NEGRO TEACHERS ACT IN P. V. SITUATION HOME EDITION VOL. VII NEGRO THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON. TEXAS GET BUSY. It is suggested in The Informer week before last, the Colored Teachers' State Association of Texas, of which Boot H. B. Pemberton, Marshall, is affiliated, has decided to take a hand in the Prairie View situation, both as it relates to the next principal that of the institution, taking the institution out of petty politics and making and maintaining it a real educational center. Only through organized efforts can the Negro, or any people, hope to get any positive and permanent recognition about and as we are able to see the colored teachers of Texas interesting and buoying themselves in the welfare and perseverance of an institution of learning that means more and for the colored race of Texas than any other educational school in the NEWSPAPER HOAX. In keeping with its established reputation. The Informer always tries to keep up with the latest news, and in pursuance of this policy this paper has been able to load up the latest news, and in pursuance of this policy this city, South and East Texas and Louisiana, is issue of September 19, 1925, there appeared an article relative to a group of insurance companies that standard Life Insurance Company and restoring it to the race. Subsequent developments have provided sufficient not only to collate information on the design and the centrally misleading and erroneous. This news story was sent out from the Information Officers Corporation, 2802 Pine Boulevard, Louis, Mo., and practically all of the information was sent out through questioning even though questioning or doubting somewhat the veracity of the information that this race corporation would not guilty of wilfully and intentionally misleading and inaccurate mention and inaccurate mention on the other-carried this feature on the front pages like the Informer on their front pages like The Informer. However, not unlike the Informer, most of these papers, in their headlines or sub-headings, inserted the information that no confirmation of deal from Atlanta or Naval Air Force had been made in the courier effect of the Southern Insurance Company, which wrote the courier effect of the sales and adds that while the deal had previously been short on the "long green" for THE HOUSTON INFORMER The new executive secretary and the board of directors have organized twelve teams to prosecute this drive. Your membership will be solicited. If you wish further details the teams will be prepared to give them to you, or you may obtain the same by calling at the Y. M. C. A. building, 603 Prairie Avenue, and the secretary will be glad to give you all the desired information.

STANDARD LIFE "BIG GUNS" VISIT HOUSTON Last week-end Houston was visited by two of the "big guns" of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, when W. H. King and Aaron Day, Jr., were in the city. However, their meeting here was accidentally both stated that the Standard has about regained the lost ground and that the future of the company looks good to them. Mr. Day, who is agency director of the Standard, is a native Texan and was a professor at Prairie View both before and after the world war, which he entered and served as captain—the only colored Texan thus honored at the Des Moines, Iowa, officer training school. closing the deal, and thus it fell through. The Mound City race corporation was rather premature in its announcement of the deal being consummated, and the dispatching of this false report has done much to harm the cause and to place both the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation and colored newspapers in the wrong light. Of course, The Informer, like the other race publications, feels that the blame lies wholly at the door of this St. Louis concern; but on the other hand we feel that we owe this explanation and apology to our many readers, for it is the aim of this paper to always print honest, reliable and truthful news. South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1925 What is claimed to be the largest group policy ever issued by a colored insurance company to a colored organization, was written here this week to the International Longshoremen's Association, through its wide-awake president, Freeman Everett. The policy was issued by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D.C., and is for $250,000. Insurance men state that this is the largest single insurance contract ever issued and handled by race men, for race men, and the deal was closed by Oscar J. Polk, manager of the South Texas district for the Washington company, assisted by A. J. Wilson, another representative of the National Benefit Life. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is reputed to be one of the largest and strongest financial institutions of its kind owned and operated by the race, doing business in 26 states with 99 branch offices, writing health, accident and ordinary insurance policies on men, women and children. The Houston office is located in suite 417-418 Odd Fellows Temple, and under the wise management of Mr. Polk, who has had several years experience in the insurance field, the South Texas territory is being developed thoroughly and efficiently.

LOCAL PLAYERS SHOWED ABILITY IN SOCIAL DRAMA That the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children; that many men and women, high in religious and social life, have the�proper conception of their duty to their fellowmen; that self-righteousness is one of the outstanding deterrents to practical�. The fact that the men are not in the�, between men (generally speaking); that the law of retribution—sowing and reaping—is implacably sure and stern, visiting the high and low, rich and poor, saint and slavere; that we have the most of the most of the most of our viewpoint changed on some of the fundamentals of the doctrines ex-pounded by the Lowly Nazarene—these and many more truths and lessons were forcibly and masterly portant to the most of the brilliant local dramatists at the City Auditorium Monday night. Presenting like professional "The Eternal Magdalene," one of the greatest religious-social plays of all time, the most important part of the play is the held spellbound from the first act until the final fall of the curtain at the conclusion of Bradshaw's wonderful dream, which brought about both a transformation and regeneration in the material and moral reformer. The play deals with the question of segregated vice, a campaign having been planned to close up the tender-loin district of the city and run all the time to the end of the day. In various sections of the city. The play is full of tense and dramatic scenes, with J. W. Humming (director) as Eljfah Bradshaw, sharing a lion's share of the holder. The play deals with the question of segregated vice, but the histrionic ability, displayed by Mr. Beate L. Montgomery, Mrs. Edna Griffin, Mrs. Berdie White, Mrs. Adeline Arcenaux of Galveston, Mrs. Ray Williams, Mr. John Johnson, Mrs. W. H. Johnson, Mr. George E. O. Smith, and E. C. Fonaworth, demonstrated that Houston has peerless dramatic talent, and it is the consensus of opinion that no colored professional organization that has ever appeared here had anything to do with this galaxy of brilliant stage artists. Musical numbers by the Antichore orchestra, died by Mrs. A. Predford Miles, H. M. Middleton, C. A. George and Messrs M. H. Montgomery and Messrs H. M. Montgomery, rehearsed, and the entire program was par excelent—about the best ever staged here. The program was given as a benefit for the building fund of Antichore Baptist Church, Mrs. T. Andrewz, and Mrs. T. Andrewz, mention for bringing Mr. Hemmings, formerly of the affichey players of the stage this wonderful play. The latter lived up to and exceeded his national reputation as a great actor and stage manager. DR. OSBORNE, FORMER HEAD OF PRAIRIE VIEW, TO STUDY IN CHICAGO Dr. J. G. Oberne, formerly principally an Industrial College, spent last Friday in the city looking after some business courses. He attended a course in the treatment of the oya which he thread at Chichester on which he city and specializes along this line.

J. - Eight white secretaries of the student department at the University of North Carolina are referred to take accommodations in a white hotel on the Boardwalk, and the National Council was refused dations and went with the retries to the Ridley Hall building, a state resort city. Among the retries pointed to the Ridley Hall building, which strongly opposed to the old State Teachers Association Acts In State School Behalf; Two Committees Appointed Hilldale Leading Kansas City In Negro World Series Games Special to The Informer. Marshall, Texas.—The section of the University of Texas at Austin of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial Institute by the board of directors through the newly chosen head of Texas A. and M. College, and the wide range of faculty and staff tried on through the process of the state, seems to be guiding direction and all the necessary steps on the part of bodies of interested citizens and the State Association of Teachers. The principal choice of the new principal of the institution may lead to more effective instruction. President H. B. Pemberton of the state association, has already conference committee of the association and committee of the association and have urged that he make arrangements to guard the situation. Accordingly, he has named a prospective committee of directors at an early date. This committee sent the case of the school to the board of directors at an early date. This committee joined with another and larger committee, composed of members of the association of all walks of life, in an effort to determine the head of the institution and that he be capable of leading the action of the school into a more proactive decision. Want Capable School Man With Power to Act With Authority. It is generally conceded that the threat of an information-policy crisis has been been less in the fact that those who have acted have been so limited in their power and so dependent upon outside influence that they have been unable to respond to the threat. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 1.—It required twelve innings to settle the issue in the opening game of the Negro world's series between the Hilldale club of Philadelphia and the Monarchs at Muehlebach field Friday the visitors nosing out ahead, 5 to 2. A crowd of 3,000 witnessed the game. The contest was a see-saw affair from the start and not until Philadelphia hits began to drop with regularity in the twelfth was there any indication as to which way the pendulum of victory would swing. "Rube" Currie, former Monarchs hurler, traveled the full route for the Hilldale aggregation and did a mighty creditable job of it, yielding only eight safe blows. C. Bell, who was the starting hurler for the Monarchs, was jerked in the eleventh after he had issued a walk and been touched for a single. In the fourth, when McNair, who had singled to left, counted on Moore's double up the right field embankment. Oddly enough, it was the same combination which accounted for the only other Monarch run, which came in the eleventh, tying the count again, only Moore's second blow to the same spot was good for a triple. Thomas, who had walked and advanced on G. Johnson's single in the seventh, scored on Warfield's sacrifice fly, giving the Hilldale club its first run. Singles by Bridges, Carr and Mackey and a walk to Stevens netted Philadelphia another run in the eleventh. Stevens scoring while a series of timely hits Bridges, Carr and Warfield, alone some clever base-running, gave dale a trio of runs in the twelfth. of the school. It is also claimed in this connection that the position has been rendered the selection of a man at the political alliances and that this has rendered the selection of a man at the executive almost impossible. It is probable that the case of the selection of a man will be presented in the form of a petition to the near future of interested parties and letters to the president of A. and M. College and the president of the near future. The petition will be attended at once and every member of the general public will be urged to join the movement. It is conceived that the success of that of any other state school in the whole of South. But the success by the failure of its directing mission is beseted by the failure of its directing operations into these areas. And in view of the fact that it is supposed to be a man of the public school, it is argued that it is to the advantage of the best possible training to it. The best possible training. If such could happen, as the standards of Texas public schools are so, it could be filled with Texans instead of with those from other states as is so. No Particular Person Advocated For Position. The petition of the teachers will not advocate the cause of any particular institution of the institution and will must re-organization as a college which should be thrown around the man chosen for the position. It will primarily for his ability to conduct a school and not because of any other reason. Kansas City Old Series Games Inning and was easily the outstanding start of the afternoon. Monarchs Score First. Poll Cookell, the visiting pitcher was bumped into giving plains first innings. The advantage first innings in the second, however, was a four four inning two two-series games the visitors two runs in a next four innings saw Dean and Cookell in a scoreless双, Swett opened the seventh with a single and scored on Duncan's sacrifices and base line. The next stanza saw the Monarchs take advantage of some lucky breaks to win. Three runs were scored aloud in each inning and in arry, the ball past the infield. Allen, Duncan and Hawkins made infield hits, Swett strolled on four wide pitches. A sacrifice was bunched along with the hits and the outfield. Third Game. Hildale jumped into the in Negro world's championship games with the team that defended Kansas City 3 to 2. The game count now stands two to one, Hildale Scrip Lee and W. Bell scored. Hilldale Wins Fourth Game. Nip Winters, with three victories to his credit over the Kansas City Monarchs, scored a goal Sunday to pitch a 7 win for over the western champions, and scored on the opening lining they when Warfield beat a hit to the Cities tied the count in the City tied the count in the second and the 4,000 yards and scored on Hawkins' rays, who throw to Mackey the ball as he alld into the plate.

Duncan was called out on strikes. Drake tripled, scoring Sweatt. Drake was caught at the plate when Judy Johnson grabbed Allen's high-border and threw to Mackey, who, after tagging Drake, threw to Warfield, killing Allen trying to get to second. The Hildale ninth saw the fireworks. George Johnson tripled, Winters scored him with a single. Stevens forced Winters at second. Briggs doubled, putting Stevens on third. Warfield tripled to right, scoring Stevens and Briggs, and scored himself when Joseph let McNair's throw roll to the stands. Carr struck out and Moore threw out Mackey. With their backs to the wall, Kansas City showed much fight in their half of the final frame. Joseph opened up with a single. Hawking beat out a hit to Judy Johnson. Sweatt singled to left, scoring Joseph and Hawkins perched on third. Mackay came in front of the plate and threw out Duncan. Foreman batted for Drake and flied to Thomas. Allen ended the game by flying to Briggs. Both teams left for Philadelphia, where they will resume the series. Rogan's knee is still in bad shape and it is unlikely that he will get into the series.

The catcher "Hired" Hargreave of the St. Louis Browns is wondering if fate have been mighty unkind to him for three years. He ages Hargreave joined the Washington club of the Americas, the New Haven Hawks, the New Haven Hawks, the Eastern league, the innings, Hargreave had always been a turn batter, but much preferred hitting from the left side of the plate. After Chief Bender, famous Indianapolis Indians, the major, he held down several managerial births in the纵队, among the New Haven club. Hargreave was a natural right-handed batter and ordered him to cut out his left-handed efforts. He met with excellent success. When he joined the Washington club his record as a right-handed batter was made by him that he hit either way didn't receive much encouragement. During his stay at Washington Hargreave, he achieved the brilliant Rael, able to work every day, kept Hargreave either a bench player or given some relief pitcher ready. Occasionally he got a chance as pichch hitter, with varying success. He got a right side of the plate. Several times he requested a chance to hit left-handed, but nothing was done. He brought him to St. Louis. Manager Sleider of the Browns sent the veteran catcher, Hank Severn, to Washington, get rid of Midgepire and Hargave. In return, one week after joining the St. Louis club Hargave had won himself a call to the catching staff. He hit doing it. "Do you care if I left-handed? was one of the first questions he asked. "I don't care how you bat, just so you turn in some base hits," replied Sleider. His first game against Detroit batted left-handed. Hargave made a single, double and home run in three times up. The week of play Hargave made four home runs, and every one of them figured in a St. Louis victory. Manager George Sisler "Hes a smart pitcher right now," remissed Staley, after his team had him win. "He has pain, seems to know what it is all about, but needs experience. A month on the bench will do him a lot. He will present. He must learn what to and what not to pitch to the various dangerous batters before he can hope for much success. That can be better in observation than in any other way."

In memory of mother, Mrs. Martha Perryman, who departed this life October 2, 1921. I have lost her whom I loved. Stilled the voice so sweet to hear. I was the best to have a long-lived warmed by love for many a year. Rest is her's, who never asked. Rest, however, she was tasked. Mourn for her? Of course I must say yes, what I will do with I care. But she taught me how to trust God throughout the passing years. I have had a great love to play. I had to mind that very day. I believed her when she said: "God knows best, and trust in Him!" She had a lot of love to be dead when though my mom was dim. I'm with tears beside her grave. I'll live her teaching and be brave!

PHYSICIAN BURIED SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PIONEER DOCTOR ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS PIONEER DOCTOR ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS After a lingering illness of several months duration, Dr. James T. Newman, D.B.A., joined the faculty in leans, died at his home, 2823 Third Street, Sunday night, and was buried in a memorial from St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Dr. Newman, the dean of colored churches, was actively pursued his practice until a difficultly unable to make calls. For half a century he held his office, making thousands of friends. This was evidenced by the large number who followed him remains to his last resting place in the church. He was shown by the many beautiful floral offerings ennobling the affection in his life. For many years, until advancing to the position for him to up the practice for a doctor, he was a doctor for a large number of fraternal societies. Representatives from String Monastery, Masonic lodge, and Star of Hope Lodge, Friendship Benefulent Association, Longhorne Presbyterian Association, were in attendance at the On Charity Hospital Staff. During his distinguished career Dr. Newman was honored and recognized in many ways. He was the first and only colored man on the staff of the Charity Hospital, having been appointed a surgeon at that institution. For many years he was a pension examiner and as such made an enviable record for himself. Beginning the practice of medicine when there were very few Negro physicians, and before the day of many specialists, his reputation was earned as family physician and adviser. At the time when most of his patients had but little or no education and no business experience, his broad human sympathy and sound advice, was as much sought as was his medical knowledge. It is said of him that all that was of interest to the families, whose physician he was, was of interest to him and their confidences held sacred. Many a wayward girl has given credit to Dr. Newman for her success in life; many a boy had his ambitions fired by the friendly counsel of the veteran physician. Surviving Dr. Newman, whose wife died but a short time ago, is a daughter, Mrs. Mamie E. Reed, of this city; one grandson, Jerald J. Reed, and two granddaughters, Mrs. W. C. Foulner and Miss E. C. Bolsonaw, of Los Angeles. BESSIE SMITH AND JAZZ ORCHESTRA AT LYRIC Bessie Smith is meaning her blues at the Lycie Music Festival with her all-star vaudeville bill and her seven-piece orchestra.

Finding a House (v. 2). 2. This he found with Aquila and Priscilla, Jew, who were recently expelled by the cruel edict of Gandau. 2.

While the men took to tell when naughty sisters, he must not allow to interfere with preaching the Gospel. His Activism, We increased His power. He increased the naughty sisters. This resulted from three causes: (1) They brought good news from the church at Thessalonica (I Thess. 3). (2) The hear of the starethood of those who had confessed Christ under his ministry, put new vigor into his labors. (3) They brought peculiar gifts from the Macedonian church (Phl. 4:15; II Cor. 11:9). (4) He brought the necessity of being a living, he could now devote more time and energy to the preaching of the gospel. (5) Sites and Timothy became assistant to work. 3. Paul Voppos (v. 6). His increased activity was met with increased opposition. As the Lord's counsel, he worked their work, the ministers of Satan put forth corresponding efforts in opposition. Paul Announces His Purpose to turn to the Gentiles (v. 9). Because of their blasphemy and opposition, he ceased to work among the people, judgment causes one to abandon work where efforts have been fruitless, but it is difficult to know just when to do so. He was forced to the work by pressuring efforts when people have turned against the truth. Paul's declaration, if one were to be faithful, is one that they could easily find him. It is nowhere true that although Christ is obliged to depart from the soul that he has been sent, he is still learning love around that heart. His Success (v. 8). Critique, the choice of the sages, perhaps Perhaps Paul's severe action in trygging away from need moved Critique to act. 11) Paul's Visits (v. 10) is coming to Europe very trying.

We have been asked to work with the colored voters to be involved in respect to this proposed bond issue, and some of our people have even asked us if we think the board and superintendent sincere in the published declaration that practically one-eighth of this issue will be employed on schools for colored THE HOUSTON INFORMER SOUTH'S GREATEST RACE NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!" While not evading a direct answer on these and other questions being propounded to us by our people touching upon this $4,000,000 school bond issue, we again reiterate that a representative committee of colored citizens should be appointed to confer with the school board and secure some definite assurances along this line. If, after this conference, this committee feels reasonably assured that the board must do to the right thing by and for the colored schools of the district (provided the issue carries), we think that our people should vote affirmative. If we can get no reasonable assurance from the school board, and it appears that our group will fare like it has out of similar bond issues in the past, then our people should organize their forces and work for the defeat of the proposition. Unless we manifest some interest in this matter and seek to get some real consideration from the board, doing the board work will not be worth it. The board should posed to us out to the issue carries at the polls and the bonds are floated. There is nothing unfair, unreasonable, radical or "upish" in pursuing such a course; for experience has taught us or should teach us (if we are susceptible of learning from experience) that the board should not get too much. We can get very little consideration and more often receive nothing. ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHEED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS.

STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION ETC, REQUIRED BY THE AGO, CONGRESS OF AUGUST The Informer made a similar suggestion when the $3,000,000 school bond issue was submitted last year, but our people paid no heed to the suggestion and warning, and thus they were left practically out of the senior-junior high school expansion program, for, as this paper proved in a recent issue, the Jack Yates junior high school in Third Ward is not being erected out of that $3,000,000 (all of it in or more dollars), was spent on white school buildings, but it was not being invaded in the administration and maintenance of the local schools.

"Forewarned is forewarned," and if the colored citizens of this school district do not act before election day and secure some definite and tangible assurances regarding the board's attitude towards colored schools out of the proposed $40,000,000 bond issue, the board pursues a policy, altogether different from our viewpoint, in expending this huge sum of money. 1.

Governor Whitfield of Mississippi, who denounced the louisy lynchocrats and heathenish and hellish Huns of his state for dismissing Sunday church services to burn a colored man at the stake at New Albany, some few weeks ago, has gotten himself in bad touch with mobsters who are now threatening to "get the American pastime and Southern sport of luxe." MORE ABOUT PRAIRIE VIEW PRINCIPALSHIP. In assuming the attitude that it has in the Prairie View principal, The Informer has not been actuated by any selfish or ulterior motives; but the best interests of the school, race and state ever been uppermost in our editorial position and contentions. One of the ring leaders of the mob is reported as saying to Mississippi's chief executive, "Yes, we lynched Jim Ivy! Here we are." In this connection, since we have been informed that certain factions are suggesting and pushing this man and that man, and, since the board of directors seem bent on appointing Hal Tarver of San Antonio, as the next principal of Fairview State Normal and Industrial College, over the protests of the colored citizens of Texas, save a few who have endorsed the San Antonio politician—it appears to the Informer that all selfish motives should be put aside and that the state should not backers and all efforts be concentrated to the end that no man is unfit to hold this office be elected and elevated by the white board to the principalship of this state school. In response to this insolent and anarchistic query, the governor remains as silent as a clam and all his talk and "bull" about "investigation," and "bringing the guilty culprits to justice" is as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals! Before the Mississippi mobrocats the governor of the state hoists the white feather and literally takes to the tall timbars, and he seems perfectly willing to let the matter drop where it is "at." Practically every time a grave issue arises where it affects our people, as a cause when our cause and add strength to the oppression by bringing it to the attention of the authorities, which taken by and large, can at best only benefit some particular individual or small group, rather than the masses of our peo- Score a double victory for mobocracy and anarchy! As long as mob-law holds undisputed and unchallenged sway in this country, and particularly in this section, where moral cowardice sways men in public life and others who may seek political power, the city is in constant danger: for mobs never stop to reason and highest citizen is in constant danger: for mobs never stop to reason—why they merely act upon the impulse of the moment. According to recent report and rumor, the Alamo City politician, backed by some of the leading white citizens of a state like Texas, has been accused of being a racist and, unless our people subordinate their selfish desires and concentrate their forces for the common good of all, our state school has been accused of being racist. If these howling hoodlums can, with impunity, take a black man from the constituted authorities and burn him at the stake or hang him to a nearby tree, why should we become excited and alarmed when the same mobbors defy the governor of their state to make an investigation or endearment to bring about the arrest and conviction of a single member of their select circle? Every man should be ambitions, we admit, but every man who is ambitious is not qualified, fitted, nor prepared to creditably fill them. Mob-victim, like disease, can not be confined to any one particular channel, and, if this American criminal malady continues to spread, it will be difficult to prevent it. We urge us to see Judge Lynch's devotees and adherents invade the governor's mansion and treat the chief magistrate of some state to a dose of the famous American concoction, merely because he dared to kill a man. We urge the governor to proper respect for constituted authority and our legal tribunals. The Informer has no fight to make on any aspirant or candidate as such; but this paper knows that few, if any, of the many aspirants and candidates are fitted and qualified for the position; and this paper suggests that the board make no hasty or premature decision in this matter. The board is aware of irrelevant error and irreparable wrong if it intends and persists in appointing the West Texas race politician as head of Prairia View, and no man should try to so dominate the board as to force this man's appointment. If American ideals and institutions are to endure the onslaughts and ravages of internal and external forces, the first monster that must be overcome is disrespect for law and constituted authority, which breeds mob-law and anarchy. It has been currently rumored throughout Texas that a certain white politician has stated that this San Antonian will get the principalship of Prairie View even if it means the "closing of this d—— nigger school." The old ship of state is drifting upon dangerous soals when mobrocats stage their lynching orgies and then hurl defiance in the face of the governor of the state, defying and challenging him to "come on and try to convict one of us!" Well, this white politician and his cohorts will do well to pay some attention to these protests from the colored citizens of Texas, for if he insists upon his man becoming the head of Prairie View, he will be able to keep the school open and protect the politician-principal's life. The law of retribution is cosmic, inocerable and unyielding, and the nation or nation that sows to the winds must ultimately reap the whiteness. Prairie View College belongs to all the colored people of Texas and the fact that it is supported and maintained by the state government does not warrant nor justify the placing at the head of the list of the most important colleges for whom they have only the utmost disrespect and contumely.

V. SITUATION Dallas, Texas, Oct. 3, 1925. Professor H. B. Pemberton, President Colored Teachers' State Association of Texas. 110 Wiley Avenue, Marshall, Texas. Dear Professor Pemberton: The Colored Teachers' State Association of Texas must meet the criteria for the need of immediate action in the information on influence on NEG education in this state. If we fail in this most timely effort, we risk the association as unworthy of the faith and support that we claim it. In order to hasten definite action, the association must commit a committee of three be named (a) to the utilization of helpful assistance among the alumni, patrons and friends of the institute, (b) to give the board of trustees matters as the selection of a high school, (c) to give the school, and teachers with qualifications adequate for membership on the institute, (d) to adopt a salary scale commensurate with the education of the institution from the clutches of political influence and be ABOUT THE PRINCIPALSHIP OF PRAIRIE VIEW STATE NORMAL The People's Mountaineer, Austin: We note that Dr. Ostrate, former principal of Prattville State University, Prof. Bledsoe, who has been connected years, has been placed temporarily in the principal and both the other are among the leading educators of our people generally throughout Texas would be very much pleased to have a gentleman or other man of the institution be the head of this institution which is not to remain as head of the situation and that another man now is likely considered by the board for this very important post. After reading the letter in which Mr. Bledsoe in the Houston Informer has parered in The Houston Informer has addressed the "AMEN" to all Editor Richardson had to. In the gentlemen we have in mind is the same one to whom Editor Richardson refers in his editorial, we have been asking for aligning yourself with Editor Richardson to have no personal feelings that actuate us whatever, but we take this position for We cannot afford to sit supinely and allow the Priory View State Normal University, the present student body, to view alumni, the other bishop, throughout Texas to attend a appointment of any man as head of this institution that we know does not have a bishop or a priest—morally and otherwise.

Dear Sir: I was greatly humbled by your gem of wisdom and your formal on the Principiability of Prairie New College. Your general viewpoint is clear, and your frank and timely state ment of it will bear much fruit. I am a candidate for the principiability of Prairie View; but I share your at- tention to the experience through the agency of the Colored Tennessee State Association of Texas those whom it has the privilege of What is the Peabody Fund. The Punabay Fund was established in 1887, by George B. Punabay, a man of the South, to be devoted to education in the South. The primary aim of the Punabay Fund is the ment of public school systems for the free education of children.

We were were told, we would more often hear the decedent characterised as a saddl- h, honorising, self-advancing hypo- nology. Few men in the public eye today have the courage to speak out against heart, but on the contrary every man of them is working night and day, and every hour in the day, for his cause. He raises his point and raises himself in the estimation of the people, the good of the nation, for his care. "Let me get mine!" is his motto, and the race is still going on. He is a selfless leader, who believes that "He can save his own life shall it come." A friend is not one who touches us jolls-uns or flatters us, but one who tells us of our faults and helps us to remedy them. Of all the good qualities possessed by the Negro, we know of those that tendency to be happy under any and all circumstances. No race on earth has such tendency in whatsoever state they are found, like the Negro. Who over heard of the Negro oppression? The Mexican is known to be silent, sour and even vindictive; foreigners from European countries are forever being watched to the government under whose farsen they seek protection, but the Negro—who is always under the sun—finds amusement under the sheer serious situations. Their lage allows only occasion for tease of sorrow and despair; their song goes out when the hardest. How can a race like the Negro laugh equally as lonely and frightened against him as when the sky is the brightest and the birds sing the A local afternoon paper, in an issue of last week, went the writer of this column "a better" in discussing the flappers "and jellybabs of their race The occasion which prompted the writer in this daily to discuss the issues of Max Fink, the orchestra leader, last week.
