The scientific authorities state that the Illinois data do not give support to the expected degeneracy of races in the United States. According to a report the so-called Nordic students at the university as a whole furnished an average scholastic grade showing "marked inferiority" to that of the other races. Racial-Purity Questioned Writing on the intellectual accomplishment in regards to American "racial" mixture, an authority had the following to say: "One hears much about the deterioration of races and the consequent need of securing certain types of superiority through the preservation of racial integrity. The acrimonious discussion of alleged Nordic superiority and similar themes relating to comparative racial values are still fresh in memory. If the claims that have been advanced are founded on indisputable evidence of a character convincing to a legitimate skeptic, it becomes a matter for national concern to consider how the most fit may be conserved and promoted. "Fortunately or unfortunately, the 'purity' of racial character can be established in comparatively few persons. Even where one would expect a homogeneous group to exist, racial heterogeneity appears from critical study of the individuals to be prevalent. Indeed, a student is sometimes inclined to ask whether in this country there is any 'pure stock' aside from the native American Indian. To those who fear the consequences of the melting pot, a recent study of racial groups in a large university may give food for thought. Relatively Few Racially Pure "As Hayes, who conducted the investigation at the University of Illinois, has pointed out, racial traits might be expected to stand out definitely against such a background of cultural similarity. He has considered the scholastic records of thousands of Illinois students in relation to their racial classification. "The foremost feature of his investigation was that relatively few of the students at this university could be definitely assigned to any racial group. The student population is thoroughly mixed in blood and is descended mainly from European populations, each of which is mixed. In making the classifications, primary importance was given to the factors of physical anthropology—to cephalic index and eye color. Hair color and stature were recognized as less significant but treated as corroborative evidence when, for example, blond hair and high stature accompanied a dolicocephalic index and blue eyes, or when medium stature, stocky build and chestnut hair accompanied a brachycephalic index and hazel eyes. "The race of their parents, as given by the students, and their names were also treated as having some corroborative value. Thus the classification was far from a hap-hazard one. Among the few students who could be definitely assigned, the majority were Nordics. The latter group as a whole furnished an average scholastic grade showing 'marked inferiority.'"

Lexington, Miss.—From this little town comes the story of the remarkable success of a race farmer that might be a profitable hint to all colored farmers. John Bailey of Black Hawk, Miss., near here, disclosed what diversification in farming can do and the cash benefits that accrue during the year. During 1927 this good farmer sold milk, butter, eggs, vegetables, meat, feed, corn, cotton and all products off the farm during the year. For his milk and butter he received $26.85; eggs, $33.21; chickens, $28.50; roasting ears, $39.95; peas, $19.39; vegetables, $81.34; cattle, $42.00; sweet potatoes, $125.00; hogs, $87.26; cotton, $101. He has an orchard of 120 trees, raises all his foodstuff and food for family demands, has plenty of stock most of them home raised. He has bought and paid for 200 acres of land-built pastures and has four ponds for water and owns a $2,000 home, paid for. He expects to add poultry to his list this fall, building the houses and necessary equipment. He has a barn full of hay, a crib full of corn, a smoke house full of meat, lives at home and does not owe a cent. $1,000,000 ENDOWMENT FOR FISK UNIVERSITY Nashville, Tenn.—Fisk University, through liberal gifts from philanthropists and educational funds, will receive a new $1,000,000 endowment.

And our youth to take advantage of within their reach to more full of service which is the purpose It is gratifying to notice the steadily increasing number of Negro students who are attending and graduating from our local high schools and higher institutions of learning. It is not so long ago that if there were four or five graduates of our race in one of the large graduating classes it was regarded as a good average. This year, however, our graduates from Central and Technical High schools and the University of Omaha number about thirty, a radical increase. Many of these high school graduates are planning to enter higher institutions to better prepare themselves for avocations which appeal to them and for which they think themselves to be adapted. This is well. It shows the educational and cultural advance of our people and the desire for advancement and improvement. Despite handicaps which would easily discourage and palsy the efforts of those made of poorer man-timber and woman-timber our young people are making intellectual progress, and notwithstanding statements to the contrary, we believe they are making corresponding moral and spiritual progress. May God bless them all and keep them steadfast in His grace and favor that they may be able to render acceptable service in their day and generation looming large with opportunities and corresponding responsibilities. We are indeed proud of our young people who are trying to make the best of themselves and who are animated and inspired by a lofty idealism. They are not perfect, although some of us feign would have them so, but all things considered, they average high intellectually, morally and spiritually, as high in the latter qualifications, if not higher than preceding generations, and we should do all in our power to help and encourage them. It is regrettable that we are doing so little to make places in the business world for our ambitious youth. There is much that we could do and must do in pooling our earnings and supporting business enterprise that will give employment to those of our youth who are preparing themselves to take their places in the business world. We must unite our forces, too, to see to it that opportunities are provided here in our schools and other public institutions which our taxes help support for some of our cultured young men and women who are qualified for such positions. The cultural life of our people in this city needs the retention of some of our best educated youth here. Not only our group, but the city at large would be benefitted thereby. It does not raise our intellectual tone or standards if when our youth have secured advanced education they must go elsewhere to find a field of employment. Omaha must see not only the justice but the wisdom of giving employment in her public school system and other public institutions to her sons and daughters of the Negro race if she would raise the tone and standard of her general citizenship. Why should we train our youth here and send them to enrich other communities at the impoverishment of our own? The battle must be pressed until this victory is won. And in the meantime we urge upon our youth to take advantage of every educational opportunity within their reach to more fully equip themselves for a life of service which is the purpose of all true education. EDITOR OF MONITOR FILES LIBEL SUIT AGAINST OMAHA GUIDE The editor of The Monitor has filed a suit for ten thousand dollars against The Omaha Guide Publishing company, Herman J. Ford, editor; Ed Cooper, F. M. Michael, A. L. Chase and the Linograph company of Davenport, Iowa, alleging he was amaged by an article published in The Omaha Guide, March 23, 1928. The article charged that the editor of The Monitor had forged names to letters commending his editorial stand relative to the suicidal policy of two colored candidates filing in the same legislative district. The Guide article publicly branded the editor of The Monitor as a liar. The editor of The Monitor wrote the editor of The Guide advising him that in the opinion of the county attorney's office and others, the article was actionable as criminal libel and also made him liable for damages and requesting a public retraction. The letter was ignored. The Guide having declined to make any reparation although it has been given ample time and opportunity to do so, the suit for damages has been filed. WASHINGTON HAS OLDEST ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH Washington, D. C.—The oldest and one of the largest colored Roman Catholic churches in the United States is located in this city and is known as St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church. The parish was organized in 1867 by Father Felix Barotti, an Italian. The present church was erected in 1874. Father Barotti died in 1881. Wenh the church was first organized an old colored parishioner called upon President "Abe" Lincoln and asked permission to hold a lawn fete on the White House grounds. The fete was a huge financial success, being attended by the President and many members of the cabinet and congress. be steadily increasing number of riding and graduating from our institutions of learning.

MONROE WORK PUBLISHES BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NEGRO IN AFRICA AND AMERICA New York, N. Y.—Monroe N. Work, director of records and research at Tuskegee Institute, has completed a bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America, which is to be published in the coming month by H. W. Wilson company, of this city. In the introduction to the bibliography, Anson Phelps Stokes, a trustee of Tuskegee, states that it is an effort to furnish "an accurate and comprehensive handbook of the titles and authors of valuable books, pamphlets and articles from periodicals on the Negro in Africa and America." It contains 17,000 entries covering publications in this field before 1928. Mr. Work has been engaged on this task for 25 years and has been in contact with librarians and authorities in all parts of the world. PULLMAN PORTERS' STRIKE CALLED OFF New York, N. Y.—The threatened strike of Pullman porters, set for June 8, was called off by A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. It is understood that the plans for the strike had failed, according to those informed. Randolph said, however, the action was taken at the request of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, who said that although he felt the porters were fully justified in striking, the public had not been fully informed of conditions. "I am of the opinion it would be unwise to engage in a strike now," the federation president said in a telegram. "Economic conditions are unfavorable to the success of such an undertaking." Randolph said the strike machinery would be kept intact "to be set in motion at a more propitious time." --- Vol. XIII—No. 10 MISS BERLACK, SCHOLARSHIP HOLDER, GRADUATED FROM NEW YORK UNIVERSITY New York, N. Y.—Thelma E. Berlack, who was awarded a scholarship four years ago by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through the women's committee of 100, is being graduated this year from the school of commerce, accounts and finance of New York university. During the course of her college career Miss Berlack was elected to Delta Mu Delta, an honorary scholastic society, being the first Negro to achieve this distinction. Miss Berlack was for some time an efficient member of the office staff at the national offices of the N. A. A. C. P. AFRICANS REVOLT AGAINST BRITISH OVER-LORDSHIP Natives Bitterly Resent Attitude of English and Stage Open Demonstrations of Dislike of Oppressors. Capetown, South Africa.—A wave of hatred for the British and their oppression is sweeping over the natives of South Africa. Violent anti-British demonstrations have occurred here, the most flagrant being a riot in which a mob of Negro natives took the lead. Scores of persons were injured in the outbreak and ninety persons were arrested. Police reinforcements from all parts of the peninsula were called into Capetown to meet the threatening situation. The unrest among the natives is said to be growing more prevalent each day. Large crowds of natives march up and down the streets continually. They carry banners, some of which are inscribed: "Independent Colored Workers' Union," "Africans, Arise," "Away With Slavery," "Down With Anti-Native Laws," and similar sentiments. GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD OFFERS MOREHOUSE COLEGE $300,000 ENDOWMENT FUND Institution Given Three Years to Raise Equal Sum. Has Trained Outstanding Leaders Since Its Organization. Atlanta, Ga.—Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse college, announced at the close of the commencement exercises, June 5, that the general education board of New York City has offered to the college the sum of $300,000 toward an endowment fund. The offer is a condition alone, and depends upon the raising of an equal amount by the institution within a time limit of three years. The total sum is to form an endowment for the support of the faculty. During its 61 years of existence and growth, Morehouse college has been noted for its training in leadership and character, made possible by an unusually strong, though comparatively small, Christian faculty. Under the guidance of such teachers, the college has sent out graduates who are leaders in the religious, business, educational, and social life of the Negro. Today the presidents of 10 colleges are graduates of Morehouse college, and four of these head land grant colleges, state supported institutions. Many of the race's strongest and most helpful ministers claim the college as their alma mater, as do scores of business men, professional men, and social workers. The commencement exercises mark the 61st anniversary of the college, and the 30th anniversary of Dr. Hope's connection with the college. Sixty-one years have resulted in added physical equipment, an enlarged faculty, and a greatly increased student body. But in spite of this last indication of growth, the college department now has an enrollment of 411, and more and more emphasis is being laid on its development, the institution still has the atmosphere of a progressive, small Christian college, the only one of its kind devoted solely to the education of Negro boys and men. GROWING — THANK YOU Whole Number 671 NEGRO NOVELIST HAS BEEN AWARDED SPINGARN MEDAL Charles Wadell Chestnutt, Brilliant Man of Letters, Honored for Outstanding Services in Chosen Field. HAS HAD AN EVENTFUL CAREER Acknowledged Pioneer in Depicting the Life and Struggle of Americans of African Descent. New York City, June 14—The 14th annual award of the Spingarn medal this year was made to Charles Waddell Chestnutt, of Cleveland, novelist, short story writer, and public spirited citizen, according to an announcement by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The medal, which goes each year to the man or woman of African descent and United States citizenship for most distinguished achievement in some field of honorable endeavor, is given to Mr. Chestnutt for his "pioneer work as a literary artist depicting the life and struggle of Americans of Negro descent, and for his long and useful career as scholar, worker, and freeman of one of America's greatest cities." The medal is to be presented in Los Angeles on July 3, by Lieutenant-Governor Buron L. Fitts of California, at the 19th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Chestnutt was born in Cleveland, June 20, 1858, and moved in early youth with his family to North Carolina, where at the age of 16 he began teaching in the public schools. At 23 years of age he was principal of the State Normal school at Fayetteville. He came to New York City in 1883 to do newspaper work and then went to Cleveland where he obtained employment as a stenographer, being admitted to the bar in 1887. In that year he began in The Atlantic Monthly a series of stories later collected in a book entitled "The Conjure Woman." Mr. Chestnutt published two books in 1899, "The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of the Color Line," and a "Life of Frederick Douglass." They were followe in 1900 by "The House Behind the Cedars," in 1901 by "The Marrow of Tradition" and in 1905 by "The Colonel's Dream." Mr. Chestnutt is one of the first writers to have carefully studied the dialect and the ways of southern Negroes, as well as of white people in their relation to Negroes, and to give literary form to these studies in his stories and novels. A new novel by Mr. Chestnutt is in preparation. Previous winners of the Spingarn medal are as follows: 1915, Dr. E. E. Just, professor of physiology at Howard university medical school, for researches in biology; 1916, Major Charles Young, U. S. A., for services in organizing the Liberian Constabulary and developing roads in Liberia; 1917, Harry T. Burleigh, for excellence in the field of creative music; 1918, William Stanley Braithewaite, for distinguished achievement in literature; 1919, Archibald H. Grimke, for 70 years of distinguished services to his country and his race; 1920, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, for founding and calling together the Pan-African congress; 1921, Charles S. Gilpin, for his achievement in the title role of Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones;" 1922, Mary B. Talbert, for service to colored women and for the restoration of the home of Frederick Douglass; 1923, Prof. George W. Carver, for distinguished research in agricultural chemistry; 1924, Roland Hayes, for achievement in singing; 1925, James Weldon Johnson, author, diplomat, and public servant; 1926, Dr. Carter G.

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear- headed Business Man HEFLIN HOPES; SO DO WE Senator Heflin is very, very amusing. It is not very long ago that he pronounced a jeremiad over the dire evil which would be- fall his beloved South should it obey the Constitution of the United States in permitting the Negro to exercise the fran- chise. Himself the beneficiary or flagrant nullification he had the effrontery to berate Gover- nor Smith of New York as “a Constitutional nullifier.” Now, our friend Tommy, ac- cording to press dispatches, having heard that “there would be an effort on the part of Governor Smith’s Roman Catholic friends” to interfere with the fiery senator's speech scheduled for delivery at an early date in Albany unbur- dens his perturbed bosom in a statement which does credit to his heart even though it be in- consistent with other remarks made by the learned solon and does despite to the sentiments and actions of the section from which he hails. He is quoted as saying: “T trust that the rumor is un- founded, There ought not te be—there must not be—ther« shall not be if I can prevent it a foot of American soil where the people are denied the right of free speech and peaceful as sembly.” Bravo, senator, noble senti ments, nobly expressed! Bui we are not unmindful of the fact that there is a large stretch of territory south of the Mason and Dixon line where “the right of free speech and of peaceful assembly” is denied PAGE TWO not only to black men but to white men whose opinions and views run counter to the nar- row and benighted sentiment of that section on the race and other questions. It is not so long ago, if our memory serves us truly, that it was in Ala- bama, Senator Heflin’s own state, from which a distinguish- ed resident of Illinois in the person of Clarence Darrow had to withdraw, lest he suffer per- sonal violence, because he ex- ercised “the right of free speech.” We do hope the day will come when there will not be a foot of American soil where the people will be denied the right of free speech. But Senator Heflin knows that today there are hundreds of miles in his own section where this is un- true. We do not believe he will be denied the right of free speech by the Roman Catholics of Albany or elsewhere, and we hope that he may be con- verted to use his influence, whether it be little or much, in granting this right to black and white alike in his own section. We hope he may become more consistent and less amusing. URBAN LEAGUE EXECUTIVE ATTENDS EUROPEAN CONFAB New York, N.

THE MONITOR The Georgia Minstrels, premier colored organization with a company of 30 are the headliners in the new vaudeville bill at the World theater starting Friday. For 77 years the Georgia Minstrels have played from one coast to the other. Featured with the troupe is Chick Beeman, funny end man who has the assistance of three others, while of course there is the usual interlocutor, the singers, the dancers, and the company's own orchestra for the proper background. Any colored organization can be depended upon for speed and the Georgia Minstrels have plenty. For their special vaudeville engagement here they are presenting only the minstrel first part of their regular road show. This offers forty minutes of widely diversified entertainment. One of the features of the engagement will be the daily street parade at noon and band concerts in front of the World twice daily. The supporting vaudeville show about the big headliner has been chosen with especial care. Charles Eichman and company of five present the laughable travesty, "Coffee Pot Dome," said to be a satire on the recent oil scandals. Featured with this company is Maryon Aye, motion picture star and recently a sensational success in the coast stage production of "The Married Virgin." Murray and Van in "Topical Tunes," present a series of lively song numbers with comedy trimmings. Willis and Walker are funmakers of reputation with a series of new stories, new songs and plenty of fun throughout. For their principal screen attraction, the World offers "A Harp in Hock," comedy drama of New York's East Side. It tells a powerful story with plenty of humorous relief and features in the big cast Joseph Schildkraut, Junior Coghlan and Bessie Love.

Their contribution to the history of freedom is one of those intangible quantities not easily defined nor accurately appraised. It will lie back of much of the worth-while accomplishment that makes the history of our country. Trace the careers of men who bulk large in the building of America and you find woven into their character the influence of mothers who had faith in their sons, faith in their country and faith in their country's God. We have come into a new age which grants to women a larger place in the affairs of mankind. Some of the ideals associated with womanhood have changed with changing times. We no longer insist on that measure of self-effacement thought proper for the women of another generation. But no one can imagine a state of affairs wherein self-sacrificing motherhood will not be exalted or the contributions of motherhood to the state not acknowledged with loving remembrance. Yet it is to mothers individually rather than to mothers impersonally that the devoted tributes of Mother's day are paid. One thinks of his own mother and, if possible, sends her some token of his thought. He appreciates what other mothers have done and are doing toward making this a better society, but his act of devotion is to the particular mother who brought him into the world, protected him when helpless, inspired him to strive, blessed him as he started out in the world and never ceases watching out for his welfare as long as life remains. "Men are what their mothers made them," wrote Emerson. America is great because the mothers of American men and women have been great. Today we recall what the mothers of Washington, of Lincoln, of Grant, of Lee, meant to their generation. But we recall even more vividly what our own mothers have meant and still mean to us. And with full hearts we pay them tribute. Motherhood Universal The dominating impulse of woman is motherhood, whether she bears children of her own or mothers another's; or mothers a community, a state, a reform; or, in her interests and dedication, mothers the whole world. Tribute Paid Mother Love (With a cup of clear, pure water from the old family well.) Here's to mother, whose name is music. And when that name is on my tongue life's fretful fevers die and I am calm. A heavenly poesy is in that name. No name of princess or of queen could mean so much to me. Her ministries of tenderness were as gentle as the drops of dew Something of the Everlasting Mercy is in the nature and the name of mother. Your faithfulness by day was like the rising suns of morning. Your vigils by night and the watching stars lit the skies. Unconquerable was your modest and unboasting bravery Your gentle services were as delightful and as deft as the gentle fingerings of the sunbeams among the illies. So unpretentiously you dropped your splendors everywhere. And like the apple blossoms of the Mav your spirit shed a fragrance all around. To your child's eyes your kindly face was like a sunrise and your voice was sweeter far than morning bells. Mother, on this holy day of memory, it all comes back again to me. Here's to you. Mother, who wakened and watched while others slept while others rested you toiled on, when others had forgotten you still remembered, and though weared with the long day's toll you bowed above, my drowsy couch and rested me to sleep by that holy, good-night kiss I hear the soothing music yet of your sweet lullaby—"Holy angels guard thy bed." And I think, in answer to your prayer those shining watchers must have protected me through all these after years. Much that I hoped and dreamed is yet quite unfulfilled, but the light of your love has never dimmed or died Or here or yonder that torch divine in spite of darkness and of storm must shine forever on. The hand that lit that Star of Love can never forget to guide, and hold, and heal. That Master Hand is master of all shadows and of storms. Here's to you. Mother, in memory of my cradle days, in memory of my childhood's days of play; in memory of the after years of triumph or dismay; in memory of laughter, of labor, of love, and in memory of those mystic days of sometimes strangely mingled peace and pain; here's to you. Mother, here's to you. My memory of you shall be lasting and long. And on this memory day my full heart is homing to you. I kiss your brow again today or fling a winged kiss across the miles. Here's to you. Mother, here's to you! For you I give undying thanks and lift my prayer of love. Here's to you. Mother, here's to you—Charles Coke Woods, in Houston Post-Dispatch. Sunday in May Given Mother Sunday in May Given Mother One day about 100 B. C. a rich Roman woman was visiting Cornelia, a Roman mother. The visitor was showing off her rings and her necklaces and her other ornaments. She had a great many and she was proud of them. When she had shown off all she had, she asked to see Cornelia's jewels. Cornelia called to her two boys, who were playing outside. They came in and their mother put her arms around them. Then, with emphasis on "these" and "my," Cornelia said: These are my jewels. On Sunday, May 9, 1907, Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia told a friend that she had set the day aside to honor the memory of her mother who had died the year before. During the months that followed Miss Jarvis told many persons that she would like to see one day in each year set aside to honor all mothers She interested so many Philadelphians that Sunday, May 10, 1908 was observed throughout their city as Mother's day. Miss Jarvis made herself a veritable missionary in behalf of Mother's day and the movement spread farther and farther each year. By 1913 it was being observed in England. In 1914, by authority of a joint resolution from congress, Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States issued a proclamation for the Mother's day of that year. By that time Mother's day was being observed generally on the second Sunday of each May. So—because mothers are like Cornelia, and because Anna Jarvis wanted all mothers to be honored as she honored her mother—Mother's day is now a treasured day of memory. Love Without Limit A mother's love is the medium through which we understand God's, it will go to the deepest of depths to save. Victor Hugo, in his "Les Miserables," has given us a vivid portrayal of mother's love in the characters of Cossette and Fantine, and in Ben Hur and his mother we find another illustration of a mother's love without limit. There is an old story of a mother who left heaven to save her child, and this is indicative of the great mother heart of God manifest in Christ. Of All Things Beautiful A faithful, loving mother stands at the summit of the beautiful. Climb the stairway of the beautiful, from the purple cup of the violet through the lily and the rose—from the witchery of the forest through the rugged grandeur of the mountain—from the simple beauty of the meadow lake through the silent majesty of the midnight heavens to a mother and her child, and the feet of beauty are ever climbing upward. FLOOD VICTIMS SUE CITY New Orleans, La.—Claims of colored and white farmers totaling $13,.254,553.61 have been filed against the city of New Orleans as the result of damage caused by the artificial crevasse at Caernavon which was cut more than a year ago to save the city from the Mississippi flood. FILES FOR LEGISLATURE St. Louis, Mo.—Atorney Freeman L. Marin, 4332 Cottage avenue, has filed for the legislature in the Fourth District. There are three to be elected and it is said that fifty per cent of the voters are of African descent. Mr. Martin is dean of the law department of Douglass University and a member of the Board of Curators of Lincoln University. CULTURAL CENTER NOTES The West Side Parent-Teacher association, which was organized a little over two years ago, and which has been holding its meetings at the Cultural Center, held its last meeting of the school year at the West Side school, last Monday afternoon.

This is the first trophy of its kind in the athletic field that the Center boys have won. The gift came to them through the American Legion, being given to the Legion to be given to those teams whose entry was in, up to date, and complete, before June 15. Mr. Ray Feltman, an Omaha leader among the kiddies, gave the ball. He expressed the desire that the boys to whom these balls were given would use their best skill, deportment and sportsmanship upon the field, thereby reflecting credit upon the Legion and the institution under whose colors they served. The ball will be used as a souvenir, to be placed in the Center with the names of the boys of the team attached. The following boys compose the junior team, all under 16 years old: Edwin Smith, George Starnes, Marcy Williams, St. Clair Breakfield, Johnnie Hodges, Elmer Washington, Alfred Liggins, Valrie Johnson, Trolis Harris, Louis Harris, Delmar Dodson, and Tommie West.
