The progress of the Negro during
the last so years has been marked by
wholesome and steady growth. with
no tendency toward a lapse into the
state of bewilderment which character
lied the business, agricultural and com.
mercial activities of the race imms-
diately after the war. Between 1900
and 1915, for instance, farm property
owned by Negroes has increased 1T
per cent in value-from $177.4O4, 68S
to s492,S92,21s The Negro Business
league has recently published some
statistics which show that since 1900
the number of Negro business enter
prises in this country has increased
from 10000 to $4,000; the number Of
Negro banks from two to 81; the num-
Der Of drug stores, from $50 to 695,
and the number of general retail
stores: from 10000 to $4,000. These
figures show that education and
more comprehensive knowledge of the
possibilities Of freedom are helping
the Negro to do for himself that which
no one can do for him. And it is al
together fitting that leaders Of the
race should agree that it is time to
bring to public attention the achieve
ments Of the race.

poses. The braced gambrel roof, such
~ Is shown in the Illustration, is the
commonest type, but round barns are
frequently built with braced roof.
Either type leaves the entire upper
part of the barn entirely free from all
distractions so that it can be most
readily utilized as a haymow. The
aunobstructed space also allows the in
stallation Of the hay track in the peak
of the roof. The track is fastened to
a collar beam, which is short beam
placed between the upper rafters, and
serves the double purpose Of support
ing the track and bracing the rafters.
Many manufacturers Of the equipment

are easily attached 10 the collar beams
and which support the track down be-

American Woman's Good Work.

Woman as an inventor has not come
before the public very often, but in
the last year Miss Grace Gassette has
made her inventions invaluable to the
American hospital in Neuilly. Miss
Gassette's home was in Chicago be.
fore she went to Paris, where she was
for years painter and sculptor. At
the beginning of the war she offered
her services to the American hospital
at Neuilly and soon her work became
indispensable. Here she found use for
her knowledge of anatomy in invent.
ing apparatus for dressing wounds.
Whenever a soldier who is seriously
wounded is brought to the hospital the
doctor sends for Miss Gassette, who
makes detailed sketch of the kind
Of instrument needed. From this the
workmen construct the delicate ap.
paratus suited to each peculiar wound.

From an essay read at the Industrial
High school commencement by a
young Negro boy, we quote the follow.
ing: The Negro in embryo. is sur
rounded by the shell Of ignorance and
poverty. Outside conditions must be
favorable if he is to come out of his
shell prepared to be an asset and not
liability to the community. The
most illiterate class of people should
have the largest opportunity for get
ting the rudiments of an education in
order that they may not lower the
standard of living in their city. Wheth-

to the within of this class-but they
should be compelled to go. The
