 Miss Yaw is now writing a series of articles appearing in the Delineator. on voice culture. which began with the first principles. breathing exercises and articulation. Yes, in these talks to the girls l am reciting what l have gained in my experience. Since be- ginning these talks, I have received hundreds of letters from girls all over the country. asking me for a personal word of encouragement.
 The saddest case I recall, one that awakened my deepest emotions, hap pened in New York. She was a beau tiful southern girl and had spent near ly all of her money in q futile attempt to cultivate her voice. IL had not been the girls fault. but that of her in structors. Her voice was absolutely ruined and it was hard for me to tell her what to do. She did not want to go hack home without succeeding; she was ashamed to. and she did not want
 to work in a store Truly it was a pitiable case She told me some of the things she had been directed to do by her incompetent teachers and they were utterly nOnsensical. I have told many girls to do nothing which did not appeal to them as being sensible and perfectly natural no matter what they were directed to do.'
 Referring to Madame NOrdica's plan of special theater. Miss Yaw said she wished there was some musical home or institution where girls could be giv- en trial and a chance to prove what they could do. Her whole interest seemed to be as much or more rapt up in young aspirants as in her own accomplishments. And that must be which has endeared her to so wide a world of music lovers. As she talked on the hotel piazza to the writer the fascination of her sweet personality was manifest and the reason for the spell which this magician casts over her hearers was made plain. It is be- cause she has human sympathy in abundant floods, and possesses the di- vinely rare quality of sincerity and simplicity. Temperament and intel ligence." said Miss Yaw, are as nec- essary as the gift of lovely v,ice.'

that city. and how the critics and mu- sicians went into ecstacies over her marvellous powers, is recent history
 A Republican reporter called on Miss Yaw last evening and was accorded an inter view. It was learned that Mr Eu- gene Rowland, d famous violinist. known better abroad perhaps than in America. and virtuoso of fine talents. had been secured by Manager Ingles and will assist in full program. with both solo numbers and obligato ac- compartments. MT J. Homer Grunn as previously announced will be at the piano. MT Rowland will arrive in Phoenix today. He was for a long time concert master of Ysaye's or chestra in Brussels, which is in itself q sufficient recommendation to the public. MT. Rowland possesses one of the only two Gaspar de Salo violins in the world, made in 1917. the almost priceless instrument which he will play in this engagement
 Announcement was also made of the fact that besides the gems of the clas- scs. including the Mad scene from Lucia, Miss Yaw will sing some of the old favorites. Home Sweet Home. An nie Laurie and special numbers by re- quest. With this unrivalled feast of melody promised, The Doris will un- doubtedly be packed to the door.
 Miss Yaw was enthusiastic over Phoenix and the surrounding country. IL was to her really delightful sur prise. She had fancied that there would be much more of desert, and little of the beautiful panorama of cultivated farms. luXuriant gardens and picturesque ranges of hills. which she saw Directing attention to the long well shaded streets seen from the Hotel Adams porch. she said it re- minded her of Paris in many ways. The cool light air, the cleanly appear ance of the city. and the way it was laid out and built. appealed to her in manner most pleasing. This is one of the happiest of my happ days" said the singer. 'I now begin to feel at home again"
 In reply to inquiry regarding her own career in the future Miss Yaw said that she had received an offer for an engagement for term of years at the Metropolitan in New York and also an offer from the Imperial theater in Vienna. Neither offer has yet been accepted, but she will leave in July for Vienna to remain for sometime. Be- fore coming to New York she had spent three months in England.
 Yes. l love my work that is why I have followed it so long. but it is not really work Nothing is work which you find labor of love. And to sue ceed one must be devoted to his pro- fession or art, what ever it is Miss Yaw takes great interest in girls

The Appeal., 1908-11-28

At the Catholic Missionary Confer
ence held in Chicago, Father John
Burke of New York City said:
''The curse of God will rest on the
church in America if it does not avail
itself of the opportunity of evangeliz-
ing the Afro-American.
1T is the only church that can
bring unity and order and good citi-
zenship out of the present lamenta-
bic chaos into which the race has fal-
len in our country. BE prudent has
been the cry which, being interpreted,
means, do nothing There is preju-
dice among the Afro-Americans, but
it is that belonging to the child of ig-
norance. To no other race do the min
istrations of priests and sisters ap-
peal so much. There will be no race
question when the white man keeps
the golden rule"
While not agreeing in toto with
these sentiments, THE APPEAL is
glad to notice the fact that the great
Catholic church is awakening to it's
duty to the Afro-American. Thus far,
the Catholic church has done almost
nothing in that direction compared
with what the Congregationalists and
Methodists have done. 1t has but few
schools and no colleges for the race
in any part of the country. That is
not the kind of record the strongest
church in the land ought to have.

A WONDERFUL PROPHEsY

Some years ago the assertion was
made by a representative of THE
APPEAL before congressional COM
mittee that there were 3O,OO0,O 900 of
people with African blood in their
veins in America. This created con-
siderable CONSERVATION and the mat
ter was the subject of much conjec-
ture and discussion.
But now comes the famous Mrs
Lille Devereux Blake, who also Gre
ated something of a sensation at a
meeting of the Society of Political
Stud" at the Hotel Astor, New York,
few days since in a discussion of
Criminals" by saying: ....
White blood now is so mixed with
black blood that the real Negro is
being wiped out In ten decades from
me ] do not suppose there will be one
left and everybody, broadly speaking,
will have strain of Negro blood in
their veins. I CANNOT SAY THAT
THEY WILL REGRET IT,
1t does seem to be pretty good,
strong blood, too; and, men with it
flowing through their veins have left
their imprints on the pages of his
tory. Solomon said: Il am black
but comely;" a black man was called

The Afro-American and the Public
Schools of the South. IT,


To the Colored People of the South:
This is the third time that I have
had the privilege of speaking to you
in this way upon what consider the
most vital subject, outside of reli-
glon, that concerns our race. Action
upon it cannot be delayed or omitted
without the most secous conse-
quences to this and succeeding gen.
eratlons. I refer to the education or
our colored children in the country
districts where from 80 to IS per
cent of our people live. In recent
trip through the state of Maryland I
was surprised to find, for example,
that there were rural communities al
most within sight of the dome of the
Capitol of the Nation where the public
schools for our race are only open
from two to two and one-half months
during the year.
Taking the Southern States as a.
whole, it is safe to say that the coun-
try schools are not in session au pies-
ent longer than four or five months
out of the twelve. When we add to
this condition, i'm most cases, poor
schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little
apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it
