PROPERTY POSSIBLE.
Fortune Awaits Inventor

Boston, Mass, Jan. IA new
worlds record for deep sea diving
was made Monday afternoon, is
miles east of the Graves Light, when
John F. Turner of Philadelphia, a
diver of international reputation,
reached depth of $50 feet under
water.
This feat is astounding, because it
means that Turner descended from
a height higher than Bunker Hill
monument or the Pilgrim shaft at
Provincetown, which are 220 and
254 feet high, respectively.
The only thing comparable to it
would be a parachute drop from the
windows of the Boston Custom
House, just below the face of the
clock, about $50 feet above the
ground.
Doubles Depth Limit.
A diver can now go more than twice
as far down into the sea as the most
expert could previously 90 with the
aid of the old-fashioned diving suit
of rubber.
A new diving suit of armor has
made all possible, the Invention of
Charles H. Jackson, a Colored me-
chanic, who lives at IL Albion street,
Boston. 1t was in testing this new
slit, made entirely of brass, that
Turner accomplished his memorable
feat on Monday.
This new invention is expected to
give a great impetus to the search
for sunken treasure, because II re-
lieves the diver of the tremendous
pressure of the water against his
body at low depths and enables him
to go with comparative safety into
great stretches of the ocean bottom
where it is impossible to penetrate
with the ordinary divine suit of run

invention will be put will be the

took action to expel Syndicates and

INTENSIVE TRAIN
ING Of TEACH
ERS NEEDED
WILL DO MORE FOR ADVANCE
MENT BY EDUCATION OF
MASSES
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

New York, N. Y. Jan. Probably
the most promising of all the so
lutions recently advanced for the
racial problem in the United States
is that looking toward the more eX-
tensive and intensive education of
Colored school teachers for Colored
children.
Education is, of course, the basis
for all progress in civilization. And,
equally, Of course, the character of
the teachers determines the character
Of the education. Do you know, how
ever, that more than half of the Col
ored teachers in Southern public
schools have an education of less
than the equivalent of six elementary
grades? The majority of these are
paid Spas per month, or an aver
age of $SO.92 for the school year of
four months!
And yet intelligent and high
spirited Negro girls, convinced that
their first duty to their race is to
raise the standards of educations
are yearly seeking adequate training
as teachers, only to find that the
few training schools are overcrowded
and unable to accommodate them and
at best, give inadequate training. At
least three colleges-Atlanta, Howard
and Fisk are prepared to fox teach
ers' college work. OF Fisk Univer-
sity, Nashville, Tenn, the second
largest university in the world for
Colored men and women-President
Fayette Avery McKensie said re-
Gently, THE continued heavy regis
tration of young women has been
almost surprising" Annual the num-
ber of applications of Negro girls
to Fisk is far in excess of the ability
of the university to provide for
them.
Students of our racial problem are
unanimous in paying tribute to the
services of these college trained Ne
gro girls in raising the standards
of their race. They have gone out
from the college to every corner of
the South, most of them as teachers,
some as school supervisors, some as
nurses. In the home economies
field, in welfare work, in spreading
knowledge of hygiene and child
care and the desire for better home
conditions, the work or these women
has been beyond compare. In the
case of Fisk University, for example
fully half of the 1900 liv gradu-
ates and 1000 former students are
teaching and have under their di-
recticn and influence no fewer than
$4,000 Of the Colored children of
the south.
Fortunately the greater part of
the south is now recognizing the val
ue of these services, and is beginning
to provide adequate training school
facilities for it's Negro educational
institutions and organizations are
whole heartedly cooperating notably
Fisk University, itself. which this
week launches its $2,000,O0O cam

! understanding, and a more wide
spread interest in the problems of

Prospects for 1920
The prospects for larger achieve
ments and better understanding in
1920 are very flattering and encour-
aging. The people of our group are
fortunate in getting large number
of spokesmen, of both races, who
are resolved to distribute even hand
ed justice, and who get the most re-
spectful consideration from all sour

The spirit of Americanism is man
ifesting itself in deeds of Justice and

There is a spreading determination

The entrance OF women into pol

existance in this country. The air
planes are all set for the flight; it

made to improve travelling accom-
modations for the Colored people.
He referred also the migration of
Colored people stating that 1t was
his observation and his belief that
there. was more unrest among the
Colored people at present than ever
before and this he felt was due to the
