white men, who are about to strike
the blow are going to hit the way
they are looking.
If so, they want them to get
some one else to ''hold the cow"
1t may be that they will convince
the disgruntled recruits that no
harm will come to them and that
the itch, sometimes called scratches,
will soon wear off. We shall see

MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING
SCHOOL

We have read with interest copies
of the charters of the National Bap-
fist Convention and the National
Training School for Girls as pub
lished in the National Baptist Voice
of May 10, 1928. We do not I'm
derstand the meaning of the head
ing, GAS passed June, 1927, for
we were of the opinion that the
granting of this charter antedates
this date. In the charter of the
National Baptist Convention, this
section appears:
That said auxiliary boards Tin
Guiding the Woman's Auxiliary
Board) and their officers and direc-
tors shall have and exercise no
power or control over the affairs
and properties of said boards indie
pendent of this corporation and said
boards shall forthwith amend their
charters so as to show that each
and all Of said boards are I'M
der and subject to the jurisdiction
and control of this corporation, (Na-
tional Baptist Convention, Inc.)
And this corporation shall have the
exclusive right and power at its
annual session, or at such other
time as shall be provided in the
bylaws to nominate and appoint
the officers, managers or directors
for each and all Of the said auXll-
larry boards.
This is strong, positive language,
but its weakness is found in the
fact that it carries no penalty what
soever for the failure Of any aux
iliary board to change its charter
and to have it conform to the speci-
fications of this section of the Con-
stitution. Any of these boards can
set its face against the National
Baptist Convention and ask, What
are you going to do about it? The
only reply can be made in non
recognition by the parent body.
The mamie H. Burroughs School
for Girls" is in possession OF an
original charter, a self-perpetuatlng
one, which is of equal dignity and
power with that held by the parent
body itself. The only power pos
sessed by the National Baptist Con-
vention or the Woman's Auxiliary
is to veto by a two-thirds vote any
sale of the property at any time
Of course, the National Training
School has the power to conform
to the rules, regulations, or specific
requirements of either the Ma
tional Baptist Convention, Inc, or
its auxiliary. we do not find, how
ever by it's charter that it is even
auxiliary to either the National
Baptist Convention or to the Wo-
mans Auxiliary. The only way
out is to come to an understanding
with the officials of this school or to
outlaw it, so to speak.
It possesses, under its charter

him into the tub carefully. Rinse him

Homework for Reducing.

A question that Is often raised by
homekeepers who are their own cooks
and housemaids relates to the value
Of housework as exercise. Some Of
these women think that they do not
need to take setting-up exercises, walk
out-of-doors or engage In outdoor sports
because their daily home routine calls
for plenty Of physical activity. such as
sweeping. scrubbing, washing, ironing
and stair climbing. Many business
women also who walk miles a day in
their Offices or shops do not see the
necessity for physical exertion during
their free hours.
The attitude OF each Of these groups
Of women seems reasonable enough.
Theoretically, they may be right In be-
lieving that they get plenty Of exercise
in the course of their days work, but
by the test of experience they are
wrong. There is no denying the fact
that home women who Go their own
housework and engage in no other form
of exercise very often become too stout
in spite of all their indoor labors, and
that many business women develop vide
hips and heavy legs though they spend
good part Of their Office time on
their feet.
It Is evident from these facts that
are UldtttIS Vi COIIliIlDH oU5eIFdLIOH tIldL
the amount and kind of exercise that
the average woman gets while engaged
In homemaking or business is not
enough to keep her figure slim and
graceful. Something more Is needed
to keep the abdomen fiat. reduce the
double chin and prevent the hips from
spreading. This something is exercise
especially designed for the correction
of these common faults. Frequently
dieting Is also required

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT

teacher teaches as much by personality
as by instruction. However important
the end. the learning Is often valuable
as the means Of enforcing the silent
habits Of emotion. TOO often the home
life affords too little for the growth OF
wholesome emotions. For the best re-
suits school and home must work TO-
gether. Whatever else the ends Of edu-
cation. happiness is one OF It's goals
and should accompany is course.
Nothing helps so much IN any erter-
prise as a happy state Of mind The
strengthening emotions do not appear
on the course of studies or in the rapport
card; their presence marks the siSnt
records Of the chiId's growth. Happy
school children make happy and
worthy sitiZens.
These vital matters are hard TO put
into words. Words are more suited to
convey ideas than feelings: but these
hints are not phrases. They must be
translated into actions. The most diIect
way 10 keep children mentally fit Is to
provide wholesome outlets for their
emotions and guide their emotional life
from day TO day. You work best when
you feel best, so do your children.
