n ERHAPS you never looked closely
at the Treasury seal which appears
on all the paper currency OF the
United States? Few men ever examine
it. but 1t is interesting for all that
Men are eager to get this currency and
then eager either to spend it or to bank
it. 1t is curious that in spite of the
widespread interest which men feel in
money that they have given so little
notice to the strange device which stands
boldly out on the face, at the right hand,
of every bill On some bills the seal Is
blue. on some it is yellow and on others
II is red. In a circular band is a line
of Latin which cannot be translated by
the aid of the Foreign Words and
Phrases in the back pages of a diction-
ary. Within this Latin-banded circle Is
a complication of symbols.
j. E. Ralph, director of the bureau OF
engraving and printing, in explanation OIL
the colors Of the seals. said:
..The different colors used in printing
the seals on the paper notes OF the United
States are for the purpose OF Quickly
distinguishing between silver certincates,
gold certificates. United States notes ana
national bank notes. as, Tor example the
seal on silver certificates Is printed IN
blue. on gold certificates in yellow, on
United States notes in carmlne ana on
national bank notes also in blue. one OIL
the reasons for the use OF these colors
is for the purpose of facilitating the
asserting of the notes in redeemlng them
in the Treasury Department.
The sealing of the notes of the United
States is now done in the bureau OF en-
craving and printing. the serial num-

one time upon a specially designed press
which in the same operation separates
the notes and collects them into pack

In the matter of the Latin of the seal
Director Ralph said that the legend on
the seal is ''Thesaur. Amer Septent-
Sigil.'' being an abbreviation of the
Latin Thesauri Americae Septentrionalls

seems that the Trustees have taken a
step that meets the hearty approval

DR.. Morrow has been connected with
Fisk for a number of years; he has
the respect and confidence of the
members of the faculty, the student
body, the alumni and all the people
with whom he has come is contact

The student body know DR.. Morrow
as friend, and when they want a
counsel they never hesitate to go to
him; they know they will not receive
words of flattery, but that they will
be taken into his confidence and he
will hear what they have to say.
What is true with the student body

sands of Dollars to
Nashville.

That the Baptists will come to
Nashville twenty-five thousand strong
in September is the estimate of Rev.
R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary OF the
National Baptist Publishing Board
and publisher of the National Baptist
Union-Review, the official organ OF
the denomination. DR.. Boyd is in
position to have a good idea OF the
magnitude of the coming meeting.
He is in constant touch with the men
all over the country, and his estl-
mate is taken as a fair OASIS on
which to calculate.
Nashville should be very proud
that she succeeded in bringing this
meeting here, it being the Semi-Cen'
tennial year and the fact that the
exhibition will be held in connection
with the convention naturally means
that thousands are coming this year
who would not think of coming, oW'
ing to ordinary circumstances.
The local committee is hard al
work planning arrangements to enter
tain this great host of church work
ers. It is understood that sessions
will be held in various points in the
city, but some large auditorium will
be used for the morning meetings
The National Baptist Publishing
House will be the headquarters, it Is
understood that extensive improve
ments will be made to handle this
great crowd every day during the
convention.
The people are making extensive
preparations to entertain their guests
in their homes. The fact that thes'
delegates will pay 81 day boart
and basing the calculation upon tn
estimate of DR.. Boyd, and in vlev
of the fact that the convention will
hold a five days session in this grea
convention will mean to Nashville
over one hundred thousand dollars
But the people are not concerne'
about the money they will receiv
for board; the general Impression 0
Nashville is that it is due Nashville t
entertain her guests in way tina
will be in keeping with the reputF
ton of this city. All meetings tina
have been held here before have bee
high in their praise of the hospitalit
of Nashville people, and the peopl
are bent on holding up that reputi
ton. The meeting will come in tn
middle of September and will be
great time for this city.
