THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 49. PRES. HOOVER IN LETTR PRES. HOOVER IN LETTR ATLANTA, GA. 13—President Hoover regards the work of the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation as "A sane, simple and sensible plan," according to a resent letter addressed by the President to Lr R. R. Moton, who is heading a national campaign for a fund of $130,000 to finance the Commission's work for the ensuing ten years. President Hoover's letter follows. "I have been greatly impressed by the constructive work of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. The solution of all conflict is that men and women of good-will shall search and find the areas where we can cooperate, and thus minimize differences. That is the sane, simple and sensible plan," according to a recent is of real national importance. I trust it will have the widest support." The national committee of sixty which is conducting the campaign in behalf of the Commission has opened headquarters in New York and announces that encouraging returns are coming in. The officers of the committee are: Chairman, Dr. R. R. Moton; Treasurer, Dr. George Foster Peabody; Chairman of Executive Committee, Henry S. Bowers; Assistant Treasurer, Daniel W. Armstrong.

IMPORTANT PLAN ANNOUNCED BY ATLANTA UNIV. IMPORTANT PLAN ANNOUNCED BY ATLANTA UNIV. WILL CONDUCT 2 ODERN DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL IN CONNECTION WITH DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. ATLANTA, GA., March 14—A demonstration school, beginning with kindergarten and going through four years of high school, is among the important plans for the next academic year of Atlanta University, according to an announcement by President John Hope. The school will be conducted in connection with the University's Department of Education and will be for the purpose of giving to students in that department practical observation and training in teaching methods. The kindergarten and elementary grades will be taught in the Oglethorpe School grades in Giles Hall on the Spelman campus. The latter building will be remodeled to accommodate the school, laboratory, library, and other facilities being provided. If desired, high school students attending the school may enroll in the boarding department of Spelman College. In announcing the plans for the new school, President Hope says: "Education for Negroes can be improved only through better teachers. The University will be meeting one of the greatest needs among Negroes if it can provide the proper training of teachers—teachers with thorough knowledge, teachers who can think with accuracy and precision, teachers with character and personality, and with such a contagious enthusiasm for their work as will invire and stimulate young people coming under their direction. "The demonstration School, thro its faculty, will provide an example of good teaching, but its main emphasis will be the welfare of the pupil. The aim will be to train the pupil in thoroughness, in accuracy and in knowledge of the subject. The purpose of the Demonstration School is not primarily to give students in the Department of Education practice in teaching, but to provide them with an opportunity to observe good teaching and its results."

It should be observed that they set forth the "traits" of the kingdom 1. The Wheat and Tarsa (iv. 21'00, cf. 26'48) 1. The sowers. The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man (v. 37), and the sower of the tarax is the devil (v. 39) 2. The growing crops (v. 26). There is a striking resemblance in the growing crops. The child part of the devil is that he transforms him self into an angel of light (II Cor 11:14 15) 1 The harvests (v 10) There comes a time when the fruit of the crop shall be gathered. The separation is made by the angels am der the direction of the Son of Man. For the times there is a furnace of fire. For the whent there is the Lord's garner. II. The Mustard Seed (vv 31 12) 1. Its unimportant beginning (v 1) It begins as the loast of all seeds. Not only was Christ the king, of humble parentage but Ils disciples were unlettered fisherman likewise, through the centuries not many wise and not many noble have been called. 2. Its vigorous growth (v 12). Though small in its inception the work inaugurated by Christ has become mighty in power 1. Its lodging capacity (v. 32). The birds which find lodgement in the tree do not represent the children of men who find safety and salvation in the church but the predators beings who have found shelter in the church, though they are no part of it. something nutritious and wholesome.

HAYES 615 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 1930 PEER, A GREAT EVANGELIST. Matt. 4:18-20, 16:10. An evangelist is one who is boiling over with the Love of God, and is cominated with a longing for souls. His meat is to win men to Christ, such a character, Peter was. When the Holy Ghost came upon him at Pentecost, he had no better power but more of it. Only the best can so enum God but the amount is in proportion to the Faith we send up to brarg it down. You cannot go for a dollar in merchandise, what you can for five. Jesus passed by and saw Peter and Andrew busy at their trade, the Master discovered, not only the possibilities of Disciples in these men, but Apostles and Evangelists, he He called them. Here we have the call of Jesus and the answer of the two brothers. Note that they were not fishers of Men, nor did they know how to catch men, they were therefore called to prepare. Their credentials were, their Faith is Christ. "Thou art The Christ." THOUGHTS God calls men to prepare for the Ministry. Catching men for God is the biggest and best business. Christ sees what is in us, and what it is possible to do with us by education and Grace. The chief business of the Christian is, to make other Christians.

Se CHRISTIAN OBLIGATIONS | TIE full rights of citizenship are the Negro’e as any other citizen. He must be allowed to exercise the franchise on the identica] terms that determine the vote of the white man. Even-handed fustice must handle the scales when he appears in court, either as defendant or prosecutor, In matters of paving, sanitary arrange- ments, police protection, charitable institutions, that are provided by the government, care must be taken to deal fairly, Every office mu.t be his wrize if he has sufficient prowess to pos.ess himself of its prerogative. THE railroad issue i till very much alive. So long as the Negro pays as much for service as the white man there must be no difference in the accommodations that he receives, The car in which he rides ntuat be as good in every’ respect ad’ that in which his white brother rides, Courte.y is demanded, *Some- times a Negro fs gratuitously offend- ed simply because he is a Negro. He is entitled to kindlier consideration. He is human. Cut him and he will bleed. Trample upon his sensibilities and they will quiver with pain as truly—though often not as keenly—ns his Anglo-Saxon brother. Hemu.t be addressed in terms of respect, | IN MEMORIAM | ——$—— With sadness we chronicle the de- parture of Mrs, Mintie Carter, mother of Mrs, Frankie Powell, Mr, Percy and Henry Carter, who paused away at her home on Mathewson, last Saturday.
