When the Turner Art Exhibit closed
at the Carnegie Library this week,
where they have been exhibiting
rare collection of high-cass paintings
and nice pictures, it was estimated
that about four thousand Negro chill

vile went on record as being able
to provide for those who had no one
to provide for them The spirit of
sweet charity filled the atmosphere,
so much so that organized commit
tees and solicitors from the twelve
public schools with their entire fac
ulty from the primary teacher up to
the principal, made a whirlwind cam
paign i'll the interest of the unfortu-
nate little ones who had no one to
carry them to see the art pictures.
The result was that every Negro
child in the city schools was provided
with a ticket, which enabled them
to see the great Turner Art
Exhibit. 1t was stated Tuesday
that the solicitors succeeded in get
ing money enough to carry one thou

in the twelve schools was about four

these twelve schools, DIR. ]. P. Craw.
ford; the principal of the high school,
DR.. F. G. Smith, and the principals and
teachers of all the schools in the city
were unanimous in their opinion that
not child had been overlooked neg
lected or left ut home. They visited
the Carnegie Library by classes, and
1t is said that their department was
superb and that they took much in
terest III studying the pictures and
picking out the fine pieces of art
work. In the report or the various
committees it was noticed that some
OF the business firms of the city had
been extremely liberal in contrib
uting. One firm is reported to have
contributed enough to send 80 chill
dren to the exhibit The adults were
also much in evidence throughout the
time allotted. There was some talk
of extending the time, but the request
came too late to get the news out to
the people.

ROGER WILLIAMS SHUTS OUT
MERARRY NEEDS.

Roger Williams hard aggregation
of ball tossers met the Meharry Medi-
cal College bunch on the formers
diamond and shut them out by a
score of to 0. Conscious of the
great record made by the Roger boys
last year, the Meharryites came out
upon the field feeling that their doom
was fixed and verify it was. Mehar-
ry shone brilliantly in spots, but the
heavy seige of the purple and white
blighted their hopes and there was
nothing doing. The game is not to
be regarded particularly as a champ
ionship game, for Meharry claims
not to be in any playing form mas
much as they did not have uniforms
and yet their intents were just as
full Of fervor as pennant winners.
Buford for Roger Williams pitched
great ball; he gave beautiful ex-
hibition of few OF the many tricks
he has stored away in his heaving
wing. Captain Branham followed
with his usual first-class article OF
pitching ability. In short, Roger
Williams showed ability in offense as
well as defence. Atwood for Mehar-
ry pitched steady game, but his
teammates were unable ito connekt
with Buford's in-shoots. Roger will
meet Walden Saturday, March 23rd,
at Walden for the first real champ
ionship game of the season.

The club is now buying home, As

alleviate some of the conditions of
poor old women, struggling working
girls, many of whom come to the city
seeking work and find no suitable
place to stay until work can be had,
and dependent children. This is the
beginning of work that is destined
to grow until the unfortunate and suf-
fering people are lifted to a higher
plane. The club paid 5000 cash on
the property and is meeting pay
ments of SIS monthly. Assurance is
given that the East Nashville Dramat-
ic Club will take up the next note.
Several clubs have sent greetings to
the Phyllis Wheatley and say that
their clubs will aid in paying for the
home. One club has agreed 20 take
up two notes. Effort is being put
forth to rally all forces and pay for
the home as quickly as possible, SO as
to open for work.
The Phyllis Wheatley Club is right
ly styled the pioneer Cub, as it has
worked faithfully for more than fif-
teen years trying to help in every way
possible the poor and unfortunate. At
the time of its organization it was
the only club of its kind and for many
years thereafter.
The next meeting will be held
Thursday, March %, at O'Clock at
the residence of Mrs. Cage Cannon,
on Woods street, near Ewing avenue.

CITN

SlTY.
Miss A. L. T. Waytes, ex-pastor of
the Shiloh Baptist Church. Of West
Medford, Mass, and Bible student of
the Moody Bible Institute, addressed
the Y. w. c. A. of Fisk University
Sunday morning at 8 a. m. There was
a large number of young women pres
ent to greet the speaker and several
teachers. Among them were Mrs.
Gates and the Matron The subject
discussed was THE sufficiency of the
Gospel to meet the wants of man."
Miss Waytes spoke on the following
outlines: 0D The Kingdom Of God is
not in mere eating and drinking.
(2) Does the religion of the Lord
Jesus pay, and does it satisfy the long
ing of the soul? Said the speaker:
Christ was first presented as the
Son of man; second as the Son of
God; third, as the Savior of the
world. Many of the divine realities
were discussed in minute detail"
The speaker fully convinced all that
it was impossible to please Col with
out real service and to enjoy fife was
to have Christ as the supreme ruler
of the soul. She also addressed the
students Of Roger Williams Univer-
sity on the leading topics of the day.

FARMER BOYS
HOLD MEETING
GATHERING AT NOR
NAL WITH MIR. CARR.
Purpose to Organize a Corn Club
There from All Parts of County
Meet Again Saturday.

About twenty boys from all parts
OF Davidson County, ranging In ages
from IL to 16, met with Mr.. Ben Carr,
Superintendent of Industries of State
Normal School, for the purpose of
organizing a Boys Corn Club. The
meeting was held last Saturday morn
ing on the school, campus. The bows
were full of enthusiasm and are eager
to perfect their organization, which
Mr. Carr plans to do Saturday morn
ing, March 23d The object of this
club is to teach the boys industry and
how to get the fullest benefit of the
soil. 1t will be remembered that a
convention of boys was held at the
State Capitol last year and their ex-
hibit Of corn has been the talk of the
state ever since. Mr.. Carr has con-
ceived the idea that it would be a
grand thing to encourage the Negro
boys of Davidson County and Tennes-
see to engage in this work. AS a re-
suit he has enlisted the aid of Capt.
Peck, superintendent of the Agricul-
tural Department of the State, and
County Superintendent of Education.
They Willingly agreed to aid in what
ever way that they could in making
the club success. The Negro men
of Davidson County will also be asked
to aid these boys in the effort to make
good citizens and Industrious farm
ers.
The plans have not been fully out
lined as yet, but on next Saturday
morning an address will be issued to
the public calling upon the boys to
make the organization a success. One
boy was present at the meeting who
said he had billy goat and he guar
anted Mr.. Carr that he would cult
vate one acre of land with his goat
and would bring as fine corn to the
exhibit as any boy in the county. He
was in earnest and is determined to
show what boy and a goat can do.
Mr.. Carr hopes to be able to help
the boys in some way and If he can
do so it is thought he will allot to
few small plot of land on the school
farm. He is of the opinion that this
would encourage other boys to great
er endeavorIand that much can be ac-
complished in that way. At the meet
ing Saturday morning it is expected
that a larger number of boys will be
present and also number of citizens
to help plan the organization and
start it off in good condition.

The address of Mr.. A. B. Meredith
was thought provoking. In part he
said: eve need, as teachers and COM
munities, to realize that changed con
d~itions, socially ana economically, de-
mand a radical change in our school
curriculums. To meet this need we
must seek a simpler course of studies,
getting at the elemental things and
adapting them to the elementary
character of childhood. We should also
exercise the most careful Judgment in
adapting this course of study to given
localities; adapt each subject to the
present and practical needs of our
civilization. In order to accomplish
this, teachers must read and study.
The State Board has sent out urgent
recommendations to each of the School
Boards of New Jersey to pay the ex-
penses of at least one teacher to at
tend the Summer School at Cape May
and bring knowledge of the latest
methods in Industrial and Vocational
Education.
1.-The Making of a Teacher" was
Mr.. Enrigbt's subject. He said, "Be-
sides the training of high school and
training or normal schools, there are
other elements of training which make
the teacher. He noted the effect of

educational classics. Book knowledge
is good, but it alone does not make a
teacher. Emerson says, THE use of a
book is to inspire How can l tel
what book will INSPIRE you7 You must
decide. Nature study is a great asset
to the teacher. Lastly, the teacher is
made by the children and the communi-
ty in which she teaches. This is what
we mean by experience
Miss Elizabeth Allen gave some facts
regarding the money of the Teachers
Retirement Fund. Since its orgauiza-
ton, $4,000, 900 in all has accumulated;
over one half a million has been dis
tributed in annuities; 1928. 900 has
been invested; about $4,000 a year has
been paid to Monmouth County teach
ers.
In the afternoon, the first address
was by DR.. George a. MERCK, assistant
commissioner Of education. DR.. Mer-
lex treated the teaching of arithmetic
under the following heads: l, mechan-
zeal quality; 2, diagrams; 3, cxplana-
ton, 5000, goo in all has accumulated;
He urged greater accuracy and espec-
tally closer attention in the lower
grades to the formation Of right habits
in clearness of mathematical thought.
The election of officers and general
business followed: Miss Allen and
Supt. Enright presented a plan for a
county organization of the Teachers
Retirement Fund. This was effected in
short order. Miss Sarah Stanger of
Red Bank was elected president.
The officers of the ensuing year for
the association were elected as follows:
President, A.. b. Dick; vice-president,
w. A. Miller; secretary, A. Robinson;
treasurer, Miss Barnard.

Keyport, May 13:-Fire was dis
covered yesterday morning in a
wardrobe in the sleeping apart
ments of the family of x. Kutrum-
hos, who is the owner of the Sugar
Bowl Candy Company in Front
street. The alarm was sounded
about . o'clock. bringing out the
entire department. The Chemical
Engine Company, whose quarters
are a short distance away, was the
first to respond and they quickly
got the fire under control, combining
it to the one room, which was badly
damaged.
The cause of the blaze could not
be learned. No water was turned
in the building. which was fortunate
as the soda fixtures and a large
stock of candy were in the store i'm
mediately below. The building,
which was erected two years ago, is
owned by John G. S%Chanck, of Main
