SPEAKS ON ONLY INVITED GUESTS I Ministers Hear Historical Facts Relating to Importation of Colored Persons A presentation of historical facts relating to the negroes, how they were brought here from Africa and have helped to make this a mighty nation, was made yesterday before the regu lar monthly meeting of the Ministerial Association of Harrisburg by tho Rev. William A. Creditt, president of the Downlngton Industrial School for the Negro. The Rev. Howard Wayne Smith, extension secretary of the same' institution, also addressed the ministers. The Rev. Dr. Creditt's subject was ! "America's Only Invited .Guests." He Said that the white man forced the | negro to leave his home in Africa, \ and that he was brought here protest ing against his wishes. "Tho white man needed the negro to help solve his problem of founding here a great and mighty nation," Dr. Creditt said, "and the negro was put to building houses and roads and cul tivating the tlelds nn.d digging in the mines so that the white man might here build an empire. In the war with [(treat Britain 50,000 negroes fought on the side of the Colonists and in the I Civil War more than 200,000 colorbd | men were enlisted and did active war service. "With the liberation of the slaves the problems of the negro came to the fore and have been ever sin.ee, but thousands of the colored race In this country are heroically addressing themselves to their solution. The white man has given the negro splen did encouragement and help, but not in the fullest measure as the negro re quired and the white man owed. Must Have Hacking "Such institutions as Tuskegee and j 'Downlngton are helping in the solu-( ;tion of the problem, but they must have a large measure of public senti | nient back of the into make their : work adequately efficient. | "Large nlumbers of colored laborers I are being brought North by employ-| | ment agencies. The Downlngton Tn ■ stitution is trying to leaven the whole | lump, but its principal mission is to; I orphan colored children anil that it | may industrially educate these the ! school asks for the support of public ; interest." Annual Meeting ! Hearty applause greeted Dr. Creditt | when he finished his address. The j Itev. Mr. Smith outlined the academic and industrial policy of the school. Both of the addressed were formally i referred ot he executive committee of jthe Ministerial Association with in jstructions to take such steps as will I nrovlde the people of Harrisburg with information concerning the objects of the school and to create an interest in its work for the negro. Thes annual meeting of the Minis terial Association will be held next month on a date to be decided later. Officers to serve for the ensuing year will be elected at the meeting. The nominating committee consists of the Rev. S. W. Herman, chairman; the Rev. George Schaum and the Rev. A. J. Green.

Hangen was appointed a committee of one to | arrange for the luncheon and to se |cure afier-dinner speakers. FinH Missinp Pastor Serving 90-Day Sentence Pittsburgh. Masch 27. The Rev. William R.

Child Labor Investigators Re-- port on Rural School Attendance A detailed report of a study of farm work and school attendance in seven counties in Kentucky In 1910 has just been published by the Na tional Child Labor committee in tho quarterly Child Labor Bulletin. Rural child labor has never received much attention, according to this committee, but recent studies in Colorado, Ken tucky and other States show that there is a close connection between chil dren's work on tho farms and tho poor school attendance and high per centage of illiteracy in rural districts. In the seven counties studied, the re port states, the greatest number of absences from school in the four months studied were due to farm work. Furthermore, the children ab sent on farm work had a higher per cent. of retardation in school than other children. Among white chil dren only 13,2 per cent, of the daily attendants were retarded, 22.8 pci* cent, of the children absent for other reasons than farm work, and 4 8.8 per cent, of the farm work absentees. Among negro children the per cent, for daily attendants was 34.2, for oth er absentees, 4 9.2, and for farm work absentees, 72.6 per cent. One reason for this state of affairs Is said to bo that "farm work is steady whereas illness (as a cause of absence) is occa sional; moreover, farm work occurs year after year, while illness may oc cur only once." Tho work the children do on Ken tucky farms is chiefly in the tobacco fields, the investigators found, al though other forms of farm work also exist. Considerable sfaee is given ill the report to a discussion of tho eco nomic condition of the tenant farmer, ■ because "it may be that under the customary arrangements for sharing products with the landowner, for bor rowing money and obtaining credit at stores, the tenant farmer is unable to keep his children in school throughout the term on account of the demand of ! his work, and his inability to hire | labor." A Kentucky school trustee is quoted as saying, "Give lis a fair price I for our tobacco, and I will guarantee that the farmers will send their chil dren to school and illiteracy will be wiped out." The Child Labor Bulletin contains, besides the Kentucky report, an ac count of Juvenile work In Washington, I). C., and of recreational and educa tional opportunities provided the 14- to-16-year-old workers in Massachu setts. Copies may be obtained from the National Child Labor committe, 105 East 22d street. New York city. AX ORDEAL The defending troops are exposed to a far more terrible ordeal than those attacking. They are subjected for many hours to the intense and excruciating torture of the bombard ment. By this they are driven into underground shelters, killed, buried alive, stunned, or driven mad. Then suddenly and swiftly breaks upon them the great Irruption of furious attacking infantry. If this onrush cannot be stopped by such machine guns as have not been destroyed, ot by the fire o fa sprinkling of surviv ing rillemen, the defenders in th area successfully assaulted are jtr&iA tically all accounted for. The mo™ they have been cowed by the artillery, the more they tend to remain crowd ed in their dugouts until the moment when it is impossible for them t
