Paul Minnesota LARGE GIFT OF MEMORIAL FOR CHILDWELFARE Fund Will Be Used for Research Work Over Five-Year Period. A gift of $245,000 to the University of Minnesota from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial to support for five years an Institute of Child Welfare was announced Saturday by Dr. F. J. Kelly, dean of administration. Of the total, $49,000 will be available annually for the term and the sum of $5,000 has been made available immediately for the purchase of equipment. Main problems of the institute, said to be unique among educational research ventures, will' be the study of the psychology and physical well being of children of the pre-school age, Dr. Kelly said. Work of the institute will be linked up with the present departments of home economics, education, psychology, physiology, anatomy, pediatrics, psychiatry, sociology and nursing and the results and findings of its researches will be made available through the general extension division of the university. An infants' home, in which a number of children above the age of two weeks and a day nursery school in which children up to five years of age may be studied, will be established when the institute gets under way, Dean Kelly said. The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial is one of the large endowments created by the Rockefeller family, its field being chiefly the social sciences. Rotary Club to Help Saint Paul Colored Youths Rotary Club to Help Saint Paul Colored Youths At the monthly meeting of the St. Paul Urban League the Secretary, E. A. Carter, announced that the Boys' Work Committee of the Rotary Club would extend their Vocational Guidance Program to include young colored boys selected by the Urban League. This marks the result of Mr. Carter's speech to the Rotarians last week, when he made a plea for colored men and boys in industry. In his report the executive secretary outlined the employment situation in St. Paul and made the following statement from the files of the league for the past month: Registered for Employment: Male 31 Female 22 Total 53 Applications for Help: Male 6 Female 6 Total 12 Applications for Work Filled: Male 17 Female 8 Total 25 This is, 49 per cent of those who applied for jobs to the Urban League were employed through the Urban League office during the month of March.

At 2:30 p. m. services were held at St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Rev. Father Lealtad officiating. Mrs. Pettit leaves a husband and daughter, and a host of friends, to mourn her loss. ANNUAL CHILD HEALTH DAY OBSERVED St. Anthony Baptist Church Holds Evangelistic Meetings Successfully A NEW BULLETIN-APPEAL The Bulletin-Appeal is formulating plans to increase in size from a four-page paper to eight pages. It has outgrown its present quarters and contemplates moving into a more commodious home. It will add new type and another modern press to its equipment to meet the growing demand of its job printing department. It realizes that it is not covering as intensively as it should the territory contiguous to the Twin Cities. We intend to keep a traveling representative for active field work in this section of the Northwest. In our new location we will be equipped to do printing of every description, from a business card to a theatrical poster in colored ink. Incorporation papers are being prepared for the purpose of increasing its capital and extending its usefulness. The public will be given an opportunity to purchase shares of stock and have a voice in a fast growing enterprise. A competent board of directors to be elected by the votes of the stock holders will give each a voice in the corporation. The Twin Cities will share in the migration from the South of colored labor in the near future. We anticipate the population to double in both cities within the next two years. With the faith of this belief we are extending the public an opportunity to share with us in the profits and prosperity of the Northwest's leading newspaper and most modern printing plant. St. Anthony Baptist Church JOHN H. BURKE Rev. C. B. Burton National Negro Trade Week to Be Observed From May 4th to the 9th is sponsored by the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, is president, and Mr. Fred D. McCracken, St. Paul, is regional director for Minnesota. The object of trade week is to focus attention of the community upon Negro business enterprises. The campaign will be arranged formally by Mr. McCracken, of which an outline will be published in the next issue of the Bulletin-Apeal. MILL CITY N. A. A. C. P. TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold their Annual Spring Meeting beginning their 1000 membership rally April 26, at St. Peters A. M. E.

Smith, president, will preside. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY APRIL 25, 1925 The evangelistic meeting which is being conducted by Rcv. C. B. Burton at St. Anthony Baptist Church, 12th and Emerson Ave. North, Minneapolis, is having success, according to Christ's own words, "There is joy in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than ninety-nine that needeth no repentance." So far one has been converted, therefore that joy is the text of this news item. Rev. Burton will drive straight through until Friday night, April 25, with a prayer meeting. Sunday night he will preach a special sermon, picturing the narrow span between God and man, life and death. Every Christian that has the welfare of the soul of man at heart is invited to come and bring some sinner with him. This Gospel is being preached for the unsaved. It is the duty of every Christian to bring some sinner to the Gospel feast, if not their blood be upon you. "Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of these little ones, ye have done it unto me." "Come and hear this voice of one crying in the wilderness, repent ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Interest Growing In Union Revival Of City Churches The Union Revival is progressing nicely and bids fair to be a great success. With six churches interested, giving their undivided support, it is felt that the city should be awakened to support such an evangelistic program at this time. Dr. Bacote is an able expounder of the Gospel, resourceful and effective in his appeals. All the churches are going to dispense with their meetings Sunday night and hold a great meeting at St. James. On Monday night the meetings will begin at Pilgrim, lasting for an indefinite time. MINNEAPOLIS BRANCH TO HOLD BIG SPRING MEET The Minneapolis branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its first big spring meeting Sunday afternoon, April 26, at St. Peter's A.

PAUL MOTHERS TO ATTEND MEET AT AUDITORIUM TODAY Parents Largely to Blame for Physical Habits. The fourth annual Child Health Day will be held at the St. Paul Auditorium today, April 25. Local mothers have in the past evinced considerable pride and interest in exhibiting their offspring in open contest. The object of this worthy project is educational and means much for the welfare of the race. To learn rules of hygiene relative to maternity and motherhood is most important. The proper control and training of a child's life for a least the first ten years determines the formation of inerrant habits and its future state. The habits of eating and sleeping, the care of the skin and teeth, and the general conduct of life in the early formulative periods if properly looked after the future health may be regarded with complacency. In fact these habits determine the length of life. Good habits are as easily acquired as bad habits. Parents through a lack of knowledge of the responsibility of parenthood are largely to blame for both bad mental and physical habits. The old Greek aphorism "know thyself" is pregnant of wisdom applicable to human conduct and the physical well being of the individual. The Bulletin-Apale heartily approves of the Child Health Day movement, and would urge general participation by members of the race. Brass Band and String Orchestra Will Organize Benj. T. Penn, the organizer of the De Luxe Syncopators, is extending an invitation to all musicians of the Twin Cities to meet him at Travis' (Thann's), 40 E. Third St., Sunday, May 2 at 2 P.M. P 2. at 2 P. M. sharp. Mr. Penn, an experienced band and orchestra leader for years, is known in many cities in the East as an organizer of young bands and orchestras. He has also been reproducer and musical director for many professional companies, such as musical comedies, minstrels, etc. He is qualified to write, arrange, or teach all musical instruments. All that is required to become a member of this band is to have a little knowledge of the rudiments of music. The purpose of this meeting is to organize and find out just how many instruments and how many musicians we have, and a rehearsal date will be announced, which will be once a week. You will not have to pay any teacher's fee; all the expense you will be put to is to buy your music or pay for a little advertising, which will not amount to over 50 cents a month each, if that much. Don't forget the place, the date and the hour. For more particulars call Benj. T. Penn, Elkhurst 4000. Pittsburg, Pa.—Announcement has been made by the committee in charge that it expects to send a check for $15,000 to the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a national school for our youth located at Ridge, Maryland.

Over 700 Registered. Over 700 individuals are registered in the House program. The aggregate attendance for last month was 3,016; number club meetings, 97; number baths, 165 (not withstanding we only have 4 showers).

It would be absolutely impossible to carry on such a program were it (Continued on page four) Men's Fellowship Club Presents Big Program The meeting of the Men's Fellowship Club at Pilgrim-on the Hill on last Monday night was a rousing affair. After the business session of the club, Mr. Mundell's entertainment committee presented Mr. J. E. Murphy in two song numbers, one an original and humorous skit on some of the church members; Mrs. Herbert Foster in a whimsical, original reading; and Mr. Leonard Oliver in two violin solos. The boys of Mr. Bollings' club staged three three-minute bouts and a final bout of four rounds. These were exciting affairs. Howard Barksdale and Chester Oden boxed to a draw. William Lawrence won a decision over Sherman Few and Richard Smith won from Herman Few. Hunter Vassar took two rounds, James Robinson one, and the other round was a draw in the wind-up fray. Several of the University students joined the club and these young men also planned the organization of a quartette. Candidate for Judge Of Municipal Court M. Gale P.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY A.C.P. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS SIGNS LETTER ANSWERS STUDENT DEMANDS EFFECTIVE JUNE 30 Constructive Program Under Way to Preserve Serious Damage to Endowment Fund. New York, April 24.—It became officially known here Tuesday that Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, president of Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., has resigned as head of that institution. His resignation did not come as a surprise to those who had inside information on the situation at Fisk, as it was the consensus of opinion that his usefulness as an educator among our people had ended. According to reports, the resignation is effective June 30. The board of trustees of the university went into session here Monday with the advisory committee selected from the alumni. It consisted of Miss Sophia Boaz, Chicago, Ill.; Dr. Henry H. Proctor, Brooklyn, N. Y., Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala.; Dr. John M. Gandy, Petersburg, Va.; Prof. T. N. Inborden, Enfield, N. C., and James H. Robinson, Cincinnati, Ohio. Measures were discussed along the lines of obliterating the stain and odium that the university had suffered in the past six months, and a constructive program is under way to regain the goodwill of the public to prevent serious damage to the endowment fund which has been subscribed but not collected. Woman Resident of St. Paul Forty Years Dies Mrs. Elizabeth Kellum died April 18th, and was buried from St. James A. M. E. Church April 21st.

She leaves a daughter, Mrs. Sabie Bridges; a son, Alfred Kellum; four grand children; ten great grand children, and a host of friends to mourn her passing. The funeral services were held at St. James A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. H. Griffin officiating, assisted by Rev. T. B. Stovall. Beautiful solos were rendered by Mrs. Emma Archer and Mrs. Rosa Bush. Mrs. T. H. Lyles had charge of the funeral. Sterling Club Has Woman's Auxiliary The Sterling Club is the last of our local institutions to acquire tagible assets. Like the other clubs of the city with club houses and civic programs, the Sterling Club has a Womans' Auxiliary, open to the wives, mothers, and unmarried sisters or daughters of members. Last Tuesday they demonstrated their social popularity by crowding the clubhouse with guests to a Hostess 500 party. The prizes were donated by Doctors Turner, Crump, Crostwhaite, and Weber; Mr. McGavoc, undertaker, Alexander's Sweet Shop and Elmer Morris druggist. The Sterling Womans' Auxiliary will use their funds in the future, as in the past, to purchase utilities and decorations for the club house. Their civic program will include bringing prominent persons to appear before our group. They believe in the Bulletin- Appeal watch-word, "Co-operation." SET UP NEW LODGE OF MASONS IN MINNEAPOLIS W.

I not all one Father; hath not one God real treacherously every man against his venant of our fathers? (Malachi ii, Have we not all one Father; hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, and profane the covenant of our fathers? (Malachi ii. 10.) RACIAL INHARMONY Primordial anthropography discloses that the genus of mankind was singular and the same. Evolution and divers causes brought about a differentiation that is commonly accepted as species. Lack of harmony is inherent in the human race. The five divisions of mankind vary ethnologically. Primitively, these varying types formed into groups and the groups into units or nations. The nations multiplied in number, and through the influence of climatic conditions and necessity showed signs of progress. Driven by hunger and want primitive man was taught the method of sustaining life from the soil and living creatures. To survive exertion was necessary, and exertion expended energy that was irksome to the indolent. The more thrifty prospered in proportion to their industry and the shiftless preyed upon the prosperous. Predatory desire created theft and jealousy—two of the worst evils in the world. When one nation resisted intrusion of another it led to mortal conflict—war and racial hatred. The victor subjugated the weaker and enslaved it—and thus brought another evil into being. Growth and development of prehistoric man has been painfully slow from the dark ages down to the present civilization, but the evil characteristics remain unchanged and are practiced in every day contact. The late World War had its origin in the same evils that prompted the early nations to wage combats of extermination—jealousy, predaciousness and racial hatred. The scenes of history, it is true, have been the subject of constant change. The dominant nation after a period of luxury of illicit gain, succumbed to the combined force of its adversaries and became a subject nation. And history will continue to repeat itself until nations expurge the heritage of evil and adopt a course of loving one another What is true of the nation is also true of the individuals who compose the nation. They are confronted with intra-racial problems. Factional elements, political, religious, social caste, capital and labor, are the cause of internal strife and division among all the nations on earth. These potent forces of destruction can be traced to primitive man—back to jealousy and hatred. Yet, of all the peoples in the world today, the colored people in America can least afford to be antagonistic. The peculiar circumstances that surround them, owing to the fact that they are emerging from an eclipse of 250 years of enslavement into the light of a civilization that offers beneficient relief. Sixty years of emancipation is but a day in the history of a people, and while proud of achievement, they have not advanced far enough to be judged as to their qualifications or possibilities. This race stands at a ratio of ten per cent of the population of the nation. Originally dark—black and brown—it is now composed of many shades of color, that serve as an odium to the detriment of the individual regardless of everything else that he may possess. At every turn the dark face is confronted with the white man's bayonet of prejudice that retards his progress and the enjoyment of the freedom of citizenship. These are actual facts—they are conditions and not theories. Then why is there not more unity, more harmony, among the race, since their interest is a common one? The rise of one member in the social or civic order elevates the entire race—the fall of one from the heights degrades it. Petty jealousy, enmity, animosity, is not confined to the illiterate, but is shared mostly by the literate, who are in a position to do the most harm. A man of the race succeeds in business or a profession through sheer force of individual effort and ability, but his success is belittled and criticized by educated gossips. A man or woman of the race aspires for an appointment to an unusual office for which they are fitted, and from unexpected quarters comes the slime of the serpent of jealousy. A man or woman may seek to exercise the prerogative of citizenship and become a candidate for public office, possessing the requisite qualifications, and by so doing arouses the enmity of people in the community unknown to the aspirant. Even professed friends are guilty of being responsible for an under-current of opposition in an effort to thwart the ambition of a deserving citizen by causing defeat. If the race is to succeed, it must be united. There is a principle at stake which is paramount to personal dislike. The success of one should arouse pride and inspiration in others to a higher goal in life. The man who will not lay aside the animosity that he entertains against an individual member of his group for the benefit of that group is an enemy and a traitor to every man, woman and child with a dark complexion, and should be ostracized from decent society. Gleanings From Our Exchanges The Tower Man for the A. N. P. was a recent visitor to T. Thomas Fortune, the dean of the race newspaper men, editor of the N. Y. Negro World and contributor to other notable publications, and as a result paid the veteran a glowing tribute, in which the Bulletin-Appeal shares a like expression. Fortune has occupied a commanding position as a versatile writer in the interest of the race and has contributed much to its elevation. The force of his writing has effected beneficial reforms and won racial respect. He has always contended for justice and right. He has been vigorous but fair to his adversary, using logic and reason as weapons of accomplishment. He is the "grand old man" of the Negro press.

May I call to the attention of your readers an erroneous statement in the letter of Mr. J. H. Sherwood, recently published in your paper regarding the St. Paul Branch election. The National Office did not declare an election illegal wherein the Consti- tution was violated. The Constitution, it is true, states that elections shall be held in November. The St. Paul election was held in December after the branch had requested the consent of the National Office to such delay and received the same. This is provided for in the Constitution. All this Mr. Sherwood could have learned on inquiry. Mr. Sherwood sent a petition to the National Office making charges that the election of the branch was not valid. The above was not included in the charges. His charges were investigated and it was found that there was no proof of the illegality of the election. It was also found that Mr. Sherwood and all the petitioners, save one, were non-members of the branch and therefore had no vote nor rightful place in the election. Yours very sincerely, ROBERT W. BAGNALL, Director of Branches, N. A. A. C. P. March 26, 1925 Mr. Jose H. Sherwood, 971 Anthony Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota. My dear Mr. Sherwood: In accordance with my promise, I am writing you after investigation. Upon examination we found no irregularity in the election held by the St. Paul Branch with the exception of the error of the President in his impression that only whites are eligible to hold office in Northern branches. We examined and found that (1) the meeting had been properly advertised in accordance with the Constitution; and (2) that the young colored attorney whose name was offered for nomination and whose nomination the Chairman refused to receive, was not a paid-up member at the time and therefore was not eligible to nomination; and (3) that the petitioners, with one exception, were not paid-up members at the time of election, and therefore not entitled to vote. May I state that we obtained a list of paid-up members of the branch without the Secretary knowing what persons had signed the petition; and a comparison of the paid-up members and the petitioners disclosed that only one of the persons whose names appeared on the petition had paid his membership for the current year and was eligible to vote. I am enclosing a copy of the constitution. Sincerely yours, ROBERT W. BAGNALL, Director of Branches. FILE SUIT AGAINST SEGRATIONISTS Los Angeles, Calif.-A suit for $10,00 damages has been filed in the courts here by Mrs. Lola Turner, 1350 1-2 East 43rd street, against a body of white men who drove her, her invalid sister and nephew from a newly purchased home in Graham, a suburb.

NOT ENOUGH CLOTHES; GIRL IS ARRESTED Birmingham, Ala.—When Miss Annie Woods, white, appeared at a dance hall here Friday night, attired only in a thin top coat and a pair of flimsy "teddies," she was seized on the floor by two policemen.

London.—The National Portrait gallery is compiling photographs of distinguished men and women in all fields of British life. Already 2,000 of the great and neargreat have posed for this national collection. Very few of the faces in the collection are feminine. It is an exceptional person, man or woman, who becomes distinguished before the age of forty. Some of the beauty of women often fades before then, so that the trustees of the National Portrait gallery have not been greatly surprised when, in several instances, after inviting a distinguished woman to have her picture made for their collection, the lady visited a photographer, but refused to approve of the result. Photographs of more than 150 of the distinguished contemporaries, as the trustees of the gallery call those whom they invite to sit for their collection, have recently been placed on public exhibition. Most of the faces are old, but some of them, notably John Drinkwater's, the dramatist, are on the sunny side of middle age. Only one man in the collection wears a monacle—Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary. There are grizzled old shipbuilding magnates, authors, artists, musicians, doctors of medicine and surgeons, railroad officials. There is the rugged, smiling countenance of T. P. O'Connor, father of the house of commons; Winston Churchill, with his floodgates collar and studiously careless bow tie; the archbishop of Canterbury, with a shaggy, drooping brow almost hiding one of his eyes; the lord chancellor with long wlg and close-clipped mustache; Mr. Asquith and scores of other somebodies and almost-somebodies. One of these days, it is hoped, the national gallery will set aside a room in which to hang photographic enlargements of prominent people; after their death, of course. No canvas can now be hung in the gallery until the subject has been deft ten years or more. Sometimes when a deceased man of prominence is honored by selection for the gallery, no adequate photograph from which to make a painting can be found. Under the new system of compiling photographs of all distinguished people, this will never-happen again. The compilation was begun in 1915; it will probably go on forever. 250.000 Men Received Summer Army Training Washington.—More than 250,000 men received some degree of intensive military training under War department supervision last summer. The period of training ranged from fifteen days to three months. The bulk of the training was in the National Guard camps. The reports show that in the twenty-nine civilian training camps held this year the attendance was the maximum which could be admitted and cared for with funds available to the War department for the purpose. The number actually at the camps, 33,983, for thirty days, was a big increase over last year, while the number of applications received amounted to 53,000. Of that number, 44,000 proved to have the physical and other qualifications necessary for admission, so that approximately 10,000 youngsters were disappointed in their hope to go through a training camp course last summer. A phase of the organized reserve corps work during the summer to which the War department attaches particular importance is the application for the first time of the principle of unit training to these organizations. The Defense day test, on the face of official reports from all over the country, served to bring out sharply the benefit of this unit training scheme, War department officials say. New Chamber Discovered Newmarket, Va.—A new chamber, surpassing in beauty and natural wonders any hitherto discovered, has been found in the Endless caverns, reports from a party of eminent geologists now engaged in exploring the caverns say. The new chamber was entered by men who wormed their way through a small opening and descended 80 feet on a rope. It is marked by vegetable and animal life and rock formations said to be more spectacular than that of other sections of the caves which have been open for inspection for years. Warm Pool Is Used as Bed by Hermit Salt Lake City, Utah.—"Hermit of the Warm Springs," is the sobriquet police have given to K. N. Jensen, sixty, found naked and asleep, floating around in a four-foot-deep pool of naturally warm sulphur water in a cave just north of here. A wooden pillow arrangement was used by Jensen to keep his head affront. He told police that he had spent his nights for months in the pool, because it afforded relief from the cold weather. Police at first thought him penniless, but it has since been learned that he has a private income. DR L. T. CROSTHWAITE DENTIST Suite 2, Detroit Bldg.

Phyllis Wheateley House (Continued from page 1) not for the wonderful assistance of eight volunteer workers and the North High Service Girls' Club. The North High Service Club is composed of about 70 white girls who take care of our children's hour daily. These girls are most enthusiastic and leave no stone unturned in making their work interesting. Time will not permit me to tell you the many things which have happened at the House, but when I tell you that we have had a funeral, a wedding and a christening you can then get some idea how splendidly the House is serving the community. The neighborhood girls come in regularly every Saturday morning for their baths, and the boys in the afternoon. On one occasion when the children were taking their showers a little fellow only 4 years old (he needed a bath very much) who had been exceptionally cross, wanted to join the group, but his mother refused, saying that he would take cold. He cried so hard that his mother afterwards gave her consent. When I took his shoes off I found that there was a sore on every toe, also his heels, caused by his shoes which were so hard that they would not bend. His little stomach, which had been burned by standing too close to the stove, had been made worse by the constant rubbing of the dirty clothes and rough overalls. Can you wonder that he had been cross? Before I could finish dressing him he was asleep. Clean clothes and soft shoes were secured for him, and he was made comfortable. Forestalls Delinquency. One cold morning my attention was called to the fact that two girls only 14 years old were looking for a place to stay and had been directed to Phyllis Wheatley House. After questioning them and not being satisfied with their reason for hunting rooms I got in touch with the Children's Protective Association through the Family Welfare office and they ordered the girls held until an investigation of their homes was made. After several conferences with the Children's Protective Agency, visiting teachers and parents they were returned to their homes. They are now back in school doing well. We want to take this opportunity to thank the many friends who assisted in making Phyllis Wheatley House a reality and the contributors of the Community Fund for making our maintenance possible. You have never invested in your community where it would bring larger dividends than in your recent undertaking, Phyllis Wheatley House investment in Human Souls will bring you larger dividends in good Citizenship than any other concern. We extend to you a cordial welcome to visit Phyllis Wheatley House, for you can't really appreciate it and the effort it is putting forth until you see it for yourself. Remember, you have not seen all the wonders of Minneapolis until you visit us, for it is truly the "Heart Center of Bassett Place." CHAS PRICE RESIDENCE OF MAMIE DONOVAN, 215 Bedford Ave. S.
