HISS BURROUGHS' LEADERSHIP Woman's Auxiliary Convention Con tributes $15,000 to Foster the Work of the National Training School For Women and Girls Strong Temper ance Plank In Its Curriculum. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The contribution of more than $15, 000 for the education of girls and women by the woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist con vention, is another chapter in that re markable series on self help among the colored people that in later years has marked their efforts at race prog ress. All the efforts of the convention have lately been centered In the es tablishment and maintenance of the National Training School For Women and Girls, -which is located at Lincoln heights. District of Columbia, and In -which it Is the aim to teach girls and women of the race how to live and be of service. The institution Is devoting itself en tirely to the development of the best that there Is in every woman and girl and thus creating within her self reli ance and a deep sympathy that will so clear her vision that she will see her duty on every hand and will not be lacking In the determination to do her part welL The moving spirit In all this work Is Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, a gobd rep resentative of the new, conscientious young womanhood, who for several years has been the corresponding sec retary of the woman's convention, which fosters the new school. The work of the institution during the past year has more than justified its exist ence. Miss Burroughs, by constantly call ing attention to the efficacy of the work she is doing, was able to report at the recent meeting of the conven tion more than $15,000 for the work in one year. Besides maintaining this school for the exclusive training of young women the convention, through Miss Bur roughs, supplies large quantities of lit erature to local organizations of a mis sionary character, helps mnlntaln mis sionaries in African fields, takes care of several African students in other Baptist schools, does juvenile work and In many ways acts as a guide and restraining Influence upon many of the women of the race, whom it can reach.

Domestic science Is taught, the value of which, as an economic asset; Is Im pressed upon the students dally by the principal and teachers. Miss Burroughs Is a pronounced ad vocate of the theory that if colored girls and women are to perform any portion of the. domestic work In the tunllles of the south and of the nation t behooves them to be. abl to do it VbQ enough to shut out any cl&a of competition. In this connection she is also pro nounced in her Ideas as to the proper conduct of young women and at the risk of considerable criticism from ul tra extremists occasionally gives the women and girls with whom she comes In contact throughout the country some rather plain advice. The National Training school takes on a great work and as far as Its limited apparatus will permit Is "making good." In its curriculum room is left for pronounced instruc tion along these lines, not the least of which Is temperance: "If we cannot put Into office men who are opposed to saloons we can put out of the pulpit men who do not stand for temperance. If we cannot vote the saloon out of town we can vote the beer bucket and the whisky flask out of the home and out of the pocket." What has been done to secure the plant, which Is already valued at up ward of $20,000. has been done by the race. Miss Burroughs proceeding on the theory that It Is better to demon strate what the race can do for its own uplift before seeking outside aid. A Grasshopper Cure. Blake Hoggatt, the most tobacco chewing negro in these parts, says he has found a new way to exterminate grasshoppers. Blake says to catch a couple of the hoppers and pinch them on the leg? until the muscles become sorv. Then turn them loose. They will bop o iiueerly that all the other grarshoppers will die laughing. The h?rl part." Blake says. Is to catch the two original grasshoppers after' the other are all dead and kill them. LeeavMe (Colo.) Light The Opium Habit In London. After a thorough investigation the Fall Mall Gazette has come to the conclusion that the opium habit Is shockingly prevalent among the "work ing classes of London. One phase of the evil Is the impregnating of ciga rettes with opium, which, the Gazette asserts, "Is rampant, especially among the mill girls of Lancashire, who find It Irresistible as a solace and means of obtaining temporary relief from the weariness and pain attendant on a life of toiL" The Boy Scouts Movement.

Shields For Soldiers. Experiments conducted In England suggest the possibility that shields may once more form an Important part of the equipment of on army. Steel shields three millimeters in thickness and about ISO square Inches In area have been devised, which af ford complete protection against bul lets fired from the service rifle at a range of 400 yards. The small size of the shield, which weighs only seven pounds, requires that the soldier shall lie prone on the ground in order to be sheltered. Each shield has a loophole for the rifle and studs at the aides, so that a series of them can be linked Into a continuous screen. The Idea Is that by the use of such, shields the necessity of dig ging trenches may often be avoided Harper's Weekly. An Indian God Rock.
