THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 16, No. 47, MUNICIPAL UNIVERSITY FOR WICHITA BY BLISS ISELY, 1617 Vassar Ave. Wichita, Kans. Among leaders of thought in both Races, the most interesting topics of discussion at the present time, is the project of a municipal university for Wichita, which has been brought before the people thru the offer of the properties of Fairmount College, and thru a bill in the legislature permitting the people of Wichita to acquire those properties for a municipal university, if they so desire. The college, which has always been one of the leading institutions of higher learning in the state, has properties valued a $650,000. These have all been offered to the city of Wichita, with no conditions attached except that they shall be used to maintain a municipal university. The Fairmount trustees were moved to offer to make the offer because they realized that the demands for college training had far out-grown their ability to give such training. The establishment of a municipal university in Wichita would be of incalculable benefit for the youth of the city. It would mean that a collegiate institution ranking equal to the state university and normal schools, will be right here for the use of students of all races and all classes. At the present time hundreds of Wichita youths are denied a college course yearly because they are unable to go outside of the city for it, while the local colleges are unable to accommodate all those who wish the higher trainig. The municipal university idea has been discussed and endorsed by all the civic clubs, by the Trades and Labor Assembly, Chamber of Commerce, American Legion and several other important organizations. It is proposed to bring the adoption of the idea to a vote of the people at the election on April 7. Emporia News. Sunday School was opened at 9:45.

COMMITS SUICIDE At about 9.00 a. m., Mr. Charles (Rabbit) Lindley 1338 North Washington, proved to the world that life is not worth living, to those, who have not hope, by taking his life with a revolver, shooting himself through the heart while in bed Thursday morning. He had been arrested for selling whisky and thought more about his punishment than of protecting his mother, wife and four children. The children are talented. The Bible way is the best way; it makes you live for others and battle to overcome every obstacle of life. The Star is in sympathy with the family. The Citizen Mortuary has the body in charge. THE PAGEANT WILL BE A SUCCESS THE PAGEANT WILL BE A SUCCESS The Negroes of Wichita are proving by the way they are sticking together in the Pageant that they can organize for one Common Good and put over a worth while program. You can't aford to be absent and not give full endorsement to such a wonderful play, consisting of about 500 characters on March 5, 1925. This play is destined to demonstrate in the most vivid manner the rise of the Negro in spite of all obstacles from Africa through American slavery and prove to the new generation that the Negro is an asset rather than a liability to this American Government. Miss Crogman must be congratulated for holding together and directing such a large group with such a little friction and the enthusiasm kept up during the training promises that Wichita, will get one of the best treats in the history of the city. Get you ticket now, because they are going rapidly. Parsons News. Items MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. E. S. Scobey. Pastor Sunday service was very good. Sunday School was at its best.

TOBIAS, Senior Secretary, Colored Men's Department, National Council Y. M. C. A. One out of every nine men in the United States is a colored man. With his destiny the fate of the others is intertwined. All nine rise or fall together. What manner of person is this ninth man? And what is the responsibility of the Y. M. C. A., toward him? He came to this country with the early settlers, and to his labor may be attributed an important share in its development and subsequent growth. He has served his country with ungrudging loyalty at every call to arms. As a citizen, he has made distinguished progress under severe and acknowledged handicaps. Only 62 years removed from slavery, he has reduced his literacy to 22.9 and his mortality from 24.2 in 1910 to 18.4 in 1920. His group has produced more than one composer whose works, judged solely on their merit, have won international recognition: a singer of international fame; a distinguished biologist; a novelist of great power; a scientific agriculturist whose original discoveries have attracted nationwide attention; a leading American critic and anthologist; and one of the world's greatest industrial educators. Next to the church and the school, the Y. M. C. A., has made the largest contribution to the development of the colored man and boy in America. It has ministered to the spiritual life of his rising leadership in 132 schools and colleges and has promoted its program of all-around development in 668 city, railroad and town and country centers. In the migration of colored men from the villages of the South to the crowded areas of large cities, the Y. M. C. A., acts as an interpreter of the new environment and helps him in his social and economic readjustment. Frequently it is the only place where he can get a wholesome meal and a clean bed at reasonable rates. It is usually his main recreation center and often his civic headquarters. The colored man has taken an increasing share of the financial support of Y. M. C. A., work from year to year. The local branches for colored men and boys are more than 90 per cent racially supported and more than one-third of the budget for national work among this group is carried by colored men.

By JEWEL BROWN. Rev. Warder of Topeka, preached a stirring sermon Sunday morning and night. His text was taken from Nehemiah 4:6, "To Build Up God's Kingdom." Rev.

They are the soul-stirring melodies first given to the world by those famous Jubilee Singers sent out by Fisk University in 1871. 2. Those songs were very closely connected with slavery and all that slavery meant. 3. They tell faithfully the Negro's innermost life, both intellectually and spiritually. 4. They are the only true source of Negro history; if any man would read the Negro's life, let him study these songs. 5. They are the only connecting link between the young Negroes and their ancestors. 6. They increase spiritual servor because they were born o adversity and tribulation. 7. If they are sung in the right spirit, a revival is sure to follow. 8. These songs of our fathers should be preserved with their best and truest interpretation. 9.
