ORpHANAGE WORK IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

To the Editor: Perhaps no i%nstitu-
ton appeals more directly to the hui
man heart, when it is properly under
stood. than an Orphanage. 1t is. as its
name implies, the home Of h father
less and homeless. and its existence
dates quite far back into the last cen
fury in our State.
Perhaps the most noted
House in the world was established
by that great philanthropist, George
Muller, a native of Germany. who
studied divinity at Halle. but removed
to London, England, in 1929. In 1885
Muller established at Bristol. Eng
land. the first orphan house (to be
supported entirely by unsolicited con-
tributions) that we nave any record
of. In 1856 this home had 291 chill
dren and had received in the twenty
years Of its existence over four nun
dred and eight thousand dollars with
out soliciting a dollar from any one
the none came as a free-Wil offer
ing.
In 1875 it contained 1000 children,
and it has always been supported
without asking. and the money mas
! come from all over the world IN an
swer to prayer.
The first Orphanage in our state. SO
far as We know. established on pres
ent plans of orphanage work. was the
Masonic o~rphanage at Oxford. \. {.
This was the ~outgroWth Of a tuna
raised and invested by the Masonic
order for the purpose OF establishing
a school for the children Of Masons
who were unable to give their emil
dren. good school adVantages- AS a
school only. this vas a failure; ano
the Great big heart and brain Of Jack
Mills conceived the idea Of turning II
into an ~orphanage for fatherless nj
dren. and he undertook to 90 the
work. We we'll remember when it be

the early days of his administration.
The success of Oxford O~rphanage has
become a matter of history. and at its
beginning the skeptical said: Why.
where Will YOU get the children ?
Mothers Will not give UP their chill
dren."
The falsity of this idea was quickly
established. Dur Baptist brethren
were the next to take up orphanage
work as a church and Jack Mills was
the ~nlainspring of that idea. Other
churches followed, and lodges other
than the MasOns also came into line:
SO that now every denomination and
the leading lodges Of the State have
orphan homes for fatherIess children.
The Presbyterian Orphanage at Ba-
rum Springs had a very small begin
ming in Charlotte in 1889. numbering
IS children. After a struggling life
there. the removal to Barium Springs
occurred January IL, 1891. and the
home was placed under the very ETH
cient management Of Rev. X. W.

THE GREATEST EDUCATIONAL NEED
More Well Trained Teachers for the Public Schools and How
to Get Them
to Get Them

any one who is TO teach successfully
must have received special profess
slonal training. No one would ex-
rect a man of liberal education TO
make a goo lawyer without add
ton preparation, nor a doctor with
out training in a medical school. Nor
more can we expect to provide the
State with good teachers without
training IN preparation for the pro-
fession Of teaching. A teacher must
know her subject as the means TO be
employed in the normal mental de-
Yetopment Of children. She must
study child life, if she is to be sue
cessful in adapting school subjects to
the minds OF children. She must
nave practice in the art Of teaching,
as well as acquaintance with re his
tory of education, and the best mod.
ern educational practice. A training
school for teachers without a practice
school is as great an anomaly as a
medical school without "a hospital.
II the State is to have We'll trained
children, it can never be satisfied with
the preliminary training acquired in
a teachers training school. The
success and continued gowth Of teach
ers n We had adequate prelimin-
airy training depends ia large mea-
sure upon the quality of supervision
which they receive after they so to
"OIk. me need all over our cOuf-
try today is for men and women VINO
can adequately stimulate teachers
through criticism and suggestion, who
Will secure the maximum Of growth
and of efficiency on the part of those
who are usually anxious to render
the greatest possible service to the
community. In all of our states We
need TO provide special training for
superintendent and principals of
cobnQlc I'm Inc, thnco mon = 70 fro in
ed much that has been done for teach
ers in preparation for their work Will
be lost to the State. because of lack
of appreciation or even positive dis
couragement melted out to teachers
by those in authority.
IN anv community the demand for
training on the part of those who are
to render social service must always
be accompanied by adequate pro-
vision for remuneration. We have
no right to demand years Of special
training unless we are willing to
promise a return in salary which viii
at least enable the teacher to live a
life devoted to the profession which
she has entered. Provision for a
minimum length of term and d mini
mum salary which will be q living
salary for the kind Of man or woman
that We would chOoSe to have aSsO-
clated with our children are just as
essential as is provision for training.
We can never demand adequate prepa-
ration on the part Of principals and
supefintendents until we are willing
to give a salary sufficient to justify
the special professional equipment
which we should demand Of these Off
Gals.
The greatest need in North Carolina
the greatest need in every State, is
for more W~ell-trained teachers. When
we become conscious Of the signifi-
canoe of public education in Ou1
democracy, there Will be no State
that Will fail to. provide adequate
training and sufficient remuneration
to those who devote their lives to the
common good.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 81, 1911.
Overlooking the People.

There are scores of big-hearted
men and women in this city who are
cogniZant of the needs Of the people,
and there is constantly being organ
lied associations for the alienation of
the sufferings of the unfortunate and
the protection of the weak, but in
their great desire to do something for
humanity there is possibility that too
many will be launched at once.
We can call to mind a half dozen
movements that have been started in
this city by individuals. All of them
are in the main striving 10 do the
same thing. In that respect We are
liable to oveTburden the people and
may destroy an opportunity to do
great good.
At every turn evidences of suffer
ing among the people and neglect of
children are apparent, and we are
moved out OF sympathy TO do some
thing for the unfortunate ones, but We
should reflect long enough to get
our wits together, that We may decide
upon the best course to pursue that
the greatest number may be benefited
by our efforts. Negroes are poor
as a rule; the majority of them
barely make enough to take care OF
themselves, and they cannot support
too many benevolent institutions
They have first their churches to sup
port and then their lodges, and they
are legion, and with these institutions
to keep up they can not be expected
to have very much to give to other be
nevolent institutions So it would be
a better plan to not start too many
charitable affairs, but make a few
worth while

ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK STOCK
GOES UP,

For the first time in the history of
a Negro banking institution in Ten
nessee a premium of $1.25 per share
will be placed on all of the unsub-
scribed capital stock of one of the To-
cal banks of the city. This action was
taken by the directors in their regu-
lar monthly meeting which was held
in the directors room of the One
Cent Savings Bank, Monday night,
January %. 1t will be remembered
that this recommendation was made
by President Boyd in his annual ad-
dress to the stockholders early in the
month in which he showed that
working capital of less than five thou
sand dollars had earned surplus with
Il undivided profit nearly equal TO that
of the capital This order of 20 per
cent premium on the dollar or $1.25
on each $500 share is said to be eff
lectlve at once upon all who desire to-
purchase new stock, and who are not
already stockholders in the bank.
The directors agreed that all stock
holders would be allowed to double
their holdings.
One of the other business transac-
tons of the directors was the creating
of the Office of a second Vice Presi-
dent and the selecting of Mr. j. W..
Grant to serve in such capacity. The
directors also elected Mr.. G. N. Langs-
ton as Assistant Cashier, while the
President named an Auditing Commit
tee consisting of w. S. Thompson, L..
Ianders and c. V. Roman. A COM
mittee of three consisting of the Pres
ident, Cashier and the Chairman Of
the Executive Committee was appoint
ed to investigate and report on plans
for the installing of fire-proof vault
with time lock safe. A meeting OF
the stockholders to make further ar
rangements for the success of the
bank will be held early in February.

tive in the United States, and these
stories of his most interesting cases
are told in his own words. The first
of these, How Abe Ruef Confessed"
is a story of the famous San Francisco
Reporter" by Hugo Munsterberg, deals
with the methods of the newspaper re
porters. Prof, Munsterberg as noted
psychologist is considered good copy"
and his account of the sensational dis
tortionS and the faxed interviews
which the newspapers have printed
about his work is an especially inter
esting example of the inaccuracy and
the exaggerations of the press. The
article on Women Laundry Workers,
by Edith Wyatt and Sue Ainslie Clark,
is composed of the reports of Miss
Garcia Woerishofer, Miss Elizabeth
Howard WestwOod and Miss Mary
Alden Hopkins who have made a thor
ough Investigation OF the conditions
existing in the commercial, hotel and
hospital laundries in New York. Bur
ton I. Hendricks second article on
THE Mormon Revival of Polygamy'
gives many instances of polygamOus
marriages that have taken place since
the manifesto was issued, and proves
positively that plural marriages are
now the rule among the Mormons. and
that they are sanctioned by the Nor
mon Church. Critical Moments with
Wild Animals by Ellen Velvin, in
this number of McClures, is an inter
esting account of the training of wild
animals for circus and animal shows.
The special fiction feature in the Feb
ruary number is "Innocencio," by Rex
Beach, a dramatic adventure story of
the Caribbean Sea, one of the strong
est pieces of writing that Mr.. Beach
has yet done. Among the other sto-
ries are "Trixie," by Frances Ludwig;
The Rug of her Fathers" story of
a little Syrian girl, by Lucille Baldwin
Van Slyke; "The Adventure in the
Stricken City," by Perceval Gibbon;
and the third instalment of Mrs. Hum

Bishop Grant.
worth while,

In the death of Bishop Abraham
Grant the African Methodist Episco-
pal Church loses a strong man from
the bench of bishops and the race
loses a champion who never tired.
He was man of sterling worth to his
church, having risen from the hum
blest position to one OF the highest
honor and dignity the Connection
could bestow upon him.
Bishop Grant was tireless worker,
and was ever on the alert that the
cause of his race might not lag. He
was courageous but amiable, positive
but kind. A hero for the cause Of
Christianity.

League, advise that the race should
not await the expected action of Con-
gress, and suggest instead of the large
central exposition as first planned,
that the celebration should take the
following form
2. That the third week in October,
1913, be set aside for the celebration,
and be known as Fiftieth anniversary
Week.
3. That instead of Central Exposi-
ton, the Schools, Churches and all
other Societies and organizations ins
each community unite and cooperate
for the purpose of holding local
celebration; this celebration to take
the form of an exposition of the prog
ress in commercial, professional, mo-
raj, intellectual and religious direc-
lions made by the race in that COM
munity
4. We suggest that where it is pos
sible these expositions be held in con-
nection with existing county or state
fair organizations; it will not be nee
essary to change the regular date for
holding such county, or state fair.
g.. Wherever it seems feasible, the
county or the state should be made
the unit of organization for the cele
bration instead of the local commune
ty.
6. We advise that especial effort be
made to secure in addition to the ply
steal exposition, program of appro-
! pirate speeches and other literary
features; the speakers to be as far as
possible the strongest and best men
that can be obtained, North and South.
Z. We advise that wherever posi-
county or state aid to carry out the
| plans of the local committee. a
8. We suggest that in case money
is secured from Congress, it be appor-
toned among the states, to be eX
pended under the control of the gov
ernor, or some other state authority,
in proportion to the number of co..
ored people residing in the different
commonwealth.
g. We believe that the plans here
outlined have several advantages over
the plans previously proposed; (a)
First, 1t makes it possible to put the
whole race to work in planning and
preparing for the exposition and cele-
bration suggested. (b) 1t will enable
more I@ople to see the progress the
Negro has made, than would be pos
sible if they had to travel many miles
to some Central Exposition.
10. In conclusion, we strongly urge
that our people begin now to plan and
prepare for Fiftieth Anniversary
Week, and that this be made at once
means and an occasion for calling
attention of the world to the immense
progress the Negro race in America
has made during fifty years of free
dom.
1t is the earnest hope and desire Of
the Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Negro Business League that the
above suggestions shall be read before
the various churches, lodges and other
organizations, to the end that the Fiji
tieth Anniversary Week of Freedom
shall be generally observed every
where.

who are getting their existence from

Our Republican Governor.

On Wednesday of this week the
citizens of Tennessee witnessed the
Inauguration of the first Republican
governor this suate has had in thirty
years. The gentleman so honored
was Hon. Ben w. Hooper, OF New
port The Inauguration was unusual
in that the established custom of hold
ing the exercises in the capitol was de-
parted from. and the public auditori-
UNI was used instead.
The election of Gov Hooper came
about through disruption in the DEM
ocratic party, of which the peopls
know well. But now the election is
over and ii VIII be wisdom on the
part of every citizen to set his heart
on The development of our great
state. Every difference that existed
shodld be put aside now and let us
have peace. Let us concede that ev-
cry man louSHI loI Nnal ne OC4l0' ""
to be right, and not hold malice
against any for contending for what
they believed to be right.
All Tennesseans should work as
hard under Republican governor for
the uplift of all the people and for
tho nromotion of every worthy cause
as they would if the man of their
choice should have been chosen.
