Disease Has Freaks.

No medical man needs to be told
that even disease has its freaks and
that recovery has occasionally been
brought about by means inexplicably
trivial. One of the most remarkable
of these unaccountable eccentricities
of disease took place at Halver, IN
Westphalia. The case was that OF
boy who, as the result Of very heavy
fall backward on his head while skat-
ing, had for a year and a half been
deaf and dumb. One morning MS
brother went to awake him, and md
ing him sleeping heavily tapped him
lightly on the forehead. To his amaze
ment the deaf and dumb boy awoke
with a loud cry. Both speech and near
ing had been restored.

ent teachers, representing SO many
church denominations, when the peo-
pie in the community should have one
good. strong public school, regardless
of denomination. In some cases there
are three little public schools lasting
only three months in the year, when,
if the people were united, they might
have one good public school lasting
seven or eight months in the year. In
public school education, there is no
BAPTIST Arithmetic, or Methodist Arith-
metic, or anything of the kind. What
the people want are good, sensible
moral, upright, Christian teachers, re-
gardless of the church to which they
belong.
There are other matters in connec-
ton with the public schools of the
South, to which l shall hope to call at
tention soon through another letter.

CONFEDERATE GENERALS
WIDOW SPEAKS AT FAIR.
Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet Discusses
the Race Problem.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 29.-The address
of Mrs. Helen d. Longstreet, wife OF
the late noted Confederate General
James Longstreet, at the Colored
State Fair several days ago is being
generally commented on in this sec
tion of the country.
During her address. Mrs. Long
street said in part:
81 speak today not only to the col
ored race, but to the white men be-
tween the two oceans, words they
should heed, from a Southern woman
of the Anglo-Saxon race, holding
Georgia not dearer than Massachu-
setts; but the high destines of this
great republic, and every inch of SOIL
the old flag protects, sacred as the
ruddy drops about her heart.
"In considering the race problem
that ever increasing burden upon the
national conference.-the white mans
responsibility looms large and larger.
"Our race problems will never be
settled in righteousness until the
white men of this nation join hands
as Christians and patriots, worthy to
enjoy the blessings and shape the des-
tines of the grandest republic on the
earth; with no end to serve save the
welfare of our great country, through
the uplife of that black brother whose
keeper we are.
"The white man should not longer
seek to delude the Negro with dan
gerous dreams that may never be real
lied, while the Anglo-Saxon holds this
continent He found here a wilder
ness and builded the greatest, freest
republic the world has known. His
antagonism for the Negro on planes
of social equality, or equality in the
civic offices of this government, is
deep seated as life; implanted by the
Almighty. 1t is the old story-old as
creation-of the survival of the fittest.
The Colorado statesman., 1910-12-10
DENVER COLORADO. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10 1910.

"The rewards that belong to worth
and achievement should not be with
held because of color or previous con-
dition. This is the language of patrt-
otism. It is the language of Christ
ianity. No man worthy of the protec-
ton of the flag that shelters justice
and symbolizes freedom to all the
world may voice different convic-
ton.
Favors Settlement of Negro Towns.
81 believe that one step-perhaps,
short one, but still a step-in the di-
rection of solving the problem, will be
found in the settlement of towns and
cities by the Negro, in which he will
own and control exclusively. Our vast
Western territory open inviting fields
for experiments along this line; as
well as the abandoned farms in the
East and South Small colonies might
be established by the Negro in our
Pacific island possessions. In the ages
to be; xsav We not hope that the Ne
gro, uplifted by our Western civiliza-
tion, shall journey back, to have an
heroic part in civilizing and Christian
izing the continent from which the
white man tore him? May not this
be the high destiny toward which the
race is moving?
But whatever may be our conflict
ing views on the race question, theri
is one subject on which the American
people do agree. In tribute to the
faithfulness of the slaves of the South
ern confederacy, all our hearts beat In
unison From '61 to '65, while theil
masters were fighting that war, the re
suits of which would leave them in
shackles or make all men free, they
guarded the homes of the Southern
confederacy with a fidelity that the
pen of literature will one day take
hold of and immortalize in all lands
in every tongue.
"a little while ago, it was my privi
lege to assist in the organization OF
an association for building a monu
ment to the slaves of the Southern
confederacy. Whatever race difficul
ties confronted the South after the
Civil War, the old slaves had no part
in it's making. They remained faithful
to the end."-New York Age.

To the Editor of Colorado Statesman
Through the medium of your valued
pewsnaner I desire to say word to
the colored people regarding the lni-
nortapce of good public schools. 1t mas
heen some months since l have had
t,nvtbins 20 say on this important sub
iect. wish TO repeat that which l
have tried to emphasize from time 10
limo that there are few, if any sub
iects. which are of more vital ana lar
raaching importance to the masses OF
our race in the country at the present
time than that of building up gooo
public school system.
only a very small per cent Oh our
people can ever go to a large poaruins
school. or any kind of college, or In
dustrial school for their education'
The masses must depend upon the
public GcnoOl III lheii
for whatever education they get. II
rho nublic school is a failure the mass
es grow up in ignorance, and so am
making this direct appeal to every
minister, teacher and business mah
and woman throughout the South TO
take a personal and deep interest IN
the condition of the Negro public
schools.
First of all, we should bear in mlnd
that we are American citizens and that
we should have our rightful share OIL
the public school fund. Where we are
not getting our just share of the public
school fund, a direct appeal should be
made to the public school authorities
for a more just distribution of the pub
lie school funds. This kind of appeal
should be repeated again and again un-
til we do receive our just share. we
should not give up or stand STILL IN
cases where the public school authori-
ties are not willing or unable to give
more money. 1t will be no excuse to
the future generation of children, IL
they grow up in ignorance; to tell
them that they might have been edu-
Gated. if the public school authorities
had done their duty.
In travelling through the South' l
have observed that wherever good
public school house is provided, IN
most cases, the result is, that the COM
munity will have good teacher and a
school term of respectable length.
1 advise then, that every community
set to work to secure either through
the public fund or from private gifts
in that community good public
school building. In many cases, where
neopIe are not able to give money to-
ward the erection of a good school
bouse. they can give the use of their
teams to haul lumber, or they can give
material. or give without charge so

Little Rock, Ark.-Ex- Governor
j. K. Vardaman, of Mississippi,
who has been relegated by the peo-
pie of his state as back number,
spoke here last night. On the Ne
gro question he said in an appeal;
ITO the men of the South and the
North to take the right to vote
from the Negro race and in this
way bring the Negroes into state
where they may be controlled. He
stated that the Negro children
were able to learn as fast as the
white children of corresponding
ages and conditions, but that the
brute spirit to the Negro race pre-
walls and makes all attempts at
educating them fruitless."

NEGROPUB-
LICSCHOOLS
An Open Letter from Booker T. Washington OF the iuSKe
gee Institute An Appeal for the Negro Chlla.

MANY days work each week, but in
some way, every community that is
now without comfortable school
house should set to work to secure one.
In many cases the school houses in
which the children are taught are not
fit for pigs to live in. The roofs leak,
the floors are full of holes, there is no
stove, and in many. cases, the benches
and other furniture are SO rude and
worthless that it is impossible for
teacher and children to stay in such
houses without being in continual mis-
cry.
A school house is not completed un-
til it has been either painted or whi-e-
washed on the inside or outside; neil
ther is a school house complete until 1t
has been ceiled or plastered on the in
side, and every school house should be
thoroughly furnished with good seats;
a teachers desk, with good black
boards. etc., before it should be con-
sidered completed. 1t is almost as
cheap to build good school house as
it is to build poor one.
If every community will organize
and come together, with the direct OBJ
ject of providing a good school house,
| am safe in saying that before the
present school year passes, larger
number of communities will have good,
first-class school houses. l also advise
that an architectural plan be drawn,
wherever possible, for these school
houses. In many cases good deal OF
money is practically thrown away in
the erection of building, because no
plans have been drawn. Aside from the
building being almost useless, when a
plan is not drawn, it does not usually
present a good appearance.
shall hope to hear, as result of
this letter. that a larger number OF
communities throughout the South
have erected school houses.
One other thing: My travels through
the South convince me that the public
schools for our race are often crippled
and weakened by reason of the fact
that UNCONVENTIONAL jealousies and riv-
airy enter itno the public school sys-
TEN. 1t should be understood in every
community that the public school must
be separated wholly from church influ-
ences. In some communities, the pub
lie school system Is weakened because
the Baptist element want Baptist
teacher. the African Methodist element
want an African Methodist teacher,
and the Zion Methodists want Zion
Methodist teacher. This kind of con-
tention and jealousy is all nonsense
and results only in weakening the pub
lie schools. In some communities, the
people are now trying to support three
little weak schools, with three differ

Several years ago the mixed
breeds among us had a high day
in literature and art. What they
did in the way of breaking the
shackles was much indeed. There
are, seemingly, no more creative
writers among us, no novelists, no
poets, no painters. Mr.. Chestnut
is sternly silent; Mr.. Tanner is al
together a Frenchman; and not
single man since his day has come
within a thousand rods of Dunbar.
Mr.. Briathwaite's exquisite verse
is unhappily too exquisite for the
vulgar, upon whose lips depend
the power and popularity of all
verse. Sutton E. Griggs is great
novelist, but he is too truthful; be-
sides, he has turned to raising
money for a preachers college.

There has just been completed in

This is a new building, brick
structure, two stories high, and
contains between twenty-five and
thirty rooms. 1t is in every way a
modern building, with all the lat

The completion of this high school
building gives to Birmingham the
finest structure of its kind in this
part of the South, and all of our

building.
