which, under the direction of Miss
Letitia E. Williams, who is in charge
of the drawing and writing, netted the
fund $10.05. On Wednesday night the
Junior High school class gave a play,
The Bachelors Dream" On Thurs
day afternoon the Freshman High
school class gave an indor athletic
meet. On Thursday night was given
an all-star concert, by three members
of the faculty, Miss Henrietta John
son, representing the Department of
Violin, Band and Orchestra music;
Miss Beatrice Lee, representing the
Vocal and Instrumental Music de-
partment, and Miss Ethel Robinson,
the secretary of the school, gave read
ings. On Friday evening the students
dining hall was cleared and teachers
and students assembled for an old
time barn party. All dressed as rustic
lads and lassies and men and women
of the farm. Saturday saw every one
renewing his efforts to reach the goal
OF $500 and the various classes en-
gaging in the sharpest competition to
vim the prizes offered by the Presi-
dent and the Committee. A chicken
dinner was served at noon from which
over $50 were cleared, and refresh
ments sold at the football game, as
at various other occasions during the
week. Saturday might saw the close
of the entertainments, when the Jun
ior Normal class kept the whole
school laughing with a vaudeville en-
tertainment.
Schol was in regular session during
the day, but at meal hours and other
off times all kinds Of methods were
used to raise the funds. The Senior
High class put up a booth and told
fortunes. The Senior Normal class
erected a temporary Dew Drop Inn"
and sold refreshments. The children
of the Model School sold candy. To

Department served nothing sweet dur
ing the week. The kitchen force, un-
uor the OIL MrS. GuYenla
c. Green, cleared $40 on pies in two
days.
Keen as was the rivalry among the
classes, no one dreamed that it would
be as close as it proved to be when
the classes made their final report on
Sunday morning. Three classes re-
ported their complete subscription
within one hour, each class going be-
yond what it had promised to give.
The following sums will give an idea
of how hard the classes worked dur
ing the six days Of the campaign:
The Senior Normal class of eleven
students raised and paid in within the
week 5000, which was $500 more
than it subscribed. The Junior Nor
NAL class of nineteen students raised
and paid in $85, which was s25 more
than it promised. The Senior High

THE INTERSTATE LITERARY AS
ISOLATION OF KANSAS AND
THE WEST.

The Twenty-eighth Annual Session
of the Association will be held in
Wichita, Kansas, on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, December 26, q and
2S, 1918. Every effort is being made
to make this session historic. Twenty
seven years having elapsed since, in
Topeka, the Association was organic
ed, the Executive Committee desires
the active. cooperative support of all
societies, that a program may be pre-
scented commensurate with the occa-
sion; thus making this session a cele-
bration. 1t is desired that every per-
son keep this idea in view.
There will be many new features
this year, including a symposium in
which the Presidents of all colored
colleges of the Middle West have been
asked to serve. Further, the Hon.
James Weldon Johnson of New York
will address this meeting.
There should be no reason so great
that the attendance will suffer. The
great war demands that the darker
races should preserve their education
al societies; that the intellectual eIe-
ments should not be crushed out, but
that they might receive the most scru-
puIous attention in view of the fact
that a reconstruction period must fol-
low this conflict.
Getting behind the Interstate sim
ply means that you are furnishing the
stimulus for inspiration and encour-
agement-a thing every colored per-
son needs in these trying times.
Reasonable rates are offered. The
cost of boarding and rooming facili-
ties will not exceed n dallor and a
half ($1.5O) a day.
Any literary society, debating club,
or other organization rendering pro-
grams of a literary or musical char
acter is eligible to mebership, and will
be admitted upon sending to the Cor
responding Secretary on or before De-
cember first, the name of the organ
ization and city in which such society
is located. If not on the roster of the
1917 session, a membership fee of
$3.50 must be paid. Societies record
ed at the 1917 session retain their
membership, by sending the Core
| spending Secretary $1.00 on or before
December 1, 1918. Each society thus
enrolled is entitled to three delegates
and to be further represented by one
of this number on program.
Contests-One evening will be given
over to contests in oratory, original
poetry, original music, and declama-
ton. To the winners, first and Sec
ond prizes will be awarded. These
contests will be open to anyone ex-
cept persons graduating in any of the
above branches.
Rules. Program number must
be sent to the Corresponding Secre-
tary on or before December l, 1918,
that they may reach the Executive
Committee before the time set to ar
range the program, otherwise they will
not be printed. 2-All papers are linn.
tilted to ten minutes.
If your society is not in session,
convene it. If no society, organize
one. Help us to help our people.
While the literary program will be
the most important feature of the ses-
sion, the social side of life will not
be overlooked.

"Cut out the bunk, and give ship

the real human touch is Charles NJ.
Schwab's prescription for speed-up
work at the ship plants. He urges the
soft pedal on bombastic patriotic
speeches, slogans and posters.
"There is no better agency to distin-
guish between what's commonly known
as bunk and the truly encouraging
word Of the man whose heart and soul
are filled with patriotism than the man
who actually does the hard work he
said last night on his return here from
Washington. OF course, patriotic ad-
dresses are good, and so are posters and
slogans, but the thing is being crassly
oyerdone. The men don't want some
bodys camoufage pushed down their
throats every twenty minutes. They're
doing the hard work, in the sweat OF
their brow and believe me, they know
what's what
