A delightful surprise birthday party was given to John Pierpont Morgan, Saturday evening, Feb. 18th, at his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Morgan's residence. John received a number of very pretty and serviceable gifts which included a one-quarter pound gold-medal from his father, internationally known in- NEW YORK CITY CONFERENCE HUMAN SAFE DEVICE THE NAT SAFETY DEVICE CO. AWARDED FIRST-AND-PRIZE GOLDEN MEDAL AT THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION OF SAFETY AND SANITATION NEW YORK-CITY 1914 COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL TO GARRETT A. MURDAN INVENTOR OF WEDDING AND SAFETY UNION A LIFE SAVING DEVICE ventor. Mr. Morgan invented one of the first gas-masks used in the World War and was presented this medal in 1914 by the American Museum of Safety as the first grand international prize for having invented the simplest and best life-saving device shown at the Exposition of Safety and Sanitation. The device was known as Morgan's National Safety Hood. Mr. Morgan in presenting the medal requested that the token main in the fainting room be handed down from generation to another generation to the event of the 21st birthday of each generation of the male sex. John was complimented on his good morals and conduct, and his attention called to the fact that thus far he had traveled a cheerful and smooth road that was made so for him by his parents, and that he would never travel it again. Also, he was told to prepare himself to step into his father's place and be ready to shoulder his burden at any time. After presentation of medal, the young man made a short speech, thanking his parents. The party then went to the office and story of the G. A. Morgan Hair Rfg. Co, which was beautifully decorated with American flags and flowers. The young people danced and were served refreshments until an early hour. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

E. church of flicated. The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING There is a rumor going the rounds of the third District that Councilman Bundy has about convinced Arthur Johnston, former mayor of Miles Heights village, that he would be the proper campaign manager for Candidate C. H. Clark in his vain attempt to defeat Herman Finkle in the 12th Ward, this coming fall. If there is any truth in this rumor, let The Rounder know. The Plain Dealer (Dem.) of Sunday says editorially of the Miller (miss) administration: "No private enterprise would think of operating on so happy-go-lucky a system. Payless pay-days and accumulations of unpaid bills are likely to swamp the city's financial ship before 1933 is over." This is another sample of Miller efficiency (?) at the city (steal) plant—the City Hall. In last Saturday's Cleveland Press, we find the following: "In the new state office building (at Columbus, O., filled with Democratic officials) there are— Waste baskets that cost $20 each Guidepost that cost $55 each Ispouses that test that cost: $16,20 each. Wholesale tresses cost $16,20 each. Children have no shoes or coal, and will go to sleep tonight bungry under a Democratic party's idea of economy. Is it any wonder why poor men hate the rich and the politicians? Isn't this almost a justification for Communism? Dr. Jas. A. Owen shot two hold-up men in his office, last week Thursday evening, one of whom dropped at the bottom of the stairs leading to the doctor's office and was taken to Huron Rd. hospital. The other, also wounded, got away. Apparently Dr. Owen, a World War veteran, did a mighty good job of it. He is chairman of the board of trustees of the Combined Normal and industrial Department of Wilberforce University and not chairman of the trustee board of the university. That position is held by Bishop R. C. Ransom who succeeded Bishop Joshua H Jones (deceased). "Little Jimmie" was sure "goin' some." He is assistant Democratic leader in Ward 18. The Miller administration by its series of colossal blunders and failures has placed Burr, Bernon and Bernice in the most desperate of straits. They are quaking in their "boots" from the handwriting they see on two walls—the defeat of their candidate by the Republicans, this fall, and the overthrow of their organization by Sweeney. Driven to desperation they saw, as their last chance, the exploiting of hungry human beings. Should they get their 'phony work relief plan approved, they would have one day's pay for the $8,700 the company received in August (38,700 x 24%) which would not them $96,750 with which to fight Sweeney; and then another day's pay, $96,750, in October, to finance their campaign against the G. O. P. This was their plan, pure and simple. So wake up, Republican councilmen, and block this scheme. When Maurice Maschke was asked in his interviews over WHK, Saturday night, if he was willing to concede that Mayor Miller had performed a valuable public service by reducing expenditures, he said "Miller spent less because he had less to spend." Mr. Maschke should have shown that Miller has given the city less service per dollar spent than any chief executive the city has ever had. In fact, the only service rendered is to the Democratic politicians. One of the reasons the economy would have been the illegal appointment of an inexperienced friend from Defiance, at $6,000 per year to succeed a man of 42 years' faithful and efficient service who was only receiving $4200 a year. Miller has performed a wonderful hi-jacking service with the taxpayers' hard-earned dollars. Indianapolis, Ind. — "Gorilla" Jones of Akron, recognized by the National Boxing Association as the American middleweight champion, won a ten-round decision, Tuesday night, from Rosy (Kid) Baker (Lee) of Anderson, Ill.

INTELLIGENT CITIZENS TOO OFTEN LACK THE COURAGE TO BOLDLY DENOUNCE THEM Silently as the deep tides of the ocean, certain forces among us are ever moving to bind us more tightly in the meshes of segregation. Publicly they seemingly oppose, privately they endorse. Many of their following are ignorant, sincere, therefore doubly dangerous. "Interracial!" Ragland must earn his salary. He is most capable, smooth, oily, wily. . . Recently he gave to the public, letters endorsing Frank Hall, the policemen's councilman, and at the same time condemning the deplorable segregation in this city! How could he endorse the one, condemn the other, since both stand for the same ideology? The minister, we are informed, that he spoke softly, sweetly, sadly concerning the vast spread of segregation—how it was engulfing New York and other cities. He had statistics, some facts, many figures. It seems that he considered everywhere that Negroes lived together, absolute evidence of segregation. Unfortunately, the ignorance of many people prevents their knowing the silliness of his argument. It is said, that he spoke of the vast increase in segregation here and asked what could be meant to it, is said, that he said: "Nothing! All he has to sit still and wait 'til it comes'" "Interracial" Ragland is getting, or was getting, $3,300 a year to spread that poison, and he is working on his job daily and nightly. Ever backing him are some of those who have "stolen the livery of heaven to serve the devil in." A preacher who betrays his race is far lower than the Judas who betrayed his Christ. The saddest part of the situation here is that numbers of our citizens by intelligence lack the courage to boldly denounce those to arra seeking to enslave them. They lack the courage to inform their high employers that they will not stand for them; they lack the courage to tell those corrupt preachers who endorse them and their nefarious, insidious doctrines, that they must vacate the pulpits they disgrace. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." We need, in addition to the vigilance, eternal courage, if we would drive these common "jim-crow" Negroes back to the dens where such crawling, venomous serpents belong. As long as we tolerate them, how can we blame our white brethren for looking upon us with amusement or contempt?—Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney in the Cincinnati (O.) Union. "KINGFISH" RACE LEADERS! Like a milestone around the neck of the colored race in America today is that type of Negro leader who would prefer to be a "kingfish" in a Negro organization than a respected human being in an interracial group. There are the innumerable little unstandard Negro hospitals, store-front churches, orphanages, schools, day nurseries, organizations and community projects that because that prejudice which rates the Negro as a sort of monkey in clothes. Many little minded Negro leaders, by being placed in charge of such projects, which are run on a basis repulsive to real Negro intelligence, would raise a great fuss if such undertakings were to become interracial purely because of the selfish reason that there would then be danger that they would gore themselves off the prejudices against their race which create their jobs, and would no longer be able to strut as little "kingfishes" over their crushed people. In the cases of interracial projects, the mutual interracial good will enhance usually results in a possible elevation of standards and methods which soon swallow up the mediocrity with a prestige and identity like a drop of water in the interracial ocean. So the "Kingfish" shouts loudly for racial solidarity. Such Negro leaders are wholly lacking in a pride of race. They are really exploiters of their people; yet they will disguise their zeal for separate institutions and organizations as interest and ambition for Negro achievement and progress—which achievement and progress they well know is impossible so simple, sanction the basic plank in America's false and peanor philosophy of race and peanorism is that the Negro is essentially different and which tolerates only separate treatment and ostracism from the cradle to the grave THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediate publication in the NEWEST AND IBEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Negro achievement is much to be desired, but it is only by self-respect and the lessoning of prejudice through interracial co-operation and good will that it can be accomplished. It was interracial action that freed Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney. the slaves and every mile-stone of Negro progress since the Civil War has been blazed along the highway of interracial co-operation. Each rung in the ladder of Negro achievement has been some phase of interracial action. The really capable and high principled Negro leader welcomes white collaboration on an interracial basis because he knows he can measure up to usual white standards of competence.—Interracial Review. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Our K. P. annual Thanksgiving will be observed, Sunday, March 26. Earle B. Dickerson of Chicago has been appointed an assistant attorney general of Illinois, succeeding Atty. N. K. McGill of The Defender. Anne Wilde, 19 year old nurse-maid in a wealthy Kansas City, Mo., family, prevented the kidnapping, Monday, of her employers' youngest child. The new trial of the Scottsboro, Ala., boy-victims has been set for March 6 in Scottsboro, Ala., before the judge who presided over the original hearing which resulted in death-penalties for eight of them. The Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, U. S. internal revenue collector for the third district, N. Y. City was appointed by President Warren Harding, April 1, 1923. J. C. Thomas (Dem.), of N. Y. City, a member of the race, is expected to succeed Anderson. Congress, last week Wednesday, passed the Interior Department's appropriation bill which includes the sum of $460,000 for Howard University, Washington, D. C., and provided $197,000 for the three Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, St. Johns and St. Croix. Leading white women of Louisiana met at Baton Rouge, recently, and began a new drive against mob violence by the organization of the Council of the Association of Southern Women, an organization of Lynching, an organization promoted by the interracial commission of Atlanta. OPTIMISM AT ITS HIGHEST Recently when President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt was in Montgomery, Ala., a group of our citizens presented him with a gold pencil and the following inscription on a scroll: "Believing that in the new deal the forgotten man will be the remembered man, and believing in your integrity and faith in all men we the Negro citizens of Montgomery, present to your excellency this gold pencil as a tangible expression of our faith." And yet they say that we, as a race, are not optimists! If this isn't a case of the purest, unadulterated optimism, we should like to see one! — Chicago Defender.

At least two theaters in the third district, catering particularly to our people, have in recent weeks permitted several very "rotten" scenes or acts to be given. If this is repeated, The Gazette intends calling upon the city authorities to either close the places or compel them to eliminate the disgustingly immoral scenes or acts.

You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but, when I find a man, and see you, who consistently and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class.

S. naval lieutenant, were dismissed, last week, at the request of the prosecution with an admission that investigation had failed to disclose substantiation of Mrs. Massie's identification of the defendants as members of the fifth defendant, Joseph Kahawaai, who was kidnapped and lynchmurdered. Now it comes to light that there was more to the case than ever came out in court. Mrs. Massie it appears in the report of the Pinkerton Detective agency, had been to some sort of night club near Honolulu and had engaged in a drinking spree.

C.)—WNU Service VERMONT, to which the nation turned recently as the last resting place of Calvin Coolidge ing plate of Calvin Cobbidge has a story different from that of most of its sister states. Its story is more than a recital of statistics; it is more than a review of the number of organs and scales manufactured there annually and far more interesting than an estimate of the number of miles of public buildings which could be faced each year with its marble and granite, and roofed with its slate. It has elements of a drama. It has faced not seven, but seventy, lean years. In the seventy years from 1850 to 1920 the census returns show that the population increased only from 314,120 to 352,428 or 38,308—a little more than 12 per cent. During this same period the increase for the United States as a whole was more than 350 per cent. In the ten years from 1910 to 1920 the number of Vermonters actually decreased. Yet the future seems bright enough to the men and women of the Green mountains. The outsider may, perhaps, be forgiven if he hopes that its prosperity shall be no more than modest, and that it shall not interfere greatly with Vermont's present status. For it is today one of the most truly American of our states. Its people have hardly changed in their essential elements in a century. Barely one in nine is foreignborn, and the majority of these are Canadian and therefore American. Vermont's drama is rooted in that fact. Its people are a dynamic lot—hard-hitting, resourceful, energetic, restless. In the census of 1790 it was shown that of the total population of 85,425, approximately 81,200 were of English stock and 2,600 Scotch. Its Young Men Left. The oncoming years brought few different factors. The names one finds today in Vermont were on the earliest records. There was little, to be candid about it, in Vermont to tempt immigration in the last fifty years of the past century. There was everything outside to tempt emigration. The young men left, just as young Scottsmen go to London. Iowa's rich prairies called the farmer who had stumbled over Vermont's rocky hills. Once famed for merino sheep—it became the inheritor of the Spanish Crown when the royal flocks were dissolved under the threat of Napoleon's invasion—it saw them disappear under the pressure of necessity. Sheep held on costly land and fed seven months in the year cannot compete with those grazed on free land the year round. The estates located in rich bottom lands were held, of course, but in the pioneer days farmers built cabins on hill shoulders for the sake of the early-morning reassurance of a neighbor's plume of smoke across the valley. Many of these hill farms became economically impossible. Today the dairy cow is taking the place sheep once held in Vermont's scheme of things. The cow must be fed all winter long but she abundantly repays. Milk trains squeak through the winter snows to gather cans at every crossroad. Milk trains roar through the early dawn, bound for the great eastern cities. This achievement has only lately been made possible by the creation of new transportation facilities. Her enormous marble industry—one shrinks from comparative statements, but Vermont is very certain there can be no greater marble quarries in the world—had not been thought of. The dignified statehouse at Montpeller, the capital, was built of granite from the famous quarries which have made Vermont the leader among the states in the value of this stone supplied for monumental and structural purposes. Rich in Marble and Granite. So, if one sees nothing else in Vermont today, he should see the marble quarries and the granite works, where armies of skilled men, equipped with the latest engineering appliances, wrest huge blocks of stone from the state's rich mountain sides. Many families were literally starved out of the village of Lowell in northern Vermont in the early days. Wagon trains left for Kentucky and the Western Reserve. No one then knew of the vast beds of asbestos in that part of the state. So with tale and slate and the other mineral riches which are now being slowly developed. Nor did anyone suspect that her rounded hips and lovely dales would some time offer a promotion vacation ground—at a profit—to the thousands in the great cities within a few hours' ride. Today Vermont is a cheerful, sunny, independent little state, in which life admittedly presents more difficulties than in the lands wherein one may live on breadfruit. But it is more worth while. It is distinctly not given to hero worship, and it has a pawky humor that might trace to its Caledonian pioneers. A calm, clear-visioned commonwealth it is, too, with a distaste for rebellion against constituted authority, but with a fine capacity for it on occasion; willing that each shall worship God in his own way; intent upon getting the dollar's worth, but not falsely valuing the dollar; hospitable as are few states in these days of the easy road. Every Town Has Its Peak. Not a single town in Vermont is without its eminence. There are approximately 900 peaks whose summits are 2,000 feet or more above sea level, the northeast corner, an area perhaps 50 miles by 50, is in effect a wilderness. Bears roam there and deer, and landlocked salmon are to be caught in lakes rarely seen by man. Elsewhere the mountains seem more hospitable. The tallest, Mount Mansfield, 4,393 feet high, can be reached by automobile over good though steep roads and all are accessible to hillers. This is a state of lakes, too; for there are approximately 400—from Lake Champlain, 118 miles long, between the Green mountains and the Adirondacks, to mere potholes gleaming in hill fastnesses; and of little rapid rivers, which slow down here and there into placid reaches where the hungry trout leap at dawn. As one rides through the state, the remains of old water mills are to be seen — moss-grown, picturesque, a warped wheel clattering in a ruined race. Now they are an invitation to the artist. With them are weathered gray houses clustered about by forgotten orchards and dim roads that seem to lead nowhere through tangled woods. One of these days, one fears, there will be humming turbines where the little old mills are now falling into decay. Factories will replace the sagging rooftrees of the old houses. Whether we like it or not, this is an age of progress, and these hillside rills and spring-fed mountain lakes will ultimately be harnessed. For thirteen years Vermont was an independent republic, making its own laws, maintaining its own army, coling its own money. It was a contamucious and stiff-necked community, for during this period it was not only in rebellion against England, but was carrying on a lively private fight of its own with the state of New York and the Continental congress. A historian records that "Vermont was never anything but free. Never a crown ccolon, never yielding allegiance to any province, state, or kingdom." When she was admitted as the fourteenth state to the American Union, after the Revolution had been won by her loyal aid, it was upon her own terms. Champlain's Voyage. Her written history begins on July 4, some say July 14, 1600, on which debatable date Samuel de Champlain discovered the lake which bears his name and which is our largest body of fresh water outside the Great Lakes. On that voyage the De Champlain fought with his Algonquin hosts against the Iroquois, and so assured the friendship of the latter powerful tribe to the British, who were to come later. It has been argued that this may have decided the future overlording of this continent. Who knows? The first French settlements on isle La Motte were not permanent. White men did not come to stay until 1724, when settlers who had seeped in from the Massachusetts Bay colony built a blockhouse at Fort Dummer, near the site of the present city of Brattleboro. Here Timothy Dwight was born in 1726. Three of his descendants through his marriage with Mary, daughter of Rev. Jonathan Edwards, were to become presidents of Yale. This is worth noting, because Vermont talks more of her men than of her marble or slate or granite. "More than once," is the cautious statement, "Vermont has furnished a greater number of men to Who's Who, relative to population, than any other state." If one begins to name the distinguished sons of the state, one fears to be overwhelmed; yet it must be remembered that for decades they were almost the only exportable product, and have left their traces everywhere through American history. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1933 SAILORS WITH FLAT CROWNS FOR SPRING Return of Vogue for Brims Seen in New Hats. Trim flat-crowned sailors stamped with the mark of chic are being exhibited in the smartest modiestes salons in Paris as the first word in 1933 spring headgear. Lines of the new hats, which predict a return of the vogue for brims, are sleek and unmarred by extraneous quirks. Brims are fairly narrow, although wider ones are promised for later wear, and crowns are as flat as they can be to accommodate the new close collures now in vogue. Trims generally appear in front or back rather than on the side. They are simple and gay, with colorful fantasies of straw, strings, transparent tisue, suede, nice and galalith more often used than flowers. Colors include brisk, bright greens as leaf and apple, beige, honey yellow bright reds, dark blues and blacks while the straws may be either rough and rustic, or fine and smooth. A new straw called "yelda" made in a variety of rough weaves is an outstanding material, while Bengals and linen straws are also seen. COLORFUL FABRICS At this time of the year, the piecegoods department for children blossoms forth into a glorious fabric garden—never more colorful or appalling than it promises to be this year. There are rough, crinkly silks, cantons, celanese taffetas, and georgettes for party frocks. The crisp cottonts, organides, dotted swiss; the fabrics with a soft finish, volles, dimities, batistes and lawns; sturdier tweeds, ginghams (checks, plaids) broadcloths with silky surfaces and pliques—all take on a fresh spring-like book, writes Carolyn T. Radnor-Lewis in Child Life Magazine. While the geometric plaids and classic designs are very good this season, the florals and wide-spaced motifs, as pictured to the left, are by no means to be overlooked. The dark colors—wine, blue, red, green—on a white background are equally good when reversed. STYLE NOTES Theater or restaurant hats are definitely in. Prints with gray backgrounds are new for spring. Fancy turns to turquoise blue for millinery, blouses and accessory touches. Chiffon frocks are enriched with velvet bows and other trimming items. New collections include many types of lace gowns. Bref kurz jackets register on the spring program. Crowns which reflect fedora influence are coming in. Middy Skirt Is Easy to Make and Is Practical A mildy skirt doubles the possibilities of a girl's wardrobe because with it may be worn a pullover sweater, a white mildy blouse, or a blouse of contrasting or matching material. And it is the easiest of all skirts to make, no pattern being required. Both camisole top and the skirt portion are straight pieces of goods, the camisole of lining material or muslin, provided with shoulder straps and coming down well over the hips. A white washable top is most practical, and the skirt is on a band that snaps or buttons to it so both can be washed separately. Two-Way Costume Is One of New Style Fashion One of the important features of the new dress collections is the importance attached to costumes whose appearance can be altered. These changes are achieved in jacket costumes, for example—the jacket lined with a print, and designed to be worn on either side; jackets that, when unfastened, reveal a complete frock with suspender bodice over a blouse; also costumes that introduce capes that are detachable, and that give the impresson of a high neckline until removed. The tunic silhouette is a recurrent one, often in various guises. WOOLENS STRESSED IN SPRING FABRICS Old Friends in New Guises in Early Showings. Old friends in new guises are seen in the materials for early spring wear. Some of the more important are as follows: A fine wool crepe matelasuse, this showy fabric being the most widely discussed of the season; next, a rather decidedly checked wool, which manages to achieve a striped effect along with its checks. This is shown in string belge and navy blue. Hairy woolens are stressed, with either rabbit's or muskrat's hair woven in. Monotone tweeds are especially favored in this idea for early spring. Natural cashmere and kashs are being promoted, satin jersey and cashmere proving a popular combination with some designers. Canvas weaves are being particularly emphasized this year, and so are Jacquards, some designs showing a broken jacquard on a canvas coating. Heather mixtures are good, especially a georgette-tweed dress woolen in oxford grey. THE NEW HATS BY CHERIE NICHOLAS M Well, we are coming to brims, which is about the most important message of all. Even the new berets have little visor-like additions which tilt jaustantly over the brow. Veils are tiny and sprightly and most every little hat has one. The sketches herewith portray three typical millinery trends. The wee sailor is such as will predominate in the early spring picture. To the right we see one of the berets with a visor effect which classes this model with the new brimmed versions. Its tiny veil flares saucily in latest approved manner. The last hat is one of those utterly feminine affairs which gets its inspiration from the Wattean effects which it, is said, will be immensely popular this season. FLASHES FROM PARIS Shades of gray in combination Is a chic color scheme. Lovely party frocks are of metal-embroidered organle. Gloves of the same fabric as the hat is fashion's latest whip. Brim facings with gloves and scarfs to match is fashion's latest gesture. Tiny sailors will be very much in evidence with the spring suit. Lacquered braid is used for belts and dress trimming. Matelasse and cloque silks, also lacquered satins, are favored for evening gowns. Rounded-Toe Footwear Is Coming Back This Spring Rounded-toe footwear will regain a place in milady's wardrobe this spring, after a few years of retirement, in the opinion of W. G. Hunt, noted shoe stylist. Although admitting the prevailing narrow-toe patterns will retain their eninence in the fashion spectrum, he predicted a genuine popularity for the new blunt numbers, destined to greet spring buyers soon. These trim-looking shoes, styles principally in grain pig leather, will be particularly good in T-strap sandals and ties designed for sports wear. Black Broadcloth Coat Trimmed With Greige Fox Gorgeousness always attracts envi- ous eyes and it is only natural that since Molyneux has designed a sumptuous black broadcloth coat trimmed with pale greige fox, and further complicated by a fox muff with broadcloth tips at each side, that we should see it and have to make both mental and pencil note of it. If you prefer velvet the English captain will make the same suit in that fabric, and if you want to really "knock 'em dead" he suggests you have it trimmed in all white fox! Straw Fabric The catchword in spring millinery is fabric—straw or straw fabric which is really self-explanatory. This material is just shiny enough to be spring-like and it drapes easily into all the new turbans and visor-like hats. OUTHWAITE The Only School of the Kind in the City That Denies Opportunity to Our Boys—Attention, N. A. A. C. P.! It is time that the thinking people in this city became aware of the situation which exists at Outwhale School. When this school first became a center for average boys, it was planned to serve those boys who were three years or more over age for their grade. It was that tots that these boys would be happier if placed in groups together where the fundamental subjects could be stressed. It was intended that these boys be given the same opportunity that the children or other taxpayers receive. After completing the eighth grade at Outwhale these boys went to East Technical High school where some succeeded and some failed, as is true with all classes. When Outwasha was transferred to the department of special schools, however, opportunities open to children of other taxpayers were no longer open to these boys. A small number are sent to surrounding junior high schools when the sixth grade is completed. The fate of the others is a tragedy. They mark time in Outwasha for several years and then are given a card which states that they have completed the work offered there but are eligible for no other school. The door of further education is closed to these boys simply because they are fortunate enough to reside in the Outwasha district. Perhaps the boy's parents do not wish his education to cease. It does not matter; he can go no farther. Why should such a school exist only in that district? Overage, or as they are now called ungraded Z groups, are not peculiar to the section in which Outhwate is located, but of the type in other sections of the city, but nowhere else are they discriminated against as in the Outhwate-Longwood district. In other sections where the group is large enough, they work together until they complete the sixth grade. Then these pupils are sent to junior education, where fewer educational opportunities they can make use of are open to them. In February, 36 boys and girls in an ungraded Z group were sent to a west side junior high. Their P. L. R. S. (Probable Learning Rate) information will be 65 percent higher than that range is lower at Outhwate than in similar groups all over the city. The Board of Education maintains special centers to which the mentally defective are sent. Thomas Edison is maintained at great expense to care for problem boys. If Outhwaite is involved for other of these purposes, it is grossly unfair to normal boys who attend it and should be investigated. It is not designated, equipped or run as a school for mental defectives or delinquents. The argument has been advanced that when these boys were permitted to attend East Technical they dropped without completing the course. Pupils in the schools ledged to complete four years' work. Groups are not refused admission because they might do so. Some boys who have finished the regular elementary school are sent to Outhwaite instead of to junior high. No junior or senior high school is authorized in the city has the right to reach pupils from any elementary school. Who has the right to say that because a child lives in a certain section of the city, he must leave school with a card that says he can go no farther. As long as similar groups in other sections of the city receive all educational advantages why should these boys be denied them? VERY VICIOUS BILL Introduced in the Ohio General Assembly to Lower the Curriculum of the State Department at Wilberforce.—Everybody "Get Busy!"! House of Representatives Columbus, O., Feb. 13, '33. Hon. Harry C. Smith Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: — Herewith find enclosed a copy of a very vicious bill which has been introduced by Mr. Kasch of Akron, and which is self-explanatory. I trust you will do everything in your power to help me kill this bill. 90th GENERAL ASSEMBLY Subscribe Now OR MAKE ONE? ASKS PROFESSOR CARTER G. WOODSON OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL. Washington, D. C.—An opiate furnishes temporary relief, but it does not cure the complaint causing the pain. So is it with segregation. We yield on principle to satisfy the mob but reach no ultimate solution of the problem at hand. In our so-called democracy we are accustomed to torture what they want rather than educate them to understand what is best for them. What we do today may have to be undone tomorrow because we have learned to follow the behest of the mob just as we are about to in legalizing liquor again. Segregation is an effort to secure racial supremacy, but the system has blocked progress by settling upon the authorities at a higher cost in the double cost of labor, travel, recreation, education, and government. Laboring men will refuse to work with Negroes not every time solely because of race prejudice. There are only so many highly paid positions available; and if these are secured to whites by the subterfuge that the "races will not work together," the Negroes are kept down on a lower level. Such Negroes must have a lower standard of living. They will not consume all of the necessities and will have few, if any, of the luxuries of life. In this way the white laborer diminishes the number of consumers who, if accepted in the higher pursuits, would increase the demand for what is produced in that sphere. The segregating white laboring man, therefore, is cutting off his own income and depriving himself of some income, and somebody else. In this way the English bled themselves in trying to bleed the Irish. The politician who makes his party a social organization from which Negroes must be excluded to keep the white man socially supreme carries his point, and for a while everything seems to go well, but the very secession thereby eliminates itself from politics by voting solidly with one party to make segregation supreme. This segregating section will never have any influence in politics as such, for men of vision cannot count on such people for advanced ideas. The world to go away from segregation into aggregation relegation means isolation, untimely decay, and inevitable death. The rate resident in an exclusive district snorts like a horse if a Negro moves into the neighborhood, and with the cooperation of others similarly moved these undesired residents are kept out by "law" or intimidation. In slums to which the Negroes are confined, however, a large number of citizens are dragged downward by conditions which they cannot control. From this source will come poverty, disease, and delinquency. These will afflict those in the exclusive districts through social and economic antipathy, which in spite of here again the Negro is forced downward, and as Booker T. Washington well said, the white man to keep him down must stay in the ditch with him. A parent becomes enraged because his child must occupy a seat next to a pupil of color, and protests. The schools, then, must be made separate; but the district is too poor to maintain one good system, and both have been neglected. The race-conscious demand set the tone for the hands of race-hating teachers in one school and job-seeking ones in the other must be neglected. The poorest commonwealths are struggling today with the millstone of a dual education system sinking into a sea of disappointments and trouble, and then compete with the richest states which do not carry such a burden? Negro children are forced off the playground, although the kiddies of all races gladly play together unless restrained by the agents of race hate. The city, being unable to provide for both, thus forces the Negro children into the criminal atmosphere of the streets. The police court to a high tribunal taking cognizance of more serious charges; and the penitentiary gets a goodly number of citizens who might be otherwise productive—persons who instead of bringing disgrace upon the country might have reflected honor upon it, if they had been early directed in the right way. Segregation helps to increase the literacy and their crime is made the excuse for further segregation. The Negro is forced into the "jim-crow" car, and the bankrupt railroads must provide it even if as a result of the Ford the Negroes refrain from traveling in the filth compartment. The expenses of additional space and the employment of extra workers to supervise this segregation must be made, and the team which will probably have to be taken over by the federal government. Whether under such a national management this heavy cost of segregation will be maintained in making a problem while trying to solve another does not yet appear. The race conscious "Christian" may drive the Negro out of his church, but it is done at the terrible expense of sacrificing the foundation upon which real Christianity must be built. If the Christian church can dislodge of Negroes certainly men of state, they do not claim to be Christians, cannot be censured for "jim-crow" them or distranchising them. If Negroes, too, are such undesirables, what harm can there be in lynching them or exterminating them altogether? In thus trying to secure all the best things of life to a privileged class, society does not go forward. The effort is made, but it does not get any further than that of the dog when he eats his tail. Segregation being opposed to the principle of an equal chance for all must fail, for only by social justice can any country survive. Segregation is immediately hard on the Negro; but in the end the white man suffers equally as much, and both go down together. A VERY VICIOUS BILL! What seems to be the first move of the Ohio kiux klan to carry out its vicious program, directed against our people of Ohio, made at a state meeting of the miserable organization in Columbus, a trifle over a year ago, is bill No. 341, introduced in the House of Representatives, recently, by the Hon. Mr. Kasch of Akron. It will be found elsewhere in this paper. Our only member in the State Assembly is Representative Gilles Gilles, the state representative, recognizing the seriousness of the "very vicious" blow, directed at the state department at Wilberforce by the Kasch bill, Mr. Gilles is calling on all of our people, and their friends in the state of Ohio, to get in touch with their member or members of the lower branch of the State Assembly, explaining to them the miserable attack outlined in House Bill No. 341, and politely but firmly asking their assistance in our effort to kill the bill in the House committee, to which it has been referred, before it reaches the House, if possible. There is no earthly good excuse for the very good reason that the curriculum of the state department at Wilberforce complies with instructions given the institution by the State Education Department, like all other state educational institutions. Mr. Kasch's effort, or that of any other member of the State Assembly, to thus undertake to usurp authority invested in the State Education Department ought to be estopped, promptly, and the best place to do this is in the House committee to which the bill No. 341 has been referred. Whether the State Education Department ought to establish with his bill a precedent that the Ohio House of Representatives should not permit because of its future probable effect upon other state educational institutions. So get in touch with your member or members of the lower branch of the State Assembly just as soon as possible.
