With the Aid of Negro Votes
in ~ Districts.

An analysis OF the returns of last
Saturdays election shows, in addi-
ton 10 the fact that the Democrats
made big gains, as was pointed out in
Every Evening yesterday, that:
With 13 Of the I25 election districts

Leroy Harvey. Republican. owes
his election as mayor 10 the large
Negro vote. particularly in heavy
Negro districts.
Incidentally. IL was learned today.
the Negro vote was a cause for worry
on the part OF some of the Republican
leaders last Saturday. The black
vuters--fnen and woInen--were NOT
much in evidence during the morn
ing. but in the latter part of the after
noon they swarrned about the polls.
What caused them to hold aloof in
the morning and vote in droves at the
eleventh hour is something of a
mystery.
Interesting Story of Figures
The following table, showing the
vote of the 13 districts that pulled
Mr.. Harvey through. is interesting.
Twelve of these districts have many
Negro voters, some as many as 80 Der
cent. The exception is the Nineteenth
district OF the Ninth ward. Here's
the story in figures.

SAYS MODEST DUTY
BETTER ENVIRONMENT
FOR next GENERATION

The best use one generation can
make of its time is TO make the next
generation better fitted to cope with
Its environment and to create more
desirable environment for that gene
ration stated Miss Lila e. PAYNE,
elementary supervisor of the public
schools in her address. "The New
Methods of Teaching School," deliv-
cred before the Civics department Of
the Woman's club. at the Morrison
Reeves library Tuesday afternoon
by education human beings are
taught to have more humane and use
full wants and are taught better how
10 satisfy them.
There are supposed to be new ways
of making these changes" the speaker
commented, but the new in education
is not separated from the old by any
definite line of demarcation. Edu-
Gators feel about these new theories
in education as scientific men feel who
have taken one step further forward
and we want you to assume the same
attitude toward this new step as you
do towards new discoveries
The problem of the public school
is far more stupendous thing than il
has ever been before. Especially is
this so in America" Miss Payne
pointed to the fact that the American
schools were a veritable melting pot
TO which came all the nationalitics
of the world. The compulsory educa-
ton law she said, is bringing more
and more foreign children to the
schools.
Enumerating the many things which
were taught the children in connection
with their school work Miss Payne
said that parents were leaving toe
much of their work TO the schools
Behavior of the children which the
schools have found it necessary tc
teach was mentioned by her as one OF
the things which should be taught al
home.
The children she showed, are being
educated to be good citizens. Begin
ming in the primary grades they are
given a grounding in science, art, his
tory, and other things pertaining tC
the world without. They are taught
cooperation in their associations with
each other and are impressed will
the value of personal virtues. Wise
use of their leisure, the need of health
as well as the school arts of reading
writing, mathematics, and spelling are
taught them. To be good citizens
she said, they must understand his
tory of the world and of their coun
try.
William Dudley Foulke, followin!
Miss Paynes talk with discussion
of the old methods of education salt
he approved of the new method as al
extremely desirable for the develop
ment of originality but he thought tina
The way to make child better fittet
was to make it more a master of it
will and its intellect. The child di
not learn to be master of himself b.
this new education, was an opinion
asserted by Mr.. Foulke. THE chill
must be taught to do disagreeabl
things" he said. Grinding at sui
jects results in a mastery of mind tina
cannot be obtained in any other way.
The Greek and Latin languages, h
stressed, if not studied because O
their beauty or interest in literatur
should be for the hard work require
in them, such as probably no othe
study requires.

pany the coming week. Her role is
that Of girl playing a chorus girl in
cheap musical comedy and known
only as "The Brat simply 'the brat
and. nothing more. She is slangy,
quick tempered and spunky but she
loves every living thing. One night
she is fired from the company be-
cause her wardrobe is too shabby
even for the tawdry crowd that sur
rounds her. She leaves the theatre
and is insulted by a masher. She
slaps his face and he, in turn. has her
arrested charging her with having ac-
coSted him
The brat is hailed to the Night
Court and she is so hungry and des-
perate that she would welcome a cell
lure that at least she would have a
place to sleep and something to eat.

Court for the purpose of studying the
seamy side of life sees in this waif
of the gutter an ideal type" for the
heroine of his novel and he salvages
her from the wrecks in the dock and
takes her home.
There new life opens for her, the
novelist begins to take an interest in
her other than as a type jealousy OF
the artists fiance rears its head and
the battle is on between rags and
riches. Miss Patti Mckinley who will
play the role of THE Brat has fallen
in love with the role during rehears

lead than she usually plays.
