NEGROES TEACH NEGROES.
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.

appointed by the National Educational
association at a recent national con
vention. The report Is ff-rtlle wKh

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

cesses of development- represented 'n
the pupil, in order that the Intellectu

with that atmosphere of sympathy
and appreciation necessary to their
healthy activity. The historic con

ME WON
Inability to complete what they had
started, spelled defeat for the seniors
at tho rink last evening in the first
game of an lnterclass series for the
championship of the schools. 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.
The older men had but few' chance
at throwing, but seized most of tlucm
profitably.

and Reynolds were the most consist -out

Chliders threw the first goal, but
Geddes and Carpy found the basket at
frequent Intervals, derides seorlttg '
points and Carpy four. Reynold
helped Childers with another field

A beautiful line of the famous Kl-
s This is the store where the things you want don'fc cost "just
a little bit more than you had planned to pay". We have purchased
such astounding quantities of timely merchandise that we've been
able to dictate pretty strongly to the manufacturers and so you'll
find the things you'll want here, for prices that are a good deal less
than you've been used to paying. That all means that your Christ
mas list may be made out generously and that you'll save substan
tially on every purchase you make. If Santa Glaus himself isn't at
this store right now, he ought to be; he'd feel quite at' home among
the great piles of useful holiday .things that crowd the counters. '
Gome and at once if you wish to abolish worries and enjoy every
minute you spend in planning for Ghristmas. .
