S.e "A Greater H University' Comprehensive Program Formulate by President J. Stanley Durkee for Development of Negro's Foremost Institution for Higher Education—Reforms "Evolutionary and Revolutionary" for School for Race Leaders. Many Radical Improvements Planned in Scholastic Courses and in Buildings and Grounds. (Special to THE FORUM) Washington, D. C., March 25. Plans of a definite and far-reaching nature have been formulated by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, the new and progressive president of Howard University, that will establish at the nation's capital a truly effective instrumentality for the higher education of the Negro. A comprehensive program was announced at a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees and unanimously adopted by that body, which is to be put into execution during the coming year. Positive steps have been taken to build on historic Howard Hill a "Greater Howard University," expanding and vitalizing the lofty purpose conceived more than half a century ago by the immortal Gen. Oliver O. Howard, to lift the colored millions of America to the highest moral and intellectual plane and to provide a permanent agency for the development of race leaders. A Program "Evolutionary and Revolutionary." "The system I have proposed, and with which the Board is in thorough and sympathetic accord, will be evolutionary and revolutionary," said Dr. Durkee to a press representative in a recent interview. And it will be all that—for Dr. Durkee is a great big man, with a big brain, who has the courage and capacity to do big things in a big way. Since the coming of Dr. Durkee just a few months ago, at the insistent call of thoughtful friends of Howard University, he has given the needs of the school the closest study, and it is the general feeling that the broad-gauged recommendations he has made will ultimately meet the demand of this exacting age for leaders—pathfinders in all the complex phases of the lift of the Negro people. He is an intense believer in the efficacy of the higher education as a solvent for many of the problems that peckl the colored American, and it is his determination to make Howard the exponent of the Negro's loftiest aspirations, just as Harvard and Yale stand for the high --- THE DAYTON FORUM will be assisted by a mixed quartet. After the recital, Mrs. Hawkins will be tended a reception in the lecture room of the church by the members of the Christian Endeavor Society, who will issue tickets for the occasion. A ticket and ten cents will admit you. Secure tickets early, as there will be a large attendance at the reception on account of Mrs. Hawkins' popularity. est intellectual standards of the other race. Howard, as he sees it, should become the "Great National Negro University," in the fullest sense of the term. Some Details of President Durkee's Comprehensive Program Comprehensive Program. According to the plan outlined, the University will be reorganized on the junior college plan, with senior schools. After the completion of two years' work in the junior college, the student will enter one of the senior schools for special training, along lines of individual preferment and adaptability. The senior schools, as shown on a carefully prepared blueprint, will be composed of Schools of Medicine, Law, Theology, Music, Applied Science, Journalism, Commerce and Finance, Liberal Arts, Education and General Service—the last-named to embrace Library training, and Departments of Athletics, Physical Education and Military Science. Each school will have appropriate subdivisions. Thus, it will be seen that President Durkee has enlarged the scope of the institution by adding four schools to the six which already existed. In order that the University may take its proper place among the higher institutions of learning, and to concentrate its energies on real University training, the secondary work done by the Academy and Commercial School will be discontinued at the end of the present school year. It is expected that the work of the Academy can be turned over to some other institution with adequate facilities. The work of the Commercial School is to be raised to a college grade in the new School of Commerce and Finance, leading to a degree and giving a worth-while business education that will be in keeping with the modern requirements of the commercial world. A military unit for instruction in military science and tactics has been authorized by the War Department, and this will offer another avenue for useful training for health and discipline. A fine gymnasium and athletic field are to be provided, and a University Press is to be developed. A Summer School is also among the many new features to be introduced. Classes will be maintained at a full roster and no time will be wasted on doubtful experimentation with classes below the normal standard. To recruit the school membership, a system of allotting scholarships to accredited secondary schools in generous measure will be adopted, and many excellent schools giving a limited training will DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY MARCH 28, 1919 U.S. OFFICIAL PHOTO Here is the German submarine 155, one of the big U-boats surrendered, tied up in the Thames at London.

It will thus be seen that the University idea is brought to a high level, and that the essential secondary work of our youth is not endangered. On the contrary, it will be strengthened. New Offices Created and a Promotion System Adopted. Three new offices are created under the new system, the necessity for which has been long recognized. These are a Dean of Men, a Dean of Women, and a Registrar. Their duties are self-explanatory and their services will bring a helpful impetus into the life of the school. The morale of the teaching force will be vitally improved by a much-needed definite system of promotion. Upon the recommendation of Dr. Durkee a graduated scale of salaries has been adopted, with automatic increases and advancement in rank, as an incentive for greater efficiency, stricter moral character, and heartier co-operation in the ideals for which the school stands, for upon these qualities retention and promotion are based. Teachers are thus enabled to go at their work with a cheerfulness, assurance, and greater singleness of purpose than ever before. Preference Given to Equipped Teach ers of the Negro Race It may be stated here, with all possible emphasis, that there is not a scintilla of truth in any rumor that Dr. Durkee proposes to "eliminate" colored men from the faculty of Howard University. He makes it quite plain that some white men should be on the roster of assistants, to foster a proper spirit of racial co-operation and friendly acquaintance; but it is to be his fixed policy that wherever equipment is anything like equal, the colored man will be given preference over white applicants, for, as he very correctly says: "Howard University is primarily a colored institution—a nursery for race leaders—and colored men of superior ability should have every possible opportunity to reap whatever benefits it may have to bestow, as a stimulus to the best endeavors of the worthy members of the race." Dr. Durkee, therefore, will se- cure his workers for the "Greater Howad University" from the very best talent available among the Negro people, retaining those who "make good" and adding others, as they are needed, from a list of "picked men" from the outside. Howard Alunni to be Stirred to Greater Activity. Under Dr. Durkee's plan, a sturdy effort is to be made to arouse a greater degree of interest in the University among its graduates and former students. Next month, Rev. Emory B. Smith, president of the National Alumni Association of Howard University, is to make a tour of thirty to fifty days throughout the country in the interest of a more active and extensive co-operation of the Alumni Associations of the University, and to generate a more enthusiastic "Howard spirit." The selection of this very live Christian leader and comrade-like alumnus is regarded as an excellent one, and all are confident that his message will be most inspiringly delivered. Many Notable Improvements in Contemplation. The physical aspect of Howard University is to be materially improved. By recommendation of President Durkee, the trustees have voted to erect several new buildings and to remodel the old structures with a view of adding to both the beauty and utility of the school. A new administration building is to go up in the near future, and the untidy Georgia Avenue approach to the grounds is to be altered beyond recognition. The campus is to undergo radical changes and improvements. A government landscape expert will supervise the work of laying out "Victory Avenue," to surround the picturesque Howard Hill, and which is to commemorate the part played by Howard men in the world war. All of this building and landscape development is to be along lines suggested by the Fine Arts Commission. In this entire program of scholastic and physical improvement of the "Greater Howard University," it is gratifying to state that Dr. Durkee has the warmest approval and backing of the Secretary of the Interior and The N. A. A. C. P. and the Citizens' Committee Work On the Beatty Bill A very encouraging report was made on the Beatty Bill by the president of the Dayton Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., the Rev. J. N. Sumuels-Belboder, at its meeting last Tuesday evening at Zion Baptist Church. The president traced the interest and work of this Branch with relation to the bill far nearly in February when it was notified by the National Branch and the Lake District organizers to meet in Columbus in a conference with Mr. Beatty, who was secured to introduce and father the bill through the House of Assembly in Columbus. He told of the success of this quiet work of all the branches in Ohio, including Dayton, so quiet that few of the public knew of the existence of the bill until it had passed the house by a vote of eighty-seven for and ten against. At this stage, it encountered the opposition of the white people engaged in public service—the theatres, confectioners, restaurants, hotels, and like places. At this stage, too, the colored people generally woke up to do what they could to help the passage of the bill. Here in Dayton a committee calling itself the Citizen's Committee was formed and merged its political influence with the influence of the N. A. A. C. P. Two trips were made to Columbus. (1) to confer with the Steering Committee of the N. A. A. C. P. and Mr. Beatty, (2) to do what they could with the representatives of this district and the men higher up in the party in power. At the last conference Representative Beatty categorically gave his promise to fight for the passage of the bill even if that meant his political death. He urged on all patience, and asked every one to hold himself in readiness to use Y. W. C. A. NOTES Every member of the Association is asked to become more interested in our financial drive, which is being continued. Tuesday's total was $2,350, so we are just about half-way to our goal but not at all discouraged. Plans for intensive work were laid out Tuesday afternoon, and with the concerted efforts of the membership the entire amount will be obtained next week. Monday night, March 31, the following ladies of the Campaign Committee are asked to meet at the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Cannon, Miss Watkins, Mrs. Esther Howell, Miss Narcissi Johnson, Mrs. DeMar, Mrs. Griggsby, Mrs. Booker, Mrs. Emma Jackson, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. L. J. Rice, Mrs. Rives, Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. Shaw, Miss Melissa Washington, Mrs. John Thomas, Miss Pearce.

Stanley Durkee is a sincere and substantial friend of Negro progress, is not in question. He is a friend of humanity, regardless of color, creed, or condition, and there is not an atom of race prejudice in his great big heart or in any part of his red-blooded anatomy. This is amply demonstrated by the whole-souled enthusiasm which has characterized his labors for the betterment of this splendid institution, to which he has come at a tremendous personal sacrifice, and by the far-visioned outlook he is giving the race in his unflinching determination to bring about the reforms necessary to expand this time-honored center of the higher culture and Christian leadership into a fierer and broader exponent of University life for all our people. Dr Durkee merits and enjoys the strongest and most cordial support the race and nation can give him in the promotion of this great cause.

This promise revived the hopes of the conference and every one was encouraged when the adjournment was taken. As a further effort of possible assurance, a few men from Dayton called upon Mr. Spidel, the Dayton representative, and were taken to the chairman of the State Republican Committee. They told them their story and asked for help, and received the promise of help. The men who received this promise were Messrs. Price, Wheeler, Buydden, Morton, and Rev. T. J. Smith. Another very industrious worker for the bill was Mr. Cordin, of the Soldiers' Home. There is in Columbus a Steering Committee from the N. A. A. C. P. Its duty is to watch the progress of the bill in the legislature, assist Mr. Beatty when called upon, and report to all the branches and at headquarters in New York. The expense of this committee, appointed by the conference, is borne by all the branches equally in proportion; and as the Dayton Branch stands in great need of funds, it will receive gladly any donation the public or individuals may offer.

COLORED MECHANICS MAKING GOOD By Homer L. Ferguson, President Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. Hampton, Va., March 18.—There are 4,500 colored men working in the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. This is the largest force of skilled colored men and the highest paid group of colored men working anywhere in industry. The shiybuilding plant is a memorial to Collis P. Huntington, who showed himself a friend to Hampton Institute and the colored people. The shipyard in Newport News is a testimonial to Mr. Huntington's belief in the colored man as an industrial worker—a man who would be successful. Mr. Huntington was told by many that it would be impossible to build ships with Negro labor. The ships that we are building are equal to those built anywhere in the world. Some of the colored men who are working in the Newport News shipyard have been with the company 25 years or more. Eight to ten are on the retired list and are receiving from one-third to one-fourth of their regular pay. The successful colored shipyard workers have built their own homes, have supported their churches, and have helped to develop one of the best colored sections in the South. Y. M. C. A. Investment A new Y. M. C. A. building has been built at a cost of $20,000 to care for colored shipyard workers. For six years the Y. M. C. A. was maintained for the shipyard boys and was a pronounced success. PROMINENT WOMAN DIES Mrs. Lagenia Foston, 60, died Tuesday night at 6:20 o'clock, at her home, 245 Dunbar Ave., following an illness of four years. A complication of ailments caused her death. She leaves three daughters, two sisters, and eleven grandchildren. Funeral service will be conducted at Zion Baptist Church Friday. Burial will be in Woodland cemetery. CHICKEN SUPPER A chicken supper and all that goes with it will be given Tuesday, April 1, at the W. Y. W. C. A., 800 W. Fifth Street, for the benefit of C. W. B. M. of Norwood Ave. Church of Christ.

All persons within the jurisdiction of this State shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, and privileges of any places of public accommodation, resort, or amusement subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to all persons. No person being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent, or employee of any such place shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from or deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges thereof, or directly or indirectly publish, circulate, issue, display, post or mail any written or printed communication, notice or advertisement to the effect that any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, and privileges of any such place shall be refused, withheld from or denied to any person on account of race, creed or color, or that the patronage or custom thereat, of any person belonging to or purporting to be of any particular race, creed, or color is unwelcome, objectionable, or not acceptable, desired or solicited.

The subject of study last Sunday, the third Sunday in Lent, was, "Judge me, O God." The vicar appealed to the hearers to imagine and visualize the full meaning of that sentence. It is a drama in itself with scenes of a nature which the individual character particularly warrants. (1) The fidst idea of a person making so bold a request is that he feels that he will be acquitted, or "justified" as the theologians put it, justified of anything he has done. This, of course, ought to be the situation; it ought to be the safe and assured condition of the pleader, but who today can boast of such a uniquely happy existence? (2) The next state of mind that justifies this assertion is that of repentant guilt, uttered with contrition and pleas for mercy and pardon. One throws one's guilty, sin-sick self upon the city and love of God, knowing well that only through such self-abasement and humiliation, such deep detestation if wrong, and such genuine giant effort to overcome desires that drive me to do wrong; that our just sentence can be entirely removed from against us. Here one fills the role of a suppliant at the foot of an indugent father and the Judge of souls. (3) In all this, one can dramatise the scene. One can imagine the effect when one has knowledge of the crimes, the offenses, the motives, the attempts, and the wilfulness of the party to be judged. Then putting myself in the place of the pleader, one can easily arrive at the result. (4) Now, the Lenten thought for today is just that—putting yourself in the identical place and calling upon God to judge you. That is what the church asks her children to do today. All the days past she strove to bring you in harmony with the life and thought and work of Christ. She pleaded with you to follow closely and sincerely, to discard all questionable customs, to eradicate all destructive habits, to put on anew the soul of effort and "carry on." You promised you would. Did you essay to fulfill your promise? The answer is, "Judge me, O God, and see." Those who have tried hard have succeeded somewhat, I am sure. The judgment will be according to the effort put forth. What do you expect, conscientiously, honestly, sincerely, your sentence to be? Acquaint? Encouragement? Reprinand? Forgiveness? Condemnation? You know best. And it is impossible to fool God. The St. Cecilia Guild will have a memorial service in honor of its first president, the late Mrs. Laura Monday Swanson, on Sunday next; March 30. The service will begin with a solemn celebration of a corporate communion at 7:00 a.m., when special intercessory prayers will be offered for the repose of the soul of the departed and comforting sentences for the bereaved. The evening service at four o'clock will bring the memorial to a close. Special music, special sermon, and special chants will be used. Father Samuels-Belboder will preach. The altar will be decorated with special flowers contributed by the Guild in memory of its lamented member. A cordial invitation is extended to every one to all the services.

ZION BAPTIST NOTES Much interest is being manifested in our preparations for the special soul-saving campaign to be launched at Zion April 1. It is being realized more fully that the one great work of the church is to save the souls of men and upbuild God's kingdom on earth. All are asked to join us in this effort with earnest prayer and by personal appeal to the unsaved. The Soldiers' Day programa of the Sunday school, church, and B. Y. P. U. are complete, and our services next Sunday from 9:20 a.m. to night service will be replete with patriotism and with honor to our returned soldiers. All soldiers are invited to be present, whether you were overseas or returned from camp. It is with exceeding great pleasure that we are able to announce that the Rev. Dr. Massey of the First Baptist Church, has consented to address us at 3:00 p.m. Sunday on the subject, "The Passion and Pursuit for Souls." You should not miss this stirring and wonderful address. Let there be a crowded house. You will be thankful for having come. Many of the church clubs are beginning to bestir themselves in preparation for our rally which comes the first Sunday in June.

THE JAPANESE INVITATION The newspapers reported last week that at a meeting of the International League of the Darker Peoples of the World at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, a young Japanese editor from Tokio "invited the Negroes of America to be more friendly with the Japanese and assured them how this relationship would develop many advantages commercially and otherwise." This invitation is worth considering, both "commercially and otherwise." There are, no doubt, many mutual advantages that could be derived from the existence of such friendly relationship between the Negro and the Japanese leaders of the world's darker peoples. The world is now entering upon an era of the keenest economic competition, and it is a well-known fact that races and peoples have been exterminated as surely by economic factors as by punitive warfare. It therefore behooves us to examine closely our economic condition, and such an examination, made in a frank and efficient spirit, cannot but open our eyes to the fact that our present economic situation in this country is one of such great danger and increasing menace that if we are to survive the coming economic warfare it is imperatively necessary that THE OTHER FELLOW BEAT HIM TO IT Madam C.
