questions relating to the reorganiza-

of the federal government. Prominent
among those questions would be those

Child Study
The association convention was divid-
ed into eighteen separate meetings,
each assigned to the consideration of
a specific topic. Three phases of child
study were developed by the kinder
garten and elementary schools depart
ments in joint session.
I'VE have learned that all of the So
called naughtiness of children may be
merely danger signals indicating dis
turbances somewhere" said Macmillan
P. %. Grossmann of Plainfield, n. J.,
discussing danger signals In young
children" in the child study section.
THE time may come when there will
be science of parenth ood." he said.
Teachers should consider themselves
students of child nature, not child
tamers."
That 1t is time gifted children be
given as much care as the defective
anu lHeHlClenI was the statement of
Supt. Robert J. Alley of Indianapolis.
The forward movement of civilization
are never led by average men, he said
they are always under the leadership
of an individual who, because of his
superior ability, has stepped out and
beyond the crowd. Too many leaders of
the past have been forced to train
themselves in the school of experience.
The ordinary school has failed to meet
the needs of such students 1t is worth
more to train the genius to the realiza-
ton of his possibilities than to bring
the deficient child to the height of his
capa bility.
THE ability to raise money, whether
from wealthy men or through state leg
islators Is sine qua non for the Amer
lean university president" declared
President James II. Baker of the Uni
yersity of Colorado, addressing the
meeting of the department of high edu-
cation on administrative possibilities
outside of teaching.
THE universities" he contended, ARE
too much governed by the spirit of the
times and are compelled to measure
everything too much by the quantity
| rather than quality"

JUDGE PRITCHARD
ADVISES NEGROES

Durham, N. c., July 5.-Advocating
the early agricultural training of the
negro In the belief that it would prove
of infinite value to the morals of the
colored race, and the return of the
negro to the farm as a solution largely
of the question of the present high cost
of living, United States Judge Jeter G..
Pritchard of Asheville, N. c., made the
| opening address of the summer course
of the National Religious Training
school and Chatauqua for the colored
race, here today.
Stating that the opening of this
scho DOL filled much needed want, Judge
Pritchard declared that the colored
man was essentially the leader of his
race and 1T was through him that his
people might be most effectively reach
ed. Only full justice here and else
where, he said, could be done the negro
by remembering that he had come fresh
from slavery where dependence upon
masters had rendered him ambtionless,
without education or property.
THE colored man is a citizen of the
country" he continued. And while he
enjoys all the rights and immunities of
citizenship. he must rely upon himself
IL he would accomplish the best things
In our citizenship. l am thankful to
say that there has never been a time
since emancipation when majority
of the white people of the south were
not friendly to the negro so far as his
welfare as citizen is concerned.
Judge Prltchard advised the co1ored
people to seek the farms. He said one
found less racial antagonism in the
rural districts, his confident belief was
that no class of men was being better
treated than the farmers. and he de-
clared that migration back to the farm
would eliminate much of the criminal
element that cursed the entire race.

NOTES HERE AND THERE

The Birmingham women are ever ready
lie good. The Birmingham men are the
busiest men anywhere In the country,
perhaps, because Birmingham is new and
everything has to be done for the future.
It's rapid growth and its very newness
makes the burden of development some
times seem hard to those men and women
who realize the necessity of building for
the future. even for the present. A prom
inent woman said yesterday: "One of the
greatest needs at present Is a home for
tuberculosis patients. 1t Is a present
need. 1t Is a past need. 1t Is a future
necessity. Some of our public-spirited
men have realized this and have gone
valiantly to work to establish a temper
airy abode for people suffering from that
dread disease known as the great white
plague These men ask the women to
help thenn-to lend them their sympathy
and cooperation. Surely there Is not
woman in the city who will not make
any sacrifice to attend the meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow
what these men have to say on the sub
ject of one of the greatest needs in the
state today. Every woman who is In
terested in the health of the city is urged
to come to this meeting"
Mr.. McGrath says there are 80 already
known whom he believes will be cured
If suitable home can be made for them
with treatment such as would be given
them in such a home.
Mrs w. L. Murdoch said yesterday:
please ask the women to attend the
conference Thursday morning and see
what we can do to help out In this cause,
which Is of such vital interest to the en-
tire community"
Several of the ladies volunteered to call
up 10 Of their women friends and ask
them to attend the meeting. One OF the
ladies said: 1T Is hard to get the Bir-
mingham women out when the weather
is warm, but ask them to come, whether
1t rains or whether 1t shines, to this meet
| ing
The meeting will take place, as before
said, at the Chamber of Commerce at II
o'clock Thursday morning The ladies
especially are invited to attend.
