CELEBRATES QUARTER A Scholar of Note, Professor B Graduate of Yale University Negro Academy and the An Is Deeply Interested in At Work. By Geo. H. W. Bullock To the old adage, "Some men are born great; some achieve greatness and others have greatness thrust upon them," may be rightly added in the case of Professor Charles H. Boyer, "and still others are too modest to accept the greatness which they merit." For this has been the character of Mr. Boyer as observed by me for about 20 years during which time I have been in intimate contact with him as student and friend. Prof. Boyer is by nature modest. Being connected with an institution whose avowed policy has been "silence," he has partaken of its character, and so avoids any public other than that which the many hundreds of students whom he has in- PROFESSOR CH Dean of St. Augustine's Institute, R structed, choose to give him. The writer does not hesitate to say that even though this eminent professor and Christian gentleman is "sung" and "tooted" far less than many of his fellow professionals, he is equipped with an art and skill in teaching which is excelled by none and equated by few in the teaching profession. Thorough, yet interesting; earnest and stern, yet so lovable and convincing that all delight in attending his Citizen's Attention! You'll have nobody to blame but yourself if you fail to attend the open Mass Meeting in the U. B. F. Hall Thursday evening, March 31, at 8 p. m. There will be good speakers, who know what they are talking about. Don't forget the time and place—1314 North 24th Street. Community Vigilant Club, MILTON L. HUNTER President MRS.

Charles Henry Boyer was born in Elkton, Md., November 12, 1869. His parents, Edward and Indiana Clinician Boyer, were members of Maryland's most distinguished citizenry. He received his elementary training in the Elkton schools, after which he went to the Institute for Colored Youth in the city of Philadelphia from which he graduated as Latin Salutatorian in 1886. He was also winner of the English prize in his class. After graduating here he taught at Charlotte Hall, Md., until 1890 achieving a coveted record. He then entered the Hopkins Grammar School preparatory to entering Yale. He achieved a splendid record in Hopkins, both in CHARLES H. BOYER me's Normal and Collegiate Raleigh, N. C. studies and athletics, winning prizes in the oratorical and declamatory contests at his graduation in 1892. He entered Yale in the fall of 1892, from which he graduated four years later (1896) with an A. B. degree. He assisted himself while in school by tutoring. His churchmanship is Episcopalian he having been confirmed in St. Luke's church, New Haven, Conn., in 1891 where he served as Sunday School superintendent and choir master for a number of years while in New Haven. In 1896, he was called to St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, N. C., where he has served for 25 years as dean of the College and Academic Departments of the institution. During his second year at St. Augustine's (1897) he finally succumbed to the persistent darling of Cupid, and married Miss Aletha Chase of New Haven, whom he had met while a student in Yale. There have been born to them three sons and four daughters, the oldest three daughters finish school in the present year. Mr. Boyer has been very active in the religious and athletic life of the students of St. Augustine's, being for many years superintendent of the Sunday school, director of St. Andrew's Brotherhood, coach and director of all the athletic activities of the school. He is also treasurer and warden of St. Augustine's chapel of that school, and secretary of the convocation of the Diocese of North Carolina. He is also officially connected with, and active in the inter-collegiate athletics in the state, being president for three years of the Inter-Collegiate A. A. where he made a wonderful record in purifying and fostering the game among schools of North Carolina. He has rendered a great service for education among the colored people of "The Mo A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor that state by conducting institutes for teachers, and by work in summer schools. Pref. Boyer is a fraternity man of the highest type, especially in Masonic circles, being a member of the Royal Arch, Knights Templar, master of his own lodge and was a prominent candidate for Grand Master at the recent election held by that order in North Carolina. He received the degree of Master of Arts from Yale in 1915. He is a member of the American Negro Academy and the American Philological Association. In 1911 in appreciation for his services at St. Augustine's the school and friends gave him a trip to Europe extending over a period of three months. He is now completing twenty-five successive years as teacher of this institution where he has rendered invaluable service in the shaping of many students' lives in preparing them for future service during his stay there. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON Large Congregations Fill the Church on Palm Sunday—Confirmation Administered by Bishop Shayler—Easter Day Services to Be of Usual Inspiring Nature. Palm Sunday was marked with splendid services and large congregations throughout the day. At 7:30 there was the Holy Eucharist and blessing of palms. Church school at 10 was well attended. The church was filled at 11 o'clock, at which time the Eucharist was again celebrated and instead of a sermon "The Story of the Cross" was sung, with the solo taken by Dr. John A. Singleton. At 4:30 the Rt. Rev. Ernest V. Shayler, bishop of Nebraska, paid his annual visitation, administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to eight persons and preached an eloquent, instructive and uplifting sermon on the real message of Palm Sunday. His brief charge to the candidates was simple but most impressive. At 7:30 priest and congregation attended the inspiring union service in Trinity Cathedral, where Bishop Nicolai of Serbia preached, and at which Father Williams read the prayers. The persons confirmed were the following: Gerald Adams, Margaret Bell, Gladys Edrose Brown, Sarah Mae Graves, Bernice McCaw, Melba Mary Ellen McCaw, Daisy (Thomas) Williams and Fred Caldwell Williams.

Boost business ventures among us by patronizing them was the slogan of the meeting. The club endorsed the proposition made by the Rev. W. C. Williams for the calling together of property owners for the organization of a property owners' improvement club.

COMMUNITY VIGILANT CLUB TO HOLD OPEN MEETING The economic problems which have resulted from the great world war, have awakened the people of all classes as they have never been awakened before. The reality of reconstruction is upon us and unless we gird on the armor and enter the fight as valiant soldiers we are bound to land our ship of state on the shoals. This club will hold an open meeting next Thursday evening in the U. B. F. hall, 1314 North Twenty-fourth street, at which meeting Mrs. Cormack will be the principal speaker. To many Mrs. Cormack needs no introduction, but to those who have not been fortunate enough to hear her, we will say that once you hear her you will avail yourself of the opportunity to hear her again. Attorney Anson H. Bigelow and other speakers will make short talks. Milton L. Hunter, 2001 Grant street, chairman of the club, is also chairman of the vigilance committee of the N. A. A. C. P. and a fighting member of the A. F. of L. Mrs Scott, the secretary, is a graduate of Tuskegee institute and for several years was a teacher in the public schools of Pensa-la, Fla.

U. services were held as usual. At night Mrs. O. W. Ferguson and her Camp Fire Girls rendered short services instead of the regular evening services. The affair was listened to with interest, and the pastor in commenting on it congratulated Mrs. Ferguson and urged her to keep on with the interest she has manifested and great things will be accomplished with the girls. An offering of $3.60 was taken for the girls' treasury. Next Sunday afternoon (Easter) the Sunday school will give their exercises at the regular time. At night the choir will render a special program. Rev. A. J. McAlister of the Newman M. E. church will be leaving for an annual conference soon, hence a final rally was held last Sunday.

GRANT NEGRO PERMIT TO RUN A DANCE HALL A dance hall permit was granted to Percy McCaw, Negro, by the Welfare Board at a special meeting last evening for Columbia hall, 2420 Lake street. The board specified that the hall shall be open for Negroes only. The board was divided three and two, Judge Howard Kennedy, the Rev, E. J. Flannigan and Rabbi Frederick Cohn voting in favor, and Dr. Jennie Cullas and Mrs. E. B. Towl opposing. Strenuous objections to granting the permit were voiced by the Rev. W. F. Botts, on the ground that it was an invasion of the best residence district occupied by the Negroes of the city. H. Handler, owner of the hall, who was refused a permit in his own name for a cabaret there, urged the board to relax its severity. His rental is $350 monthly and he was naturally desirous of having the hall opened. It was urged on his behalf that the place is located in a commercial district under the zoning ordinance. It also was said that if the Negroes were not allowed some place of amusement like this, they would enter halls down town.-News item in World-Herald, March 15, 1921.

(Special to Monitor by Walter J. Singleton, Staff Correspondent) but It There" WASHINGTON, D. C., March 24. —A decision has been handed down by Justice Walter I. McCoy, of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, which is of great moment and which may be far-reaching in its effect. This decision seems to bear upon all passengers in all parts of the United States. Read it, and reflect upon the confusion that will occur in the byways of the far south—in localities where no sincere and hearty recognition has been given a president since Jefferson Davis. The case, as reported in the Washington Post of March 18, 1921, is as follows: A ruling that may result in interstate electric railway companies being compelled to permit white and colored passengers to ride in cars without being segregated was made yesterday by Justice McCoy, when he directed a jury to return a verdict in favor of Frederick V. Brooks and William A. Waller, both colored, who on August 6, 1917, were put off a car of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway company at Bestgate, Md. An award of $500 each was made by the jury. The plaintiffs, through Attorneys J. J. O'Leary and W. Raymond Neudecker, stated that they were compelled to leave the car at an out-of-the-way place because they refused to move from the front of the car where they had obtained seats. Both men held tickets to Washington and boarded the train at Annapolis. He declared that the men were within their right in taking seats in the front of the car and the company more publicity been given of her entertainment. Miss Shaw's repertoire covered a large field. Her rendition of the Negro Spirituals had not only all the beauty of a superior training of voice, but also there remained enough of that natural melody of expression, peculiar to our race, to make one feel the real spiritual in the song. And in this Miss Shaw differs from some others o four professionals. Perhaps it would not be amiss to speak here also of the excellent work of Mrs. George Riley, who assisted on the program with one of her readings. In a simple, unostentatious manner, Mrs. Riley captivates her hearers and never fails in pleasing them to the extent that she is recalled again and again. In Miss Otis Watson, Omaha has a pianist of rare ability. Her method of accompanying the singer was sympathetic, and at all times an accompaniment, and not a piano solo.

Patronize The Monitor Advertisers LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! acted in violation of the law in putting the two men off from the train. Must File Regulations Justice McCoy rules that in order to segregate white and colored passengers in interstate commerce the companies must first file the proposed regulations with the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. O'Leary, in his argument, stated that the railway company had taken no such action and that the segregation rule had been made by the trainmaster and not by the directors of the corporation. The decision will be applicable to all railway companies running out of the District of Columbia, or to the District of Columbia, and despite the length of the journey taken by a Negro, if his destination is Washington, he cannot be compelled to take a seat at the direction of the conductor unless the company has taken the action to make the "Jim Crow law" of the state apply to interstate traffic. It is gratifying, indeed, to see this decided step taken. It is regarded by all right thinking people as the only decision that could have been made consistent with our form of government. Race prejudice struggles hard for manifestation in this section of the country (which is the mid-land separating the north and the south), but it is rapidly losing ground, and in time must disappear with all other barbarisms as unworthy of an enlightened age. It will be remembered that, during the war, the W. B. & A. company attempted to enforce a regulation relegating colored passengers to rear seats. Many clashes occurred between passengers and cracker conductors (imported) until a damage suit was won by a lady passenger, whereupon the annoyance ceased for a time, at least for a respectable looking passenger. Race prejudice has nine lives, but time and patience will see them all laid low. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW ON AMERICAN ATROCITIES Eminent British Publicist Makes Some Pointed Remarks on Lynching Mania so Prevalent in United States (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, March 24 — George Bernard Shaw, the noted British publicist, has startled the natives by some very original observations concerning the American institution of lynching. In the course of a communication to the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Shaw discourses as follows: "Hardly any American seems to understand that in a civilized country it is murder to kill any person except by process of law. It seems to be assumed that whoever disapproves of the conduct of a Negro is entitled to constitute himself judge, jury and executioner, and burn the Negro after inviting the countryside to come to the burning as if it were a hunting meet. As the countryside appears to come, and to enjoy itself, Europe concludes that the boche is produced by climate, not by race." IMPROVEMENT CLUB ORGANIZED IMPROVEMENT CLUB ORGANIZED Sunday afternoon a meeting of property owners was called by Rev. W. C. Williams of St. John's A. M. E. church, at which a club known as the Colored Improvement Club was organized, the purpose of the club being to improve the surroundings of homes owned and occupied by our people. Forty-two persons enrolled. James A. Clarke was chosen temporary president and Mrs. C. Duncan, secretary. All property owners are invited to become members. Next meeting will be held at St. John's church Wednesday, March 30, at 8 o'clock. SINGLETON GETS RESULTS Through the persistent and energetic efforts of M. F.

That fact is the Resurrection of the Body and the life of the world to come. This is the keystone of the arch of the Christian religion. It proclaims the truth for which sages long sought that if a man die, he shall live again. And this truth has been brought to light by the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, "Who for us men and our salvation, came down from heaven and was Incarnate (Made Flesh) by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified dead and buried and the third day He rose again." Millions and millions of people on Easter Day will repeat the faith that sustains, cheers, comforts uplifts and ennobles them in these historic words, "I believe in the Resurrection of the dead and the Life of the World to Come." The confession of this belief should impel us all to ascend to a higher plane of living here as a preparation for that life to come to which we hope to pass through the grave of death through which our Saviour has gone before to illuminate the way. May Easter joy and Easter gladness, deep, sincere and abiding be a reality to all who read these words. TRANSCENDING ITS AUTHORITY THE Board of Public Welfare of the city of Omaha is undoubtedly trying to function for what it conceive to be the best interests of the city. But The Monitor begs leave to state that it in some instances oversteps its powers and prerogatives. One of the most recent and most flagrant examples of this occurred last week when it granted a license to Columbia hall on Lake street for dancing. It granted a permit to the proprietor with the proviso and understanding that it should be conducted for and patronized exclusively by Negroes. This The Monitor contends the Board of Public Welfare had no right to do. It has no right under the laws of the state of Nebraska or the ordinances of the city of Omaha to say who shall and who shall not patronize properly conducted public places of amusement Its duty is to see that places are properly conducted. If dance halls, theatres and other public places or amusement are run properly orderly and according to law that is all that is required and no Board of Public Welfare has any right to say who the patrons shall be. This automatic action of the Board of Welfare is not worth the paper upon which it is written. It is in direct violation of the Civil Rights bill of Nebraska. The Board of Public Welfare has in this instance clearly transcended its authority. THE Monitor desires to commend to its readers The Nation, one of the foremost, fairest-minded and most fearless champions of right and justice for all mankind published in the United States. It is a weekly publication of which Oswald Garrison Villard is editor. It is one of the most powerful allies we have among our friends in the dominant group in this country. Not only does it plead for justice and fair play for the colored American in common with other American citizens, but there is rarely a month passes without some notable contribution to its columns by some capable writer of our race. For example the issue of March 23 contains a striking article entitled "The American Congo," by William Pickens. This is the only one of many which have appeared from our own writers. The Nation is one of those publications which should be read by all our people. WHAT THE EDITORS SAY FIGURES VERSUS IMPRESSIONS After several centuries of association the people of the United States naturally think that they understand the American Negro, but nevertheless scientific study of the Negroes frequently results in a surprise for the white folks. Statistics indicate that pauperism is relatively uncommon among colored people notwithstanding the general belief that they are shiffless and lacking in foresight. They make fewer demands upon charitable institutions than white people do. It has been found that Negro children in proportion to their numbers, are rare in asylums. This is partly because Negro families take in orphaned dependent children and are generally EASTER THE NATION more "piteous of the poor" than white people. A study of 500 colored families in Detroit by the Community Union indicate that Negroes are rather less likely to ask for charity than white people. There is not much difference, but what there is favors the colored race. Another discovery upsetting to ordinary belief is that Negroes, at least in Detroit, are decidedly thrifty. Ninety-eight per cent of the families visited had bank accounts which averaged, in round numbers, $400 each. In the south the burden of illiteracy is charged to the Negro but no such indictment lies against him here. The Community Union study shows that there are few illiterate Negroes in Detroit and that just as they have taken advantage of the schools, so also they have taken advantage of opportunities to learn trades. They are not, as they are often accused of doing, seeking work where they can wheedle nickels out of white men, but are working as craftsmen in many trades. All of this contrasts sharply with the Negro of literature, of the minstrel show and of the current newspaper joke. It is a good thing to get down to statistical facts once in a while and realize that where the Negro has a fair chance to develop in the United States he tends to develop as a useful member of society—Detroit Free Press. ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN St. Paul's Presbyterian church has been holding well-attended services nightly during Holy Week, with sermons on the "Seven Last Words of Christ." Easter services, which begin at 11 o'clock, include a well-arranged musical program, among the numbers being two anthems by the choir, "Low in the Grave He Lay" (Lorenz) and "The Days of Victory Dawn" (Wilson), and solos by Mrs. J. M. Hutten, "Open Ye the Gates," and Mrs. Adaline Barrows, "The Resurrection." The sermon topic will be "Our Lord Liveth." At 3 p. m. there will be a special service by the Sunday school, entitled "Easter Chimer." The evening service at 8 o'clock will be in charge of the Christian Endeavor Society. At this service there will be special features and addresses by Arthur Bryan of Council Bluffs and Mrs. B. B. Corliss of the First Christian church.

Reed, director, were entertained at the residence of Miss Raylee Middleton, 2816 Grant street, March 17, Mr. John Griffin serving with Miss Middleton as host. The house was artistically decorated with St. Patrick's colors, shamrocks being place cards for the ten guests who sat down to a well-prepared luncheon.
