II New York, Feb. 23. The supersti-
tons Of the class Of people which COM
poses the largest percentage of our inn
migrants each year cause the physi-
clans and surgeons Of those hospitals
which receive most of the East side
patients much vexation and trouble.
/ However curious and amusing the
idea which these people cherish OF each
being his own family doctor, and how
ever valuable from a clinical point Of
view the people may be. in supplying
the New York hospitals with scope
and variety OF material such as no other
city in the world can offer, these super
stitions do quite as much to keep the
East Side in a state of t1nheathiness
and disease as do either the crowded
tenenents or the poverty Of their ten
ants. a house physician of the Post
Graduate hospital one of the largest
institutions Of the city and one which
draws a large portion Of its patients
from the immigrants Of the East side,
recently said: w have nearly sixty
children under d years @of age in our
wards. and the general cause of their
diseases or crippledness is that they have
not been properly nourished, or, when
taken sick, have been treated bv their
parents and not brought to the hospital
until their state has become very SER
ious. Invariably those cases which we
could save have been lost because the
patients have been brought to- us all
ready iii a hopeless condition.: 2ss
Probably the most superstitious in be-
liefs and most primitive lin practice of
any of the civilized races of today are

Huntsville September &-tspeeial)--
President william II. Council Of the Az
ricultural and Mechanical College Ion ~
groes. addressed the members of his fac
ulty on Their duties TO their pupils and
took occasion to refer 10 the necessity Of
teaching respect for law and morality.
Among other things he said:
Fellow Teachers. In beginning the
work for the present scholastic year. 1t
Is as important for rs 70 take up and
study. and keep up and study. the great
questions and duties which confront LIS
as negro teachers. in training the negro
youth as to his duties and responsibilities
as members of the body polite, as 10
know what to teach from THE books In the
school room.
The negro boy and girl must be in
structed in honesty. truth. respect for
other peoples rights and all the other
ideals which make up the true citizen.
This weighs heavily on my mind, and
I feel now more than at any time during
my work of forty years in the school
room, the terrible responsibility which
rests upon us as negro teachers and the
demands which civilization makes upon
us. Il is now plain that the civilized
world expects more from MS than we are
giving. Especially the crime which shocks
the world demands us to put forth our
best energy to stop and we cannot dodge
this terrible responsibility. We can stop
it and We must stop 1t so far as the flu
ture is concerned
We should teach books and more be-
yond We should teach trades and more
beyond. We should teach truth and hon
osty in all things. Every negro girl should
have her heart and mind set against the
horrible crime Of assault and all kinds
if disrespect to women. Every negro boy
should be taught not In mincing words.
but in plain words. that the crime Of as
sault is wrong and Will be met with the
severest punishment according to the just
will Of God and man. Every negro girl
and every negro boy should be taught and
have drilled into their very souls. every
day that every white boy and girl in
the land must be treated with the proper
respect, until we shall have educated a
race with souls set against this horrible
crime and all other kinds OF violence ofte,,
committed by negroes in this country.
THE school room must take up this
matter and present It as a subject of in
struction and prayer until the race is
purged and washed clean of this foul.
damnable sin I would rather Normal be
thoroughly in line on this subject than
to teach single book or trade. Then we
Will be a strong race; race thoroughly
entitled to the friendship. encouragement
and protection of the white race and the
smiles and approval of Almighty God.
In addition to other things | wish to
emphasize in the instruction given in our
institution agriculture domestic and per
sonal service. Along these lines the race
will continue to grow in usefulness in this
country. as they are along lines of least
