Hortense announced to her mother
when she arrived home, I'm going to
make a cake all by myself It's the
kind that can't possibly fail and it
tastes just as good no matter how you
box it up
Donning large apron, she proceed
ed to take possession CT the kitchen.
With careful precision, after much
weighing and measuring, Hortense
finally poured the rich, dark batter
into the pan. She wasn't quite sure
as to the heat of the oven, but she
hovered around anxiously with flushed
cheeks for the prescribed half-hour
1t was with thrill of triumph that
she finally lifted out the delicious
smelling golden-brown cake and depos-
tied It on the table. Later she tele-
phoned young Mrs. Drake that the
cake was glorious success. >f
When Tom arrived at Hortense's
house that evening the engaged couple
and the brakes began their game of
bridge. Hortense made a failure Of
her playing, for most of the time she
was watching the clock. being impa-
tient for the moment to arrive when
she had directed the maid to serve.
When she trumped her partners ace
Tom mildly asked her if she was anx-
lou for them to go. Hortense replied
merrily that on the contrary she was
waiting for something to appear.
A little later when they all went
into the dining-room Eortense an-
nounced with pride that her first cake
was before them. Mrs. Drake had the
honor of cutting it.
Its beauty" commented Tom, en-
Enthusiastically. 81 put in my applica-
tion now for second slice"
Greedy thing!" said the delighted
HortenSe.
Young Mrs. Drake, with much cere-
mony, poised the knife and then let
it descend through the soft, white
icing. The knife sunk little way
into the cake and then suddenly
stopped.
Young Mrs. Drake sawed in a Pc
cuiiar way for moment, Then she
withdrew the knife and inserted it in
another part Of the cake. The same
saving motion was employed and q
gritty sound under the knife edge
made Hortense's eager face turn Grim
son. Young Mrs. Drake withdrew the
knife, yisibly embarrassed.
What is the matter?" broke out
Hortense, unable to restrain herself
any longer. why doesn't it cut?
why" faltered young Mrs Drake,
I'm so sorry. but think you forgot

dates!"
Tears rushed into Hortense's eyes,
while Tom valiantly restrained a
strong impulse to double up with
laughter.

suggested. "I'l eat it stones and ALL"

But she it couldn't fail, no matter
how you put 1t together" she told
Tom between sobs.
She did?" exploded Tom. well,

MAJOR HUDSON.

AS an army officer, an engineer
and upright and estimable gentle
man Major Judson is all right; but
when he presumes to meddle with
the administration of our public
schools he shows a woeful lack of
understanding of educational prob
lens. Besides, it must be remem-
bered he clearly exceeds his author
ity and acts without warrant of law
when he attempts to dictate to the
Board of Education.
He is mistaken when he asserts
that there are 500 too many teach
ers in the school system of this
District. AS a matter of fact, there
is not one teacher too many. Be
tween 80 and IS pupils is the maxi
mum under proper conditions that
a teacher in primary grades can in
struct well, giving anything like in
dividual attention to them. With
a larger number. the pupils of med
iocre talent will be neglected; the
backward will suffer and only the
very brightest will make progress
The idea of employing the bar
rack-and-mule-stable method OF
dealing with the housing of school
children shows that Major JudSon
is an excellent military officer, but
a poor school administrator.
The school population of the Dis
trict is about $4,000; the average
daily attendance is about $4,000
There are about 1900 or I3,ooC
children of all races of. school age

5000 cOlOred children between the
ages of six and fourteen who attend

are attendance officers. Let the COM

SHE IS COLORED-

The Board of Education decided
last week that the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. S. B. Wall was colored
and must attend a colored school.
Mrs. Mary Church Fenell took a
stand that could not be misunder-
stood, and for which she is COM
mended by the people in the COM
munity The other two members of
the Board of Education voted
"tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum."
The majority of the Board, white,
voted that Miss Wall was colored.
Just how the court will decide the
question is question of conjecture.
The child of Mr.. and Mrs. Wall
is very bright. There are hundreds
of children in this city of colored
parents equally as bright as Miss
Wall, and are satisfied with being
associated with colored children in
COlOred schools.
The editor of The Bee knows
Mr.. Wall to be the son of the late
Capt. O. S. B. Wall, who distin-
guished himself upon the field of
battle, and the brother-in-law of that
distinguished statesman, the late
Mercer Songster. Both of these
men always defended the race to
which they were identified, and at
no time did they ever attempt to
get away from their race.
The Bee would suggest to all col
ored Americans to be satisfied with
our own schools, and never at
tempt TO go where they are not
wanted. 1t is no disgrace to asso-
ciate with colOred children or to
attend colOred schools. The col
ored schools contain all colors of
children, from the lily white, beau
tiful pinks, olive brown, and any
color that may be found upon the
stand of our American florists. 1t
is the only bouquet race in the
world. Anybody ought to feel
it is an honor to belong to and
associate with such race. The
time will come when the white
American race will deem it a dis
tinguished honor and privilege to
be associated with this bouquet race.
The editor of The Bee is per
fectly satisfied with his color and
the beautiful lilies in our schools.

Justice Anderson's Address
Justice Anderson said: 1--WE are
here today because the men whose
memories we delight to honor were
our own countrymen, who died on
the field of mortal combat that the ma
ton might live, that liberty and the
equality of human rights might not
perish from the earth. We come 10
mingle our tears of affection, and to
scatter Our floral tributes of love
over the graves of our noble dead,
who perished gloriously In a great
civil war.
These men went forth at their
Country's call inspired by two i'm
mortal ideas, first. that liberty might
be universal in America, and, second,
that this starry flag should for all
time be recognized the world over NOT
as the flag of a divided country, but
of an undivided union foot of our
national territory.
The silent eloquence of the hero
ic dead at whose graves we stand
today should not only quicken our
patriotic impulses, but should lead
us to reverently contemplate what if
cost TO maintain these two great
ideas; not that we can thereby add
aught to their imperishable glory,
but rather that we may in some
! measure catch the inspiration of their
! of their mighty faith and heroism
and renew once more our own devo-
ton to the old flag under whose
folds they marched and fought and
died.

RALPH TYLER

GAINESVILLE colored people had
as their guest yesterday one oi
the men who has done much tc
heighten the nations respect for
his race.
Ralph Tyler of Columbus, au-
ditor in the United States Navy
Department, is a fine example oi
the possibilities that lie before
the young colored man of today
In his home city he was learly
known as a worker. For many
years he held various positions Of
responsibility on the Columbus
Dispatch, and won the high re-
gard of his employers and the
people of the city generally.
When the opportunity offered,
he was ready and qualified to
Step~into one of the highest posi-
tions in Ohio's apportionment OF
the federal service.
In men of Tyler's stamp lies
the future of the Negro. ZaneS-
vile, fortunately, has many col
ored citizens identified with this
element of the race.

the Dispatch, Mr.. Tyler went over
to the Ohio State Journal, occupying
a position for three years on the ed
itorial staff, until President Roose-
welt recommended him for his pres
ent position.
Mr.. Tyler is one of Americas S
most noted colored citizens and has
been the subject of many magazine
articles, all of which speak in high
est praise both of the man and Off
cial, rating him second to Booker T.
Washington.
He is only one member of a noted
and talented family. Other than the
brother in Columbus, one is a ply
sician of note in Colorado, another
is composer of popular music in the
west, while two sisters are talented
musicians, often heard of in oratorio
work.
The accounts in Mr.. Tyler's depart
ment are regarded as among the
most difficult of all departments. Its
appropriation last year totaled $I4o,-
600, 900, and it will not fall behind
this year.

LlBERALIlY Y
The Bee believes in upholding
and speaking we'll of its friends
and all friends of humanity. If
there ever was a humanitarian, it
is Capt. James F. Oyster. Miss
Bell Russell states that there has
never been a time that she has been
refused aid in the way of butter,
eggs, cheese and other articles of
food for her camp of colored chill
dren. There are thousands of we'll
to-do colored people in this city
who are not at all liberal and char
liable to this colored camp. There
are thousands of white people in
this city who actually support many
of Our colored charitable inStitu
tions. The Bee is also informed that
Mr.. w. Y. Cox, of the Second Ma
tional Bank, is also a liberal con-
tributor TO this camp. Why don't
the colored people in this city get
4 move on themselves and do some
thing for the many worthy chari-

him because he has been a faithful

such degree at such a tender age
from one of the greatest colleges
in the United States IS, indeed, COM
mendable This young journalist
will now take up the profession of

will be as successful in the legal
profession as he has been in the
College Department of Howard
University. The Bee congratulateS

for him, with the assistance of God,
a successful and brilliant future.

The Colored Normal School, No.

a new head.
1t pays sometimes to attend to
your own business and allow other
people to attend to their business.
The Board of Education is able
to attend to its own business with
out the assistance of the Engineer
Commissioner.
The Bee congratulates you, Prin-
cipal Williams; you didn't lose
your head when your boys wanted

of fne-disciplined boys.
President Taft would do the peo-
pie favor if he would tell the En-
gineer Commissioner to attend to
the business of his office and per-
NIT the people to run their own
schools.
The Engineer Commissioner be-
lieves in one captain and two lieu
tenants to take charge of 90 men,
and only one teacher to manage
90 children. The Engineer Com
missioner is a dreamer.
If the Board of Education wants
to please the people, appoint Miss
Millie Gibbs principal Miss Gibbs
would bring the same Improvement
to the Normal School as Mr.. Will
Jams brought to the High School.
The Bee would suggest to the
Engineer Commissioner to the pro-
priety of appointing a few colored
men in his department or promote
a few of the meritorious ones.
There is only one clerk and one
messenger in the Engineers Office.
The Colored messenger is as Capa-
bic as any clerk in the office.
