Among the conclusions reached by
Mr.. Alexander Bettis of South Caro-
lima, principal of the Bettis academy,
was that 1ocking to town was funda-
mentally bad for the negro. lie con-
stantly affirmed that the best place
for the colored man was on the land
as a tiller of the soil. He wars also
certain that labor on the land should
be intelligently performed, therefore
the young men and women of the race
should be educated according to their
practical needs. Opportunities for
such education existed after a fashion
in the towns and cities. According
to the Belts theory of the fitness
of things, sending young people from
the country to be educated to work on
the farms was logically foolish and
morally mischieyous. Reasoning in
rather a straight line. this preacher
concluded that the thing to do was to
bring adequate educational opportuni-
ty to the people of the country
He knew that his theory was right,
but applying it was not easy. Bettis
believed that part of the business OF
life was to meet obstacles and emer-
gencies and throw them off the track.
Manifestly the first thing to do was
to make beginning. This he did
by securing enough land for a nu-
cleus This negro preacher knew his
own limitations, and that he did not
know how to manage an educational
institution. His next step was to Sc
lect and equip two young men for this
task. They were sent first to the
Schofield Normal and Industrial insti-
tute at Aiken, one of the first schools
established in the South for the ed
ucation of the negro. Then they took
courses in Atlanta university. One
of them died soon after Belts acad-
emy was started.
Twenty-eight years ago the suryiv-
ing young man, Alfred w. Nicholson,
took charge of the institution. and
ever since then the story of success
in individual equipment and land de-
velopment clusters around this man
and his wife.
The plant OF Belts academy has
been a growth like Topsy. From the
small beginning of one primitive build
ing the plant has expanded into clus-
ter of buildings, plain, TO be sure, but
suited If not adequate, to the sub
stantial educational work which the
school fosters.

We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,.
says:
After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, / re-
ceived a shock four years ago that left
me in such II condition that my life
was despaired of.
Il got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies tried, because didn't know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.
Finally at the suggestion of friend
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum. and against my expectations
gradually improved In health until for
the past or s months | have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
My troubles all came from the use
OF coffee which had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when cult coffee and took up the use
of Postum" Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects OF
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense.
Coffee Is a destroyer-Postum Is a
rebuilder. That's the reason.

The herosm OF the negro bellboys,
who fought with suffocating clouds of
smoke while they rushed through mar
TOW Railways, banging upon doors,
arousing guests and rescuing small
children. probably averted serious loss
of life in fire of mysterious origin
which threatened to completely de-
stroy the Hotel Islesworth at Atlantic
City. N. J.
Over three hundred guests suffered
heavy losses by the blaze, which swept
through practically the whole of the
fourth floor of the big, rambling frame
structure.
While the fire was at its height
dense clouds of smoke swept into the
dance hall on the Garden pier, three
squares away, where an audience of
fully 1000 people, including guests Of
the Islesworth, who knew nothing Of
the blaze at their stopping place. were
enjoying a moving-picture show. Some
one yelled fire and the audience
promptly stampeded for the doors. In
the intense excitement in the dark
ened hall forty women tainted and sew
eral were trampled on, while the
panic-stricken audience tiled to reach
the exits.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CUL[|NCS

There are some persons who think
that race antipathy, in the sense of
"a dislike for the unlike" and an
aversion from social contact and a
repugnance toward race intermixture,
has served and still serves a good
purpose, is comment of Daniel
Evans I'm the Boston Globe.
In the first place 1t is claimed that
race antipathy has served the purpose
of keeping the blood of race pure,
and thus securing its superiority. This
claim presupposes that one race is
superior TO another by its very con-
sttutional endowments, and, there
fore. the superior and the inferior
races are kept apart by race antipathy.
Again, It is held by others, on far
better grounds, that race antipathy
has served to preserve the life OF
races. The various races once lived
largely in a hostile environment. They
we're obliged to be on guard always
against foes. War was their main
business, and suspicion the rule of
their life. Race antipathy at this
level was the fighting instinct and
made for race preservation.
Once more, It is maintained by
others that race antipathy has made
for the conservation of particular oul-
tural values. These values are held
to be dependent upon certain races,
not only for their production, but also
for their conservation.
Now il may be admitted that race
antipathy has served, very largely, to
keep the races separate, but it is quite
evident that II has failed in millions
OF instances in our land and elsewhere
in the world and in all periods OF his
tory. Wherever there has been inter
mixture of races, through Illicit inter
course, there antipathy has failed.
Where it is desirable, at present, to
keep members of widely divergent
races from intermarriage, II is better
to create moral barriers, those of rea-
son and character. than to depend
upon race antipathy. And where 1t is
desirable that members of races more
NlOHtly dlllth ihN'i iaNN
antipathy may hinder race virility.
diversity and progress. Thus race
antipathy is inadequate for restraint,
at the lower levels, and on the higher
levels It may prove detrimental to
civilization.
In like manner. we may .dmit that
race antipathy has made for race
preservation at one level and under
certain conditions, without being
forced to concede that 1t ir Lecessary
now. We are on a higher level and
race preservation is better secured
through reason and character than
through mutual aversion. Tie mem
Der of prosecuted race or a racial
group or n backward race is better
protected today by its moral charac'
ter and the conscience of humanity.

Falling or jumping down a 55-foot
we'll on the farm of his father, the
four-yearold son of b. Frank Minch,
near Beebe Run, showed such pluck
and courage that his rescue was ac-
complished after an exciting half-hour
of work by a brave negro farm hand.
The lad was playing with other chill
dren when some of them dared him
to get into the box about the pump
used for lowering cream and milk into
the we'll to keep cool. Then he either
fell or. under the stimulus of the dare,
jumped the rest of the way.
The children gave the alarm and
help was quickly at hand. The colored
farm hand climbed down the well by
bracing his feet against the brick
walls, and then he lowered a clothes
line to the lad, who all that time had
chung coolly and courageously to the
pump box and kept his head above
the water, though how he managed
to grasp the pump in his fall is mys-
terry The child made the line fast to
his little body, and was being raised
when the line broke and he fell back.
He still grabbed the pump box, and a
stronger line finally got him to the
surface in safety.-Shiloh IN. j. dis
