The work and success of Miss Lou

that deserves credit, both to her par
ents and instructors of education.
The young lady is a graduate OF st.
Paul, Mimi, and also a graduate OF
the C. N. & l. class of 1911 OF VIII
berforce University, Ohio.
In drifting from school life into
life's great school, we find her work
in the business world bearing the
same marks of tact and perseverance,
that so distinguished her in her
school life. Her success has been
wonderful and, more to her credit, 1t
was made in the Southland and
among her own race, on whose busi-
ness nothing but honor can be re-
hected. For the past two years Miss
Harris has held the position OF stem
ographer in Jackson, Miss, in the
Office of one of the leading Insurance
companies of the South, and from
there was transferred as head STEM
ographer in the leading colored bank
of Savannah, Ga.
The wonderful success of this
young lady should be an inspiration
not only to other ladies but to all
mothers, who like most mothers,
make many vital sacrifices. but who
can feel that her efforts have been
thrice rewarded by the noble way in
which her daughter has mastered her
