While the colored people of the
Chesapeake basin are gradually grow
ing into landed class, even many of
the landless majority have acquired
personal property of various kinds.
Some own their village homes, and 1t
is believed that about half the colored
farm laborers in Delaware own horses
and carriages. In the bargain struck
for wages between the white farmer
and the colored farm laborer, 1t is
very common thing for the farmer to
undertake the feeding and housing of
the laborer's horse at charge of
about So per month to be taken out
of the wages, which may be from
$40 to $25 a month, with board and
lodging On Saturday night the col
ored people crowd into the Delaware
villages. many of them bringing their
wives and children in their own con-
veyances, and making purchases for
the week to come
There are few regions In the United
States where comfortable living is so
cheap as 1t is in the tidewater area of
the Chesapeake basin. Here for 5000
or 5000 square miles all the inhabi-
tants are within easy reach of perhaps
the richest waters in the world. Fish,
oysters, clans and for much of the
year aquatic game birds of many
kinds. to say nothing of the muskrat.
sold for food as marsh rabbit" are
amazingly plentiful, while employment
in the industries dependent upon the
tidal waters is almost continuous and
extremely well paid

The patrons of the negro public

City, Md, have asked that the board
of the Howard county school commits
sioners increase their teachers sal

the manner of conducting their
schools. In addition to increased pay
for their teachers they ask that they

colored trustees for the schools be
dropped, and that the school board
take charge of selecting their teach
ers and conducting their schools.
The colored petitioners also urge
the establishment of a negro indus
trial school at Alpha, where the col
ored people own a tract of land. They
would raise $500 toward the cost of
the erection of the building. If the
school should be built and meet with
cation, $1,000 would come from the
state treasury for its use.

How big the negro department, or
Nashville institute, is likely to bulk in
the regeneration of the South is plain
when we realize that negro churches
have to date absolutely divorced re-
ligion from social service, writes Mary
Bronson Hartt in the Boston Trans
cript A negro theological student
gets Greek and Hebrew and systematic
theology enough to enable him to
shine as a professor in a divinity
school, but not one hours training is
given him in sociology, public hygiene
or any topic fitting him to deal with
the acute problems of the salvation of
his race. Two negroes die of pre-
ventable disease for every white man.
Yet the religious leaders Of the people
have made no capital OF Cleanliness
next to godliness."
The social clinic of Nashville insti-
tute sends its students into the field as
a part of their course. A kindergarten
and milk depot are maintained at the
school, and students of nursing, sani-
tation and home economics go out into
the negro quarter to study and to
help.
In recent lecture was shown a sig
nificant photograph of a negro hovel
of the worst ramshackle type, set in a
vilely insanitary dooryard, SO close
under the shadow of the finest negro
church in Nashville that the beautiful
stone tower fills the background of the
picture. In the dooryard stands a
negro student from the new school for
negro workers, himself clergyman,
dramatically dissertating upon the
sanitary dangers of rubbish and urging
the reformation of the cluttered door
yard. For years the church had looked
down serenely on that hovel, satisfied
with emotional fervor and quite una
ware of it's criminal neglect of life.

the wholesome effect of the domestic

management this has been one of thb
most successful seasons, financially
that this institution has had for zen
years, and we believe that the pa
irons are well satisfied with the en-
tertainment furnished them. One Of
the reasons for the great success this
year has been the summer school which
has had large number Of teachers
in attendance and these have added
much to swell the crowds and in many
other ways. The summer school is
still in session and will continue for
about ten days more. Considerable Of
the program has been by local talent
and talent from over the staff but 1t
has been good and has been appre-
ciated by all who have been there to
listen. Now that this session is over
it is none too soon to begin making
preparations for the 1915 SESSION and
as this has been a very successful
year we all hope and trust the next
session will be the best ever.
