Director Home-Economics School,
Hampton Institute

Hampton, Va.-Twenty-one colored
women, representing twenty-one
schools in eleven states, recently
spent three weeks in conference al
Hampton Institute, where they studied
problems connected with the care OF
young people in boarding schools.
In this group there were three deans
of women, eight matrons of girls
dormitories, one preceptress Of boys
dormitory, FIVE matrons Of boarding
departments, one laundry matron, and
three assistant matrons.
The subjects of the conference COW
cred the entire range Of the response
bilities of the matron in educational
institutions.
The central thought Of the Hamp-
ton Institute conference was the ply
steal, mental, moral, and social de-
velopment of the student and the part
that dormitory life plays in this de-
velopment
Dormitory management was con-
sidered from a business standpoint.
Economy in purchase and in care OF
furnishings was emphasized. Meth
DDS of inventorying property and OF
securing insurance were explained.
Business management Of the foods
and Of the dining rooms
was discussed. Desirable correIations
between the boarding department and
the home-economics department, as
we'll as with the school farm and
other departments, were also dis
cussed.
The. conference methods included
instruction by specialists. reports Of
present practices, observation, refer
ence readings, and discussion Of pres
ent-day problems. Free use was
made Of all the facilities Of Hampton
Institute. Visits were made in the
neighborhood to study community
activities in their relation to the de-
velopment of the students.

Courier, commenting upon the letter.
makes the following significant state
ment:
Defeat of the Dyer bill left the
States free to deal with the lynching
evil. 1t made it incumbent upon the
States to justify their rights by putting
forth greater efforts to suppress the
evil. There are at present no indica-
tons that any State is making this eff
fort to justify its rights and convince
Congress that it can put down mob
lawlessness without Federal assist
ance. So far as appearances go, what
the States insist upon is the right to
allow mobs to operate without fear of
punishment"

Special committee reports were
made on care Of girls, care of boys,
furnishing Of the dormitory, foods,
table service, and laundry manage
ment.
Conference Findings
The dormitory should be regarded
as training school in which good
living habits, high standards of con-
duct efficiency in all activities, an ap-
probation of the value Of time, and
the ability to cooperate with others
are acquired.
"The dress of the girls should be
considered as affecting the character
of the girls and as setting the stand
ard of the school.
Good health should be recognized
as fundamental to good school work.
An adequate diet should be provided.
A well-equipped dining room is neces-
sary for the establishment of good
eating habits.
The fundamentals of good social
conduct should be practised in every
department Of school life. Good man
ners, honesty, fairness, good sports
manship, and consideration of others
should be insisted upon in all inter-
course among the students.
The rooms of the dormitory should
all be well lighted and we'll ventilated
and SO adequately furnished as to be
pleasing in appearance and convenient
for living.
1T is desirable to have a well-fur-
nished bedroom for each two girls.
which is provided with closet or ward
robe, enough window space for good
light and ventilation, shade curtains,
and walls, ceiling and floor in good
condition. Bathrooms should have an
adequate number of showers, toilets
and wash basins.
The woman matron who can be an
instructor and a counsellor for the
boys, occupies an important place in
an institution. She can give them
help on questions Of personal appear
ance, conduct, and care Of rooms that
will make their daily life while in
school a valuable training for the fu-
ture. Personal talks can be given to
great advantage Regular weekly
talks that reach the entire group can
also be made of interest and value.
These talks should cover such sub
Iects as health. self-control, trust
worthiness, loyalty. politeness, and
table manners"

SOME BANK SALARIES

Investigations made by the Missouri
Bankers Association have revealed
that 1858 banks In the state In towns
Of under 1000 population are paying
their cashiers and chief executives an
average Of only $40 month. Only
273 of the 1.182 reporting banks in
towns under 5000 population pay the
president a salary. The report says:
at indicates that, even allowing for
the economy of living in small COM
munities, the cashiers and managing
ofKcers of those 1852 banks, who re-
ceive an average of $40 per month,
either must have personal means to
begin with, or must maintain tho

could never again
arise. But with such men as Henry
Ford and Thomas A. Edison talking
about commodity money there is no
foretelling what may happen.
One OF the plainest lessons taught by
financial history is that whenever a
nation issues paper money with moth
road to disaster. Look at Russia with
its worthless rubles and Germany
with Its worthless marks. Think OF
what happened in France during the
years Immediately following our Revo-
lutionary War.
The common people OF France rose
in their might, tore down the Bastile.
and made reprisal for centuries OF
kingly crime and oppression. The
profigate court had piled up taxes un-
Il! they were unbearable. The en-
ragged populace killed King Louis XVI.
and also his queen. Marie Antoinette.
But they only threw themselves out
of the frying pan into the fire so far
az finances were concerned.
Unsound Money Tyranny
At the very worst point Of their cur.
rency imitation they found themselves
under the absolute domination OF
Robespierre. In order to meet the
growing scarcity of coin. paper money
called assignats were issued. First
400,000,000 francs worth, then 100000
900 were added with the distinct un-
Outstanding that the 1900. 100000
would be the full extent of the issue
This pledge was soon broken and fur
Their issues brought the total up to
S.700,000.00O francs.
Frightful depreciation was the in
evitable result; and legislation was
passed making 1t a crime, with six
years Imprisonment as the penalty, II
any one should refuse to take the pa
per assignats at their face value. Just
think of til A French peasant after
working the entire year to produce 4
crop was compelled by law to accept
payment for that crop In paper mon
ey, which he knew to be worthless, or
go to prison.
1t was simply legalized robbery.
When the penalty was increased to
twenty years Imprisonment the inevi-
table climax came. The Reign of Ter
ror was at its height Robespierre
was In supreme power. He suggested
that more assignats be issued and II
the people did not take them the gull
lotine should be the penalty.
Robespierre's End
This unheard OF outrage was more
than the people could stand. An un-
known man arose on the floor of the
convention and denounced Robes
pierre, reciting the heinous crimes he
had committed, and so worked upon
the feelings of the audience that
Robespierre, the tyrant. became
Robespierre. the convicted criminal.
Two days later he was led to the gull.

The fallacy of unsound money Is
sure to confront US again. Never IL
there enough Of everything for all the
people. The struggle for existence is
a real struggle. and those who find
themselves in the lower strata of hu
man society are ready at any time to
grasp at fiat money or any OF the 9th
er things which misguided politicians
hold out to them.
My whole purpose Is to drive home
the fact that danger lies ahead and to
urge every one to let no opportunity
go by to use voice and influence to
ward keeping the wampum of these
United States. as 1t is today, the
soundest currency In the world.

MEMORIAL SERVICES

A large and interested audience
was present on Sunday morning at
the union Memorial services at the
Methodist church. This service had
been arranged for by the members
of the American Legion, and they at
tended the service in a body, occu-
pying the seats in the center front
of the audience room. A large choir
composed of singers from all the
churches, under the direction Of Mrs
Oscar Jones, rendered special music
and led in the congregational sing
ing. A male quartet, composed of
Messrs Griffin, Martin, Enyeart and
Nay, sang one number and Mrs.
Jones sang a solo.
Rev. Enyeart presided and led in
prayer. The Scripture was read by
Rev Martin.
Rev. T. E. Elgin, pastor of the
Baptist Church preached a very i'm
pressive sermon, appropriate to the
ingly to thos- who had laid down
their lives in defense of their coun-
try. In brief outline Rev. Elgin
spoke as follows:
Taking as his text the words of

which thou sowest is not quickened
except it die," he said con this me-
mortal day our thoughts turn to
those who paid the supreme sacri-
fee, those whose bodies are lying in
European soil or have been tran
splanted to their own native land.
eve commend the spirit that
brings the American Legion to OBJ
serve their memorial occasion with
the Christian forces of the city. AS
American and Christians, we offer
our commendation and support to
this organization in it's purpose and
mission, as set forth so strongly in
the preamble to it's Constitution. We
note with pride the growth of this
institution.
with bowed heads and sad hearts
in honor of these heroic dead who
gave their all for great redemption,
we bid god-speed to their living
comrades of the American Legion,
who stand for the conservation and
projection of those principles for
which the dead gave their lives.
In this hour of testing values
shall we not turn to the God of ma
tions to lead us out of the darkness
and chaos of the present world?
Our hope for full redemption lies in
the coming Prince of Peace, of whose
reign We are given can insight in
the prophetic teachings where vivid
representations of Him are given.
with all these dark pictures and
tasks before us, new courage
comes in the thought that Jehovah
of old is still on His throne, and is
guiding in the affairs of men and
nations -
