Pleased-Big Meetings
Now Accommodated

From all parts OF the country, from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, men
and boys who were in attendance at
the Sunday School Congress, June
13-1Sth, stopped at the Y. NJ. c. A.
That they were handled with the
utmost care and were well pleased is
probably pretty generally known.
Some few who had been assigned to
private homes, left and came to the
"Y" but no one, so far as is known
who WAS given assignment in the
Association apartments left because
of dissatisfacti 1t was a pleasure
that was mutual. The men and bows
said they would for manv months to
come sing the praises Of the Y. M. c.

of the distinguished visitors ey-
pressed themselves 9s hei1G highly

The United States Bureau of Educa-

school above the elementary grades in
every community in every State of

race groups, is not only the Who's

"doomsday" book showing who is not

or northern, philanthrOpic or denom-

of the schools examined to pass in

Four distinct groups must read or

for criminal negligence and indif-
ference, that is a. all Negroes: (2)

past, great host of solicitors have
almost overwhelmed wealthy contrib
utors to Negro schools and these
donors have been in large measure
in the dark as to the merits of the
various schools for which aid has
been sought. This need not be so any
longer, for every Negro school in the
classes already indicated is repre-
sented and described.
UNCONVENTIONAL Schools.
The various churches which sup
port schools must examine the report
because in number of cases the ed
vocational institutions so supported do
not make the very best showing. For

so much, an invaluable guide to such
institutions as care to conform to
Federal stannards.
The White South and the Report.
The white people of the South have
in their hands the control of public
school education for the Negro. The
report places on record, not unkindly
but impart'ally suggestion of the in
equality of the distribution of the
school funds and the poor equipfent
Of the Negro schools. More than this
the land grant" colleges for Negroes
ir tho South ere all managed by State
boards. In practically every case there
is tuudaI email YEA ness in the sys-
TEN of control so that these schools
have never risen fully to their oppor-
tunities. The South will want to see
the exact criticism, favorable or I'M
favor bic. made in each one of these
schools and the definite recommen-
dations made looking toward improve,
ment and greater efficiency.
Besides, since Negroes are inclined
to live in those places where there are
good schools for their children, the
Southern States, respectively, will be
compared with each other by colored
persons, to the disparagement of
those which make poor showing.
Southern leaders will want to know
how NE states compare with each
other so that progress may be made
n this direction in the backward
States of this section.
Also since the report practically in
7icates by it's criticism definite ideals
of education from the viewpoint OF
the Bureau, the South, whether it ac-
cepts the standards or not, can not
afford to he ignorant of the standards
which the Bureau sets for the schools
for NEGROES OF the country.

Training SchOOl-Buy BoscODel
College.
After years of waiting Nashville
will enjoy the realization of a Theolo-
gic9l Seminary. This announcement
vas made, following the adjournment
of the Executive Committee meeting
Of The National Baptist Convention, UNI
ircJrporatel, which held its session
here last week At the same time
The Executive Committee Of the
Woman's Auxiliary, was holding its
session and joins in the announce
meat. President +. p. Jones, who was
he e, but was called home, opened
he meeting and its deliberations were
presided over throughout the session
by Rev. Robert Mitchell, Of Bowling
Green, Kentucky, president at large.
The Women's Auxiliary was presided
over by Mrs. Georgia DeBaptist Ash
burn of Evanston. Illinois. While the
committees formulated their programs
for their next annual convention to be
held in Atlanta, Georgia, September
BILL, and laid plans for much activity
and constructive work, it was agreed
was the purchasing of the Boscobel
College SITE consisting of four build
in5s, and about seven acres OF land.
These buildings were formerly oc-
cupied as White Female school, and
turing it separation, was one Of the
most exclusive schools of the South.
hpsiasm ran hi"h when the an
nouncement was finally made that the
deal was consumma'ed, and that the
Nero Baptists would have a Theolo-
gical and Training Seminary whereby
its members could be trained as
preachers and teachers.
The property and buildings are
located on Sewer Street in East Nash
vile on one of the highest points on
the East side Of the River, overlooking
the city of Nashville being situated
almost on the banks of the classic Cum
berland. There are two main build
ings siXty-five dormitories in the
principal building with four large
class rooms and heating plant that
was only recently installed at a cost
of five thousand dollars. 1t also has a
music conservatory with nine music
rooms entering into it. On the cam
pus is found magnificent tall Ten
nessee Oaks while the entire campus
is one huge plot of Kentucky Blue
grass. The buildings are the most
modern, as it has only been two years
since the white people suspended
operation on account of the great fire
in East Nashville. Within One-half
day after the announcement was made
that the school could be had, over ten
thousand dollars were subscribed. A
whirlwind campaign throughout the
United States will be made for the

few weeks and it is the plan Oh the
Committee of Management to take
care of the men delegates of both.
1t is now possible for the AssOcia-
tion to furnish rooms for at least $50
young men who may be in need OF a
good and convenient home. The ad-
vantages arising out of such a privi-
lege are too numerous to mention
here. Strangers coming to the city
need not any more trouble the al
ready crowded homes for room and
board. The good people of Nashville
have made sacrifices which have re-
suited in comforts for young men
away from home. They have done
for fellows away from home what
other cities have done for Nashville
young men who so often go away in
search for higher wages and improv-
ed conditions. This will now be a
means for keeping more of them at
home in a happier and a more con-
! tented frame of mind. The Young
Mems Christian Associations which
have grown to such proportions as
this have always proved a benedic-
ton to the entire city in which they
have been located, and it is almost
contain to prove so in Nashville un-
less conditions are vastly different
here from other cities. The people
here are just people like all other
people, exercising good judgment in
some things and poor in others, but
have ever been examined; and there
is no question but that certain de-
finite good will result to the whole
country from the study.

Negro Interest in The Report.

Negroes, first Of all, must examine
the report because most Of the
schools are conducted by them and
they will want to know the opinion of
Government experts relative to the
different Negro schools. In the next
place, running through the whole re-
port is a thread of definite suggestion
as to future lines of work which the
Bureau endorses for all Negro schools.
No Negro whether he approves of the
suggestion or not, has any right to
claim interest in his race until he
has informed himself of this sugges-
ton looking toward more concrete
courses of study.
Again: certain schools are con-
defined outright or their discontinue
ance is boldly recommended on pru-
Dental grounds. At the same time
other schools are warmly commended
and constructive criticisms are made

ford is superintendent. This school
has an enrolment of twenty four
