How they achieved their independence and preserved it---Helped the American colonies to achieve independence The Haytian girl is the biological product of Africa, Spanish and French forbears with a remote strain of Indian blood coursing through. Close personal contact with the French during four centuries of slavery followed by the unlimited opportunity for self-expression made possible by more than a century of political independence and sovereignty have fostered to the limit the development of the peculiar traits derived from those several ancestors. Reared for the most part in local conventional schools, and initiated at Paris in the arts and mysteries of feminine elegance, the Haytian girl has developed a personality of charm and distinction that is singularly captivating.

Favorable Comparison Intellectually our girls con Many Marry Foreigners In giving such a flattering description of the Haytan girl, I wish it to be understood that I am not expressing a purely personal appreciation of the subject under discussion, but the consensus of universal verdict, both European and American. Time and space do not allow us to quote names and newspaper articles; but the facts are borne out, we think, by the innumerable international marriages that our girls have contracted. Such marriages are an everyday occurrence and have been so for nearly three quarters of a century. Moreover, these international marriages have not been restricted to the elite; quite a few peasant girls, just one generation removed from the soil, have been led to the altar by aliens. TECHNICAL HIGH STUDENT HAS ARTISTIC ABILITY James Boyd of 2706 Erskine street, has the ambition to be a second Henry O. Tanner in painting. The boy does free hand drawing with ordinary pencil as accurately as the well trained artists. He can take a brush and paint and convert his pencil sketches into works of real art. Aside from his ability to sketch, he is a musician. He plays the clarinet with the adptness of a musician with years of orchestral experience. He has had many obstacles to surmount in his endeavor to meet his ambition as an artist; despite these he still struggles. Boyd is a quiet young man, very attentive to his art, which is characteristic of all real artists. He is only sixteen years old and a student of Technical High School. He does sketches for periodicals at the school. N. A. A. C. P. MET SUNDAY The Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met at the North Side "Y" Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

It is a significant fact not one case in a thousand has resulted in a divorce. **Entry Not Easy** A European who goes to Hayti seldom, if ever, chooses to return home to select a bride. And yet it is not an easy matter to gain admission into a Haytian home. A mere introduction will not do it. Where his family is concerned, a Haitian of the cultured class holds new comers at arms length until he has studied him thoroughly. In the meantime, he does his entertaining at public clubs and hotels. When at last an alien has been admitted into the privacy of the home, and he falls in love with one of the daughters, oh, the formality and etiquette to which he has to conform. Foreign residents in Hayti have sometimes reported to their friends that there is great need for domestic science in that count. This statement routine business was transacted. A debate on the subject, "Resolved, That the Negro Is Taking Advantage of His Opportunities" provoked quite an animated discussion. It was opened by Rev. J. H. Harris for the affirmative and Y. W. Logan for the negative, after which it was thrown open to voluntary speakers. Sherman Jackson, a recently released prisoner from Lincoln, was granted permission to tell of his experiences while confined at Lancaster.

THE MONITOR THE HAITIAN GIRL (In The Negro World.) Entry Not Easy NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1925 must not be taken unreservedly. It refers exclusively to women and girls of the lower classes who usually go about offering their services as domestic helps. Coming from squalid homes, or from public schools where such training does not exist, they are truly incapable and inefficient. But it is not so in the better classes. The women are very capable home-makers, skilled in French culinary arts, fine dressmakers and wonderful embroiderers and lace-makers. The talent for embroidering is shared by girls of all classes in fact, and is directly or indirectly attributable to the presence of the nuns on that island. Favorable Comparison Intellectually our girls compare favorably with their sisters abroad. While they manifest an instinctive dislike for certain professions or avocations, which they consider more befitting to the stronger sex, they willingly embrace commerce, teaching, nursing, chemistry, etc. Their great fault is that they are too self-centered. One might wish to see them wake up to the necessity of engaging in activities for the social uplift to their sisters of the working classes. A start has been made in that direction, but the movement has not yet gathered sufficient impetus to make itself felt as a national force. Until this is done, our girls may well consider themselves remiss, both in their Christian and civic duties. However, there are indications that this attitude of indifference will be eventually overcome. race, he declared, and *concluded by urging the support of the Zionist movement. The convention endorsed the Jewish Homeland movement, but refused to support the Zionist movement politically. AMERICA DOING GREAT SERVICE FOR THE WORLD British Visitor So Regards Efforts for Racial Adjustment Now Engaging Serious Attention Atlanta, Ga., March 6.—Sepcial.)—In seeking an amicable solution of their problems of race relations, the American people are doing the world a service of greatest importance, according to Secretary Kenneth Macleann, of the Missionary Conference of Great Britain and Ireland, who is now in the United States studying the interracial situation and the status of Negro education in this country. After inquiring carefully into the Interracial Movement in the South, at its headquarters here, Mr. Macleann said: "You Americans are doing a much more important thing than you realize, one which has significance not for America alone but for the whole world. The twelve million Negroes in this country are but a small part of the world's colored population and the relation of the two races here is only a segment of a world-wide problem of racial attitudes. Great Britain alone is dealing with a vastly larger native population in Africa and with some three hundred million inhabitants of India. "The best minds among the British people are earnestly seeking the right solution of this tangled web of race relations," continued Dr. Macleennan. "They are looking hopefully to America where the problem seems to be clearing up through mutual efforts to promote understanding, sympathy and helpfulness between the races. You may feel encouraged, therefore, to go forward with your efforts," he concluded, "seeing that they mean so much to millions of people in other lands." While in the South, Mr. Macleennan visited Tuskegee Institute and several of the Negro colleges in Atlanta and expressed himself greatly pleased with the educational progress the race is making in this country.

McDonald, Appointed Deputy Oil Inspector, the First in History of Nebraska. The Rev. E. H. McDonald has been appointed deputy oil inspector by the Governor McMullen. The appointment became effective March 1st. This is the first time a position of this kind has been given to member of the race in this state. It comes, and justly so as a recognition of the loyal support given Governor McMullen by our voters in the last campaign. Mr. McDonald is a man of excellent character and ability and is well qualified to discharge the duties of the position to which he has been appointed with credit to himself and to his race of which he is a most worthy representative. His friends feel absolutely confident that he will give satisfaction and fully justify his appointment. Mr. McDonald is a home-owner and a tax-payer here and resides at 2859 Wirt Street. MADAME CHARLOTTE WALLACE MURRAY DELIGHTS AUDIENCE A fair sized, but highly appreciative audience, greeted Madame Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezzo-soprano of New York City, upon her initial appearance in this city, under the auspices of the Theodore Roosevelt Post of the American Legion, Thursday evening, February 26th, at St. John's A.

Dr. Ernest E. Just, Dean of Negro Scientists Kelly Miller, Prominent Race Writer, Gives an Interesting Theme on Life and Works of Dr. Ernest E. Just, Negro Science Leader Educational Capacity of Negro The Negro College was founded and fostered by philanthropy whose chief concern was to develop an educated leadership for race reclamation and uplift. The man of one tailent and the man of five talents, alike, were impressed into the service of humanity at the point of greatest need. Special aptitudes and endowments were devoted to the common ideal. Gleams or glints of genius or high talent were acclaimed as proof of the Negro's mental endowment and as justification for provision for his improvement. It is generally conceded that the Negro has great emotional capacity and gift of memory. He may be expected to excel in music, poetry and belles lettres, which rest upon memory, emotion and imagination. But he is deemed mediocre or deficient in the domain of the solid understanding. He has not been expected to excel in logical faculty and the power of abstract reasoning. The fullest refutation of this prejudice is found in the United States Patent Office which contains several thousand discoveries and inventions as evidence of Negro ingenuity and creative genius. It has been only recently that the Negro student's attention has been directed to the pursuit of science and abstract thought as a matter of serious study. Our best colleges are now establishing chairs in astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and the social sciences. Colored men are now qualifying to fill these chairs according to the rigid requirements of the collegiate field. Quite a number are now filling such chairs with intelligence and efficiency. A number of Colored students are now pursuing graduate courses in the several branches of science with the doctorate in view as the highest approved stamp of academic approval. In a few instances they have more than met the minimum requirements of those scientific chairs, but have shown indications of capacity for research calculated to extend the boundaries of knowledge. Fields of Research Research is a new word recently added to the vocabulary of college teaching. Roughly speaking, the function of the small college is to teach rather than to investigate while the function of the university is to investigate rather than to teach. There is at present no Negro university in the case of the investigative function. Notwithstanding this limitation, several Negro teachers have shown the ambition to launch out upon the higher ways of investigation. Genius cannot be restrained by institutional limitations. Many of the illustrious names in the annals of science have not only come from the small colleges, but have fallen wholly without the limits of college walls. Among the Colored men who have gained distinction in scientific pursuits might be mentioned the late Dr. Charles H. Turner of the Summer High School of St. Louis, whose researches on the instincts of the ant and the bee gave him a national and, indeed, an international reputation among biologists. Professor George W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute, has recorded to his credit a number of discoveries and inventions in biology and chemistry resulting in several valuable economic products. His ingenuity and intellectual resource are widely recognized and extolled. Others are doing worth while work of credit and promise. Dr. Ernest E. Just Dr. E. E.

GROWING :: :: THANK YOU 504 Vol. X—No. 35 Negro Scientists interesting Theme on Life Science Leader tious. His distinction has in no degree affected his poise or swollen his self-conceit. He has a becoming measure of Newtonian modesty. He vaunteth not himself, on account of his accomplishments and is not puffed up. This modesty is all the more remarkable because any member of a backward group who gets far ahead of his fellows is prone to glory in the uniqueness of his distinction. But Dr. Just wears his distinction with hardly normal self-appreciation. Deep Race Consciousness Dr. Just has a deep sense of racial responsibility and duty. He believes in the possibilities of the Negro with an unlimited and unshakable belief. Although his special field of research is as far removed, as one can think, from the domain of racial welfare, yet he never allows himself to be deceived or carried too far from the basic social situation to which he is keenly alive. Science is color blind. There is neither race nor nationality in knowledge. Nor is there any real necessity, from a purely scientific point of view, for the Negro or any group to be pathfinders in the field of science. The truth in the end will prove to be the same, both in its pure essence and in its practical application, it matters not who first may hit upon it. Universal principles have universal application. They can not be monopolized nor manipulated to suit racial or national arrogance and pride. But it is a matter of commendable pride for any community to lay claim to its due proportion of the celebrities whose contribution have advanced the general culture of the species. A group that fails to contribute its quota is apt to be stigmatized with the reproach of inferiority. In case of the helpless and dependent group this imputed inferiority may serve to condition its place and status among the more powerful and lordly by which they are regulated and controlled. When one member of a despised group rises to distinction or renown, it quickly inspires his fellows who labor under like limitations as himself, to bestir themselves for higher and better things. The distinction that has come to Dr. Just will inspire hundreds of Negro college students to renew their ardor and devotion to the pursuit of science and exact knowledge. An example becomes contagious in proportion to its nearness to the group to be inspired. Inspiration is infectious and is infinitely more effectual by contact than by counsel. The value of a great name to any group consists in its ability to reproduce or to multiply itself. The mere fact that an individual may shoot sheer above the level of his class or group without disciples, imitators or rivals may stand as an exotic, a sport or jest of nature. The infertile individual is cut off forever from the current of human welfare. Dr. Just is not only an investigator of abstract scientific truth, but a teacher deeply concerned in the advancement of his students to whom he would impart the full measure of his secrets and methods without stint or reserve. He is anxious that they should accomplish not merely the things which he has achieved, but that they should do greater works than himself. The response is encouraging. He feels that his isolated example counts for little compared with the influence handed down to those who are to come after him. Not only so, but he is keenly interested in encouraging timid and hesitant Negro students and teachers everywhere in the field of science and precise knowledge. naha Homes Types of Omaha Homes THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGTONS HOME OF DR. A. G. EDWARDS Whole Number 504 By Kelly Miller. ogy, Howard University, easily takes first rank among Colored men engaged in scientific pursuits. Mr. Just is not yet forty years old. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and received his early education in the Charleston public schools and in the state college at Orangeburg. From there he went to Kimball Academy, New Haampshire, where he was graduated in the class of 1907 with Magna cum Laude, being the only member of his class to attain that grade of distinction. While in college his major interest centered in biology which had been impressed upon his attention by reading a German monograph on that subject. Upon graduation he was called to the teachership of Biology in Howard University where he has labored till the present time. The urge of his specialty had such a compelling hold upon him that, he, by the severest sacrifice, felt impelled to spend his vacations in the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole, Massachusetts, the most famous institution of its kind in America, if not in the world. He has spent has vacations there in arduous research work for seventeen years without interruption. He soon began to publish the results of his research in the biological journals. For the past ten years he has ranked among the first as a frequent contributor to biological literature, and is widely quoted in learned treatises on the subject. In 1915 Mr. Just secured leave of absence from Howard University in order to spend a year in residence at the University of Chicago, from which institution he received the degree of Ph. D. in the class of 1916. He earned his doctorate with the same distinction as his baccalaureate—Magna cum Laude. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People awarded Dr. Just the Spingarn Medal in 1914, as having made the greatest contribution of any member of his race for that year. For the past five years Dr. Just has been carried as a research worker by the National Research Council which allows him to divide his time between teaching at Howard University and research at Wood's Hole. World-Wide Recognition Dr. Just is co-author with Dr. Lillie, head of the Department of Zoology in the University of Chicago, of the section on Fertilization, in the treatise on Citation edited by Dr. E. V. Cowdry of the Rockfeller Institute. This recognition shows how he stands in the esteem of American biologists. Recently he has been requested by a group of German scientists to prepare a monograph on the Physiology of Fertilization in a series of monographs covering the biology of cellular structure. The series contains the last known word of biological knowledge. His selection from among all of the biologists of the world shows that he has won an international reputation in the special field upon which he has focussed his attention. The field of Dr. Just's research is limited to the question of fertilization upon which great emphasis is laid by all scientists in quest of ultimate vital knowledge. It is generally conceded that Dr. Just has pushed the line of inquiry as far and in some respects farther than any other investigator in America or Europe. To stand with those at the top in any department of knowledge is a great distinction, indeed. Dr. Just possesses the elemental qualities of intellectual superiority.

KEEPS FAITH THE MONITOR which urged the nomination and election of Adam McMullen as governor of Nebraska is gratified to call attention to the fact that he has given recognition to our group by appointing the Rev. E. H. McDonald as a deputy oil inspector. We repeatedly expressed confidence that Governor McMullen would be fair to all classes and do the square thing by all. Despite the support given republican candidates by our people the best that has hitherto been given us among hundreds of appointments have been one or two minor janitorships. Janitorships are all right but it is high time we were given some other recognition and our people were getting very tired of being given the glad hand before election and the frozen mit after election. We are glad that Governor McMullen has broken the tradition of Nebraska officials in making this appointment, which we hope is but the earnest and pledge of others that may be given our group as soon as openings may be found or made. As to the appointee. He is a high-class Christian gentleman with the ability and the disposition to fill the position conscientiously and satisfactorily. All we are personally interested in at any time is the fact that the person making application for appointments of this kind shall be one of good character and with the ability to make good. Mr. McDonald has these qualifications. We congratulate him upon his appointment and thank Governor McMullen for this recognition of our people's support. He has kept faith as we maintained he would. TERMS OF CONTEMPT DON'T permit yourself to fall into the habit of using terms of contempt and reproach such as "chink", "dago", "wop", "sheeny" and "nigger". These are all terms of contempt and derision of God's noblest creature, man, and GRAND Prof. J. J. Wadd 40 Mem THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the closest habitages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk." PAGE TWO naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop-law, nor deny to any personal protection of the laws. those who use them suffer deeper mental and spiritual degradation than they realize. We are largely, almost entirely, molded by our thoughts and when we speak derisively or contemptuously of any racial type or group it discloses our own low mentality and ideals. The use of such terms are indicative of a moral obliquity which we should bend every energy to correct. THE FISK FIGHT WE HAVE REFRAINED from commenting on the trouble between President McKenzie and the students of Fisk university. We desired to have more data on the situation than one secures through various newspaper reports. There are certain aspects of the situation which do not impress us favorably towards President McKenzie and chief of these is the promptness with which he called upon the Nashville police who invaded the campus and brutally beat several of the Fisk students. Knowing as he did the attitude of the average white Southern policeman towards Negroes and especially those of the better class, whose self-respect they interpret as impudence the calling in of the police was an inexcusable blunder upon the part of President McKenzie. Judging the situation from this distance it looks to us like Dr. McKenzie's usefulness as president of Fisk university is gone. ABBOTT COMING NEXT MONDAY Robert S. Abbott, editor of The Chicago Defender, is to be an Omaha visitor. Mr. Abbott is an outstanding example of the men of our race who have made good. After a terrific struggle against poverty and other handicaps Robert S. Abbott has succeeded in building up one of the greatest weekly newspapers in the country. The Chicago Defender is recognized as an institution in American journalism. It took courage grit, determination, faith and vision to build up such a publication. Mr. Abbott comes to speak at St. John's A. M. E. church. The Monitor bids him RECITAL le's Ladies' Band hearty and cordial welcome and hopes that his brief stay with us will be a joy and an inspiration.

McClennon, who has long been a favorite in Keith vaudeville and who makes records for the O-Keh Grapho- phone company, has just joined the ranks of Columbia burlesque. He is one of the most entertaining. perform- ers on the American stage. He is a comedian, musician, singer and dancer. Mr. MeClennon is’ assisted by Miss Maude DeForrest, a blues singer who has appeared in’ several of the big broadway colored revues recently. It is doubtful if any other colored performer in burlesque is as popular as McClennon. He is a finished com- edian and his antics are sure to please ithe patrons’ of the popular Gayety. McClennon is surrounded by a big burlesque show; Harry Steppe, the Hebrew comedian, needs no introduc- tion to Omaha audiences as he has played here several times before and thas proved to be a very clever fun maker. Others in the company are Harry O'Neal, Vie Casmore, Rose Dut- fin, Lola Pierce Rube Walman, Geo. Rose, Carmin Sisters and the greatest singing and dancing chorus ever offer- ed in burlesque.
