words of an English football authority, Mr. G. L. Paten, 'The player gets some elementary conception of the salient truth that the great results in this world are attained only when men work loyally and heartily together for the attainment of a common end. He learns also that self-restraint is one of the three virtues which lead to

sovereign power. He learns pluck,

and he learns how to concentrate

his efforts. He learns, above all, justice to an opponent, and that the essential condition for corporate action is the strict adherence to law. He must not only play up; he must play the game.''

On Sunday, November 20, we were very glad to have a visit from Chapman Scanandoah of the U. S.

S. Tallahassee. Mr. Scanandoah came to Hampton twenty-two years ago, took the machinist's trade, and in 1897 enlisted in the Navy. Since then his life has been a varied and eventful one, beginning with a trip around Cape Horn on the Marietta at the time of our war with Spain, and including visits to nearly every country in the world. The Indian boys gathered in the Museum between supper and prayers to listen to his tales of life on board a man-of-war, of his gradual promotion to his present position

of chief machinist, and to hear from one who knows that, after all is said, there is "no place like home," and that America is a good place to come back to.

AST March the Workman told with quite full detail of the work of Stephen Jones. Recently a letter has been received telling of his splendid work for young men, and something of the more recent development of his plans. He says, "I am now in my third year as general secretary of the young men's Christian associations among the Indians. I have enjoyed the work very much, and I have also very much to do.

"Our work has now grown to a great extent; it covers the states of Nebraska, South and North Dakota, Montana, part of Minnesota,

and also Manitoba and Saskatche

wan in Canada. I try to reach all the associations within this field once a year, but I find it rather hard at times. We have sixty-six associations and the membership reaches into hundreds. Many have buildings, but they are not magnificent buildings as in the cities; in every case they are log houses.

The Indians are away from the cities and towns and cannot buy lumber, so they have to cut logs and saw them into boards, and with these they build. The roof is dirt, the floor is of boards, the plastering is mud or clay; but every Indian takes great pride in such a home, as he helped to build it, and it is the home of the association. Some of the Indians make great sacrifices; perhaps the money they should buy food with is given for the work, or when they have no money they will usually give a horse worth from forty to sixty dollars. Many times my heart feels sad to see these earnest Christians giving their last cent for the work, but they give it cheerfully.”

Mr. Jones urges the necessity for more of Christian teaching and Bible study in Indian schools, and tells further of a conference of the district leaders of the Y. M. C. A., which he recently called together to discuss plans for the coming year. The plan is to send two men into the field, to such places as Mr. Jones himself is unable to reach, who will devote all of their time for some months to an effort to increase Bible study among Indians on the reservations. Financially, also, their plans are most interesting as they include the raising of three hundred and fifty dollars to be sent to the International Committee in New York to help out in mission work.

T is announced from Colorado Springs that James K. Polk Taylor, a former slave seventy-one years old, and his wife have given 480 acres of land at Calhan to the Charles Humner Tuberculosis Association as a site for a national tuberculosis association sanitarium for colored people.

Mr. J. D. McDuffy, a Negro of Ocala, Fla., is a very successful truck farmer. Eleven years ago he started with a rented three-acre farm, and now owns over six hundred acres of land. Last season he shipped ninety cars of watermelons and eighteen cars of cantaloupes to Northern markets. In connection with his fruit farm Mr. McDuffy is also a stock-raiser. The proceeds from the latter busi

ness amount to nearly ten thousand pounds of pork annually. In the fruit season he employs about one hundred and twenty-five hands.

The Indians of the Chilikoot country, in Alaska, made a rich haul this season. The Chilikoot cannery put up 10,000 cans more than last year, and because of the good work of the Indians gave them a "potlatch" dance at Haines, which was attended by more than three hundred natives. One Indian during the fishing season of six weeks

caught 8500 fish, netting him $680. The entire crew of Indians was paid $25,000 for the season. Spokane Chronicle

A new Science Hall has recently been dedicated at Howard University, and nearly six hundred students are now receiving regular instruction there in chemistry, physics, and biology.

The corner stone was laid on Thanksgiving Day of a new $25,000 building in course of construction at the Christiansburg (Va.) Industrial Institute for Negroes. With the completion of this building, Marshall Hall, the Institute property will consist of ten buildings and 185 acres of land valued at

$75,000.

To supply a demand which it is felt the future will make for “chauffeurs of the air," the Negro Manual Training School in Washington, D. C. has added to its curriculum a course in aviation. In this aviation course no attempts at flight will be made, but the principles of propelling an airship through its natural medium will be taught by means of a small model which travels along a wire, its motor being driven by electricity.

New York Tribune

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY presents in an interesting monogram entitled, "Efforts for Social Betterment among Negro Americans," the report of a study made by the University under the patronage of the John F. Slater Fund. The efforts of which the report takes note are mainly those of the Negroes themselves in behalf of their own race; but mention is also made

of certain efforts by whites de

signed to uplift the Negro, and of certain Negro charities of which whites, as well as Negroes, are beneficiaries. The showing is highly creditable to the Negroes.

If you will study the history of Austria, you will find that it is divided up into seventeen different peoples. We speak about race problems here, but we do not know anything about race problems. There are seventeen peoples in Austria alone and each race has its own language and each race contends that it is the superior race. All the other sixteen races are inferior, each one contending that the other sixteen should learn its language.
