AUTO|ST THREW MATCH IN GASOLINE

Judging from letter which J. c. Lincoln of Harrington road has re- ceived from his daughter, Miss Lista, .eho became marooned in Switzerland upon the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, her arrival in this country in time to take charge of her class at the Lincoln street school in New Britain seems very dubious at present. At the time of the writing, August 4, she was in Lucerne with but forty dollars of cash to draw upon, her travellers checks having been rem dered void shortly after war was de- 'olared.
 Miss Lincoln left here early in July with a party of twelve people, headed by the superintendent of schools at Wallingford The group traveled with one of Mrs. Babcock's tours although rather independently, and had inten- tions of covering the greater part of Europe during the time before the smiddle of September.
 The local young lady writes, in part: We are in quite pred1cament, to express it mildly. Owing to the war we are in Switzerland, and good ness knows if we will ever get out. No one can pass over the frontier into Germany, so how are we to get ; through that country and into Hol- land? We .don't wish to go back. to Italy. We haven't heard from Mrs. Babcock as she is in Germany, and II we do anything without her permis- sion we will have to pay for it our selves. l am sure my forty dollars will not carry me very far It is very Dathetic here in Switzerland All the troops here have been ordered to the border lines. At Interlaken and at 7 all the stations, the soldiers have been saying goodbye to the weeping mobs People, are all fleeing to their native lands. We are as safe as can be in switzerland 1 guess we can get to England all right some time or other. An English and American conference Is to be held here Wednesday,
 "Our money is useless only gold svill be accepted, so. needless to say, we aren't buying much.
 Referring to her interesting trip, Miss Lincoln writes: Yesterday took trip up around the wonderful mountains near Interiaken. Gu. party took a cog railroad far up the side : Then we joined crowds with their alpine sticks and packs on thei. backs. It went to the Eiger Glacier, which Hes at the foot of Mt. Finger and Jungfrau. It was a steep climb and most of our party gave it up. but I begged along with some New York people and, at last, walked on and in that moving body of snow and ice. It was all very weird. You could bear noise like thunder and looking

Progress in Education


 No body of teachers In the country are more interested in their work than you are. The fact that each year at your annual gatherings larger num- Der of teachers assemble than at any othe rsimilar gathering of negro teach- CTS in the south is an evidence of this. Nowhere in the south are the colored teachers making greater sacrifices to pro- noting the cause of education than you are. Through your efforts school terms have been lengthen, scnoolhouses built, the home life of the people made better and communities improved.
 'In spite. however, of uIl that has been done, Alabama has still low rank among the states in the matter of public school education. In fact, it Is almost at the bottom. We must do what we can to bring it up to the top.
 The number of negro children of school age in the state is 32S,o24. Of these 1S4,- SIO, or l per cent, are enrolled in school That is, for every two children in the public schools there are three out Only or.e state. Louisiana. with 39 per cent en- rolled, makes worse showing than this.
 There was spent last year in the state for teachers salaries S3,100, ,239. Of this amount $395,674 was for negro teachers. Tiis Is $2O, 482 more than was spent the year previous. The expenditure for a child of school age is for colored $1 20: white $7
 ''The average salaries for negro men and women are $157 snd $137. Neither white or colored average as much as is raid for first-class convicts.
 There are 2371 negro teachers in pub- lie schools of the state; 1850 or 70 per cent hold third-grade certificates; 544, or g per cent, hold second grade certificates. 162, or per cent, hold first-grade and life certificates. There has been a de- crease In both the number and percent age of teachers holding first and second- grade certificates. Three years go there were 174 colored teachers in the state holding first-grade certificates; COS sec- ond grade and 1907 having thirtl-grade ones. Twelve years ago per cent of the teachers had first-grade certificates. Tt is often said that Alabama is too poor to educate all the people. In the words of another, l say that Alabama is tco poor not to educate all the people. .. Ignorance is costly from every point of view. Ignrance is a perpetual handi- cap, perpetual burden. Ignorance is a constant temptation to the stronger man t" weaken and degrade his own soul bv doing injustice to the Ignorant man. Ig- norance means more crime, more poy- erty. less production. more dependence upon others. Ignorance, then, let me say again, is the most costly product which we can grow in Alabama Let us go from this great meeting de- termned to convince the white man that it is worth while to educate the black people .and to impress upon ourselves the importance of doing our duty and joining hands with the white citizens of Alabama to lift the toad of ignorance from all the people. regardless of race or eolor.'
