NEGRO LEADER WILL ADDRESS WHITE GROUP Marshall, Texas—President M. W. Dewey of Wilcox College, has been invited to deliver an address before an organization of white social workers in Houston, during the spring on "Negelian Democracy." He will endeavor to present the most striking phases of Negro social, economic and cultural affairs and opportunities of other people to determine whether there is in fact a case against the race because of natural and inherent shortcomings. He is making a careful comparative study of the data on various race groups under as nearly similar conditions as can be found for given periods. This will be the first instance of the kind happening in Texas where a woman of color is made a white organization of like character; and should have a wholesome effect in promoting sound race relations.

The facts in the case, as recited in the appeal to the state supreme court, are as follows: NEGRO DIVISION ENDORSES JOHNSON'S ACTIVITIES HERE ON INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE Jim Davis had never before been in trouble of any kind.

The Rev. S. W. Johnson, chairman of the colored division of the Houston Inter-Racial Commission, is doing a commendable work. For more than a century, the commission in the effort to secure justice and fair play in all matters pertaining to the welfare of our community has been the work of our city.

The Informer has been reliably informed that W. L. Davis, "acting" principal of Gregory School—the elementary public school for colored children in the Fourth Ward—had most of his teachers sign a letter prepared by him (Davis), which in actin' the teacher was the master of the school, the master of the Houston public schools, that they were perfectly satisfied and well pleased with the physical-condition of the Gregory campus. It seems that "Little Willis" (who is known far and wide for his athletic skills with in-urban basketball and polio circles, and his athleticism has the unique record being earlier in the camp of Africa) became incarned with the editorial which appeared in The Informer under date of Saturday, January 1, 1927, captioned "Depolarize Condition of Gregory's Campus," and thus he has joined the ranks of the pussillianism, pussy-footing principals who betray and sell their race for a position of principal. He has been incarned in the "plums" of site people's eyes in order to land certain "plums" and be known as rated as "good niggers," who know their place and "stay in proper place." The editor of The Informer is a patron of Gregory School, two students said school said teacher and attained Davis School, the unthinking, spineless teachers that signed Davis' immortal wrist master document have any children attending this school; it thus their interest in the children's physical welfare and well-being can not approach ours, for they are not concerned with doctor bills, shoe bills and other expenses incurred and brought to a deplorable condition as obtains in the yard of Gregory School. The Informer presumes that Davis is merely living up to his well-established reputation for changing positions and getting jobs, as he has taken a firing at numerous posts and jobs since he was a graduate student. He surprises us if "Little Wille" does not soon misinterpret the "G. P. C." ("go pick cotton" or "go plow corn") sign for the "go preach Christ" call! When the late Prof. W. F. Worsham ceased his earthly career, he was fortunate with faithful and well-qualified members of the order, Grand Master W. F. Bledsoe brought Davis from Waller County and appointed him grand secretary of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of Texas. Before the jurisdiction knew that "Little Wille" was trying to fill Gross' shoes, he had been relieved of his post because of his greatly exaggerated egotism and inherent penchant for co-operation with a chameleon and abso-lience to respect his co-operate. Even before he landed his portfolio with the U. B. F. and S. M. T. order, "Little Wille" held several jobs in different sections of the state, and he changed jobs or was fired with such painful regularity that he became known as the "black nomad." After losing his grand secretaryship with the U. B. F. and S. M. T. Davis essayed to manage the Western Star, falling heir to the job through the good graces and kind offer of the late M. M. Rodgers. His tenure of office with the Star was short-lived, and thus "Little Wille" played politics and got back on the payroll. As long as the "Crying Elder," who even yet boasts of his political tenure and sagacity (guess he is trying to work same --- The Houston Informer on business manager, superintendent and Houston school board now), was merely a teacher and not an aspirant for permanent principal of Gregory School, as a race man he was "all wool and cotton," and the political and political team is acting" (that what he is doing is a letter to H. L. Mills and the one to R. B. Morris during 1926) principan now endeavors to prostele his teachers, and employ them as stepping stones in the attainment of his selfish ambitions, and in an insidious and infernal scheme to entrench himself in the good graces of the powers-that-be in public school circles. Such demagoguery is dangerous, and stamps the person who attempts to invoke and employ it as being totally unfit and wholly unworthy for any office or position that carries with it the least bit of responsibility. The Inferner is perfectly willing to submit this matter as a referendum to the colored citizens of Fourth Ward, particularly those who have children attending Gregory School, and let them believe that this paper or "Little Willie" is right in this matter! Furthermore, in stating that the Gregory School campus, with dirt and mud piled all over the yard and the hundreds of small children being forced to crawl over and wade through this dirt and mud five days in the week, is perfectly satisfactory to him, he writes, "The fact that the endorser or approval of the utility; for neither his letter to the business manager nor the sentiment expressed therein, meets the endorsement or approval of the hundreds of patrons of this school, and the children who daily attend Gregory School; and The Informer is of the opinion that those Gregory teachers who signed this "great" document did so either through ignorance or moral cowardice, and thus all the children who attended the school would be culpable as their gray-haired, two-faced, race-betraying, double-dealing, pusillanimous, pussyfooting, political ("acting") principal! Not only does politics make strange bed-fellows and produce some odd and novel combinations, but the desire for office and its by-products often makes men cut some funny and peculiar capers from their wardrobe. The fact that the audience refuses to applaud his stunt, Selah! DOES PREPARATION COUNT FOR ANYTHING? The Informer, having always stood for both a prepared teaching profession and ministry (as these two groups of public servants directly touch and shape more lives than any other calling or calling), heard endorsed the movement inaugurated here duringly, and encouraged the teachers to better prepare themselves, by attending summer schools and doing post-graduate work, to render more efficient and proficient service in their chosen field of human endeavor. Although this innovation in local public school circles worked a hardship upon some of the teachers, placing some of them at a distinct disadvantage when the edict went into effect, and while some of the colored teachers objected rather strenuously at the "big gate," the movement was certainly in harmony with the educational programs, and is calculated to benefit both teachers and pupils. However, The Informer is fearful that the policy of the superintendent and board in promoting certain colored teachers more because of pull than preparation, is going to discourage those teachers from participating in the program efficiently the higher and highest positions in the Houston public schools. When it became certain hot winter that Houston would have two hundred high schools, and that the principal of the Colored High would be transferred to Jack Yates, this paper stated its position regarding the type of man that the board should appoint as principal of the Colored High; and, in assuming this attitude, The Informer meant to cast no reflection upon the local educator who was then being considered and who was finally selected as principal. Furthermore, it is a sad state of affairs when some colored cook, chambermaid, janitor or yardman has more influence in certain local circles and whose word will go farther in landing a position as teacher or principal for some colored aspirant or canteen worker. It is also a matter of substantial members of our race, who know the qualifications of these aspirants and candidates, and who have the proper conception of the type of man or woman who should be employed to teach our children. This paper has no candidate for principiality of the Fifth Ward colored high school, which plans to open January 31, 1927, but this paper is intensely interested in the type and calibre of teachers and principals in charge of the educational training and intellectual development of colored children, both here and elsewhere. This paper has no fight to wage in any of our colored principals, and we hope that none of them will misconstruer and misinterpret this discussion; but we are very much concerned about the preparation and qualifications of those who shall be appointed to OPINIONS IS THE RACE PROBLEM AN ECONOMIC ONE, AND CAN IT BE SOLVED BY ECONOMICS? The fundamentally weak point in the doctrine of socialism is that it overestresses the importance of the economic factor. Let the Negro acquire all the respectable and live decent. Let him accumulate capital and engage in the respectable and live decent. Let him accumulate capital and engage in the respectable and live decent. Let him accumulate capital and engage in the prejudice will permit. But never let him indulge the vain delusion that money will solve the race problem. Men will not胜过 the race problem; but the race problem cannot be solved without money. such positions hereafter; and, where the superintendent and school board ignore and override the will and wishes of our people, it should not be surprising nor alarming when they become putrid and should not be surprised to wrinkles and schemes of the gutter-snip politicians and warheads after landing such sinecure positions. Finally, if scholastic preparation and educational training are to disguise colored teachers when it comes to landing principal positions, it should not be surprising to wrinkles and schemes of the gutter-snip politicians and warheads after landing such sinecure positions. Finally, if scholastic preparation and educational training are to disguise colored teachers when it comes to landing principal positions, it should not be surprising to wrinkles and schemes of the gutter-snip politicians and warheads after landing such sinecure positions.
