THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 43, SOUTHEAKN WHITE EDUCATORS BACKING NEGRO HISTORY WEEK --- One of the most gratifying runs from the efforts of the Association on the Study of Negro Life and History, according to the report recently, made by Carter G. Woodson, is the interest in the movement shown by Southern white men in charge of the departments of Education and colleges. The Southern white press has so given warm-hearted support. him is a new thought in the changing program of a regenerated South. The thinking edement now tells us that you cannot inspire people by holding up before them what others have accomplished while devering at the same time the worth of their particular group. They are now saying that if the Negro is to be insured to keep above vagal tendrils and cilome he must have held in before him daily, those of his own group who have demonstrated the capacity of the race. Translating this new thought into action, these white educators are distributing Negro history week in schools, developing plans for appropriate exercises and actually participating in them. They are directing their attention not only to including each information to Negro education of learning. This is eschatically they are integrating this thought upon the mind of white institutions of learning. This is especially true of teachers colleges, most of the heads of which are now engaging the white teachers of the coach that they are not prepared to function efficiently in their respective communities unless they are informed on the Negro. This new note is sounded in, conti- duct on to the wall of a number of so-called educated but misunder- stood Negroes who actually oppose the teaching of Negro History in the schools. This is especially true to those who have attended the most advanced institutions of the North where, because of an intellectual prejudice, the Negro is mentioned only to be pitied or condemned while the Nordic is daily eulogized because of his superiority as exhibited by such oppressors of the weak as Dismarch and Gladstone. These Negroes, too, have been missed equally as much by the study of such marplots and murders as Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon. Unusual characters of African blood like Antar, Es-Sadi, Puslkin, and Dumas have not crossed their path in their college career. Believing, then, that they belong to an inferior group these Negro intellectuals spend their whole lives complaining about what the Negro cannot do and howling because certain white groups socially exclude them from their circles. White people tell these Negroes that they do not care to associate with them because they do not represent anything, and instead of refuting the charge by actual achievement these unfortunates, trend practically all of their time trying to secure the enactment of laws to make the whites do what laws cannot force them to do without public opinion behind them. This answers the question, then, to why the uneducated Negroes of the country have accomplished so much more than these so-called educated but misinformed ones. The reason is simple. Men like S. W. Putherford and Jesse Birga, who did not attend any school very long never had the opportunity to learn in the higher institutions any such theory as the inferiority of the Negro or the impossibility of his rising to a position of usefulness and recognition in the country. These practical men, therefore, never lost faith in their own proun. They believed in their possibilities and organized them for constructive work while the so-called educated Negroes have been keeping up their howling in a corner. The practical men are developing the race from within and will eventually break down the barriers by actual THE HERALD D SCIENTIST Ye folks of Waltham, sit still, With you, this notice take? A man with scientific still, a tel., to us, will make; Behold his name, 'his written high With ink that he has made; If you couldn't pass a javel by, Fall in the great parade.

Then some have heard of him by name But never have seen his face. When you behold his mortal frame, Make for this men, a place Amid the coneves of your mind, And may I ask you too; Heres hear his every word and find A great surprise for you.

S., defeated Atkinson 21 to 10. With the close guarding of Atkinson and Hill's failure to hit the hoop with his customary accuracy the Buffaloes failed to score as they had on previous occasions. This is the first time in four starts that Coach Douglass' fast breaking five has been held to less than 30 points. With his full strength available, Coach Douglass received Silvey, the veteran guard; but when Smith was unable to stop the rushes of Taylor and Jakes, Silvey was sent in to fill the gap and K. V. S.' defense was strengthened. The score was tied at the first quarter two all. Taylor got loose and soon had the count 6-2 before Hill began to find the hoop. But the K. V. S. forward soon pulled his team into the lead and the count stood 9-6 at the half. The capitol city quintet was never headed afterwards. The floor game of Carter coupled with the defense work of the team, and Hill's shooting were outstanding throughout the contest. Hill was high point man with 17 points. Tyler led for the visitors with 6. Jakes, the rany clever center for the Kittens, worked like a basketball machine, playing under the basket on both offense and defense he was easily the center of attack. The speed of the contest farped him before the half; but his clever handling of the ball always kept his team within striking distance until the Buffaloos got hot in the fourth quarter and Hill. Todd and Cleveland doubled the score. Atkinson G. Γ. T. P. T. P. Γ.—Taylor 2 2 1 0 Γ.—Philling' 0 0 1 0 Γ.—Jones 0 0 0 0 G.—Jakes 2 0 1 4 G.—Redl 0 0 0 0 G.—Doyle 0 0 0 0 G.

RACE RELATIONS GROUP CITES TEN YEAR GAINS EIGHTY-EIGHT PERCENT LYNCHING DECRDASE HEADS LIST—EDUCATIONAL AND LIST-EDUCATIONAL AND OTHER ADVANTAGES FOLLOW ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 30—A decrease during the past ten years of eighty-eight per cent in the annual launching accord is cited as obvious evidence of improving interracial conditions in the South, in a statement just made public by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation on the completion of its first ten years of work. The steady decline in the number of lynchings, from 83 in 1910 to eleven in 1928 and ten in the year just ended, the commission considers a significant and encouraging index of changing public sentiment. Another evidence of progress which the Commission counts equally important, though less spectacular, has been the rapid increase of educational facilities for Negroes during the last decade. This has taken the form of larger public appropriations, longer school terms, better prepared and better paid teachers, construction of thousands of modern schoolhouses, multiplication of high schools, and more liberal support of normal and collegiate institutions. This has come about, the Commission believes, not only as a result of the South's increasing prosperity, but even more because of a growing public confidence that education for the Negroes makes for efficiency and citizenship, just as in the case of white people. Other important gains of the decade cited in the statement are decided improvement in Negro health and a longer life span; the better support of Negro welfare agencies thus public appropriations and community budgets; the enlistment of the important religious groups, particularly the organized church women, in programs of interracial study and letterment; the introduction of the study of race relations into hundreds of colleges and high schools; the publication of many excellent books and magazine articles by and about Negroes; the mobilization of several thousand men and women in interracial committees which are working for a larger measure of justice and opportunity for the South's Negro population. The statement accords to the newspapers of the South a large measure of credit for these gains. The Commission on Interracial Cooperation, composed of a hundred Southern men and women, was organized in Atlanta just after the World War in the effort to obviate the danger of wide-spread race conflict which was so acute at that time. To this end it set up eight hundred interracial committees across the South, through which misunderstandings were cleared up and confidence was restored. These committees then entered upon the effort to discover and remedy conditions of neglect and injustice affecting Negroes, and have achieved results that have attracted favorable attention throughout America and abroad, leading to the organization of similar committees in many other sections of the country and in South Africa. The Commission is an incorporated body with headquarters in Atlanta and its officers are: President, W. C. Jackson of Greensboro. Vice Presidents, R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, and R. H. King of Atlanta; Treasurer, J. S. Kennedy of Atlanta; Executive Director, Will W. Alexander.

As to Giving (vv 1-1) Alms were not to be given before men to be seen of them. Doing alms before men is not condemned as it would contradict Matthew 5:10 but the doing of them before men to be seen of them. To seek publicity in doing our alms is to miss the reward of our heavenly Father. The true child of the kingdom will seek privacy in doing righteousness, that he may have the open reward of the Father. This consists in (1) Praying to be seen and heard of man (v. 3) Many of the prayers uttered in public are false, for there is more thought of what the people think than of what God thinks. (2) Using vain repetitions (v. 7). This does not mean that we should ask but once for a given thing. We have examples of Christ and Paul praying three times for the same thing (Matt 26.39-40; II Cor 12.7, 8). It means the using of meaningless repetitions. The reason is "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask Him." 2 True prayer (v. 6) Since prayer is a transaction of the soul with God, there should be a real desire for fellowship with Him which moves one to meet Him in the secret place. 3 The model prayer (vv. 917). This involves (1) Right relationship—"Our Father" (v. 0) (2) Right attitude—"Hallowed be thy name" (vv. 9, 10). (3) Right spirit—"Give us our daily bread, forgive us our sins, lead us not into temptation" (vv. 1112). II. As to Fasting (vv. 1018). The true reason for fasting is to be found in the opportunity it gives for a clear vision of God. Those who have thus seen God will make it manifest in a joyful countenance. IV. As to Earthly Riches (vv. 1924). The Lord knew the temptations which would hefall His children in their earthly pilgrimage and the anxiety to which it would lead, therefore He set forth the proper attitude toward them. 1. The nature of earthly riches (vv. 19, 21). (1) Uncertain (vv. 19, 20). Earthly treasures corrode, or are taken from us, therefore we should lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven where they are absolutely safe from corruption and from thieves. (2) Seductive (v. 21). Christ called riches deceitful (Matt. 13:22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, but when earthly treasures possess us, they have come a snare unto us. Excessive attention should not be given to earthly treasures. 2. The effect of earthly riches (vv. 22 24). (1) Blunt the moral and spiritual perceptions (vv. 22, 23). Those who become enmored of the things of this world soon become irresponsive to spiritual things. When the heart is upon earthly treasures, it is taken from God. The double eye is disastrous to spirituality. (2) They render null and void all service (vv. 24). As soon as one heart is stolen by riches, he is rendered unfit for spiritual service. V. As to Faith in the Heavenly Father (vv. 25 34). 1. He not anxious about food and clothing (vv. 25 34). Because (1) It shows distrust of God (v. 20). God is able to supply Ills children's needs. (2) It is use less (v. 31). Anxiety can bring nothing. While bringing us nothing, it weakens our service. (3) It is heathenish (v. 32). Those who have not learned to trust God may worry over temporal affairs, but those who know Him as a loving Father, will be free from care. 2. Be anxious to seek the kingdom of God and serve Him (v. 33, 31) This means that worldly affairs should be subordinated to spiritual affairs. Seed Thoughts How often do we sigh for oppor tuities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of Providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most important usefulness — Crabbe. Anywhere The grace of God can make believers live the Christian life anywhere; and if they cannot be Christians everywhere, they cannot be anywhere. Prophetic News. B. Y. P. U. LESSON SUNDAY 11th. 2. 1530 Subj. "How May young People Crasse with Christ?" xxl. Rom. 12:1-9. Young people may crusade with Christ by becoming one with Israel. They must have His mind and partake of His nature before they can go on an expedition with Him. Christ is the Great Captain and He is contending for the heart of society. The challenge to the youth is to join Him in the contest. All the needs of the volunteer are supplied by the Captain of the host. He gives grace to save us, faith to bind us and His presence to accompany us. The crusader must give his body, not to burn but to save, and it must be holy. These bodies are not to be made in the world's mold but by the divine pattern. We are not to be blind to our faults but measure our life by the child's pattern. Each Christian, as a member of His Body, has a function all his own. However, we are so related that the correct function of one is essential to the proper functioning of the other. Whatever member we may be, the hard or foot, let us serve for the common good. Love sincerely, fight sin terorily and embrace the right determinately. THOUGHTS Christ's crusaders never lose the game. The young people who crusade with Him are ruled by love. Christian crusaders are always on duty. If you would be a crusader for Christ, you must enlist for life not years. OTTAWA IDEAS Bethary S.

These have been years of phenomi- nal progress by him in varlous di- rections. It has been said freely that no other race has made such progress in such short time. This fact pays worthy tribute to his abil- ity and energy. It also speaks In convincing phrase of the kindly in- terest, the fairness,even the mag- nanimity of his white neighbor. Not yet, however, have we reach- ed perfection, Inevitably has our attitude been colored by the former relations in which we stood to each other, This still is true. But the time has come when we must look upon the Negro as a fellowman, and treat him with a finer justice than hitherto, Indeed, we must continue to go beyond justice and treat him with a yet larger generosity.

It takes a God, who knows that it ts better “farther on” to pluck a fresh fine looking, promising rose like Mrs. America Colbert. He knows wheth- er we are living our best and wheth- er earthly obligations and ties are too great to get all the happiness and glory for ourselves, He knows the minute and hour you are ready for glorification and He stands so close to the chasm of death until a saint smiles at His glorification be- fore he crosses over.

Maybe they couldn’t play with- out the thought of a eup of hot electrically percolated coffeewken the game wes Cone. Perhaps the real trouble was beecure the wives of our forefathers had no vacuum cleaners to put the cabin In spic- span shape so the Joneses or Smiths could ke invited over. Anyway, they had to content themeelves with d'rcussing the weather —of which there was PMenty—frying chestnuts n front of a hearth, and arguing about the merits of King George’staxa- tion—of which there was also plenty, Having to do without bridge was a disadvantage as well as a bless- ing.

Min- isters and friends honored the funer- al services at Calvary at 2.00 p. m, Thursday, The following obituary will give a of history of this beloved daughter and wife.tam Miss America Jones was born July 31, 1907, Fort Scott, Kansas. ,She corpleted the public schools in Friend, Kansas, at the age of 12 years; where she was aleo baptized and united with the church at about the same age. She was a graduate of K. V. S, Topeka, class of 1924. Afterwards she moved with her pa- rents to LaJunta, Colorado In 1925. She was united in marriage to Mr. Frank Colbert, August 1926 at Lua Junta, Colo, They moved to Wichita, in the fall of 1926, where they have resided ever since. She was a faithful member of Cal- vary Baptist Church, taking an ac- tive part In B. Y. P. U., and other auxiliary wrok of the church.

She was a devoted wife and loving mother. a Christian woman, OBITUARY fit from the lessons that bridge teaches. They didn’t learn that a real pariner is the first essential to bridge—and other things, too. They failed to find the secret of co-operation that bridge teaches, Bridge coes have benefits. Not the least of these is the heen thrill that comes from the co- operative playing of partners. Its lessons can be carried to many practical problems, You haye a silent partner every day, a partner who plays with ecards “face up on the table.” Electricity, and your electric company, stand ready with trump-curds at your disposal— and no strings. ‘The trump-card is ceaseless service, and the suit- cards are co-operation with civic enterprike in every community we serve, You've got a goed partner in your big bridge gameofevery day living!
