INFLUENCE OF HAMPTON.

Mics Bertha Condo Delivers Instructive
Address at Noted Virginia School.
The name Hampton when applied to
the Hampton (Va) Normal and Agri-
cultural institute is a name to be con-
jured with From this school went
possibly the first, and certainly the
best, prepared group of colored teach
ers who served faithfully In the coun-
try schools not many years after the
close Of the civil war. The influence
of the Hampton institute has been and
is blessing to humanity.
One Of the most recent and helpful
additions to the institute is branch of
the Young Women's Christian associa-
ton. Il has brought some interesting
speakers 30 the school. Recently Miss
Bertha Condo, senior student secretary
Of the National Y. M. G. A. board,
spoke to the school at the chapel serv-
Ice. She told the students q little
about the Worlds Student Christian
federation, which Is composed Of stu
dents in all parts Of the world, and
urged them to give in their lives the
answer to the question which people
everywhere are asking today, what
Is there In Jesus Christi"
Miss Condo said that Christ Is on
trial today, as he was in Pilates time
As PLATE had the power to release him
or to cruelty him, so have we, and we
must decide which we are going to do.
PLATE heard voices saying things
against Christ, land their voices pre-
vailed Ambition, pride and selfish
ness are the voices that drown the call
Of Christ today, and we must not let
them prevail, but must come out clear
~ and allow him to be the greatest
power In our lives. a..s..

BIG VICTORY FOR THE RACE.
Commission Votes Down Clarence
Poe's Race Segregation Plan.

Commission Votes Down Clarence
Poe's Race Segregation Plan.
The university commission on the
southern race question, which held its
meeting at Durham, N. c., recently,
voted down Clarence Poe's proposition
for race segregation with a decided
emphasis.
Mr.. Poe's proposition included three
parties to the race problem, as follows:
First, the Negro; second, the wealthy
or professional white man unaffected
by Negro competition; third, the poor
laboring white man who does and must
face such competition. II would not
have less sympathy or thought for the
Negro, but more for the disadvantaged
white man." says Mr.. Poe In his pleas
to keep alive the flames Of race preju-
dice.
II hope your commission win study
this third factor and also inquire II
separate grouping does not encourage
better Negro leadership and communi-
ty life. Also make a study Of mulatto
traits and achievements as distinguish
ed from pure Negro and inquire 10
what extent mulattoes are increasing"

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 10 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 50 far from a 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 ali. 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, the 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.
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 aft kinds of trouble.
What we need Is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type Of women In our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
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-
iivered.

The society employs nearly 800 mem
bers Of our race among its workers and

alteration Of cases involving d1scrim-
nation on account Of color. ....

opposed the food Of legislation hostile
to coiored people introduced into the
SixV-third congress; defeated the at
tempt made to segregate colored peo-
pie IN the civil service Of the United
States; appeared through counsel In
the grandfather cases" recently ruled
upon by the supreme court In one Of
the most important decisions in its his
tory; opposed segregation ordinances
In Baltimore, Louisville and St Louis,
carrying the Louisville ordinance up to
the supreme court, where 1t Is to be
argued by counsel representing this
association.
It also gave publicity to the dangers
Of proposed farm segregation in North
Carolina which would prevent colored
people from buying farm land; made
an investigation Of jimcrow cars and
has nearly perfected legal case to
test the. Oklahoma law in order to pre-
sent the question to the interstate com
merce commission with the object OF
securing equal accommodations fol

to which objection was made out OF
two states and several cities and In
