School Board Will Investigate Marks First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 16 GRADING SYSTEM AT MINER NORMAL TO BE CORRECTED Board also Investigating Promotions to 6b Grade At the regular meeting of the Board of Education, Wednesday, Attorney W. L. Houston offered a motion, which was passed, to rescind the action of the Board at its meeting last week, in correcting the minutes of June 27th, 1923, concerning the standing of the Miner Normal graduates effected by a tie in grading. Mr. Houston suggested that the decimals be carried out to thousandths instead of hundredths and the highest figure in thousandths be used instead of the alphabetical arrangement. He also suggested the drawing of straws. However, a committee of three was appointed consisting of W. L. Houston A. J. Lloyd and Mrs. Hodgins to investigate the matter and report at the next meeting of the Board. The committee appointed to investigate the protest of Clyde C. McDuffie, teacher of Latin at Dunbar, concerning the result of the examination held September 30, 1922, for candidates for the 6-B grade, which is the highest grade accorded teachers, was composed of Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, chairman; W. L. Houston and E. C. Graham Mr. McDuffie, took this examination. He passed the written division and is alleged to have failed in the oral test. It was brought out at the Board meeting by W. L. Houston that this was the first case where a teacher had made the written examination and failed on the oral test. The committee held five hearings in investigating this examination and while they report that they felt that the Board of Examiners endeavored to discharge their duties, yet by way of suggestion, they offered improvement of the policy under which the examinations are held. They recommended that the written examination be confined to the subject matter taught by the teacher; that sufficient time be allowed the applicants to complete the written examination. They also recommended that the written examination should count for 300 points and the oral for 400 points. Also that an auxiliary board of examiners should be selected to assist the regular board of examiners in conducting the oral examinations. The report placed great stress upon the evaluation of "S" given teachers for satisfactory work the same as "E" and place its credit at eighty (80) the same credit given "E." About seven years ago, Congress passed a law to the effect that "teachers shall be promoted for superior work from group "A" to group "B" of class 6 only after oral and written examinations by the Board of Examiners." The Act provides for seven group, two of which are allotted to the teachers of the 10th to the 13th divisions. It is alleged that only two colored teachers have been promoted to the 6-B group during the three-year regime of the present Superintendent. There are only two colored teachers, other than six heads of departments, promoted to the 6-B group. They are Messrs. John W. Cromwell, jr., and H. L. Bailey. The resignation of Mrs. Cecil Norton-Sisson as general director of the public schools, was accepted to take effect from and after September 30, 1923. The following resignations, reinstatements, promotions, and appointments were confirmed Wednesday: Resignations: L. V. Grinage, caretaker, Miner Normal, M. E. Francis, teacher, class 2, Mott; E. W. Tancil, teacher, class 4, Burrville. Reinstatements: S. W. Brown, teacher, class 6-A Randall Junior High.

Government Hospital located at Tuskegee, remains practically the same. No colored doctors have yet reached Tuskegee because none so far have been induced to go to serve under the white head. Major R. R. (Run Robert) Moton has at last called a truce with the whites at Tuskegee, the terms of which permitted the Major to slip back to Tuskegee and make his grand opening address to the faculty and students at the Institute. What price the Major paid to get back to his old job, has not as yet been learned, but, as desperate as the Major was this summer, it is probable that he accepted whatever terms were demanded. However, whatever the terms imposed upon the Major, The Tribune and other race journals will continue to back up the persons who are making the fight for an all-colored personnel, beginning at the top. Negroes Get Best of Fight, Mayor Orders Them to Leave Johnstown, Pa.—Running riot with power and hatred, Mayor Joseph Cauffiel of this city attempted this week to force all Negro residents of less than seven years to leave the city. The Mayor's idiotic desire to run all the Negroes out of town came after a group of white policemen had attempted to rough a group of colored mill workers who lived in a section of the city called 'Rosedale. Beating and intimidating Negroes had become a favorite pastime of Cauffiel's police force; their action became so unbearable that the Negroes were forced to protect their rights. One night last week a group of Caufielf's men, headed by County Detective John A. James, went to the Rosedale section with the avowed purpose of getting certain Negroes. Approaching the colony which was built by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, the officers encountered a colored man named Robert Young, who worked in the Cambria Steel mill. Not knowing the motive of the officers and suspecting the worst Young made a hasty retreat to safer quarters and was followed by the officers who began shooting at him. Young then began to return the fire and doing so with a greater degree of accuracy then the officers. County detective John A. James and special officer Joseph Abrams were killed outright. Governor Pinchot stated that "the whole power of this commonwealth will be used if necessary, to maintain constitutional rights at Johnstown," when the matter was brought to his attention. While the mayor has no power at all to force anyone to leave, the poor victims did not know this. While a few have left, the exodus has been nothing like it was reported in the white papers. The size of the Mexican Ambassa- During the shooting, other Negroes came to the assistance of Young and the officers were forced to retreat. In the mele, captain of police and a patrolman, received wounds which will probably prove fatal. Detective Otto Nukem was wounded and died two days later; two other policemen received lesser injuries. Young was killed in the mele. No other casualty among the colored has been reported.

Because Mexicans were included in the general order to leave along with the Negroes, Charge d'Affairs Don Manuel C. Tillez of Mexico, objected to coupling Mexicans with Negroes in the expulsion order. "The percentage of Negroes is far lower in Mexico than in the United States and there is no justification for Mayor Cauffiel's act in classifying them with Negroes," he said. The next day after the shooting, Mayor Cauffiel came out with his drastic action. In order to justify his action, the usual claim that Rosedale was vice ridden and that crime abounded was given out. When questioned about the lack of authority for such action, Cauffiel stated, "I don't, care what authority I have. For their own safety and for the safety of the Johnstown public, the Negroes are going out of this city. "If they remain here we could never stop the wave of crime this winter. The Cambria plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company is running slack. Men are being laid off and the thousands of Negroes and Mexicans imported here are not needed and won't be needed for some time to come. Given the chance, they are going to steal and terrorize. I'm not the one who is going to give them the chance." Being without authority to deport the colored people, Cauffiel, ordered his policemen to arrest every Negro and place any kind of a charge against him. When the unfortunate victim appeared in police court the next day, hehe was fined $100 and cotsss, or ninety days in the county jail. In conducting the police court Mayor Cauffiel did so in much the following manner. When the prisoner was brought before him he would ask: "Where are you from?" (Ans.) "Alabama." (Reply) "Better have stayed there. They know how to take care of you down there. You know, boy, you'd be hanging from a tree in Alabama if you and your kind had killed three white policemen and just about killed three others. You start right back to Alabama. Ninety days in the county jail or $100 fine and costs. Better pay your fine boy and then get out of this state within five hours. If any of the policemen see you again, you will be brought back here and you'll stay here from then on." sey, janitor, Smallwood-Bowen; M.

Coroner N DEPARTMENTAL SEGREGATION TO GO SAYS RUMOR President is Alleged to Have Passed Word Along to Bureau Heads According to a statement sent out this week by a local political group, President Coolidge has passed the word down the line for the abolition of segregation in the government departments. The informant in the story following, according to a Pennsylvania Avenue headquarters, is a prominent official, not a member of the cabinet, but holding such an important position in the government that he possesses cabinet prestige without being under cabinet control. He says that word has gone out from President Coolidge to all bureaus and departments of the government that there "must not be any discrimination in the treatment of employees or citizens on account of color" during his administration. The statement sent out goes on to say: "This statement [of the President] which is vouched for as absolutely authoritative, is of arresting significance since it is the first executive order concerning the conduct of all departments that has been issued by the new President. In fact, Mr. Coolidge deferring to the familiarity that departmental and bureau heads hold to administration of their offices, has left the details entirely to them. But the President, enlightened by many opportunities for observation during the tenure of his residence here as Vice-President, is determined to make a sweeping disposal of the abuses, largely racial, that were bequeathed to his administration by the Democratic party. "The first prescription of any nature shown among Governmental employees was inaugurated by William Gibbs McAdoo, former Democratic Secretary of the Treasury, son-in-law to Woodrow Wilson and present receptive, deceptive and active candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. It began when John Skelton Williams, former Democratic Comptroller of the Treasury and a son of the First Families of Virginia ordered separate toilet arrangements for the colored employees under his charge. From this incident discrimination and segregation spread like wild-fire until it was considered to be a diploma of Democratic prestige and favor with the Wilson administration to add some new insult or humiliation to a colored clerk." While it is not true, as indicated in the statement quoted, that segregation was begun under President Wilson, it is a fact that when the late President Warren G. Harding assumed the Presidential duties, instead of abolishing the segregation, which had greatly increased during the Wilson administration, he and his various bureau chiefs simply winked at this affront to the Negro voters. In some cases the vicious practices were expanded. One of the most notable cases of the extension of this segregation under Harding occurred in the office of the Register of the Treasury. Mr. Speelman, Register of the Treasury, one of Harding's personal appointees, verbally passed the word to the colored chiefs that they were to tell those under them that they were to use toiletts separate from the whites. However, when the employees raised a howl against the order and the whole plan along with those who took part in it was exposed in The Tribune, --- Conference of Urban League at Kansas City to Make Study The Annual Conference of the National Urban League which will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, October 16 to 19, according to the officials of this organization will be one of the most interesting and one of the best attended of the eight conferences thus far held. Representatives from national social ork organizations, settlement houses, probation associations, recreation movements and other forms of social work will join with the League workers in the discussion of minimum social standards and methods of introducing negroes into industry, reducing labor turnover and other personnel problems; housing, including building loans and lower rental cost for the increasing city Negro population; health and co-operation between the churches and social agencies. The subject of racial co-operation will be discussed by leading white and colored students of the problem, from both the North and the South. WEST A. HAMILTON ELECTED DELEGATE TO LEGION CONVENTION At the closing session of the Department Convention of the American Legion, composed of all the posts in the District, Captain West A. Hamilton of the James E. Walker Post, was elected one of the delegates to the Fifth National Convention to be held at San Francisco, October 15th to 20th. Captain West A. Hamilton is well known in Washington, being a prominent business man, and also is connected with the Washington Sentinel, a local weekly. ORDER OF MOSES IN SESSION HERE The 46th annual session of the Grand Lodge of A. I. O. of Moses, opened at the Odd Fellows Hall on M Street, Tuesday with Grand Master Joseph a Mannerlyn in charge, Morning and afternoon sessions were held through Friday. Hundreds of delegates from all the seaboard states were in attendance. Reports indicated that the order has enjoyed one of the greatest years in its history. the order was rescinded. the order was received. Nevertheless, separate toilets, dressing rooms and jim crow sections in cafes still exist in many of the bureaus, notably the Govrment Printing Office, the Bureau of Engraving the State War and Navy Building the Treasury Department, Veterans Bureau and other bureaus. If President Coolidge intends to correct the above evils he will have the solid support of every Negro in the United States. If this is what his alleged order means, then we hope the day of its complete enforcement is not far distant. However, if these conditions continue, thus proving that his "word" was for public consumption only, then the President must necessarily expect to occupy the same place in the estimation of the Negro race as his recent predecessors. INCREASE IN HIGH SCHOOL REGISTRATION Slight Decrease in Registration in Graded Schools This Year The public schools of the District opened Monday with about the same number registering up to Wednesday, as last year. On Wednesday of the first week of school last year, 19,017 pupils were registered in the various colored high and graded schools of the city. Thursday morning the report for Wednesday of this year, gave 18,994—23 less than last year. Last year showed an increase of about 2,000 for the third day of school over 1921. Why the falling off this year? However, the increase in the high school registration is noticeable and the falling off is in the grades. Last year Miner Normal and the colored high schools registered 3,259 for the first three days. Wednesday's registration in the same schools, with the addition of Randall Junior High, gave 3,726, making an increase of 467. As Randall turns in 257 there is an increase in the other schools of 210. Miner Normal registered last year. Dunbar High shows an increase over last year, when it had 1,524 against 1,595 this year. Armstrong Manual Training High, had 1,020 last year on the third day; and 1102 this year. This school was built to accommodate 600 pupils. Shaw Junior High registered 426 this year against 380 last year. Randall Junior High, in the Southwest section, was opened Monday for the first time; 257 were reported from there Wednesday. O Street Vocational has an increase in enrollment from 84 last year to 109 this year. Cardoza Vocational 53 this year, against 40 last year. There is a falling off in the grade schools of the 10th to the 13th divisions. Last year first three days gave 15,504 in these divisions against 15,268 this year. The greatest difference occurs in the 13th division. THE AMPHIONS WILL BEGIN WORK OCTOBER SECOND, AT CLEVELAND CENTER Prof. Lewis will return to choir work and organization. It is announced that the Amphion Glee Club will resume work for the season at Cleveland Community Center, October 2nd. Prof. Lewis is planning an intercity glee club friendly contest as one of the season's attractions, and later it is intended to form a National Association of glee clubs. It now seems probable that he will re-enter choir and chorus work again. Those who recall the remarkable success which he had with the choir of the Asbury M. E. Church and also that of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church will hail this bit of news with delight. This decision on his part offers an excellent opportunity to some energetic or progressive church to obtain one of the very best chorus masters in our group. Among other possibilities is the institution of a Community Sing each week, such as is now being held at the Central High School. This will doubtless be held either at Dunbar High or Cleveland School building. Why Wait? She—"Are you saving money for the rainy day?" He—"I'm not," was the reply, "so far as I'm concerned it's raining now." Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Marks ed Patients Woman Dies as Result of Refusal to Admit Her to Providence The conscience of all humane people in the District was shocked this week, and Justice hung her head in shame, as pretty Mrs. Effie Ware, age 31, of 625 Second Street, Southwest, mother of a new born babe, died as a result of being refused admittance to Providence Hospital by Dr. James H. Early. The woman died Friday afternoon—an hour after having been admitted to the Casualty Hospital, having been refused admittance to the Providence Hospital. Dr. John R. Dull, of the Casualty staff, said that had the woman been given treatment ten minutes earlier she would have had a fair chance for recovery. The verdict of the inquest held by Coroner J. Ramsey Nevitt was the woman died of internal hemorrhages and there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death. The recommendation was "All hospitals should accept emergency cases and not refuse proper examination and attention." The recommendations as outlined by the coroner will be presented to the District Commissioners and efforts to have legislation backing up the recommendatoins will be made. "I believe many lives could be saved by such legislation," said the coroner. Dr. James H. Early, of the Providence staff, testified he saw the woman at the hospital entrance while her five friends were attempting to have her admitted. "I knew nothing of the record of her case, and seeing no apparent immediate danger, I informed her that there was no hurry and that she should proceed to another hospital," he said. Dr. A. A. Phillips testified he treated the woman at her home when a child was born. "Following the birth, the woman's condition grew steadily worse and I ordered her to a hospital," he said. The policy of "no admittance" for colored in certain hospitals here has been spreading rapidly during the past few years. While the above case is the first death reported because of this policy, it is by no means the only case of intense suffering and perhaps permanent disability. WENDELL PHILLIPS PLAY GROUND CLOSES SUMMER WORK A field day, featuring a track meet and an exhibit of industrial work, marked the closing of a successful summer season at the Wendell Phillips Playground on Thursday, September 13. About two hundred children and fifty visitors were on hand for the occasion. The track meet was featured by some classy sprints on the part of Fletcher Turner, Reginald Beason, and Vincent Frazier. The performance of Walter Grisby, who cleared the bar at five feet 4 inches in the high jump, was especially meritorious. The industrial exhibit consisted of some fifty reed and raffia baskets and a like number of specimens of needle work of all sorts. Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes and her assistants, Miss Chambers and Mrs. Moore were interested visitors. All expressed themselves as highly gratified at the calibre and quantity of work done by the children. SPECIAL SERVICE AT ST. LUKE'S CHURCH The services of St. Luke's P. E.

September carries five weeks. Funeral Services held for Geo. T. Preston ing in the Potomac River on Thursday of last week, were held last Sunday at 2 p.m., at Roberts Chapel. Interment was made in Douglass cemetery. The Trbione representative was informed by the family that the funeral would be held at the house. A statement to that effect was made in this column last Saturday. After the statement was made, the family found it advisable to hold the services at the church. The theory put forth by Charles W. Preston, the son of the deceased, that his father fell asleep while on an electric car enroute to Alexandria, was awakened at Prince and Royal Streets, get off the car and walked east to the wharf and fell over board does not tally with the assertions of persons who saw his father on North Patrick Street going north. He was later seen on Madison Street going east, and on North Columbus Street going South. Those persons who saw him last Monday, September 10, the last day he was seen alive, thought that he was out for a walk and that he was headed for home before dark. The death of Mr. Preston came as a shock to his friends, especially those who saw him apparently so well and lively.

Al- lowing time for drawing up the plans and any other preliminary work, there doesn’t seem to be any necessity for this long delay in beginning the actual construction. On Thanksgiving Day, 1924, the “classic” is scheduled to be played in Washington. A delay of a few more months in start- ing work on the stadium will result in the game again being sched- uled for the American League Park and of course another “break- fast” affair. And Howard authorities are quite aware that the crowd of last Thanksgiving was diminished many hundreds be- cause of the early starting hour of the game. It will also mean that approximately 25 per cent of the gate receipts will go into the coffers of the park authorities. But this is not all. President Durkee at the football banquet last December announced that the new structure would be a stadium-gymnasium combination. Howard. has not engaged in intercollegiate basketball since the season of 1920-21. From au- thentic sources we learn that only intramural basketball will be played until the stadium-gymnasium is completed. Why not rush this project and eliminate Howard’s outstanding Grawback in the athletic world? NEITHER DEMPSEY NOR FIRPO SHOWED ANY SKILL By pushing over the clumsy, awkward and inexperienced Luis Firpo, Jack Dempsey retained his grip on the heavyweight cham- pionship of the white universe. The affair was on the order of an old-fashioned free-for-all bar- room melee, void of any sign of science, with the man best able to defend himself, the survivor. Very little attention was paid to the code of boxing and on two occasions Dempsey fouled the foreigner, hitting him three times after the bell had ended the first round and rushing him after all knock-downs before his hands had left the floor. It is also claimed that the champion was helped into the ring after Firpo had driven him through the ropes. Yet the referee missed all of these infractions. Just another example of white America’s “win at any price” spirit. Most of us are wondering what effect the slugging bee of last Friday night will have on a match for Harry Wills. It was re- ported sometime ago that Firpo had signed to meet Wills in-Ar- gentine in April. Wills has expressed his willingness to fight the foreigner but has sensibly added “not in South America.” | PAGE FOUR Newspapers Book Siki With Nor- folk and Godfrey Press reports are confusing in re- gard to who Siki is to box on Octo- ber 8.

The Sox got away to 4 flying start in the opener and then added the necessary tallies, whenever the time arose, shutting off the many desperate batting attacks ‘of the invaders by snappy fielding. Carr was the master of his former teammates throughout the second tus- sle, spreading six hits over a wide area, while his present teammates came through and sewed up the game in an abbreivated session.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 192 Plenty of Action at Black Sox- Potomac Clash Those who witnessed the double- ete between the Potomaes and the Black Sox at Maryland park, Balti- pore lest Sunday saw more action than a mere ball game generally af- fords, The fire-works began late in the first game when a man slid into third and from the stands it looked like Goodrich had the ball on him. Umpire Cromwell, the sweet-scented navi ang last word of form and grace, yelled s-a-f-e, to which Good- lFch remarked that he said ‘ump” had | missed one, It was then that the said Mistah Cromwell used language alto- gether unbecoming an umpire. Good- rich resented the remarks and soon the pair were mixing it. Before the umpire’s clothes were soiled Wilson the Black Sox first-sacker took up his burden and started pummelling Good- rich, Manager Taylor arrived on the scene then and took Wilson off of Goodrich. With that part of the mix-up set- tled, a new issue began when Wilson bumped into Brown. The Police then entered on the scene and arrested Brown for bumping into Wilson and charged him with disorderly conduct. A final settlement came with the Potomacs on the losers end all round, Goodrich and Brown were expelled from the game for the remainder of the day. The latter was released from the custody of the police. MeMORRIES TO ASSIST AIKEN AT ATLANTA. |, Mv. MeMorries, a letter man from Lineoln University class of 1918, will coach the Backfield of the Atlanta University Hurrieanes this fall. Mr. MeMorries is well qualified to fill this important position, having played on the Lincoln University varsity for four years, during which time he was jcoached by Lester Pollard, of Dart- mouth, “Kid” Collins of Lincoln and Paul Robeson of Rutgers. He will be a great help to head-coach Aiken in building the machine for the 1923 campaign, All letter men from last season are expected to return, with the ex- ception of McGraw, full-back, who has graduated and Thomas, who alterna- ted in the same position and who will attend Amherst College this fall. There is a host of material from the new men to fill this vacancy and there are numbers of high class men from preparatory schools who are expect- ing to land regular berths, Atlanta University has a heavy schedule for this fall and if she takes the scalps of her opponents, she will have to play honest-to-goodness high class football. The inter-sectional clas- sic will be played November 10th with Union University on the Atlanta Uni- versity campus. Union University stood high in foot-ball circles in 1922, losing only to St. Paul and Hampton Institute, champions of the Eastern division. Atlanta University expects to du- plicate her last year’s record and to cetain the championship of the South- east. Coach W. H. Aiken has been in constant touch with his men thru the summer and all are reported to be in excellent physical condition, hav- ing diligently kept training. The squad will report for duty on Septem- ber the 17th and will condition under the leadership of Captain Lang until September the 24th, when the coaches will take charge of the team.

This num- her gradually increased until Thurs- day thirty-five men were indulging in the various preliminary fundamentals such xs, tackling the dummy, pushing ‘the charging machine, kicking, pass- ing, catching and falling on the ball. Seven lettermen, three backs and four linemen are in camp.

Both | TOURNAMENT WINNERS The awarding of the prizes which carried with them the championship, ‘to the winners in the tennis tourna- ment at the Howard Park Play- grounds last Saturday, was the crown- ing event of the summer season at the playgrounds. ‘The tournament ended. Friday after- noon and the presentation of the prizes was held Saturday morn: ing. Rev. Daniel E. Wiseman, presi dent of the Howard Park Citizens | Association and Mr. W. Pollard, sec- lretary of the Association, were the | principal speakers. | The value of the playgrounds was stressed and the wonderful work of Miss Daisy Pierce, who is the director of the playgronnds, was highly praised. Miss Pierce has been con- nected with the playgrounds for over five years; she daily supervises the playing of hundreds of children as well as grown-ups, the Howard Park playgrounds being ‘one of the few playgrounds where “adults are per- mitted to play. In speaking of her work to a Tri- bune reporter, Miss Pierce stated the playground is the one place where children are natural. Unrestrain- ed except by the bounds of home train- ing, these children play. baseball, ten- nis, basketball, and snumerous other games under the watdhful eye of Miss Pierce. When asked about their con- duct, Miss Pierce replied that they are suprisingly orderly, she has never had to call an officer to Subdue any one. “Of course,” she stated, they are bound to have their, differences, but even this occurs in & early spring mostly before the ‘ get ace quainted with each other.” The winners and entrants in the tennis tournament were as follows: : Senior Singles Champion: Samuel Lacey, Entrants: Doaks and Keller played in a number of games last fall. ‘The quarterback position left va- cant through Carter’s graduation looks at this time as a battle between Blackman, sceond stringer of last year, Webster and Bacchus with the former on last year’s form having the edge.

Most of the others not mentioned above but out with the squad are coming up from the frosh team which boasted of many stars last fall. Coach Watson has announced that scrimmaging will be in order in a few days. Both Watson and his assistant, Sack Nurse jumped into the issue on the initial day of practice.

This circuit, under the caption of the District Twi- light League, exceeded by far every oxpectation in regard to high class baseball, bitter rivalry among teams and heated enthusiasm among the spectators. Three clubs—the LeDroit, Teddy Bears and Piedmonts, fought it ‘out from the opening day for the pen- nant, The LeDroit Tigers got an early jump which they could not hold, the team losing three of its brightest stars about mid-season.

The Buffaloes furnishing the biggest upset of the year. by closing the season with a cleancut victory over the LeDroit Tigers. No Outstanding Players The crop of individuals who per- formed for the Twilighters can be grouped in about three sections. The writer hazards the opinion that no’ ‘one really stood out, “Spike” Bland seems have a slight edge over the other pitchers. Using « cross-fire delivery very effectively, the manager of the Piedmonts defeated every club in the league at least once Generally all runs scored off of him came late in the game when his de livery began to sap his stamina [Bland also is an exceptional first |sacker. | Manager Tom Fells sent Ed Barnet to the slab for the first time in mid |season and from then on Barner wa: [the Bear's pitching ace, Another year and Barner will be a real hurler |Sam Lacy, the Armstronger, eavort jing with the Buffaloes is anothe: star in the making. “Red” Johnsor while credited with a number of vieto ries pitched one remarkable game fo: |the Tigers against the Piedmonts let {ting them down with six scattered hits, Adams of the Tigers failed t show the form of last season, Mill: and Kenny of the Brookland Giant: have ability but the weaknesses of thé team behind them allowed them ni chance to show it, With Bland on the rubber Harri played a good game at first for the Piedmonts.

Turner who took Kenner's place looked extremely ‘promising. | hird base finds the hard hitting Sherman Baylor of the Tigers, the ‘aged but stiill active Harry Williams of the Bears, the consistent Furbey of the Buffaloes and the flashy Pendleton ‘of the Giants, a collection of food players with the former getting the margin, Two clever outfielders, Grant of Piedmont and Stewart of the Bears ‘were generally missing when their iteams were playing. Smith and 'Pough of the Tigers, Pierson of the ‘Bears, Moten and Harrison of the 'Buffaloes and Perry of the Piedmonts owere other good gardeners. | Lewis of the Tigers, Greenfield and 'Banks of the Piedmonts and Payne of ithe Bears were'the best of the back- stops. Of this collection it is hard to de- termine if any will go up to the semi- pro ranks next year. As it looks to the writer Bland and Barner may make the grade if they work to that end. From a fielding standpoint Ben Fells could move up. Greenfield has ‘everything in his favor. A year or two with a smart backstop will help ‘him. Just how good Nickens is cen ‘not be determined until he takes the ‘game seriously. Smith lacks the con- trol necessary to be a good pitcher.

Whitehead) Lawrenceville, Va. — St. Paul's football squad, from which Coach Douglass will pick the fastest, most alert and formidable varsity machine that has ever donned the Orange and Black togs, is composed of forty men, with an average weight of 169 pounds, and an average age of 20 years. With three exceptions, last year's varsity team is intact. "Judge" Vaughan Miller and Williams are the absentees. Vaughan is certain not to show up but there is a probability of Miller's and Williams' returning. The boys are showing up remarkably well in speed, agility, endurance and scrimmage. Tackling the dummy, muscular exercises, running, jumping, and signal drill cover the diurnal pastime. The lads are grasping the instructions and fundamentals encouragingly; they are imbued with the "Old St. Paul Spirit," and that undaunted determination, which is a never dying characteristic of St. Paul- AMOS HOKUM TOOTH HERE LIKE A R WAS IT.

PULLMAN PORTER TIPS (By Quentin) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 THERE SHE IS DOC, ALL FIXED UP. ANY THING ELSE? YES, THERES A LEAKY RADIATOR OUT IN THE FRONT OFFICE MIGHT AS WELL GET EVERYTHING FIXED FOR WINTER STEVE'S WORK PLUMBER LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Miscegenation is Intolerable To the Editor of The Tribute; In a world of "do-it-nowers," a knowledge of brief summaries of extensive areas of information concerning certain things and state of affairs is in great demand. Robert Watson, an ex-judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina, feels that " it is laid upon him" to be a valuable compendium of useful information on the subject of "The Black Man." In the September issue of "Current History," pages 945-951, inclusive, under the caption of "Should The Color Line Go?" he gives the facts concerning racial friction and the only acceptable solution—Deportation. Born a Southerner, educated as one, "sucked the breast of a Negro woman, listened to the wonderful tales of my father's slaves, rode 'horse' on their backs, ate their ash cake in the cabin" qualifies him to be "impartial" to only the "white man's negro." He can only be expected—blinded by prejudice—to give such solution which does not tend to undermine the institution that he and his kind have striven so hard to perpetuate. Race friction will exist between the white and black races as long as the two races remain distinct. Judge Winston has studied this condition, found the cause and the solution. To remove this intolerable condition, one must remove the cause. The Negro is the cause so he finds, therefore, deport the Negro. Miscegenation, a blending of the races, would produce a mulatto civilization, prevent race conflict, but cannot be countenanced. Miscegenation is not acceptable to the Southern white man, though it is the most homogenous, inevitable solution, because he is "tenacious of his rights," demands "race integrity, race autonomy." Yet, before the Civil War, "sexual relation between the races was frequent. Neither comment nor sense of shame was entailed by what went on among white youths and colored girls. Nor was it uncommon at that time for white men to keep Negro women and to rear children." Since then, twenty-nine States have laws, "sustained by public sentiment, which condemn the practice, which has become a badge of shame." But the census tells a different tale. The condemnation is but figurative. In different sections of the United States, the percentage of increase of mulatto, has varied from 30.2 to 680.4 since 1850. An on-coming storm, to which we must bow our heads and "forget skin-color and concentrate attention upon matters of real importance to organized society." Deportation, colonization of the Negro, throwing him upon an island where he may be used as a tool to perpetuate the white man's institution as the plucky little republic (Liberia), who, at the request of the United States, "jumped into the great war and lost shipping and commerce; her towns by German gunboats," and is still waiting for the United States of make a loan of $5,000,000.00, is something the best thinkers of the race will not countenance in spite of Garvey's principal and philosophy. I. L. PARKER. 1905 7th St., N.W. Washington, D. C. According to the above title of an article which appears in the September issue of Current History you would naturally expect a discussion of what the author believes to be "The Negro's Greatest Enemy." The title is a suggestive one. Like the banners carrying mystical or fantastic inscriptions, used in a recent parade in New York, it has a tendency to inspire or at least, to demand a reading. But after reading, you find that you have read an autobiography, and have casually come across this statement: "the Negro has become his own greatest enemy," with little or nothing in support of it. Marcus Garvey started out to "Redeem Africa," but landed in the Federal penitentiary, convicted of "using the United States mails to defraud investors." The writer either made the wrong selection of his caption or discussed the wrong subject. Something was wrong. LEMME LOOK IT OVER! DR. YAMKUIM DENTIST Jim Watson sion of the title would not be amiss, since your attention has been attracted. The Negro has enemies, but his "greatest" is not himself, but his fear. Doubt, anxiety, self depreciation, jealousy, lack of self-confidence, self esteem—any one of which is sufficient fear to make his life, his hope, his aim, failures. All have fears, some protective, justifiable, but the ones which the Negro needs most to kill are the unreasonable ones just mentioned. The parents, the most responsibles in rearing a child, must realize the fact that a child has no fear until the seed is planted in its mind. Its mind is like a piece of red-hot iron in the hands of the village blacksmith. Environment, association, suggestion, all shape it for either useful or worthless purposes. Fear is poisonous, it is destructive. It makes vagabonds of us, it vanishes faith, eliminates action, kills confidence, the death of which means failure. Kill fear, the "Negro's Greatest Enemy." The 1924 Edition of "Follow Me will make its appearance at the Howard Theatre for a stay of two weeks commencing Monday night September 24th with matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and a midnight show Friday. "Follow Me" is the musical comedy road attraction that created such favorable comment here last season. The cast this season is greatly increased and augmented by many names celebrated in the theatrical world. Among those best known are Billy Higgins and Clifford Ross, two inimitable and irresistible funmakers. Ernest Whitman, the smiling and unctuous "straight man" with the voice of an opera singer, and clever Julius Costello with his nimble flying feet.

If Just to each person the rights his fellows have, heirs and which they enjoy, we would ask the forcing that phrase of this great Constitution director of persons.

Monday, September 17, was the 136th birthday of the Constitution of these United States. This week has been celebrated as "Constitution Week." Special sermons were preached last Sunday on the Constitution and what it means. day on the Constitution and what it means. In keeping with the spirit of the week, Fred B. Smith, preaching at the First Congregationalist church, spoke a propos of the Constitution. President Coolidge and family were present. Constitution. President Coolidge and this paragraph from Mr. Smith's sermon is outstanding: "Drunkenness is not the meanest sin. Nor is social sin the meanest sin. The meanest sin is ingratitude—ingratitude to the persons who have made you what you are." son who have made you what you are. If "ingratitude is the meanest sin," as characterized by the Reverend Smith, before the President, last Sunday; then the white people of this country, in general, are "the meanest" folks in the world and the Republican party in particular is "the meanest" political organization in the world. This country has been built off human slavery, particularly the southern half of it. And the country, as a whole, has proven its ingratitude to the slaves and their descendants. The Constitution is less than a scrap of paper where the Negro is concerned. where the Negro is concerned. The Republican party was built up and maintained by the loyal and unqualified support and allegiance of the Negro. The Republican party has been the personification of ingratitude—“the meanest sin” in the world, according to the Reverend Smith. The republican party is ungrateful to the Negro when it sanctions his disfranchisement; when it upholds and fosters segregation in the civil service of the government; when it enforces taxation without representation; when it acquiesces in the enforcement of the Jim crow car law on the public transportation systems of the South; when its officials fail to appoint a Negro personnel to man the segregated hospital at Tuskegee, and when it fails to recognize the Negro in appointive governmental offices. President Coolidge is quoted as saying: "To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race." If he thinks that, then why does not he, as chief Executive officer of the Constitution, enforce it in all of the States of his union, in order that all of the citizens living under the jurisdiction of this great Constitution can enjoy that privilege? This, "the greatest political privilege" is denied many millions of our citizens, Mr. President, when they are forced to remain away from the polls in practically every Southern state, at all elections. The "preamble" to the Constitution, is the key to it and in it we find this phrase—"To establish Justice." If Justice means the securing to each person the rights his fellows have ordained should be theirs and which they enjoy, we would ask the President if he is enforcing that phrase of this great Constitution? Justice is no respector of persons. Justice knows no color. Justice should guard the rights of all. The Constitution represents a government of law; but thru failure of the authorities to enforce the Constitution, ours is fast becoming a government of force. We are substituting the K. K. K. for the U. S. A. The big question before the American public today is: What are we going to do with our Constitution? Shall we continue to enforce certain sections and amendments and let the others go by default, and thereby permit an "invisible empire" to be established, where "might is right" altho hidden by a hood? We will welcome the full enforcement of the Constitution and pray for that day to come—for that set of officers who have the moral courage to live up to their oaths. Mr. and Mrs. William H.

Concert Com-music reci-ri-ly for this the most out singers time, Miss returned in tour and tour in this old over her time recital, ease and pro- all agreed superb and in fact they wrote only classic forms in music such as polyphonic, oratorio, opera, sonata and symphony but alas, we find that they wrote other classes as well which any serious student should know. The early church and music were closely identified. During the one thousand years following the birth of Christ, the art, poetry and music of the world were closely connected with the efforts of the Church to bring the nations of Europe from pagan beliefs to the Christian religion. Great cathedrals were built and the ablest artists and sculptors decorated them. Naturally, the foremost thinkers and musicians of the day gave their best to the Church. Tradition tells us that Pope Sylvester established the first school for the training of church singers. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, is said to have invented one set of scales and to have done much to promote musical art. In that day, about 330, A.D., the Church leaders did everything in their power to bring out the best in education, art, poetry and music, and the most important work in music during these years was done under the influence of the Church. The Gregorian style, supposed to have been originated by Pope Gregory I, is the sole music for regular use in the Catholic church since his time down to the present period. Martin Luther, the 'Reformer' was a musician and one of his best known hymn-tunes is the fine old chorale, Ein Feste Burg ist unser Gott. No wonder the masters wrote church music. Bach made up his mind early to devote himself to church music and at fifteen secured a position in a choir. Handel was brought up by his mother, who was a minister's daughter and at seventeen became organist of a Cathedral. His oratorio, "The Messiah" is famous Haydn at eight joined a famous choir. His "Creation" and "Seven Last Words" is frequently given to this day. Thus the compositions of the masters are to be found in the church choir of today and it would prove interesting study to peruse them for their harmony and richly profused color. A typographical error An error occurred in this column last issue as follows: "And Dorsey Rhodes, the conductor, we write under his name the one word 'Finis' thereby better expressing our idea of Centigutty to Face," which should have been "Contiguity to Fame."

The Washington Concert Company" announces the first music recital of "The Artist Series" for this season presenting one of the most famous and most talked-about singers of the race at the present time, Miss Abbie Mitchell who recently returned from a notable European tour and now on a most successful tour in this country. New York city went wild over her singing in her first home recital. Adept critics, conservative and progressive musicians allike all agreed that her renditions were superb and her voice like a nightingale's. In fact, one particular eminent musician who holds two music degrees and a membership in a leading musical fraternity attended the recital with skepticism and at its conclusion proclaimed her positively as the greatest singer of the race today. That's putting it quite strong to say the least, with such a splendid galaxy of race stars, or supposed stars if you prefer, but the musician in question is certainly of the discriminating type and too, is thoroughly conversant with his musical lexicon and of necessity we must conclude that he speaks authoritatively. Then, Washington must and shall hear her and altho you may have heard her previously you should again hear her as the "finished product." The Washington Concert Company presents Miss Mitchell at the Lincoln Theatre, U Street Northwest, Wednesday evening, October 3rd, 1923. New Company Promoting The Washington Concert Company, lately organized for the promotion of artist recitals by the race's leading stars, makes its initial bow to the public in this presentation, the membership of which is as follows: Roy W.

CHURCH HYMNAL TEEMS WITH MASTERS' WORKS Leisurely idling among books the other day, we came across a well-known church hymnal and while quietly perusing its pages we noted the works of such masters as Bach who composed one piece; Handel, ten hymns; Haydn, nine hymns; Mozart, five hymns; Mendelssohn, four hymns; Schumann, two hymns and Gounod, one hymn. Most music students believe that Mr. Gwathney of Trenton, N. J. is spending a few days in the city visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. Sarah L.

THE DOT ON THE I Isn't it strange what a train of thoughts will sometimes get started without any apparent reason and persist until something has been done about it? Take the dot on the i, for instance. Why was it put there, and when, and by whom? Pursuing a desire to learn something of it, we find in the New International Encyclopedia this information: "Originally the Semitic letter represented the consonantal sound y, but later was also used to indicate the vowel i. The dot over our small i did not come into use until the fourteenth century." That was not very satisfactory, so we tried Nelson's Encyclopedia: "The early Semitic form is like a Z, but with a third horizontal stroke in the middle. It quickly simplified itself in the Greek alphabet to its present form. . . Since the eleventh century first an accent, then a dot has been employed to distinguish it from other letters." Well, we found out something about it, anyway—The Publishers' Auxiliary. 2 2 (Drawing Series, No. 12) You are to take the figure "2" as it appears above and make it a part of a picture.

A basket of potatoes is placed upon a table in the centre of the room. To each person is given a spoon, upon which a potato is balanced. He is to carry this in his left hand, to the music of any popular song or dance. They march around the room three times, keeping in step with the music.

(17) THE POTATO MARCH EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Reprinted from above-named book, by permission of author) 14 THE FUGITIVE'S STORY, group, John Rogers, sculptor THE JOHN ROGERS GROUPS "THE FUGITIVE'S STORY" "The Fugitive's Story" is restrained and subdued, yet touching and eloquent in its appeal. The fugitive—a woman with a small baby in her arms and a small bundle containing her all at her feet—stands before a desk at which sits a man whose features identify him as the valiant ed- THE FUGITIVE'S STORY, itor of the "Liberator," William Lloyd Garrison. Standing near by, are two other champions of Freedom: Henry Ward Beecher, preacher, and John Greenleaf Whittier, poet. Notwithstanding their diminutive size, these portrait figures are excellent likenesses. In fact, it is their presence and their striking characterizations in this group, that most makes it notable. No doubt the artist would have liked to include in it others equally as deserving: perhaps Phillips, Sumner, and Stevens; John Brown, Levi Coffin, and Frederick Douglass. But sculptural limitations would scarcely permit the inclusion of so many. However, these three fairly well represented the entire body of the Friends of Freedom, epitomizing, as they did, the three main divisions: the militant, the political, and those whose chief appeal was to the heart and conscience. And Rogers, who evidently was well acquainted with the history of his time. AN OLD GAME By Mrs. Lucille L. Davis The Lawyer The company must form in two rows, opposite to and facing each other, leaving room for the Lawyer to pass up and down between them. When all are seated, the one who personates the Lawyer will ask a question or address a remark to one of the persons present, either standing before the person addressed, or calling his name. The one spoken to is not to answer, but the one opposite to him must reply to the question. The object of the Lawyer is to make either the one he speaks to answer him, or the one who should answer to keep silent; therefore, he should be quick in hurrying from one player to another with his questions, taking them by surprise, and noticing those who are the most inattentive. No one must be allowed to remind another of his turn to speak. When the Lawyer has succeeded in either making one speak that should not, or finding any who did not answer when they should, they must exchange places with each other, and the one caught becomes Lawyer after he has paid any forfeit placed against him by the Lawyer who caught him. This game will be found quite amusing if conducted with spirit. THE NEW ARITHMETIC "I am not much of a mathematician," said the cigarette, "but I can add to a man's nervous troubles; I can subtract from his physical energy; I can multiply his aches and pains; I can divide his mental powers; I take interest from his work and discount his chances for success." There is always room for improvement. and in full sympathy with the work of these men, brings out in a happy manner the varied temperaments of the three, each of whom, as I have indicated, advocated a somewhat different method of combating slavery; though all of them, as we know, were bitterly opposed to it. Indeed, as one looks at this group, it is difficult not to pay more attention to the listening "audience" than to the speaking "actor," the fugitive who is telling the story. Those who have some knowledge of group, John Rogers, sculptor the different temperaments of these men, perhaps will best appreciate this group. How the fugitive's story must have stirred the fighting blood of Garrison, making him, if possible, more determinedly aggressive and uncompromising than before; we can imagine, but perhaps not fully appreciate, how the tender, poetic heart of Whittier must have grieved; and back of Beecher's pity and Godly indignation, a full realization of the injustice of the Nation's tolerance was calculated to rouse his masterful mind to practical action. Although our picture of this group is a poor one, yet after studying it, we are bound to concede that Rogers could delineate character—personal character—when he choose to do so or had need; for the figures here are not merely likenesses, they are also true and strong characterizations. (Continued next week) QUESTION BOX Mr. Frazier: Does the "Constitution of the United States" start with these words: "When, in the course of human events, it becomes, etc." If this is not part of the Constitution; what is it part of? When was the constitution adopted? J. D. McD. Answer: The word's above are part of the first paragraph of the "Declaration of Independence" which was adopted in Congress, July 4, 1776, at Philadelphia. The constitution (originally consisting of a Preamble and seven articles) was "Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the States present the Seventh day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth." The Constitution was declared in effect on the first Wednesday in March, 1789. The first words of the Constitution are: Preamble We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. WHAT EVERY NEGRO MUSICIAN SHOULD THINK Because I am a Negro I am going to help my racial brothers by playing more of their music. If I were a composer I should like to hear my racial brothers play my compositions in public. Thrift is self-control. There are two goals marked off by a white line; players, representing the sharp and flat scales, sit or stand on one side of the goal while a single player (King Harmony) is stationed half way between. Each player wears a placeard bearing his scale name, F sharp, A flat, E, etc. King Harmony cries out, "Red rose, who knows where A flat goes?" Whereupon A flat comes out and tries to reach the opposite goal without being caught by King Harmony. If A flat is caught, she becomes a princess and must stay in the middle and help King Harmony catch the next scale called. If A flat is a boy he becomes a prince. Those who succeed in winning the opposite goal are again called for, and the play continues until all are in the middle. The last one caught is the winner, and becomes King Harmony for the next game. The Prima Donna and the Impresarios The players are divided into two equal parties, each having a home marked off at opposite ends of the lawn, with a neutral space between. One party represents a prima donna (deciding among themselves which opera singer they shall represent—Melba, Calve, Caruso, etc.). They then walk over to the home line of the opposite party, the opposite players, representing the impresarios, stand in a row on their line ready to run. They try to guess the name of the prima donna chosen by their opponents. As soon as the right opera singer is named the entire party owning it turn and run home, the impresarios chasing them. Any players caught by the impresarios before reaching home become part of this opera company. The remaining prima donnas repeat their play, taking a different name each time. The game continues until all the stars of the opera have been caught. The last one caught is the winner and is crowned "Queen of Song." COMMON ERROR IN GRAMMAR Words "Begun" and "Began" Are Wrongly Used by Those Careless In Their Speech It is quite common to hear someone say, "I begin to do that work yesterday," "The battle begun between the two armies," etc. This use of "begun" to express the past tense of "begin" is not incorrect, according to some authorities on the uses of words but there is a fairly general agreement that the better word to use is "began." If you wish to safe guard yourself against possible criticism, say "I began to do that work yesterday," "The battle began between the two armies," etc., not "begun." Richard Grant White, in "Words and Their Uses," a high authority, criticises and condemns the use of "begun" instead of "began" to express the past. Of course, it is incorrect beyond any doubt to say, "I have began" to express the perfect tense of "begin." Say, "I have begun," never "I have began." SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT What do you make of the in the tropics, there are two species of spiders, one of which is green and constructs its web on a tree with living foliage; the other is brown and builds on a tree with dead foliage. Knock the branch on which the web is constructed hard enough to dislodge a half dozen leaves and the spider will fall with the leaves, but he will extend his body in such a way as to assume the appearance of a descending leaf. The keenest observer cannot pick out the spider from the leaves. But here is the astonishing fact: The brownish spider realizing that he has to assume the appearance of a leaf that is dead and hence lighter than a green leaf, will float aimlessly down exactly as a dead leaf does, and he thus takes two or three extra seconds of time to travel approximately the same space as his green cousin a few yards away. "Now," says R. J. E. Hulse, who gives us this information, "conceive of the many millions of generations which must necessarily have lived and died for the brown spider's ancestral intellect to have grasped the fact that the law of gravitation pulls a dead leaf down slower that it does a live one, and you have something to worry about." PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" "Come, my child," said a mother one day As she lay on her dying bed. "Before I go to my home in heaven, I want to teach you a lesson," she said. The boy came quickly and willingly, He had always been taught to obey, Full well he knew that his mother Would soon be laid away. "My child," she said, in a faint, sad voice, "You will find after I have gone — Even through life I have passed with a smile— Life's battle is more than a song. Neither may you win a victory But you must do the best you can. "What I want you to remember Is this, my little man, Though 'tis great to be a hero It is more to be a man. "Tell me, darling," she said weakly, Reaching for the out-stretched hand "Will my darling e'er deceive me, Will he fail to be a man? "Answer quickly, time is passing, Tell me now that I may rest Will you always do your duty Always seek that which is best?" Blinded with tears; and heart most broken, Saying as he grasped her hand, "I will try to be a hero And I will strive to be a man." Wide the gates of heaven opened To welcome home a soul to rest And to record there a promise At a dying mother's request. So the boy grew up to manhood Seeking ever the things that were best. And he always kept before him His darling mother's last request. God to us the key has given That we always foresee and plan → If you cannot be a hero You can strive to be a man. WHERE TOMMY MADE A POINT Arithmetic, according to the average small boy, was simply invented in order to give teachers a good excuse for punishing their unhappy pupils. And certainly little Tommy Smith found it the unpleasant feature of his young life. "Now, Tommy Smith," said the school teacher one morning, during the usual hour of torture, "what is the half of eight?" "Which way, teacher?" asked the youngster cautiously. "Which way!" replied the astonished lady. "What do you mean?" "Well, on top or sideways, teacher?" said Tommy. "What difference does that make?" "Why," Tommy explained, with a pitying air, "half of the top of eight is nought, but half of it sideways is three." WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? By "Addison" Life is change and soon it bringeth All that mortal man may know. Scenes of pleasures where joy singeth Or sorrow where tears flow. Changing—is it for the better? Changing—is it for the worse? Changing slowly, changing surely— Does the change mean weal, or curse? Eyes are dimmer, ears are duller, Stiffer are the steps and slow; Has the heart grown gentler, kinder As the fires of life burn low? On the head the hoar frost gathers, Time has wrinkled cheeks and brow, Is the character more gracious, Full of love and wisdom now? Bended is the back with bearing Burdens that have taxed the strength Has the toiler learned life's lesson? Does he lean on God at length? Or is all that life has brought him, Empty heart and aching head; Places vacant, strength departed Selfish sighs, hope well-nigh dead? LEARN TO THINK Children, it is your duty to think. Each of you have the ability to do so Think earnestly and hard. Do not be content to let others do all the thinking for you. To form the habit of thinking for one's self is a good trait. Learn to think—cultivate the habit of thinking. Strive to think so that you will be benefited by your thoughts.
