URGES TEACHERS TO ORGAN
IZE

From the Journal of Education.
Teachers should organize in every
city, county and state. The New
York teachers and the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Teachers have taught their
fellow-teachers a noble lesson. The
Chicago principals are strengthening
their organization and making it a
power. It is no objection that mis-
takes will be made. OF course there
will be mistakes. Labor organiza-
tions have advanced over a highway
paved with mistakes, but every one
of these has been a springboard on
which to make more rapid progress,
Trusts and corporations organiza-
tions have made great mistakes. but
have not stepped backward in conse-
quence. The same is true with all
organizations for civic reform. They
all make mistakes, they tumble, but
they do not tumble.
The next great educational advance
is likely to be along the line of close
protective, and promotive organiza-
ton. The teachers will present a
sorry spectacle in life if they remain
as individuals. The wrongs that the
teachers suffer individually and col
lectively can be righted more quick
ly, more completely, and with less
waste of time and money through a
we'll organized association than III
any other way. Superintendent,
principals, secondary school teachers,
special teachers as a whole and grade
teachers should each have their own
most efficient organizations Have
no fear of mistakes; only learn from
them.

Work Of The Baptist
TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR WOMEN

FOR WOMEN
Miss n. H. Burroughs, Correspond
ing Secretary of the Woman's Con-
vention, Auxiliary to the National
Baptist Convention, a Washington
girl who is doing things Through
her efforts six acres of land have been
purchased in the District oof Column
bia on which a National Training
School for women and girls will be
erected.
Miss Burroughs and several of her
assistants will be in the city during
the month of February to hold meet
ings in the interest of the proposed
school
The Trustees of the Institution are
planning to open the school in the
Fall. There is a ten room building
already on the premises but it is in
adequate for the work under contem-
plation. The Convention is going
to put up a seventy-fve thousand
dollar building and the work of rails
ing the funds for this purpose is be-
ing vigorously pushed by their ener-
getic Secretary.
It is to be distinctively school for
women and girls because the promot-
ers believe that for the more salts
factory development of the type. OF
women the race now needs in its eff
fort at home making and moral up
lift, a separate and distinct school
will give better results.
The courses of study will be ad-
justed to meet the practical needs OF
women in the Industrial and Relig.
ious World. Perhaps some of US
think We have enough Industrial
Schools, but if the special work out
lined by the promoters of this move
ment is put into operation we viii
soon have an army of trained women
for our own homes and for the homes
of others, that will be a benedictior
to the race. At any rate the schoo
is an assured fact and it is safe tc
say that Miss Burroughs is going tc

the women of her race She has al
ready received applications from hun,
dreds of girls throughout the country
whom she has touched and inspired
who are simply waiting for the doors
of the Institution to open.

vention is backing the enterprise.
