A friend writes me that it is quite
an art to grow old gracefully and
graciously. Not all of us can be
graceful. either in youth or age, but
any one may be gracious. 1t is only
another way of saying that we may
accept the inevitable burden of years
cheerfully and pay the penalty that
comes with length of days without
grumbling. Instead, how many rebel
against nature grouchily, or childish
ly attempt to mask her face. The
really youthful spirit may become
nature but never grows old.

One OF the very important phases OF
School for Colored Youth is a summer
school. held for the rural school teach.
ers during July of each year. To this
come about a hundred teachers from
the rural districts. men and women,
who are heart and soul in the work.
Some of these teachers are well
trained and competent. but the greater
number are wholly unfit to teach.
Many have had no training above fifth
grade, and often can only read and
write with great difficulty. During
the winter of teaching, they often have
to travel many miles to their school
houses. which are usually meaRer di-
lapidated frame buildings. neither wind

PEELED to teach all grades and ages
in one room. For this they receive
pitifully small salaries. and II they
want to add any special work over the
regular curriculum. the pennies OF the
children. with share Of their own
small income, are forced to meet the
added expense.
They must find enough inspiration
during this one short month at the
summer school to carry them through
their trying winter. The state OF Vfr.
ginia contributes to the work. BE.
sides this summer school, there is held
for these rural teachers OF northern
Virginia. Teachers institute during
the Christmas holidays, where all
questions relating to school life and
work are discussed by prominent
speakers. as well as general discus

and teaching methods.
There is no doubt that the work
accomplished by the school, both in
its training OF the children and in the
broader ncld of its community work
Is OF vital Importance to the people
Of northern Virginia-not alone to the
colored man, but to the white man as

GREAT SIGNIFICANCE
ATTACHED BY GREEKS
To the CrOss-Diving Ceremony, OBJ
served by the Sponge Fishers
at TarpOn

Tampa, Feb. 9.-The cross diving
ceremony which is part of the OBJ
servance of the Feast of Epiphany
was recently participated in by several
thousand Greek sponge divers at Tar
pom Springs, Key West and other
points along the Florida coast of the
Gulf of Mexico. Mediterranean and
other waters have been much depleted
of sponges in recent years, causing the
immigration to Florida of many
Greeks, the greatest divers and swim
mers in the world.
During the Feast of Epiphany
scores of sponge boats, carrying all
Greek men, women and children of
the sponge centers, put out from the
bays into deeper waters of the Gulf.
Following the offering of prayers and
| singing of songs, large iron cross is
thrown into the water, and the strong
est swimmers and most fearless div
| ers go overheard to recover it.
4 Recovery of the cross is taken as
an omen of a successful year, while it
it confidently believed that i'll luck and
disaster will come to the colonies in
case it is allowed to remain in the
deep. Therefore the search, though
fraught with danger, is seldom given
up until the cross is recovered. Deep
running water is preferred to still
water and if the depth allows, the
champions who are designated to re-
cover the cross dive from immense
heights in order to attain the great
est possible depth in their downward
flight.
If the waters are too deep for div
ing without artificial aid, diving bel
is used. Even with the aid of bells
though, the lives of the divers are en-
dangered, as they are often forced t
attain so great a depth that the pres
sure of the salt water drives the bloo'
v from their nostrils and ears and pre-
vents the expansion of their lungs. L
more than one instance in recent year
strong -lunged divers have been life
less when brought to the surface.
Three thousand Greeks will partici
pate in the various events of the Gas
parilla Carnival at Tampa, Februar
II to 16 inclusive, and arrangement
have been made to have the cham
pion divers entertain the visitors fror
winter-bound states with their marvel
Gus acquatic feats. The cross-divin
ceremony is, of course, held too saC
red for presentation during any othe
than a religious festival, but visitor
