the teams from Fisk and Meharry on
Thanksgiving, and the one that
should bring hope and consolation to
Negroes everywhere, is that these
young men showed that they have de-
cided to conduct their annual con-
test among themselves, and to do so
without friction or malice. We have
always held that if the students in
our advanced institutions of learn
ing cannot play together, what hope
is there that the men of the race will
ever be able to agree on any PROPOSE
ton after they leave school? Athlet-
les in school mean more than mere
winning of contests. 1t is a contest
of the young mems manhood But
the game is over now, neither team is
disgraced, and the people are still re-
Joicing over the manliness with
which it was conducted.

Santa Claus for the Unfortunate.

In a few days the annual celebra-
ton of the birth of the Christ will
be observed. 1t has been many years
since the shepherds in the field of
Judea saw that memorable star that
was so awe-inspiring. We need not
recite here the many incidents that
occurred then, for with the millions
Of Bibles and other books and tracts
that are being distributed in every
quarter of the globe, the story is
pretty generally known; what we
wish to impress now is the need of
practicing the teaching of the lowly
Nazarene.
Jesus came to the world as a gift to
mankind, the only Son of his father
"a great and gracious gift. And
While among men He taught that the
most glorious life is that life lived
for others. 1t would be grand
thing, if on the 25th morning of De-
cember, 1911, the people could greet
the sunlight with the assurance that
every poor child and every unfortu-
nate man and woman were made to
aeel that somebody had remembered
them. We need not stop to argue
whether every man has had an equal
opportunity to prepare for himself;
or that every father who is able

to do so there must be no tagging,

thought that should be uppermost in
the minds of the people is that every
body ought to be impressed on Christ

of the day and the celebration. They
should be taught that great lesson Of
giving, and that the Creator will
bless the giver The children whose
parents have not thought to provide
for them should be made to know
that somebody in the world, after all,
does care for them, and desires that

Our School Teachers.

Nashville Negroes have right to
boast of their public school system,
for it is the equal of any found in
the South. The teaching force, as
whole, is above the average, but when
it is remembered that there are three
universities in this city from which
large classes graduate every year,
both in the normal and college de-
partments, it can be seen why it is
possible for our Board of Education
to always keep a competent corps of
teachers in the Negro schools Cities
all through the South look to Nash
vile for competent teachers. They
are scattered throughout every state,
holding the highest positions, and
are giving satisfaction generally.
This is the good news we hear from
every quarter. But it seems that there
is a spirit of indifference on the part
of some of the teachers in the public
schools of Nashville
We nave it from good authority
that some of our public school teach
ers are interested in the work only
to the extent of the amount of pay
they receive. 1t is alleged that some
Of the teachers have been heard to
remarks to pupils that they get their
pay whether the children learn their
lessons or not. The information also
comes to us that some are so uncon-
cerned in the work as to forget them
selves entirely at times, and to lose
their temper with children. 1t is charg-
ed that they speak grabbed to the little
tots, and use language unbecoming
any one in a school room or even on
the streets. We are loath to believe
that these charges are true, never
theless it is too important a matter
to go unnoticed.
School teaching is a sacred profess
sion, and requires many sacrifices on
the part of every one who follows it;
it is not an easy work in any sense
of the word. The true school teacher
earns more than the city or county
is able to pay for the services rem
dered The average man works ten
hours day, while the true school
teacher works at least sixteen hours
day, and sometimes eighteen. There
is no end to the work of the real
teacher Being as they are, confront
ed with the children of every kind
and of varied dispositions and hay
ing as they do to teach the children
of the most painstaking parents along
with those of the most careless, they
are confronted daily with trying ex-

Educating the Children.

We call special attention to an ar
ticle on another page by chat relent-
less educator, Booker T. Washington.
The subject under discussion is "The
Education of Our Children" DR..
Washington is always on the alert in
the interest of the education and
training of the Negro youth. His
words are always uttered after ma
tured elaboration, and while we are
all agreed that it is imperative that
the children be educated, it is neces
sary that we read the thoughts Of
ether men, and especially those who
are devoting their life to this one
subject.
In Nashville and in Tennessee we
have n splendid public school system,
cut it can be improved, and it is the
duty of every citizen to do their full
duty along this line. There are many
little things that the humblest can
do to aid in this tremendous work.
and the people should be educated to
take advantage of every opportunity
to do the least thing that will aid in
the education and training of some
child

Street Car Manners.

There are some people who never
stop to consider the rights of others.
An incident happened recently that
illustrates this fact very clearly. A
colored lady boarded street car and
walked briskly through the isle and
attempted to sit down beside white
girl. The girl moved to the end of
the seat and the colored lady tried to
push her in. A colored man seeing
the spectacle they both were making
of themselves, gave his seat to the
colored lady and did what he thought
would put an end to the controversy
But this colored lady was given seat
by another colored lady and they be-
gan to recite dialogue, of which
the following is a fair sample: IF
Id er had time I'd er pushed her in
the jaw with my fist" Il would just
as leave go to the workhouse this
rorning as not" This lady is a
school teacher, too. The other lady
joined just as vociferously in the
abuse of the girl and all white people.
In the meantime the conductor,
upon request of passenger, came
in and asked the girl to move to the
front, but nothing would atone to
this colored school teacher; she had
to "cuss" to prove that she belonged
to our pile, as she is as bright as any
white person. Then men shrugged
their shoulders, hoping that the
woman would hush, but no, no, she
could not.
To say the least this was bad man
ners, even on street car. There is
law governing street cars, and we
all have rights under the law. If we
demand our rights we will get them
sometimes, and if there is only a
probability of our getting some Of our
rights under the law, how utterly out
Of the question it is for us to suppose
that we will get any of them when we
take matters in our own hands.
The incident cited above was unfor.
tunate indeed. We have the best
street car arrangement that can pos
sibly be had under a Jim Crow"
law. 1t will be the better part of wis
dom for all to either make up their
minds to abide by the law and conform
to the regulations or stay off the cars.
Bad manners will not help matters
on the street car any more than they
will elsewhere.

Fisk.Meharry Game.

The annual Thanksgiving football
game between Meharry and Fisk is
receiving favorable comment on all
sides. The game was a grand affair
from every point of view. Both
teams were we'll coached, and espe-
cially was this noticeable in their de-
pertinent If any roughness was in
dulged in by the members of either
team no one could see it so far as we
have been able to learn; while on the
ether hand, it was noticeable on many
occasions when the tackler of this or
that team would down his man of
the opposition, if his fall was un-
usually hard, there would be recon.
Citation in q sportsmanlike manner.
The fellow who did the tackling
would be seen to slap the other fell
low on the back expressing to him
that it was all a friendly attack after
all, and it made every fellow under
stand that while each side was work
ing for dear life to gain victory, it
was evident that they had resolved
to put a premium on their sportsman
ship. The people are elated over the
spirit exhibited. 1t speaks volumes
for the young men of both institu-
tions, and also for the coaches who
trained them for the contest.
Special mention is also due the of.
fcials who conducted the game. 1t
must be conceded that Prof. H. A.
Cameron is the peer of any referee in
the South. He, with Prof. George
Washington, Prof. M. K. Johnson, OF
Atlanta Baptist College, Mr.. Ira Davis
and the other gentlemen associated
with them, make team of officials
that cannot be excelled. AS much
depends upon the way game is CON.
Quoted as upon the way it is played,
and these gentlemen, every one of
them, demonstrated beyond a doubt
that they know how to conduct q
football game All of these things
are receiving the praise of the people
of Nashville and the visitors who
came to see this great contest.
Much vr,oe cold oho,,t tba oapoa bo
fore it was played. The Globe was
criticised for utterances made con.
cerning the matter, but we were
working for the people, as we are
their servants. We knew the game
was desired by those who support it
and while we knew this to be- true
we have never considered it ouI
province to dictate to any one how
they shall conduct their own business
SO the charge by some that the Globe
was criticising President Gates, oil
Fisk University, or any one else fol
deciding not to have a football gamS
on Thanksgiving day is erroneous
We have never attempted to do that
nor have we even inferred that the
president or the prudential commit
tee, or the members of the faculty
haven't the right to say when the
Fisk eleven should play their games
It is their right to do this, and il
the game had not been played the
Globe would never have uttered g
word of criticism against the officials
for their decision We wish to be
plainly understood on this point.
The greatest thing demonstrated by
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-12-15

periences. No one will dispute this.
So therefore, the position of teacher
IS as taxing and as exacting as any
vocation man can choose, and being
human as they are, the teacher may
be expected at times to become
threadbare and impatient, and it is
necessary that the man or woman
who accepts the position to teach
school be fit morally, intellectually
and physically. 1t will require all of
these qualities for successful work to
be done in the schools
The people of Nashville are COM
planning about the work of some of
the teachers, but not in the right
way. 1t is their privilege to make
complaint against any teacher if they
know that teacher is not doing his or
her full duty, but it is unfair for
parents to accuse teachers of negli-
gence unless they know it to be alb
solutely true, and if they know it to
be true and neglect to make COM
plant against the individual the pa
rents are not doing their full duty
to their children nor to the commu-
nifty at large. There are in Nashville
men and women competent to fill
every position in the city schools, and
if the force is not what it should be,
the fault lies as much with the peo-
pie and more so than it does with
the Board of Education or the prin-
cipals of the schools.
