AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Boise, Idaho.

Dear Editor:
Enclosed find checw for a years
subscription of your valuable paper,
which I would not be without. Your
paper comes to me regularly each
week and is good food to a hungry
tramp in a far off land. l am so sell
fish that l do not want to be dis
turbed when once ] have opened the
Sun until every line has been read. 1t
always seems like a friend from home
when it comes, and l think that is
the reason l love it so. 1t brings me
news each week of friends of whom
l have no knowledge of their where
abouts. Then, too, l learned of your
wedding and the number of valuable
presents unheard of before at a Ne
gro wedding.
Although I can not see how you will
find use for them, yet they will be
pleasant to look upon and know that
they are yours, and you and Mrs.
Crews have my best wishes. May
you be prosperous and happy. I was
also glad to read Mr.. Lange's letter
and the remarkable story of his prog
ress. The young wives of today
would not stay long with a man who
built a hut without a window as a
place in which they should live; they
would be found crawling out of the
hole left open by a log. 1t is indeed
wonderful how God has blessed them

WHAT SCHOOL is THIS?

| should like to know why Negroes
should have to put up with conditions
as those which now exist in one of
our public schools. The teachers in
the school to which l refer give the
principal all kinds of present, such
as wearing apparel and things to eat
in order to keep their jobs. Nobody
works except those who feel like do
ing so. They sit around reading news
papers or talking to each other and
can be seen going to and from school
at any time of the day. The pupils
also go when they get ready and go
home when they please. There is no
discipline in this building as any of
the larger pupils will tell you. Only
recently all the pupils who were not
particularly bright were put back a
grade or two until they were so low
that they had to appear bright. The
seventh grade pupils are instructed
to watch for supervisors and pass the
word around when they come. The
teachers then get up and get busy
until the supervisor has gone. The
principal takes life easy drawing g
good salary and flirting with the mos
interesting of his teachers. How de
such women get Jobs here, anyway
By giving more than our home girl
have to give. , This is not the first
1 trust that you will print this letter
and II there is not a change for thu
better 1 shall go in person to the au
thorities with proofs Of what I know

has been honored or cut at each OF
the grand functions scheduled for the
week. There is much talk, naturally,

a study of the big gatherings would
be interesting from a social stand

With High Or Natural Waist Line.
The peg top skirt is especially be-
coming to the slender figures Of young
girls and small women This one has
the drapery arranged most effectively
and, at the same time, it is perfectly
simple. When the plaits are laid in
place and stitched and the edges are
finished, the skirt is made. 1t con-
sists of just piece but the selvage
edges must be Joined to obtain the
required width. since no material is
wide enough to cut without such join
ing. We are wearing skirts cut TO
the high waist line and those joined
to belts SO that either finish is quite
correct and the wise wearer chooses
the n that is the more becoming.
The peg top style is good for SO many
materials that it is suited to many
uses. 1t is in every way charming
for the coat suit, for the indoor dress
and for the afternoon costume that is
to be worn beneath a long coat.
For the is year size. the skirt will
require 3 ga yds. Of material 81 or

The Gift. d Churitx.

f AAsC N1tHVt VI 0kAUA IVY
Do a little good III passing, SOW some
kindness every day;
Stretch a handsto help a struggler who
has fallen by the way;
Flash a smile to cheer the mourner,
plant a flower to bud and bloom,
Loose a ray OF SYMPATHY to pierce
with sunlight the thick gloom.
Stop and counsel with crring, help
the fallen one to rise;
Find thy mission on the earth and
leave the stars to light the
Skies;
Whisper comfort. Ito the sobbing, let
the sunshine, struggle through.
And when Heavens portals open,
there will be 3 place for you.
Be a minister OF mercy that true
brotherhood may live;
BE not hasty in thine anger, doubly
ready to forgive;
First to see a kindly action, last to
doubt its honesty,
Leaden be thy tongue of censurc and
thy tongue Of praising free.
Slow to doubt and quick to cherish
every kindness of thy friend:
Last to misjudge his intention, and
the foremost to defend;
Kindness knows no creed or caste and
brotherhood no pedigree.
And the key to Heavens portals isl
the Gift Of Charity.
