Hartley today denounced the Wickersham Commission’s eriticisms of ‘Wash! penal institutions as con- taining “untrue and extravagant state- | ments” ‘and accused Kenneth Mackin- « tosh, Washington member of the body, of being “disloyal to his native State.” The Governor's statement defended ; the State's administration of the peni- | tentiary at Walla Walla and the re- formatory at Monroe. ! “On the assumption the information regarding other penal institutions is no | more reliable than that dealing with the ‘Washington institutions,” he said, “the | report will be of little or no value and the money appropriated by Con- gress for this work can be written off a3 & total loss.” PRISON MODERNIZED.

Protect: Health. “By using the most modern appli- ances and equipment, we are guarding and protecting the health of the in- mates, and when the time comes for them to leave, they will be well in body and in mind and ready to live a clean and upright life ther-after.” The prison boasts modern electrical labor-raving de s in every depart- ment. inciuding €lectric potato peelers for the Kkit~hen: larze. roomy cells, equipped with beds, table and chair, | clothes hooks, drinking fountath and | wash bow], and radio wall plug.

NEGRO EDUCATION VEWED AS URGENT Dr. Cooper Tells Colored Teachers Race Must Train for New Era. If he would survive this “machine era,” the Negro must have mental de- velopment instead of mere brawn, Dr. William John Cooper, United States Commissioner of Education, told the opening session of the twenty-eighth annual convention of the National As- sociation of Teachers in Colored Schools | last night at the Armstrong High School. “The Negro,” Dr. Cooper asserted, “cannot survive in this machine ers if he has nothing to sell but his brawn. He must be educated after every fashion to suit developments of the times. He must cease to put emphasis on his han- dicaps, and place that emphasis square- ly in his potentialities. He must em- phasize his educational assets rather than his liabilities.” o i Dr. Luther Reichelderfer, president of he Board of District Commissioners; Mrs. Mary A. McNell, member of the District of Columbia Board of Educa- tion, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, first as- sistant superintendent of schools in charge of colored schools, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the District. Equal Education Sought.
