EditoI 1he ColoIed American:-YOU1
editorial, in q recent nun Der OF The
COlOIt d American, Rnent the appoint
ment of Negro youth TO the Military
and Naval Academies, was timely and
to the point. 1t is a matter TO which l
have given much thought and obser
vation and my con clusions are:
First, our people do not take suth-
cient interest In the Sc two institutions.
The education given there is worth any
sacrifice necessary to obtain it. The
training and discipline can not be had
at any other school in the world.
Second, the young men of the race,
who have been STINT to these schools,
have not, as a 1ule, had sufficient edu.
cation at the time they went there.
The pIes crbed educational require
ments for admission are low, too low,
due to the unWise fear Of some over
Jealous Cor gressman that the youth OF
1.-The people," would be hept out, If The
requirements were made high. The
result is that many young men sue
Ceed in entering who can not possibly
take the prescribed course, because OF
ack Of Ii entail training before going
there. | am convinced that this bas
been, TO very great extent. the trouble
with The Negroes who have gone TO
West Point. Years OF observation oil
our people have convinced me OF this.
AT the risk of being severely cFlti-
eised, shall assert that the educational
training being gwen our people now is
vastly inferior TO what 1t was prior to
1915. IknOW from my own experience
that it is no uncommon thing to see
teachers with first. class certiEcatesand
graduates with diplomas who can mol
correctly spell woids in common, every
day use, who can not prop eTIy fold OF
address letter, VITO lave not even
elementary notions of English gram
mar and yet have no end OF preten'
sl0ns as educated persons. L come Ill
contact with them every day. In the
ordinary schools pupils are too otter
graduated not because they are p1On
cient but 10 toady TO som social re-
quir6 ment, to sustain the claim OF th'
school for handling large number o
students or for some other cause. Dix
any one ever hear of pupil being dis
missed from any Ofthese schools for de u
cheney? At " est Point the student MUS

a Great Industrial Organization Thriv-
ing Plantations in Virginia and Ala
bama-What The Genius and Industry of
Splendid Woman is Doing for Race
Elevation-An Outline of the Career and
Work of Mrs. Maggie Whiteman Steward.
In the year 1878, in the city of Alex.
andria, Va, an Incorporation was Sc
cured for an Institution that is de stined
TO be powerful factor in the future
development of the Negroes ability for
self. government. That institution is
known as the Grand United Order of
Galilean Fishermen. From benevo-
lent standpoint this organization is
not unlike the Odd Fellows, Masons
and other bene fetal societies of like
character; but in connection with it's
christian benevolent feature, it is one
OF the most powerful industrial insti-
tUtiODs in America. About Ten years
ago this institution established an En-
dOwment Department, paying at the
death Of It's members from one to four
hundred dollars upon the smallest
premium OF any institution in the
United States. By wise and Judicious
management it accumulated quite an
amount of money from it's endowment
and other departments. They have now
launched out into the business world In
full, having organized regalia depart
ment manufacturing all kinds of re-
gala, banners and badges for various
institutions. Thus giving employment
to large number of cOlored girls ab .
might not have found one.
It haspurchased in the County Of
NOttoway, state of Virginia, large
plantation Of several hundred acres of
lard on which they have erected
home for the aged members of the
order and q training school fer the
orphan children of the institution. This
feature alone, Is worthy OF the highest
COmncHudtlOH VI OH in1cblSSht puoiio,
be cause in this particular largely they
have outstripped all other organiza-
tions in America. On this farm, the
orphan children will be educated In the
arts of industry. Thus, giving them
chance to grow up in the world and
earn livIihood for themselves. On
August 1st they launched out In the
state of Alabama and purchased in the
county of Tuscaloosa, large planta-
ton adjoining the corporate limits of
the city of Tuscaloosa. This fern alone
cost ten thousand dollars and they are

SUFFERING FROM SMALLfoA'

The attention of the District health ON
rer was invited Sunday last TO the case Oh
lanes HOPKINS. colored, seventeen years Oh
sga who was sent to the boys reform
school from the District jail the l-th III
slant This afternoon an inspector OF the
health department reported that the boy
Is suffering from smallpox, and he Will De
removed at once to the hospital
PRIOR to his commitment TO the reform
school HOPKINS, who resided on 22d street
near Virginia avenue had been confined In
the Jail for hfty-five days. and as he claims
to have received there no visitors the
health department officials are at somewhat
~ a loss to account for the development of
the disease in his case. They believe. how
ever that ne contracted II from some Wis
itor TO the jail. The day following his ar
rival at the reform school he complained
of feeling unwell and 1t was thought best
to isolate him upon the upper floor of the
institution. The case was reported TO the
health department last Sunday, but 1t was
not until today that its inspector had his
diagnosis of smallpox fully confirmed.
Hopkins was taken to the reform school
with another boy and the latter and two
others who came in contact with him at
the latter institution have been placed in
quarantine and will be kept there for the
usual period. The reform school will be
thoroughly distnfected and 1t Is also eX-
r,erted that the same precautions will be
taken at the Jail. In view of the fact that
Hopkins was promptly isolated at the
school, it is not believed that the other in.
mates of the institution are in danger Of
contracting the disease.

THE REINFORCEMENT.
Chairman Hopkins of the Census COM
mittec Talks.

Il viii call a meeting of the committee
on the census Immediately after the assem-
bling Of Congress-" said Representative
Hopkins of Illinois, chairman of that COM
mttee, to a Star reporter today. THE first
business will be the reapportionment of
representation in the House and the COM
mittee will go right to work upon it.
1T is not practicable now to estimate
what the new basis of representation may
be, it will be necessary first to decide
whether the membership of the House is to
be increa sed. l want to talk that over with
my colleagues before reaching a definite
conclusion in my own mind"
Mr.. Hopkins. when asked his views about
reducing the representation of the southern
states to conform to the size of the vote
cast, not enthusia stically in favor of
that mooted proposition. He intima ted
that it might be inadvisable at the short
session to attempt a work of such proper
tons and Importance.
There are many tnings to be considered
in that connection" said Mr.. Hopkins
massachusetts has a Acknowledgement law
which would bring her within the range of
discussion, although, of course, that law is
not SO bad South Cardinals. On the
whole, am inclined to go slowly upon this
matter for the present at least.
