Klndergartens for colored children
are being adopted in different parts OF
the South as one of the agencies for
improving social conditions that have
troubled two generations. Richmond,
Va, has lately opened an experimental
kindergarten which has already Gre
ated such interest among Negro pa.
rents and the school authorities that
II is expected II will soon be made per
manent. The Richmond kindergarten
was opened by the National Xinder-
garten association OF New York at the
request OF Richmond people who knew
OF the success of the demonstration
given among colored children at Chat.
tanooga, Tenn, where the local associa.
tion assumed the care and support OF
the school. Kindergartens for white
children in the South have also been
started by the association and later
carried on locally.

No Fortune Telling In Germany.

Fortune tellers now are forbidden
to practice in any part of the German
empire. Soon after the war broke
out, they began to do an enormous
business with relatives Of soldiers in
the field, who wanted to know how
things were going with them. Visits
to the fortune tellers often had tragic
consequences, as many of the callers
were in a high state Of nervous ten
sion. The uncertainty of relatives re-
garding their men folk at the front
has been aggravated by an alleged
muddle Of the field postal organiza-
tion, which is being severely criti-
sized by the newspapers.

The Delaware state board of educa-
ton has received communication
from the Negro teachers in the district
south OF Wilmington In which It is
asserted that the condition in the Ne
gro schools is deplorable.
II is alleged that teachers are en-
ployed who are not properly qualified;
that the clerks in many districts dis
burse the taxes without accounting to
the district; that in many instances
the state dividend is not sufficient to
pay the teachers salaries and in such
cases It is necessary for the teacher
TO give entertainments to raise the
necessary amounts, all of which tends
TO be detrimental TO the schools
They suggest that conditions would
be improved II county commissions or
superintendent are empowered to fix
the tax for double the amount of dupli.

the hearty Endorsement Of leading
American and foreign educators.

words of explanation. IF a man is
looking for sure way to benefit the
Negro race or the Indian race in the
United States, let him send money to

strictions concerning its use. He will
surely get large return In benef-

peace and prosperity of this country

Hampton and / love her more and

the Negro knowledge, but is seeing
and reaching the needs of the race as
no other institution is doing.

most distinguished graduate. "Hamp-

Surprising Growth in Schools

The Williams schools are experi- encing very rapid growth. The enrolment has now passed the 27O mark, and it is expected that a few more enrollments will be made yet this fall.
 Last year the enrollm ent sur passed the number requisite for securing the establishment of a high school, by a small margin. The fact that this margin has been ma terially increased this year, is good proof of two facts: first, that there was good reason for establishing a high school; and, second, that the establishment of high school is a strong drawing card for a school.
 Nor has the growth been confined entirely to the matter of enrolment. New courses have been added and the work has been made more com prehensive and more thorough. Williams had good reason to be proud of her schools, before, and she has doubly good reason to be proud of them, now.

A P|T|FUL ACCIDENT

Tuesday morning a little Ital- ian boy, but two years and two months old. was struck by log car at the Mill and severely injured. He was rushed to Dr. Melick's of flee where his injuries were treated and is expected to recover except for the the loss of his right hand which was cut off by the car.
 The child seemed to have wan- dered from home and over by the log cars, unknown to the men at the mill. AS Mir. Souder loosened the brakes on a car which he in- tended to run down for unloading. He heardthe scream of a child just as the car started and stopped the car as quickly as he could. Get ting down from the Car, he saw the little boy lying where he had been thrown, apparently dead. Mr. Souder went to report the accid ent and in the mean time the child re- covered consciousness and began to scream for its mother.
 Just then Mrs. Geo. Rounseville, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Dye hap pened long in the Rounseville car on their way out to Mrs. Dermont's residence. They picked up the , child and rushed it to pr. Melick' S office where it was treated. Later the identity of the child was learn ed and the mother came and took it home.

To hear all this talk about the deer hunts that are to begin to- morrow, makes one think that there wont be anybody home in williams for several days to come. We mean this in the literal sense, to be sure, in by no means in the figurative sense. And say, we do love ven- ison.
 The old saying that where there is much smoke there must be some blaze, still holds true,. In spite of the German ambassadors declara- ton that the story of the massacre of Christians in Turkey is pure fabrication, we can't help believing that there is much truth in the re- ports. Surely the Kultur of Ger many must be greatly shocked by the atrocities being committed by her ally. Even if the number masscared should prove to be fifty thousand instead of five hundred thousand, such savagery would wiring protest from Germany.
 One of our Local boys was arrest ed Monday charged with re eceiving shipment of the forbidden joy juice, and is now awaiting trial. From what the reporter could learn this is not the first shipment that has been recieved and then later delivered to the consignee. It does not seem to be the intension of the officers to punish the young man who has wife and children but they do desire to reach the man higher up. It is reported that if the young man has to pay a fine that some of the business men who are directly interested will pay it for protection. But then what about the jail sentence. Who will settle with your Uncl, Samuel? Aye there is the rub.

Dunn, County Ass essor, returned on Tue sday from a tour of inspection to Fredonia,- north of the Grand Canyon They went by the way of Bar stow and Salt Lake City, and from Salt Lake City by rail and auto to Fredonia. They found the people over there prospering and glad to have the officers of the county visit their part of the country. They found that they needed some help in the way of roads and bridges in order to develop their country. Crops [ were very good there this year and the stock is looking good. The people are very anxious to have a way out of that part of the state to both Williams and Flagstaff, in order to deliver their products to this part of the state. It is found that by spend ing Comparatively little money a road could be constructed and thus bring an immense amount of grain and other products to our very doors.
 Both Uncle Tom and MT. Dunn were very much pleased with what they saw and are loud in their praise of the treat ment by the Fredoniaites. They returned by way of the Bright Angel Creek and the Bright Angel Trail to the Grand Canyon, making the trip in about four days.
