Admiral Fletcher said the officers had
been impressed by the interest that has
been taken in the navy by the people Of
New York He added that battleships
alone were inadequate and become q
prey to torpedo boats. submarines and
mines, and that 1t Is necessary to have
different types of vessels to compete
with them and protect the battleships.
He also emphasized the need Of large
scouting cruisers, destroyers and sub
marines
Mai Gen. Wood said It was very i'm
portant to the government that the
navy should grow and that 1t must
grow to be adequate.
In speaking of the militia, Gen. Wood
said that to be an effective support and
part of the first line defense it has got
to become very much more federaltzed.
Otherwise, he said, the nation would
have to wage war in the future as it
has in the past, 'tas confederacy."

The Colored Schools

| take ti,is as a means of giving
the public a idea Of what the
colored people are doing to push the
Educational movement.
Sunday March 18th, there was an
Educational Rally given at Salter
Chapel A. NJ. E. church, for the bene-
fit of the colored school, and neted
the school 1894. The colored
patrons of the school have been en-
ploying two teachers for the ses-
sion and have been able to pay
them up every month as regular as
the city pay roll was due. They
have lost no time in putting forth
effort to educate their children, and
need to be commended. In the
Rally wish to commend the pas
tor of the lst Baptist church in per-
son of Rev. |. H. Perkins and Rev.
Masses, of End Baptist church, and
Rev. Graham, of Metropolitan
church, Rev. Pleasant, of Holiness,
R. C. Whalem, Of M. E., and their
CONGREGATIONS who 50 earnestly
worked for the success of the rally.
The public school wishes to pay
special tribute to Rev. John Baptisto
pastor of the Salter A. M. E. church
who gave the school the church for
the day, and who has always push
ed the educational cause whenever
he has pastored, He bears the re-
cord of having done as much for
public schools in his community as
any other preacher in the state,
and now has helped lay the founda-
ton for a future success for the
Bogalusa colored schools. We can
not say to much good for him. Rev.
Baptisto has long since been carry
ing out this request of Bishop Cor.
mer who in his last conference at
Covington ask that the pastors
lengthen the public terms when
they were to short for the colored
children. For that he praised, and
is the first in the state to attempt
to carry out the Bishops wish.
And again we wish to compli-
ment the entire PASTORAL force of
the colored churches because they
have always stood by the school
and heIped 1t 90 When 1t seems
almost impossible to 60. Now with
these preachers at our side the
colored school will soon number A
along with the best schools in the
state.
The revival meeting is on at
Bethlehem Baptist church Of which
Rev. |. H. Perkens is pastor, assist
ed by Rev. Underwood, Of New Or
leans, and they are doing great work
also Rev. John Bepliste, of A. M. E.
church, is doing great work.
