The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1920-12-18

penned some letters, IN passing through
the Jail we noticed the seafold 90 the
third floor of the Jail, where it stands
ready and waiting for its victims.
In vending our way through the
buildings we ran right into the two
large rooms in the Juvenile Court
Building which were filed with white
girls and boys and with eolored girls
and boys, Mrs. Lyons was the motheTly
matron of the white girls and boys and
she was ever so pleasant and with
much pride she brought forth for our
inspection many beautiful table searfs,
napkins and much other fancy needle
work which had been wrought by some
Of the bright boys and girls who are
in her charge, she also exhibited some
nail and floor brushes which had been
brought forth by them before with
drawing from the room Mrs. Lyons
wanted to know if we would not speak
few words of encouragement to the
boys and girls and impart some sound
advice to them and after cheerfully
complying to her request in that re-
speet and after shaking hands with
many of the little girls and boys Mrs.
Lyons escorted us into the rooms Oeeu-
pied by the eolored boys and girls and
introduced us to Mrs. Young, Matron
or Superintendent, and Mrs. Lyons in
formed Mrs. Young that we had ad-
dressed her children and that she must
invite us to speak to the girls and
boys under her control and after her
many bright girls and boys had dis
played the many lovely and useful
articles which they had executed; in
the way of fancy needle work, table
searfs, floor brushes and many other
articles of true merit, in fact the chill
dren drink in a regular course in indus
trial training and with much pleasure
we delivered the best talk that we
were capable of delivering and told
several stories in connection with our
talk and at the conclusion we urged
the girls and boys to refrain from
fighting, using bad language, to be po-
lite to each and every person whom
they come in contact with, to be hon
est and truthful, to be kind and con-
siderate for the rights of Others as they
womanhood and manhood,
that someone would streeh forth a
strong and helping hand to assist them
along the roadway or the highway of
life.
On leaving the City Hall on satur-
day morning after our delightful visit
with Mayor Henry W. Kiel, we strolled
along Market street which is the s.
State street in Chicago for eolored
people, but it seemed to us that there
are more sOlOred people in business on
State street and in other parts Of this
;ity than they are in any part Of st. |
Louis Of course Poro College is the
greatest business enterprise conducted
ey eolOred people in that city.
Continuing our way on towards Poro
We visited City Hospital No. 2, which
IS exclusively for .eolOred people, it is
owned by the city Of st. Louis and the
;olored people can shoot and cut each
'ther up to their hearts content for
everything is free to them in City
Hospital No. 2. Dr.. Roscoe @. Haskell,
Who is . graduate from the Medical
Of the Howard University,
s its efficient Superintendent and with
pleasure he escorted rs through the
hospital which l. night up to date in
very respect, all Of the assistants and
he rest Of the help are eolored except
he head nurse who is q white lady.
We also visited the Y. ". Q. A and the
z. N. Q. A and greatly enjoyed our
Tisit to them and from there We man
Iged to arrive back TO Poro, just in
ime to ease into the group Of editors
md other visitors before the fiash-Hght
,ieture was taken in the lobby Of Pcro
Jollege.
It seems that al the big and up-tO-
late editors except Col George l.
Knox, Editor Of the Freeman, Indian
polls, Ind, and the writer struck st.
.O1iS without their fun dress suits and
very evening Col Knox would proudly
