hundreds of graduates every year.
What are we going to do for those
graduates! Where are they 90

graduate to be educated bell bows
and walters? What shall we do
with our boys and girls? Every
avenue of business IS closed
against them. The trades prohibit
them entering with the Journey

society craze has taken a strong

CONGRLSSMAN TAYLOR
AND ASSOCIATES MAKE WINNING
FIGHT FOR FAIR APPROPRIATION
FOR THE COLORED SCHOOLS.

The House District appropria-
ton bill reported out and passed,
carries S152.000 more for the col
ored schools than originally esti-
mated for. making the total ap-
preparation for sites, buildings
and repairs for colored schools of
the District total S273,500, as
against $121, 800 recommended in
the estimates of the Commission
ers. The credit for this splendid
help for the colored schools Is
largely due to Congressman +. L.
TAYLOR, of Ohio, who insisted that
the colored schools must have 33
per cent of the total, and who or
dered that the Commissioners and
Board of Education revise their
estimates as first submitted. Mr.
TavlOr was insiStent that the col
Ored schools must have an apprO-
priatiOn commensurate with the
school enrolment. and would not
accept anything less. He made
the same fight last year, and sue
ceeded. As the appropriation
now stands it appropriates among
other things 100000 for a new
site for NJ Street High School,
$4,000 for a new normal build
ing, $4,000 for a new building
at DpanwOod. and $4,000 for a
new building on Military Road.
and $4,000 for a new building
for Armstrong. There are other
appropriations which bring the
total for sites and buildings and
repairs up to S273,OOO, or $4,000
more than estimated for. The
original estimate only called for
Is per cent of the total. Mr..
Taylor was ably seconded in his
fight by Congressman Gardner
and others.

Grand Master of the Grand United
Order of Odd Fellows, has called on
President Taft and pledged 20 him and
his administration the hearty support

President Taft must have been sur

Booker Washington-A Colored Phi
lanthropist's Strenuous Work
From the Irish Week1v.l

(FTOm the irish Weekly.)
The visit of Booker T. Washington,
the well-known colored philanthropist,
to the Continent and England this
year, drew attention to his life and his
magnificent work for his black-skinned
brethren. 1t was most interesting,
says a writer in Great Thoughts to
hear from his own lips a description
of those pathetic days before slavery
was abolished, and Of his own dark
childhood He described TO me the
little log hut, about twelve feet long,
in Virginia, where he was born about
the year 1858 1t had no windows and
no boards covered the earthen floor
I'm our part of Virginia, said Dr.
Washington. there was no very great
cruelty. After the slaves had been
brought up, they were sold and sent to
the far South; and it used 70 be said,
Of course, that the more Obstreperous
ones were sold, and the better behaved
were kept There was a much closer
relation between the slaves ami the
white people than in the far South,
where they were more under the con-
troll OF oveTseers. Wherever the
slaves were directly under the control
and guidance of the master, there was
a better condition of things Taking
Virginia as a whole, there were not
the harsh conditions that existed in
other parts of the South, 1 TeCollect

The following clipping was taken
from the Ashevile Citizen of few
days ago: "Mr. Hobart, of Florida,
champion tennis player # the United
States, and Mr.. Racey, also of Florida,
played very interesting game of ten
MS Yesterday afternoon at the Country
club. The result was two sets out of
three in favor Of Mr.. Racey; 6-3, 4-6,
6.3." 1t is needless to say that the
friends of Mr., Racey were not surprised
at that score, knowing the ability of
the young man when tennis is on. 1t
is also well known fact that this same
Mr. Racey will be heard from the COM
ing winter when he has the racquet and
ball for daily diet on the court at Palm
Beach. Be it known to all persons in
terested that in the late friendly con-
test Mr.. Hobart had been taking three
hour practice daily, while Mr. Racey
bad had no such opportunity, therefore
it stands to reason that Mr.. Racey will
be heard from next season when he as
sumes the regular routine that will
place him on basis with those that
wish to win but cannot. 1t is surely
pity that Mr. Racey could not have at
tended the National contest which has
just taken place in Rhode Island.
