Public School Athletics.
The board Of education of the Dis.
trict Of Columbia designated Edwin B
Henderson to organize an athletic
suance Of that authority Mr.. Hender-
son recently called a meeting and or
ganized the league. Assistant Super
intendent II. c. Bruce acted as tenn
porary chairman, and the following
officers were elected:
President, James E. Walker, super
vising principal of the Thirteenth d.
vision; vice president, G. G. Wilkinson;
secretary, Z. b. Henderson; treasurer,
Miss A. E. Thompson, principal Of the
Slater school. The president appoint
ed the following committees: Publici-
ty and printing, ]. Moria Saunders,
chairman: j. o. Montgomery, B. G.
Dodson, E. II. Lawson. Miss A. Shor-
ter; finance committee, G. S. Wormley,
chairman; w. A. Hamilton, Eugene
Clark, w. B. Hartgrove, r. b. Green.
Mr.. Henderson had the following to
say concerning the league and its OBJ
jects:
The purpose Of the league is to en-
courage manly participation in ath-
letic sports by the boys of the public
schools, especially the elementary
schools. Such a league as has been
formed will work wonders in the for.
nation Of good habits Of loyalty and
discipline among the boys.
The various stunts which the boys
will be called upon to perform will ap,
peal to all Of them, not merely to the
record breaker. AS 1t now stands
there are but few athletics, especially
within school, in which all the boys
can take part. The only physical train
ing which the boys are now afforded Is
that which they go through with the
girls Of the classroom.
The league will also seek to take
hold of the overgrown boys in the
graded schools who are anxious t
withdraw because they are overgrowI
and provide them with an incentive To-
further development, mentally ant
physically. The athletics will appea
to the boys not from the standpoint o
breaking record made by the excep
tional boy, but equaling or SURPRISING
the record df such it may be called
made by the average boy. Sue
means will prevent the boys from be
coming discouraged.
The league, however, does not pre-
pose to discriminate against the girls
They will be permitted, under certai
restrictions, to engage in games unde
the supervision of female member o
the physical training department.
Edwin B. Henderson, the originate
Of the movement, is one of the hes
known colored athletes among athleti
promoters In the country. He Is nov
athletic director for the colored higl
schools. Last year he got out
"Spalding's" manual on athletic con
tests In the colored schools and col
leges Of the south Atlantic states. Mr.

A PLEA FOR THE CONSERVATION
OF ANOTHER GREAT Ma
TIoNAL RESOURCE.
By Mr., +. p. Chisholm.

in November No. Of Education"
Mr.. Chisholm calls attention to the
fact that there Is as great waste OF
Negro brains and industrial efficiency
as there Is of our National resources
Among other things Mr.. Chisholm
says, when to the fact Of short
school session we add the further fact
that the instruction given Is Of the
most elementary sort, the teacher
pitiably ignorant, the school building
woefully inadequate, and then con-
slider that less than one-half of the
Negroes of school age are in school
even the short school term, the evil
dence is clear that this alarming and
unsatisfactory condition Of Negro COM
mon schools demands immediate and
vigorous action" Measured by the
facts and figures before us. education
on any large scale has not yet been
tried for the Negroes. Furthermore,
unless these young Negroes are edu-
Gated, ignorance VIII inevitably gro"
denser. And this simply means that
crimes, lynching, lawlessness. poverty
and economic inefficiency will In.
crease. The net result will be vast
national loss growing out of the more
basic problem Of Negro ignorance aris-
ing from national Indifference. In the
light of history and in consideration
of our own experience as nation re-
garding the relationship of illiteracy
to crime and race antagonisms. 1t Is
clear that the proper provision for the
education of every Negro child In the
land will mean an immense saving to
the nation in Negro intelligence and
thrift. Any other policy will be waste
full and criminal"

Henderson has spent much time at

The highest average that has been
made on the punching machine in the
census office was recently made by
Miss Eva b. Price Of Atlanta, Ga.
The work on these machines Is done
on the piece basis, and during this pc
Rod Miss Price earned $SS. The high
est sum paid any clerk on this work
during any two weeks was $S5.
There are about 500 clerks working
on the punching machines, and 1t is
considered very high for clerk to
punch as many as 5000 cards in one
day. Miss Prices highest mark for
one day was 1900 cards. She accom-
plished this unusual average during
the regular seven hour day and has
never worked extra time.
