Hampton institute is an industrial
village with some loo or 1900 stu
dents, zoo teachers and workers, 14O
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. Blaeksmithing'
bricklaying and plastering, carpentry
and cabinetmaking, machine WORK,
painting, printing, shoemaking, steam
fitting, 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
have 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
ings and in seryiceable accessories OF
the home and school.
In the busy shops, on the scaffold-
ings 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 1t 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
will. They were happy to have an
opportunity of doing well what profess
sional 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
the second story. Then came the tedi-
Gus days devoted to finishing the in
terror 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. T. B. Williams, who says:
Despite the serious handicap OF
slowly decreasing debts, the eolored
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 1t fails
to support and sanction Is more than
apt to fail. The eolored churches his
torically, as to numbers and reach of
influence and dominion. are the strong
est factor in the community life OF
the eolored people. 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
nished 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
ciyilizing and eleyating 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 ever-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 endeayor 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 a mold. They exhibit
a bewildering and complex variety.
They are really Independent. Their
churches are named after the great
outstanding places of scriptuTal 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

The annual meeting of the National
