YOUR CHILD
IN SCHOOL
By Dr.. Frank W. Ballou,
Superintendent Of Schools. Washington.

Modern Schoolhouse Architecture.

The day when a schoOlhouse merely
was a building where classes were
held has passed. Instead of a rather
haphazard method of erecting or
adapting a building to school uses,
there now exists very definitely de-
veloped line Of thought on the ques-
ton Of schoolhouse architecture.
School men and architects, builders,
makers and designers of the various
items Of building equipment have
come more and more to agreement on
the plan of school buildings. Each
group contributes it's share of the
large task of determining what Is a
desirable type of structure and how
1t shall be fitted and equipped after it
has been built.
BY means Of this close cooperation
existing among the different profess
sions and lines of business which have
to do with the laying down of the
more fundamental principles Of school
house construction, a great deal OF
good has been accomplished in the
interests of the child for whom. after
all. this evolvement Of progressive
methods has been achieved. Because
the architect and the builder and the
equipment designers stand together
on the planning of more useful and
desirable plants, there is accomplished
very definite economical as well as
educational advantage, but, for pres
ent purposes, we shall assume the
former and direct our attention to the
educational benefits and see how the
child Is placed in safer, more healthful
and more satisfactory surroundings. =,
| An important trend, one which
readily might be expected, Is in the
! direction Of fireproof structures. OF
course, it no longer Is trend in, the
sense that architects and school Of
ficials are aiming at such an objective;

ton that dominates wherever available
structures possible, There have been
too many tragedies where children
were exposed to danger, or where they
tactually lost their uYss, to make any.

The National Association for the

Kansas City should publish the names
of its members. The place which the
Association fills in our scheme Of
things is too essential for the men
and women who compose it, to be
unknown to the whole people. I'm
like many propaganda organizations,
it has an unbroken record of con-
structive service. 1t always takes
lawful steps toward the end de-
sired. It's white and it's black MEM
bers can well afford to be known for
their part in its unfolding the law.
1t is an honor to be contributor
to the defense of the ballot, to the
betterment of the home, to the Sc
curity of travel. The local branch
will be wise to make it fixed policy
to publish the names of their whole
membership here at regular intervals.
1t will serve double purpose. 1t

due, but it will disclose the fact that
some persons who talk large about
race uplift have talked and that is all.

In this connection I call especial
notice to the splendid editorials in this

patronage that it should, it will GER
tainly be blessing.

will send me a bundle of papers,
will have my daughter dispose of
them to prospective subscribers and
we shall be pleased to send you any

It has always been my sincere hope
that the three leading cities could be

AN AFTERTHOUGHT ON DECORA
TON DAY

Another Memorial Day has come
and gone. Once more a grateful ma
ton has stood with barred heads and
silent prayer for three who laid down
their lives for their country, or
cheered the tottering steps and gray
heads of those veterans who marched
as token of respect to those of their
comrades who have gone before-all
but our group. Where they were, we
leave to the readers conjecture. And
yet is there any group that has bene-
flied more by the sacrifice of those
men living and dead than have we?
Is there any group that should be
more willing to show honor and re-
spect for their own, for the part they
played in making this country what
it is, and perhaps, but for us might
not have been, than should we?
Small wonder that we are denied a
share in the larger wonder, that we
are scarcely considered in the eco
nomic and industrial life of the coun-
try, we who forget the part and SEEM
ingly have no thought for the future
and it's possibilities. If Nero fiddled
as Rome burned, we are as carefree
in our concern for the place we hold
in the minds of our countrymen. Out
at Lakewood cemetery, two men of
our group were in evidence at the ex-
ercises and not woman visible; and
the presumption is that conditions
were the same at other cemeteries.
In the line of march in the afternoon
four marches of our group were
counted, out of three wars that this
day was commemorative nor was the
number who gathered along the line
Of march to pay homage to these men
on this day which comes but once a
year, relatively any greater. Yes,
this is white mans country, and will
remain so until we by our attitude
show that we are part of it, made
so by the toll, sweat and blood of our
own, and are willing to pay our own
this honor and homage due, and cher
ish the memory of the part they
played as our heritage, as do other
groups.

the field counted for seven runs,
Wells winning 11-6.
The Exhibit last Thursday and
Friday brought many visitors to
Phyllis Wheatley House. Specimens
of work done in Millinery, Lamp

One of the main attractions at that
exposition was the Royal Mexican
Band from Mexico City. It was
large band and it's playing was very
delightful. The concerts were held on
the third floor of the building, the
seats were arranged in tiers like those
in the gallery of the Metropolitan
Theatre. This band used one section
of those seats and were seated so that
they rose in tiers up to the top. On the
top-most row was stationed the drum
mers-in the center of which were
the immense kettle-drums- were
the largest I had ever seen and were
beautifully polished and splendidly
tuned. The men of the band were of
swarthy complexion, but the man at
the kettle-drums was very tall and
dark which made him stand out more
conspicuous than the others, and the
way he could manipulate those drum
sticks would make the present Jazz
0rummerS turn green With envy. Jazz
and rag time were not known then.
Mr.. w. c. Handy had not written the
Memphis Blues" nor had Alexander's
Ragtime Band" come into existence,
so the performances of this particular
band were entirely new and the peo-
pie went wild over him, especially
when the Overture of William Tell
was played in that last part he sim
ply made those sticks dance and the
band always had to respond to an
encore and after a double encore. 1
used to watch the papers for the
music program and when william
Tell" was on was sure to be there in
front seat.

In those days the incandescent

only the big Arc-lights. In the eve

arches across the street, from Bridge

By F. G. Thomas

Memorial Day has come and gone
A fine parade passed up Nicollet Ave.
Monday afternoon, but conspicuous
by it's absence was the colored legion.
That will never do, our boys must
turn out with the rest of them, they
are entitled to it and should not over
look the honor and patriotism which
is theirs by heritage and sacrifice. A
few years ago, the G. A. R. held their
encampment in Minneapolis. In the
long parade were scattered a number
of our old soldiers, but after a while
there came the solid companies of
colored veterans-I shall never forget
the roar and applause and approval
that went up from the spectators all
along the line of march-so it would
be now if the Johnny Baker Post or
any other company of our group
should make a fine showing-get
ready boys for the next Memorial
Day.

Passing by the new Auditorium I
noticed the great preparations being
made for the opening; the occasion
being the Minneapolis Industrial Ex-
position. All of which takes my
mind back to the first exposition Min
neapolis ever had in 1886-forty- one
years ago next September. I had ar
rived in Minneapolis the month of
June that year and watched the erec-
ton of the building on the east side,
now used by the M. w. Savage mail
order house. On the opening day l
witnessed the great parade; at that
time the colored 25th Infantry, U. S.
A., was stationed at Fort Smelling and
the troops were invited to participate
in the parade. Some weakened
committeeman objected to the colored
band, which was part of the regi-
ment, leading the procession, but
Colonel Andrews said: EITHER they
lead, or we take no part" needless to
say the colored band led the parade.
Our own Professor Howard was cor
net soloist in this band, although
there were five other bands-a big
number for that time.
