Although the schools, colleges and uni
versites are pouring forth stream OIL
graduates every year and the problem Of
what shall be done with this ever in
creasing yearly output grows more diff
cult, it is each day more evident that
ability and merit will make places fol
themselves, The recent appointment Of
Miss Alice Porter Murray, one of our
most intelligent, progressive and am
bilious young ladies to the position of
teacher in Sumner High School, at Cairo.
ILL.,, is proper acknowledgment of her
ability and special fitness for that posi-
tion, for which she has spent lifetime
in preparing.
Miss Murray is the youngest daughter
of Hon, P. II. Murray, editor of the st.
Louis Advance, and the niece of Mr.. Il.
Murray, the caterer, of 1916 u street,
N, w., Washington, d. c., with whom she
resided during her attendance in school
and college, She graduated with high
honors from the Howard University, May
25th, 1910, and upon the strength of her
thorough preparation in the Teachers
College, of that university and the excel.
lent recommendations she received this
most excellent appointment.
Sumner High School was established by
the State of Illinois in the city Of Cairo
for colored students. The curriculum is
about the usual FIR standard high school
work. Most, if .fot all the other high
schools, we believe, in the State are
mixed. The salaries paid to teachers in
Illinois are about the same as to actual
amount of money as in Washington, but
the cost of living, we are told, is very
mach less, so that the purchasing value
is considerably enhanced,
The city of Cairo is live, growing
town, thriving and progressive, with a
population of about $4,000. of whom
about $500 are colored people.
Miss Murray is generously gifted with
the quality of mind and temperament
which forms good teachers and leaders of
others less blessed, added to these are
special fitness and broad training, kind
ness of heart and general disposition,
which assures her success in the field of
her choice. Besides these, Miss Murray
has Il special bent for the study of soci-
ology and political economy, which to-
gether with keen interest and aptitude
for literature and journalism, would of
themselves make her a strong force in
the educational world.
Cairo is to be congratulated. Wash
ington loses one more bright mind and
noble soul. Cairo gains, we lose.
Miss Murray left Washington last
Thursday. and from late advices we learn
that she was very much pleased with her
new city and the people, and that she
looks forward to n pleasant and success
full life in her new home.

has several very good songs, such as,
"Golly, Amt | Wicked" Porto Rico"
"They Call Me Shine" 1t gives me
pleasure to state that our Ford Dabney
is the composer of all three of these
songs. The company has fine collec

sentatioh of mo Use Working All the
Tine" is decidedly pleasing. This chorus
is composed by James Tim Brumm, or
Jim Tim, we might say, who composed
most of the choruses and incidental music
for this production. Mr.. Dudley deserves
great credit for the effort he has spent
in the details of construction to make
this production the pleasing play it is.
