Franklin on Lack of Business System.

The need of good business manage
ment in the conduct of household af-
fairs Of churches and lodges and OF
the business enterprises of the race
is not given the recognition it should
have. says Editor G. "A. Franklin in
the Denver Statesman. The earning
power Of the race is too little to admit
of leakage. yet poor managers go along
blithey trusting to luck and guessing
Oh their business instead Of knowing
the facts from carefully kept books.

meeting appropriations were made for
rural schools for 1918.
The Jeanes fund was one Of $1,000
OOO bestowed by Miss Anna II. Jeanes.

quest grew out of the representation
that the crying need of the colored
children Of the south was better schools
in the back country districts: that the
terms should be extended beyond the
few weeks allowed by the local author
tiles and that properly equipped teach
ers should be provided.
Miss Jeanes responded to DR. Booker
II. WashingtOn's recommendation by
giving the $1OOQ.OOO for the relief of
these poor children in the rural regions
Of the southland. The interest on the
fund amounts to $4,000 per annum.

reason the meetings will probably be
held III the evenings.
After seven days spent in consider

and revenue system. the commission
has made only one important change,
that OF abolishing the board OF est

have all been defeated, and the law
