THE CoLoRED SCHOOLS.
To the Supervising Pricipals,
Building Principals.


Ladies and Gentlemen: Many pu-'
pills of all grades have dropped out OF
school for one reason and another
between June and September. Some
of these pupils were promoted to
higher grades-even to the high and
manual training sche OILS Many were
not promoted; the reasons are var
iOus-irregular attendance figuring as
capital cause, but lack OF interest in
the book studies and the need for
the desire to 60 to work having an
appreciable effect
In more cases than we ordinarily
imagine the elimination of pupils can
be prohtably prevented by moral
suaSiOn." Conferences between teach
ers and parents nOW-at the very be
ginning of the school year-may con-
vince one parent that Henry ought to
be sent to the high or manual train
ing school or kept there, may con-
vince another parent that Mary should
at least be kept in school until she has
had all the opportunities that the eight
grades of the elementary school offers
And in consequence of this moral sua-
sion Mary and Henry may eventually
be enabled to live more happy and
more useful lives, to be better citizens
In order TO prevent the undue elm
inatiOn of our pupils from school it /;
| essential % for the teacher affected
| to know the name, sex, age, grade anC
home address of each pupil who ha:
| dropped out between June and Sep
tember and (2) for the teacher TO hav,
| brought home to her heart the duty
of employing a reasonable amount o
| time and effort to save the child to thi
! fschOol
l beg to place this matter befor,
the Supervisors and Principals ii
order that they may take II up carr
! estly and Systematically with thei
teachers, devising ways and mean
for attaining the desired ends.

emphasize how important it is to tn
f! development of our community tha
as many clever boys and as man
promising girls as possible be retaine
in school until they have won di

such boys and girls become the lead

THE CENSUS OF 1910.

Principal Booker 7. Washington
furnished to the Associated Press, for
publication last week, the statement
which follows bearing upon the hg-
ures issued by Mr.. Dana Durand, Di-
rector of the United States Census
Bureau. The report as published IN
the Associated Press was necessarily
somewhat abbreviated. The following
review of the Census figures by
Principal Washington may be OF in
terest. He said:
The Director Of the Census issued
on November 9th a preliminary state
ment of the white and Negro popula-
ton in the United States as shown
by the Thirteenth Census. According
to the returns there were in 1910,
oI,o72, zoo persons in the United States
subdivided as to color as follows:
white, 8I,732,687 or $50 per cent;
| Negro, o,828,2o4 or Io.7 per cent;
all other persons, Al, ,285 or O4 per
/ cent
The increase of the Negro pOpuia-
ton for the ten years IoOo-IoIo was
| less than for previous decades. From
! 1880 to 1900 the increase was 1876 per
| L.
was IS per cent; and from 1000 to
/ 1910 the increase was II.3 per cent.
| We must not, however, infer that be
cause there is a decreasing rate of
| increase of the Negro population that
there is a danger of the Negroes
dying out in the United States; for
should the per cent OF increase fall
until it was only per cent, there
would still be for each decade a con-
siderable increase IN the number OF
Negroes. The census figures also show
that exclusive of immigrants there is a
decreasing rate of the increase OF
whites. This decrease, however, is ap-
parently not as great as for the Ne
groes The natural rate of increase OF
whites was from 1880 to 1890, 20 pei
cent; 1000 to 1910, IS per cent.
! During the past thirty years there
lhas been a considerable change in The
population of whites and Negroes II
the South. In 1880 the whites con
stituted $50 per cent. of the popula
ton and the Negroes 80 per cent; IL
1000 the whites constituted 67.4 pc
cent and the Negroes 32.3.; in IqIt
| the whites constituted 600 per cent
anu luC NNSlONS Z8.O. ~ =fSBOSO -
50 per cent. of the Negroes, live il
the South and I,o78,9o4 or 100 pc
cent. of the total Negro population
- lived outside of the South.
> There are at present two states i
e the South-South Carolina and Mis-
g sissippi-where the Negroes eXcee
+ the whites. In West Virginia, Al
{ kansas and Oklahoma the NegrOe
d had a higher rate of increase than tn
e whites. In Delaware and Virginl
r. there has been only a slight increase
o namely, 10 per cent. in each case. !

Mr.. w. Calvin Chase,
Editor, The Bee.
Dear Sir: [ want to thank you for
your editorial in the last number OF
The Bee, which l have just read, with
the title Inspiring Careers. Your
tribute to the Rev Dr. Francis J.
Grimle is a we'll deserved testimonial
to one of the outstanding forces for
righteousness in this community. /
have known Mr.. Grimke as a personal
friend for nearly a quarter of a cen
tury. For absolute integrity,
strenth and nobility of character,
moral stamina and genuine courage
OF. conviction on any question that
relates to the welfare of humanity
he sets an example that should be an
inspiration to all men.
I am writing this as a word of en-
courag gement'S believing that the set
ting forth of the character and worth
of such men before the youth of the
country must be favorable to the de-
veloDment of sound and noble life.
Very sincerely yours,
