1t was learned from another source
that Principal Washington has ro-
ceiVed from President Taft a letter
IN which he states that he Intends to
make q contribution towards the en-
dowment fund of Tuskegee Institute

Il strenuous effort is, to be made to
increase the endowment fund of the
school to $4,000 600 is arousine
widespread interteSt. among the i'll

is felt that the amount now needed
can be raised by the end Of the pres.

Washington as Strategic Point.
By N. BARNETT DODsoN.
In Lincoln Heights, a suburb Of the
District of Columbia, just beyond Ben
nings, on the Columbia car line, is the
National Training School For Women
and Girls. The institution was opened
in October, 1909, under the auspices of
the National Baptist convention.
The school site consists of six acres
Of land, upon which are two splendid
frame buildings, in which the work of
the school is carried on. Under the
presidency Of Miss Mamie Heller. Bur
roughs the institution bids fair to be-
come potent factor for the Industrial,
moral and religious uplift of our peo-
pie.
The National Baptist convention Is
the largest organization of Negro Bap-
lists in the world. 1t has had phenom.
enal success. But the great possibili-
ties Of its sphere Of usefulness have
become more apparent since the
launching of the National Training
school.
The institution is unique in that 1t
prepares each student to f1ll the posi-
ton for which by nature she seems
best suited. Each woman and girl
must specialize in whatever line of
work she elects to pursue as voca
ton. The literary and technical
courses are so correlated that a stu.
dent cannot take one without the other.
This is not "just another school" 1t
Is a school with distinct mission. ill.
ing niche that Is not being filed by
any other school. 1t is not going to
turn out any makeshifts. 1t is going
to mix brains with domestic service of
every kind and develop the moral and
the spiritual powers of every student
1t sends out
Washington Is strategic point for
such an institution. With all the insti-
tutions in the south we have been con-
vinced that nine-tenths of our people

need 1t badly. The same cry is heard
In Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
We need school that will take hold
Of the green" women and girls and
teach them in a practical, comprehen-
sive way how to meet the new de-
mands for skilled labor. Since there
II no school doing an educational work
Of this kind. how necessary is the
school located in Lincoln Heights!
But the school has a broader field
than Washington and the adjacent
cities The convention reaches a lar
ger number Of the colored people Of all
classes than any other organization.
Until we have In our homes women

SEEKS FAMILY HERE
St. Louis Man Claims That Wife and
Children Are Being Held Here

George H. Tscharner, residing at
1923 Wisconsin avenue, st. Louis, Mo-,
applied to the Kenosha police this
morning for aid in locating his wife
and two children who have been miss
ing from St. Louis for some time and
whom he has traced to Kenosha. The
story of Tscharner is an unusual one
and the police of the city are giving
him every possible assistance. He de-
clared to the officers that Mrs. Theo-
dore Edwards, a sister of his wife was
resident of Kenosha and that she
had come to st. Louis some time ago
for visit. The St. Louis man
charges that Mrs. Edwards broke up
his home and managed to get his wife
to take the children and leave st.
Louis. He claims that he does not
know just when they left the western
city, but that he has discovered that
they came to Kenosha. Chief Of Pc
lice o Hare and the other men of the
Kenosha department took up the case
and made a search about the city but
failed to find any trace of either the
wife and children or the sister-in-law.
However, it is alleged that Tscharner
is making the rounds of the city and
has declared that he will make a house
to house canvass in order to find the
members of his family. The man
seems to be desperately in earnest
about the matter and insists that there
were no family troubles responsible for
the departure of the wife and children
and that their departure was largely
caused by the statements made by the
sister-in-law.
