APPEAL IN BEHALF
OF COLORED TEACHERS.

OF c0L0RED TEACHERS.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL, Sir: In making a trip
through the south few weeks ago, l
discovered cases where colored teachers
are not receiving more than $40 a month
for their service for teaching a public
school. This indicates the sacrifice that
many colored teachers are making
throughout the south III order TO give
the negro children some education.
1t is for teachers and pupils Of this
class for a number of years / have
made an appeal - the public for Christ
mas cards, books or any other gift that
will remind these people, who are doing
the nations work under such difficulties,
of the Christmas season. 1t is most
helpful for them to be reminded that
there is somebody on the outside who
is thinking of them and cares for thom.
should be very glad to serve as a
medium for forwarding to such persons
whatever gift that may be sent to me
at the address given below.

The Greeks happy. The island of Crete has been
annexed formally and with impressive ceremony to
the Greek kingdom It may be added with equal truth
that the Cretans also delighted that the vestge
of Turkish domination has been removed doubt,
forever. The transfer Of the island Turkey to
Greece has taken many years. When it became ap-
parent that something must be done to relieve the
Cretans OF the Turkish yoke Great Britain, Russia,
France and Italy established joint proecorate
the island with the suzeranty Of Turkey still recog-
nized From 1898 until last February the flags Of all
those nations oated the island waited
impatiently for opportunity to step in and take
possession In that month the island evacuated
and turned informally to Greece. II was not
until last Saturday, however, that formal annexation
was made and the Cretans, who had suffered untold in
iuries from the unspeakable Turks, passed beneath
the protection Of the Greek flag The island will
have opportunity to develop its under
intelligent and sympathetic rule something it has lack
ed ever since Turkey assumed dominion it.

are largely the descendants OF the
|exiled criminal classes of the British
isles. If the whipping post dimin-
ishes crime (will Mr.. Dizer please
quote statistics) why was there more
crime in the fifteenth century, when
penalties were more severe, when
there were worse crimes and more
brutality than there is today? If it is
unChrisitan to condemn a civilization
which first breeds criminals and then
Furnishes them, / plead bully. If it
is unChristian to condemn the brutal
punishment Of criminals, then we
should quit preaching the gospel of
Love and Mercy and Forgiveness, Of
the value of the soul and the love
Of God and of Christ. If we want to
get rid of evil we must remove the
causes of evil. It is useless to
punish the victim. Perhaps Mr..
Dizer's injection of the religious
question into the discussion of the
whipping post is because it had its
inception as a religious institution.
