and railroads augmented their per-
aenal service staffs. The shipping
lines absorbed a portly quota Of
labor, chef cooks. walters, and
.lnngshoremen.
The Present
Today, the Negro population Of
Seattle is close to five thousand.
The bulk Of that population being
concentrated IN two districts:
Twenty-fourth Avenue and East
Madison Street, and Twelfth Az
enue and jackson Street, The rest
are to be found in the Green Lake,
Rainier, Terry Avenue, apd the
East Howell districts They sup
port six churches and sixteen fra
ternal organizations. The two
churches having the largest MEM
berships are the First A. M. &.
and the Mt Zion Baptist.
Negro response to the educa-
tional opportunities offered them
here in the state of Washington
has been very slow. From a sur
vey made in 1880 of attendance
in the public schools Of Seattle. it
was found that 1850 of the Negro
children between the ages Of seven
and thirteen years were enrolled in
SCHOOL, between the ages of four
teen and fifteen there was an en-
rollment of 1850; from sixteen
and seventeen, there was 1919; and
the enrolment from eighteen to
twenty showed decided drop of
20.7e5. Eleven colored students
enrolled at the University OF
Washington in 1928, and in 1888,
there were twenty-three

EDUCATION AND THE NEGRO

As the nation paused this month and focused attention
American Edusaon Week. considerable stress was laid
on vocational education and Importance to American
Negroes At the seine time emphasis placed pro-
grams designed train the hands well the brain IN
order that individually and collectively the group viii find
its capabilities recognized wider scale and greater
measure OF economic independence realized
The gradual unfolding of the years brings closer and
closer the truth of Booker Washngtons statement that
the American Negroes greatest need knowledge of
trade profession which he IS particularly skilled Not
only has specific training become matter of great impor
tance to the Negro but the whole world turning to the
type industrial education Tuskegees founder put into
operation thus leaving unquestioned his right to be called
the father of industrial education"
without education suited to his specific needs American
Negroes will suffer ike all others seeking solutions to the
problems of life without facing matters squarey and work
ing upward rather than attempting opposite procedure
It is healthy sign of progress to observe this new
trend thought and action by the Negro In substantial
sense be said that he is the right road to
self advancement.

Anchors

The first anchors we have any
record of were those used by the
Egyptians. They were made of
stone incased in a rope network,
and were called drag stone. The
Chinese used iron and lead an
chors 1000 BIC. The word anchor
is of Greek origin meaning hook
or crooked. Iron anchors have been
fished up from the bottom Of the
seas in Europe dated 500 BIC. Cast
steel is now used for anchors In
a ratio of about one pound of
anchor to each ton of ship. Bat
tleships carry three or more of
these anchors.

 And the navy is trying to get Congress to pass the act.
 It's this way.
 Naval officers are forbidden to take compartments in Pullmans be- cause the expense is greater than necessary. At the same time, an officer charged with handling secret documents is likely to lose his com mission if he loses the documents. Therefore, he has to take berth and stay awake because he can't lock it.
