How to help colored children in the
public schools toward a more hopeful
future than present social conditions
promise them, was discussed by edu-
Gators, welfare workers, and city Of
ficials at a conference held April 29 at
$50 East Twenty-second street, by the
Public Education association.
The association recently issued a re-
port on "Colored School Children in
New York" prepared by Miss Frances
Blascoer, which, made after a careful
investigation, outlines the needs of
the 10000 Negroes in the city, and
gives specific recommendations for
improving the conditions under which
they live. This report was the basis
of discussion at the conference.
Miss Eleanor Hope Johnson, chair
man of the committee on hygiene of
school children of the association,
says in the introduction to the report:
I'VE are constantly learning,
through the Interpretation by sympa-
thetic students of various races of i'm
migrants, the several ways in which
these aliens may contribute to Jul ma
tional life; and each discovery, espe-
cially in the different fields of art, is
halted with joy by constructive patri-
OTIS. Surely it is time for the Negro
to be considered in the light of a ma
tional asset, and his loyalty. patience.
sympathetic kindness, and artistic
instinct be counted on as real contri-
buttons to our national welfare.
THE report gives few, perhaps no,
recommendations that would not apply
to the children of other races. Where
the application is more true in regard
largely because of this lack of equal
justice in the cases of their parents.
Race weakness appears, but this could
easily be balanced by the same or
similar weakness in other races.
Given an education carefully adapted
to his needs and a fair chance for EN-
ployment, the normal child of any race
will succeed, unless the burden of
wrong home conditions lies too heavily
upon him. Any philanthropic effort for
the encouragement or improvement of
these children, to be successful, must
take into account their peculiar vir-
tues-affection, loyalty. home-loving
spirit-not their defects. 1t is this
conclusion of the report which applies
to colored children more than to the
children of any other race, and should
make them easier rather than harder
to help in their climb upwards. Our
country has a very real debt to pay,
and it can be paid only by helping
these children to find for themselves
the place in our nation which shall
contribute most to their own and its
development.-New York Evening
Post.

The Bird Or the Cat?

The Bird or the Cat?" has become a scratch
ing subject which is making the feathers ny IN
many a heretofore peaceful neighborhood. Bro
lovers who have attempted to establish sanctu-
aries for their feathered friends have been CON-
PEELED to revise their visiting lists according 10
where her royal highness. Tabbykins, holds sway.
The bird man who has found to his sorrow that
any bird and cat combination means catastrophe
even while he is taking the mangled body OF the
little feathered tenant, that he has worked for
months to attract, from the clutches OF the lnno-
cent-looking, fluffy, fourfooted murderer, Will De
assailed by the c~at-owner who Indignantly de-
clares that while other low-bred creatures may
catch birds, she knows her own blueblooded
darling Flufykins is too well bred and too well
fed to do such a deed!
Naturallsts statistically rank the felis domes-
ticus as third in the bird-destroying agents, hold
ing every roaming cat responsible for the lives OF
at least fifty birds a year. A game warden who
reports 200 quail killed by a mother cat in less
than a year on the game preserve advocates the
wholesale determination of cats under the super
vision of a game warden.
The value of the cat to catch mice or rats is
disputed by a bird enthusiast, who maintains that
this Nero of the animal world will hush forever
the joyous song of any little feathered chorister
simply for his own amusement when not in need
of food. When he dimes he goes after a cold bird
in preference to any other delicacy, and will
catch mice or rats only as a last resort to keep
from starving.
The most serious arraignment against both the
domestic and stray cat is made by the boards
of health, who have found these animals to be
carriers of scarlet fever. diphtheria and other
diseases most fatal to their human associates.
A successful business man says that If a cat
kills a little chicken in the yard of the average
farmer, the cat is made away with. If the four
footed hunter comes home with a quail, he is
petted; yet the quail is of greater economic value
to the farmer than is either the cat or the
chicken. He thinks, for humane reasons, the wild
or stray cat left on abandoned farms should be
put out of the way.
A cat-a-comb, where feline providers may be laid
permanently to rest, is considered a necessary
adjunct to every bird sanctuary by a bird con-
servationist, who has tried, without success, vari-
Gus methods to prevent cats from killing helpless
song and iEsectivorous birds so valuable to man.
Another long sufferer from cat depredations con-
siders a nearby deeper bath, in which to i'm
merse and leave the savage depredators, is the
only way in which a bird bath may be maintained.
Some friends of the birds think to license the
cat and hold the owner responsible for his pets
destructiveness will solve not only the vexing cat,
but also the kitten. question. They conclude that

ont n desert his cat, leaving it dependent upon
hunting for a living.
Ontimists who still believe that cat nature may
be educated or restrained, suggest that bells ana
bright ribbon be placed on pussy SO that a warn
ing will precede her fatal spring. Others advo-
cate that the poles or trees on which bird houses
are placed should be sheathed in tin or wrapped
in barb wire to prevent the cat from climbing
up and destroying the half-grown nestlings before
they can fly to safety. A thorny rose bush Is
advised by another humane person; but the ever
present cynic thinks it much better to plant the
cat at the roots of the rose bush, where he is
sure in time to evolve into harmless fertilizer.

Editor of the Washington Herald:
In the Herald of April 20 appears a
notice to the effect that the body of
Lieut.. Beverly Perea, U. s. A., brought
from Cambridge, Mass, was the first
colored officer to be buried in the
Arlington National cemetery.
This statement is not correct, as the
bodies of both DR.. Alexander T. Au-
gusta, surgeon, Seventh U. S. G. in
fantry, surgeon in chief Of Freeman's
hospital, and for many years a prac-
ticing physician in this city, and Capt.
o. s. B. Wall Of this city have been
buried in the Arlington National ceme-
terry, for many years, both being buried
in the officers section, with monu-
ments standing over their graves; the
former officers grave is close to the
gate and the latter not far removed
therefrom.
In addition to these two officers Of
whose burial l have personal knowl-
edge (and there may be others of
whom l have no ~knowledge) there are
hundreds of colored soldiers buried in
Arlington.
The records at Arlington will con-
firm the facts as stated.

your paper to publish only facts, l am
