The conditions surrounding the ne
gro today are critical They demand
strenuous leaders, men of iron will,
men Of strong physique. men who
think right and stick to their convic-
tons. We must have leaders who do
not cater to selfish purposes, but who
are wholly and solely upon the sacri-
fetal altar for the sake Of their peo-
pie. In earlier days the ministry was
considered the. leaders of the race
but because Of many not proving
faithful to their trust the politicians
stole his fire, but he, too, has also
made shipwreck Of his charge. and
the negro race must now turn to the
advocates Of industrialism, and work
out the problem Of life and conditions
along practical lines. Shall we as a
race fail to reach the elimination Of
our desire, because of the fault Of
many Of our leaders? Our greatest
and truest leaders are those who
many times are silently working out
the "salvation" Of the race with fear
and trembling They are the men
who are attaining while others sug-
gest, are completing accomplish.
ments while others rest.-Colorado

lLLjTERAcY DECREASES.

Illiteracy in the United States has
decreased during the last decade from
1917 to rs per cent, according to sta
tistics just given out by the census
bureau. That the decrease has not
been even more marked is due to the
heavy immigration In the last ten
years.
An illiterate in the eyes OF the CEN
sus bureau is a person of ten years or
over who cannot write, regardless Of
his or her ability to cad. The number
Of illiterates in the United States In
1910, when the last census was taken,
was 5,516,693, as compared to $780,
069 in 1904 decrease of about 600.-
900. And a decrease OF about $780,.
from the figures of $780,
Compared with most countries of
Europe and South America, the United
States has a record of which it. may
we'll be proud In Austria the percent
age of ilIiteracy was 262 in 1900, the
latest figures available. In European
Russia, 70 per cent of the population
ten years old or over was illiterate in
1897; in Greece the percentage was
57.2: in Spain in 1900, 58.7: in Italy
in 1900, 1872; in Canada the percent
age among the people five years old or
over was I'LL in 1901; in Mexico the
percentage among persons eleven
years Old and over was 1853.

part in several amateur theatrical
performances, in which she showed so
much talent that her father sent her
to London and Paris to study.
Mrs. James Russell Lowell, wife OF
the United States ambassador to Eng

her she was introduced into diplomatic
circles. In London she played with
Forbes Robertson. Sir John Hare,
