ADVANTAGES OFFERED Al
THE DOWNINGTOWN SCHOOL
Wisdom of Founders Seen In Oppor-
tunity For Self Help.

The dream of a large agriculture
and industrial school in the north for
Afro-A Americans as the result of the am
bilious and untiring labors of the Rev.
William A. Credit. LII. D., of Phila-
delphia is about to be realized in the
growth of the Downingtown Pa) Agri'
cultural and Industrial school. The
necessity for such a school has long
been felt by the leaders in educational
and religious work.
Perhaps no state north of the Ma
son and Dixon line affords such op-
portunities to the race for agricultural
pursuit as does Pennsylvania at the
present time. Hence one sees the wis.
dom of the founder and promoters Of
the Downingtown school in starting
it at a very opportune time and locat-
ing it in Il splendid farming section.
For several years the number of farms
in the state has been on the decrease,
not because farming was not profit
able, but rather because the population
seemed averse to it.
The Downingtown school is yet in
its infancy, but during the few years
of its existence it has demonstrated its
right to live. With the 1928 school
year barely two months old the insti-
tuition is crowded with students who
are anxious to learn. They are not
only anxious to gain a literary educa
ton. but take pleasure in the fact that
they may also learn n trade. the kind
by which to earn living by becoming
owners of land and producers of many
of the things upon which they must
SubSiSt
Nothing in recent years has so open
ed the eyes of the colored people of
the state to the vast opportunity be-
fore them TO become landowners and
thrifty agriculturiSts as the first farm
ers' conference held at Downingtown
last August. At this meeting DR.. Cred
lit and those associated with him laid
before the people the crowded condi-
tions of city life and showed the bene
fits to be derived by our people If more
of them would settle in the rural dis
trictS of the state where they could
make n comfortable living and soon be-
come their own landlords.
This is one of the great aims of the
Downingtown school, because in order
to run a farm in the north success
fully one must know how intensive
farming has become science, and
those who know how to select seed.
soil and season and apply the same To
advantage should be trained. The
Downingtown school offers such train
ing. Its possibilities are large. and its
future is bright and budding with hope
for the literary and material uplift OF
the race.

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-11-16

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and
Hair treatment is based on the lat
est scientific and sanitary methods,
effecting healthy scalp thus promot-
ing growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in con-
nection with the treatment are made
and sold exclusively by myself, having
the exclusive right to that name; and
|. alone, know the secret of the COM
position that bears that name. Our
claim has always been that when the
hair begins to grow as the result of
the use of "P O r o." it will
continue to do so if only thescalp
and hair be kept clean. This san
itary method of treatment is also
having the desired effect in helping
to prevent the spread of diseases, for
it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary
condition carries the germs of disease
which often prove fatal to innocent
persons coming in contact with them.
For treatment, call on or address:

be placed over the spot, should it be

who designed the Lafayette Monu-
ment in Paris, in the scheme and to
obtain his service for the memorial.
It is understood that Nlr. BartIeti
is very keenly interested in Poe and
the mystery of his mothers last rest

would be given to the monument could
