NEGRO SCHOOL TO EXPAND.
Western University, Kansas City
Has, To Offer College Course.

Kansas City, Kas, June 16.-Wes-
tern University, the Negro institution
in Kansas City, Kas., will have a
full 4-year college course, the same
as offered at the state university and
other large schools, next year. De-
cision on the 4-year course was made
by the board of trustees at the an
nual meeting at the college.
With the full college course estab-
lished, the school will abandon the
seventh and eighth grade training
classes.
More than one hundred students
for the full college course have al
ready enrolled and many others in
tend to return next fall.
Degree Awarded Two.
This year two students receive
college degrees in special classes that
are the forerunner of the 4-year
course. Until the decision the college
offered only academic subjects and
the first two years of college work.
DR.. F. Jesse Peck, chancellor, has
made arrangements for the school to
meet its new obligations. A new
3-story building, AXIS feet. that will
be used for a boys dormitory and for
class rooms, is under construction
The school also will have a new
heating plant, to be approved by the
state engineer.
An appropriation of S159,000 from
the state of Kansas this year, the
largest ever obtained by the school
will be spent for the heating plant
salaries and maintenance. The boys
dormitory, which is to be known as
Parks hall will be paid for by the
African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Industrial Courses Continue.
Besides offering the regular college
courses the university will continue
industrial training and scientific train
ing in livestock and fowl raising.
Pens, large enough for thousands OF
chickens have been built and more
than 5000 fowls are on hand, Among
the group is the African white guinea
that nr. Peck has demonstrated can
be domestfcated and raised for food
This year the university has ex-
perimented with the American wild
mallard duck. More than one hun
dred of these birds are in pens.
More than one hundred pedigreed
hogs form the nucleus of the hos
raising industry started this year.
More Buildings Needed.
BY crowding, 81 students were
cared for this year and nearly three
times that many were turned away
The officials explained the greatest
need was an auditorium, a hospital
a girls dormitory and cottages fol-
teachers.
The cornerstone for the new hall

trance one night several weeks ago,
when an individual approached him
with the request for a loan of rs
cents with which to enter a game of
skin" I'll be back with your mon
ey in fifteen or twenty minutes he
declared.
The citizen hesitated a moment
and decided it was just as well to
comply with the request. He handed
over the amount asked for, and wait
ed out of curiosity to see if the other
would return. Well within the time
limit, the man was back again, and
proptly handed over the IS cents.
He then produced a fat roll, peeled
of nine 81 bills and passed then
over to the astonished man.
This is your interest," he said,
and was gone.

knew" The remainder of his career
was summed up as follows:
Lewis stayed with my show for
ten or twelve years. He went TO
Europe, and rode in some of the
biggest circuses there. He was gone
several years, and during that time
a Hungarian baroness fell in love
with him, and followed HIM all over
the continent. But Lewis displayed
unusual strength of character. He
remained true to his wife, who was
a Colored minister's daughter living
in GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
But he couldn't stand prosperity.
AT one time he was quite wealthy,
and had several fine ring horses.
Every circus in Europe wanted HIM.
But he dissipated and got rid of his
wealth and his health, Then he re-
turned to the United States. | found
him in New York, a perfect wreck
not a dollar to his name, and IN
the last stage of consumption. /
bought him some warm clothes, and
paid his way to GAINESVILLE, so he
could be with his wife and children
Within a few days after he got there
he died.
There are several lessons to be
drawn from this "reminiscences of the
old time Snowman, who in his mar
rative unconsciously revealed his own
broad and generous nature in res
cuing a waif of another race and
training him in his own profession
1t also showed that native capacity
of the Negro TO adapt himself to
environment and to attain celebrity
in an arduous and dangerous calling
requiring both nerve and skill.
At the same time it showed the
necessity for the well rouL ded
strength of chara cter to withstand
the relaxing effects of success and
prosperity. One of the greatest needs
of any race is the cultivation OF
to this publication to review, show
those qualities of character which
can withstand the weakening effects
of both adverse and good fortune
especially the latter. There are too
many examples of men who have
made good in various lines of endeavor
who have fallen victims to their own
self-indulgence While Lewis was
credited with unusual strength of
character in withstanding one temp
tation, weak spots must have develop
ed in his armor to bring about the
final undoing. An Unrelenting guard
against the perils Of self-indul gence
is the price Of final success in every
field of action-New York Age.

ONLY NEGRO CIRCUS RIDER WAS
TRAINED BY JOHN F. ROBINSON
OF THE CIRCUS FAME.

The death of John F. Robinson, an
old time circus man, which was re-
ported recently from Miami, Fla, re-
calls the story he told of a Colored
bareback rider. known as Negro"
Lewis For seven years Mr.. Rob
inson was a circus performer and
owner and he claimed that his show
was the first to have a famous Ne
gro bareback rider. His story of
how this phenomenon was discovered
was told to a writer in the Dearborn
Independent as follows;
when I was an officer in the Fed
eral Navy during the Civil War, we
were ordered to put a check on the
practice of guerrilla firing into our
boats on the Mississippi River, by
landing and burning plantation build
ings.
"One day, near Island 63, we were
fired upon. We stopped at the next
plantation, and set the buildings
afire On our way back to the boat

saw a small Colored boy asleep in

nothing on but a cotton bag, with a
couple of holes cut into it to put
his arms through. and one hole for
his head. He was probably about
three years old.
didn't want him to he burned
so took him in my arms, and shook
him. He followed me all the way
to the boat. and aboard it. There
was some argument about keeping
him; no one seemed TO care anything
about him. So I said I would take
care of him.
When Mr.. Robinson left the Navv
and went back to the circus he took
Lewis with him. and while he was
still bow gave him his start at
riding. Afterwards" Mr. Robinson
declared, Lewis became ono Of the

PLANS ON FOOT FOR MILLION
DOLLAR LAND CORPORATION IN
LIBERIA; TO AID IMMIGRATION
MOVE; BELIEF.
(By VIM. H. York;

Philadelphia, Pa, June 16.-Among
the new developments on foot for
Liberia is a million dollar land CO.
orperation. This company will clear
off large tracts of land for farming
purposes and otherwise prepare the
section for tenants, and sell to fam
lilies emigrating to Liberia at cost.
The Liberian Government will guar
antee the interest on the investment.
Major York, 701 S. 18th street, who
is conducting tourist party to
Liberia next December. has been
authorized to give out this statement
1t may be fully relied upon.
THIS program was first prepared by
President King himself, who is con-
WINGED that Liberia must be rehabi-
lated by certain desirables among
our large Negro population in the
United States. The details of the
venture are being worked out by a
corporation which will announce the
program in the very near future.
This venture will announce the
obstacle which has rendered emf
grafton to Liberia-proper places to
locate during the period of acclima-
ton. Families possessing the pioneer
spirit may then move to Liberia and
be assured, not only of warm re-
ception. but also "a prepared home
to enter with a small farm cleared
off and ready for tilling. This i'm
proved property, when taken by en-
igrants, may be paid for in cash or
installments. In fact the new Gov
ernmental program embraces the alb
solute rehabilitation of Liberia in the
shortest possible time.
The progressive and inspiring part
of all this lies in the fact that this
program is placed in the hands of
competent business men and backed
by the governmental-the best pos
sible security. Governmental officers
win keep a watchful eye that every
detail be carefully worked out as
to the sanitation and health and
other necessities. Government physi-
clans, expert in tropical ills, viii be
located in the newly developed sec
lions. No phase seems to be over
looked in order that success be
certain
Such announcements as this point
to real progress. 1t is the construc-
tive program most needed. We pre-
dict that within the next few years
families will be moving to Liberia as
they moved West during the rush
to that section.-Pittsburgh Courier

Nashville, Tenn, June 23-That
economic education in the Col
ored Schools of IA Southern states
is recognized as essential to a we'll
rounded curriculum and that earnest
efforts are being expended to raise
the standard of work in Colored
schools, through more adequate finan-
cial support and improved supervis-
ion, was the opinion expressed by
Miss Carrie Alberta Lyford, director
of the Hampton Institute home
economic school, in her recent, ad-
dress on "Home-Economics Education
for the Colored Girls delivered be-
fore the Southern Home Economics
Association, which met at George
Peabody College.
Courses in home-making in Negro
Schools" said Miss Lyford, have
been carried on in various parts OF
the Suth for more than fifty year
but so scattered have been these
efforts to train Negro girls to stan
dards of better living, so lacking y
recognition by the State departments
of education, and so generally thwart-
ed by the absence of definite, care

that there can be said to have eX-
listed no well-defined plan of home
economics education for the Negro
girl.
with the appointment of super
visors of CUlored rural schools in
every Southern state with the de

Monies departments in the State
normal schools for Negroes, with the
growth of the Observation-Disclosures
wOrk for Negro Woven under the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, and
with the establishment of vocational
home economics under Federal Board
for Voc ational Education, the need
for a definite scheme for home-eco-
Monies education for the Negro girl
has become increasingly apparent.
Negro education along all lines
has suffered sorely through lack o.
organized effort and cooperative en-
deaVor. Home-economics education for
the Necro has in no sense been ar

though special interest in some phas-

have all been lacking. In many cases
