Tuberculosis Among Negroes.

Summit. Miss, special to the Times Democrat.
 Noticing in your issue of today the statement of Dr. Scale Harris, profes- sor of medicine in the University of Alabama Medical School, at Mobile, in regard to consumption among the ne- groes. I beg to give some observations of my own in connection with this i'm portant subject.
 I have no doubt but that consumption among the negroes of our country is rapidly on the increase This can be easily accounted for by practitioners of medicine who visit the negroes in their homes. As rule they live in small houses, poorly ventilated. Many negroes, young and old, are congre- gated in this small room and compell- ed to sleep there. During the winter they are forced to keep all doors and windows closed in order to keep com fortable. bedding being scarce with them. Now with this state of things and no other hygienic precautions whatever with a case of consumption in the room. imagine the result
 Unless something Is done to protect these unfortunate people from the rav- ages of this most fatal and infectious disease 1t Is not extravagant to say that the race in time may become practically extinct. A case of tuber- culosis in the average colored family Is sure to be followed by many more.

We do not ask that people shall treat us with forebearance or pity or even generosi- ty We ask that they shall be just. The youngest member of the family has as much right 70 justice as the oldest.

 Beware of yielding 700 much to tenn perament In the present direction
 toward individualism in education there Is just the danger that the indi- vidual may be studied to the disad- vantage of the whole An eminent doctor who had given much thought and study to the management of youth once said to me: After all, it is comfort that childrtn scramble up the hill very much as they always have, notwithstanding our painstaking, and perhaps the best thing that ever be- falls them is a little whol ssome neg llect."
 children are fortunate when they are introduced into world full of cousins about their own age When several families of kinsfolk reside in the same locality ana there is a good deal of visiting. of running to and fro and of informal fellowship. the children are early nlade members of a sort of youthful republic. Big brothers and older sisters look out for the juniors, and IF there is a child with a tendency to morbidness or to discontent the healthy activity in the environment soon exercises the haunt ing demon.
 merry circle of cousins is a cause for congratulation. and next to this, the best thing for any child. whether sensitive or not, is to be thrown into the companionship of the school filled with the children. of townspeople somewhere on the same plane. as to age and condition. When everything has been said on the subject that can. be said, there still remains this truth that children educate each other far more successfully than grown people educate them.

 Promotion days, whether they occur in midwinter or in late spring. are when we are promoted. ourselves most of all It Is impossible to avoid feeling of satisfaction and delight. when at the end of some weeks or months we discover that we have not been working in vain, and that we have actually gone one round higher upon the ladder. A schoolgirl is just as much pleased when she leaves Division for Division or advances a grade and has as good right to be pleased about 1t as the lieutenant when he becomes a captain. the cap tain when he gains the rank of major. and the major when people salute him as colonel and so on.
 Promotion Is a sign to everyone in our world that we are favorites of fortune, and good soldiers as well. In the battles of life it is a right and proper thing to strive for promotion. occasionally when a girl has done her very best and been faithful to every duty and fulfilled every task through out A term. she fails of promotion. The powers that be. looking over her work, decide that 1t will be for her advantage in the end to wait awhile and not too early push forward into a region where difficulties beyond her strength must be encountered. Their decision is sure to be a disappoint- ment to the girl. particularly If she belong to the set of girls who are nat urally conscientious and diltgent. She will feel mortified that her compan- ions are to be ahead of her and that she must remain In line with younger

 Foolish mothers. let me say. and foolish fathers, too. are very much to blame for the way they interfere with teachers who. as a rule. know pretty well what attainments students have made and what they can make.
 A year is long stretch of time when a girl is in her early teens. It will not look so very long in years to come Twelve months fit by very rapidly. have known a pupil who did not make a promotion In a certain year to overtake her friends by and by and surpass them even to the skip ping a class. She mad gained the ability to progress very rapidly in the end, because she had been extremely thorough with the work that answered to the corner stone of the building in her education.
 
 When we are promoted we accept new responsibilities with our honors. More Is expec ed from us today than was exacted yesterday. We are to set good examples to those who look up to us. and there isn't anything much harder in this world than to be obliged to set good example. Think of 1t. girls.

SENSITIVE CHILD''

Lucy and Eva would do perfectly we'll in school" observed a teacher, If only their mother could be persuaded to let them alone. She watches every infection of their tones, every breath they draw. and every step they take.

 In cases without number a child who has borne the lapel sensitive loses 1t completely when transplanted to the atmosphere of boarding school. or sent on a visit to grandpar- ents Tn an old homestead where he is allowed to do as he pleases when out of doors, and is under proper restric- tions within them. Love is the best atmosphere, 1t is true, for a sensitive child, but law must accompany love in the training of children.
 Sensitive means responsive to influ- ence and the word has to do with quick feeling and swift receptiveness on the part of human being. All
 things considered, a sensitive child or a sensitive woman or man belongs to a higher order than does blunt, ire sponsive and dull-natured person who is difficult of access and slow of brain. The finer the type the. greater will be the seusitiveness. The father we advance in civilization the more rapid will be the march of sensation and the swifter the rush of emotion. and yet this means only that the profounder must me the need for discipline.

After a shors call we all repaired ro . hall near -. where a spear dance had been ars and women. go through native dances which in some respects resembled those of the American Indian.

He lives Tn a nipa house, but has frame building covered with galvanized iron (still unfinished) In which he receives his guests. He sent for one of his wives (of whom he has four); he has three or four concu- pines. he does not know which. but these are not included in the list of wives. The prime minister has four wives and two concubines and one of the head men at whose house we stopped on the way had several wives The sultan said that the wives were usually kept in separate houses, but that his lived together in one house.
 hThe sultana whom we saw was dressed in silk, with trousers of red and white striped satin and wore high heeled shoes. She has a strong face, -one of the most intelligent that we saw in Sulu. Both the sultan and his wife wore diamond and pearl rings. At our request the sultan brought forth his ornaments of diamonds and pearls and exhibited his uniforms. heavy with gold braid and buttons. He is now drawing a salary of about $5.000 . year from the American government fo n in half. and as a matter of economy 1t might be cheaper to put the Datus on the pay roll than to suppress them bv force of arms. His salary. however. fs probably due as much to his being the head of the church as to his fighting qualities.
 We sailed from Maibun to the Bor. mean coast in order to take steamer for Singapore, and as we are studying colonialism it was probably, fortunate that We did, for we found few for eigners developing North Borneo with Chinese coolies the natives being lost sight of entirely.
 At Sandakan there are thirty-eight English. two Germans and 1000 Chi- nese, but we searched in vain for a na- tive. In and about Kudat. another Bornean port. there are twenty-two Europeans and 10000 Chinese, and here we found only a few of the original inhabitants. At Labuan there are about twenty-five foreigners, and the local business is in the hands of the Chinese and East Indians.

The Argus river. which at this point is a large stream, falls through the narrow walls of gorge The falls are not only picturesque, but they suggest the possibility Of future use It has been calculated that 100,- 900 horse power is here going to waste which might be put to use. The mill tary authorities have been trying to secure an appropriation for an electric railroad from Camp Overton to Camp Keithley, with the intention of obtain ing power from the falls. but this would utilize only small fraction or the energy which the Argus possesses.
 Two miles farther up the road we turned aside to see the rapids Of the same river, and here made our Ilrst ac

The most conspicuous dish, at least the dish that attracted our atten- tion, was a skillet full of grasshoppers being done to a neat brown over slow fire. While we were watching them. two half bare children returned from the chase with a large supply of fresh grasshoppers strung upon grass. The Moros have a most repulsive habit Of dying the teeth black, the enamel be- ing first scraped off.

 Our next stop was at Zamboanga, the most important port on the island and the headquarters of Governor Wood. The harbor at the city Is not very well protected. but there is a little bay about eight miles away which affords both deep water and shelter. We found more Americans at Zamboanga that at any point outside of Manila. nearly all of them being in the service of the government. We visited two Moro schools here and listened to an address of welcome in English deliv- cred by one of the students. pr.
