in the connection with the Negro prob

that the lack of missionary real will
stand against US like the handwriting on

Great Work Of Dr. L. B. Moore at this

Institution


Institution.
Never did the great work OF Prof.
Lewis B. Moore for the university and
the race appear to better advantage than
last Thursday night, when he presented
for graduation his eight classes Of the
Teachers College Three OF them re-
received the normal training diploma.
Miss Eloise Bibb, OF New Orleans Miss
EyaG. Crutcher, Washington, D. c.;

Sparrows Point Md. The Teachers
College was organized eight years ago
/ by the trustees, who desired to bring
the work OF training colored teachers
up TO the grade OF work done in the
more advanced schools, like Columbia
University, New York city. and others
/ for white teachers. Dr. Lewis B. Moore,
who had come to the university four
years before, after taking the PhD.
degree from the great University OF Penn
sylvania, was given TN task oi organ
izing the college. By consecrated abil-
iy and hard work he soon brought Ii
to a place where It commanded the at
tention and respect OF the educated
public and the envy Of local rivals,who
ought to be assisting the work rather
than trying 10 detract from IL by iHsil-
uating and jealous imueudoes-
So fayorably Is the work Of The Col
/ lege known that students flock here
every year from several States to g.
themselves for the special higher ped
{ agogical training under a man who has
made himself a master OF the subject
by studying in the best universities at
home and abroad. The catalogue shows
that the students Of this college come
from nineteen States and the District
( of Columbia.
Since its organization the cellege has
graduated 10 students, s. Of whom are
teaching in elementary schools, % in
! ikndergartens, / in high schools and
academies, and 3 in normal schools.
| We know Of no school that can show
such results during its first eight years,
| So constant is the demand for scien-
tifcally trained teachers from the va
rious progressive communities that DR..
! Moore cannot supply the demand. Those
who graduate are quickly taken up at
a good salary, because they are equipped
in both theory and practice.
The anniversary exercises were made
significant by an able address by Rev.
Dr. Huckel, of Baltimore. DR.. w. P.
Thirkield, in fitting manner. present
ed the diplomas. DR.. L. B. Moore, the
dean, presided Music was furnished

SAD COMMENTARY.

Nashville. Tenn, May IS, 1907.
The Washington Bee:
We desire to ask if there are any
Negro hotels and boarding houses IN
Washington, D. c. We spent an hour
looking closely over your paper trying
to find out where a stranger could 60
to stop in the National Capital, know
ing The Bee to be one of the largest
Negro journals in the country we nat
urallv expected to find the infOrma-
ton in thta paper. After looking very
close we succeeded in finding in an OBJ
scure place the advertisement Of one
boarding house. A party Of members
Of the Executive Board that IS to con-
vene in your city on the. 18TH were anX-
ious to decide on what hotel to go
to before reaching Washington; they
wanted TO secure rooms in advance, but
could not do so because there was no
advertisement If these places in your
paper.
We were passing through Washing
ton last October and had the same diff
fculty- in finding a place to step and a
place to eat, Weekly newspapers run
by our people are watched by visitors
who contemplate visiting certain cities
The National. Convention will meet II

will be hundreds of people to find To-

CORNER STONE
FOR CATHEDRAL
Impressive Ceremonies at
Laying Stone for ImpOS=
ing Gothic Structure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. Is
Tomorrow will be a redletter day in
the history of the Protestant Episco-
pal diocese of Washington At noon,
with solemn and impressive services,
the corner stone will be laid for the
grand cathedral to be erected on Mt.
ST. Adams.
The laying of the foundation stone
will be followed by a great open-air
service, at which the Right Rev. Ar
thur Foley Warrington Ingram, bish-
op of London, will be the preacher.
There will be present also most of the
bishops of the Episcopal church In
America and about 1000 members of
the Brotherhood of st. Andrew, whose
| international conference has been in
| session here this week.
The proposed cathedral will be al
most as large as that of st. John the
Divine, now being erected in New
York, and larger than most of the ca
thedrals of Europe. The accepted de-
sign is pure decorated Gothic, with a
touch of French feeling. The plans
suggest the cathedral at Canterbury
and the color will be similar to that
of the cathedral at Chester a reddish
stone having been decided upon.
The dimensions indicate almost per.
feet proportions. The total length will
be ATS feet, the total width 1872 feet
the height of the ridge line of the roo
100 feet, and from the pavement t.
the internal apex of the vaulting g.
feet. The central tower will rise %
feet from the ground. The plans con
template naves, aisles, transepts, choi
and two chapels. Double aisles ar
planned for the nave, which may b
used for memorial windows, monu
ments and tablets. The interior will b
vaulted in stone of the same color a
that of the exterior, and the window
have been arranged so as to concen
trate- flood of light with striking eff
feet upon the altar in the sanctuary
1t Is proposed to build a large ha
of Gothic architecture in harmony wit
conventions and similar gathering
and for the officers of the diocese
This, however, will not be undertake
until the cathedral is well along Fort
4acres have been acquired for the ca
| thedral site, and It is entirely fire
from debt. The property was acquire
by donations from various sources, tn
largest gift being legacy of 100000
from the late Harriet Lane Johnso
and the second contribution of 5000,
900 from Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst.
