * CAPTAIN ARTHUR NEWMAN e. Armstrong Manual Training School- Successful Teachers in the Public School WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY AUGUST 14,1920 numbers are fast growing—100 new ones for 1920—are being confronted by an acute economic problem of the personal sort. Naturally, they want genteel occupations. Unfortunately most Negro scholars do. Being scholars and not succeeding in supplying their larders and wardrobes by returns from literature and science, and being not desirous of going into other occupations, they seek professorships. They can not secure professorships in their own alma maters. They would deign to accept them in the despised Negro colleges. They seek those jobs. Scholar Houston implies that they are unwilling to "go into other professions." In the Negro colleges, most of them in the South, there are probably around a thousand presidencies and professorships, most of which places are occupied by men and women of the North, most white, some colored. Not a few of these places, however, are filled by colored men and women of the South, graduates of the same colored colleges. There are no vacancies in large number. Yet some seem to see in that field a thousand opportunities fit for Negro scholars. There is a general impression in Washington, hard to confirm because of secrecy, that the Negro scholars, graduates of white colleges, have banded themselves into a Greek society, a sort of corps of the elite, called the Boule (Council). If true, naturally its aims and acts are secret, sub rosa. It is alleged that its aims and doings are protective. The word "protective" is a fine euphemism. Germany had an army for protective purposes. We may safely assume, if the rumors are true, that these scholars, Northern graduates, are banded together for a very practical purpose. Possibly it is this council that is putting Scholar Houston forward and arming him with a variety of tools of combat—foul gas, poison arrows and such like. The circumstances point to this probability, the circumstances being: (1) The object-lesson of the Crisis' "educational number; (2) the prospective army of young "Negro scholars," who must obtain genteel jobs; (3) the paternal and fraternal interest of the council in getting for its members and proteges such jobs, and (4) the thousand aforesaid in Dixie. Is not here the motive? Is not here "de bug under de ship"? Is not here the gentleman in the woodpile? A thousand genteel jobs in Dixie! Imagine the visions of Napoleon's men as he pictured to them the spoils of Sunny Italy. A thousand genteel jobs in Dixie! It is plain that Scholar Houston does not want a thousand jobs for himself alone. A thousand genteel jobs in Dixiel And more than a thousand feverish expectants. Expectation stands tiptoe at the line of Mason and Dixon. Is it not possible, yea probable, that the officers of the council have seized upon the incident of Scholar Houston's personal grievance against Howard and his cacoethes loquendi to further a deeper purpose—to seize rich spoils in Dixie? Is it not possible that the counseling council is "using" not only Brother Houston but also the very able and usually sagacious editor of The Crisis? The prospect is bright for the existing systems of Negro education. The management of most of the colleges is in competent and satisfactory hands. Mr. Houston threatens that Negro scholars might, under provocation, "turn to other professions." By all means, let them do it. It so happens that nearly every economic and business field among the colored people awaits and invites the best colored talent—to plan and supervise farm, factory, store, counting house. The colored people need men of their race who can and will be organizers of economic victory. Here is an inviting field for leadership—scholarship. I have said enough to show that Scholar Houston's Crisis article reflects a medley of mean motives and wrong assumptions; that the discourse is a medley of contradictions, of inconsistencies, of bad logic; that Howard University will not suffer by his assault, and that all the colored colleges assaulted are revealed in renewed lustre by this sordid incident. What is of least importance, I believe that Mr. Houston is revealed as an "usurper on the throne of taste." Washington, August 9, 1920. WOMEN'S CLUBS MEET IN BROOKLYN, N. Y. Brooklyn, August 12. After being in session at the Concord Baptist Church in this city for four days, the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs concluded its twenty-fourth annual meeting Saturday afternoon. The federation was the guest of the Dorcas Home Missionary Society and the Federated Clubs of this city and were royally entertained. The growth of the federation in numbers and interest was clearly shown in the report of the organizer, Mrs. H. A. Durbin, of Boston, who enrolled eighteen new clubs during the year. This fact was further shown in the reports of delegates representing the various clubs. The clubs of Washington were ably represented in the report of Mme. M. Madre Marshall, who rendered much valuable service to this session of the federation. The public will remember Mrs. Marshall more readily by her maiden name, M. Madre, who was for some five years the capable president of Bethel Literary and Historical Society, Washington, D. C. The departmental work reached the highest percentage in efficiency in effort and achievement in the life of the organization. Special mention is WORDS here made of the industrial, arts and crafts, suffrage and the department for the suppression of lynching, headed by Mrs. M. C. Simpson, of Cambridge, Mass. Among the literary features were the address of Mrs. Sara Lee Fleming, head of the industrial work. Resolutions by Mrs. M. C. Simpson, "Suffrage," by Mrs. Harriet Whitby, of New Haven; "The New Voter," by Miss M. R. Lyons, of this city; address on "Higher Education and Specialization," by Miss Lillian C. Dodson, of Brooklyn, who is a senior at Hunter College in New York City; thrilling talks by Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Women's Clubs, and Mme. M. C. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, president, and Miss S. Ella Wilson, vice-president, were at their best in wit, wise counsel and self-control. They and the rest of the officers of 1919, with few exceptions, were re-elected. Mrs. L. A. Henderson, chairman of the entertainment committee, and her assistants deserve much praise for their work. THE WASHINGTON COLORED AMERICAN. The Washington Colored American is a new daily bulletin issued every afternoon by John R. Williams, editor, and D. Eugene Taylor, editor. Both are young hustlers, and the wish of The Bee is that the Washington Colored American daily bulletin may have long life, prosperity and a smooth road to travel. It is a publication which will fill a long-felt want. There is plenty of room for it. Accept this plate of honey from The Bee. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. When Congress convenes in December, the present Board of Education will be abolished. Among the colored citizens who are slated to go on the new board are: Mrs. Daniel Murray, Mrs. Rebecca Gray, Mrs. Robert Pelham, Mrs. C. M. Tanner, Attorney Fountain Peyton, Attorney L. M. King, Attorney W. C. Martin and Jos. H. Stewart. CAPTAIN ARTHUR NEWMAN The Man Who Has Fought For His Country and Made Armstrong What It Is Today. There is no instructor in the public schools today better liked than Captain Arthur Newman, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School. Captain Newman not only distinguished himself in the late world war, but he has made Armstrong Manual Training School what it is today. This is one branch of the public schools of Washington that is a benefactor to many hundreds of boys and girls. Every year young men and young women are graduated from this school with a certificate as master of some beneficial trade. This school is a real benefit to the masses, and Captain Newman has the respect and love of the boys and girls who are taught in this branch of the public schools. Captain Newman is an unassuming but positive character and a grateful friend. Hundreds in this city were glad that he returned from the war safe and sound and assumed his old position as principal of Armstrong. This successful educator has just had installed in his school a type-setting machine for the benefit of his pupils. You will never make all the money you want by working with your hands. And you were never before offered the opportunity to let your money work in a theater project directed by successful theater men.

I hear that one of the swellest marriages will take place shortly that was ever pulled off in this city. The bride weighs about 98 pounds, and the bridegroom weighs about 150. From all accounts the bride's dress will be, or is being, made by the most fashionable. modiste in New York. The groom has recently purchased a handsome house in the most aristocratic section of the city; in fact, it is situated in Millionaires' Row. The groom won his fame over the sea, and you can just put it in the scroll of fame that the diamond he has on his hand can't be worn by any ordinary man. I hear that his car will be a new make. None such is on the market. St. Cyprian's Church will not be large enough, hence they may be married in St. Augustine's. The groom is a swell and accomplished musician, and you can just bet your life that this swell event will surpass anything that John Jacob Astor has ever given. The Carnival of Nations that took place last week was a great event. This is one event that was supported by the browns. Now, if the combination would only start a department store, it would be an enterprise that has long been wanted in this city. But there seems to be so much jealousy. I see that The Tattler has made its appearance on the streets, and the boys seem to get away with them. Gossips seek The Tattler. It reminds me of The Chit-Chat that had this city on fire at times. W. Calvin was the Chit-Chat man. Little children always greeted him as Willie, the Chit-Chat man. The Tattler seems to meet the approval of the gossips. I am glad to know that all gossips are not dead. My good friend Arthur F. Boston is a jolly good fellow. He was more than elated with the trip that was given him by Dr. and Mrs. Sewell last week. Dr. Sewell is a thoroughbred, no matter what people say about him. The best evidence that he is a success is that he doesn't ask his enemies for any favors. The man who is most successful is the man who is most talked about. **** Now, we hope to see the new theatre started by next spring. The stock is being sold liberally, and DR. W. L.

ONE OF OUR LEADING NEGRO ENTERPRISES OF THE WORLD PLANT OF THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER CO., INC. TO BE ERECTED IN BALTIMORE, MD. THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER COMPANY. Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of $5,000 with stock sold at $10.00 per share, is now a corporation capitalized at $100,000.00 with NO SHARES FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE, yet it is understood that a small number of shares have been donated by some of the larger stockholders for certain Dentists and Druggists whose names have already been listed, and will be called on personally in the near future by the President of the Company. The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were selected by the Directors of the Company because of their progressiveness and the great advertising value that their connection will mean in the distribution of this exceptional dentifrice to the race throughout the United States. The demand for the Welters' Tooth Powder has grown so tremendously during the past six months, since advertising in the Chicago Defender, that their manufacturing facilities are entirely too limited, and has forced the management to make immediate arrangements for their larger plant, to be erected in Baltimore, to properly care for the increased business. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points. Manager Lane is the man who seems to be putting the stock on the market in a satisfactory manner. **** The latest report is that Mary Church Terrell will succeed Dr. Lucy Moten as head of the Minor Normal School.

New York, August 12 (Reciproca News Service). After deliberating here for one week in the second annual convention of musicians, the artists have adjourned. They voted unanimously to hold their next general session in July, 1921, at Nashville, Tenn. The vote which selected the capital city of the Volunteer State was made unanimous amid a burst of applause for the Hub of the South, the recognized educational center for the Negroes of the United States. The invitation sent in by Nashville through its representation showed that the various educational institutions of that city were behind the invitation. This was supplemented by special telegrams from the One Cent Savings Bank, now the Citizens' Savings Bank, and Trust Company, Henry A. Boyd, president; the National Baptist Publishing Board, the largest religious business, printing and publishing plant owned by the Negroes in the United States, of which R. H. Boyd is the secretary, and the Nashville Globe, one of the leading weekly, journals published by members of the race. It was stressed on the floor of the convention that at Nashville there are seven extremely large educational institutions, viz, Meharry Medical College, Walden University, Fisk University, Roger Williams University, the National Baptist Theological and Training Seminary, the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School, the Academy of Our Immaculate Mother and Pearl High School, with twelve public schools and several private conservatories of music. Nashville's claim was also supported by the fact that they have quite a few religious publishing plants, two Negro banks and a Negro population in the city of over 45,000. The invitations were presented by Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, a member of the organization, a resident of Nashville and the chorister for two national organizations. The representatives in session this week are to leave with plans for a larger gathering next year. LET ME HELP YOU My work is free to you. Parchment prayers are also free.

D., after. twenty. years of service as, founder and deanrof*the Teachers’ College at. Howard University, Washington, D. C., has; presented his resignation to. President Durkee, to take effect September 1, for the purpose of accepting a position’ as: national ficld executive of the Lincoln Reserve Life: Insurance Corporation. to conduct extensive. campaigns. of educa- tion and thrift, and will, establish his Southern headquarters at Atlanta,Ga. Dean Moore has been for two decades one of the out- standing figures in the educational world. “He was educated at the University: of Pennsylvania and afterwards studied under the great psychologist, Dr.’G. Stanley Hall, and later traveled in Germany to "make a study of European. educational methods. He organized the ‘Teachers’ College and made it the best known of:our institutions for the technical education of professional teachers. As an organizer and adiministrator, Dr. Moore is‘accepted by all as the peer of any. When the World War broke out he served the country accept- ably with President Taft’s Committee on the Moral Aims of the War in ‘the promotion of patriotic education throughout the South, organizing great,patriotic meetings and speaking frequently to large audiences of both races of several States. At the close of the war he was appointed regional director of education of the National Security League to conduct further compaigns of education. and _Americanization. ' His own’ published’ literature under. the title of “Education. and Patriotism’?-was widely distributed in the camps.in this country and France and in the summer schools of the South. In his"new position Dean Moore proposes to conduct. carhpaigns of education and thrift in and out of the colleges and will be able to .do avery much larger service to aid the people in'their economic struggles and to stimulate education. than he could ‘do in’any ‘one| college, however important. He is an*acceptable lecturer before both aces and holds large influencé in educational and church circles, being the first-and:only Negro ever appointed a member of the Executive’ Committee of the American Missionary Association of the Congregational’ Church, which conducts many of the best schools and’ colleges: in the South and employs more than’ eight hundred (teachers and missionaries. During the last year, on leave of absence from the university, he has done a noteworthy service in promoting inter-racial good: will-and cooperation in the South. Dr. Moore’s friends. will follow him with. interest in his new and ‘larger field, where his :well:known powers of administration and leadership will have fréer scope’ aiid more substantial financial backing. > ‘ WHY BE'A SLAVE? If. there is any manhood or womanhood in the colored American race,.why be.a slave? ‘Why do we continue to be the willing tool of any race or class of people who boast of their superior ‘nationality ? Why be a slave when you-haye the same faculties'as other people? This leadership of which we hear so. much talk and which has been so prevalent in this country is not 4 factor, because ‘those. who ¢on- stitute it belong to the weak fainilies or those who are influenced by the blandistments of official power. A,.colored: man who can be used and-is willing to do what he is commanded to do is the kind of colored leadership a white politician wants. ‘This is what we call present-day leadership. This kind of leadership is what certain white people appreciate and demand: , - These are the slaves for the white man, who doesn’t want real leadership ‘to. exist. No real white man’wants a slaye around his hotise. We can be manly as’ well as polite; we can be men, and not'sldves. | ee ¥ We do not fight flies in this paper.

The: Bee knows this from experience. A fly in a pan of milk is particularly plagueing+pestiferous. * . The fly is the most pestiferous and-useless of insects. The green- bottle (alcohol-loving) variety is the most repulsive to encounter. The Bee is not in the biologidal class of the fly, of course; although “some presumptuous flies attempt to mingle with bees,. whose consti- tution, aims, methods and habits bear-no marks of similarity: The best way to meet the fly pest is'to screen them out. Fly-swatting is not in our line. ! Hw gal 2 ae ‘The Washington-Bee niakes it a rule not to advertise any sheet of the fly order, unless the jlatter does a mischief requiring. public condempation, which is seldom, considering the source, This is our business policy, and, for:regard of ou7/ readers, our editorial policy.

The Messenger (New York) invites the colored people to quit the decadent Republican: party,’and join the Socialist party. The argument is (1) that it is not today. what it once was; '(2) as to. interest’ in the masses, it-is on a par with the Democratic party (both being controlled by the “money-bags”); and (3) that the Socialist party is the party that promises the Negro the best deal. We-don’t know whether the Messenger is offering this invitation | to the Negroes of the ‘South. (who have no vote, because the Demo- cratic party denies it) or.to the Negroes of the North (who can and do vote, because the Republican party’ is ‘strong up North). It is uuseless to talk to a voteless man South about how he should vote. The colored voters in. the North will want to vote, first, in their personal interest; second, in the interest of their tace down. South; and, third; in the general interest. . $ Let the Messenger tell is something more about the early pros- pects of the-Socialist party to win a presidential ‘election or a voice in Congress, Let the Messenger tell us also whether, -other: things being equal; it would be better for ‘the colored pedple if the-Demo- crats or Republicans are in power. We want a diagram of the Mes- senger’s scheme. We are from Missouri,‘and. open to conviction.

Considerable disappointment was manifest in the Census Bureau when changes were made in one of the sections which, it is alleged, brought about a reduction in the number of clerks. Several clerks who had passed the first-grade examination and were good for a two-year job are supposed to have been dropped from the rolls. A number of other clerks were assigned to duty as "punch operatives." The latter is not a bad-paying position, in view of the fact that some swift operators are known to make as much as $60 in one week. Mrs. Adelaide Childs, well known because of her accomplishments and activities in social and religious work, has been appointed to the Women's Bureau of the Police Department. Mrs. Childs is a civil service appointee, having passed the examination with a very high average. She is a college woman. **** John Coleman, a janitor in an apartment house, charged Policeman William Murray, white, with blackmail, in that the policeman bargained with Coleman to stop a cer- tain charge against him on the payment of $30. The policeman was committed to jail in default of $1,000 bond. From The Nation of July 31, 1920, we get the following: "No passages in Senator Harding's address are more praiseworthy than those dealing with our color problem. If, as we hope, his utterances are sincere and not merely campaign rhetoric, and if the colored people and the country are not to be shamefully betrayed as they were in this (lynching), as, indeed, other matters, by Woodrow Wilson, Senator Harding should define specifically what he means by saying: 'The Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights.' The minimum requirements, in addition to a Federal anti-lynching law, are the abolition of segregation and discrimination in civil service, army and navy, and of jim-crowism in interstate travel and the enforcement by Federal commissioners of the fifteenth amendment." The excursion to River View Park on the palatial steamer Rosedale by the Association of Oldest Inhabitants was a gala occasion. More than two thousand persons enjoyed the outing. The Association of Oldest Inhabitants boasts of a large membership, composed chiefly of native Washingtonians or those who have been living in the city for a number of years. It is needless to say that its members represent men and women of prominence, who are identified with all that stands for Negro betterment. During the week Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, of 239 Florida avenue northwest, entertained Mrs. Henry M. Minton, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. A. D. Hamilton, of Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. C. O. Harris, of Athens, Ga. These ladies are among the hundreds who are visiting the city during the vacation period. There is no more energetic department of service in the District of Columbia than the Seventh District Conference of the Associated Charities. Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, wife of the secretary-treasurer of Howard University, is the chairman of the Seventh District Conference. Recently the members of this conference came together and through a benefit raised money to help meet the expanding costs of the Associated Charities, which maintains service throughout the year in behalf of both white and colored children and families. John Joy Edson, Washington's foremost banker, who is treasurer of the Associated Charities, recently wrote Mrs. Scott the following: "Permit me, as treasurer of the Associated Charities, to express to the members of the Seventh District Conference our very grateful appreciation of their gift of $275 for the benefit of the society. This gift comes to us at a time when we have found it necessary to make unusual efforts in order to meet the expanding costs of our work in every department. It is probably the first instance of the kind where a district conference has made so substantial a contribution to the general work of the society. We value not only the financial aid but perhaps, even more the deep interest shown by members of the conference in giving personal service for the benefit of the families under care of the District." Mrs. Scott before coming here was associated with the extension activities of the Tuskegee Institute, being chairman of the Chrysanthemum Society and the Garden Committee of the Tuskegee Community organization. Her services as chairman of the Seventh District. Conference through the winter, to which position she was elected shortly after her arrival here, have been most helpful to the community, as well as her services in connection with the summer outings program for the children of the District of Columbia. COLORED BUSINESS LEAGUE. Great Program Arranged for Coming Session — Reorganization Is the Slogan. Philadelphia, Pa. August 14. Copies of the program for the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League have been received in this city. The program, to be held here August 18, 19 and 20, is full, inclusive and includes many instructive discussions aside from the purely personal recitals of individual successes. Notable colored as well as white men will appear and speak at the coming meeting, including Governor William E. Sproul, of Pennsylvania; Hon. Alba V. Johnson, president of the Philadelphia Chamber, of Commerce; Hon. John Wanamaker, America's merchant prince; Hon. William Mather Lewis, director of the Savings Division of the War Loan Organization, Treasury Department; Dr. A. M Travick, Nashville, Tenn., who will speak of the work of the Inter-Racial Commission. The National Negro Business League has adopted as a slogan for this year, "Reorganization and Reconstruction," and the discussions of the coming meeting will hinge upon this slogan. Much of the prestige and influence of the league is due to its affiliated organizations. In the past the programs of the league have been so crowded that it has been impossible to present to the delegates the work of these affiliated organizations. This year special arrangements have been made for Affiliated Organization Day. The colored speakers will be no less notable than the white people, including such men as Dr. K. R. Moton, who will deliver his annual address as president of the league at the Wednesday night session; Attorney Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh, editor of the Competitor Magazine; K. C. Brown, Philadelphia, banker; J. S. Jones, cashier of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, Norfolk, Va., who will discuss "Commerce and Finance"; Dr. Ernest Lyon, Baltimore, Liberian Consul-General to the United States, who will speak of "Business Opportunities - Offered American Negroes in Liberia"; the Hon. J. C. Napier, honorary president of the National Negro Business League, who will speak upon "The Aim; Growth and Achievements of the National Negro Business League, and others of importance in the business world. The social features have been adequately arranged for, including the following: Wednesday. August 18, midnight show at the Standard Theatre; Thursday. August 19, athletic sports at Madison Park, and at 11:30 midnight show at the $400,000 Dunbar Theatre; Friday, August 20, the annual banquet at I reception, which usually elipses in brilliance any of the social functions of the season; Saturday, August 21, boat excursion down the Delaware, taking in the Hog Island Shipyard; Saturday and Sunday, the trip to Atlantic City, the nation's playground. There have been twenty conventions of the National Negro Business League, but the twenty-first annual session promises to be the most entertaining and instructive as well as the most important yet held. It is not yet too late for you to make arrangements to be in attendance. Notify Charles. H. Brooks, 1440 Lombard street, Philadelphia, who will see to it that all delegates are properly cared for. It is important that every business man in the country should be aware of what takes place at this "reconstruction and reorganization" session. EN ROUTE TO THE FALLS. (Special to the Buffalo, N. Y., August 12.—I left Cape May for Niagara Falls Sunday evening. I am now en route for the Falls and hope to have a delightful trip. I met several Washingtonians at Cape May and here at Buffalo.

B., treasurer. Terms reasonable. tf 68 Tatnall Street. Atlanta, Ga.. July 29, 1920. Col. W. Calvin Chase. Editor Washington Bee. My Dear Mr. Editor: Permit me to make use of your valuable columns to announce to my many, many friends, former students and graduates that I have just presented to the president of Howard University my resignation as dean of the Teachers' College and professor of philosophy and education, to take effect September 1 next, for the purpose of accepting a position as national field executive of the Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance Corporation, with large powers to plan and carry, out a program for the financial and educational betterment of colored people. This corporation is an inter-racial business organization already in six States and combining the best interests and representatives of both races, with assets of about $800,000. a legal reserve of $395,000. a surplus of about $60,000 and a going business of nearly $13,000,000. It proposes to conduct large and effective campaigns of education and thrift and will do a noteworthy service in aiding the colored people in their economic struggles and stimulating their business education. I have accepted this new position because it is so unique as to better my financial condition without lessening my opportunity for large service to my people and country. As national field executive I shall have opportunity to make positions for a large number of young men and women at much handsomer incomes than I could assist them to secure in school positions. I shall, therefore, be able to perform a signal service to my former students and graduates, whose interests I shall carry in mind as in former days. In justice to the new president of Howard University, I think I ought to say that my resignation is not caused by any disagreement with him over his program for the development of the university nor because of any known dissatisfaction with me or my work. On his recommendation the trustees paid my full salary during one year's leave of absence and have just increased my salary for the coming year. 1920-21. But even with this expression of good will and appreciation I cannot resist the temptation to accept a position which increases largely my financial and educational opportunity and permits of greater freedom and larger service in behalf of my race and especially in behalf of the young men and women whom I have trained for many years and from whom I hope to hear at my Southern headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. MRS. ROSA AILER ON TOUR. Mrs. Rosa. Ailer left the city Thursday evening for Danville, Va., to be the guest of relatives. On her return she will visit her brother in Fredericksburg and relatives of her husband, Rev. Peter Ailer. She will leave Fredericksburg, for Orange. Va., where her mother and father reside on one of the largest farms in that county. She has recently erected a fine house on her 20-acre farm, which she will occupy and where she will have on old Virginia housewarming. This is one of the prettiest little cottages in the vicinity, and is nearly completed. She hopes to have a most enjoyable time at her native home. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Jackson, are two of the oldest residents in Orange. The farm of the Jacksons is one of the largest in the State of Virginia. They have their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with them every summer and no two citizens are more highly respected than are Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
