there was a most appropriate and
enjoyable and we'll rendered program
at the Oakland school in the beautl-
full and handsome auditorium of Oak
land school, taught by Mr.. and Mrs.
C. G. Sale and Miss Elise Peterson. 1t
is pat of the city school system. The
program was not long enough to tire
any one, and all the selections were
timed in accordance with the pro-
gram, and when it concluded all the
audience would have been glad II 1t
had been little longer. The chill
dren did we'll and evidenced careful
and intelligent training. There were
dia. ,ues and songs and recltatlons
and {. ills and it was all done well.
The mill villages of this town have
handsome and commodious school
buildings and all three of the schools
are part of the city school system, and
as soon as the grades are completed
the children come on into the h!gh
school. 1t is fine arrangement ard

Friday night 1 attended an enter
tainment at Bethel-Garmany. 1t was
the marriage of Miss Bur Leitzsey to
Mr.. Jim Sease and then a society
meeting down in Darktown. The
wedding was high life affair in the
very zenith of the latest fashion and
custora for such important events
and The costumes were exquisite and
gorgeous, these are good words for
such events I hope, at any rate the
officiating officer whom l took to be
DR.. E. II. Moore himself was the
typical man of fashion and performed
the impressive ceremony just as if he
had been accustomed to doing that
sort of thing instead Of taking tenn
peratures and writing prescriptions.
And all of the attendants were splen-
didly arrayed in the latest creations
of fashion and fabric and the beau
tiful ring ceremony was used and the
wedding was hugely enjoyed or en-
joyed hugely. The Darktown society
meeting was very good and the act
ing was fine and we all enjoyed the
singing, or did. Jim Wheeler said
that some of the fellows out there
made fine looking negroes and had the
appearance of being able to do many
things that the negroes are experts
at, and that is what makes good act
ing. And then Mr.. Wheeler also re-
marked that he had no idea that some
of them could rig up so as to be any
more homely than nature had made
them, but he mentioned one or two
who had improved on nature and that
too was good acting l mention
this simply to say that the perform
ance was excellent and then you must
remember that all the actors We're
from the men of the community, old
and young, farmers, and it shows too
that all the community is interested
in the school, and that is what makes
for fine community and a fine
school. The attendance was the
largest they have ever had at any eX-
ercise at this school. The house had
about all it would hold. Altogether
the young lady teachers who trained
the men for this exercise deserve a

of the Mccullough district, favored
the uniting of the schools and those
present agreed with him, and it was
decided to have those present who
favored the consolidation to sign the
petition on the spot, and so petitions
were drawn and quite number from
both districts signed up asking the
county board to grant the consolida-
ton, and on motion of Mr.. W. NJ.
Sherard the petitions were left in the
hands of the trustees from the re-
spective districts to see the free
holders and electors who were not
present, and the indications now are
that the two districts will be consoli-
dated and that by another year we
will have a nice community building
and school house in that consolidated
district. 1t would be a great accom-
plishment for that section if the
thing is done.

I have been trying to connect win
an anpointment at Mollohon school,
I'm in No. 4 township for some time

there to talk about school conditions
Rev. Mr.. Gregory of Whismme has
appointments to preach at this school
house. and with his permission ard
annroval we had the meeting Sunday
afternoon. Mr.. E. E. Child of Whit
mire and members of the Brother
hood of that live town said they
would be glad to cooperate with the
neople in this community in the
building of better school facilities
so several of the members said they
would come to the meeting and help
rs to do something. 1t was agreed
that we would use the appointment
for Sunday at o'clock. DR.. Freed
had an appointment to preach for the
brotherhood in the Methodist church
ct Whitmire Sunday night, so l ar
ranged to go along with him to Whit
mire and he to go with me to Mollo-
hon, it being right on the highway
the two appointments worked out to-
eether beautifully.

On my trip on Wednesday l took
along U. S. Gallman the supervisor
of colored schools for the county and
he visited the colored schools in Rec
derv,lle, Bush River and Tranwood.
At Bush River I stopped in on this
school also. In this district the school
house they had been using was de-
stroyed by fire last year and we have
not yet been able to raise enough
money to put up the new building.
With the insurance and the money
raised by the negroes we have bought
a lot of four acres about one m le
above the white school and it is a
good location and they tell me it is
very near the center of the district.
The house now being used is negro
house on Mrs. Satterwhite's place
about sixteen feet square and they
have an enrolment of SO and there
were present the day l was there "a
and there were no desks but the chill
dren seemed to be satisfied and inter-
ested in the work. Minnie Grigsby
is the teacher and she seems to be
giving them the right sort or training
and has raised some money by private
contribution to continue the term Of
the school after the public money is
out. l mention this largely to say
that in my opinion we should en-
courage the negroes to make an effort
to better their school conditions, and
because further the negroes at pres
ent are perfectly willing to work with
the white people and to do what the
white people say about their educa-
ton and we now have the opportunity
to direct that education as it should
be and We have the entire control of
it and we can not teach the right sort
of teaching with the kind of the great
majority of school houses we have in
this county. I believe in letting the
negro understand exactly his place in
cur economic and social conditions,
and believe also in treating him fair
ly and giving him justice. Unless we
do we can not prosper and we can not
expect to have him develop into the
right sort of citizen. l may be wrong,
but l do not think / am. For this
reason am encouraging the negro all
| can do to make an effort to help
himself and to develop into better
citizen. He is here and he is here to
stay for many decades at least, and
so long as both races understand the
proper relations that should exist be-
tween them, and so long as both do
right and treat each other with JUS
tice, there is not going to be any trou-
bic. And the negro should have some
sort of the right education. You can
train horse so as to make a better
horse out Of him and so you can train
negro so as to make a better citizen
if YOU give him the right sort of
training.

When we reached the school hous

When we reached the school house
a good many of the patrons and
friends of the school were present IN
spite of the bad evening and the mist
of rain, and quite a number of the
members of the Brotherhood from
Whitmire were present and proved
their interest in the community by
coming out to encourage the people
in their efforts to better the school
conditions. Mr.. E. E. Child was ask
ed to preside and he made some very
interesting and encouraging remarks
and pledged the cooperation OF the
people of Whitmire in any way that
they could be of assistance. then
made a talk and tried to show the
people the advantage it would be to
the children to consolidate the Mol
lohon and Mccullough districts and
build a worth while school in the TWO
districts, and what they owed to the
children of the community, and the
advantage it would be to the COM
munity to improve the school. Prof,
C. NJ. Wilson also made talk en-
dorsing what. I had said about the
advantages of building better
school. Mr.. John NJ. Suber, citizen

After the melting We drove over to
Whitmire and had supper with Prof.
C. NJ. Wilson, and his good wife, and
DR.. Freed preached fine sermon
to the Brotherhood in the Methodist
church at 1880 from the parable OF
the sower. Mr.. E. E. Child as pres
ident Of the Brotherhood had charge
of the meeting and there was very
sweet and impressive song service
preceding the sermon and several
prayers. The Brotherhood has un-
ion service once a month and all the
churches in the town join in this SER
vice, and they are doing fine work
in the community, and all of them
seem to work together in such beau
tiful good will and harmony and with
the one purpose to help that it is
really helpful and inspiring just to
mingle with them if for only a brief
time. There is no telling the vast
amount of good such an organization
working together with such fine CO.
operation with the main idea of SER
vice is worth to any community.

DR.. Freed drove MS cal anu We
left Newberry at 8 o'clock on the MIN
nte and the road was very good until
we reached Indian creek. The bridge
at this place on the highway has not
been completed and you still have to
take the old route there. Mr.. John
NJ. Suber who lives just beyond on
the hill knew that we were coming
and when we reached the creek we
were met by his son and two negroes
and two big fine mules, Young Mr.
Suber said that his father told him to
come down and meet us and to sug-
gest that we hitch the car to the
mules before we undertook to make
the crossing at all, and this we did
and but for the Thoughtful kindness
of Mr.. Suber we would not have been
able to keep the appointments, be-
cause this crossing is terrible and II
the bridge is not soon completed the
highway commission will have to fx
the road along here, or traffic be-
tween this side of the road and the
other will be stopped, unless you
transfer at this place, and that would
be difficult. On the return trip the
negroes and the mules were there to
put US over again and by this we were
able to go and come. The highway
needs some attention. In many plac-
es the water after the rain was stand
ing in the road and there are many
places where the top soil does not
seem to be of the right kind or there
is not enough of it. But this will be
worked out by the highway commits
sion, and the pressing need just now
is the bridge. On the new road the
bridge over Duncan's creek has not
been built and you follow the old
road and it has been worked and is in
good shape. The old road from Mr..
John Suber's to Whitmire has been
worked and has top soil on it and is in
fine condition. So from this point
YOU have the choice of two routes to
Whitmire.

If the two school districts as re-
suit of this meeting are consolidated
it will be one of the best days that
I have spent in long time, because
it will be of such lasting and contin-
uous benefit to the children who are
there now and those who are to come
after them and for all the people who
live in that section. There is nothing
they can do that will add so much to
the wealth and prosperity and the
making of better homes as the build
ing of good school. I hope the
trustees will send in the petitions just
as soon as they can SO that the county
board may act and arrangements be-
gun for the building of the school.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR
CHILD WELFARE WORK

The following statement to the
press is given by Mrs. S. II. Wheeler
OF Reno, who is directing the activ-
tiles of the child welfare division, Ne
yada State Board of Health:
THE child welfare division of the
Nevada State Board Of Health to
carry out the provisions of the Shep-
pard-Towner act is now fully estab-
lished In room IA, city hall, in Reno.
''The work of this division is for
the promotion of the welfare n n.y.
giene of maternity and infancy. A
local nurse is now being trained in
public health work and will be ready
by the first of October to go into the
field and do general educational work
in outlying districts where mothers
are in crying need of sympathetic,
understanding, trained help.
1.-The whole country admits that 1t
is well to help the farmer. In the
heart of the farmers wife there is
a hope that a helping hand will be
extended to her. A health center
within reach, the advice of a person
who knows, the certainty that going
to her physician early and repeatedly
is the thing that the Government
recommends. These are the reasons
why the are hoping and pray
ing that their State will accept the
Sheppard-Towner act.
Governor Boyle accepted the pro-
visions of the Sheppard-Towner act
for the State of Nevada and appoint
ed the following committee: Chair
man, Mrs. Frank Ellis Humphrey;
Mrs. Walter Shockley. DIR. s. X. Nor
rison, DIR. Alice Thompson and DR..
LaRue Robinson.
Each year for FIVE years $4,000
will be given outright by the Federal
government to the State, and anoth-
err $4,000 per year will be given II
matched by the State Is well as an
| apportioned amount on basis of the
population. The apportioned amount
for Nevada is $522.06, making the
entire amount for each year given by
the Federal government (if the sec,
ond $4,000 and the s522.06 is mached
by the State) a total of $16,044.12
for the entire year.
with this yearly amount Nevada
will be able to have a public health
nurse in every county and through
the cooperation of the county health
officers, the State medical association
and club women our State will be ont
of the first to know the real value OF
the Sheppard-Towner act.

ecutive secretary, child welfare divis
ion of Nevada, State Board of Health
