Chicago, Jan. — The muted trombone and cornet, the syncopated music and the jazz band have had their day, according to Robert G. McCutechon, the fine artist of the Dewau University, and secretary of the national Association of Music Teachers. "Jazz was born of the war," said Mr. McCutechon. "It was an echo of the nation's hysteria. It came in on the wave to the dancing crazie, but it is fast being abandoned in favor of good music. Music, especially communal music, added a panacea for our social life." It would dissolve the vapors of holocaust and would supply the emotionalism formerly afforded by strong drink. Mr. McCutechon also stated that the movies have done much to popularize music in America, and that the appeal and more by being recognized more and mand for music teachers, especially in the rural districts, is far sheed of the supply." Pastor of New Garretts Memorial Church REV. R. K. D. GARRETT THOUSANDS OUT OF JOBS IN CHICAGO THOUSANDS OUT OF JOBS IN CHICAGO Out of 5,000 Applying for Positions During December, Only 600 Were Given Employment More than 5,000 people came to the offices of the Chicago Urban League or employment during the month of April, and an increase of over 100 per cent the average attendance figures of the employment Department. Of this 5,000 people actually placed in positions. Thus, while our attendance showed an increase of more than 100 per cent, our placements showed a decrease of 50 per cent. Unemployment is greater among men than among women. Of the women calling for employment, 12 per cent were placed as against 8 per cent of the men; 13 per cent of the women and women placed was smaller than for any month. In the month of November, 1919, with an attendance of 2,380, we placed 51 per cent of our men and women as persons. Those figures only indicate that there has been no improvement in the unemployment situation in Chicago. In fact, as the month advanced concomitantly, the growth was. At the present the League finds itself out hope to the large number of unemployed. From indications, it is safe to predict that not before the first of the year will any material change be made in employment situation. It was never made before jobs than at present. The League has never experienced greater difficulty in interesting employers than at the present time. The diversity of employment to colored people is more limited than at any time since 1910. Last week the League called the attention of the pastors of the city to this unusual situation and gave them the opportunity to so can the masters having them emphasize to their congregations the seriousness of the affair, and the necessity of remaining on their jobs and making good. Plans to confer with the masters into conference with the masters concerted effort will be made to urge serious consideration on the part of the colored population to conditions which can in many respects be imputed to the masters' efficiency are recognized as essential in industrial advancement.

VIRGINIA NORMAL WILL RUN FOUR QUARTERS Petersburg. — Arrangements have been made by which the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg will hereafter run four quarters of the summer months and will offer an unusual opportunity to graduates of high schools who desire to take courses while teaching in the winter; to teachers who are already in service to pursue courses leading to the Institute's diploma and a higher certificate; and to those students who are deficient in without offering their deficiencies so as to enable them to graduate with their classes. All courses, if demands are made for them, will be offered each quarter. Students can thus enter the Institute without offering their deficiencies at the beginning of each quarter and graduates will eventually be sent out at the close of each quarter. This arrangement will keep the doors of the institute open the "year round" and graduates at least a third more of students. This plan will offer an unusual opportunity to that large body of teachers who desire to work for the Institute of Education, and who desire to work more than they now hold. Those teachers who hold the Elementary Professional Certificate can pursue courses leading to a Normal Professional Certificate. Courses will be offered also leading to the Elementary Professional Certificate and the Elementary Professional Certificate. The full High School Course, Agricultural Course, Home Economics Course, the various Normal School Courses leading to the Elementary Professional Course, the various High School grades, and high schools will be offered in the summer quarter. The regular Home Economics Course that satisfies the requirements of the Department of Home Economics will also be offered. Special Courses will be offered in physical education for those teachers who desire to qualify for directors of play grounds and leaders in physical education. Special Courses will also remain open during the summer quarter. Those who are interested in the opportunities offered by this arrangement will write at once to the President of the Institute for full particulars.

Savannah, Ga.—There is quite a little comment going on relative to an anonymous letter received by the reprinted letter has been published in the daily letter and the recorder turned the original over to the postal authorities. The letter is published exactly as written, and while the English is not the language of the queens, it very clearly answers the questions for Memphis Appeal, newspaper recently had an editorial under the caption: "What's In the Back of the Negro's Head." Even the more ignorant of the race are thinking in terms of what is just and what is not. Says the letter: "Recorder Swhatz:—I am going to see what you are going to do with aristocratic white men of your class and with colored men of our race, if it had been our Colored man burned and murdered a white man of your class, why you yourself has ordered out your whole force of blood-hounds and by her every Colored man the right and the wrong and I suspect you are in your chair. As a judge, you are not worthy of your chair, because you are less than a gentleman to let white men murder the Colored men who are doing what you do? What could you do with the men? "You can get up nothing unless a Negro is in it. Your family can do without a Negro, but still a Negro is not more than a dog in your sight. But you must remember that God is above you and He knows, and when he come to judge He will be judge by you. You must be going to judge you mighty hard, because you had caused a man of our Colored men and boys to sweat and lose their freedom, and you take a crime from a white man and put it on a Colored man, and you all beat our Colored women over the head with quick as quick as you would kill a snake. But remember, your day is coming. ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT (By The Association Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., J. C.

Five were converted, as the New year came in, and five united with the church. It was a glorious start, and on Sunday the good work was kept up.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1921 MEN OF LETTERS IN OUR SCHOOLS OF HIGHER EDUCATION By men of letters we mean, of course, those who devote themselves entirely to the making of books, of which King Solomon said there was no end. We hope there may never be. Schools of higher education are supposed more than any other influences to encourage and foster the activity of such men, mostly of their faculties, and are made famous, largely, by the literary researches and publications of their graduates and members of their faculties. A college or university faculty that produces no scholars, no men of letters, no specialists in some one of the many branches of literature, is a very indifferent institution, and will be so rated by the learned. Afro-Americans have not produced nor fostered many scholars. They have had to grow up to that high point in their work, and they are far from being so now as generally as they should, for the good of their institutions and the race for which they stand. In this department of effort Howard University, Atlanta University and Wilberforce University have made a start, after a fashion, and we may expect more of them and of our other colleges as we go along, in original research work, say, in special scientific work, and in pure literature, which may be said to consist of historical, biographical, fictional and poetical work. Prof. W. S. Scarborough led off years ago at Wilberforce University by giving us a Greek grammar and a version of the "Birds of Aristophenes," and Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, while a professor of Atlanta University, did some social and biographical writing that commanded attention. Prof. Kelly Miller has given us a regular output of fugitive matter, none of it the highest literature, and he keeps pegging way at it, and deserves an account of that, well of all of us for his efforts to produce something worth while and for his persistence. We are led to say so much on this subject at this time because of the announcement just made in a bulletin from Howard University, at Washington, in which it is stated that Dr. E. E. Just was to be one of the speakers, in itself a splendid honor, at the eighteenth annual meeting of the Society of American Zoologists, in the last days of December, his subject being "The Primary Event in Fertilization." The Bulletin says of Dr. Just: "Dr. Just's experiments during the past summer are reported to have brought him closer than any scientist in the world to the original sources of life, and it is at the coming meeting of the American Society of Zoologists that Dr. Just will explain in detail some of the results he has obtained in the field of experimental embryology. He will also represent Howard University at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to be held in Chicago during the same week (December 28-30). Scientists representing every phase of original research will be attending these meetings." It is to be hoped that our university people will devote more of their time in the future than they have in the past to original research and other branches of literature. If we can't have the highest and best intellectual thought and effort of our schools of higher education, where the professors spend their lives in an atmosphere of intellectuality and books, where shall we have it? Excellence in literature is great gain, as it gives a people a standing among the people who do the thinking for the world, as all progress is predicated upon an intelligent grasp of the facts of life and the welding them into realities for the best interests of mankind. HATTI AND THE BUSINESS LEAGUE Haiti is waking up. It is waking to the fact that it is not good for a people related, as they are, with the Afro-Americans to hold themselves aloof from them in any of the affairs of life. The attitude of the Haitians has been changed by the phenomenal business development of the Afro-American people since the organization of the National Negro Business League, in Boston, in 1900. The Haitians have taken the position heretofore that the least they should have to do with the Afro-American people, socially, in business, diplomatically, or otherwise, the better it would be for them, as in all of these matters Afro-Americans were negligible while the white Americans were everything. It was a selfish view, and the bite the American people have given the Haitian people under the administration of President Wilson shows that, given the chance, the sergeant will always sing to kill. We say so much because the Haitians are now seeking trade relations with the Afro-American people, the writer having had a long conference with a Haitian business person on the subject, in New York, in October, last. Now it is announced from the headquarters of the National Negro Business League that a prominent Haitian business man has suggested that the name of the organization should be changed to the International Negro Business League. The suggestion should be adopted. The league should have delegates from the West Indies, South and Central America, and Africa. Trade and other relations with the people of those countries should be developed and cultivated to the utmost of the policy of the National Afro-American League. It is the business of the darker races of the world to draw closer together in all things that affect them. INSPIRATION FOR WEST AFRICANS Bishop Matthew Wesley Clair, one of the two Afro-American Bishops elected by the Des Moines Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has gone to his post of work in West Africa. He will replace the late Bishop Camphor in that field. He carries with him two experts, one in the missionary work of West Africa, and one in agriculture. Bishop Clair is a man of mark. His career as a member of the District Conference comprising the City of Washington marked him as such. He made Asbury Church a tremendous power for good in the life of the people of Washington. His going to West Africa as the Bishop of his church should be an inspiration to the West Africans. We think that it will be. We hope that it will be. We are confident that Bishop Clair will labor to make it so. Norfolk Community Center The workers of the Community Service at the Girls' Center on Princess Anne Ave. wish to thank those who helped them to carry out successfully their plans for Christmas.

LONG BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH The Bank Street Baptist church began the New Year with a feeling of good fellowship and with many happy indications of progress and real Christian services. The first of the installation sermons of the newly elected pastor, Rev. C. M. Long, who informally assumed the pastorate on the first Sunday in December, 1920, was preached by Rev. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va. Rev. Graham selected as his text, Psalms 133:1—"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." As usual the services were largely attended and there is no doubt that all were greatly benefited by the discourse of the distinguished visitor. In the evening the congregation gathered together again, and in great solitude observed the keeping of the Lord's Supper. The collection for the day, $211.00. Next Sunday, Rev. Joseph R. Henderson, of Union University, will preach both morning and evening. The church and pastor extend a very cordial welcome to all who wish to worship with them at any time.

W. C. A., and his wife, quite a helpful address to the young people, telling them to have aspirations for the higher things in life. It was well taken, and was commented on by different ones present. Mrs. Hinton will also arrange the program for Sunday, January 9th. This program will be made up of the young people only, and a rare treat is promised to the youngest churches and organizations will constitute the participants. All friends are invited. HOLY TEMPLE On Wednesday night of last week was a most joyful one for the little ones of Holy Temple Sunday school, Supt. A. D. Smith and his corps of teachers had busied themselves and arranged a most beautiful and handsome tree all bedecked and laden with gifts and fruit, candies, nuts, etc., for the pupils, who enjoyed them to their hearts content. Also a fine program had been arranged, consisting of solos by Miss Marie Smith and Mrs. Virginia Billups, ecitations, songs, little bishops and how well they have been trained, and bespoke for the church a growing one in the future. The school is certainly doing great work and needs encouragement for the future success. The Holy Angel Quartette rendered some fine selections for the occasion, together with the choruses by the Sunday school, and all who were present were not forgotten by Santa Claus, for he gave each one a token for their attendance and wished them a Happy New Year. Now, in return he wants to welcome them at the Sunday school on each Sunday morning, so by next Christmas he can attend the Words of encouragement for the superintendent, teachers and school were given by Deacons Taylor, Carotte, Delk, Lawrence, also Mr. Brodie who wishes for the school in the future God's blessing, and may they be crowned with success, for their work must go on and on to perfection. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST All the services in the church were well attended. The first Sunday in the year brought out a goodly number to our early morning prayer meeting. The Sunday school opened at 9:30, with a larger number than usual present. We expect this to be a banner year in. Sunday school attendance. At the 11:30 service, the pastor preached on the subject, "A Borrowed Axe," taking his text from 2 Kings 6.5. He mentioned how the material world is run on the principle and of borrowing one from another, and laid emphasis upon the fact that we cannot live and thrive alone, either materially or spiritually. He said that pride is the cause of much suffering because of the being ashamed to borrow and let our condition be known; that we should follow the divine injunction to love our neighbor with high respect to the choir sang "O Give Me Your Hand." The congregation joined in, and nine persons came forward to join the church. Immediately after the morning ser- NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE OUS NEWS :- STREET BAPTIST CHURCH vice the funeral of Sister Lavinia Freeman was preached by the pastor.

Ten members of the choir joined in the church. The Lord greatly blessed our effort on the first Sunday of the year, with nineteen accessions and a collection of $440.74. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION The services held in our church on last Sunday were largely attended and truly interesting. Last Sunday was "Go To Sunday School Day" in our Sabbath school, and we were more than elated to note the increase in our enrollment last Sunday, and our endeavour to get a larger number of membership in Sunday school, and shall continue this campaign during the month of January. Will you be present on next Sabbath? At the morning preaching hour we did not have any preaching, but we had a glorious love feast and testimonial service, after which the Lord's Sunday service was delivered, and a large number partook of the service, there were seven accessions at this service, and one child baptized. At the evening preaching hour the pastor, Rev. N. D., King, filled his pulpit and delivered a strong practical Gospel message that struck a responsive chord. He bitterly demonized sin from every angle, and beautifully depicted that to be a consistent Christian to have to live above the sins of the world. Collection for the day, $107.99. Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services. ST. LUKE C. M. E. CHURCH The services at St. Luke church last Sunday were largely attended.

The pastor at 11:30 preached a powerful sermon to a well attended congregation of people, after which the Holy Communion was had, and all left for their homes filled with the Holy Spirit. At 7:30, Rev. Baskin filled the pulpit and his sermon was very much inspiring and helpful to those who had been there. Our doors are always opened to visitors and strangers, especially sailors and soldiers of the Army and Navy. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A get-together meeting, unparalleled in the history of the church, was held Wednesday evening, December 29th, in the home of the pastor, by the male officials of the church. An outline of the work to be followed during the year was enthusiastically and prayerfully discussed, after which a toothsome repast was served. A membership of the intensive and extensive membership campaign, which continues thru February 6th, under the slogan, "Every one win one for Sthrist and the Church." This effort calls for personal interest on the part of the members and friends. Rev. Bowling delivered a soul searching sermon at the morning service, from the subject, "Spared for Another Year." Text, Luke 13:8. This discourse caused each individual to take a retrospective of misdeeds and the events during the service with a focus of correcting the evils and attaining greater success through Christ. There were 14 accessions and one was happily converted during this service. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended. All officers were re-elected for the next ensuing term. The Holy Spirit was again in evidence in the evening service. The pastor diverted a burning message --- from the subject, "Saving Faith" Text, Luke 7:50. After the sermon an old fashioned prayer and song service was conducted in which there were nine conversions and three accessions to the church. Get concerned about your unsaved friends. Bring them to the morning and evening services. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E.

The lesson was very interesting, as we explained the "Circumcision of Jesus Christ," during the Sunday school hour. We had presided over the lesson of South Africa, who enjoyed the lesson and spoke to the Sunday school. The morning service was crowded and many partook of the Holy Communion. The sermon was beautiful and rich, with much food, and we are certain that it was acceptably received. The above named gentleman spoke to the congregation concerning his experience of the circumcision, went home to the hearts of everybody and the ready response was determined by a splendid offering. We have started the year with special blessings and we do pray God's continued gifts on the church and community and do hope that all Christians will do their best in searching out vice and a real cleaning up of the church. The church services are open for all. Come, every one. May God bless you. MT. ZION A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday school met at the regular hour last Sunday, and was well attended.

David Tish, of Middle Drift, South Africa, was our distinguished speaker. He used these words for a theme: "The World's Great Need of the Gospel." All who did not attend church Sunday missed a Gospel treat. It was quite a joy to have a native born African talk to us. We have been taught about Africa. Everybody present was compelled to say as Rev. Tish spoke. "It is good for us to be here." Next Sunday, Rev. S. S. Morris will fill our pulpit both morning and night. Beginning Monday night, January 3rd, Rev. Mills will conduct a week of Thanksgiving services. Come and bring one with you. On Monday night, January 10th, will be our class leaders' contest.

This report gives statistics and problems and policies relating to the greater inclusion of Negro wage earners in American industry during the World War and the first ten months of reconstruction. There is a summary of observations on Negro women in industry. The report gives a brief account of the advisory and conciliatory service carried out by means of State advisers under Dr. George E. Haynes, adviser to the Secretary of Labor on matters relating to Negro workers and their relations to white workers and employers. The plans and activities of the Department of Labor in using this means for dealing with these matters have produced information and experiences of instructive value for State and local approach to these questions. WORKING, SAVING AND INVESTING (By George W. Blount) Individually and collectively, if we spend all that we earn it indicates that we are lacking in the habits of thrift and economy; to spend more than we earn is to invite financial disaster. The only financially sound course to pursue is to maintain a reasonable safe financial margin between "a prosperous today and an uncertain tomorrow." There is constant and wide-spread complaint of the extravagance of American Negroes, and inasmuch as there is some truth in the statement—there is precious little consolation in the thought that "We are, in that respect just like other people." It may be that other people can afford to be extravagant (?). Can we afford it? Many of us think it is shameful to be considered economical and thrifty. It is far better to WORK hard, SAVE regularly, and INVEST in good securities and be considered "stingy" than to be identified with the thriftless persons who are blind to their future needs. It is an interesting study to watch the lines of depositors going toward the windows of banks, Christmas savings clubs, building and loan associations, and insurance companies. By working, saving, and investing in good securities, these men, women, boys and girls are establishing for themselves financial protection against the rainy day which will eventually come to each of us—if it has not already come to some of us (?). In every section of the country one can easily tell the working, saving, investing, far-thinking, and far-seeing Negroes by the number of well-built churches, banks, Christmas savings clubs, building and loan associations, its life insurance policy-holders and the percentage of homes owned by them, and the amount of money invested in racial stock companies or co-operative enterprises. It is only by buying shares of stock in them that it is possible for us to have stock companies or co-operative business enterprises of any nature to which we delight in pointing toward with pride of race as we pass in and out of them. Each time we pass and point we should ask ourselves the question—"How much am I doing to ward making that business possible?" We must more and more encourage and cultivate the working, saving, and investing habits. We should think carefully before we spend all the money we earn. Every dollar saved and invested wisely and is earning interest or a dividend adds to our peace of mind, self-respect, pride of race, and contributes substantially to the economic strength and financial security of the American Negroes individually and collectively. MOYE-THOMAS WEDDING A very pretty wedding took place on November 24th at the Grove Baptist church, Churchland, when Mrs. Nannie B. Thomas became the bride. Mrs. Thomas was attired in a white georgette trimmed with beads and carried a bouquet of bride's roses.

The brideroom is a well-known business man of Norfolk. Rev. R. H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist church, was the officiating minister. At present Mr. and Mrs. Boone will make their home at 1034 Church street, this city. THE SPIRIT OF JUSTICE It is the opinion of the Associated Negro Press that Justice is Justice wherever it may be found. It is a recognized fact that justice in the South has been sorely tried so far as our group is concerned. But we believe that it is just as much out of place for us to prochish justice and then deny it to others, as it is for others to deny it to us. Two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, it is the absolute policy of the Associated Negro Press to give credit to the South when the South deserves it, as in some instances it does. We do not think it just or without consent to say that the South is ALL WRONG ALL THE TIME THAN IT IS FOR THE SAME SOUTH TO SAY THE RACE WHICH WE BELONG TO IS ALL WRONG ALL THE TIME. Without necessarily calling any names, "Give the devil his dues." IF CONGRESS TACKLE THE MOB Columbia (S. C.) State If lynching continues to increase in the United States it is probable that Congress will enact legislation with the aim of trying men guilty of it, in the federal courts; which is not saying that such legislation will run the court successfully of the United States Supreme Court. The State has more than once pointed out that the neglect of the people of the several States to put an end to lynching would sooner or later endanger the right of the State to try and punish its own citizens charged with crimes. The lynching evil will have to cease in this country or its civilization will perish. "THANK YOU" Spartansburg (S. C.) Herald The recent series of crimes in this and adjoining counties of upper South Carolina, have not involved any of the colored population. The colored citizen is not implicated so far, and it is but fair to call attention to the fact that the colored brother has so far stayed out of the carnival of stealing and murder. He has at least not been conspicuous in the criminal news of recent wakes. All of which is to his credit. MISS ESTELLE BROWS Miss Fatelle Brown departed this life Saturday, December 18th, at the Fieldmont Sanctuary, where she gave two months of medical funeral was held at St. Mary's Church, December 23rd, Rev.

The paper points out that the increase in the white population has been 35.1 per cent while the Negroes have increased 34.2 per cent. HARRISBURG, VA. The holiday season in our city has been marked by the ringing of not only Christmas and dinner bells, but also the sweet sound of the piano and the music of the orchestra.

The Board of Directors of the Derrick business School, realizing that Southern girls are more alive to business needs and requirements—more anxious for a course—than their peers, have decided to advantage of additional expense for railroad fare, lodgings and other incidental items, has decided that they will until January 10, offer a very special inducement to all Southern students desiring to take this wonderful Boyd's 30-Day System of Shorthand and Typewriting, or Bookkeeping, Office Practice and Filling.

C., Savannah Wage Earner's Savings Bank, Tidewater Bank, New York, and Marshfield, many others have sent young people to the school, paying their tuition so that they could return to fill high-salaried positions after six to ten weeks of study.
