Rev. H. H. Dunn of New Orleans in
a sermon has outlined the progress
of the colored people of New Orleans
for the last year. The first public
playground for colored children was
opened; $500 was raised by the col
ored citizens for it. and white citi-
zens contributed $4,000 in addition;
white and colored physicians met to-
gether to discuss Negro health; public
library for Negroes has been start
ed; the city council has purchased
a site at cost of $4,000 and appro-
priated $4,000 annually for mainte-
nance; building valued at $4,000
is nearing completion. The public
school system still lacks high school.
but there are S,164 pupils enrolled and
1855 public school teachers, of whom
eight are white. One new school
building has been opened. The eighth
grade has been restored in three
schools, and will be started in an
other this month. There are a num-
Der of patrons and parents clubs.

When / consider the cost of this
war; when | think of the blood that
has been shed; of the property that
has been destroyed and the misery
that has been caused-I am sometimes
inclined to thank God that l am not a
member of superior race. Rather
am disposed to thank God that l be-
long to a people that cannot hope and
does not desire to prosper at the cost
of any other race.
There is a certain advantage in be-
longing to a race that has to make its
way peacefully through the world;
race that prospers. If it prospers at all.
because it has made friends rather
than enemies of the people by whom
1t Is surrounded. There is a certain
satisfaction, also, in belonging to a
race whose hope of success in the
world consists of making itself use
full to the world. and it is not wholly
disadvantage to the Negro that though
he should fight in every war as he has
in this, it is not to maintain his own
superiority. but that of some other
race that he fights.-Booker T. Wash
ington in the North American Review.

No institution of learning is now
complete without it's extension de-

this direction was varied, dramatic and
full of that humor that borders on
pathos. Two men at Tuskegee were
brought in from the adjoining country
to tell how they acquired land and
were now filling their own farms, trac-
ing their inspirations, OF course. to
the farmer conferences and to the ra-
dating influences of Tuskegee. One
woman told of how she secured bet
ter schoolhouse for the ''chillun." Egg
selling, chicken raising, and many 9th
er ways too well known to the women
of the North which often indicate an
obscure selfishness and hidden pc
nuriousness. here became high general
ship and splendid courage. But more
eloquent than the farmer parsons or
the soliciting schoolhouse builders was
the stern Angelolike countenance OF
the wife who said to the preacher,

Recently there was erected at the
Hampton institute a two-story brick
building to be used as a social center
for the boys. Contracts were award
ed to the trade school departments
and student tradesmen did the con-
struction work. Today the building
stands completed. 1t is known as
Clarke hall. 1t is used by the Young
Mems Christian association. To ap-
preciate the meaning of these three
examples of construction work done
by the Hampton tradesmen. one must
see the completed structures and real
ize the building problems which the
young Negro and Indian tradesmen
met and successfully solved.
While construction work calls for
ability to read working drawings and
follow detailed specifications, the de-
mands made by repair problems are in
many instances even more taxing To
make a repair quickly, skillfully and
economically. requires unusual abil-
ity. Hampton institute is indeed an
industrial village in which there is
constant demand for men who can
do good repair and construction work.

ALFALFA GAINING OVER COTTON

fs Cotton reductions have been en tered into with determination by all the large 7 lanters along the Arkansas side of the Mississippi river. Alfalfa has taken h e place of the feecy staple, and the planters are this week reap E ing their first harvest of the year, and in the first cutting are making almost as much as they would from an entire season in cotton. Considerably over half of the acreage in Mississippi and Crittenden counties is now in al- falfa, and more will be planted this year, for there is no crop failure. or bad market there. The new hay is bringing around SEQ per ton, and the first cutting shows usually more than ton 10 the acre. The planters will cut their alfalfa four, and possibly five times during the year, ard the crop is harvested by oneforth the field labor that is required in handling cotton. It is only the share croppers of this section of the state who are HOW planting cotton.
 1t will soon be impossible to prevent the spread of the alfalfa fields to all the balck bot 70 m lands of the state, and all these sections will then be prosperous, having three, four and five times a year when money rolls in, in- stead of only once, as in cotton.
 Alfalfa is making our coun- try, is an expression of one of the leading property owners of East Arkansas, who has thous- ands of acres in the forage crop, who speaks as though this tre- mendously fertile country has been on the verge of starvation when raising cotton
