HAMPTON SUMMER SCHOOL
ENDS SUCCESSFUL SESSION
Many Teachers Hear Series of Lectures
by Dr.. George e. Haynes.

Hampton, Va.-The summer school
at Hampton institute has closed one Of
its most successful sessions The at
tendance was larger than it was in
1915. Ill the southern states had large
representations among the teachers,
and there was a considerable number
from other sections. North Carolina
had the largest number, there being
1873 teachers from that state.
Among the good things enjoyed by
the teachers was series of lectures
and discussions conducted by DR..
George e. Haynes, executive secretary
Of the National League on Urban Con-
ditions Among Colored People, and
professor Of social science at Fisk uni
versity. These lectures attracted much
attention and favorable comment from
all sides. This course of lectures dis
cussed the causes of and methods to
check migration Of colored people from
the country to the city, occupations
and wages and how to organize Negro
occupations for improving efficiency
and wages. ---..s --..--.... aa-z
The course included also discussions
Z {. tuberculosis, hookworm and typhoid
fever in their connection with low
wages, low grade Of industrial intelli-
gence and low standards Of living
among colored people.
Through the whole series of lectures
DR.. Haynes made application Of the
Information to actual conditions in ru-
raj and city localities where teachers
are working. Many Of the teachers
conferred with the lecturer from day
to day about problems in their own
communities. So pleased were the
teachers that at the closing lecture
they rendered the speaker an enthusi-
astic vote Of thanks and appreciation
and pledged active cooperation in the
community betterment movement he
Is leading.
These lectures are q part Of plan
for promoting community betterment
conducted by the national and the So
cial science department Of Fisk uni
yersity. Similar lectures have been
given the past two summers at the
Agricultural and Industrial State Nor
NAL school, Nashville, Tenn; the Flor
ida State Agricultural and Mechanical
college, the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute,
Virginia Union university and at the
West Virginia Collegiate institute sum-
mer school.

ARDENT MASONIC WORKER.
How ]. H. Sherwood is Winning His
Spurs on Merit.

Jose Henry Sherwood, we'll known
in Masonic circles in this and many
other sections of the country, is a
native of Macon, Go, where he re-
ceiVed the rudiments of his educa-
ton.
Upon leaving the far South, young
Sherwood located in St. Louis for
about five years and took up his res
idence in st. Paul in 1895, and for
thirteen years has been clerk in the
Post Office. His activities in relig-
ious circles have centered in the
Protestant Episcopal Church. For
some time he was lay reader in
charge of the St. Philips Mission.
He was initiated in Triangle Lodge
No. 50, F. A. A. NJ, West Superior,
Wis, Jurisdiction of Illinois, 1896
Admitted into Perfect Ash1ar Lodge
No. 4, ST. Paul, year later. Passed
the Oriental chair June "a, 1902;
served as Worshipful Master three
years and as Secretary about ten
years. He was elected Grand Secre-
tary in 1906 and Grand Master in
1909, serving three terms. He en-
tered the Scottish Rite June E, 1907,
and was elevated to $50, May 10, 1912.
Mr.. Sherwood succeeded in reor-
ganizing Fezzan Temple in St. Paul
in 1908 and was appointed Potentate
by the Deputy and was elected to that
position the following year, after
which he served two terms as Record
er and was elected Imperial Chief
Rabban 1910 at Detroit, Deputy I'm
perial Potentate 1911 at Atlantic
City, reelected at Washington in 1912
and again at indianapolis 1913. He is
High Priest of Bethel Chapter R. A.
NJ, and Grand Generalissimo of the
Grand Commandery of Missouri, this
being his second term.
Noble Sherwood has been in many
movements in his city during the past
ten years that pointed toward the bet
terment of his people.
He is intensely proud of the past
as we'll as present achievements of
his race and has great faith in its
future. Young, energetic and am
bilious, Mr.. Sherwood is always
working for the interests of Freema-
sonry, Shrinedom and the Negro.
He is an active worker for the Asso-
citation for the Advancement of COL
ored People.-The Recorder.

ments to meet the demand Of the times
He is also planning to put in opera
ton the Booker II. Washington social
center, which he has succeeded in Or
ganizing since he has been at Peoria.
He is successful pastor, social work
er and f1nancier His social center rep
resents the best white people Of the
community. His own board repre-
sents the best colored people Of the
community. His idea is to form a
common basis upon which the two
races can work together for the COM
mon good Of the community. With his
patience, experience and the assistance
of his accomplished wife he is bound to
succeed. He is broad enough to work
with all denominations. He Is presi-
dent Of a branch Of the National Asso-
citation For the Advancement Of Col
ored People.

ers who could deal with the problems
of his race. For some time he worked
in Chicago, doing general uplift and
Young Mems Christian association
work. In this he met with success.
Hearing of congregation Of Baptists
in Joliet, this state, discouraged and
ready to disband, he decided to 60
them and lend helping hand. He felt
that it was there God would use him.
Reaching Joliet, he found a very small
number Of the members engaged in
prayer meeting. He did not hesitate,
but at once took hold. This caused the
people to open their eyes, and they de-
cided at once that he was a God sent
man. They saw in him leader Of rare
ability, the man just needed at that
time in Joliet.
1t was in May, 1911, that he took
charge of the church. He studied the
work in all of its phases, and, finding
a large Indebtedness, he decided that
the first thing to do was to get rid of
debt, because he considered IT hard to
serve God when laden with debt. The
building could almost be classed with
the ancient ruins. 1t was but short
time when the Indebtedness Of $412
was paid, and then the pastor filled the
members with enthusiasm when he
suggested a new building.
Having the confidence of the people
and having outlined to the bankers of
the town and other professional and
business white men his plans and what
he intended to do for his people, he
was told by them to 60 ahead, and
they got behind him. He believed not
alone in preparing people for eternity,
but to live down here on earth. "Teach
men how to live and they will have all
eternity to find out about heaven" was
one Of his declarations.
The Rev. Mr.. Cartwright accepted
the call to the pastorate Of the Mount
Zion Baptist church, Peoria, ILL.,, against
the protest of his Joliet people, white
and colored, because 1t was a larger
field Of usefulness for him and his
faithful wife. He began his pastorate
at Peoria in August, 1915, and so far
the usual success that is common to
the fidelity and integrity Of jealous
pastor is evident. Already many new
members have been added to the con-
gregation, and, according to the report
Of the Mount Zion church at the Sun.
day school convention at Decatur, ILL.,.
held recently, they ayera ged more than
200 month for the last quarter.
The Rev. Mr.. Cartwright Is man
Of vision and untiring energy. His
plan now is to raise $1,000 this fall,
cancel the debt against the church
property and make necessary improve

Mrs. lawton Discusses the Importance
Of Good Home Training.
In her annual address to the Empire
State Federation of Women's Clubs.
held recently at Poughkeepsie. Mrs.
NJ. G. LawtOn, president. in part said:
"Our women have discovered the
pivotal point of all racial life-the
home, the seat of government from
which all others must emanate.
"Good homes make good girls; good
girls, good women; good women a
righteous nation. The greatest clog
In the wheel Of human progress today
is the lack Of home training.
IF we, as mothers, would spend half
the time teaching our children the IA
therhoOd of God and the brotherhood
Of man that we do in teaching them
race antipathies our homes would be
towers Of strength and our government
a stalwart bulwark Of justice. The
cOlored women have before them
through their club work an opportunity
to teach the world that there is neither
time nor place in its history for racial
hostilities; that the right to avenge
wrong belongs wholly to God.
"We live in an age when the world
is humming and buzzing with live is
sues, issues which touch the lives Of
every nationality, and we realize that
what affects one race. whether it be a
tenth or a whole, whether economical
ly morally or mentally affects the hu-
man race in its entirety.

must strike our first bic Y for the
