This its initial number contains
interesting articles pertaining to the
condition Of Negro schools and
teachers in Maryland and Delaware.
Its editor. Willis N. Higgins,
says in regard to its establishment:
PLANS for the founding of a
great journal dealing with Educa-
ton. Social Work and with the spe-
cial mission of popularizing The

dress the annual meeting Of The
National Association Of Teachers in
Colcred Schools. which was held
at Fisk University. Nashville, Tenn.
on The Advantages and Limita-
tions in Teaching Negro History in
Schools"
From this meeting a quiet but
effective campaign was begun to
work for the more general admis-
sion Of Negro History into the
society Of older studies, in all
schools but first and especially. in
our own. The final plans were
laid at the 1919 Summer Session.
Columbia University. New York
when more than 800 teachers and
social workers, representing 30
states banded themselves together
to insure the success Of such a
periodical
We also welcome snch an on
portunity for the discussion Of the
problems Of teachers and the spread
Of the study Of Negro history. It
is a thing that is highly necessary
TO the proper development 81 our
racial life. Ours is q history worthy
Of study. It is replete with achieve
ment that is worth while. We alone
should see to It that the deeds Of
the great among us shall not die.
We take pleasure In recommend
ing this magazine to the teachers Of

TOM MIX HAS HIS USUAL ITCH
 FOR FRONTIER

Tom Mix and wife arrived last night. He was preceded earlier in the day by his physical trainer, Lee Moore Others of his crew will come in in time to be on hand for the filming stunts which MT. Mix will put on. The popularity of Tom Mix in Prescott is sufficient evidence that he will receive a royal welcome on this occasion.
 Of course. mainly speaking, the trip of the Mix company is to get some pictures with real action in them, and something true to life. The Frontier Day shows in Prescott do not illustrate unnatural things but things that obtrude into the arena of the show. bits of thrilling life episodes often enacted without any witnesses and under more trying cir cumstances than the protected rules of the arena. These are the things that make the show valuable to Mr Mix. He will catch them and carry them forward for people who can never see them in real form.
 It is important to Prescott to have these performances filmed for the sentiment is truly western, and Pres colt is indeed the center of things western and their presentation will be good for Prescott. It will be good for Mr. Mix, too, for he will receive splendid cooperation on the part of every one here, in putting on any picture he may want. Ia fact the arrival of Tom Mix in Prescott IS an event, not alone for the grown ups, but his name is on inc lips of every hoy in Prescott for the boys have their ideals in things western. In other words, Tom Mix belongs in Prescott. for the spirit for the action picture man" is at home here.
