An earnest plea for the betterment
OF the rural colored schools of the
south was made by James H. billiard,
president and director. at the annual
meeting of the board of the Negro Ru.
raj school fund OF the Anna T. Jeanes
foundation, which was held at New
York few days ago.
The city, town and village school.
houses for the colored children are
often fairly good" says MIR. billiard,
but in the open country. where we
profess to wish the people to remain,
and where we profess to wish to train
these country children to better coun-
try living, anything better than dis
graceful shack is rarely found for the
schoolhouse'
The Jeanes foundation. established
five years ago, and with the active and
financial cooperation of the various
counties of the southern states. and
that of the Phelps-Stokes fund. is car.
rying on an educational campaign
among the rural negro population of
the south.
The scope of the work is so large
that though more than S3S,000 has
been spent for teachers salaries
alone, the officers and executive com
mittee find themselves badly handi-
capped for funds with which to prop
erly extend the work of the founda-
ton. Only s1,l95 was available for re-
pairs and equipment of schoohouses.
So great has been the increase in
the number of schools, that it has
been found advisable to organize
corps of supervising teachers and
state supervisors. The problem OF
meeting the travelling expenses OF
these workers is by no means an easy
one. In many cases they are depend
ent upon private contributions from
patrons of the schools, where the coun-
ties have made no appropriations for
the purpose.
Mr.. billiard is optimistic regarding
the future of the work. and feels that
in spite OF many handicaps. a constant
ly increasing appreciation and spirit
of cooperation is being manifested by
school ficials. both state and county.

When the difference between the March

early trading yesterday. spot house
broker offered to sell March and buy May.
and this was about the only feature Of
comparatively quiet cotton market Some
local traders took this to mean that the
stradde interest short % May here

pool had been consid erably reduced. and
that the concentrated long interest IN
March might be willing 10 liquidate the
near month at prevailing differences IN

cries OF cotton for the purpose OF retend-
ering on May. Most Of the business. in
fact was supposed TO be IN the way or
undoing straddles or switches, but the
market held steady after an early decline
and closed steady at a net loss OF 3 to
points. While the offer 10 sell March
against purchases OF May seemed TO re-
lleve the anxiety OF remaining March
shorts. IT also promoted some covering OF
