In a series of reports on the school situation throughout the Unitoi States, portions of which are on The Observer exchange table, are manv learned treaties, and if one outstrips another for logic, It Is that which por trays the rural schools of the country. compiled by a committee of 12 men appointed by the National Educational association at a recent national con vention. The report Is ff-rtlle wKh Jbraln foodstuff. One striking thesis of the lot U one dealing with the edu cation of the negro, a paramount question, truly, for not far out in the aim horizon of the future that topic will be one for national convention, a bone of contention in the great legiHla tWe halls of the state and even the lation. Here In the north where we eoe perhaps a dozen negroes In each town, we have no conception of the vast Import of the question, and It !s not to be wondered at that these re ports devote page after page to the subject matter in hand. The negro should teach the negro affirms the committee of 12 learned men who have given months of time over and above-a practical knowledge beforehand, to the subject. They ad vance many reasons, but the most po tent one as being "race Identity Is an important factor In educational work. jThe teacher and the taught must pos aess a common consciousness, a tmi .tual affinity, as a condition of proper Intellectual andsmoral growth. The teacher must-embody In his personal ity the historic race epochs and pro cesses of development- represented 'n the pupil, in order that the Intellectu al powers of the child may be Invested with that atmosphere of sympathy and appreciation necessary to their healthy activity.

After being hugged by their opponents close ly being tied with them a greater portion of the time the Juniors shot well Into the lead toward the close of the game and ended the exciting con test, 13 to 8 in their favor. Aggress iveness coupled 'with fortune won for the Jutilors. Almost continually tne playing was in the seniors' territory due lo an iiiuisci luuutAtv the ball Instead of systematic passes. The- percentage of goals successfully thrown of the attempts made by Jun iors -was much less than the same condition with the seniors. In view of the fact that most of the playing was dono under the senior goal, at tempt followed attempt at goal, but Oeddea and Carpy lacked accuracy. With more practice both of these men will become valuable adjuncts to the team. Occasionally, but not frequently by any means, the seniors would show n dash of speed that outclassed anything exhibited by the Juniors In the way of team work. With a fine display of passing and' headwork. tli.y wou'd work the ball down a portion of t.io field and then lose It on a mlsplay.
