DIR GTRT

The Bee doesn't know how
other people are impressed con-
cerning our girls who graduate
from the public schools. So far
as The Bee is concerned, the sit
uation is sad. All cannot be
teachers. What then, is to be-
come of our girls? Many of those
who are trained for business are
incompetent when they enter
your office. Much of the training
in our schools is superficial.

THE KIND OF WOMEN

LNEEDED
If Howard University would
select such woman as Mrs. B.
K. Bruce, or Mrs. Ella Y. c. Will
liams, there would be no need of
a watchman, or lock and keys on
the doors of thS female students.
Aside from such women, there
should be a first class musical de-
partment connected with the in
stitution. This department is
greatly in need of a first class fe-
male instructor. There are dozens
of female music teachers in this
city, not music graduates who are
able to teach any of the teachers
of music connected with Howard
University.
The most important factor that
The Washington bee., 1909-09-04

is needed at Howard University,
is a strong-minded and refined
woman to supervise the females.
The two named in the above
article will fill the bill. No white
woman is wanted.

time to build up. With the sue
cess that has already attended his
efforts continuing in the same
proportion in the future, Mr..
Ward will ultimately be a very
rich man, and as i is his posses
sions and business now run up
into the five figures. AS yet, Mr..
Ward has not entered the matri-
monial field. Whether this fail
ure is due to modesty or the con-
slant work necessary to build up
the great business at which he is
at the head, the newspaper ac-
cont fails to relate, Here in
Washington this young mans
course might be emulated with
profit, and young colred men in
all parts of the country might
follow his example with profit TO
themselves, and with credit to the
race. The colored man in bust
ness is rapidly coming to the
fore, and out in the middle West
ern states, where they pay more
attention to business than to the
amenities of society, there is a
gratifying development of color
ed business men who are build
ing up great businesses, and
also amassing sung competence.
The Bees advice to the young col
ored men of Washington is the
same as that given by the late
Horace Greedy, - Go West,
young man"

THE BUSINESS LEAGUE

THE BUSINESS LEAGOE
The recent session of the Col
ored Mems Business League at
Louisville was a splendid success.
At that meeting there were as
sembled men whose names stand
for something in the communi-
ties in which they live. They
were men who names spell sue
ces and Practicability. These
men are not theorists. They are
not chasing a phantom. They
are more concerned about the fu-
ture than the present. They, while
deploring some existing condi-
tions and restrictions, know full
we'll that the future will bring
no relief if the present is frittered
away in theorizing and complain
ing.
And this Colored Mems Busi-
ness League is the result of the
wise fore-thought, the indefatig-
able labors, and the intense
practicability of that Negro, DR..
Booker T. Washington, who
eaSilv towers above all others,
and yet towers modestly. While
his limited opponents are giving
advice, he is giving the substance.
While they are marshaling
band of ill-trained iconoclasts, he
is leading an army of builders.
While they are exhorting, he IS
doing.
When once success, with old
man resolute in the saddle,
swings into the three-quarter
stretch, under spur and whip of
energy and determination, there
is no overtaking her. She comes
down the home-stretch like a
swift-moving engine, and dashes
under the wire while Theory,
Impracticability, Iconoclast and
Jealousy, completely winded, are
just rounding the half-stretch.
There is something tangible
about success, and something in
tangible about opposition to sue
cess. The Colored Mems Busi-
ness League is a tangible suc-l
cess; its president is a tangible
success. They are, like irrega-
tionists, going out and reclaiming
the supposedly useless lands.
The Colored Mems Business
League is a reclamation, and its
president is a reclaimer and con-
servator, behind whom lies an un-
broken line of success. More
power to the Colored Mems Busi-
ness League.

Professor E. c. Williams, of
Cleveland, the recently elected
principal of the NJ Street High
School, has arrived in the city,
preparatory to assuming his new
position, There is no questioning
the fact that Mr.. Williams has no
easy task before him, to bring
order out of chaos, and to make
good as principal. The Bee be-
lieves it to be the duty of every
Negro in Washington, and es-
pecially every teacher, to lend
him encouragement, and to assist
him to make good. Not for him
self, but for the success of the
schools, and the success of the

WHITE MATRON


The Bee has been informed
that it is the purpose of the au-
thorities of Howard University to
appoint a white woman matron
over Negro girls.
1t seems to The Bee that there
are enough broken down white
and so-called educated white
teachers appointed at this Negro
institution. The country is
watching with interest, the atti-
tude of the University toward
Professor w. ]. DeCater. The
Bee is of the opinion that no
white man should be placed over
him, when it is clearly demon
strated that Professor DeCater is
more than competent for the job
and should be appointed head of
the science department.
The Bee understands that a
white man has been given charge
of the field on the hill to keep
clear. Just where the Negro la
borer comes in The Bee will ask
Congress at its next session.
Some one is endeavoring to place
the Negro in the back ground, or
make him subordinate to inferior
white help in a Negro institution.
Ought not Congress adjust the
salaries of the teachers at this
institution? If reports are true,
there is something wrong at this
institution. The Bee judges from
the case of Professor DeCater,
that kisses go by favors; that the
worthy teacher is not promoted
from merit; that there is
scheme to place white teachers
over the more competent teach
ers; that Professor Kelly Miller
is only Dean of the College De
partment now; that a white man
who was formerly a candidate
for the deanship, exercises the
functions that Professor Kelly
Miller should exercise.
The country will not tolerate
white matron over Negro girls,
and neither will it tolerate appar-
ent determinations at Howard
University.
The Bee gives this warning to
the Negro trustees, and advises
them not to cater or curry favor
with those in authority. The race
demands a clean bill of lading for
this Negro institution.
The Bee will publish all of the
facts in its possession if certain
reforms are not carried out.
