Chicago has a hospital in which
young Negro women are successfully
taught to become trained nurses. 1t
is he Provident hospital, at Dearborn
and Seth streets. Robert McMurdy
writes in the Survey: THE hospital
is really and distinctly Negro enter
prise. Founded twenty years ago with
the purpose of affording colored wo-
men the nurses training, it was then
the only institution of its kind in this
country. except the government hospi-
tal Freedmen's, at Washington.
Through it's earlier years it was nan
aged by colored people and even to
this time members Of both races are
on staff and board of trustees. 1t Is
supported largely by colored people.
Its endowment started from the pa
thetic bequest of an old colored wo-
man, who, dying. had just $50 to kave
after providing for her burial. Her
direction was: Give it to two chart
ties established for my people, che
half going to Proyident hospital To
this Widows mite have been added
generous gifts from friends Of all races
sympathizing with the aim OF Provi-
dent and enthusiastic over its SPLEEN
did record of achievement. 1t has
graduated over 11S nurses and has
now in training twenty-five colored
women"
After a months visit at this hosp1-
tai Sophie P. Palmer answered the
question of whether these Negresses
made efficient nurses. She said: From
the standpoint of order dignity and
technical skill the nursing force OF this
hospital seems to compare more than
favorably with hospitals of the salae
size and class in other cities where
the nursing service is composed OF
white women
when the Provident students took
their training in dietetics al, North

Murdy, their record was in no way
inferior to that of the white students!

On December IA, engineered and d.
rected by w. Woods White, philanthro-
phist and progressive thinker, there
was gathered at Atlanta the most not
able and epochal meeting of the ne
groes ever held in the south, if~not
in America. Between 5000 and 49,
900 representative negroes OF Atlanta,
80 churches and pastors of all denom-
nations, meeting for common joint
religious purpose, assembled in the
great Atlanta auditorium and were ad-
dressed by leading preachers of their
own race, by leading preachers of
the white race of Atlanta, by Gov
ernor Slayton> Of Georgia, by bankers
business men and editors.
The object of the meeting was to
persuade the negroes, out of their own
means, to erect Y. M. c. A. building
at Atlanta, with the assurance that II
they did this thing the general public
would cooperate with them more lib
orally than it had ever done before.
The great objective lesson was to
persuade the negro to help himself
in this matter, and the speeches were
of the best ever made in Atlanta in
many years. Negroes themselves con-
tributed $4,000.
The most valuable result of the
meeting was the education of the ne
gro in the great policy of self-help and
Of confidence in the good will OF the
white race. The results have already
been remarkably inspiring.
The Southern Baptist convention OF
Louisville passed resolutions pledglng
southern sentiment and to the help
of that new race.
The white preachers Of Atlanta fre-
quently leave their own pulpits on
Sunday morning to 60 out and preach
the saving grace of character, thrift
and self-help in the negro churches.
The effect of this better spirit Is
widespread throughout the south. 1t
has almost revolutionized the feeling
between the two races. 1t has in
spired the negro to greater express
sions of sacrifice and industry that
he has ever shown before, and ne Is

During yesterdays meeting, which
was presided over by George A. Da-

should be sent to the department, as
it has directly to do with the ap-
pointments ~. "
The attorney-general spoke in high
praise OF the work of the several
judges. and though they in no wise
reflected on the character or ability TO
Judge Wilder or Mr.. Watson-rather
the contrary-or questioned the good
faith of the governor in recommend
ing the appointments of the latter two,
they did go on record as favoring in
