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.

missionary training department fifteen

young women, four of whom were
pledged to go to Africa on the comple
tion of their studies and one to Haiti.
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.

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.
The boy scout movement has reach
ed the Malay peninsula, and Singa
pore Is to have a fine organization
under the patronage of the governor
and chief justice. It Is a good thing
In many ways, aside from the military
training, and bids fair to become one
of the permanent and most popular
Institutions of the peninsula. All
through the British colonies boy scout
organizations are being formed. Con

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
