THE TRoTTER TESTIMONIAL.

Many admirers Of w. Monroe Trot-
ter, the Editor and Publisher Of the
Guardian of Boston, Mass, are going
to give him a testimonial for his
services to his race. Editor Trot-
ter deserves this consideration. He
advocated the cause of the Negro,
when other editors were eating their
mess Of pottage," Mr.. Trotter has
made mistakes, but he Is a forceful
and fearless example of man with
honesty of purpose, who has sacrificed
wealth, position and honor, in his at
tempt to promote the best interests
of the race. We need such men as
Editor Trotter. Whatever else may
be said, he can always be called a
Champion of our Civic Rights.

SAFEGUARD TO COMMUNITY.

F !.
Southern Papers Tribute to Manassas
Colored Industrial School.
Under the caption mo Race Problem
Here" the Journal, an influential pa.
per published in Manassas, Va, says:
"The people Of this section have set
tied the race problem in a common
sense way-by not having any prob
lem to settle.
"The conflicts that have occurred
north, south, east and west between
the two races only interest us here in
an academic way. This is due to good
sense and conservatism and the abb
sence Of the professional or political
agitator. The man who would come
here to foment discord and make trou-
BILE would be discountenanced and
probably asked to leave town by lead
ing men Of both races.
perhaps the strongest influence
here among the colored people for
good citizenship Is the colored indus
trial school founded by the efforts of q
southern colored woman and aided In
its inception by southern white men.
This school lays down the fundamen.
tai principle that society has no place
for the loafer; that the world needs
more work Of the hands and less of
the tongue to make good citizens.
"Now financed almost wholly by
northern men, the policy of the school
remains unchanged, and teachers and
students 60 quietly about their own
business, always conducting them
selves with the propriety Of good citi-
Gems and never loafing or drinking or
gambling. In discipline and work the
school IS really model.
Native Virginians, many Of them
ex-Confederates. frequently visit the
school and always comment favorably
on the good order, industry and fine
sanitary conditions existing about both
farm and shops as well as the dormi-
tories. Young colored girls are taught
household work and the young men
farming and craftsmanship, and both
sexes are well taught. In addition they
are given a good English education.
"But, best of all, be it told to their
credit, no matter how large the at
tendance may be at any Of their public
meetings, neither town nor country has
ever found it necessary to appoint a
single extra policeman or deputy
sheriff, and nobody ever dreams of
peril Of either life or property in con-
sequence Of the presence of the school.
The school itself, conducted in the
manner in which it is, is safeguard
to both"

WHEREFORE UNIVERSITY
GETS BIG APPROPRIATION.
Professor Jolnsr's Efforts Double State
Aid For Noted School.

Wilberforce, O.-The seventy-ninth
assembly of the Ohio legislature which
recently adjourned was quite severe
upon most of the educational institu-
lions which usually receive financial
aid from the state. Wilberforce uni
versity was the only school whose ap-
preparation for 1911-12 was not cut be-
low that for the previous year. There
are twenty-six state institutions for
which the legislature was required to
make appropriations. Out Of the twen-
ty-six all but one suffered cuts in their
estimates for the next two years.
On taking charge in the fall Of 1910
Professor A. A. Joiner installed new
and improved system of accounts for
Wilberforce university and suggested a
change in the method Of submitting es-
Inmates for the appropriations with the
result that the appropriation for 1911
and 1912 almost doubles that obtained
for 1900 and 1910.
There are four educational institu-
lions In the state for which the legis-
lature appropriates. Wilberforce is
one of these institutions. The three
white colleges had their appropriations
more than cut In half, while the
amount asked for Wilberforce was al
lowed to the last cent.
The special appropriations amount to
$91, 220.09; the pro rata Of the general
levy due Wilberforce for the two years
will be $4e.5OO. This. added to the spe-
cial appropriations makes for WILDER
force $187, 72O.S9 for 1911 and 1912.
Some Of the notable increases are as
follows: The appropriation for 1910
was $1,000. for 1911, $4,000; appro-
priation for industries for 1910 was
$4,000, for 1911 it was $6.417.S5. but
probably the most important increase,
both as to amount and significance to
the plant at this time is the increase
in the amount obtained for repairs and
improvements which are badly needed
upon the buildings and grounds.
The appropriation for such purposes
for the two preceding years was $500;
the amount carried by the present ap-
propTlutlou LUZ SuCu PuipoSeS 10 PAc,
600, or just ten times the amount
which was available for the past two
years. Many of the buildings are much
in need of repair and much improve
ment on the grounds will be made pos
sible.
But the work has not all been done
on the outside. Every teacher who is
now receiving less than $75 per month
has been slated for an increase for
next year.

"In their earliest years American

Most Of our garments are revivals,
whether it is in the cut which harks
back to the time of the first empire or
in fabrics and decoration which are Of
all periods. Quaint indeed are some
Of the embroideries in cross stitch and
French knots applied in quaint angu-
lar designs that recall the old patterns
that our great-grandmothers' samplers
depict. Blouse fronts and evening
wraps, as well as household fancy
work, abound in these odd yet charm
ing effects, which are worked in care
fully harmonized colors.
This handsome evening wrap is most
suitable for wear with the brocades
that are now so popular. White broad
cloth is the material of the coat. At
the waist a broad banding Of French
knots and cross stitch is put on in the
form of conventionalized leaves and
flowers. Bands of cross stitching are
applied to the wide sleeves and the
square sailor collar cut low In the
back.

to be a child with the children; try to

their level literally, for within a few
minutes Of their arrival I am often on
the floor with them, playing ninepins
or hunt the slipper.
Sometimes It is a long time before
I can actually take the photograph, for
I never deliberately pose children. I
play with them, watching them all
the time, until I catch them In grace
full and characteristic attitudes; then
I squeeze the india rubber ball that

In direct contrast to the tub blouses
there are smart little blouses Of heavy
