Hampton institute is an Industrial
village with some 1900 or 1900 stu
dents, 200 teachers and workers, 140
buildings, and an instruction farm of
some 600 acres. Whatever work the
Hampton school needs to have done,
the students are usually prepared to
do. Farming, home-making, teaching
and the common industries form vital
parts in the training of Hampton in
stitute boys and girls Blacksmithing,
bricklaying and plastering, carpentry
and cabinetmaking, machine work,
painting, printing, shoemaking, steam
hitting, plumbing, tailoring, tinsmith-
ing, upholstering and wheelwrighting,
are the trades which are offered by
the Hampton Institute Trade school.
Products tell striking story of the
aims and methods of the Hampton
courses. These products are expressed
in negro and Indian mechanics who
nave gone out among their people and
are now serving their communities as
Christian and efficient builders for eX-
ample. They are also expressed in
well-built, attractive Hampton build
the home and school
In the busy shops, on the scaffold-
1ngs of new structures, in odd hooks
and corners of the Hampton grounds,
negro and Indian carpenters, for ex-
ample, have for many years been daily
mastering the building art and have
been preparing themselves for life's
emergencies by learning how to make
the best possible use of their resources
time, tools, skill and moral qualities.
Today the construction of the Hamp-
ton institute buildings and the neces-
sary repairs are being satisfactorily
done by student tradesmen. Naturally
a good share of this interesting work
falls to the lot of the carpenters. A
few years ago, when it became neces-
sary to remodel the principals home,
one of the oldest buildings on the
Hampton campus, negro and Indian
tradesmen did the necessary tearing
down and building up. These opera
tons were no easy task The bulk of
the work had to be done in hot and
trying weather. The boys labored with
a VIII. They were happy to have an
opportunity of doing we'll what profess
slonal builders considered a difficult
piece of work.
Later, when the school authorities
decided to add story to the Arm
strong-Slater Memorial Trade school,
the student tradesmen again attacked
with enthusiasm the laborious task of
raising the heavy roof and putting on
Ir-tz FITt--
Gus days devoted to finishing the in
ter1or work. There was always the JOY
OF doing successfully tasks generally
considered beyond the reach of
tradesmen in the training.

Commenting on the condition of the
colored Baptist churches in Chicago
writer in the Standard says Their
numbers help to suggest the important
place which these Baptist churches
hold in the life of this community.
Let me supplement this by the words
OF splendidly educated colored wom-
an, Mrs. F. B. Williams, who says:
Despite the serious handicap OF
slowly decreasing debts, the colored
church is the center of the social life
and efforts of the people. What the
church sanctions and supports is of
the first Importance, and what it fails
to support and sanction is more than
apt to fail. The colored churches his
torically, as to numbers and reach OF
influence and dominion, are the strong
est factor in the community life of
the colored pe,ple. Aside from the
ordinary functions of preaching,
prayer-meetings, and Sunday school,
the church is regarded by the masses
as sort of tribune of all their social
and civic interests. Thousands Of
colored people know and care for no
other entertainment than that fur
nlshed by the church. What they fail
to learn of the finer things of life in
the church remains unlearned. These
people. generally speaking, have few
civilizing and elevating influences. ex-
cept as they are supplied by this single
institution" She concludes by saying:
Our churches could do more and be
more to the eYer-increasing number
who need guidance, social ideals and
higher moral standards, if they were
less burdened with debts and an I'M
yielding orthodoxy. The Chicago
churches, however, are becoming more
intelligently interested and earnest in
their endeavor to meet-~the peculiar
requirements of the city colored peo-
pie"
The II colored churches differ as
widely as our own churches. Numeric-
ally, they range from a membership
of $500 to one of 35. Financially,
they vary from a debt-free larger
church to the bankrupt and defunct
mission church Theologically, intel
lectually socially, they differ They
are not made in mold. They exhibit
a bewildering and complex variety.
They are really Independent. Their
churches are named after the great
outstanding places of scriptural his
tory-a fact which suggests their in
dependence and variety-and not nu-
merically according to historical pre-
cedence, as we have been accustomed
to number our churches. And yet, in
spite of the great differences between
these churches, there are some COM
mon possibilities of advancement
which occur to the frie1dly observer.

William Quincy, a colored man
who has been living near here, passed
through Mcneil en- route to Shreveport
accompanied by a portion of his inter.
esting family of 20 children and his
third wife. The children with him
numbered seven, and they are all by
his present wife.
Quincy had seven children by his
first wife, including two sets of twins;
six by wife No. 2, and seven by the
present one. All the wives are living.
and after divorcing his former help-

The annual meeting of the National
Nebro Business league was held this
year in Muskogee, Okla. These meet
ings are always largely attended. The
delegates include not few colored
men who by their industry, intelli-
gence and thrift have attained a COM
potency if they are not to be reckoned
wealthy. They are successful farmers,
physicians and lawyers and merchants
and mechanics. Very largely they are
from the Southern states. This year.
as usual, Booker Washington was one
of the speakers, and gave his accus-
toned counsel emphasizing the oppor-
tunities which are open for those who
devote themselves to useful employ
ments everywhere. There was an in
dustrial parade which gave impressive
proof of the progress and attainmente
of the colored people in agriculture. in
stock raising, in artisanship, in
schools, in churches and in homes. In
spite of narrow prejudice and in many
places unworthy hostility, the colored
people are making progress that is
worth while.
