To the Honorable Board of Education, Houston Independent School District, Houston, Texas. Fellow-Citizens: We, the undersigned, appointed as a Citizen's Committee representing fully one-third of the district's population and a large number of the taxpayers of said district, after a careful survey and investigation of the needs of the coloured schools, urge that you consider the following recommendations: COLORED HIGH SCHOOL—Either purchase of additional property adjacent to present site on Sun Palm and property across on Frederick's Street or purchase of property in some other part of the city for said school. We believe the remodeling of the present structure a waste of money and effort, for the building, at its best, is totally inadequate for modern school purposes. Building should be erected to house all departments under one roof; having auditorium to seat fully 1000 persons; modern in every respect, with sufficient ground for recreation and athletic activities. Present status: 900 daily attendance, 500 seats; 100 children to a room, with seats for 40 to 50; 13 class room, need 20 to 25. We recommend and ask for appropriation (provided $3,000,000 school bond issue is carried) to make possible a high school building that will reflect credit upon our great city, inspire our children and serve as one of the places of interest to visitors. If present building is remodeled, add science room and storage room for books; secure additional ground for recreation. HIGH SCHOOL NO. 2—Exercise of high school, modern in its entirety, for scholastic of Fifth Ward. Plenty ground for recreation and athletic activities. Equiping of manual training department and inauguration of a course in commerce or commercial course.

NewsDispatch tell of Claude McKay, the Negro poet, author of *Marian Shadow*, as one of the two Biographies were adopted in the *Journal of Negro Observation*. An international *In Memoriam*. He glanced for his race. It is reported that rumination were adopted in the interest of Negro assimilation. While it is not clear whether such rumination, the great pressure of Negro, either an agrarian or an urban life, was the basis of the world’s racial, religious, liberal and conservative, is an intriguing theme in anthropology and archaeology, mostly, mortality and physicality. It is a cogent argument in favor of Negro anthropology and archaeology have established anything it is that can be used to physicalize, protect and habitate, that their needs to physicalize, protect and habitate, that Negro, he writes, able to study the new social structures of Negro, able to usurp all of ‘The Mennonites.

DUNBAR SCHOOL—Enlargement and remodeling of main (present) building; removal of temporary structures; fill yard; secure drainage and purchase adjacent property extending from school line to Schwartz Street. WASHINGTON SCHOOL—Wreck temporary buildings, in bad shape, moved by every strong wind. Erect modern brick building; purchase adjacent property on Bingham and Colorado, thereby affording school full one-half block. Manual training equipment and vocational training. Construct auditorium in new edifice to seat at least 500. HARPER SCHOOL—Remodel and enlarge present building; purchase adjacent church property; provide equipment for vocational training and build auditorium to accommodate 500. This school is now having double daily sessions and several class rooms in the basement, which is very unhealthy. Add additional rooms to BRUCE, BLACKSHEAR, CRAWFORD and LUCKIE SCHOOLS. Erect new room at BRAY'S BAYOU, MT. GILLIAN, RYAN ADDITION, HENDERSON and INDEPENDENCE HEIGHTS SCHOOLS. On a basis of percentage, we believe that the school building program should be so comprehensive that a people, constituting fully one-third of the population, should receive, out of this proportion, 30,000 of school bond issue, at least one-sixth, or fully 50,000 for improvement, by purchasing additional property and equipment for schools for colored children. When it is borne in mind that practically nothing has been expended for these schools out of past bond issues, this appeal and allowance or request is rather mild and modest. To arouse interest among the colored voters in the proposed school bond issue election, which will be held Monday, May 7, 1923, it is imperative that we receive some facts and figures re the exact or possible amount of this $3,000,000 to be spent for colored schools.

President Cleveland Publishes Statement Regarding the three propositions to be submitted to the voters of the Houston independent school district at Monday's special election, Hon. A. S. Cleveland, president of the board of education, has issued the following statement to the electors of the district: "It is the desire of the board to bring to bear all available architectural intelligence in improving old buildings and in building new ones so that the Houston school system shall be able to provide the program in country in point of physical properties, such as grounds, housing, equipment, as well as in management and instruction. The new law, the board of education will handle all school finances and is responsible only to the people. The school property in the Houston independent school district can be conserved at about $9,000,000.00. Bonds. The law requires the board of education to assume a school bond debt of $2,450,000, hitherto carried by the $3,000,000 bond issue will give up a total indebtedness of $4,000,000. This debt will be represented by 40 year bonds bearing 5 per cent of the total indebtedness of $4,000,000. This debt will have weaken us only 41 cents as the tax rate for supporting the schools. The municipal government, according to the terms of the new school debt, will have to leave us only 41 cents as a majority vote for these propositions the salary allowance would be about 75 per cent interest and sink funding, and allow for delinquents. 25 cents on the hundred dollars on the property of the Houston independent school district to pay this interest and create a skimming tax. We believe that no man or woman in Houston knowingly invites the city to commit by voting against the district. Only half-day sessions until a future bond issue shall be ordered by a majority vote of the citizen. Support and Maintenance. In 1919 the people voted 50 cents on the 1100 for the support of the city in the city and in 1929 they voted more, making a total of 75 cents. District 25 came in with 50 cent tax and still carries that amount. The new school law repeals or shortens the 25 cents levied in the city in 1925 to take effect January 1, 1924. Ulmus the tax rate requested, 75 cents is granted, the rate for 1924 will be reduced to 70 cents, should fall also, from this 50 cents must substitute 9 cents necessary to take care of the outstanding city school bonds ($2,450,000), a debt which the municipal government, according to the terms of the new school debt, will have to leave us only 41 cents as a majority vote for these propositions the salary allowance would be about 75 per cent interest and sink funding, and allow for delinquents. 25 cents on the hundred dollars on the property of the Houston independent school district to pay this interest and create a skimming tax. We believe that no man or woman in Houston knowingly invites the city to commit by voting against the district.

If the citizens of the city are not present the board will be compiled provide BAPTIST LEADERS HOLD BOARD MEETING HERE The executive board of the State Baptist Sunday School Convention held a two-day session at Bethel Baptist School, where the were: Rev.

Patchell, 1915 *Dowling Street, one of our leading undergrads* and a man who is ever striving to give the colored public of the city the best in service, has once more made a step toward rewarding greater service. He has journeyed to Dallas and returned to Houston for a full ambulance in Houston.

Long life and intelligence, progressive and agile are those Townmen. tee Issue Cleveland Statement tons to be submitted to the voters' pool district at Monday's special president of the board of education, att to the electors of the district: only half-day sessions until a future bond issue shall be ordered by a majority vote of the clitizens. Support and Maintenance. "In 1919 the people voted 50 cents on the $100 for the support of the schools in the city and in 1922 they voted 25 cents more, making a total of 75 cents. "District 3 came in with a 50 cent tax and still carries that amount. "The new school law repeals or abrogates the 25 cents levied in the city in 1922, to take effect January 1, 1924." Unless the tax rate requested, 78 cents is granted, the rate for 1924 will increase to 80 cents should fall also, from this 50 cents we provide interest and sliding fund to provide interest and sliding fund to take care of the outstanding city bonds. The amount handed to the board of education by the municipal government, according to the city budget, is handed to the board of education. Taking 9 cents from the 50 cents, would leave us only 41 cents as the minimum amount we would receive. "Should the citizens refuse to cast a majority vote for these propositions, the city budget would be cut to 51 per cent of the present schedule, then the school term must be cut to 50 per cent of the present schedule, monthly salaries were left unattached. "We believe that no man or woman in this city will be subject to this cathay by voting against the bond issue or the maintenance tax provisions." "We know that good citizens are divided on the question of the elective school system in this city, but is best for the schools of Houston that the apoductive system be continued." "We therefore think it is not improper for us to ask the voters to vote for all three of the propositions."

Recently The Informer published an editorial in which it was suggested that a representative colored committee should be appointed to confer with the Houston school board regarding the consideration that will be given the colored schools of the system, provided the $3,000,000 school bond issue is successful at the polls Monday, May 7, 1923. Such a committee was subsequently appointed, including representatives from all sections of the city; in the main, large taxpayers and persons interested in the growth, expansion and efficiency of the Houston public schools. This committee, with the knowledge of the school board, made the recommendation of the colored schools of the system and then conferred with the heads of the school system, being received most cordially by both the business manager and president of the board; and the matter was discussed at length and a list of requests and recommendations made to the board regarding the amount to be expended on colored schools and contemplated program regarding the normal and modern facilities and equipment for colored schools. This committee was given a hearing, and, while the exact amounts to be spent on the several schools have not been ascertained nor tabulated, the president and business manager both assured this colored delegation that being the amount to be spent on and for colored schools in the newly created district, in the event this proposed issue carries at Monday's election. The Informer has repeatedly contended that the colored schools of Houston are not insistent enough with their requests along this and other lines, and the promises of substantial improvements in colored schools made by the school heads to this colored committee, that people who never ask for anything seldom get anything. The Informer did not favor supporting the proposed bond issue blindly, and, awaiting this information and assurance, this paper has not committed itself on the bond issue. Since the colored schools will get fully one-half million dollars in the proposed bond issue, the contemplated improvements and enlargements, especially in colored schools, are so badly and woefully needed, this paper believes that it would not serve the best interests of the public at large and our race in particular, if it opposed or supported in a laukwarm manner this proposed bond issue for $3,000,000, because it seems assured that we are to get some real substantial improvements out of this bond issue. The Informer not only supports this proposition, but believes that every colored citizen should vote in the affirmative on this issue Monday. Never in the history of the local public schools and bond issues has the colored people been promised or assured such a comprehensive and pretentious program, and to vote our popular prejudices instead of our sober and unbiased judgment would be both disastrous and calamitous at this time. We owe it to our children, our neighbors' children, their parenthood, the colored people, and vote for the passage of this $3,000,000 bond issue Monday, May 7, 1923. The future of the Houston schools is at stake, and we can not afford to take any backward step at this critical period in our municipal expansion and educational growth. In this connection, the city has far outgrown its school system, and this has led to the building in this city that would do credit to a town of 10,000 population. Not only do Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Beaumont and several of the larger Texas cities put Houston in the background when it comes to building the cities their own schools, but it comes to building Fort Arlington, Arlington, Palestine, Marshall and others of their rank and size, have far outstripped Houston in this respect. But these buildings, enlarged grounds, improvements, as necessary and imperative as they are, can not be made possible without the cooperation of the co-operation of the large number of colored voters of this city. We can not petition, talk, resolve nor "hot air" school buildings and better equipment into existence; it requires money and that in large sums, and the only way to raise this needed money is to vote for bonds, authorized and approved by the voters at the ballot box. Good intentions will not even erect school buildings, and, then the citizens favorable to the bond issue's passage who fail or refuse to vote Monday, will imperil not only the bond issue submitted, but the future career of thousands of boys and girls of both race. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1923. The editor of this paper was a member of the citizens committee, not in the capacity of newspaper man, but having been appointed and darned for service as a citizen by the citizens, and thus we can consistently and concretely urge our people to vote for this kind issue. We will be haper and more aware of the their pell tax before midnight of January 31, 1923, or seceded an exemption certificate, one vote in this special election next Monday, both men and women, colored and white. By Dear Letter You will be haper and more aware of the their pell tax before midnight of January 31, 1923, or seceded an exemption certificate, one vote in this special election next Monday, both men and women, colored and white. Shall we bight the future of our prosperity or shall we make it possible for the lamp of education to brighten and light their lives? We must accept the greater promise that this is OUR FIGHT as citizens and we must not sit down and expect others to wage this battle for us. In this connection, a colored committee, headed by Mr. J. R. Grigley, is soliciting and raising funds among the colored culture of the nation. We are too many to formation to the colored voters. This is indeed commendable and augurs much for our future. Go to the polls Monday, May 7, 1923, and vote FOR the $3,000,000 school bond issue! Above all, please help people of His Since the school have been divorced from the city, the board will have supervision over property estimated at $20,000,000, and peanut politicians would fail miserably trying to administer or supervise such a gigantic enterprise. Colored voters will do well to remember that wherever an election is to be held for office either in the city or country, same way is always discovered to hold elections without the annual brother participation, and safety first demands that we formulate the old dirt. Remember the sage, "A new broom sweeps well, but it takes an old broom to get the dirt." Vote for the appointive board in Monday's election by all members and do not fail to vote for the 78th school tax for maintenance and operation of the local public schools. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! column (to which the school authorities have committed themselves favorably and affirmatively almost in its entirety, except in the case of the student institution) and then go to the polls Monday and vote FOR the $3,000,000 bond issue. This paper has no ax to grind nor any alterer motive; its purpose is to inform the valued people are too well to reiterate or enumerate here. This issue is too vital and far-reaching for us to sit supinely by and permit to go by default; for if any children in Houston need better school buildings, more whitmanne and healthy physical surroundings and environments, it is the coloured children. Shall our children continue to be cramped up and jammed in unhealthy rooms like sardines in a can or shall they get a better and firmer grasp and hold on life by modern equipment, adequate buildings and commodious campunes? APPOINTIVE OR ELECTIVE BOARD? Not only will the voters be asked to pass judgment upon a $3,000,000 school bond issue in next Monday's election, but two other propositions will be submitted along with this issue. One calls for an additional 3 tax on the $100 valuation, making the school tax 78e on the $100, which will serve as a sinking fund and revenue for the current expenses incident to the maintenance and operation of the schools; salaries of teachers, juniors and others connected with the educational department of the city who are remunerated financially. The other proposition puts it squarely up to the voters to make the future boards appointive (as at present) or elective, as was the vogue years ago. The Informer favors the appointive system largely because it will inject too much politics in the school system for the best interests of all concerned; it will cripple, impede, impede and hamper the educational work of the community and make for inefficiency with systems that are too complex, often elevate to office inefficient, incompetent and incapable persons. Then, too, if the elective system obtain, who knows what a subterfuge will not be found to conduct a primary and thereby nullify the colored citizen's vote, if not disfurbine him altogether, as is practically done now in the democratic primary here? What little we may hope to gain by an elective system would more than likely be short-lived and eventually prove a buoyant force. He has no reason to later be politicians or the willing and ready tools of designing and aching political harms. The position as member on the board of education in the independent school district of Houston pays no salary; and, with the necessity for hectic political campaigns and the customary fireworks and trotting out family shelters employed and involved in the school district, the board is not in a position, task to induce public-spirited and big-hearted citizens to aspire or campaign for such offices of honor and service, where the pay is nil. If the mayor is elected by the people (and this is only partly true in Houston) and if he in turn appoints the school board (as has been the custom here for the last several years), is not democratic functioning, and is not responsible to the people per the mayor and city commissioners? Another thing, these appetitive boards, while they have not pleased everybody (and no human being, who attended to a row of pins, ever has or ever will), they certainly have been a tremendous improvement over the elecric boards of yours, and The Informer thinks that it would be wisdom and common sense to "ensure these lilts than to fly to those we know not of." The board is well-afforded, well-funnelled and well-affected on the boards under its present media operand, but it would be next to impossible to get these citizens or any of their calibre and standing to offer themselves as candidates for such positions in a popular election. The city and society would lose their able and attute services and the professional office seekers, long on palver list but short on performance, would form a monopoly and ever long build up a reputation that would be marked and marred by graft, crookedness, dishonesty, inefficiency and incompetency. We recognize the fact that in a democratic republic the people rule and have the inalienable and constitutional right to ask who their public servants shall be; but liberty and license are not synonymous by any means, and all things that are harmful are not expressive. Informer is not a reckoning nor stand-alone, but we believe in letting well enough alone, especially when such a policy seems to be getting tangible results and making for efficiency, harmony, growth, expansion and progress. MOVIE TALKS Introducing a Short Series of Common Sense Reflections About People and Pictures. By O. P. BEWALY. NO. 1. Dear Short Storyteller: You will look better, not better, live longer and have more. If you will devote more of your time to wholesome entertainment, A period of relaxin' is essential. A period of relaxin' is essential. A period of relaxin' is essential. A period of work and sobriety. Too much of any one thing "macken a drill a boy." From home to work and back again, or spending time with friends and family, entertaining ourselves by backyard and side-business discussions of everybody's business except our own, and in other various and similar contexts, we are not cumulative to the best interest of our mental, moral and physical development. The stable and thoughtful motion picture picture realizes their previous work and empowers the very best talent the world affords. The masterpieces of the film collection on the screen. The thoughtful exhibitor selects the very best pictures in the collection. It is unmissable to say that you do not care for pictures. A statement of attitude is given to the viewer, understanding or an admission that you have been too narrow-minded and conceived to keep space with the picture's greatest medium of expression. The complete story of progress and change in the world is told through the screen. Historical and scientific facts are made the property of the other which unintended meld. Love, romance and history are made in life that is indispensable to the well-developed, normal human being. In general they give us first hand experience about the habits and customs of people in every land and cloze, and they introduce the high chap picture humans become citizens of the world by helping the community survive.
