How would you have us, as wc are, Or sinking 'neath the load we bear? Our eyes fixed forward on a star / Or gazing empty at despair ? Rising or falling? Men or thingg?

Newark is the metropolis of New Jersey, and is primarily noted as a manufacturing city. It is in the northeastern section of the state, and is located upon the banks of the Passaic River, and is admirably situated, not only having a river and port frontage, but also good railroad facilities. It is entered by four or five trunk lines, and has ready access to the transportation equipment of New York City, which is only nine miles distant. Newark is therefore kept in touch with all ports of the world by reason of the variety of work done here. In fact, Newark is said to have the most diversified range of industries of any city of its size in the United States. It ranks eleventh in the list of the largest manufacturing cities, and its leading products are leather, jewelry and cellu- loid. The population of Newark is estimated to be around four hundred and fifty thousand. The census of 19 lo gave it three hundred forty-seven thousand and four hundred and sixty-nine inhabitants; but the influx since the great war has added a great deal more ; since a great many large war industries located within or near Newark. The towns of Montclair, Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, Irving- ton, Hilton, Lyons Farms and the Oranges are prosperous and form the nucleus of a Greater Newark. They are all connected with Newark by an extensive street railway and motor bus system ; although the largest of these towns have railroad service. The educational system is one of the finest in the country, without any exag- geration. It is up to date in its methods and the school buildings are of the latest type in construction and equipment. There are fifty-four public schools, four high schools, industrial, commercial and classical, two vocational and open-air schools, besides a state normal school. I'here are also several schools for defectives, three ungraded schools, school for the deaf and a school of in- dustrial art. Some of the public schools are all year schools, and there are also all year recreation centers. The residents of Newark are very fortunate in having drinking waler from the finest watershed in the Eastern States. This watershed is located in an area just north of Newark, in the Pequanack Valley, and comprises sixty- two-and a half square miles, of which fifty-seven and a half per cent, is owned by Newark. The city owns 23,000 acres around the watershed and is con- tinually adding to it, having purchased in 19 15 over 1,900 acres. By this method the quantity and purity of the water is assured. The supply to New- ark is fifty million gallons daily. The system is worth twenty million dollars, and costs annually a quarter of a million to maintain. There are three things to remember in connection with Newark's water supply — first, its purity; second, its abundance; third, that it is owned by the city. May we venture to suggest to the residents of Newark a greater civic pride and appreciation of Newark's greatness and possibilities, and a hearty invitation to those, who have not visited this city, and a heartier invitation to come and stay, for these Newark offers a most cordial welcome. THE COLORED GIRL IN THE NEW INDUSTRIAL SITUATION. By Cecelia Cabaniss Saunders General Secretary Colored Women's Branch. The greatest heritage the war has left to the colored woman, in com- mon with her sisters of all hues and races has not been the fact that new posi- tions have been opened to her, but rather the abolition of the tradition that certain positions in trades, business and professions are the inherent right of any race or sex, and the establishment of a precedent which must act as an opening wedge ; henceforth inclination and efficiency, not sex or race, must de- cide in what occupation one shall engage. More strictly speaking, this result can really not be considered a product of the war; it was merely hastened by the necessities of the war. It was in the line of progress and had to come. To- day, therefore, we have colored girls emploj^ed in department stores as stock girls, wrappers, elevator operators, shoppers, etc.; in commercial and business houses as stenographers, typists, bookkeepers, billing-machine operators; in Federal, State and Municipal departments as clerks, nurses, food demonstra- tors, social investigators, etc. It is true that colored girls have been in the various trades and shops for many years, but the numbers have been greatly increased. In New York City it has been not so much a matter of replace- ment as of dilution ; it has not been a matter of whole factories or even whole processes being given over, but rather an absorption of colored women into the rank and file. The results have been the same as have attended the introduction of any new and unorganized group into industry. There has been the usual exploita- tion. For the same reasons or excuses that have been given for reducing the wages paid to women when they have replaced men, wages paid colored women have been lower than those paid white wom.en for a corresponding amount and grade. Naturally colored women have fared better in this respect with con- cerns never having employed women at all, since they were able to skip one step in the process of replacement. The waging of a common economic warfare in conjunction with others of her sex has been of educational value to the colored girl. The study of the her to interpret the oppostion to her entering industry rather as a stage in in- history and methods of trades unions that has been forced upon her has helped dustrial evolution where each successive group which has gained industrial opportunity has sought to restrain the next lower group in the scale, and not merely as another evidence of race prejudice. To be sure this has been a con- tributory cause, but a minor one, and it has arisen more from a natural dislike to the unlike, the unknown, the untried, than from purely racial reasons. Because just after the signing of the armistice the colored woman was the first to be dropped from the war industries, some argued that she would per- manently lose her place in industry, whereas the cause for her being dropped was the inevitable result of the cancellation of war contracts. The colored woman will remain in industry for a very fundamental economic reason ; she represents cheap labor, and in her present unorganized state, scab labor; the attractive qualities in the eyes of the employer, who more than ever is seeking world trade. How long this condition will obtain will depend upon the busi- ness sagacity and the quick action of the various trades unions. This is a matter demanding the attention particularly of the garment unions, where colored women are competing in such large numbers. At the present time their locals are inviting the membership of colored women, but they have not as yet undertaken the intensive educational campaign necessary to overcome their prejudice. The need of the colored women at this time is for industrial training, organization and the opportunity to be judged as an individual worker. YOUR BOY'S FUTURE. By H. Addington Bruce. This is to be your boy's last year in school, after which he is to strike out in the world for himself. As yet, however, neither he nor you have given much thought to the question of what vocation he shall take up when his school days are ended. He knows that he will have to work at something. But he professes to have no special leaning to any particular kind of work. He is quite willing to launch into any business with money-making possibilities. That sounds reasonable enough. Actually it is unreasonable. I am tempted to describe it as irrational. For it leaves your boy quite at the mercy of circumstances. It leaves Chance as a determiner of his destiny. And Chance is more likely than not to determine his destiny badly. Chance may land him in a business for which he is physically, mentally and temperamentally unfit. He cannot make headway in such a business. He can only plod along miserably, perhaps to the wrecking of his health itself. Or suppose that he is a boy mechanically-minded rather than of intel- lectual ability. He would do best in some business where he would be called upon to handle machinery. Chance beckons him into a vocation where intellectual ability counts for most. His fate is not hard to foretell. If he sticks in that vocation — and he may fear to shift out of it — he will be an incompetent all his days. Suppose, for example, that he is a boy who has inherited a tendency to lung trouble. Work that would keep him much in the open would be pe- culiarly advantageous to him. But Chance offers him a lucrative opening in a business that confines him mdoors all the working day and keeps him in a cramped, stooping posture to do the desk work assigned to him. Accepting this opening, he exposes himself all unawares to exceptional liability to tuberculosis, pneumonia or some other disease of the lungs. No. If you really have your boy's future at heart you will not leave that future entirely in the hands of Chance. You will at least make an effort to help your boy choose his vocation wisely. And you had better begin at once, not wait until the time comes for him to make the great decision. Study your boy with reference to the school subjects in which he is most interested. Observe the occupations of his leisure. Talk to his teachers about him. Get their views with regard to his natural aptitudes. Take the family doctor into your confidence. Question him about your boy's physique, his bodily fitness for this or that vocation. Disregard your own desires as to the calling you personally would most prefer to see your boy take up. It is his future that is at stake, not yours. Do not let social aspirations blind you or mislead you. Better far to have your boy successful and happy in a socially inferior vocation than a failure and wretched in a socially superior one. The world has too many vocational misfits now. Save your boy from becoming another. The responsibility is yours and the opportunity. (Printed by permission of N. Y. Globe and the Associated Newspapers.) SUCCESS. By I. G. Kennedy. When the lives of all great characters in history are analyzed, it will be found that the outstanding virtues that have made their dreams' realization are modesty, vision, faith, an insatiable desire for knov/ledge and a capacity for great labor inspired by lofty ideals. The great Lincoln, that shining mark of inspiration for all American manhood, dreamed his simple dreams of boyhood, even as you and I. Dreamed his dreams of manhood from the songs of forest and stream, from the plowed furrow and from the simple teachings of a sainted mother. He is, all in all, the perfect type of humbleness exalted through the trials of adversity — self-denial, knowledge and modesty his guiding star. There is not a man in any business organization who has not at his com- mand greater opportunities for rising to any coveted goal than had this poor rail splitter. It would be impossible for you to walk ten city blocks in any American city without having thrust upon you a thousand means of knowl- edge and opportunity that were denied your fathers. "The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings." If every man v/ould treat his mind with half the consideration he would give the motive power of his automobile there would be no limit to his power. If he could only have a little brain garage where he could get down under the machine and remove the carbon of indifference and imaginary impediments, if he could only touch up the spark plugs of his imagination — oh, what a dif- ference. If he could only use one hour a day in his general overhauling, imag- ine the speed he could generate! Can 3'ou imagine any hill he wouldn't take "on high?" We are all made in the image of God, endowed with all the energy of a buzz saw in motion, if we will only steam up the old engine of ambition and enthusiasm. We are veritable waves of force and power, capable of wiping out any bulkhead of opposition, for we are, after all, all that we are after. We will not attempt to analyze the success and failures of the various men who have come and gone. But one question need be answered, and we will have their analysis. Did they get understanding? If they got under- standing, then it is not necessary to ask if they applied it, for they could not hold it back if they would, and would not if they could, because it is the most pleasurable and profitable thing in the world to use. It is irresistible, and it will not be submerj^ed. It is the lever that lays WaSte the mountain and pries the lid from every strong box. Yes it made a President out of the poor and ambitious Rail Splitter, "and it will answer your call, and go where you bid it go. FoUov/ that occupation which most appeals to your imagination. ^ Each of us has implanted in him some sneciU pift. Successful men vv^ill admit to you that they attribute their success to doing the thing they most wanted to do. Yet, you will scarcely ever find a successful man who can analyze his own suc- cess. Theodore Roosevelt knew no more of the ways of his success than did Julius Caesar. No history has ever given us the details or formula of success ; but it is a good wager that knowledge, and love for knowledge, and the fun of chasing it in, has brought bigger returns than hard, aimless plodding. If your talent is salesmanship, develop the talent. The things wc think are but the things we do. If we think big thoughts we have paved the way for big deeds. If we attempt big things and fail, that part of our effort v/hich has been performed has not been lost; it remains as a guiding star for others who follow in the blazed trail of our undeveloped op- portunity. The man who takes up the unfinished task of the pioneer tries and puts his heart in it and follows it through, has only added the element of success which it originally lacked. Misfortune has made fortunes. Hardships have created ease. Warfare has given us peace. Disaster has brought us our greatest reforms. Competi- tion, which has always risen like a grim spectre at the beginning of any enter- prise, has usually proven itself to be its greatest benefactor. Opposition is but the test of man's endurance. Failure can never be written until we ourselves have written it. The measure of all success is well directed efifort, and all well directed effort means careful, consistent thinking. Thinking means planning and building must follow planning, else your dream will never be shaped into reality. Then, what is your dream? What vv'ould you attain? What price v/ill you pay. What lessons will you learn from the past? What is your goal? There is but one lamp to light you on your darkened way — the lamp of knowledge — the only thing you can't borrow from a kindly neighbor. Success is but a Dream come true, A firm resolve to see it through, A goal affixed, a shining light, A v/ill to do with all our might. Ni?ieiy per Cent, of xvisdorn consists cf being zvisr in time. — Theodore Rooscvsll BANKING HINTS. HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT— First call at the bank and make yourself known to some one of the officials, who will explain their service re- garding accounts. The receiving teller, as you make your first deposit, will give you a pass book and make the credit entries, which will be your receipt for the various sums deposited. This book is the property of the bank and should be used for no other purpose. At the same time your signature will be taken on a card kept for that special purpose, and you should always endorse notes and checks precisely in the same way, so as to avoid confusion. TO MAKE OUT DEPOSIT SLIPS— The bank will furnish you with deposit slips, which you should fill out and have proved by the teller. The cash, checks, drafts and other paper are always listed separately. Write figures in the column, add up, and express the total. Give your pass book and deposit slip to the Receiving Teller, so that he may enter the proper amount to your credit in your book. TO DRAW CHECKS— A check is merely an order for the bank to pay a certain sum to some person you designate. This sum is taken out of the funds standing to your credit. You can make checks payable to order or bearer, if made payable to order the person known as payee must endorse the check before the money will be paid by the bank. Checks payable to bearer can be presented by any one, paid and no questions asked. However, if the paying teller suspects that there is anything wrong when a bearer check is presented he may refuse to cash it until investigation is made. Care should be taken by the maker of a check to protect himself against a dis- honest use of his paper. Always write a check with pen and ink. Be sure you write the amount both in figures and words as far to the left as possible, so that nothing can be inserted before it; fill up remaining space with a heavy line, so that nothing can be added after the amount. Write your figures plainly and see that they agree in amount with the written amount given. CERTIFIED CHECKS— A certified check is guaranteed by the bank on which it is drawn to be good when properly endorsed. This guarantee is writ- ten across the face and signed by an official of the bank. This binds the bank to pay the check, but the bank may limit the time and usually does, in which it must be presented. ENDORSEMENTS — An endorsement is simply the signature of the payee on back of a check or other paper. All checks should be endorsed by the depositor when he deposits same, whether payable to his order or not. Endorse- ment to a specified person should read : Pay to the order of John Smith (Signature of Endorser). This check is then payable when endorsed by John Smith or to his order. INTEPvEST — Interest is the premium paid for the use of money or the accumulation of an unpaid debt. Interest should be paid when due, or else it may be considered as principal and also bear interest. This is called com- pound interest. COLLECTIONS — The collection department of a bank is of great value to its depositors. Notes, drafts and all negotiable paper will be accepted for collection and the bank notifies its customers promptly of the payment or refusal of all collections. PROTEST — When the bank has no funds to your credit to meet any note, draft or bill of exchange which you have given the matter is subject to protest, which is a written document drawn up by a notary public. The document is then attached to the dishonored paper and each endorser is at once notified -that payment has been refused. The holder must give notice to all whom he wishes to hold liable, but notice to any one endorser binds him, and if there are any other endorsers whom he wishes to hold liable he must notify them. In leaving paper for collection you should give the bank instrutions whether or not to protest for non-payment. DRAFTS AND ACCEPTANCE— A common method of collecting accounts is by either "at sight" or "time drafts." When a "Time draft" is presented to a drawee he acknowledges the obligation by writing across the face of the paper "accepted," giving also the date and his signature. OVERDRAFTS— The law on this point states that a Cashier or Teller should not pay money on a check when the funds to the credit of the drawer are insufficient to meet same. It further states that the drawee of the check is a party to the wrongful act, and the bank can recover the amount. It is one of the strictest and most important laws for the bank to allow no overdrafts. Never under any circumstances overdraw your account. LETTERS OF CREDIT — A letter of credit is a great convenience to travelers, as it establishes their credit for the amount named therein at any point where there is a banker. The signature of the payee is written on the face of the letter as a means of identification, and often a full description of the per- sonal appearance of the bearer is also given. LOANS — Banks are always ready to loan money on proper security, and usually give precedence to the application of a regular customer. The laws governing banking set forth what kind of security a bank can take, so that some banking institutions are compelled to decline what others would readily accept. IDENTIFICATION — In order to protect against the dishonest practice of unknown persons, banks are compelled to require that all strangers shall be introduced by some responsible acquaintance of the bank, who can vouch for the character and integrity of the other. FORGERY — The bank is supposed to know the handwriting of its customers, and if it pays a check upon a forged signature it is liable for the amount. This rule simply applies to the signature, for the face of the paper may be in different hand writing and is not a matter of suspicion. A fraudulent alteration in the body of a check after it is once signed constitutes a forgery as much as the simulation of the signature itself, and the check becomes useless even in the hands of an innocent holder. If payment is made by the bank the bank must stand the loss, unless it can be shown that the negligence of the drawer laid the foundation of the fraud.

FOREWORD. In presenting "The Classified Directory of Negro Business Interests and Professions of Essex County," we are putting in the hands of the people, a literature which we believe to be prophetic of a concerted effort on the part of the American Negro to develop commercially, for taking into consideration the numerous advantages this line of endeavor offers for civic and political emancipation, the progressive Negro is going to devote a greater part of his energy than heretofore expended in the establishment of enterprises and pro- fessions which will give employment to their young men and women, and along lines of work, wherein their education will fit and their experience qualify them for such positions at present refusing them employment. To say the opportunity offered the Negro in the business world is limited is to interpret him in the present, but his opportunity is not limited when we consider him in the future. It is the purpose of this bureau to encourage the every effort of business education, foresight and acumen among Negro citizens, and it is our hope that the matter contained in this directory shall commend itself favorably to this community and general public, by reason of its reliability, to the negro business man by reason of its supplying a need, and to the negro youth, as a help and in- centive to be the better and to do the best.

There is no national holiday, not even the Fourth of July. Congress has at various times appointed special holidays. In the second session of the Fifty-third Congress it passed an act making Labor Day a public holiday in the District of Columbia, and it has recognized the existence of cer- tain days as holidays for commercial purposes, but with the exception named there is no general statute on the subject. The proclamation of the President designating a day of thanksgiving only makes it a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. Each state provides for its own holidays. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. New Year's Day — January ist. Lincoln's Birthday — February 12th. Washington's Birthday — February 22nd. Decoration or Memorial Day — May 30th. Independence Day — July 4th.

Ashby, Supervisor, l^egro Economics for New Jersey, U. S. Department of Labor. The entrance of the colored girl in industry in Newark as well as other northern cities, is a new thing. The causes which brought about this social change have been so often repeated that we tire listening to them now. By comparison, and to relate with any certainty our progress, we must compare the industrial opportunity of the colored girl in Nev/ark. It is now many many times better than ever before, although it is not all that we hope it to be. When the war broke out there were but two industries in this city employ- ing Negro girls — laundries and tobacco factories. Now they have been taken into all sorts of shops — toys, leather, trunks, celluloid, canning, packing, record making, knitting, garment making, etc. One naturally asks if they have made good. It appears to me that we can positively state that they have. That the colored girl is undependable, shiftless and without ambition is a criticism often made, and may have some truth in it; but on the other hand, one does not have to talk long with an employer before he tells you that such and such a girl is one of the best girls he has had in all his business experience. This adverse criticism should not act as a deterrent to the girl of our race who wants to work in the shop. It should, on the contrary, stimulate her to work, so efficiently as to make the imputation false. Although the war has ceased, the colored girl is still sought as a factory employee. This fact seems to me the best evidence of her value as a worker, and the possible permanency of her industrial place. It is to be regretted that the Negro girl has to accept in many instances much lower wages, and far v/orse working conditions, tb.an any other national- ity, yet her production must be as great. This is merely transitory. Various European groups, when they had their first industrial experience here, met the same unfair treatment, and vv'hile it is not to be condoned in the slightest de- gree, there is a great deal of encouragement to be gotten from the knowledge tnat this 16 a passing, and not a static condidon. LOST PAPER — If a dieck is lost, payment should be stopped as soon as possible by notifying the bank in writing of the fact, especially should this be done if the check is payable to the bearer, as any one possessing it can present it for payment, and the bank cannot be held liable to the rightful owner unless it has been officially notified not to pay the check. Since Jewish and Italian labor is leaving rather than coming to this country, this opens up to the colored girl, especially in this vicinity, a broad field, for her employment in the needle trades. It is well that she think ser- iously about this opportunity, and prepare herself to meet it. We have an abiding faith in our ability to do, but that faith must abide. It cannot falter. Colored girls must learn and practice the industrial virtues of thrift, precision and tidiness. She must learn to be "On the Job" and "On Time." Above all, she m.ust be interested in her work, and an enthusiastic worker. Courage, hard work, self mastery and intelligent effort are all essentials to a successful life. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. WHY SHE SUCCEEDED. She was cheerful. She was loyal. She did not watch the clock. ' [ She was always on time. She ate three square meals each day. She was willing and prepared. She had confidence in herself. She never asked personal questions. She listened to criticism with an open mind. She considered "I forgot" a poor excuse. She was ready for the next step. THE STRENUOUS LIFE. I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and eflort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.
