BETTER TRAINING
FOR NEGRO GIRLS
Speaker Says They Are Often Given
Wrong gKind-Frequently Denied
Opportunity

The work of the National Training
schools for girls and women. maintained
by the women's auxiliary of the National
Baptist convention, for the training Of
negro girls at Lincoln Heights. District
of Columbia. was represented by Ida NJ.
Beck, field secretary of the convention
at the Sixth Avenue Negro Baptist church
yesterday morning. She is In the city in
the interest of education for negro girls
as carried on by the negro Baptists at
this school. and is to fill several en-
gagements in the negro churches of Bir-
mingham
A large audience of representative ne
groes heard her speak at the Sixth Ave-
nue. Baptist church on THE Ideal
Church in which she pleaded for order,
hospitality. contentment and godliness in
church work and church life. Bearing
directly upon the educational work of the
National Training school, the speaker de-
clared that in a large measure the negro
girls were being and had been neglect
ed and that they were frequently de-
MED the opportunity to fit themselves for
service in life. Our girls have not al
ways been properly appreciated" she
said. They are too frequently the VIC
Tins of the wrong kind of training, and
until we can give our young girls the
proper viewpoint of life and help them
to be the faithful and serviceable wom-
en- they ought to be, our race life will
not improve as 1t should.
"1n fitting these girls. who in large
measure are our ambassadors in the home
of the white people. for righteous serv-
ice and righteous living, we can perform
the best service for the race in giving
to them that kind of training that will
not only fit them for their duties in the
household in which they are engaged, but
will put them In position to associate
without embarrassment with any and all
of their people.
THE church and the school ought to
see to it that the negro girl is given a
fair chance, that her position Is respect
ed, and that In the faithful performance
of her duties, arduous as they often are,
she gets her just need of recognition and
praise. 1t is no disgrace to work in the
kitchen, to scrub the floors. or to launder
the clothes. The negro is not far enough
from slavery to submit to the introduc-
tion of such purile tomfoolery in his race
life"
She also spoke at the Metropolitan A.
NJ. f. Zion church Sunday night. The
National Training school, which she rep
| resents on the field under the auspices of
the woman's auxiliary to the National
| Baptist convention, was begun several
years ago by Mamie II. Burroughs, one
of the most forceful women of the ne
gro race and is designed particularly to
| fit negro girls and women for practical
| and useful pursuits. The work is main
| tanned almost entirely by the negro Bap-
| lists of the country.

The Boy Who Hates School

Don't worry If the boy who reports
for meals at your table and smashes
the windows playing ball in the back
yard does not fetch home lond col
umns OF high marks from school. says
the Boston Journal. Don't be alarmed
by all the yarns the papers print about
the boy prodigies at Harvard and else
where We wish those remarkable
lads luck and a fair field in life. and
We are amazed by the intellectual
stunts that they perform. They play
with the fourth dimension as blitn-
somely as ever the champion pole
vaulter goes over the, bar at 10 feet
But we wish to remind the average
father Of the average boy that the
race Is not always TO the swift nor
the battle to the strong"
Let's see about some Of the boys.
Sir Isaac Newton was a dull boy.
Liebig. the chemist was called a
BOBBY" Sir Robert Scott was
thought the thickest skull In his
school," and the great blockhead In
his university Richard Brinsley
Sheridan was told in his boyhood that
he was an incorrigible Ounce. Gold
smith was slow. The renowned Isaac
Barrow was "a marvel OF stupidity"
when lad. Douglas Jerrold, the wit,
was very. slow witted In his early
years.
You can't always tell. In "Evelyn's
Diary" there Is long description OF
stupendous prodigy; no one knows
what became OF him. Precocity does
not always succeed nor does dullness
always fail. Let your boy have real
boyhood When he becomes man
let him put away childish things; help
him to weave good strong fbers into
his character, and you may await re-
suits with reasonable degree OF COM
placency.
