a HOPEFUL SIGN.

Booker washington says that in 1881
when he started the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial School for the education
Of negroes parents would not send their
children. because they said they did not
want their children taught to work. But
now. he goes on. the condition is quite
different. There are 1000 students at the
school and every one Of them is learning
81 % trade or industry. Every parent who
sends sons or daughters TO the school re-
quests that they he taught some indus
try in connection with their academic
training and so great is the demand for
such training that the school has each
wear hundreds OF applicants more than
can be accommodated.
This is a hopeful sign. The negro like
many Of his white brethren. has had the
idea that the purpose Of education is to
teach men and women how 10 get along
without working But II the negro IS in
deed. learning that education is designed
to teach pupils how TO work and how 10
work to advantage and how to be useful,
he has taken long step forward.

Among the gallant defenders of "Old
Glory at the battle of New Orleans
none served more faithfully than Capt.
Samuel Chester Reid. This same Cant.
Reid was the man who suggested the
present form of the flag.
After the flag had, by the admls-
sion OF W States, come to be one Of
fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, the
admission OF Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana
and Louisiana rendered a change de-
slrable, and in 1916 a committee was
appointed to inquire into the expe-
diency Of altering the flag.
Capt. Reid was consulted. He at
at once suggested that the stripes be
reduced to thirteen. and that the Union
have a star for every State, new stars
to be added to the flag on the Fourth
Of July following the admission OF the
States.
The first flag made under that law
was the h%andiwork of Mrs. Reid, and
floated over the House of Representa-
tives April IA, 1873.
