The News has no desire to create impression
locally or in the outside world that dire and press
ing need exists in this prosperous city. But Am

number is augmented by transients.
In addition to these a great work is being ac-
oomplished with the Day Nursery. where approx

WEALTH NOT LOST

Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan, the great
American financier, stalking of the
money loss by the wrecking of the
Titanic to a Paris reporter, said: ooh,
some one pays. There is no such
thing as money losses in existence"
That is interesting, from so high an
authority. The intrinsic value of the

values that were sunk to the bottom
Of the sea cannot be recovered, but
the compensation will be made by
wealth out of~the sea in other forms,
such as fish for food, salt, pearls, and
tie like, but the recompensation can
not be got without the expenditure of
other values in cost Of machinery and
Of labor. The wealth is not lost, it is
true, but is Withdrawn from imm2-
diate availability for useful purposes.

ot such prospective candidates by
the leading universities of this
country.
MIR. Haynes is also director of
the National League on Urban con-
dltlons among Negroes, with head
quarters in this city. In prcpara-
ton For this large field of useful
ness MIR. Haynes can refer back to
a youth Of comparative poverty,
when 1t was necessary for him to
go to work after completing the
eighth grade in grammar school
amt continue for three years and
to spend two hours in the middle
OF the day and several hours each
night IN high school. Following this
preparation, he spent one year at
the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, Normal, Ata.; five years at
Fisk university, from which he re.
cclvcd thc b. A. degrees in 1903 :;
two years at Yale, from which he
received the y. NJ. degree in 1904.
From September, 1908, to June,
1908, MIR. Haynes was travelling
secretary of the international com
mlttcc OF the Young Mems Chris
tan Association and visited the
Negro educational institutions, and
many cities and rural districts of
the south. In this capacity he had
the opportunity to observe both
rural and urban conditions and to
compare the efforts made toward
lettering the conditions in each
section and to compare the results
achieved by such efforts. He gave
special attention to the concentra-
ton OF Negroes in cities and the
neglect OF many students of the oD-
portunlty to attack the problems
following thcrcfrom.
In studying at the New York
School Of Philanthropy in comec-
ton with his work at Columbia
university, he made an intensive
survey of the Negro at work in cit
les with special application to New
York City, with the result that his
mind was fired with inspiration
and the desire to. work out plans
FOR ameliorating the conditions
which have followed invariably the
concentration and subsequent seq
regatlon Of Negroes in cities.
The National League on Urban
Conditions Among Negroes is the
consequence of this zeal and the
achievements of the league are due
IN a large mcausrc to his planning
and enthusiasm. DR.. Haynes is a
type OF the younger generation Of
the Negroes. lie Is just thirty-two
years of age and belongs to that en-
thuSlaStlc number of young leaders
