sunday.schooI Movements.

On the 7th of this month the Sun
day-School Congress, composed of
Sunday-school workers of the Negro
Baptist denomination, convened in
Meridian, Miss, in their annual ses-
sion. On the 10th of this month the
Baraca Convention of Sunday-school
workers, an organization of white
people of all denominations will
convene in Kansas City, Kans.
Both of these conventions have mot
toes that in the final analysis stand
for the elevation of mankind. The Ba-
raoa Convention people say they want
a million saved for Christ; the Sun
dcy-School Congress people also say
in their motto that they are working
for the uplift of humanity. The
question often arises, why do the Ne
gro Baptists feel called upon to go of
to themselves and organize a separate

ton We find that while many of the
great movements in our country
start out with the aim to save souls
for Christ, when the time comes fol
these great meetings to be held.
that spirit We call race prejudice
crops out so often that the Negro
feels that if he is to be saved it viii
be necessary for him to go off to him
self, and set up under his own vine
and fig tree.
Some of the Negro publishers O

out to them the best way to get along
through this world? This suggestion
is made because of the danger that
turks about these dance halls and
because we believe it is wrong to
take a class of young people from
the graduating room to the ball room.
Another feature of our public
school work that should receive the
attention Of the parents and those in
terested in the education of the
young, is the arge number who re-
cefved diplomas from the grammar
department this year. Ninety-cight
boys and girls were given these di-
plomas. They live in every part of
the city and nave been compelled to
go to one building to proceed with
their studies, namely, Pearl High
School building. 1t must be admit
ted that these children had courage
and a determination to do or die, for
1t is a great hardship on the children
to walk from the extreme portions of
East Nashville and the extreme por-
tons of North and West Nashville
to Pearl High School for five days
i'm a week. Many of the parents of
these children, in fact, a large major
ity of them, are w-age-earners and
are not able to spend so cents a week
for one child's car fare; it is a
struggle to get books and clothes.
Again, it is due the Negro children of
Nashville that more grammar schools
be established for their convenience.
The parents of these children should
petition to the Board of Education
to provide at least two more gram
maj schools for Negro children, one
in East Nashville and one in North
west Nashville. This would relieve
the congestion in the high school
and at the same time accommodate
the children in these far-off sections.
The argument often brought up
that Negroes do not pay as much
taxes as white people for the main
tenance of public schools is no ar
gument at all. Taxes are collected
for privileges enjoyed, and a public
fund is as much for the Negro boy as
it is for the Irish, or the Italian, or
the German or what not. The Negro
boy whose parents own nothing ex-
cept what they have under the roof
of the house they rent is entitled to
the same consideration as the boy
whose parents own great holdings and
pay into the public treasury in pro-
portion to their wealth.
We have a splendid public school
system in Nashville, but we do not
think the black boy is getting a fair
deal, and if the parents would re
quest it, better facilities for the Ne
gro children could be had.

Baraca Conventions They made it
plain that it vas the intention of the
Baraca people to have an exclusive
white mans religion. 1t was the de-
sire of item that no Negroes present
themselves at their meeting. If you
can save your souls by buying the
button and wearing it ct home, all
right; but if you must come up with
the white folks, We prefer that you
go to the devil or wherever you
may go, is the impression of the Ba-
people We suppose, and ii Holy
Writ IS true, it will be so that in the
great reckoning day all must be
equal, and as there will be no giving
in marriage in the great beyond, we
presume that the white man will
then be able to lay aside his race
prejudice, but all the missionary
movements in this world and all the
movements taken toward universal
peace have thus far fallen short of
bringing that peace.

TO THE
FRAY, JUNE 9, 1911.
Our Public Schools.

On Monday morning of this week
thirty young people learned that they
had met the requirements of the
Board of Education and were emit
led to graduation. 1t will be noticed
from reading the roll that there
are ten boys and twenty girls in the
class of 1911. The number of boys es-
pecially attracts attention, in view of
the fact that in other classes the
girls have outnumbered them five to
one. In only one instance, as far as
can be learned, have the boys out
numbered the girls, and that was in
1910. 1t is an encouraging sign to
see the boys hold on to the end in
their public school education, for 1T
must be remembered that without men
there will be no race, also the boy
who has not the courage to finish a
high school education may not be ex
pected to accomplish much in the
world. The commencement this
year promises to be interesting in
many ways. A sad feature, however,
will be the absence of Prof. Smith,
who was forced to relinquish his la.
bors a few weeks ago and submit to
an operation. He will miss the COM
mencement exercises this year for
the first time during his connection
with the high school as principal.
1t is said that the usual banquet
will be given after commencement,
i'm which the graduates and their
friends together with the members
of the faculty of the high school, will
participate. 1t has been the custom
to celebrate this occasion with a
banquet and dance, and the question
i'm the minds of many is whether or not
this is the best thing to do. There are
those who argue that dancing is ele-
waiting and that all intelligent people
dance, and that they are not affected
thereby, but those who favor it, or
rather those who approve of a high
school class being launched out into
the world from q ball room floor, have
never been able to point to one sin
gle instance in which a graduate has
been able to make a living by dan
cling. They cannot point to a single
instance wherein a high school grad
uate has been benefited or lifted to
a higher plain of intelligence by en-.
gaging in these dances, but on the
other hand, it is a fact undeniable
that dancing has been the undoing
of many a girl and boy who had the
brightest prospect of a life of great
usefulness. In view of this fact
does it not stand for a that
it would be better and wiser for the
graduates who receive their diplomas
at the Ryman Auditorium on the
night of the 18th to quietly repair tc
their homes and sit down with their
parents and spend a few minutes in
meditation over what has been
achieved and to thank their God thai
he has blessed them thus far? If Q
banquet must be held, no one coulC
hardly object to it, would it not he
a better plan to dispense with the
dancing and instead have some mar
or woman of experience to give Il
the graduating class the benefit O
their knowledge in life and to poinr

BREAD is THE STAFF or LIFE"
Bread is the staff of life. 1t has
been so flom time immemorial. The
Nashville Bread Co. certainly has
the most complete "staff of life" out
fit that we have ever seen. A visit
to their bakery opposite Cummins
Station would be a revelation to the
uninitiated. On entering this estab-
lishment n is struck by the inn
mensity of the affair, everything be-
ing done on a big scale. Nothing
small is attempted. The capacity
is $4,000 loaves per day.
The machinery for sitting the -four
Is on the second floor, where barrel
after barrel is emptied into a vast
receptacle which thoroughly sits and
passes the flour to the mixing ma
chine, which is located on the floor
underneath. After the dough is suf-
ficiently MIXED and kneaded it is
placed in a huge trough, where it
rises. The next step is the molding
machine which makes the loayes into
required shapes. Tie bread then
goes into proof boxes where it rises
the second time, after which it is
baked in large steam-heated ovens,
from hence it ome forth savory and
inviting. Butter Krust' bread is a
product of the bakery and will be
favorably known as the Butter Krust.
The plant is run by electric power
everything being strictly modern.
The sanitary arrangements are all
that the most particular housewife
could ask. Cleanliness is next to
Goodness" and it is also the motto
of the firm. Great is the Nashville
Bread Company, wholesome and in
wiling is it's bread that is made with
milk.

LIFE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE

No question of more Importance
confronts the sensible, thrifty man or
woman than that of the safety and
sure protection of his income. There
are millions of men who are depend
ent entirely for the support of
themselves and their families upon
their daily earnings. Inability
through any cause to follow his regu-
lar vocation, therefore, entails GER
tain hardships and possible privation
upon not only the wage Garner him
SELF, but also upon those dependent
upon him. If he is a prudent man,
he follows the example of other pru-
oent men and assures himself an in
come in time of disability through
the medium of an accident and
healthy policy. The experience of
any individual in matters not con-
nected with his daily walk in life
is necessarily limited. When a mat
ter of Importance involving things of
which he has no personal knowledge
is to be determined, he must form
his Judgment and base his conclusion
on the experience of others. The
p~rimordian motive underlying an APP
plication for an insurance policy is
the desire to secure indemnity in case
Of loss.
The question is not, What it will
cost to insure, but what it will cost
not to insure" The cost of the in
surance is something every able
bodied man, having employment, can
raise, and it should not be regarded as
a cost or expense at all, but as a
DEPOSIT FOR FUTURE CONTINGENCIES.
The cost Of not insuring is trouble of
mind because of constant conscious
ness that the family is not protected
against such contingencies, and its
consignment to possible misery and
humiliation when they occur.
On what day this year are you
most likely to be disabled by sickness
or injury? If you cannot decide on
one particular day, cover them all
with a policy in the Life and Casual
ty.
A Casualty policy will make good
to you the money loss sustained be-
cause of accident or illness. Prompt
payment of premiums provides posi-
tive protection.
If it is necessary for you to work
that you may have a weekly income,
is it not more necessary that you
carry a Casualty policy that you may
have an income when sick or crippled
and disabled from work.
