CHAPTER XXXVII.
JOAN IMOGEN HOWARD, A. M.
This very excellent lady, of whom the race is proud, Joan Imogen Howard, was born in the city of Boston, Mass. Her father, Edwin F. Howard, is an old and well-known citizen of that city, and her mother, Joan L.
JOAN IMOGEN HOWARD, A. M.
Howard, now deceased, was a native of New York. She has one sister, Miss Adeline T. Howard, the principal of the Wormley School, Washington, D. C., and one brother, E. C. Howard, M. D., a prominent physician in the city of Philadelphia. Having a mother cultured, ​refined and intellectual, her earliest training was received from one well qualified to guide and direct an unfolding mind. At the age of fourteen, having completed the course prescribed in the Wells Grammar School, Blossom Street, Boston, she graduated with her class and was one of the ten honor pupils who received silver medals. Naturally this souvenir of her girlhood is greatly prized. Her parents encouraged her desire to pursue a higher course of instruction, and consequently, after a successful entrance examination, she became a student of the Girls' High and Normal School, as it was then called. She was the first colored young lady to enter and after a three years' course to graduate from this, which was at that time the highest institution of learning in her native city.
A situation as an assistant teacher in Colored Grammar School No. 4, now Grammar School No. 81, was immediately offered. Here she has labored ever since, endeavoring to harmoniously develop the pupils of both sexes who have been committed to her care, so that their physical, intellectual and moral powers might be so trained as to produce human beings of a high order. Many of her pupils have become men and women of worth and hold positions of honor and trust.
For several years an evening school, which was largely attended and of which she was principal, was carried on in the same building.
As time advances more is required of all individuals in every branch of labor. Teaching is no exception, and in recognition of this she took a course in "Methods ​of Instruction" at the Saturday sessions of the Normal College of New York City. She holds a diploma from this institution (1877), and thus has the privilege of signing "Master of Arts" to her name. This year (1892) still another step has been taken, for after a three years' course at the University of the Cit' of New York she has completed the junior course in the Department of Pedagogy and received the degree of "Master of Pedagogy."
The position on the Board of Women Managers of the State of New York for the Columbian Exposition was entirely unsought by her. Her experience has been a very pleasant one thus far, as she has received the most courteous treatment from the other ladies with whom she is associated in this vast undertaking. Her special position on the Board is as one of five of the Committee on Education.

CHAPTER XLII.
CAROLINE V. ANDERSON, A. M., M. D.
Caroline V. Anderson, A. M., M. D., the daughter of Hon. William Still, of "underground railroad" fame, was born in 1849. Reared in the "Quaker City" at a time that "tried men's souls," she early gave evidence of an aspiring mind and intellectual powers not of the ordinary. As a graduate from Oberlin College in 1868, at the age of eighteen, she had, in a measure, realized the rich promise of her early girlhood. She entered actively thence into the work for which by nature and accomplishments she was especially fitted. The work of teaching engaged her attention for a few years. Her instructions in the class-room were always clear, comprehensive, progressive, embellished by all the lights and graces which admirable common sense, observation and extensive reading could give. Her geniality was inspiring although it did not prevent her from being firm to her convictions, when convictions had to be maintained against assaults. In 1875 and '76 she held the position of teacher of music and instructor in drawing and elocution at Howard University, Washington, D. C. The movement in the direction of greater freedom to women, opening up avenues before closed and widening those already opened, found an earnest advocate in Dr. Anderson. In 1876 she entered the Medical Department of Howard, completing her course at the Women's Medical College in Philadelphia. ​Independent as she was resolute, the young physician by her unaided efforts built up a practice which was of several fold importance to her, to her sex and to her race; important to her not only from its pecuniary standpoint, but also in her deservedly receiving the respect and high esteem of her brother and sister practitioners of both races; for her sex and race it is a vindication; In several of the hospitals of the city she has served as resident, visiting and consulting physician. As the wife of Rev. Matthew Anderson, pastor of the Berean Presbyterian Church, she finds a special channel for various other energies in that work that is doing the most to humanize and elevate mankind. She is ardent in all Christian work, public-spirited and affectionate, and as a teacher, physician, mother and wife her life has been rich in incident, and with a modesty equal to her talents she invariably ascribes the attainment of her distinctions to persevering attention rather than to unusual mental capacity.

CHAPTER XLIII.
ST. AUGUSTINE SCHGOU, RALEIGH, N. C.
ST. AUGUSTINE SCHOOL, RALEIGH, N.C.
​schools for the Christian training of young men and women. It embraces Preparatory, Normal, Collegiate and Theological departments. At the present time instruction is also given in carpentry, in tinsmithing, in shoemaking, in bricklaying for the young men, and in sewing, cooking and the care of the household for the girls. It is hoped that industrial instruction may be extended in other directions very soon.
The girls and young men are together in the recitation-room, at their meals and in occasional social reunions, but otherwise the girls' department is managed separately and in a different building. Each girl is provided with her own dressing-room, furnished with a bureau-closet, each provided with a separate lock and key. Trunks are all kept in a trunk-room. Beds stand in the dormitory just outside of each girl's dressing-room. The grounds of the school are situated on an eminence just outside the city of Raleigh and particularly well situated with regard to health and beauty. Especial care is taken of the health of the students. In order to discourage extravagant dressing and cultivate taste for neat and tasteful dress the girls wear uniform dress of dark blue.
​Several hundred students have already been trained as teachers and a number of young men have been prepared for the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
The grounds of the school, embracing some forty-two acres, are devoted to a campus, surrounding the various school buildings, and to a garden in which supplies of fresh vegetables are raised for the school table. The whole property is situated on the outskirts of Raleigh, near enough for convenience and far enough out to be away from the distractions of city life.
While every effort is made to inculcate a respect for manual labor, yet nothing is allowed to interfere with progress in the various studies of the school. The faculty is an able one of ten teachers. Three of them are college graduates, four are graduates of the school, one of another normal school, and the author of this book is lecturer on physiology and the laws of health.
The invested funds of the school at present amount to something over $30,000, the income of which, along with the aid received from the Church, is used in carrying on the school. Total value of funds and school grounds, with buildings, is $65,000. The school charges $7 a month for board and tuition. All of the students are able to reduce this to about $5 per month or somewhat more, in needy cases, by manual work on the school grounds.
Progress is now a watchword of the school, but it is a progress that is conservative of the past as well as hopeful of the future. No progress is of any avail which does not lay its foundations in the moulding of Christian ​character, in teaching young men and young women to help themselves rather than depend on others, to be gentle men and women in word and manner, to hate sham and respect truth.
The present principal is the Rev. A. K. Hunter.

Mr. Justice WHITE, dissenting.
I would affirm the judgment below. Generally for the reasons stated by Mr. Justice HARLAN in Part IV of his separate opinion, I do not consider the Oregon statute to be an impermissible interference with foreign affairs. Nor am I persuaded that the Court's construction of the 1923 treaty in Clark v. Allen, 331 U.S. 503, 67 S.Ct. 1431 (1947), and of similar treaty language in earlier cases should be overruled at this late date.

# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Witch

THE WITCH
A WITCH professed to be able to avert the anger of the gods by means of charms, of which she alone possessed the secret; and she drove a brisk trade, and made a fat livelihood out of it. But certain persons accused her of black magic and carried her before the judges, and demanded that she should be put to death for dealings with the Devil. She was found guilty and condemned to death: and one of the judges said to her as she was leaving the dock, “You say you can avert the anger of the gods. How comes it, then, that you have failed to disarm the enmity of men?”

THE WOLF AND HIS SHADOW
A WOLF, who was roaming about on the plain when the sun was getting low in the sky, was much impressed by the size of his shadow, and said to himself, “I had no idea I was so big. Fancy my being afraid of a lion! Why, I, not he, ought to be King of the beasts”; and, heedless of danger, he strutted about as if there could be no doubt at all about it. Just then a lion sprang upon him and began to devour him. “Alas,” he cried, “had I not lost sight of the facts, I shouldn’t have been ruined by my fancies.”

THE WOLF AND THE GOAT
A WOLF caught sight of a Goat browsing above him on the scanty herbage that grew on the top of a steep rock; and being unable to get at her, tried to induce her to come lower down. “You are risking your life up there, madam, indeed you are,” he called out: “pray take my advice and come down here, where you will find plenty of better food.” The Goat turned a knowing eye upon him. “It’s little you care whether I get good grass or bad,” said she: “what you want is to eat me.”

THE WOLF AND THE HORSE
A WOLF on his rambles came to a field of oats, but, not being able to eat them, he was passing on his way when a Horse came along. “Look,” said the Wolf, “here’s a fine field of oats. For your sake I have left it untouched, and I shall greatly enjoy the sound of your teeth munching the ripe grain.” But the Horse replied, “If wolves could eat oats, my fine friend, you would hardly have indulged your ears at the cost of your belly.”
There is no virtue in giving to others what is useless to oneself.

THE WOLF AND THE CRANE
A WOLF once got a bone stuck in his throat. So he went to a Crane and begged her to put her long bill down his throat and pull it out. “I’ll make it worth your while,” he added. The Crane did as she was asked, and got the bone out quite easily. The Wolf thanked her warmly, and was just turning away, when she cried, “What about that fee of mine?” “Well, what about it?” snapped the Wolf, baring his teeth as he spoke; “you can go about boasting that you once put your head into a Wolf’s mouth and didn’t get it bitten off. What more do you want?”

THE WOLF AND THE LION
A WOLF stole a lamb from the flock and was carrying it off to devour it at his leisure when he met a Lion, who took his prey away from him and walked off with it. He dared not resist, but when the Lion had gone some distance he said, “It is most unjust of you to take what’s mine away from me like that.” The Lion laughed and called out in reply, “It was justly yours, no doubt! The gift of a friend, perhaps, eh?”

THE WOLF, THE FOX, AND THE APE
A WOLF charged a Fox with theft, which he denied, and the case was brought before an Ape to be tried. When he had heard the evidence on both sides, the Ape gave judgment as follows: “I do not think,” he said, “that you, O Wolf, ever lost what you claim; but all the same I believe that you, Fox, are guilty of the theft, in spite of all your denials.”
The dishonest get no credit, even if they act honestly.

# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Wolf and the Boy

THE WOLF AND THE BOY
A WOLF, who had just enjoyed a good meal and was in a playful mood, caught sight of a Boy lying flat upon the ground, and, realising that he was trying to hide, and that it was fear of himself that made him do this, he went up to him and said, “Aha, I’ve found you, you see; but if you can say three things to me, the truth of which cannot be disputed, I will spare your life.” The Boy plucked up courage and thought for a moment, and then he said, “First, it is a pity you saw me; secondly, I was a fool to let myself be seen; and thirdly, we all hate wolves because they are always making unprovoked attacks upon our flocks.” The Wolf replied, “Well, what you say is true enough from your point of view; so you may go.”
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Wolf, the Mother, and Her Child

THE WOLF, THE MOTHER, AND HER CHILD
A HUNGRY Wolf was prowling about in search of food. By and by, attracted by the cries of a Child, he came to a cottage. As he crouched beneath the window, he heard the Mother say to the Child, “Stop crying, do! or I’ll throw you to the Wolf.” Thinking she really meant what she said, he waited there a long time in the expectation of satisfying his hunger. In the evening he heard the Mother fondling her Child and saying, “If the naughty Wolf comes, he shan’t get my little one: Daddy will kill him.” The Wolf got up in much disgust and walked away: “As for the people in that house,” said he to himself, “you can’t believe a word they say.”
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Wolf and the Lamb

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB
A WOLF came upon a Lamb straying from the flock, and felt some compunction about taking the life of so helpless a creature without some plausible excuse; so he cast about for a grievance and said at last, “Last year, sirrah, you grossly insulted me.” “That is impossible, sir,” bleated the Lamb, “for I wasn’t born then.” “Well,” retorted the Wolf, “you feed in my pastures.” “That cannot be,” replied the Lamb, “for I have never yet tasted grass.” “You drink from my spring, then,” continued the Wolf. “Indeed, sir,” said the poor Lamb, “I have never yet drunk anything but my mother’s milk.” “Well, anyhow,” said the Wolf, “I’m not going without my dinner”: and he sprang upon the Lamb and devoured it without more ado.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aiguille

See also our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AIGUILLE (Fr. for needle), the sharp jagged points above the snow-line, standing upon the massif of a mountain split by frost action along joints or planes of cleavage with sides too steep for snow to rest upon them. Aiguilles are thus the forms remaining from the splitting up of the high ridges with house-roof structure into detached pinnacles.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aigrette

See also Aigrette on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AIGRETTE (from the Fr. for egret, or lesser white heron), the tufted crest, or head-plumes of the egret, used for adorning a woman’s head-dress, the term being also given to any similar ornament, in gems, &c. An aigrette is also worn by certain ranks of officers in the French army. By analogy the word is used in various sciences for feathery excrescences of like appearance, as for the tufts on the heads of insects, the feathery down of the dandelion, the luminous rays at the end of electrified bodies, or the luminous rays seen in solar eclipses, diverging from the moon’s edge.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aiguillette

See also Aiguillette and Aiguillette (ornament) on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AIGUILLETTE (Fr. diminutive of aiguille, a needle; the obsolete English form is “aglet“), originally a tag of metal, often made of precious metals and richly chased, attached to the end of a lace or ribbon, and pointed, so as to pass more easily through eyelet holes. The term was, in time, applied to any bright ornament or pendant for the dress made of metal, and is now specially used of ornamental cords and tags of gold and silver lace, worn on naval and military uniforms. The aiguillette is fastened to the shoulder, the various cords hanging down therefrom being fastened at their other end on the front of the coat.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aigues-Mortes

See also Aigues-Mortes on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AIGUES-MORTES, a town of south-eastern France, in the department of Gard 25 m. S.S.W. of Nîmes, on a branch line of the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée railway. Pop. (1906) 3577. Aigues-Mortes occupies an isolated position in the marshy plain at the western extremity of the Rhone delta, 21/2 m. from the Golfe du Lion. It owes its celebrity to the medieval fortifications of remarkable completeness with which it is surrounded. They form a parallelogram 596 yds. long by 149 yds. broad, and consist of crenellated walls from 25 to 36 ft. in height, dominated at intervals by towers. Of these, the Tour de Constance, built by Louis IX., is the most interesting; it commands the northwestern angle of the ramparts, and contains two circular, vaulted chambers, used as prisons for Protestants after the revocation of the edict of Nantes. The remainder of the fortifications were built in the reign of Philip III. Aigues-Mortes is the meeting-place of several canals connecting it with Beaucaire, with Cette, with the Lesser Rhone and with the Mediterranean, on which it has a small port. Fishing and the manufacture of soda are the chief industries with which the town is connected. It has trade in coal, oranges and other fruits, and in wine. In the surrounding country there are important vineyards, which are preserved from disease by periodical submersion. There is a statue in the town in memory of Louis IX. who embarked from Aigues-Mortes in 1248 and 1270 for the seventh and eighth crusades. To further the prosperity of the town a most liberal charter was granted to it, and in addition the trade of the port was artificially fostered by a decree requiring that every vessel navigating within sight of its lights should put in there. This ordinance remained in force till the reign of Louis XIV.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aide-de-Camp

See also Aide-de-camp on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AIDE-DE-CAMP (Fr. for camp-assistant or, perhaps, field assistant), an officer of the personal staff of a general, who acts as his confidential secretary in routine matters. In Great Britain the office of aide-de-camp to the king is given as a reward or an honorary distinction. In many foreign armies the word adjutant is used for an aide-de-camp, and adjutant general for a royal aide-de-camp. The common abbreviation for aide-de-camp in the British service is “A.D.C.,” and in the United States “aid.” Civil governors, such as the lord lieutenant of Ireland, have also, as a rule, officers on their staffs with the title and functions of aides-de-camp.
