MAY 16, 1925 EAST AFRICA'S ARABLE ACREAGE Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chairman of Phelps-Stokes Commission, Brings Back a Glowing Report on the Dark Continent—New Era in African Affairs—Helpful Points Cited, Etc. New York City.—"The idea of deadly diseases and barbaric peoples is fast fading out of the African situation" said Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman of the Phelps-Stokes tund educational commission of East Africa, upon his recent arrival from London on the Caramula. "The potentialities of East Africa alone almost surpass the power of human appreciation," Dr. Jones said. "East Africa's arable acreage, exclusive of South Africa, may in time almost equal that of the United States, being an area three and a half times the total surface of the United kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. East Africa, north of the Transvaal, contains 300,000 square miles of high plateau, free of tropical diseases and capable of producing the crops of the temperate zone. Its possibilities are strikingly illustrated by the fact that two years ago in the protectorate of Uganda about 100 bales of cotton were produced and last year probably less than 150 bales, whereas the estimate for this year approximates 200,000 bales." plotted and to be saved. There is enough truth in this statement to warrant the suggestion that sound government, sound economics and sound religion require a recognition of the principle that it is better to work with a people than merely for them. The progressive colonies are giving increasing emphasis to the contribution of the native people and their customs. Helpful Points Are Cited. "The future of one of the great primary races is at stake. In speaking of education we are thinking of all the helpful influences which may assist the people of Africa to realize their highest possibilities and achieve a full and worthy manhood and womanhood. Blind toleration of oppression is not a cure for anything. There is no hope in the dogmas or superiors based on unfounded traditions. There is no assurance in the claim of present equalities, however emphatically announced by the sympathetic or idealistic." Eight Months' Survey Is Made. Dr. Jones has just completed a report of the commission's eight months' survey of conditions in East Africa which was written in London. He was recently the guest of honor at an official dinner given by the British government in recognition of the co-operation of the United States in sending the commission to Africa to assist in formulating plans to meet the educational needs of the native people. The investigation was made at the instance of the British government and was actively supported by the British colonial office, the United States department of agriculture, the international education board (Rockefeller) and British and American missionary societies. Dr. Jones predicts that before many months the American system of rural education as taught by the United States farm demonstrators and by Jennes fund teachers will be in use in Africa. Representatives of the British colonial office are already in America visiting schools and studying our methods of education for the purpose of going out to Africa and improving the lot of the masses in the rural districts of the black continent. Is New Era in African Affairs. "The appointment of the British colonial office's advisory committee on native education in tropical Africa really begins a new era in African affairs".Dr. Jones pointed out. "This committee has already given a fresh significance to educational undertakings for the African people. Other colonial powers will undoubtedly follow Great Britain in this direction. "The commission found the better current that education as generally understood, is usually a decorative process unrelated to the life and needs of primitive people. A popular pastime of travelers to and from Africa is the exchange of jokes and ridicule concerning the 'mission boys' who are said to represent the futility and harm of educating natives away from their place' in the colonial scheme arranged by western civilization for the Africans. Careful inquiry into the origin of these antagonistic attitudes reveals a lamentable ignorance of an education related to the simple needs even of primitive people. Tell Needs of Education. "To avoid the appearance either of pedantry or scientific abstraction, these necessities of sound community life are called the 'simples' of education. They are, first, sanitation and health; second, agriculture and simple industry; third, the decencies and safeties of the home; and fourth, healthful recreation. Nowhere has the commission found a difference of opinion as to the importance of these four 'simples' as the objectives of educational endeavor. The great lessons of history, science, art and literature are, however, as essential to native African leadership as to the leadership of the people of another continent, and the educational system must provide for the training of both—the masses of the people and native leadership. "The ordinary impression is that the government is to rule. the set-ter and traders are safe and the main mission are to see and the most people are to be governed, to be ex- FRESH OHIO NEWS plotted and to be saved.

Reynolds of this city has refused the $3,500 position at Baltimore offered him, some weeks ago, to remain as principal of Booker T. Washington High school at Norfolk, Va. The position refused is the supervisorship of our Baltimore, Md., schools. Prof. Reynolds is a graduate of Wittenburg College, here, receiving the Ph. B degree in 1896. He took advanced work at Wilberforce in 1910 and was awarded the A. M. degree. During the summers of 1910-11-12, he pursued courses in supervising and teacher training at Columbia University. He held the position of supervising principal in Richmond, Ky., for eight years, from 1899 to 1907; supervising principal of our schools in Maysville, Ky., for five years, from 1907 to 1912; supervisor at Muskogee, Okla., six years, 1912 to 1918; supervisor of the Normal School at Maysville, S.

Dayton, O.—Suit was filed, last week Thursday afternoon, by Mr. Earl Reese, of 227 Norwood Aye., in the court of appeals against the board of education and Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of schools, asking that a writ of mandamus be issued the plaintiff, compelling them (defendants) to admit his child, and others of our children of that school district, to the brick building at Garfield school. The plaintiff says he is the father of two children and that at the Garfield school there is a large commodious brick building in which white children are taught exclusively by white teachers, while two frame buildings are used exclusively for our children, taught exclusively by "colored" teachers. He says, and truthfully, too, that they have separate facilities, entrances, and exits. Mr. Reese, some months ago, fitted a similar suit in common pleas court, but, despairing of ever getting a decision, after many weeks' patient waiting, at his request this suit was later dismissed in order that it might be filed and come before this term of the court of appeals. When the editor of The Gazette was last here he warned Mr. Reese of this very outcome and urged him and all of our people here to stand them and fight to the bitter end, and they would surely win. University, Atlanta, part of 1923 and 1924; principal of Booker T. Washington Junior and Senior High Schools, Norfolk, Va., from 1924 to date. DAYTON.—The Rev. O. W. Childs, pastor of Eaker St. A. M. E. church, was graduated from the Central Theological Seminary, the chief school of the Reformed church in the U. S. last week Thursday evening. The class contained fifteen ministers, thirteen white, one Japanese and one Afro-American. Dr. Childs specialized in religious education. This school is 75 years old this year, and he is its first Afro-American graduate. It is a high-class institution. Another one of our ministers is also a graduate—Rev J. T. Smith finished at Bonebrake Theological Seminary; another local institution of learning. Both gentlemen pastor large churches here and are highly esteemed by the community. Dr. Childers, a Gazette alumnus, too, has done wonderful work in Dayton.—In appointing its teachers for the ensuing year the local board of education failed to reappoint the Afro-American teachers in Garfield school annex. If it thinks it can put this over our people, the members of the board have another thought coming. The "jim-crow" arrangement at Garfield school will be fought to the bitter end and must go, "teachers of color or no." When it is done away with—with the "jim-crow" school annex—then we will take up the fight for our quota of teachers. There must be no division in our race ranks. Let the teachers line up with the loyal of the race and we will fight in one solid phalanx. Our only weapon is the ballot. Let every man and woman of the race in Dayton VOTE at the primary election, supporting the men who will give the race a square deal—wipe out that "jim-crow" annex to Garfield school. THE NEGLECTED TRUTH Roscoe Simmons has now been revealed to the public in his true colors. For years he has been hiding behind a maze of lies and a network of deceptions, and because of his gib tongue and deluded followers he has been allowed to thrive and prey on the American people—both black and white. But the day of reckoning has arrived—he has been caught red-handed for the second time robbing "his benefactor and stealing from those who trusted him. He was branded, last week, in no equivocal terms on the front sheet of the publication for which he writes, and the public is informed through the very medium through which he has given vent to his sycophantic and avaricious bleating that those who deal with him do so at their own peril.—Chicago Whip, May 2.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PRES. OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY WANTS A VICE-PRESIDENT APPOINTED SO HE CAN GET AWAY MORE To Work for His White School and Himself, Says Prof. Neval H. Thomas, President of the N. A. A. C. P. of the District of ColumbiaHoward Students' Strike—Durkee Tactless and Autocratic. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The alumni of Howard University are alarmed over the persistent and widespread rumor that President Durkee is to recommend to the trustee board, at its June meeting, the creation of the office of vice-president at a large salary, far larger than that of any of the veteran servants who have given to the school its high standing among the universities of the land. Large numbers of the alumni are loth to believe that the trustees will be led into any such extravagance, for they see that Dr. Durkee hasn't sufficient work here to keep him busy, having time to hold the presidency of the Curry School of Expression of the where no colored Student is admitted to head the difficult effort of raising an audience for this undemocratic institution. They cannot see why Howard shall be called upon to furnish another high salaried officer to do the work of Dr. Durkee so as to give him leisure to hold his other presidency far removed from our race, and to make frequent fees for substituting in the various white pulps of this city for all denominations. So the alumni objects to the creation of this wholly new office on the ground that there is no need for it. Second: It objects because it means the wastage of the university's meagre funds. With a large body of self-supporting students in need of aid, funds to help them in their heroic struggle upward in the world, and the professorial staff giving their valuable service at ridiculously low wage, it seems incredible that the trustee board will ignore the real needs of the university and divert its resources to the already disproportionate cost of the president's office. We go further and hold that if the trustees do decide to create this office, the appointee should not be one of the trustees. His work would be constantly hampered by the thought that he helped to create his own sincerce, and used his position of trust to further his own pecuniary interests. The gentleman whose name is reported to be settled upon has spent his entire life outside of educational circles, and is not even a college graduate. The alumni has no candidate, for it is distinctly opposed to such a novel suggestion; but if it must come, we want an educator and an administrator, one who has appraised higher education sufficiently high to have acquired it for himself, and one who has chosen education as his life's work. We hold that our university should not be used to give sneezures to aged men who have passed their period of usefulness in other fields. There are many men and women in all departments of the university who would dignify such an office and be able to render the university some service by virtue of their long experience in educational pursuits. Burleigh's Latest Testimonial. Temple Emanu-El, one of the most prominent Jewish congregations in New York City, has presented Harry T. Burleigh, a testimonial, inscribe on parchment and bound in gold-tiled morocco leather, acknowledging his 25 years of uninterrupted service as singer and composer in the choir of the Temple. Mr. Burleigh, who was similarly honored upon the completion of 30 years' service in the choir of George's E. church, was awarded the Spingarn Medal in 1917. Davies White Church $1,000.

We see the greatest of our alumni, Prof. Kelly Miller, whose scholastic achievements and lofty station in the world of education and letters, have done most to give Howard her fair fame throughout the nation. We see Dr. Sterling N. Brown, of the theological department, a scholar of Prof. Neval H. Thomas. fine diplomacy, who could do much to relieve the immensely strained relations between the president on one side and the alumni, faculty and student body on the other, so detrimental to the university; a gentleman whose wide contacts with philanthropy could be used to great profit. If a younger man is preferred, why not Prof. Charles Wesley, with his large influence over young people and his standing among educators and scholars? We could go on indefinitely naming the splendid material at the school, to whom such reward for faithful service should come. If the trustees, are determined to give the university this office which we hold SHOULD NOT BE CREATED! When the strike of the student body occurred, this week, the president was not here to confer with the students and offer them new terms, for he was off on one of his frequent trips to Boston at the white school, administering to its needs. His automatic rule that he laid down to them before he left made the student action inevitable. His army training-school, which gives Negroes training to fit them for privates; without drill in military leadership, artillery, or aviation; takes precedence over the sciences and classes, the higher and finer learning which is the soul of a university. It is the hope of all disinterested elements of the alumni that the trustees will not be misled by our taceless, autocratic president into giving us additional grievances which must in the nature of things make for the further injury of our alma mater.

SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1925. Editor Thomas Kennedy, of the Kansas City (Kan.) Advocate, a former resident of Ohio, has been appointed a deputy oil inspector by the Governor of that state. Congratulations, Bro. Kennedy! John Deyer and Laura Fugue (white) had to go to Spokane, Wash. to get married because of Montana's anti-intermarriage law. When they returned to Helena, two weeks ago, that state's attorney general ordered Helena's (county) prosecutor to prosecute them under the state's infamous anti-intermarriage law. Montana is a northern "cracker" state and the rotten law a disgrace to the so-called American civilization. The imperial wizard of the ku klux klan has moved its headquarters from Atlanta to Washington where they expect to exert greater influence upon all three of the coordinate branches of our government—the executive, legislative and judicial. Wonder how the President, the members of Congress and the U. S. Supreme Court feel about it? There are laws still on the U. S. statutes that President Coolidge can invoke to wipe out the vicious and un-American organization, if he will. At a meeting, Monday evening, of a number of our city employees it was decided to take the advice of The Gazette and send a delegation of friends, who are not in the city's employ, to see City Manager W. R. Hopkins and explain to him the unfair and insulting discrimination being practiced against them by a number of his prejudiced "chiefs" of divisions and heads of the smaller departments. This is the proper way to get relief and The Gazette feels sure that Mr. Hopkins will afford it. Let leading men be selected and sent by our city employees and they will surely get the action desired. Stop whining and ACT: THERE WAS NO DEMONSTRATION. Principal James E. Dillingham of Newton High School, Elmhurst, L. I., N. Y., his teachers and students in general, indigently deny that there were any disorders accompanying the election of Arthur Waller age 17, as president of the general organization of the school. Waller is one of the dozen Afro-American students of the institution which has several hundred white students. He is very popular and a leader in about all of the school's activities. Some southern sympathizing and prejudiced reporter, in Elmhurst no doubt, started the report, which was grabbed by the southern controlled Associated Press, and of course about all the daily papers in the country and many of ours were missed by it into re-publishing the contemptible "story". His kind will stoop to almost anything that will promote prejudice against our people. May the good Lord change as well as forgive them. LIBERTY AND LICENSE Speaking of some of our people who have come North in the last seven or eight years, the Chicago Bee very pertinently remarks: "A good many people who have suffered unjustly seem to be unable to distinguish between liberty and license. They don't seem to realize, that while they have the privilege of riding on street cars, busses and other conveyances, and of attending theatres and other public places, it is not customary to put the feet on the upholstery, to hog more than one person's share of the seat, to push or jog unnecessarily others near them or to pick quarrels with the conductor, the motorman, cashier or others in authority." Add to the foregoing, the "hootch"-laden, breathing out an odor that makes one slick to smell it; the loud-mouthed male and female and the dirty ones who will seat themselves next to cleanly attired persons, and it will not take one long to understand why prejudice has so increased and color-lines multiplied, many times, thrust this section of the country in the last few years. Then, too, the southern "cracker" is here in large numbers and always ready to "push along" anything that will hurt our people. There is much our pulpit and press can do to improve this sad condition of affairs, if they only would. For some unaccountable reason neither is paying the attention to it they should, and we are greatly pleased to note the fact that our esteemed Chicago contemporary, The Bee, has joined The Gazette in the effort the latter has been making for many months to awaken our pulpit, press and people generally to a full and proper realization of its importance. Speaking at the services of the John Brown Memorial Association, held in Town Hall, Lake Placid, N. Y., last week, in honor of the 125th anniversary of the birth of that marry, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the N. Y. Nation, (magazine), said, among other things: "The worst offenders against the Constitution today are not the handful of extremists who would move against it by extra legal measures, but the officials of our country from the President of the United States who are sworn to uphold the Constitution and regard it like so many other laws, as something to be enforced when they see fit, and when it suits their purpose. "The present President gives us one homily after another as to the perfection of our institutions and the wonderful happiness and prosperity. He cries, 'Peace, Peace,' and there is no peace. He does not defend the Constitution; he connives at its violation." Here you have it—in a "nutshell." The unfortunate part about it all is, Editor Villard is telling the TRUTH as every one knows full well. The President's talks and messages do not "square" with his acts or rather lack of acting by a good deal. Would that, there were more Villards in this country. PRIME SPORT NEWS Taylor Victor Again.

Terrell has been managing a club in our southern league and will bring to Cleveland two star pitchers, a catcher, an infielder and an outfielder.

Knowing What You Wear Best Is The Secret Of Smartness One of the strongest notes of the season is individuality. The smartly attired woman of today acquires her chic by stressing this point. She refuses to wear anything which is not built exclusively for her type and she has learned that distinction and smartness are far more to be valued than mere prettiness. The better shops realize this, and while they use the newer style trends, they carry them out along individual lines. Stately, statuesque blondes; girls slender and graceful as a young birch in Springtime; plump maidens and matrons of Castillian bent; white-haired grandmothers—if there be such persons, and jeune filles. Each finds the garments best suited to bring out her best points and suppress her poor ones, which, after all, is the secret of art in dressing. The Lace Frock Is The Thing First of all you must have a lace frock. For lace, Madame and Mademoiselle, is extremely the thing. An excellent choice is the two-tone frock of Chantilly, the top being natural in tone and the lower half black, with a most interesting use of applique, also in natural. And the scarf which accompanies it is chiffon; black with natural ends joined by a row of applique. It is very long; the black coming over the natural-colored upper portion and the natural over the black skirt. The words: "The scarf which accompanied it" might be written after every frock. For whatever the model from sports costume to the most formal of evening attire, there is inevitably a scarf hovering somewhere in the background. The longer it is, the smarter apparently. Perhaps it is doing its best to atone for the shortness of the skirts which may be anywhere from 1 to 16 inches from the floor. Rhinestones Everywhere Rhinestones Everywhere One of these scarfs is worn with a delightful frock of hydrangea pink and blue, posed over a slip of white satin to bring out the softness of the colorings. This slip deserves special honor. It is topped with duchess lace and bordered at the hem with the same, while here and there fat ribbon blossoms in green, orange, pink and blue, peep out most discreetly through the filmy chiffon. Because of the white slip the frock shows very pale at the top, shading down to deeper tones. The upper portion shows blue petals pointing upward, outlined Cincinnati, O.; New Castle and Sharon, Pa. The Browns Expose. The expose, in last week's Gazette, of the local baseball situation, caused a big sensation among our fans on the "avenoo", who have not understood the seeming secrecy and silence of the past two months and who apparently will not "warm up" to the Star-Glants. Up to three weeks ago, the Browns Co. believed they would be back at Hooper Field, trusting to the bona-fide word of the park owner and believing they were entitled to this fair consideration since the money last year, especially it is said, caused around $2,700 to be taken in by the owner, last year, as park rental. It is reported, they had raised over two-thirds of a small loan ($600) to repay the park owner but apparently he listened to advice of "wise-guys" and overlooked their proposition. The All-Stars or Giants were rained out of a game, last Sunday. Tell It, Brother, Tell It! know how to do it. There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. We cannot ignore our face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. with rhinestones, while the skirt is one delightful, swirling, trivolous petal after another.

Callot sends a distinctive street frock of gray crepe with its high collar accented with rust; a collar actually boned at the back! And the inevitable scarf hanging straight down the back. Double crepe roma is one of the fashionable ideas which is at the same time vastly practical. The crepe is so thin it allows every line of everything beneath to be plainly visible; often ugly lines of brasieries and garters. But by doubling it, you make it less transparent, without taking away from the soft clinging effect. A charming dance frock for Mademoiselle is of taffeta with 1830 puffings at the hem in two rows. A flat bow of silver ribbon is an interesting touch at the front of the snug-fitting basque. You will find this theme expressed in the flowered taffetas which are so beloved of youth. Rather high-waisted, snug-fitting bodices rather full skirts. Waists and Flares One's waist, it appears, must be high or very low. Many of the models suggest the Moyenage. And wherever possible one acquires a flare. Sometimes by means of a flaring ruffle; again by inserts of the material, or of lace. And this flare seldom appears above the knees. The coat which tops these frocks receives quite as much attention as the smartness it covers. A handsome coat is of heavy lustrous black satin with leopard fur on the cuffs and on the ends of the scarf which is a most important part of this coat. THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the consolentious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of men are averted, and the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. CHARACTER, Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-two years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotones decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

These are the things that are hurting most our people, in this community. "THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS" Before and after the dismal failure, several months ago, of the Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, there were several bank failures. Then came the big Brown and Stevens failure at Philadelphia, and now we have the Chicago Defender "mess". If the facts were made known, we feel sure that practically the same causes would be bound to be the bass or all the failures and near failures referred to, and they ought to be given* to the public. Before sailing for Europe, recently, Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, told why he and other friends (white) could not save the Standard Life Insurance Co., when appealed to. Its affairs were in such a miserable condition, very much worse than had been represented to them, he said, that they could do nothing to help the Standard. "Twas ever thus!" This year is not half gone and "the Negro in business" has already made a record in miserable failures that is anything but creditable to the individuals most concerned and our people in general; and all as a result of practically the same "weaknesses". As The Gazette sold, some weeks ago, it is high time our people in business, and those pretending to be in business, stop blowing, bragging, magnifying, etc., and get down to learning real business methods before starting big or even little business enterprises with other peoples' money. Indiscriminate selling of "stock" and talking "co-operation", "race-loyalty", etc., anything, to wheedle the hard-earned money from the pockets of our poor hard-working people, must stop! The persons who do this are almost always members of the race who have never been able to make a dollar in business for themselves. And yet they want offer members of the race to let them have their money "to make some for them" when they have never been able to do this for themselves. Lord, have mercy! In the last six or seven years, here in the North, there has been a veritable orgy of "stock-selling" talking in an effort to promote this "stock" selling game which as we have already ought to be stopped. W E Is the result of doing all things well at all times. That is the Wynne and Easley creed from which there is never a deviation.
