Work Commenced for Construction o
New Building to Cost 100000
Founded by Pirate.

demolishing the old Jerry McAule,
mission, an institution where thou

converted. A new 100000 structure
in which to carry on the work on q
more extensive scale will be erected
The mission was established by
Jerry McAuley, an eX-river pirate

prison in 1871. He had been converted
and mixed with his old associates only
to tell them of the better life.
The final services yesterday were
attended by a score of men high III

Dentists Declare Thousands of Pupils
Suffer in Health From Decayed
MoIars-Defect Serious.

MISUNDERSTANDING that in some
districts of Chicago 81 per cent. of the
school children have decayed teeth
and that bad teeth cause criminal in
stincts, a research committee of the
Chicago Dental society today made an
appeal for the establishment of fund
of $4,000 to establish dental clinics in
the schools and for the school children
of Chicago.
The report of the committee char
acterizes the condition as alarming
and dangerous. Attention of city Of
ficials, as we'll as dentists and philan-
thropic citizens, is urged to start a
city-wide movement to have the school
children given dental treatment.
"This MEANS" says the report, "that
unless something is done to ameliorate
the condition there are ninety-seven
out of every 100 school children who
are to be handicapped in their efforts
to make for themselves an honorable
place in the world"
Several well-known Chicago philan-
thropists already have pledged sums
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 toward
the fund. &
Continuing, the report says: School
children Of Chicago are suffering seri-
GUS disability through neglect of their
teeth. In one district in the southern
part of the city where an examination
of 700. children has been made 1t is
found that 81 per cent are in need Of

time and energy to carry out this
work, but they are not in a position
to bear the financial burden which it
entails. A fund of $4,000 is needed

Christmas Casualties.

The list of Christmas casualties
this year may not be as large as they
have been in other years, but are too
large for city of this size, and more
so when it is taken into consideration
that Nashville is in fact the Athens
of the South and it is expected that
with her splendid public school sys-
tenn and her numerous colleges and
universities she would have rea-
sonably sane citizenship.
1t will be observed by perusal of
the list that the majority of the Ne
groes injured are young men between
the. ages of 10 and 80, while the ma
jority of the white persons injured
were between the ages of 5 and H..
This is a bad showing for the black
men and shows that there is laxity
somewhere that must be checked.
Christmas is time when all should
be happy, but it is imperative that
the people should be taught the real
meaning of the celebration, and what
happiness is; that getting drunk and
shooting everybody, friend as we'll as
foe, is foolishness, and is invariably
the result Of liquor in and reason
out We should rejoice, if with a
loud shout, let it be to the glory of
him who gave his son ransom for
many" ry7

The Emancipation Celebration.

AT this season of the year, it is
generally the case that Negroes
throughout the country discuss and in
some instances celebrate the issuance
of the Emancipation Proclamation. 1t
often happens that men who were
residents of different sections of the
country at that time are now living
in the same community. For example
a Texan who has been accustomed to
celebrate the occasion the fourth
day of June is living in the same
neighborhood with a Tennessean who
has been taught to celebrate on the
first day of January. You see how far
apart they are. These two men en-
gage in a friendly discussion but part
without reaching an agreement. What
is true in the case of the Texan and
Tennesseon is true of Negroes of
other states and sections of states,
ond on we go as race, divided over
a matter that is most vital to us.
All agree that the Proclamation
was written, issued, and put into
effect. The one thing the Negroes
should do is to discuss this matter
thoroughly and settle on a day accept
able to the Negroes of all sections of
the country. 1t should not be hasti-
ly decided, but ample time should be
given for our ablest men to discuss
this question and then it would prob.
ably be a good plan for each state to
elect representative to national
convention and there have the matter
settled by the people once for all
Then Negroes in every state should
waive their favorite days and all joir
in one national celebration from sea
to sea and from the lakes to the Gulf
