Can Washington's young "twigs' be

mer months. when time hangs heavy and
little hands are apt to get into mischief?
Can something not only wholesome but OF
practical value as we'll be carried on
successfully here?
1t can.
The answer comes from the Grover

Washington's first real recreation GEN.
ter" has been carried on through the ac-
tive work of three interested women and
the financial support of a score or more
of persons. Through this work children
in the vicinity of the Grover Cleveland
School have been interested in all sorts
of activities, which, 1t is believed. will
prove profitable for them
Dressmaking, typewriting, basketry,
embroidery, crochet and lace making are
now being taught at the school. Carpen-
try and hammock making are to be start
ed in the near future for the boys. Car
pentry work probably will be started next
Monday. This industrial work is done in
the mornings.

EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS.
All Glasses Benefit by Carnegie Library
at Biddle University.
By GEORGE r. KING,

ny VENUE NlNS.
Charlotte, N. C.-There is a keen In.
terest manifested by the Afro-Ameri.
cans In this city for good literature
This unusual mental activity Is a con-
spicuous evidence Of the trend of the
race here to become Influenced by great
Christian agencies that have nodded
other progressive races. There are
hundreds Of public libraries through
out the southland. but Afro-Ameri-
cans are denied the use of them for
such knowledge as they might wish to
obtain through book lore.
One can readily appreciate existing
conditions that have .impeded the Afro
Americans material advancement in
the realm of good literature. The
class of books that will inspire our
youth is not so easily procured in many
sections Of the country. and because
of such there is a mental degeneration
In too many instances. and a poor con-
ception Of ennobling ideals is also the
result.
Hence 1t Is quite obvious to the av-
erage member of the race to under
stand the motives of any race in giving
its members such excellent opportuni-
ties for mental culture. The Carnegie
library at Biddle university. this city.
is a regenerating influence that is real
ly proving our peoples claim, which
Is just, to become an integral part of
everything that Is in direct touch with
good influences.
1t Is encOuragingly true that the ma
tured members Of the race In Charlotte
are exhibiting remarkable dispOsi-
ton, which Is also an indication Of
hope long deferred. to accept every op-
portunity given them by this good in
stitution of learning which has mold
ed hundreds of young men for life of
useful service.
The library is equipped to meet the
peculiar exigencies of reading pub
lie that lives upon pure literature and
was dedicated at the last commence
ment season Of the university. The
pessimist that Is himself fooling with
the ghost Of racial antipathy should
visit the school and the library and see
how the students and general public
make use of the opportunity.
Dr. Fl. L. McCrorey, president Of the
university. and those assisting him in
bringing Biddle up to its present stand
ard Of efficiency for the work Of de-
veloping a race along the right lines
are now the cynosures of the better ele-
ment Of both races in all sections Of
the country for giving our people such
an excellent chance for self help.

HOW ONE COLLEGE HAS HELPED
NEGROES.

In q certain county in Mississippi,
says q writer IN the Southern Work
man, a college for white boys has in
spired and positively helped the Ne
groes Of the county. "A spirit of
sympathy and good will has shown
itslf in conduct. The college en-.
plays number Of Negroes to work
on the college farm. Working as
they must under the direction Of a
trained agriculturist, these men learn,
through doing. many vital principles
of effective farming. They eventual
ly start up farms Of their own and
thus carry with them the experience
gained under trained oversight
Their success in the community
where they live becomes an object
lesson to the neighbors around
Again, the college experiments In
taxing the productive capacity under
certain conditions Of an acre Of cot
ton or corn In full view Of the peds-
trianS to and from town. This ex-
pertinent is watched with the keenest
interest by those who are aware of
what Is being done. and this has
proven to be a very effective kind of
object lesson. The college further
sends out men to hold farmers in
stitutes for Negroes in various parts
Of the county. Such questions as
deep plowing. crop rotation. green
manuring. diversity of crops, stock,
raising with reference to the breed
ing and care of stock. have been
presented at different times. These
Institutes furnish experiences to the
illiterate Negroes for the intelligent
observation of work done on the col.
lege farm"

SOMEBODY'S SISTER.
BY Byron II. Stauffer.

In our old school reader was a

1t told of an old woman helped across
the busy, slippry street by bright
laddie who returned to the merry
group Of his fellows to say:
She's somebody's mother. boys. you
know,
For all she is aged and poor and
SLOW"
wish q rhyme could be given US
on "Somebody's Sister," to stir the
noblest imaginations our our youths,
and elevate their demeanor toward
every young woman they meet.
Somebody's sister Is walking by
the street corner where you and your
chums are congregating tonight. You
are feeling merry. with bit of loose
change in your pocket and the days
work over. A group Of young fellows
will recklessly make remarks about
passing woman in the evening,
which one young man, alone wouldn't
think of expressing next morning.
Set the bound Of decency against
your buoyancy. The next young WON.
an to happen along may be your sis.
ter or your sweetheart. If your
chum. not knowing. should offer her
an insult. there would be trouble,

HOW TO RETAIN PHYSICAL

Summer SoIstioe In Life Comes at
Thirty, Says Or. c. v. Roman.

In an address to the knights of
Pythias Of Tennessee not long ago DR..
Q. V. Roman, the sage Of Nashville,
Tenn, said In part as follows:
physical energy Is the basis of
worldly success, and the primary need
Of our people today Is to conserve their
physical force. Our educated people
must live long enough to pay back
with interest the price Of their educa-
ton.
"The college bred man who dies at
graduation or soon thereafter dies in
debt to society. If he dies through his
own ignorance or carelessness he alb
seconds without paying his board bill.
He throws away other peoples money.
"Our successful men must live until
their successors are qualified If we are
to hold our own and advance. The
thirtieth birthday marks the summer
solstice Of the average mans career.
He should have at least thirty active
years from that date to make and reap
his rewards.
"a high birth rate Is not full COM
pensation for high death rate. The
energies Of the race are exhausted in
merely trying to live. and no strength
Is left for improvement How much
land could a farmer till II he broke
fresh horses every morning3
HE could make no headway even II

tion for the loss in a high birth rate.
The drain must be stopped. Howl
BY teaching our people to utilize all
available opportunities to improve
their physical condition. One illustra-
ton will suffice.
Davidson county. Tenn, has built a
modern tuberculosis hospital. equal ac-
commodations for colored and white.
Although there are more deaths among
the colored than among the whites
from tuberculosis, there are fewer col
ored patients at the hospital than
whites.
'"The average colored person stricken
with tuberculosis would rather remain
q burden to his relatives and finally
die than 60 to the hospital and get
well.
ITO enlighten our people along these
lines is a great opportunity. Let US
hope that our fraternal leaders may
see that the good Of the order con-
sists in embracing promptly this op
vortunity."
