Sisters put their property in the
hands OF a real estate dealer for sale.
A report became current in the
neighborhood recently that the agent
for the property had been approach
ed by Negroes and several property
owners in the vicinity visited the
Mother Superior. She admitted that
negotiations were under way for the
sale Of the building and grounds, but
said that nothing definite had been
done as yet.
1t is known that the Sisters stipu-
lated when they moved that the prop
erty should not be sold for use by any
other religious organization. Resi-
dents Of that neighbprhood say they
will appoint committee to wait on
the Sisters to protest against the sale
of the nunnery to Negroes.

Beverly, Mass, August 26.-Pres-
ident Taft attended at the home Of
Mrs. Robert F.. Bradley, at Prides
Crossing, this afternoon, a meeting
OF the Board Of Trustees Of Hamp-
ton Institute and delivered an adj

The President especially pleaded
for more liberal financial assistance
for schools like Hampton and Tuske-
gee and their offspring. In his ad-
dress to the Hampton Trustees Pres
ident Taft said:
Il am not millionaire, and I have
never had the feeling Of one, but

Full Attendance
Is Expected at the beginning OF Fall
Term at West Virginia Colored
Institute Sept. 21st.

The Fall Term of the West Vir-
Slnia Colored Institute will begin
Wednesday Sept. 21st From the
list OF new applicants a full atten-
dance is expected. The President
and two o r. three teachers have
made a canvass Of the state which
VIII no doubt result in an increased
attendance at the institution.
The buildings are being thorough
~ renovated and everything is be-
ing done to have the best sanitary
conditions for the opening of the
school.
Ihere have not been many changes
IN the Faculty. The only new
teacher is J. B. Bragg in the de-
partment of Blacksmithing. He is
a graduate from both Tuskegee In
s'ltute, and Taladega College. After
graduating from Tuskegee some ten
years ago, Mr.. Bragg worked at his
trade for one year; went to the
state school at Tallahassee, Florida
where he taught Smithing four years.
But feeling that he was not as we'll
educated as a teacher should be, he
went to Taladega College and COM
pleted the College Course graduating
with the degree Of A. B. Last June
Miss Fannie Cobb, who has been
taxing a summer course at Columbia
University, New York, is now at her
home in Charleston resting a few
days before the opening of school.
Mrs. }. McHenry Jones, music
teacher, who has travelled extensive
~ IN Europe this summer, is expect
ed to return TO school about the mid
die Of the month.
Two Of the teachers, Messrs
Sprlggs and Collins have built them
selves new home at Institute this
summer, which they expect to occupy
by the opening of the fall term.
these buildings were erected by stu
dent labor. Many people of the
state are making a mistake by not
having their children avail them
selves OF the special educational adj
VantageS offered at the West Vir-
glnla Colored Institute. Every stu
dent of good moral character VINO
has graduated from the institution is
today employed at some useful o.
cupatlon. Many are in the prOft 8siOr
OF teaching, law, medicine. and the
Gospel Of Ministry. Others are work
| ing at their trades Of carpentry
masonry, smithing, painting, print
ing, agriculture, dressmaking, cook
ing, millinery, and still others are
tailoring as bookkeepers and steno-
graphers. The demand for persons
to fiji positions in the above named
trades is far greater than the insti-
tuition can supply. The terms are
reasonable and any able bodied
young man or woman should be able
TO obtain all education in this insti.
tuition.
