schools teach the boys how to make better living
than they could the training of the schools and if they
can make the girls qualified take charge of the homes
than they haven't they really served the great
purpose of their existence? Everybody will that the
schools are intended boys and girls for duties that will be
theirs they What duties will be greater than these
for the boy making living and for the girl of knowing how
to take charge If the schools make homes
they justify the expenditure of the millions of dollars that
paid for their maintenance every year
Its good for the future that domestic scien ce

rural schools in Georgia They should be establish

in how great manner the health of
the scalp is necessary to the health of
the body generally" Do you know
that you can't feel we'll if your scalp
is dirty and sore? Do you know that
many bodily ills result from the in
ability Of the scalp to properly throw
off its waste because of dandruff and
the conditions it brings? Madam P.

Grower will remove dandruff, relieve
an itchy condition of the scalp, stop

CHURCH PROUD OF PASTOR.

Concord Baptist Giving Or. William
Maurice Moss Loyal support
The steady progress Of the Concord
Baptist church In BROOKLYN. under the
pastorate Of the Rev. William n. Moss,
d. D., for the past two years is the
best evidence that the church made
no mistake in the selection Of pastor
well qualified for leadership. The pas
tors New Years gift to the members
of the church and congregation was
his annual report. neatly printed and
bearing these words from the book OF
Numbers, xiii. %: What hath God
wrought" r-..
The report covers the twenty aux.
iliaries Of the church for the fiscal
year. 1t gives the number OF mem
bers In each. the amount Of money col
lected, how spent and balance in treas.
ury or bank. The Sunday school mem
bership is reckoned at 5S3, with total
collection for the year of $SS.33. Next
In financial rank is the Dorcas Home
Mission society, which donated to mis-
sions and educational work $550.92.
The pastors individual record OF

nevolent objects.
The success Of DR.. Moss at Concord
is all the more remarkable from the
fact that he Is pastoring church

during forty-six. years up to two years
ago. Naturally the new pastor has
had much to consider in methods OF

succeeded in giving entire satisfaction
and the people willingly follow his

NATIONAL LEAGUE SEEKS
TO UPLIFT THE PEOPLE.
Opens Housing Bureau In Heart OF
ThickIy Settled District.

The National League on Urban Con-
ditions Among Colored People has re-
GENTLY established at II West One Hun
dred and Thirty fifth street, New York,
a housing bureau, which is destined to
perform a much needed mission in this
district. The main purpose OF this ou-
reau is to furnish to the public a list OF
respectable apartment houses IN which
tenants may be assured of dignitled
and refined associations.
This movement is result OF the
clamoring of the better classes OF col
ored people for clearer line OF demar'
cation between the respectable and the
disreputable, for so uncertain are the
tenants of the houses in which the lat
ter class moves that it has been stated
over and over again by responsible
residents of this district that such pro
vision as the league is now making is
absolutely necessary. =, r. 8
The plan of the housing bureau is
simple. Lists of houses which real
estate agents desire to have approved
are furnished by these agents to the
bureau, which after inspection and In
teryiews with responsible individuals
residing in these houses are formally
certified to- Complaints are received
from persons who are annoyed, and
when only one or two families IN
house are known to be responsible fol
such undue annoyance, with the co,
operation of the agent and owner, these
individuals are summarily dispossessed
It is apparent that only through the
creation of clear moral consciousness
and an advanced community spirit car
such an effort prove efilcacious. Pub
lie opinion, coupled with the support OF
real estate agents and owners, will cas-
lily bring about the desired change
One agent has testified to the fact that
in the past it was lack Of moral cour'
: age which made it impossible for him
to get rid Of objectionable families.
An owner Of large amount Of prop.
erty in this district has said that the
cause Of higher rents and indiscrimt
