Instances Of the same kind are not
numerous, and yet they can be found
in practically all the large cities of
this state. If the colored pupils do not
capture the highest honors as did those
Of Hoboken and Jersey City goodly
proportion of them prove. to be ener-
getic, studious, mentally capable and
quite as competent to pursue the
courses of study as are the white chill
dren. SO far as public school educa-
ton Is concerned, there Is no color line
in New Jersey and no withholding of
honors fairly won by industry and ap-
plication. ~..
Judging from the recent action Of
the June graduating class Of the East
Orange high school in attempting to
exclude the Misses Isabella and Irene
Vandervall, members of the class, from
participating in the class dances, 1t
would seem that sentiment in favor Of
intelligence, honesty and high moral
character has suddenly undergone q
radical change.
1.-THE young ladies In question are the
daughters Of Mr.. James N. Vandervall,
a well known and highly respected bus
mess man of East Orange. He Ia the
owner of the Essex Steam Carpet
Cleaning works and owns other valu-
able property besides"
Miss Vandervall was only sixteen
when she graduated from the East
Orange high school. Not being of ell
gible age to enter medical college,
she did postgraduate work at the high
school In East Orange for one term.
Miss vandervall completed her medical
course at the New York Medical col
lege, New York city, in June, with high
honors. She was awarded the prize
for having maintained the highest ef-
fciency of any student In her class dur
ing the entire course of four years. Her
average was 97.8 per cent.
The graduation exercises Of the New
York Medical College and Hospital For
Women were held In the Astor CALLER.
les Of the Waldorf-Astoria. Miss Van
dervall received her honors with the
grace of modesty which has character
tied her actions throughout her student
career. She is the only woman Of our
race who has graduated from the New
York Medical College and Hospital For
Women during the fifty-two years Of
its existence. Not only did Miss Van
dervall win the prize at the recent June
commencement, but she has been
awarded prize at the end Of the term
for the past three years and has also
stood at the head Of class Of ten
women and was the youngest student
In her class.
She has been appointed as an inferno
at the hospital for women and children
at Syracuse, New York. Miss Wander
vail entered upon her new duties at
the hospital in Syracuse the first week

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.


Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part Of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life Of the
masses is the only solution.
AS with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about . reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when It comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really Is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another
Often the foremost woman in the
church is. so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street Her
home is a hangout for sliding elders"
and ioafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder. ...a. ..
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches ali kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young. aa=
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered. = -. j. -..- ..s--

SAMUEL WILLIAMS VIEWS.

Questions Wisdom Of Georsia's Pro.
posed Color Line Law For Teachers.
There is much logic in the article Of
Mr.. Samuel Williams Of Windsor, Vt,
with reference to the attitude of the
Georgia legislature toward white teach
ers in schools for colored people. Mr..
Williams says: -s-
I learned through the newspapers
recently that measure had been
passed by one branch of the legisla-
ture Of the state Of Georgia barring
white teachers from colored schools
For the honor of that state, the nation
and the constitution it is to be hoped
It will fail to become law, as it GER
tainly could not be classed as construc-
tive legislation such as the age and
the times demand. .a..s s.f
After the civil war, when things be-
came somewhat settled, many white
ladies in the south, being reduced in
circumstances, entered schools that
had been established for colored chill
dren as teachers. Some had been large
slave owners, and their object was not
purely mercenary. They desired to re-
pair in part the damage done by the
cruel system of which they had form
ed a part.
They began their labors, it is true,
with no very high opinion of the men
tai capacity Of the Negro, but soon
learned to love their work, and in
many instances showed tender solici-
tude for those under their care, visit
ed them In sickness and personally
sought the tardy and delinquent.
During my later school years 1t was
my good fortune to have as teachers
three ladies Of the class to which re-
fer, and when / was about to leave
school IL was one Of these who grasp
ed my hand and babe me godspeed.
While remember with deepest graf
itude the great benefits / had received
in my earlier years from that noble
band Of men and women Of the north
who came down to the south, Drawing
abuse from the rabble and ostracism
from the thoughtless people Of that
section, am glad to offer my humble
testimony to the zeal and devotion Of
those southern white women.
Their mantle may have fallen on 9TH
ers who today even In the state Of
Georgia may be laboring side by side
with the good men and women from
the north who are successfully striv-
ing to prepare the Negro more fully to
discharge the high responsibilities Of
American citizenship.
Soon this nation may be called upon
~ the champion Of liberty to make
good our claim by representing to the
world bold and undivided front, but
how shall we do 80 while 10,0O0.0O0
of loyal citizens are ruthlessly and
continually Disseminated against?
What we need at this time as never
before are such measures as tend to
harmonic the various elements that
enter into the development OF that lib
erty Of which Lincoln spoke at Gettys-
burg.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

I. It teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of 1t are unchristian and cruel eff
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker.
2. 1t combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
8. It aims to bring about such
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations of
life.
4. It believes in and teaches the doc
trine OF the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in our Amer
lean civilization.
5. II aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage OF anti-race inter-marriage
laws.
6. 1t is composed of members of both
/ races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.

100000 ACRES OF
land | | \ !! J! ARE IRE FOR SALE
Sell On An Average Of Between 81
and $8 Per Acre; State Policy to .
Sell to Actual Settlers.
(By J: A. Q. P'r,e.'u'.s.) Z
State Auditor

The state. of Minnesota still has
more than 100000 acres Of land for
sale. Its policy is as nearly as pos
sible to sell lands to actual settlers.
The legislature has determined that
monthly sales must be held in nine
different counties in Northern Min
nesota at the court houses. Three
hundred and twenty acres can be
sold to any individual and all lands
are sold at public auction. Fifteen
per cent cash must be paid down and
the balance may be paid any time
within forty years at four per cent
interest. The lands are largely cut
over lands and some of them are
swamp lands. Many of these lands
are at reasonable proximity to mar
kets, schools and churches. Legal
descriptions of the lands for sale may
be obtained from J. "A. o. Preus,
state auditor.
Minimum is SIS Per Acre. 81: =. ..
The lands this year have sold on an
average of between 81 and So per
acre. The minimum appraisement
on any parcel is SIS per acre. Min
nesota has 10000 farmers and the
average size of each farm is 16O
acres and it's average value about
$4,000. Minnesota has a larger
school fund than any state in the
Union. The proceeds from all,
school lands and swamp lands go in
to the permanent school fund.
The trust funds are at the present
time as follows: -:y ..:-.~..

In addition to it's agricultural
wealth, Minnesota has three large.

mate population of 100000; St. Paul,
275,OOO and Duluth, 100000.
63 Per cent Iron Ore Produced.
Minnesota is not only an agricul-
tural state. 1t produces more iron
ore than any other state in the union
and in fact more than 63 per cent
of the iron ore of the entire nation
each year, or nearly one-fourth of all
the iron ore in the world. The as
sessed valuation of Minnesota's min
ing properties so far discovered is
$l,468, 100000 which then is one
half Of it's actual value. Of this the
state of Minnesota owns approxi-
mately ten per cent which is leased
to mining companies at rs cents per
ton. The proceeds from these mines
go into the states permanent trust
funds. Only their accumulations
can be expended by the state legis-
lature and these only in the manner
prescribed in the laws regulating our
trust funds.

Roofs don't wear out, they dry out.
Certain-teed roofing is guaranteed TO

Other roofing, which claim to be as

sell for about half the price of Ger
tainted to place them on an equal
basis.
