Envy is at the root of untold evils. And envy?the lowest and meanest of all

Jf I by those who are inclined to falsehood without reason) it is
I I necessary to rem em bar that many -have been led into error
I through inaacur8te-observation. It is a well-known fact that
W a square divided horizontally appears greater in breadth
-qf I than in height, but when divided vertically it appears great
fl I erin height than in hreadth. Similarly, a man dressed in
black seems smaller and thinner than when clad in white.
We know, too, that when objects suddenly loom upon us on
a dark night we see them magnified extraordinarily. The causes of psychological
error are numerous. Fear and sorrow intercept sensations and falsify
them. An ordinarily courageous man, unnerved in a railway smash, declared
that he had seen a hundred bodies wedged between the carriages. As a matter
of fact, there was only one. On the same occasion another man ray away,
imagining that he could hear the derailed engine behind him for three-quarters
of an hour. A criminal named Gusio threw himself upon his warder and
the warder took to his heels in the belief that he saw a knife in the prisoner s
} hand; in reality it was a fish.
The image of a moving object Js the sum total of a series of images of
partial movement Some of these images are perceived only by one set of persons;
others by another set. Grassi records in his "Criminal Psychology"
* how, assisting at an execution where the hangman wore gloves, he asked four
others present of what color the gloves were. One said they were white, another
deposed they were black, a third was sure they were gray, while the
fourth swore that the hangman wore no gloves at all. In a game of dominoes
the player does not count the spots one by one. but, having before his eyes a
focused image, decides that there are seven or nine, as the case may be. But,
supposing these images did-.not conform to a type, the player would be obliged
to ascertain carefully each time before making his total, and he would still be
liable to make mistakes.. Something like this happens in all our perceptions.
Prof. Lute, who has applied to Jurisprudence ?o many of the conclusions
reached by criminal anthropology, one day had a homicide with dagger thrusts
enacted unexpectedly in school by two students. Immediately after he assembled
aTl his pupils who had witnessed this sham tragedy and made them giv i
evidence as if in court. Of sixty eye-witnesses of the same age, and all of
them well educated, scaroely ten gave really accurate evidence. All the rest
fell into more or less errors -of detail. More recently Weber has related his
experience with the members of the Society of Local Psychology at Gottingen.
Weber requested from each uf them a written statement of a sham crime pe
^ pctrated under their very eyes. Over half their number gave Inexact information.
while many of them gave imaginary details and agreed about the affair
only on general lines.

\ The "Hotel Child" |
^ Dangers That Beset the Unfortunate ^
I Offspring of Restless Parents : ^
\ By Miss Martha S. Bensley, a Afursery Governess. \
ST Is not the material aids to existence which are the bane
of the hotel child; it is the mental and spiritual attitude
accompanying this life which is to be depreciated. It destroys
a democratic spirit through emphasizing the difference
between the servant and the served; it exaggerates the pow
er of money, fosters a spirit of dependence, and unfits the
pampered individual for any other kind of life; and, worse
of all, in a child so brought up there can be no understand- or.H?ntr
nr love of home. There may be some future for the child who knows
OVuautuQ ?
nothing of art?some function for the one to whom literature makes no appeal
and who Is not sensitive to music, but there is no place in the state for the
man who has neither Initiative, self-reliance, patriotism, nor love of home.
He is a social menace, a disease. The community is better off without this
satelite of the manager, parasite of the bellboy, and source of supply for the
waiter.
If there is/one child in our community who is superfluous, it is the
hotel child. As places for temporary occupation by homeless and childless
adults, hotels are to be tolerated; but as residences for children, they are
without the possibility of excuse.?Everybody's.

The President's Address.
To the white population as well as
to the black, it is of the utmost iru- t
jH>rtance that the negro be encouraged
to make himself a citizen of the
highest type of usefulness. It is to
the interest of the white people that
this uolicv be conscier.ltionslv pitsued, e:
and to the interest ot 1 he colored peo- Si
pie that they clearly realize that they p
have opportunities for economic dc- jj
vetopmen here in the South not now n
offered elsewhere Wit Inn the last s<
twenty years the industrial operations r,
of the South have incrased 'so tre- P(
merxkmsly that there is a scarcity of 0
labor almost everywhere; so that it p
is the part of wisdom for all who wish j,
"the prosperity of the South to help r,
he negro to become in the highest y
dee:*ee useful to himself, and there- ir
ftwe to the community in which he
Irnes. The South has always dei>ond- ?
ed. and now depends, chie'iy upon her (]
native population for her work. 0
Therefore in view of the^scarcity not ^
only of common labor, but of skiled v
labor, it becomes doubly important to jj
train even- available man to be of the j,
utmost use, by developing his intelli- ^
irence. his skill and his capacity for
conscientious effort, llenee the work t|
of Tnskcesee Normal an<l Industrial
Institute is a matter of the lushest
practical importance to both the white ^
and the black man. and well worth the ^
support of both rnocs alike in the v
'South ami in the North. Vonr fifteen ^
hundred students are not only being
educated in the licad and heart, but
al>?? trained to industrial eraoicnev: jj
for from the beginning Tuskecgee
has placed especial emphasis ui>on
tlu training of men and women in
ay tien It nre. mechanics and house- .j
hold duties. Trainiuy in these three j
fundamental directions does net embrace
al that the negro or any other .
race needs, but it does cover in a very j.j
inrye degree the field in which the
ncjtro <*;:u -it present do most for liim- I
selt and be most helpful to his white 0<
neighbors. Kvery black man who
leaves this institute better able to do
mechanical or industrial work, adds
by much to the wealth of the 0
whole community and benefits all poo- a
pie in the community. The profes- ,
sional and mercantile avenues to success;
are overcrowded, for the present a
the best chance of success awaits the
int<li?ent worker at some mechanical
trade or on a farm; for this man will
almost certainly achieve industrial independence.
I am pleased, but not in jr
the least surprised to learn that many
amony the iron and women trailed at a
Tuskoe<ree find immediate employment
as leaders and workers am?>n^ their t1
own people, aud that their services are
eagerly sought by white people for ci
va lions kinds of indns'iial woik, the

Every dollar put into the education of
oitlher white man or black man, in s
head, in hand and in the heart, yields F
rich devidends to the entire communty.
Merely from the economic stand- f<
point it is of the utmost consequence e
to all ?wr eitirtMis that ins'iluti'ins
such as Tuskeegee should be a sue- b
ccss, ? But there are other and oven Si
hi<rher reasons that entitle it to our
support. In tlie interest of humanit'
of justice, and of self-protection
en1 white man in America, no rr
where he lives, should try to help,
negro to help himself. It is the
tercst an for the protection of the *
white man to see that the negro is
educated. It is not only the duty of
the white man, but it is to his in- p
terest. to see Unit the nogro is pr
teotcd in property, in life, and in h
his legal rights. Every time law is n
linkpr everv individual in the com- c?
munity lias the moral tone of Jiis life
lowered. Lawlessness in the United
States is not confined to \nv section; 11
lynching is not confined to any sec- t(
tion; and there is perhaps no body of ^
American citizens who have deserved ^
so well of 'lie entire American iieople jj
as the publte men. the publicists, tho tl
clergymen, the countless thousands of
high-rui ruled private citizens who have
dSne sr ni heroic work in the South
in ? routing public opinion against lawlcssnas
in all itts forms, and esi>ocially
nirff^st their example will count in
the North as well as in the South, for hJ
there are just as great evils to be fc
warred against in one region of onr 0,
country as in another, though they are Sj
not in all places the same evils. And re
when any body of men in any com- ca
runnity stands bravely for what is si
right, those men not merely serve a di
useful parj-ose in doing the partic- na
ular task to which they set themselves &
but give a lift ts the eauso of good ,a
I
tizenski, w./oughont Uie T'nion. I
eartily appreciate what you have
r*ne at Tuskeegee; and I am sure you
ill not grudge my saying that it
>uld not possibly have be<'u done
ive for the loyal support you have
;eeived from the white ]M?ople round
bout; for during the 2o years of ef>rt
to educate the black man here in
ic midst of a white community of in'lligence
and culture, there has never
pc-u an outbreak between the races or
ny difficulty of any kind. All honor
; due to the white men of Alabama,
>. the white- men of Tuskcegee for
hat they have done. And right here,
t me say that if in any community
nisnnderstandin!? between the races
rises, over any matter, infinitely the
est way aut is to have a prompt,
rank and full conference and conaltation
between /epresentatives of
ic wise, decent, cool-headed men
mong the whites and the wise, decent,
x>l-headed colored men. Such a con?rence
will always tend to brine:
bout a better understanding:, and will
? a great help all around.
Hitherto I have spoken chiefly of
ae obligation existing: on the part of
lie white man. Now let you rememer
on the other hand taat no help
an permanently avail you save as you
ourselves develop capacity for self
el p. You young: colore d men and
omen educated at Tus'ceegrec must
y precept and example lead your felnvs
toward sober, industrious, law
bi<li* g lives.
Y< u are in honor bound to join
av.ds in favor of law and order and
> war against all crime, especially
gainst all crime of men of your own
ace; for the heaviest wrong: done by
lie criminal is the wrong to his own
ace. You must teach the people of
-M.r race that they must scrupulously
bserve any contract into which they
i good faith enter, no matter whethr
it is hard to keep or not. If you
ave money, secure homes, become tax
oji.1 lonrt I'lp.nn dru-pnt raodest
.vps, you will wi ntlie respect of your
eighbors of both races. I.et each man
trive to excel his fellows only by
pndering substantial service to the
immunity in which he lives. The colred
people have many difficulties to
ass through, but these difficulties will
e surmounted if only the policy of
pason and common sense is pursued,
'ou ha?e made real and great proress.
According to the census the

Greenville, S. C., for the erection of
the new building, which will be a
four-story, SOxlOO-foot annex to its
present structure. In this building
