Persona Interested In tho education
of the colored joutli In Washington
rocenlly had an opportunity to seo a
quadruple! exhibit showing what Is
being dono In tho way ot training
colored boys and girls. Tho fourfold
exhibit was at tho Miner Normal
school Georgia avenuo and Euclid
street northwest. Tho greater por-
tion ot It was work dono on tho play-
grounds during tho summer; added to
this were models showing dairy water
supply housekeeping and other moth-
ods sanitary and Insanitary Tho re-
maining two phases were In one senso
not an exhibit ot a formal nnturo. be-
ing only the regular arrangement of
material for study by students at the
normal school and Included the
courses In domestic and other sci-
ences such as botany zoology and
psychology. Interested persons wero
made Melcomo at tho school and
shown tho exhibits and school equip-
ment. No group of thn exhibit was moro
Interesting probably than the display
of playground work. This represent-
ed all of tho Industrial activities of
tho five rolorcd school grounds under
Miss Anita J. Turner. "Service" Is
tho motto for all work turned out
that Is. It must bo of a character and
structuro that allows Kb use.
Tor Instance on display wcro all
sorts of baskets well mado and at-
tractively colored; pockctbnoks
crocheted Backs and bootcos aprons
llttlo dresses cellars doilies hats
napkin rlngv and hammocks. Several
Klrls uttcndlng the play centers
.brought their dolls and dressed them
l'lay aprons for children were mado
by tho youngsters and decorated wltn
subjects dear to tho hearts of llttlo
ones tho throe bears tho cow that
Jumped over tho moon rabbits birds
camels elephants and Mother Gooso.
One especially attractlvo display
was for table use. It Included a con-
terpteco adapted for tho Joint use of
flowers and fruit; dollies reed nap-
kin rings and coasters.
tlocauso of tho lack ot money for
material work ot this sort Is limited.
It Is hoped that congress will appro-
priate a sum for carrying It on bo that
tho maintenance money no longer
will havo to bo raised through enter-
tainments and other similar means.
Mrs. Susan Gillies a Negro worn'
an who according to tho claim of her
relatives was born a slave on a plan-
tation In Virginia 115 years ago died
at her homo 671 Classon avenue
llrooklyn. Tho aged Negress lived
with her daughter; Mrs. Julia Thom-
as eighty-four years of ago and her
great-granddaughter Mrs. Ella Ab-
bott. Five generations of Mrs. Mi-
nes' family attended her funeral.
Mrs. Thomas was very positive as
to tho ago ot her mother. Sho de-
clared that Bho was born In tho year
1800 at Peterborough Va on the Pe-
terson plantation and lived In servl-
tudo with tho Peterson family until
1SG3. Mrs. Thomas declared that her
mother often told her ot visits paid
to tho plantation by James Monroe
boforo and after his terms ib presi-
dent of tho United States. Mrs. Thom-
as was born on the same plantation
and sho also lived In slavery until
1SC3.
If ho (Hooker Washington) seemed
to undcrcmphnslzo thu difficulties
growing out of external political and
social restriction It was rather duo to
bis unceasing cry that tho kingdom
ot power and wealth and dignity can
rest finally only on spiritual achieve-
ment sclt-conti V foresight thrift tho
prnctlcu of tho common virtues. No
breaking out of tho outer bonds can
atono free the spiritual Blavo. . . .
No one could hear him with nn oon
mind however and fnll to rcallzo that
his message was equally applicable to
tho white race. No ono could fall to
roallzo that he saw tho weakness ot
his white neighbors nnd folt tho bit-
terness of tho political nnd social re-
strictions enforced by tho whites.
liookcr T Washington was how-
over always moro than o Negro
nobly human within his rare and bo-
causo ot this the simple peoplo of his
own race tho honest-hearted of both
races heard and followed llo had
many great human qualities of leader-
ship ot organizing capacity ot nri
torlcal power and of Imagination
his contribution Is richer bcratisi
gifts peculiar to his peoplo. That rn
humor thu oxqulnlto sense of aupth
er's feeling that is tho basis ot social
power rich vocabulary high emotion-
al appeal! American llfo would be so
enormously enriched It we thought In
terms of what colored peoplo can do
Instead of what thoy must bo prevent-
ed from trying to dol . . .
And so his contribution U tho think-
ing of the white South has not always
been clear. Though tho least thought-
ful realized that he was not a "com
mon Nigger" to bo called "Hooker'
they did not always arrlvo at the
point of recognizing tho dignity of tho
man by calling him "mister;" but they
could find a middle path by calling
him "professor." Tor thousands of
wlilto pcrsonB that short Btcp Is the
first advanco In tho direction of free-
ing their own spirits. Kor of course
tho raco or casto feeling Is a band
tight about tho spirits of tho white
South to many of whom Hooker T.
Washington gavo tho first glimmering
senso of their own bondage.
For these his service Ib Incalculable
one never to bo measured and to bo
recognized only gradually and by rela-
tively few. And yet as tho nation
could not live half bond nnd half free
In the days of political slavery bo In
tho days to como tho spiritual bonds
of prcjudlco are to be broken from
the whlto South as thoso to which ho
called attention nro to bo stricken from
tho black South. Only when both aro
removed will cither bo wholly froo.

There aro about 12000 cremations
each year In tho United States. The
first - crematory was established In
1870 and during the eight succeeding
years only 28 human bodies were
cremated.'
In a communication to the New
York World A. J. Casscrly of Jersey
City N. J. writes as follows:
I read with considerable Interest
your editorial "Somo Natlvo Sons."
In thnso days of criticism of hyphen-
ated citizens your rcferenro to a class
of citizens which Is content to bo
plain pure simple Americans fur-
nishes Borne food for serious thought.
You havo rightly sold that "one ot
tho strongest of their racial character
istics Is devotion to country and
homo." This virtue has been mani-
fest long prior to and since tho days
ot Jcthro of the laud of Mldlan. His-
tory reports the vlow that the black
man haB always proven true to home
nnd country.
God forbid that tho great mass of
American Negroes should boast un-
seemly of our forefathers' dovotlon
and worth or of their own Pre-eminently
on thu pages of history Is em-
blazoned tho fact that In no crisis has
tho black man been found wanting In
devotion to right or In seeking out
and supporting tho truth as It was
given to him to know It.
J"ho first president born In the Uni-
ted States of America after tho sign-
ing ot tho Declaration of Independ-
ence and thn establishment of nation-
al unity was Martin Van Huron who
was born In tho Btato of New York
In 1782.
not be amiss to refer to tho agitation
ot a fow years ago begun by loyal
American Negroes for participation
In the National Guard service of the
country. I submit that no Just rea-
son may be advanced why there
should not bo In every state of this
Union colored regiments or battal-
ions connected with tho National
fluard system. To such a program
the rank and Illo ot American Negroes
would Ignoring past rebuffs uncondi-
tionally subscribe.
