That Howe institute in Memphis is
esteemed as an educational institution
worthy OF the attention OF educators
throughout the South, is attested in an
unsolicited letter received by President
T. o. Fuller from Harry Clark, pro-
fessor Of secondary education OF the

negro schools he has ever visited and
recommends it as completely worthy Of
the generous philanthropy of both
races.
Your teachers and students are both
earnest and hard working, Your class
work is Of a high type. The school has
shown its unquestioned c~apability and
its right to live, and | hope that Howe
institute may secure a worthy endow-
ment so that it may be able to render
the greatest possible service to tho
negro race" wrote Prof Clark.

To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff Is merely
a matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of 1t. Just get
a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend ~it--apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, tluffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and luster, and try as you
will you can not find a trace of dan
druff or falling hair; but your real sur
prise will be after about two weeks
use, when you will see new hair-fine
and downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting over your scalp-Dan-
derine is, we believe, the only sure hair
grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure
for itchy scalp, and 1t never fails to
stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove now pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.

TEACHERS JUNE CHECKS
|MAy INCLUDE LONGEVITY

There was every indication today
that the public school teachers of the
District will get their full pay, includ-
ing longevity, for June.
Discovery early this month of a
shortage in the longevity fund made
it impossible to give the teachers full
pay for May. 1t was learned. how
ever, that school officials and authori-
ties at the District building are seek
ing today to make an arrangement
whereby the full salaries will be avail
able for the teachers at the end Of
this month.
When the longevity shortage caused
a reduction in their pay envelopes for
May the teachers saw visions of a
similar cut this pay day. The details
of the arrangement under which the
auditor expects to be able to give the
teachers full pay for June could not
be learned up to noon.
Both school and District officials
hope to get a deficiency item through
Congress imm ediately providing for
the back pay which the teachers lost
in May.
