Work of School in Heart of Harlem
One of the largest public schools in Greater New York is Public School 89, at 485 Lenox avenue, and of its enrollment of 2,250 pupils more than 2,000 are colored. The school building is located in the very heart of Harlem and covers the entire block front from 13th to 135th streets. Jacob Theobald has been principal of this school about five and one-half years, and of the teaching staff of nearly sixty, twelve are colored teachers.
It is an interesting fact that the Evening School conducted at P.S. 9 with Prof. Mantelde's principal is the largest evening school in Greater New York, and the attendance is made up almost entirely of the colored men and women of the neighborhood who had little or no opportunity to attend school in their youthful days. Another interesting fact is that many of the pupils are newcomers from the South, whose school attendance had been limited, and who were consequently far behind, in their studies, of other pupils of the same age.
An interesting account of the work at P. S. 69 is contained in the following article by Principal Theobald.
1. The school has on register book 2250 children; girls are registered in classes Kindergarten to 3A; boys are taken through the entire elementary school course. Kindergarten to 8B. More than 2,000 of the children are colored.
2. There are 57 classes, two clerks, two assistant principals in the teaching and supervising staff. Twelve of the teachers are colored, the rest are white.
3. Special classes are at the disposal of the pupils: Open Air class for anemic children; Sight Conservation class for children with imperfect vision; two Kindergarten Classes; two Ungraded Classes for mentally backward children; and three Opportunity Classes for pupils who have at some time in the past not had an opportunity for adequate schooling. A workshop is at the disposal of boys over 12 years of age.
4. Sixteen classes are on double session, i.e. they can not be given regular school hours because there is not sufficient room to house all children at the same time. In these double session classes two classes take turns in the use of one room.
5. The attendance this past term has been the best in over five years, notwithstanding the fact that there has been a tremendous influx from the South of pupils whose of school attendance have not been high, and whose opportunities have been very limited. The years average attendance is usually about 85-86 per cent. This year it promises to be nearly 89 per cent.
6. The scholarship of those pupils who have had adequate schooling is very promising. The graduates of the school, 90 per cent, of whom continue in the various High Schools, maintain themself as well as the average graduates, and not a few have gained distinction in their High School work. Stuyvesant, Commerce, and De Witt Clinton attract most of the graduates, though Townsend Harris and the Boys' Vocational School also receive our pupils. The trend toward the Vocational and the Manual Training High School center has been a little more marked of later than formerly.

where a parent should safely to sacrifice educational opportunities in order to have the benefit of the few dollars the boy might be able to earn. I am convinced as the result of 22 years' service in the schools of New York that there is not another section where so much is sacrificed and even want is endured in order to keep the

boy in school. And the realization on the part of the boy that he must do something in return for this sacrifice, is growing stronger.
Economic Change Due to War.
9. The war has made a wonderful change in the earning power of our graduates, as well as in the variety of employments and vocations open to them. The change over conditions five years ago is remarkable. During the past two years requests have come to me for boys for all kinds of positions, and they have been direct for colored boys, a thing unheard of five years ago. My graduates, too, who have followed vocational lines are coming back to visit their all-matter with the same indication in economic opportunity and success. There is yet room for improvement, but the trail has been braved, and every efficient boy that we turn out is making that trail clearer and easier to find.
10. Education is by no means connected to the school building. It is working positively or negatively after school hours in the community at large. More boys get into trouble, because juvenile deficiencies, than is necessary. And the reason is that the city has not the forge to provide proper restoring facilities. The boy must be boy raised on something worth worth calling on to get giving, on education of his mind and development that may not meet the requirements of society. Moreover apprenticeship in the city may be the community best aid and best action. Our apprentices have given the proper education, and the best welfare Association, backed by the people of the community and the family. City boys have been trained in important work and their

that in connection with considering
phases of the Negro in Northern com-
munities the speaker will bring out
some lessons from the Chicago riots.
Dr. Wolfe Carr is full of interest.
For twenty-five years he has been a
member of the board of the Brooklyn

Civic Association, one of Chicago's first
social welfare movements.
Held Clinica in the South
For a number of years Dr. Hall made trips to Southern communities, holding clinics and performing operations for the benefit of the Negro physicians and their patients, and these trips were made at his own expense. As a mark of appreciation form one community, the George Cleveland Hall Hospital at Birmingham was banded and enforced by the colored citizens. Dr. Hall held clinics regularly at Tuskegee Institute during Dr. Washington's lifetime. He organized the Chicago Business League, was a member of the committee which organised the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., and served as chairman of that body for years. He is a member of the Urban League board and vice-chairman of the Chicago Urban League board. Others who will take part in the anniversary program will be Mrs. Andrina Lindsey pianist; Mrs. Marie Peake Johnson, soprano; Robert J. Elzy, executive secretary of the Brooklyn Urban League, and Alexander L. Jackson, educational secretary of the National Urban League.

LOUISVILLE, NY.-The National Urban League is complying with the request of the chairman of the Session on Race Rebattions in giving publicity to the resolution adopted at the joint conference of the National Consumers' League, the Americanization Committee of the Kentucky Council of Defense, and the Kentucky Conference of Social Work recently held in Louisville. An important action was devoted to race relations. This was the first meeting ever held in the State where leaders of both races, white and colored, came together before a large audience of Negroes and whites to talk over things of common interest. The following resolutions were adopted:
1. We favor the establishment of district seminaries with State aid for the care and treatment of all persons, both white and colored, in Kentucky, who suffer from tuberculosis.
2. We urge all the people of our Southland, both white and coloured, to co-operate with the view of bringing about a better understanding between the races, and to this end. (a) provide adequate educational facilities for the Negro youth. (b) To adopt measures that will insure the Negro's health. (c) To recognize the good and higher quality in the Negro through the pores and skin. (d) To guarantee justice and a recognition of the rights before the law, and to stand for the equal rights of the law on both races alone. (e) To encourage race pride and light qualification among the Negroes. (f) To guarantee protection for the Negro. (g) To guarantee educational progress for the Negro. (h) To encourage whites to cooperate with the Negro.
Studies from White Schools Attend Tuskegee Conference
Joint Study of Phelps-Stokes Fellows and University Race Interaction andiders Race Problem.
(By ALBOM L. HOLSEY.)
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—One of the most notable groups ever gathered at Tuskegee Institute was the joint session of the Phelps-Stokes Fellows and the University Race Commission which met here January 5, 1947. The Phelps-Stokes Fellows are young men and women students attending the Universities of Georgia and Virginia, whose enquiries are being paid by the Phelps-Stokes Fund. They are carefully selected students who are making a special study of some plains of the Tuskegee problem as a part of their work in Sociology. They are encouraged to prepare questionnaires on the subject they
The trustees of the Phipps Stokes Fund, of which Dr. Thomas Jones Jones is the executive officer, decided that one of the best and most practical methods of improving the Negro condition would be to give the young Southern white teens of broad sympathies an opportunity of studying Negro life. As a result, Phipps Stokes Fellowships have been established in the University of Georgia at Athens and the University of Virginia at Charlestonville.
The University Race Commission in amassed and characterizes of eleven Southern universities, actually professors of Sociology, who have blinded themselves together for the purpose of studying the Negro problem in their classes and meeting once each year to exchange ideas. The Commission serves once a year, meeting the country or race which is in danger of being discussed. The message last year in synching, was one of the outstanding documents of the year. Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Fund, Bunhill and one of the founders of the Commission, was unable to attend on account of illness. Prof. Josiah Morse of the University of South Carolina is chairman.
Dr. Moton State Case of Neuro.
Principal Moton at the opening session was asked by Dr. Jones to tell the Fellows something of the race problem from the Negro's standpoint. Education, civic justice, integration, lynching, Jim Crow cars and protection of Negro women were among the matters to address upon by Dr. Moton as he sought to interpret the feelings of his people in these earnest, sympathetic young men about raciality in number, including self-professors, from the two universities and Miss Ruth Rage, a Phipps Stokus Fellow of the University of Georgia. A note of hopefulness as a result of the first-hand information regarding the conditions among the black people sounded by many of the professors present. As one of the young men said in commending Dr. Moton's class in description of some of the things which handiwork and discussion the Negro "Hereetofore, I have learned my opinions that X would to Y would to Y and he in truth to me, the degree he hagged and find some degree which would me a new insight into the problem."

It would be an eye-opener for them."
Getting into touch with and hearing of the race problems by talking with the Negro himself and understanding his Negro himself and sympathetic with him in his difficulty with the race, which was sounded throughout all of the discussion of the two days' session and there were frequent references to the address of Dr. Moton as the "keynote" of the conference.
Prof. Frank T. Long of the Southern University, Sutherland, Fla., formerly a Phila- Stokes Fellow of the University of Georgia, said: "I had not had the opportunity before to know the Negro and I am grateful for this opportunity of coming to Tuskegee."
"Organization growing out of sympathy and understanding between the races will go a long way to stop lawlessness," was the sentiment of Walter B. Hill, son of the late Chancellor Hill of the University of Georgia, and now rural school supervisor for Georgia.
The white people of the South, said T. J. Ware, Phila Stokes Fellow of the University of Georgia, "can also help in this matter by speaking out letting the Negroes of the South know that they are their friends. Much of the misunderstanding between the races is due no doubt to the fact that some of the white people of the South hesitate to speak out for fear of what other people might think of them."
University Race Commission
On Wednesday evening the University Race Commission had its meeting following a public meeting in the Institute Chapel. Prof. Josiah Morse, acting as chairman, called the meeting to order after he had been introduced by Principal Motion. After his statement of the purpose and plans of the University Race Commission, a lively discussion followed, in which Dr. Morse said in part:
"The Race Commission has no definite function. It does what it can. It senses the thing to do and so it feels its way. I think one of its functions is to serve as a sort of medium in the spiritualistic sense between the two races. A medium, you know, must get herself to respond with you and we can communicate with you from time to time. We have been going now for eight years or more, and we are that same of so feel that in those eight we know the Native problem. We feel that we must come out to you, from time to time to assist intervals and get ourselves once again to respond with you if you will get up in order that we may not get a sort of medium between you and the future leaders of the white race in the South. I feel that is one of our greatest functions, therefore I hope we can help and cooperate effectively because we are all bound to work hard to build up the future of the nation."
The Boys Welfare Association in Harlem is now located in its new home at 4-6 West 131st street, and John D. Saunders, the executive secretary, is rapidly getting the building in shape for the various activities of the organization. The movement in interest of the boys of Harlem is little more than a year old and was quartered at first in rooms at P.S. 89, corner Lenox avenue and 135th street.

Hampton, Va.—"There is a great deal of agitation and true hope based on promises made during the World War," declared the Rev. Richard H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Norfolk, in his address of "Freedom in Process," delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, before an audience of nearly 2,000 colored citizens of the Lower Peninsula of Virginia and over 800 Hampton students, which gathered to celebrate the fifty-seventh anniversary of Lincoln's epoch-making Emancipation Proclamation.

Bowling, pastor hall, in his address on "Freedom Hall, Hampton Institute, before a citizens of the Lower Peninsula to students, which gathered to celebrate of Lincoln's epoch-making Emancipation "There are some lessons," said Dr. Bowling, "which stand out boldly and which it would pay us to hold close to our hearts, keeping them always, before us as ideals and guiding principles.
"Without preparation for holding privileges, privileges will gradually be lost. With the aid of the armies of occupation after the Civil War and some of the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, the Negroes got control of the political machines in most of the Southern States and became very powerful. They had every right that even the most radical Negro demands to day. There was no law requiring separate school. Negroes attended and took degrees from the leading Southern colleges and universities. There were no laws against intermarriage. There were no laws against segregating one race from another. There were no laws of disfranchisement, no laws of pimorowism. Negroes held position in Southern States from governors down to the lowest position in the States."
"What was the result? Fifteen or twenty years after the Civil War Negroes had been stripped of every college of power and privilege. Why? The reason was affliction the Negro had privileges given to him that he was not prepared to hold." Dr. Bowling added:
Mann Also Work.
"Without preparation for measuring up to imperialism, opportunities will be limited to friend and Joe office. We must be prepared to overcome up to imperialism and opportunities."
Must Be Prepared.
various Harlem organizations was re-
instated, including the W. Y. W. A., the
Y. M. C. A., the Urban League, and
influential citizens of the community,
and a conference was arranged with
representatives of the Rotary Club,
which is interested in the work among
boys, and the Boys Club Federation.
Early in November, 1918, this con-
ference was held. Harlem was re-
presented by a group of citizens which
included Dr. Eugene P. Roberts, Fred R.
Moore of Turt. No., Jacob Theloald,
principal of P. S. 89; James H. H.
Hubert, executive secretary of the New
York Urban League; Eugene Kincelle
Jones, executive secretary of the Nati-
onal Urban League, and John D.
Saunders, field secretary of the Big
Brothers' Movement. Representatives
of the Rotary Club, with C. J. Atthan-
son, executive secretary of the Bupa
Club Foundation, met with these chie-
fs, and gave a presentation of the
needs of the boys by Mr. Saunders, the
work was started.
Rotary Club Offers $29,000.
The interest of the Rotary Club members was shown by the offer from its Boy's Work Committee, through Mr. Atkinson, its chairman, to the effect that if Harlem citizens would raise $0,000 the Boy's Work Committee would give $25,000, the total of $0,000 to be used for the acquiring of a club house for the boys of Harlem. This offer led to a meeting of Harlem citizenry early in 1919 at the Music School Settlement building, 4-0 West 131st street, with Dr. Eugene P. Roberts in the chair, when the Rotarian proposition was accepted.

We must do some actual work of pre-
paration. The only way to prepare for
hearing large tasks is to get down and
begin to educate. This is the idea that
has been enunciated by Hampton, by
Tuskegee, and by countless other
schools. We must educate, not only the
select few, but we must also educate
every last man, woman and child.
Business Opportunities.
"Business must come before pleasure. Colored men are just as well fitted for business as anybody else. The reason some colored men have failed in business is because they have not reinvested their profits in their business or paid cash for their goods. We must be honest sagacious, cooperative in business. If Negroes anywhere will get together one trust each other and be wise in business they will succeed.
"We must secure and hold our shop. We must utilize every friend we can possibly get. We must appeal for the aid and moral support, not only of our friends in the Negro, but also of our white friends in the South.
Lesson to Be Remembered.
The Negro must remember the lesson, from an ancient day, that just strength lies largely in religion. The reason he won out was because religion had brought out of him and insisted in him the qualities of patience, longsuffering, lack of reverence of spirit.
We must stop fighting and fighting and bargain in a calm and sound Christian way. We must remember that strength must not from their foolishness of selfishness they will succeed.

A NELTER FOR GIRLS.
The White Rose Industrial Association was started in 1897 by the late Vivian Earle Matthews as a working for home. It has continued its work using this period, affording a shelter to working girls who were scrappers in a great city, giving them homelife opportunities and training them for individual employment in the community. A permanent home is now needed for a institution and the sum of $500 is given for this purpose. The appeal of the managers for contributions toed this purpose should meet with a hurry response among our people. Much has already been accomplished through the agency of this institution in the movement to establish it on a later foundation deserves hearty support.
DIVIDED EFFORTS
Another example of the division of labor and diffusion of energy that characterizes the movements for the betterment of the Negro race is presented in the organization purporting to speak "half of our race group of twelve million loyal citizens" under the title of the National Federation of Colored Orders. Interests in the United States of America. The names known educators and citizens are used on the interleaves of his body and its objects centrally praised worthy. On essays at presenting the party in power was the chairman of the Committee, in which the following statements were made in the party program:
1. The adoption of all discriminatory laws on race or color.
2. The inclusion of public conveyance, the navy, the army, the departments of government and holding public office.
3. The adoption of a policy whereby Negro Republicans will receive a larger measure of party recognition in the councils of the party, and fair representation in both appointive and elective office.
4. That the Republican party adopt the policy or recognizing the political leadership of intelligent, self-respecting Negro men and women of the North.
Much of the above will commend itself to the fair-minded individuals of such races, as demands entirely reasonable and fully warranted by the law of the land, the Constitutional amendments and the platforms of the Republican party.
But to bring about the active adoption by the party leaders of the policy outlined more must be done than the mere presentation of the above demands, how well bolstered up with names of expectable and self-respecting members of the race.
First, as to restoring the ballot in the south. Judging from the tenor of many of the Negro papers of that section, there is lacking the effort and the disposition to exercise the fraternise, where it is possible. In parts of Georgia and Virginia the most strenuous efforts are necessary in order to induce the Negroes musted to vote to pay their poll tax or otherwise qualify themselves to exercise the ballot. Of course, this apathy is not omitted to black voters alone, as many whites allow themselves to be similarly qualified. This is largely due to the fact that democracy has vanished from the government of the Southern States and an oligarchy has been substituted. Nevertheless, before the ballot can be defended, it is necessary that those deprived of it should show a determination to regain and exercise the right of refuge.
Since the Supreme Court of the United States declared the verminhunter whose illegal in the Oklahoma case the apprehension of the defendant has not been easy of accomplishment so far, it is probable that many of the devices now employed to dispense those intended to毒害 would be set aside in the courts.
effort to test disfranchisement in Alabama dropped.
Now, what we desire to emphasise by this recital of ancient history is that processes and pleas will not regain the "machine nor do away with "Jim Crow" cars and other injustices. What is needed is an active effort on the part of the race itself, bled up with the dollars essential to fight the matter out through the courts and other departments of the Government.
The multiplication of race organisations is not essential to this plan, but rather the concentration of means and effort behind the most efficient, of the agencies now in the field. Pleas and protests are not without their value as appeals to public and private sentiment, but more aggressive and effective measures should be adopted to get results.
Let us have less diffusion of effort and more concentration in a practical way.
And let those men and, women of the race who already possess the ballot, include those in New York City, more than the right to vote at every election.
THE MAKING OF BISHOPS
A dance at the denominational organs of the two great divisions of colored Methodism shows that the members of these churches are considerably stirred up over the selection of good men for the bishopric.
The Apostle Paul, who possessed a fund of worldly wisdom, in discussing the qualifications for the office, wrote to Timothy as follows:
If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach.
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy for filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous.
One that ruleth well his own house.
This is not all that the great apostle said on the subject, but it is sufficient to show that the standard of character and fitness has not changed much since Saint Paul's time.
There seems to be general agreement among those discussing the matter that only fit men of known ability should be chosen to the high office of bishop and that no man seeking the office should be required to pay any money to further his candidacy. The office of a bishop is too high to be bought. It would also be a reflection upon any candidate for the bishopric to have to pay any man to vote for him.
A purchased bishopric would be a lasting stigma, both upon the church and in the mumbent and would render the bishop in question unit for the performance of his high duties. To seek the office is an honorable ambition, but better that the office should seek the man. We are not to make these reflections of the careless comment of some individuals on past elections of bishops, and the disposition in some quarters to regard the episcopal campaign in the same light as prevailed in the worst days of ward politics, before political reform made its presence felt.
PUBLIC DEPARTMENT
The department of an individual in public and the observance of the ordinary courtesies and niceties of behavior are essential to the good standing of the individual in the opinion of the public as well as his associates. When an individual violates any of the ordinary courtesies of daily intercourse it is not only a reflection on his own personal character, but upon the group with which he is associated.
The splendid impression made by the colored soldiers upon the French civilians with whom they came in contact, was largely due to the innate sense of courtesy that characterized their intercourse. Despite the many starling qualities of the average American, courtesy and refinement are not the outstriking texture of his equipment. It is hard to find and read a uniform and a genuine good bearer, on the part of the majority that render the mingling with the crowds of a great city endurable. The average American in the crowded cars thinks nothing of obstructing the narrow ashes with his dusty shoes, and he allows his neighbor with the greatest good will in the world.
In view of this severity of native courtesy in public, there is the greater reason for that class in whom it is seemingly inherent to eling to and cultivate that quality as their peculiar contribution to the sum of American character. Vulgarity of action and speech is especially to be avoided in public conveyances and resorts, especially by those whose education and training leave no excuse for such conduct on the score of assurance.
A notable instance of cooperative effort is cited by the Voice of Rocky Mount, N. C. in the form of a $50,000 corporation owned and operated by the Negro farmers at Fort Worth, N. C. The handling of such an organization is improving the crops and in providing supplies in quantity to be seen. We thank the farmers of Fort Worth for their assistance.

Consideration of the action of the New York do with an approval of the creeds do only with the question of the relation through the medium of governmentable that opinion may be right there can be no democratic form.

The only explanation of the action of the leaders of the legislature in expelling the five Socialist members is that they thought they would strike a chord of popular approval. And there is no doubt that these leaders are the most astonished men in the country that the said chord was not forthcoming. Everything seemed to be just set for it, American Legion activities, raids on the "Reds", deportations, introduction of drastic salution laws, and a general state of hysteria. According to all the dope the expulsion of the Socialists should have been acclaimed as the saving of New York State; the actual result is enough to dishearten the saviors.
The action of the Assembly is a danger sign. It shows how far the nation has gone toward losing civil liberties. It is like a gain which lets a man know he is sick and that he had better see a doctor.
There come times in the life of every nation when it holds a sleepy idea about what are called liberties. There come times when a people think of liberties as a fixed possession, something which they have gained and will therefore always hold. No idea is more deceptive, as history shows. Just as surely as a people goes to sleep on the idea that they have won their liberties and therefore have them for good and all, they are certain to wake up some day and find those liberties gone.
Liberties are not a fixed quantity, they are always in flux. And it takes not only a constant struggle to win liberties, but also a constant struggle to hold them. The moment the struggle to hold them relaxes, the liberties begin to melt away. This is true because according to the sorry scheme of human society there is always at work a force for the reduction of liberties, whether the force for gaining them is active or not.
A just consideration of the action of the New York Assembly has nothing to do with an approval of the creeds of the Socialist party; it has to do only with the question of the right of a minority to voice its opinion through the medium of governmental processes, no matter how objectionable that opinion may be to the majority. Without such a right there can be no democratic form of government.
The fact that a minority opinion is objectionable to the majority should not operate to take away the rights of the minority to advocate that opinion; in truth, all minority opinions are objectionable to the majority. Under our form of government the minority is to be protected in that right so long as it is exercised through the ordered processes.
The New York Assembly made a huge blunder in expelling the five Socialist members on the sole grounds that they represented a minority with objectionable opinions. But perhaps it was a fortunate blunder, after all; it may serve to wake the people of the United States to the fact that the civil liberties of which they have been so wont to boast are in a dangerous situation.
THE NEW SEDITION BILL
ive Graham of Pennsylvania has in bill which is so drastic, that it has these days of radical baiting. The conspiracies to overthrow the Governor penalties for interference with the boys so far in doing these things, the many members of Congress who
Representative Graham of Pennsylvania has introduced in the House a sedition bill which is so drastic that it has little chance of passing even in these days of radical baiting. The measure defines sedition, covers conspiracies to overthrow the Government by force and provides heavy penalties for interference with the decrees of the courts. The bill goes so far in doing these things that it has aroused opposition from many members of Congress who are themselves fierce hunters.
We believe that the scare over the "red" danger in this country is entirely out of proportion to the danger itself. We also believe that most of the talk about the overthrow of the Government by force is indulged in merely to furnish an excuse for crushing out radicalism. If there is sufficient proof to convince sane men and women that there is an organized movement on foot which threatens the overthrow of the United States, that proof has not yet been made public.
There is a lot of talk about plots being uncovered, plots to overthrow the Government, but just what these plots were, and how they were to be carried out is never stated. The charges are being made against those who are said to be conspiring to overthrow the Government by force, but the fight is being made against all who have what are termed radical ideas. In this way an effort has been made to bring the Negro in under the charge.
The Graham bill is intended not only to secure the "safety of the Government of the United States," but to cure all unrest by means of repression. We are of course opposed to such a bill as Representative Graham has drawn, chiefly on the grounds that it is unnecessary and un-American; but there is one section of the measure which interested us very much.
The sedition section of the bill in part reads as follows:
For some time efforts have been made to get Congress to pass a law to punish lynching; read the above section of the Graham bill through carefully again, and see if you can imagine a better law that could be drawn for the purpose of punishing lynchers, that would have a chance of being passed.
If we take out the clause "or with intent to set up or establish another form of Federal or state government," this whole section is a clear indimention of member of a byrning mob. To "cause a state of anarchy" is to imply that we prevent the execution of the
under this Amendment the Supreme Court has rendered more than 600 decisions, but less than five per cent of those decisions have had anything to do with the question of the Negro's rights. The principal use of the Fourteenth Amendment has been to invoke it for the protection of the property rights of individuals and corporate interests. If Congress should pass a bill compiling the section quoted above, it would be worth the effort to see if the Supreme Court could not be constituted to be as wide in its interpretation of the section as it has been in the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Now, we hope that Codygrass will be wise then to pass such laws as the Graham bill and the Bunting bill, even though they might be used to fight lynching; because a passage of those bills as they stand would entail greater cuts than lynching.
BRETAN'S COMBACK

Down to three months ago, we might say three weeks ago, the big majority of people in this country thought of William Jennings Bryan, if they thought of him at all, as politically dead and buried. And now he comes back, and not as a pale ghost, but full of life and power.
On the morning after the Jackson Day dinner in Washington every newspaper in the country carried reports of Bryan's speech, and speculated on what part he would play in the coming campaign.
Bryan came back not as a hanger on, but as a center, perhaps a storm center, of attraction. He came back talking issue with the President over the most important political question of the day, the question of the Peace Treaty and League of Nations. The President's letter and Bryan's speech overlaided everything else connected with the dinner; and the reading public could not help from being struck by the fact that in handling the subject at issue Mr. Bryan's speech was much more practical and to the point than the President's letter.
The President, as he has done so many times before, said nothing definite, offered nothing concrete; he spoke in general terms about the duty of America to the world. Mr. Bryan stated quite clearly his views that Article X of the League could not be adopted unless it was so amended that the war making power should still remain in Congress.
But after all, it is not strange that Bryan should show himself in this instance a clearer and more practical thinker than President Wilson; he had demonstrated already that he is far in advance of anybody in his party.
Bryan came to be regarded somewhat in the light of a political joke because he advocated reforms so long before there was any public sentiment for adopting them people thought of him as being politically crazy. Of course, he has advocated many things that have not been and ought not to be adopted, but a glance at the reforms which he was advocating before anybody else thought of them or dared to advocate them and which have since been adopted is enough to amaze those who have considered Bryan as a political mountainbank.
Away back in 1896 Bryan was advocating a graduated income tax; seven years ago the Constitution of the United States was amended to provide for the levying of an income tax. About the same time he advocated the election of senators by popular vote; and seven years ago the Constitution was amended to provide for the election of senators by the people. About the same time he advocated the initiative and referendum; and to-day the initiative and referendum is part of the political machinery in many states. Along in 1906 Bryan advocated postal savings banks; and in 1110 Congress passed an act establishing the Postal-Savings System. About fifteen years ago he began advocating the eight-hour day; and the eight-hour day is now recognized in most of the states.
But this does not exhaust the list of radical reforms that were preached by Bryan at a time when nearly everybody else thought of them as absurd. About ten years ago Bryan astounded the country by coming out for National Prohibition. It was a good joke, nobody took it seriously, local option was all right for those who were worried about the temperance question, but the idea of the matter being made a question for Congress was fit only for the head of a lunatic. Well, as everybody, knows, the Constitution was imputed and National Prohibition is upon us.
It was Bryan also, we believe, who was the first to advocate publicity for campaign contributions; we believe, too, that he was the first big politician of the present generation to come out openly and strongly for woman suffrage.
Perhaps twenty years from now the people will conclude that Bryan was also right on the war. At any rate he has a record of prophecies come true that is not equaled by many politicians. Bryan is a figure to watch in the coming campaign. He may not be the Democratic nominee, but it is not improbable that he will dictate the nomination.
FLOGGING AFRICAN WOMEN.
A recent libel suit in the British Law Court in London brought out, to the amazement of the British public, the fact that the stripping and flogging in public of native women was common in those parts of West Africa under British domination.
These facts were brought out in a suit against the African Telegraph, a newspaper published in London and the official organ of the Society of Peoples of African Origin. While the plaintiff in this action the Captain Burgaud was given a warrant to appear at the Telegraph, I learned later for the hundred pounds, the amount of native women
So strong was the trial of the procedure brought out that the Telegraph announced that in answer to a question Colonel Wodgwood, the Prime Minister, laying in the Parliamentary papers, that the冻zing of women is forbidden by law in India, Egypt and all Crown Colonies, and that it is being made to part in end to the practice so far as it is survived in the region not under the jurisdiction of the British Government.
While the editor of the Telegraph has been imprisoned in the course of several hundred days, he is indulged by a heavy blow at one of the many blots upon British rule in Africa.

The Richmond Journal says that the greater part of the South is recognizing the value of the services rendered by the college trained women of the race in raising the standards of their people. It continues: "They have gone out from the college to every corner of the South, most of them as teachers, as school supervisors and as nurses. In the home economic field, in welfare work, in spreading a knowledge of hygiene and child care and the desire for better home conditions, the work of these women has been beyond compare. In the case of Fisk University, for example, fully half of the 1,500 living graduates and 4,000 former students are graduates and have under their direction and influence no fewer than 80,000 of the coined children of the South." This observation gives point to the $2,000,000 campaign launched in behalf of Fisk University one of the objects of which is to found a model teacher training school on the college grounds.
A. Otto Vorgarten, the Rev. Dr. Ning Maier of Columbia University, compared the American Christians to be treated by its spirit in approaching the problem of the Negro. I am glad he continued, "that if the Negro constitutes a problem, it is a result of his progress. I thank God that trees can spells the doom of all manner of societies. Future danger lies in desperation not in intimate contact. To the indoctrines of racial purity, this is protected not strengthening divisive tendencies, but through active and intimate contact cultures. What the need is a liberal arts education and their people into spirit." The Ivy Arts are coming fast through the sensatives of the race in colleges of the country.
Writing in the California Eagle on the convictions prevailing out of the trouble in Eugene, Ariz., the Bar. B. C. Robbons said, "Toronto Brough is afraid to expose them Negroes. A guilty comrade is an dwarf thing. Presses public in impugnative actions are more likely to do with prejudice." The editor also quoted Dr. K. C. Huntz of Eugene as saying the Negroes in Eugene did not the guilty comrade of prejudice. The editor also quoted the same note.

A simple signal is behind by the Detroit Lakers in the following advice to its readers: "Learn to look with suspicion upon the man, who has never succeeded in a single line of endeavor, who has never made good in a line of business or who has given up his life to one line of work and then comes to you to enter him with something different in which he has never had any training."
The deduction is that space one will have to pay for the promoter's experience and it will of course be the person who puts up the financial assistance.
An example of practical Christianity is noted by the Bmanepitar, of Montgomery, Ala., in the following item: "Mr. and Mrs. Toddie Griffin had the misfortune of losing their house and its contents by fire on the night of the 27th of December. A collection of SNI) was taken at the Union Baptist Church, and given to the unfortunate family. This incident proves that the role of the Good Samaritan has not gone out of style among the church people of to-day.
Under the heading of "An Urgent Need," Arendanen Baskerville of Charleston, S. C., advertises in the Church Herald of that place as follows: "125,000 to aid in building a parish house in Charleston, to help administer to the religious, industrial, educational and social life of more than 40,000 Negroes." It is to be hoped that this need will be supplied in short order. Such confidence in the Brawing power of printer's ink deserves to be revered.
WRITE CRIMINALS
To run Kering or visit New York Am: I am forced by the action of the politician who wrote and helped you to determine his administration because he couldn't stand reading a record of crime committed by white men, such as was recently published in The Am. I am surprised to learn that the passed majority of the politician was so badly shamed. I can't believe that he has lived in America very long. If so then he undeniably does not read the American newspapers. He has only to look over the front page of the white paper, where her forty years has been published every record of crime and misdeed which could be attributed to a Negro, regardless of its nature. The Southern white press has caused many insurrection to be frightened and their property destroyed by publishing on their front pages all manner of crimes supposed to have been committed by Negroes. But this politician does not know anything about this, so he must be a newcomer in this country. No crime charged to a Negro is too uncommon to be featured on the front page of the white newspaper.
The Georgia Negroes congregates Two Aux for the sound it makes in defending the character of the Negro, and in showing to the world that the Negro is not the only criminal.

The editorial in THE ACE on "Northern Negroes Modelling in Southern Affairs" was both timely and pointed. Don't stop modelling. Keep everlastingly at it, Frederick Douglas, Wm. Still, Wm. Wells Brown and other Negroes in the North kept modelling until freedom came. If there ever was a tune that Southern affairs needed to be modelled with it is now. The Negro leaders in the South need a backbone. We have too many so-called leaders who are always apologizing for every wrong that is heaped upon the race in the South. We have too many tattling Negroes who preach on Sunday and tattle on Monday. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is our abolition society. It has the spirit of Wm. Lloyd Garrison. He modelled with his Liberator and the South did not like it then and does not like it now. It is known that in your places in the South the race men camp-out, but we thank for the national force of Turt Ace, who will modelling for the rights of the race.

$300 a Week Selling Plea
For more than an hour the speaker gave not only examples of the new awakening, but pointed out opportunities that should be immediately seized upon in practical commercial life, the opening of enterprises for the necessities, bakeryes, meat stores, groceries, shoe stores, bonding companies, fire insurance companies, manufactures, and the like. He told of an instance in Washington where a man was pointed out who makes $300 per week; commissions on selling ples alone, and he drew the lesson if that much can be made on selling ples, there can be equally as much, or more, made in other and more important ways.

WASHINGTON LETTER
New York Age News Bureau
(109 F Street, N. W.
MAMMETT CARTR, MANAGER)
Washington, D. C. Excitation was at Washington five days ago when Howard University called upon by Senator Benson of Utah to explain why a little book containing only a twinkle pages entitled "Seventy-Six Questions and Answers on the Bolsheviks and Soviet" by Albert Rhyss-Williams, was in its library. Senator Smoot denounced the literature and declared that unless the University made an immediate reform, so far as he was concerned there would be no further appropriations for the institution. The Utah Senator declared that every page in the book was filled with propaganda intended to put forth the doctrines of the Bolsheviks. It appears that Senator Smoot had been informed that the pamphlet had been eagerly sought for by young colored students of the University and that its presence in the library was known to the officials of the school.

Montgomery of Mississippi Writes Governor of Georgia Declares the National Negro Business League Would be a Potent Force in Uniting Race Organizations.
Mound Bayou, Mina—When the recent session of the House of Southern Governors, held at Savannah, Ga., was being arranged for, Gov. Hug h M. Dorsey of Georgia sent telegrams of invitations to several prominent Negroes, asking them to be present and take part in an informal discussion on relation of the races. The Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery of this city was among the men invited, but business affairs of extreme importance prevented his personal attendance.
In acknowledging the invitation, Mr. Montgomery took occasion to call attention to the work of the National Negro Business Men's League as a potent force available for the bringing together of representatives of various organization which need to be reached and used in working out some tangible policy to which all could honorably subside.
In a statement concerning this meeting of the governors, Mr. Montgomery said that, "the negotiation for improvement of such a large number of aliens and foreign-born citizens for their native countries and the unsettled attitude of organized labor throughout the country at large, that very large drafts will continue to be made upon already depleted supply of Southern labor; which, equipped with the natural tendency of the educated Negro to leave the farms, brings forcibly to light the grave question of the near future: "What people are going to continue the operation of our southern Farms?"
One of our poss-in-law, during a recent visit, told me of a large manufacturing concern at Albin, Michigan, that built a number of heat cottages convenient to their main plant, from which was supplied water, light and heat for all the conveniences and comforts incident to urban life; built two brick churches (one each for Baptists and Methodists); constructed and equipped a modern school house; settled on the premises 1,500 colored people from Virginia, and then instituted a system of prizes for the best kept premises. He also told of the celebrated auto builder, Heirry Ford, employing many Negro workers. He subjects all his employees to reports by an inspector, with details of living conditions, amount of deposits in bank, and such other details as evidence the industry and thrift of the employee.
Race Organizations
The Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, during the present year, recommended and secured employment for 1,600 colored girls, with the great mail order house of Sears, Rotbuck & Co.
Some years ago the 'Urban League was formed in the city of New York for the purpose of bettering housing conditions among colored people, and securing them greater opportunities in the way of employment. This organization has brought about a remarkable betterment in New York and has extended its work to most of the large cities of the country, including some of the larger Southern cities.
While giving due weight to the conditions above outlined and the possibilities before the two organizations that have now grown quite powerful and effective, any thought observer will readily conclude that all of the avenues mentioned together are not adequate to meet the requirements of the race. Neither do the available occupations afford ample room for expansion and full development of Negro capacity and character. Our Northern friends must recognize this, and on the other hand, they should know of the great opportunities afforded in the South and the wonderful strides made by Negroes in various localities, many of which come under my own observation and management to some extent, and others are detailed in the public press from time to time.
In my humble opinion we need a frank and fair conference among the conservatives and liberal thinking forces, both of the North and South, that are really interested in Nepal development. This fact that no single effort has ever been made to reach the base. His and special interests of the planning sector people should be encouraged and grown upon. This is a piece of life that we have to preserve and preserve.
In acknowledging the invitation, Mr. Montgomery took occasion to call attention to the work of the National Negro Business Men's League as a potent force available for the bringing together of representatives of various organizations which need to be reached and used in working out some tangible policy to which all could honorably subscribe.
In a statement concerning this meeting of the governors, Mr. Montgomery said that "the suggestion for improvement to basically begin on the plantations implies the principle of conservation and efficiency calculated to foster permanency and consequent availability of the natural increase of population. As development proceeded the husbanded earning of Negroes would resume an outlet in properly devised Home Settlements; and in this larger work the many years of intimate association fostered between our financiers and business men by the Business League has prepared them to grasp the wonderful possibilities this new field will afford."
The Correspondence.
Governor Dorsay's telegram and Mr. Montgomery's reply thereto are given as follows:
FEON GOV. LORSEY.
Virginia, Ga.
Hon. James M. Montgomery.
Mound Boston, Miss.
Will have informal discussion on relation of race to executive session of house of Southern Governors at Savannah. Ga. to which you are invited. Addresses will be made by certain men who have studied the question.
HUGH M. DORSEY.
Governor
Western Union, via Greenville, Miss.
FROM MR. MONTGOMERY.
To His Excellency, Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor of the State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga.
Sir—I received your kind invitation by wire to be present at an informal discussion on gelation of races in an executive session of the House of Southern Governors at Savannah, Ga., and most highly appreciate the great measure of confidence and respect implied thereby. I sincerely regret, however, that conditions beyond my control render it impossible for me to ayail myself of this prized opportunity of attending a discussion pertaining to such a grave and important measure. At the same time I wish to say without reserve that I stand ready to render any service that promises to be practical in affording a solution of the difficult problem under consideration.
I frequently attended the sessions of the Southern Sociological Congress, and have taken an active interest in all State organizations that proposed to bring about a settlement of race relations. I have studied the situation pretty closely from every angle and reached the conclusion that the gradual development of public confidence has reached a plane where it is practical to bring together in close conjunction all of the leading elements devoted to the practical development of the Negro race. The beginning would not be difficult to a adult few; but the plan and problems involved are would be in immediate trouble that may seriously go for wrong writing that is adversely affectment of the community.

Penn State Conference Needed.
velopment must rest. It must be developed by successful demonstration work so as to command the interest and good will of both races, and at the same time tend to increased production and soil preservation. The practical experience of our Northern friends in what they term social and settlement work ought to prove of considerable aid to us in working out a practical Southern system. More than all, if a successful combination can be formed, it will have a marked and favorable effect upon the public press of both races which to a large extent controls public sentiment. And the primal object to be attained is the confidence of both races that a successful solution is being worked out in which they are both participants for the common good of all.
The Negro Business League.
I have prominently mentioned two organizations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Urban League, both of which are of Northern origin and have their headquarters in that section. I will now speak of another which antedates them both, and was founded in Boston about a score of years ago by that eminent Negro character and leader, Booker T. Washington.—The National Negro Business League.
It is a national forum where many of the leading Negro men, farmers, business, professional and laborers, touch elbows every year in some prominent city. The membership, however, is largely from the South and border States. It was at the last session of the League which occurred in St. Louis during August of the present year when representatives of two other organizations presented their annual messages. Then it was that the idea occurred to me and forcibly impressed itself, of the possibility of uniting all the elements engaged in working for Negro betterment upon some tangible policy that would favorably effect our Southern situation. And I think now that the League is capable of proving a valuable asset in bringing about an effective consultation.
I shall be greatly interested in considering any conclusion that the Honorable House of Southern Governors may see fit to proclaim; and again expressing my earnest desire to render any service possible. I am, very respectfully and sincerely yours.

White Educators Get Insight From New Angle at Meeting
Dr. Moton Interprets for Them the Race Feeling with Reference to Civic and Political Justice.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"Dr. Moton's interpretation of the feelings of his people this morning in our meeting was the most touching appeal for justice I have ever heard and it gave me not only a new insight into conditions, but a new sense of my moral responsibility to the Negro."
This was a statement made at Tuskegee Institute last week by Prof. Frank T. Long of the Southern University, Sutherland, Fla., formerly a Phelpa-Stokes Fellow of the University of Georgia, and one of the representative Southern white men who attended the Conference of Phelpa-Stokes Fellows called by Dr. Thonias Jesse Jones, executive officer of the trustees of the Phelpa-Stokes Fund.
Dr. Moton in his clear, frank and convincing style, interpreted for these twenty or more young Southern white men and women who are studying, the Negro problem, the feelings of the colored people with reference to civic justice, education, migration, jim-crow cars, social equality and the various other manifestations of the racial misunderstandings. A representative colored man who was visiting the Institute at the time and who heard Dr. Moton's address said: "I have never heard the case of the Negro so convincingly presented, and I am sure that every thoughtful colored man in the country would have subscribed to Dr. Moton's sentiments."
So impressed were the people who attended the conference by Dr. Moton's remarks, that the discussions of the two days' session frequently referred to it. Proi. C. J. Heatwole of the University of Georgia said: "I appreciate the importance of Dr. Moton's remarks. In a meeting like this white men and colored people can get closest to the problem and through co-operation, such as we are having here at this conference, we can start up hill toward a solution."
A New Note Sounded.
A new note in the solution of the race problem was sounded and it was especially significant because it came from a representative Southern white man, Prof. Joseph Morse of the University Race Commission, which met at Tuskegee Institute jointly with the Phelps-Stokes Fellows, when he said: "The Negro is not content with his condition and that to me is a most hopeful sign." Prof. Morse paid a most glowing tribute of praise to the colored people of America for the fine patriotism which they displayed during the recent war. "White people," he said, "told you a lot about the safety of democracy, about self-determination, and indirectly, the white people told you that if the Allies wont the war the Negro would receive some of these things, and you had a right to expect some recognition for the service which you rendered during the war, but now that the war is over, what have you received but disappointment in some of the things which you expected?
"I believe, however," he continued, "that the present unrest and manifestations of the racial misunderstanding are but a temporary condition and it is my earnest belief that the recent clashes which we have had are not symptoms of disease but are rather growing pains which are symptoms of growth toward the higher things which we all hope for. Concerning the Negro progress, he said: "The Negro has reached a higher level since 1914 than in any other hundred years before that time and this has brought the white people of the South face to face with a new situation with reference to the Negro and it is

BRIGHTEN YOUR COMPLEXION
And Make Your Skin as Soft and Smooth as That of a Baby
What would you spend if you knew some beauty specialist could make your dark complexion many shades brighter, remove the blemishes and make your skin clear and smooth?
Money would be no object, for above all things you want to be attractive, to look your best. A clear, smooth skin and a radiant complexion are, therefore, of the greatest importance to you.
Long ago realizing the need of some preparation that would enable ambitious people to make themselves more attractive, skin specialists and chemists were put to work to perfect a compound that people could use at home to brighten their complexion.
After many tests and experiments, extending over a period of years, the Black and White Beauty Treatment was offered to the public. This home treatment consists of Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap. The Ointment is mixed and applied just before bedtime and washed off the next morning. It is both simple and safe to use and just as delightful as the many face creams and lotions.
Black and White Ointment alone will brighten your skin and remove pimples and roughness, but when Black and White Soap is also used, much quicker and better results are acquired.
Black and White Soap is one of the best antiseptic toilet and beauty soaps made.
It contains only the best of oils and soap-making ingredients which are known to soothe and cleanse the pores, keep the skin in a healthy condition and improve the complexion.
The Black and White Beauty Treatment can be found at most good drug and toilet counters, or one package of Black and White Ointment and a bar of Black and White Soap will be sent you, postpaid, on receipt of SBE.
DON'T MAKE MONEY introducing Black and White Skin Beautifiers among your friends and neighbors. Write Dept. 125 for money-making proposition and your copy of the Black and White Dream Book.

really going to require some effort on
their part, but to the new
relationship with the Internet.
The solution for our present interracial problems in the estimation of Prof. Morse is more education for white and black. With more education, more sympathy, more understanding, more cooperation, he predicts a day in the not far distant future, when the "colossal folly" of race hatred will disappear.
The Phelps-Stokes Fellows are making a study of various phases of the Negro problem, and the results of their investigations are being put into pamphlet form. But the most important effect of the work is the contact and information which they are getting of the conditions among Negroes and the consequent sympathy and understanding which they are getting.

On Friday, January 9, the National Urban League gave formal recognition to the local New York Urban League as a separately incorporated body when a dinner, was tendered to the local Executive board and staff by the executive board and staff of the national body, at Rose's Hotel, on West 135th street. About forty guests were at the table, L. Hollingworth Wood, chairman of the National League, in a brief address outlining the policies of the League and felicitating the officers of the local office, formally turned over the good will, assets and responsibilities of the local New York executive board; which prior to this time had not been incorporated and for that reason did not carry an account or hold personal property in its own name.
Fred R. Moore, chairman of the local New York Finance committee, and one of the original members of the League, made the response in the name of the local board and staff. He spoke of the history of One organization and stated that the people of New York appreciated fully the contribution to the community lift of the greater city which the National Urban League had made in establishing a model Urban League in New York and then turning it over to the local people as their own possessions. He said that he felt certain; that New Yorkers would continue to support the work morally and financially and would share their means with the national movement in appreciation of this flavor.
Officers of the national organization are: L. Hollingworth Wood, chairman; Robert R. Moton, John T. Emlen and Kelly Miller, vice-chairman; William H. Baldwin, third secretary; A. S. Frissell, treasurer. The local New York officers are: Miss Elizabeth Walton, chairman; P. R. Roberts, vice-chairman; Mrs. Albert J. Erdmann, secretary; A. S. Frissell, treasurer.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1920.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The significance of this meeting in that you are young Southern white men and women," said Mrs. Booker T. Washington in addressing the twenty or more Phoebe Stokes Fellows and professors in Southern universities who met recently at Tuskegee Institute, "and you are going to live in the South, which will give you an opportunity to do much good in bringing about better relations between the races.
"I remember hearing Mr. Washington and one of his Southern white friends discussing one of his another white man of standing influence and importance. This friend was telling Mr. Washington how the man they were discussing had changed in his attitude Negro. It please that he be added. It is such a city that we waited until he was an old before changing. With his influence and power, just think what he would have accomplished for the cause while he was young and active."
"That in the reason I am so glad you are studying this problem with your minds and hearts open while you are young."
the fact that, although we are over fifty years removed from slavery, in many of the Southern home sufficient attention is not given to the question of providing life for the colored girl who are employed as domestic servants. I remember some time ago I received a letter from a city in the South in which the request was made for a colored girl to work in the home and when I wrote the lady and asked her what provision would be made for the girl to sleep and bathe and for some thing of home life for herself, she replied that she thought the girl could find some place to live in the community but she, of course, was not sure.
Domestic Service Unpopular.
Women Must Work Out Problem
One of the speakers who preceded Mrs. Washington was Miss Ruth Reed of Gainesville, Ga., who is a Philapla Spokes Fellow at the University of Georgia and she suggested a joint study of the problem by the white and colored women of the South.
Mrs. Washington in her remarks concurred in this suggestion and added: "The stand which the Southern white woman takes in the question will in the last analysis determine the attitude of the Southern white man." Then she told of the splendid work of the white Federation of Women's Clubs of Georgia in arousing and spreading a strong sentiment against lynching and mob violence.
Mrs. Washington also referred to Miss Reed's comment on the Negro woman and domestic service, "Home life," said Mrs. Washington, "was not a part of the system of slavery, so I am afraid that much of the misunderstanding between the servant and the mistress in the Southern homes has been due to

the fact that, although we are over fifty years removed from slavery, in many of the Southern home sufficient attention is not given to the question of providing home life for the colored girl who are employed as domestic servants. "I remember some time ago I received a letter from a city in the South in which the request was made for a colored girl to work in the home and when I wrote the lady and asked her what provision would be made for the girl to sleep and bathe and for something of home life for herself, she replied 'that she thought the girl could find some place to live in the community but she, of course, was not sure.'
"Y refer to this letter because these describes a condition which is doing much to make domestic service unpopular among the educated and well trained Negro girls. Our schools, our current literature and our organizations for social welfare are all emphasizing care of the children, protection of girls and model home life. These to my mind emphasize the importance of providing as much home life as possible for the girls in domestic service in order to attract colored women who are being trained in school like Tuskegee." "Frequently," added Mrs. Washington, "our students here go into domestic service as a means to an end, but some of them have had experiences such as I have indicated which has caused them to make up their minds to do school teaching or any other work rather than do domestic service. If I had time to relate some of the experiences of these young women, of their neglect, of their exposure, and of their loneliness you would understand some of the reasons why the problem of domestic help is so aggravated at present."
