WILL SEEK 100000
Needs of CoIored College Set
Forth by DR.. Durkee, Its
President.

Howard UniveI sity, founded in 1865
by Gen. 0. O. Howard, needs at once
an emergency repair and current ta-
pense fund of al least $4,000, accord
ing to announcement made today BY
DR. j. Stanley Durkee, president OF
the university Contributions may be
sent to Emmett J. Scott, secretary OF
the university. or to President Durkee.
THE university plant in many i'm
portant respects is greatly in need OF
repairs. while the need Of money for
ctrrent expenses is always pressing
and immediate" declared DR.. Durkee.
"The present restricted income OF the
university interferes with its growth
and development.
"At time like this when there are
so many calls for money, educationa
institutions for colored youth are
likely to be overlooked. but II IS my
earnest hope that an institution as
useful as Howard University may not
be compelled to SuHer LOT l"ch VI
proper support.
+, Bases Appeal on Record.
"t1oward University bases its appeal
TO the public upon the record of it's
graduates, their place of leadership
among the colored people and upo~
its proved usefulness during the last
fifty-four years. 1t is the only negro
university exclusively devoted to col
legiate and professional WORK
at trains a larger number OF negro
college and professional students than
any other institution OF learning IN
the world. 1t is located at the heto
of the black belt, and sends into the
heart of the black belt of the south
a larger number of college and pro-
fessional graduates than any other
negro institution The steadying.
molding influence for good of these
| leaders has been incalculable.
Rendered Patriotic Service.
During the recent war the univcr-
| sity rendered service to our govern
ment of the highest and most patri-
/ otto character. II had more Gradu-
| ates and former students to receive
commissions and serve as oihcerS
with colored military units than any
! other institution in America for the
, training of negro youth.
THE complete facilities of the uni
versity were placed at the disposal OF

| Training Corps and officers Training
| Corps units were trained at the uni
versity. The student Army instruc-
ton camp for seventy colored insti-
| buttons of learning was also conducted
here.
In all. 1.7S6 men were trained for
war work at Howard University. The

| 1870 was 1860, from thirty-seven

NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP
One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
Of Seaiskins and Another En-
ployed Only Snow.

One Of the queerest churches ever
known was built by a missionary on
Blackhcad island, in Cumberland
sound. Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services. the missionary
started to build 4 church of the skins
of seals, no wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and
stretched over %"sirders" of whalebone,
empty provision tins serving as seats.
The cold ut one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
fee and began consuming it, with the
result that when morning came there
was not a skin left. the whalebone
ribs alone remaining to show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary in charge Of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe.
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit, altar and interior equip
ment were made of snow. and in the
matter of warmth no stOne-built
church could beat it.
