Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.15, SEPARATE OR MIXED SCHOOLS. (By The Associated Negro Press.) I notice that the "Messenger" is very much excited over my alleged attitude on mixed schools or separate schools in the North. The last issue of this interesting magazine contained as its feature article "KELLY MILLER'S MISTAKE." It is announced that the discuss'on will be continued in the next issue. The infallible editors of the "Messenger" are famous for seizing upon the mistakes made by others. Their own mistakes, if they have any, so far, have not been so widely exploited. I was surprised to note that the co-editor was wanting in his usual scholarly research and accuracy. He derived his information through the refracting medium of a Chicago weekly, instead of from the original source, which was easily available to him. Last October I contributed to the Educational Review an article on "The Education of the Negro in the North," which it seems, has just come to the belated attention of the "Messenger" by a devious and round about route. In this articleae I did not advocate seperate schools but merely raised the question of the reative inspirational appeal of the two modes of tuition. I have given long study and wide observation to this question, and am still devoting careful thought to it. But I have never at any time or place, by utterance or inference, expressed belief in the principle of separate schools, in the North or in the South. Neither Christianity nor democracy can contemplate the separation. The school is much more ethical than the Church and much more democratic than the State. When our oldest University suggests discrimination against students on account of race, a hue and cry is raised from all over the nation. But both church and state make race distinctions with impunity. The school is the one place which should be kept free from all forms of prejudice. It is useless for the learned editor of the "Messenger" to display his erudition in two labored essays to convict me of a sentiment which I never held. I do not believe in separate schools, separate churches or separate cars. I may be forced to receive them, but I never willingly accept them. I always protest in thought even when from prudence I acquiesce in action. But as I have studied Negro education in the South in the North, and have watched the workers of the two types of instruction, the comparative effect upon Negro child inevitably forced itself up my attention. I might stop here to say, in passing, that so far as the Negro is concerned, public schools in the proper sense of the term do not exist any where in the United States. MIXED SCHOOLS TOLERANT The so-called mixed schools are white schools which the Negro pupil is permitted to attend as a tolerated recipient, but the Negro is not a coequal factor, or even a proportional factor in contributing to or deriving from the system the desired influence and power. In a great city like Pittsburg where the managers and teachers are all white, and more or less actuated with the hauteur of racial attitude, the Negro pupil cannot feel that he is receiving the full force and inspiration of public instruction with free and untrampelled spirit. Even in places where colored teachers are employed they are almost always young women in the lower grades who impress no directive influence and are confined to the narrow line of specified instruction. The whole race was delighted to see Miss Maria Boldwin of Cambridge function efficiently and influentially as an eighth grade principal in this famous college town. But she represents both a salutory and solitary exception which the most sanguine scarcely hopes to see duplicated in his day, The Negro pupil in the North has not in the past and is not now deriving from the public schools the full benefit which they should impart. There are one and half million New Day For An Old School. (By The Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Aug. 4-The onward march of colored residents taking over the lower south side of Chicago is exemplified by plans made by the Baptists, in which the Method at may join, for establishing a training school, for colored Christian workers in the building now occupied by the Baptist Missionary Training School, 2669 Vernon Avenue. The Baptist Missionary Training school is the oldest institution of its kind in Chicago and is said to be the oldest established in America. It dates to 1881. TheMethodist Training School is at 4949 Indiana Avenue. The sale of the Baptist property will not affect the Methodist property, but the Methodists have been Invited to cooperate in establishing the school for the colored people. They Found Him Out. (By The Associated Negro Press.) JACKSON, MISS., Aug. 4—In answer to a query relatives to what he thinks of former Senator James K. Vardaman, who is a candidate for United States Senator, Dr. James F. McCaleb, of Carlis e, Claiborne county, recently received the following letter from former President Woodrow Wilson: "I think that he is thorough'y fa'se not in a position to review Mr. Vardaman's record in Washington in detail, but I can sum up my impression of him in a single sentence: "I think that he is htorough y false and untrustworthy, and that it would be a great detriment to Mississippi and the nation if he should be returned to the senate." Sincere'y yours, "Woodrow Wilson". Negroes in the North whose children are in touch with the best school facilities and advantages which our civilization affords. Who is bored enough to say that they impart to the Negro child all than can be desired. PRACTICAL COMPARISON Let us throw into comparison the schools of Washington under Negro supervision and those of Northern cities where the Negro has no directive say. Washington is surpassed in Negro population by New York and Philadelphia, and equalled by that of Chicago. And yet the national capita, has more Negro pupils on the secondary level of instruction than these three cities combined. The inspirational effect of a system can be fairly guaged by the number of pupils stimulated to pursue higher courses of study. I venture the statement that Washington schools have sent more colored students to Harvard than Boston, more to Columbia than New York City, more to the University of Pennsylvania than Philadelphia, and more to the University of Chicago than Chicago. There are three colored female doctors of philosophy, all of whom are products of the Washington public schools. When we consider that a large numbers of the high school graduates erch year enter the Normal School $t_0$ prepare for teaching, while scores of them enter Howard University, the significance of the system begins to dawn upon us. The Washington colored schools have been the greatest intellectual stimulus in the life of the race so far as public instruction is concerned. What I have said of Washington is true in a degree of Baltimore, St. Louis, Louisville, Kansas City, and other cities where coor'd youth is being brought under the inspiration of Negro tuition. I do not know of a single city with instruction of Negro youth is producing like stimulative effect. Separate school's have disadvantages which can be easily pointed out. But does not the Negro contingent in so-called public schools also labor under serious handicap. He that hath eyes to see let him see. SPEAKERS' INFORMATION. BY WM. PICKENS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been in existence for th'rteen years (1822). It therefore, has a longer record than any other organization that has grown out of the Negro's own effort to better his condition. It represents the highest attainment of the American Negro as a group in the matter of social self-help. The organization works for the absolute equality of colored people as American citizens. For such a fight a people themselves pay, and they do pay into this organization more than n'nety cents out of every dollar that is spent in their fight for freedom. This Association was the chief weapon used by colored people in destroying the "grandfather clauses" of the disfranchising states and the residence segregation ordinances of all the states. Before the battle against regregation was fought out, there were squares and whole sections of the great cities where colored people were not allowed by law to live, and there were colored churches that had to shut up their front doors and use a side door because the front door opened on a "white" street. While the Negro, who is the greater along the color line, dominates this organization, it is atil and must continue to be a co-operative effort of white and colored people, for the plain reason that no orgnization can solve a "race" problem without the co-operation of the best elements of whatever races make the problem, and one race does not make a "race" problem. The Association has taught the world what American lynching is and had created a national and an international opinion against lynching. And one of the wonders of the decade is the economy with which this great fight has been conducted. In waging was on this greatest barbari for more than ten years (1922) the Association spent much less than forty thousand dollars on meetings dangerous lynching investigations, publications, and research into all recorded lynchings, court and legislative battle, against lynchers and lynching evils. Almost any other great people in the world, who were being burned alive would have spent not forty thousands, but perhaps forty millions of doleers in the same space of time. This Association is the one organization that was absolutely necessary in getting Congress to consider antilynching legislation. The enemies of the Association gave the organization this credit. The Association has investigated all the great riots and massacres of colored people and made the general public understand that the chief causes of them were not "Negro crime." It has defended the right of colored men who run away from lynching to the North or to Canada, to stay where they run to and not to be carried back to the lynchers by officers of the law. The Association is the only Negro organization maintaining a great staff of officers and a large force of clerks and stenographers to work for equal rights and opportunities for American Negroes. The National Officers work every day in the year. It has defended lodge people' church people, and people of all other organizations, and those in states and communities where colored folk are not allowed to organize. It is an organization for all colored people and for all people who believe in equal right for colored people. It has developed one of the best magazines of the country, THE CRISIS. It accounts are regularly examined by public auditors and the reports of its activities printed and issued to the public. Its legality and credit could not be shaken even by the spies in the Great War. It is the best organization through which all other organizations that want to help the American Negro to gather freedom, can spend their donations. Church conferences, lodge AFRICAN LAD CAPTURED BY WHITE MISSION'ES Now Is Minister Of Gospel of Christ. Rev. Conddelee, Educated in America, Is Ready to Return to His Native Country as Missionary. Thirteen years ago the Rev. Prince Asnabala Condelee was a heathen in darkest Africa. Now he has completed his college course and is a thoroly educated man. He is spending a few days in Topeka speaking at various churches and meetings. He tells of conditions in Africa. The Rev. Mr. Conddeee does not know his exact age, as accuarte records were not kept by his tribe. He was captured by the missionaries when he was about 12 years old, he believes, so he is now about 25 years old. Story of His Life. He tells his experiences in his own words. He speaks plainly and uses perfect English. "One day", he said, "I wandered away from my vil age into the woods. I must have gone two or three miles into the deep forest. Suddenly I found myself surrounded. "I struggled to get away, but could not. A hand was placed over my mouth. I then was gagged and carried away. My captives were white missionaries. They waited to take me and teach me the ways of civilization and the gospel. Carried Away From Home. "I was carried hundreds of miles. They took me to a great ship and sent me to England. I remained in London some time and then was sent to the United States. "At Nashville, Tenn., I was put in a school. I have completed my school and am ready to go back to my tribe to be a teacher for them. "Iy father was the ruler of my tribe. I estimate the number of members in it at 30,000. But there is a continual change. I do not know how large the tribe is. I have had no message from it since I left. "I would do no good to mail a letter. The tribesmen can not read, and there is not a postoffice within 1,000 miles. "I hope my parents are living, but I do not know. They think me dead. They know nothing of this outside world. They either think me killed by a hostile tribe, or devoured by wild beasts. "I imagine they have almost forgotten me. It will be wonderful to go back to my tribe, and see my parents, if they are still living. I am going back within a short time." "I remember some of the things that happened before I was captured. I remember a battle my tribe had with an opposing tribe. The battle lasted three hours. Scores were killed. The deal were placed on platforms in the air. "They were fastened to the platform with vines. My tribe won, so after the battle a great feast was held." Great Session And New President. (By The Associated Negro Press) COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. 4—Clarence Cameron White, of Boston, and a member of the faculty of the Chicago Universityof Music, has been elected President of the National Negro Musicians' Association, which had its most successful session here. The next convention will be held in Chicago, where it is contemplated several thousands musical people will assemble. Mr. Whte contemplates spending most of his time in Chicago. gatherings and other periodic meetings, especially of colored Americans, make donations to the organizations that it might do the work and fight which other organizations have not the opportunity to do or fight. ST. LOUIS, MO, Aug. 4—The Car Cleaners and Trackmen employed by the Terminal Railroad Association and a number of roads have gone on a strike under orders of their national officers violating an agreement to give the roads a thirty days' notice by giving only ten. A great number of colored men belong to these unions many of the cleaners rectiving from $103 to $103 per month for unskilled labor. It is understood the strike is of a sympathetic nature along with some of the other railroad men and sewer hundred men are affected. The roads have been rapidly replacing these men and one Negro labor agent is known to have sent a number of men on the job. Expression secured at random from colored people do not show a tendency to take the sides of the men who struck, the opinion being general they erred in leaving well, paying positions out of sympathy for afflictions whose loyalty to them is not entirely trustworthy especially if coditions were reversed and colored strikers sought the co-operation of white labor organizations. A few of the older heads remained at work. Several cases of violence have been reported involving attacks of colored strikers on colored strike breakers. S W. Y. MORGAN, NOMINATED GOVERNOR. JOHN B.

IN GEORGIA AND IN JERSEY. BY WILLIAM PICKENS. (For The Associated Negro Press) A fifteen year old boy was accused of raping a grown woman, old enough, perhaps to be his mother's mother, in Georgia. A fifteen year old boy was assuessed of raping and murdering an eleven year old girl in New Jersey. Perhaps, neither of those boys was guilty of anything. At least neither of them has ever been proven guilty of anything. But it can be seen at a glance which boy was accused of the greater crime. The difference in treatment accorded these two boys is difference in civilization and human culture of the people by whom they were treated. The little Georgia boy, charged with sex attack upon a grown woman, was slowy roasted to death by a mob. The little Jersey boy, charged with sex attacks and murder of a little child, was acquitted by a court of justice. Both boys maintained their complete innocence. The little Georgia boy, however, was chained to a log and tod that if he did not confess, he would be burned alive! Of course, the thing to do, under that condition, would be to confess. But the boy had better sense. He knew the mob was lying and that they met to burn him by all means and simply wanted a "confession" to justify their savagery as much as possible. He refused to "confess." They burned him until his shin bones were bursting out of the cooked flesh. In great torture the child of fifteen then took them at their word and "confessed" in an effort to stop this hellish pain—as a child of fifty might have done. But after he said what they wanted him to say, they then roasted him more slowly and had a fiendish good time cooking the life out of this helpless child. In New Jersey the other boy was given his day in court, was thoroughly "grilled," was not proven guilty, and was therefore, presumed to be innocent and was released. What matters it that one of these boys was black and the other white? And you know which was which. And yet the present governor of Georgia got "insulted" because some one accused his state of being especially criminal.

A Million Dollars are to be given away James Weldon Johnson, of this city, is one of those chosen to help with the job. Charles Garland's famous $1,000,000 fortune is to endow "unfavorable causes," according to announcepent by Walter Nelles, an attorney representing the American Fund for Public Service, just incorporated in Dea.ware. According to its incorporators, the new organization "is analagous to various communitl trusts now in successful operation in a numebr of the larger cities." They explained, however, that the American Fund for Public Service was designed to establish a fund controlled by persons who will not be conventional in their conception of public service and who will give preference to new and experimental agencies." The Incorporators were announced as Norman M. Thomas and Lewis Gennett of this city, associate editors of the Nation; Prof Robert Morss Lovett of the University of Chicago, and Roger N. Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties union. J. W. Johnson, a Director. Directors of the fund were announced as follows: Prof. Harry F. Ward of Union Theological Seminary, James Weldon Johnson of the Nation Association for the Advancement of Co-ored People, Rabbi Judah L. Magnes, Scott Neariny, William Z Foster, secretary of the Trade Union Educational League of Chicago; Miss Mary E. McDowell of the University of Chicago settlement, and the incorporators. In 1919 Garland achieved wide notice when he refused to accept $10 000,000 as his share in the estate of his father, James A. Garland of Boston, decaring he would not accept money he had not earned. Some time later he explained that he had changed his mind and would accept the legacy because he wished to settle $100-000 on his wife and dispose of the remainder as he saw fit. More notoriety came to him a year ago when he introduced Miss Lillian Conrad, a Boston student, into his home near North Carver, Mass., whereupon his wife took their daughter and went to live with her family in Boston. Miss Conrad later returned to her home and last April Garland and wife were reported reunited after the birth of a son but it is now said that their reconciliation did not last. No Endowment. It is said at the American Civil Liberties union that it is the present intention to dispose entirely of the prospective fund by giving it to the causes which the directors favor, and that they are opposed to establishing a permanent endowment. Establishment of the American Fund for Public Service was announced as being "the establishment of a national fund to promote experimental agencies for public welfare." Many To Witness The Pageant. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL. July 31—Thousands of visitors will visit Chicago for the next two weeks, attending the Pageant of Progress Exposition, on the famous Municipal Pier.

LONG, BROKER, 1241 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kan. Masons Will Go To Washington. (For The Associated Negro Press) By J. A. Jackson. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31. Washington is to be the host of the greatest gathering of Masonic bodies ever held in this country, August 1th to 12th. These include the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, North and South America, in 23rd annual session; International Conference of Grand Masters, International Conference of the Knights of Templars, Grand Court, Daughters of Isis, Grand Guild of the Heroines; Grand High Briests Council Supreme Council, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star. The activities open Sunday August 6, with Memorial Services at John Wesley Memorial A. M. E. Z. Church, and conclude Saturday by attendance of all bodies at the dedication of the Frederick Douglass home as a shrine for all time for Colored Americans. Miss Cleo Dickerson Won Contest. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Auu. 4—Miss Cleo Dickerson, organist of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and one of the popular social figures of Chicago, won the popularity contest in the Second Ward vote for Pageant Queen for the great international Pageant of Progress, now going on at the Municipal Pier. Mayor William Hale Thompson crowned the Queen in the presence of a great throng of 6,000 people at the Eighth Regiment Armory. Prior to the coronation, a mammoth street parade was given, the procession passing through the principal streets of the South side, lead by a platoon of mounted police and Mayor Thompson. The event was under the direction of the Chicago Business League, of which F. L. Gillespie is President. Miss Dickerson partied in the general parade held the opening day of the Pageant, and made a fine appearance with her ladies in waiting. The Nation's Capitol Is Getting Ready. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4- The nations capital is beginning to take on a holiday appearance preparatory to the coming of the Masonic lodges, and the dedication of the Fredrick Dougass home in Anacostla, Saturday, August 12th. Masonic bodies will begin to arrive Sunday, August 12th, and will tax the capacity of Washington hospitality, but the good folks say they will be amply able to take care of all who come, and will not overcharge. The Frederick Douglass dedication will bring thousands to the city. Practically all of the delegates and visitors to the convention at Richmond will come to Washington. There will be hundreds who plan to attend the Business League Convention in Norfolk the next week, who will be in Washington next week. The National Medical Association will meet in Washington during the week of August 22d. The doctors expect the largest attendance in the history of the association. Hundreds of physicians will motor to the gathering. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 4- Friends of Bernese Hackney, 10, are trying to find a name to describe her. Some insist she's the first and only real "liquid soprano." Others say that as "diva" describes an operatic celebrity, "divar" might properly be corned to fit MissHackney's peculiar gift. For to date no word has been invented to label one who can sing under water. And that, Bernese is able to do. "I first learned of my ability a month ago," she says. "I was making a back dive, but hit the water a 'whopper' on my side. I had made such an awkward dive that I laughed under water—and heard myself. "I began practicing. Now I can sing a whole stanza under water loud enough for those outside to hear. I open my mouth just as in natural singing, but no water seems to get in." Bernese is dark-skinned slender girl of distinctly creo.e cast. Whle she does not attach any special value to her ability as a genuine "liquid soprano." she says she's going to keep up practice in underwater vocalization. Maybe, somewhere, a demand for aquatic songbirds will arise, she thinks. "Mr. Editor," wr'tes Miss Hackney, "please correct statement. I am a student of Dunbar, not of Central High School." Wealthy Girl Loses Father. (By The Associated Negro Press.) KANSAS CITY, MO., Aug. 4— Joseph Rector, the father of Miss Sarah Rector, the wealthy colored girl, residing here, and owning oil lards in Oklahoma, who died near Dallas, Texas, was taken ill on the train, and removed to the Baptist Hospital in Dallas. There he recovered sufficiently to give directions and then passed away. Mr. Rector died from an attach which came as the result of the nervous disorder with which he has long been afflicted. The funeral took place in Oklahoma, Wednesday with all the family present. The mother and five children went from here Wednesday. The very fantastic story concerning the death and its cause is scouted by those who know. The trip which Mr. Rector was on had been through the western part of this country. Lower California, the City of Mexico, and he had come as far north as Dallas on his way home, with all conditions satisfactory. He had been a bondsman for Manuel, whose spectacular release from the Missouri Penentiary was one of the big events of the recent weeks, but he was not heartbroken over anything as alleged. White Banks Came To Rescue Of Negro Bank. (By The Associated Negro Press.) RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 4-The Mechanics Savings Bank, JohnMitchell, Jr. president, which was closed will reopen for business in a few days, according to information given The Associated Negro Press. The white banks of Richmond, as a group, agree through the clearing house association to put up any amount needed to reopen the bank, up to to the amount of $100,000, provided the necessary security was offered. President Mitchell and his associates have assured them that the security is available. Mr. Mitchell, it is stated, will take personal charge of the bank when it is reopened, devoting full time to its management. Not on'y the white banks and financial interests of the city have come to the assistance of the Bank, but colored banks, business men and public generally have no untreated their aid in any way it should be needed. The Mechanics Savings Bank, according to President Mitchell, has amply assets to discharge all of the bank's obligations. There is no evidence or indication of anything irregular in the management of the bank's affairs. The fact that the bank held real estate contrary to the rules of the department resulted in a recent order requiring an adjustment of this condition, to meet which the bank's real estate was conveyed to the Bonded Realty Co., whose officers are also officers of the bank, and mortgage notes taken by the bank for the same. There were 83,000 of these notes, which appeared to the department not to be secured by real estate assets. Before Mr. Mitchell could reach a satisfactory understanding with the department as to the status of these notes the order to close was issued. Much Honor To A Noble Life.
