A CHURCH BELL IN THE CITY.
Baltimore SUM

DdlIluiOIG ouuJ
Calling to prayer meeting on We'd
nesday night,
Suddenly over the rattle and clang
Of steam and traffic and toll and
blight,
The silyery peal of church bell
rang.
Securing multitudes lifted their heads:
Dyamos halted. Where Babylon
treads
Gay and gaudy in alley and street,
And bleared eyes, leering, with blue
eyes meet,
Echoes of something caught old and
young
In the musical tilt of the BELLS sweet
tongue.
Visions tc Babylon came of light
In the church bell music of Wednes-
day night;
And dreams rose over the dynamo
roar
Of the city streets of a vineclad door
In summer valleys of long ago
With a church bells beautiful tremulo
Tradesmen bankers, bare-armed toll,
Homeward bound from the long days
toll,
Paused one moment to catch the spell
Of far-off things in the evening bell,
Calling them, calling them, down,
down, down
To still, sweet places of childhood
town.
Bell fthe blessed and sweet refrain
Many went back in your spell again
To sweeter moments and cleaner life
In unstained valleys afar from strife,
With rosy summers and dreams of
spring
Spread over the hills like a magic
wing.
Just that to prayer meeting Wednes-
day night
The silVery peal of a church bell
rang,
The thoughts of a city arose in flight
Ger the roar and rattle and throb
and clangi

SOME MERCHANTS NEVER LEARN
THIS LESSON.

In these days, when economy is the
WatchWord of every household, the
husband owes it to his wife to see
that she has the morning paper How
else ca nshe tell where to shop to the
best advantage excepting through
newspaper advertisements.
The Savannah Morning News ex-
presses a great fact very strikingly
in the above editorial paragraph. AS
it says, in these days when every
dime, indeed, every penny, counts in
the management of household affairs.
the wise housekeeper seeks the bar
gain counter with more than ordinary
persistence. A dollar saved on shoes,
on clothing, on dry goods, on hats
on any of the inuumerable things that
go-to make up the total cost of living
outside of table supplies, means that
much more to meet the frightfuIly
heavy cost of food And the only
place one can learn about the bar
gains is through the columns of the
daily newspaper, the regular visitor
to every household, that comes every
morning fresh with it's offerings from
the enterprising merchants o fthe city.
Reading advertisements is as much
the duty and pleasure of the average
housekeeper as reading the purely To-
cal news of the day Indeed frequent
ly the biggest news item that paper
contains is the announcement of a cut
in prices, the institution of bargain
sale, the lowering of values to a point
that entices the wife or the husband
to replenish the family wardrobe while
,he bargains are to be had. An up-to-
date merchant appreciates this fact
And every newspaper to such a mer-
chant becomes the highly priced me-
dunn whereby he keeps himself, his
establishment, and his goods in con-
slant touch with the busy housekeep-
ers of the city.
The Morning News asks a peril
nent question when it says: How
else can she tel lwhere to shop to the
best advantage except through the
newspaper advertisements. The busy
women of Americas, for instance.
don't go running out into the streets
to chase a hand bill tosee what some
business man is offering. Neither do
they take drive out into the country
to see what he had painted on some
fence rail last year. Neither do they
go to the hotel blotter to see if he
offers any inducements to customers
today. They go where the women of
all other towns go, to the columns of
the newspaper that visits them regu-
larly every morning. But it does seem
as though some merchants will never
learn the lesson. The old fashioned
had bill, the side of the barn, and the
tin tackled on the post, still seem to
some of them the best advertising me-
dunn. Strange, but some people never
learn to catch up with the times.

CLASSICAL EDUCATION OF Ne
GR0ES.

Up in the Morris Brown College, the
negro educational institution at At
lanta, a split is said to be on as to
whether it shall be conducted in the
future along classical or industrial
lines. The dispute is the outgrowth
of the raising of funds to replace the
main building, destroyed by fire some
time ago. Two factions are bestir-
ring themselves, it is reported, one
that seeks to retain the college in the
city and run it along the lines Of
higher mathematics, Latin and Greek,
and another that seeks to remove it
to the suburbs and give it more Of
an industrial trend
There can be hardly any ques-
ton as to which faction should win if
the genuinely best interests of the race
are to be considered. The leaders
who are seeking to direct the work of
the institution along industrial lines
undoubtedly have the proper view of
the education that at this time is best
for the average negro youth. What
the south needs, inasmuch as the ne
gro undoubtedly is to be educated, and
what the negro needs, is training that
will make him more useful to the
south, more helpful to himself, and
that education is necessarily a com
posite of the intellectual and them
dustrial
The South needs negroes we'll train
ed along Industrial lines. No one can
truly say, negro leaders or whites,
that the South needs negroes who can
translate Cicero in a poor sort of
fashion, or work out problem in al
zebra. The negro turned out with a
half education along such lines is
more to be pitied than otherwise. He
has only too frequently been untitled
for successful work in the lines that
are really open to him, and in which
he might readily become an indus
trious. honest, respected citizen, own
ing his own home and rearing a fami-
ly in decency, and in lieu of such
training has a poor apology that is
of no service to him or to his race at
all.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
negroes and whites who are working
to give more of an Industrial turn to
the Norris Brown and other negro
schools in this section will succeed
in their efforts. They are unquestion-
ably on the right track. So far as
southern assistance and sympathy for
the college in question is concerned it
is apt to be far greater, and much
easier secured, if it is working on in
dustrial lines than if it is devoted to
an education that the best sense OF
the whites tells them is prejudiciaI to
the future interests fthe pupils of
the school, of the negro race as a whole
and of the South specifically. 1t may
bethat northern phlanthropists are
misled into belief contrary to this
but a closer study of the situation OF
the negro race in the South as it must
be for the next generation or two
should, it would seem, convince any
fair minded man or woman that the
classical training is not only wasted
time, but likely to result in evil rath-
err than good in all except the rarest
instances.
