DR.. S. L. CORROTHERS' STIR
RING SERMON IN GAL
BRAITH A. M. Z. ZION
CH DEF
CHAPEL

By Professor William II. Ferris, A.
NJ, Principal of The Academical
Department of the Afro-American
Sohq2, of Correspondence.
On Sunday morning. September 20,
DR.. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of the
Galbraith African Methodist Episeo-
pal Zion Church, preached the second
in the series of twelve morning ser
mons upon The Need of Reforma-
ton in the Church to large and
interested audience which followed
with 5reathless interest his every
word DR. Corrothers has preached
many splendid stirring sermons in
Galbraith Chapel, but last Sunday
morning he blossomed out as a pro-
phet and race statesman. His text
was taken from Isaiah i: chapter IS,
verse Come let Us reason together,
though your sins be as scarlet. they
shall be white as the snow, though
they be red like crimson they shall
be like wool" and like the book of
the greatest of all the Hebrew pro-
phets. DR.. CorrOthers sermon was
characterized by spiritual insight in
to divine truth and by broad states
manlike grasp of public questions, as
they affect the interest of the race.
DR.. Corrothers began by pointing
cut that the strife and unrest of nd-
tiOns was not due to the condition OF
their hearts and not to their poverty
and exterior conditions. The pres
ent generation" DIR. Corrothers said,
was not altogether responsible for
its condition, for the conditions that
surround us have grown out of the
past. And the conditions that con-
front us come from the past" In or
der to change the drift of public sen
t;ment in order to change the condi-
tions that we are facing we must not
60 forward, but we must go back to
the past. The great and crying need
OF the present age IS not the discOV-
J cry of a new light, but the going
back to the old truth and old light of
the fathers.
The leaders of the Church, like the
present day political leaders, have de
parted from the constitution. Our
political leaders have departed from
the spirit of the constitution and are
now trying to repudiate the princi-
piles Oh the fathers
DR.. Corrothersi then complimented
President William Taft for his re-
cent letter to the Evening News OF
Baltimore, in which he said that the
proposed disfranchisement clause of
Maryland was malicious, designedly
unfair to the Negro, against the
spirit of and purpose of the Fifteenth
Amendment. But DR.. Corrothers
said that he would like to cali Presi-
dent Taft's attention to the fact that
he same conditions that he condemn
ed in Maryland, prevail throughout

BOARD OF EDUCATION LAYS
FOUNDATION FOR A NEW
BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL
FOR COLORED STU
DENTS

A desire to promote the CONNER
Lial interests Of the colored commu-
ritv has led the Board of Education
to approve the recommendation of
the Principal of Armstrong School
and the Assistant Superintendent in
charge of colored schools to place
the business department Of sthe Arm
strong Manual Training School in a
separate building where its work may
be carried on in its own atmosphere
free from the influence of the other
courses offered at the manual train
ing high school.
The work in the new building be
san on Monday; the brick addition
to the old Mott schoolhouse at Sixth
and Trumbull streets, northwest, jus:
below Howard University, is being
used and it is we'll adapted to the pur-
pose. The Principal of the Arm
strong School remains the admins
trative and supervisory head of the
department; he mas assigned five
teachers to the work.
Two courses are offered; one for
students who can afford to remain
in the school only two years and the
other for students who are willing
and able to remain four years in or
der to gain a more thorough prepara-
tion for business pursuits. The
school trains clerks, book-keepers
and stenographers; but, more impor-
tant yet, it gives ambitious and prom
ising young men and women such d
training in the fundamentals of bust
ness as will enable some of them to
eventually set up for themselves.
The graduates of the business de-
partment of the Armstrong School
have already made showing in the
various business pursuits in and about
Washington which justifes the schoo
administration in feeling that the en-
larged facilities for the department
will prove highly serviceable. Al
ready an enrolment of IS students
is announced; this enrolment, it /:
expected, will increase before the END
of the week to at least 80. The
business department enjoys the inter
est and support of the colored bust
ness and professional men of Wash
ington and will be conducted so as tC
meet their needs.
Students who have completed the
course Of the elementary schools OF
the District or a fair equivalent, may
enter the business department of the
Armstrong School by applying at the
old Mott Schoolhouse.

county that had been organized i'm the

ways, if there were any. location OF

interest, and ne had promised to ac-
quaint them with any changes that
might take'place from time to time as
the county developed.
There came an exceedingly hot and
dry summer. during which one Of the
streams utterly dried up. There
upon the surveyor wrote them the fol-
lowing letter:
"Gentlemen - Agreeably TO my

TIE HEIGHT OF The TREE.

To know how one may without in
struments-andw with approximate ac-
curacy-obtain the height OF trees,
buildings and similar lofty objects
which are inaccessible to measure
ment by hand" is a bit Of simple
knowledge that may sometimes be
of great value-and is always sure to
be amusing and instructive.
For purposes of illustration take
any tall tree that stands upon fairly
level ground.
Make a rough guess al the height
OF the tree, and mark a point that
distance away, and on as near a level
with the foot OF the tree as possible.
Accuracy depends largely upon This.
At the point selected set firmly up
right a rod Of known height-for con-
ventence call ii seven fact above the
