CURTIS-REED BILL ALARMS SOUTH State Historical Society LIFT LIFT 00 $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy YOUTH MOVEMENT OBJECTIVE BETTER WORLD RELATIONS Young Men and Women of Many Races Believe That Security of the Future Rests With Youth SHERWOOD EDDY GIVES VIEWS Interprets International Unrest as Revolt Against Autocratic Absolutism and Sordid Materialism New York—The clarion of the "revolt of youth" was sounded at the Community, church, Thirty-fourth street and Park Avenue, when representatives of twenty-five American youths' organizations and of foreign countries spoke in a symposium on the plece of youth in the new age. The meeting was held under the auspices of the League of Youth of the Community church, of which the Rev. John Haynes Holmes is pastor. Among those who gave brief talks were an East Indian follower of Ghandi, two German representatives of the German youth movement, a Chinese student, a French girl, a Filipino and delegates from several Negro organizations. All were eager for a world brotherhood of youth to stave off a future war and to rescue the nations of the earth from materialism and conservatism. For the first time in the history of the Community church, a Catholic priest spoke from its rostrum, when the Rev. Dr. J. Elliott Ross, representing the Newman Clubs of America, pleaded for a closer brotherhood of youth. Sees Youth Learning Lesson "I hope a meeting such as this means that we are all getting together to a far greater extent than ever before in the past," Father Ross said. "I hope that out of the stirring of youth there may come a brotherhood close to that which exists in some of the great universities of the country. Youth is learning the great lesson that we can all live together and work together as children of a common Father—God Himself." The chief speaker of the evening was Dr. Sherwood Eddy, who returned recently from an extended trip abroad which took him to Russia, and the Far East. On his trip, Dr. Eddy said he had observed signs wherever he went that a revolt of youth was in the air. "What is youth revolting against?" he asked. "The answer is threefold. In the first place, it protests against the sordid materialism so evident everywhere since the World War. In the second place, youth revolts against autocratic absolutism and domination in all its forms—political, industrial, racial and intellectual. Thirdly, there is all over the world today a passionate revolt against militarism. It lies in the power of youth to stop war, just as slavery was stopped sixty-three years ago." The new social order which will arise from youth's revolt, Dr. Eddy continued, must be based on "spiritual vision and dynamic." "You cannot build up any youth movement on materialism," he said. "In place of autocratic exploitation you have got to have democratic co-operation. Finally, in place of militarism we must go forward and launch our great offensive of faith and hope and love." "We are leading the world in wealth and in invention, it is true," he concluded, "but we are not leading it in thought or in moral courage." Others who spoke included the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop of St. Philip's Episcopal church; Eugene F. Corbie of the Abyssinian Young People's League; Stanley High, writer and lecturer; Lewis Fox of Princeton, who organized the recent intercollegiate conference on the World Court, and the Rev. W. W. Van Kirk, representing the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Ulaine, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Walker, 3124 Maple street, who has been ill, is improving. THE MONITOR Easter With God's sweet message of peace all about us, the golden glory of the sunlight above us, and memories of dear friends in our hearts, Easter is indeed a joyous season WINS FIRST PRIZE IN CAKE BAKING CONTEST Forty-five cakes were entered in the cake-baking contest which closed the Omaha Daily News free cooking school last Friday.

Mrs. Taylor's delicious white cake of three layers with cocoanut frosting was unanimously chosen by the judges as the first prize winner. Mrs. Taylor received as a prize a direct action gas range, equipped with a Lorain oven regulator donated by the Union Out-fitting Company. The second prize was won by Mrs Robert Hagg, 1521 South Sixth street, Council Bluffs, whose devil's food cake won a Eureka vacuum cleaner, donated by the Eureka Vacuum company; and third prize was captured by Mrs. O. A. Scholm, 1223 South Twenty-seventh street, who received an aluminum griddle and a sack of flour.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ISSUES DISCRIMINATORY ORDER AGAINST NEGROES Tia Juana, Mexico.—Racing circles here were stirred last week by the issuance of an order by the Mexican government singling out Negro employees and requiring that they furnish bond for their return to the United States, hoding their employers responsible for their returning. The result of the order has been the lessening of employment for colored men both because of the barriers imposed and the disinclination of owners to shoulder the burden of responsibility, as well as the unwillingness of the colored men to be registered and checked in and out, since the order applies to no other race. Representations will be made to Secretary of Labor Davis at Washington in an effort to have the practice stopped. Daytona, Beach, Fla.-The trustees of the Daytona-Cookman Collegiate Institute met in annual session here lately. Probably the most important action was the changing of the name of the school from Daytona-Cookman Collegiate Institute to Bethune-Cookman College.

GROWING THANK YOU! Vol. XI.—No. 37 SOUTH SEE POSSIBILITY OF ABOLISHMENT OF SCHOOL SEGREGATION Curtis-Reed Bill Now Before Congress Being Opposed on Ground That It May Eliminate Separate Schools CONSIDEREED POLITICAL MOVE Supporters of Bill Marshall Great Array of Astounding Facts Revealing Southern Illiteracy Washington, D. C.—The Curtis-Reed bill now before the United States Congress, which many whites fear may lead to the abolition of separate schools for colored and white children, is causing considerable unrest among certain factions of the United States legislature. There have been introduced in Congress, by interested Republican legislators, and referred to the Committees on Education of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, Bills S. 291 and H. R. 5000, which provide for the creation of a Secretary of Education, to be appointed by the president. Although all arguments for and against the bill have not been completed, starting facts have been adduced regarding the measure. Fears Mixed Schools Representative M. E. Tydings talking before the Twelfth Ward Women's Club of Baltimore, Md., recently stated: "Seventy per cent of the members of the House and Senate come from States which do not maintain separate schools. In time of political need it is not at all unlikely that to obtain some advantage a party would wipe out distinction of race in our schools. "In that case we should be powerless for we would not have but thirty per cent of the votes in Congress. "In practice the Secretary of Education would not be an educator, but merely a big Republican or Democrat. Do you want such a man, who would be entirely beyond your control, to tell you how your child must be educated?" 1.210.690 Illiterates Supporters of the bill in their arguments revealed astounding accounts of the high illiteracy rates of Negroes in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. An estimate of 210,690 was made as to Negro illiterates in Alabama; and in the seven states named the illiteracy total among the colored people is slightly over one million, two hundred thousand, or nearly three times what it is among the whites. Proponents of the educationad legislation have also shown that the average teachers' salary in Mississippi is $291 per year, as compared with $976 for New York. Other comparisons give Massachusetts $858; Illinois, $778; Texas, $487; and South Carolina, $315. The vast rural areas in the southern states, in which thousands of Negroes live, minus long term schools and adequately trained and paid teaching forces are the chief contributors to the high illiteracy rates of the seven states named. DEFEATED IN COURT BATTLES, TEXAS LAWYER JOINS N. A. A. C. P. New York—The Texas County prosecutor who conducted the case against Luther Collins, a colored man condemned to hanging and saved by appeals and retrials, has joined the Houston, Texas, branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after the branch vanquished him in court battles and saved Luther Collins from execution. The Texas prosecutor addressed the March mass meeting of the Houston N. A. A. C. P. and took out a membership in the branch not only for himself but for his wife and his brother as well. The comment of the secretary of the Houston branch is: "Going some, by gum!"
