have departed and whole blocks of the

called, have been struck like circus
tents. But some are needed because
Washington still has twice as many
clerks as in pre-war days.
The tempos near Potomac Park
stand on leased land and the lease is
about to expire. Furthermore. the
owners want a higher rate of rent,
and if the Government turns the prop

down its stucco buildings and even
pay for the structures that stood on

FRIENDS ARE GIVING
NEGROES INSTRUCTION
DESPITE HkNDICkPS

When teachers themselves have
had but eight years of schooling and
very often have gone 10 school to
teachers that had finished but eight
grades, education is in a precarious
state" Wilbur Ramp. Earlham grad
uate Of 1921, who for the last year has
been teaching at Southland. the
Friends school for negroes in Arkan-
sas. said Friday.
But that is just the condition in
Arkansas, where the negroes when
they do get a chance to go to school
have to go to teachers that are teach
ing everything they know
Mr.. Ramp. who was formerly a resi-
dent of Richmond, is in town for the
Earlham Jubilee, and is attending sew
eral local committee meetings.
Southland is doing wonderful
work" he said. With more money
and backing it could be another Tus-
keegee, as there is not another school
for negroes within the state of that
description. The need of such a school
IS so great that every year the attend
ence has to be restricted. This year
we had students from Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi. Louisiana, Georgia, Tennes-
see and Oklahoma, besides one from
the Island of Jamaica.
What education can do for the ne
gro is illustrated by the effect on the
graduates of Southland. Most of them
have bought their own farms, are TAX
ing up diversified farming. and have
real homes

yers, teachers and dentists. They have
III einterest of their race at heart, and
are doing what they can to help its ad-
vance.
But Southland is only a drop in the
bucket. Because of poor transportation
conditions, the influence of the school
is not as widespread as could be de-
sired. Most of the farmers own runty
stock, or at best only poor grades, and
are expending all of their energies on
cotton. instead of on diversified crop.
Even the school. for all the good
that il has done, is sadly handicapped
by its inability to instruct more than
limited number of students, or to
demonstrate f1rst-class methods of
farming with some good stock
The last year which I spent there
has been one of real satisfaction. how
ever, and Mrs. Ramp and l both en-
joyed it immensely"
Southland was originally operated
under the jurisdiction of the Indiana
Yearly Meeting of Friends. but is now
under the direction of the Board of
Home Missions of the Five Years
Meeting
The school was established by Indi-
ana Friends just after the Civil war
as a refugee school for liberated ne
Rroes.

HOW ABOUT IT?
merchant

A Flagstaff clothing merchant hands this to The Sun:
 People pay $40 for a suit of clothes and claim that the price is unreason- able because the suit contains only $5 worth of raw wool.
 The clothing manufacturer answers by stating that it is the hign cost or labor which makes the cost of the suit.
 But a great many people are not satisfied with this answer. They still want to be shown. They feel that there must be nigger in the wood pile somewhere.
 Have they, however, ever stopped to think
 That six egg plants at 35 cents each, in season, can be produced from one seed which cost HOO of cent? ?
 That several tons of apples can be raised on an apple tree which cost but 50 cents?
 That an acre of oats, worth SIP, comes from 45 cents worth of seed? !?
 That $5,000 automobile engine is manufactured out of iron worth $50
 That $2,000 worth of finished silk goods can be made from $4.50 worth of silk worms?
 That piece of fine furniture which sells for 1000 is made from mahog- any log which a native of the tropics fioated down stream and sold to a trader for plug of tobacco?
 That a Rembrandt painting which is priceless consumed but dollars worth of paint?
 That $5 worth of note paper can be manufactured out of 50 cents worth or rags?
 That the hand-worked tray cloth which serves king may be fashioned out of a quarters worth of flax?
 That most of the. misunderstand- ings which confuse us would disap- pear if we would but master facts, which pst nothing but little mental effort?
 Labor brings the egg plant, the ap- pie tree and the oat field to maturity Iron, without labor, is as useless as clay. With long days of labor It be- comes joined to mans inventive abil- | ity.
 And so it is with wool--it must be washed or secured, carded or combed on expensive machinery, made into yarns, woven into fabrics, shrunk, fin. ished, tailored, labored with through a hundred operations-literaiIy milif ons of hazards being encountered - until the little handful of wool iron the sheep's back with which the oper ation started turns out to be the mos insignificant part of the wnore pro cess.
 | And so with a thousand other pro ducts whether made of wool, cotton iron, copper, leather or cocoons.
 Of course if any man stiIl think there is not much of anything in suit of clothes but some raw wool tn thing for him to do is to make hi own clothes, tailor it into a suit am thus get the laugh on the clothie and manufacturer.
 I Let's be fair! Let every nones | American look into his own labo costs before he accuses his neighbo of being profiteer. l Respectfully submitted 70 all fai minded people.
