PROTEST BROADCASTING OF INSULTING SONG OVER RADIO OFFENSIVE PROGRAM IS BROADCASTED FROM LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL National Race Congress in Letter Asks Board of Education to Prevent Recurrence of Insulting Program. First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 44 PROTEST OFFENSIVE PROC BROADCAST LOCAL F National Race Congress of Education to Pr Insulting Program. The National Race Congress of America of which Rev. W. H. Jernagin is president, sent a letter to the Board of Education this week protesting against the broadcasting of the song from New Eastern High School on Wednesday, March 26th in which the word "nigger" was frequently used. While this is not the first time this song has been used over the radio, it is the first time that it has been broadcasted from a High School auditorium. As the School Board has jurisdiction over the kind of concerts given in the local schools the National Race Congress officials believe that the School Board should be responsible for the conduct of these concerts. A number of protests have been made against the using of this song and it is hoped that the Board of Education will take steps to prevent its being sung in the public schools. The letter to the School Board follows: PLAN TO WATCH CONGRESS IS A POPULAR ONE Need of Watch Dog in this city is now very apparent Race Congress leaders here are busily making arrangements for the next annual session, which will convene here April 29 to May 2, next. Nothing is being left undone to make this session one of the most far reaching in the history of the organization. Even now units in different parts of the country, including those more recently organized at Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida, and numerous business leagues have signified their intent to send large delegations. The actual establishment of an executive or legislative bureau here at the seat of the American government, where all matters vital to our well being may be closely scrutinized by vigilant, capable and true representatives of our group, seems to be the order of the day throughout the country. The congress included this in its program five years ago but has been held up by other pressing matters. But it is determined to carry the plan through this year and is calling upon one-hundred organizations or persons interested to give or pledge $100 each for this bureau at the annual session next month. The great need for such a medium of information pertaining to racial life cannot be over estimated. Right here watching the congress of the United States, perhaps above every place else, at least while we have no voice there, men of ability and integrity are needed to stand guard and observe in most minutest detail everything savoring of discrimination and race prejudice. Proposals bearing earmarks of barter and duplicity should be immediately detected and flashed to the utmost confines; and so-called representatives from the various political districts found trafficking in Negro rights, under whatever cognomen or pretense, should be dashed to the downmost depths of oblivion. No longer are we content to sit idly by and wholly ignore or view unconcern things designed to operate to our everlasting discomfiture and undoing. The Washington Tribune BROADCAST GRAM IS TED FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL s in Letter Asks Board Prevent Recurrence of Mr. James T. Lloyd, President, Board of Education, Franklin School, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: At a concert at New Eastern High School, given by Robert Lawrence under the sponsorship of the Community Music Association, on the evening of Wednesday, March 26, 1924, a song was sung in which the word "nigger" was used. This concert was broadcast and a number of colored citizens heard this with indignation. Inasmuch as it is considered bad form for cultured American citizenry to use "dage" to the Italian, "wop" to deride the Greek, "sneeny" to deride the Jew, and "mickie" to deride the Irish, and "nigger" or "darky" to deride the colored citizen, and further, as "The Merchant of Venice" is not given on school stages out of respect to the wishes of the Jewish people, this organization requests that steps be taken whereby no one of the above mentioned objectionable words shall be used in entertainments on Public School stages. Respectfully, W. H. JERNAGIN, President, National Race Congress of America Teachers Salary Bill Passes the House New Measure Carries Sufficient Raise to Cover Expiring Bonus By Ike Murray Carrying an increase sufficiently large to cover the loss in bonus that automatically expires July the first next, a bill regulating the pay of teachers and administrative officers, connected with the local public school system, passed the House late Monday afternoon after a spirited debate lasting over two hours. As predicted in the Tribune not long ago, there was little opposition offered against the measure, only that part, concerning the pay of the superintendent. Representative Thomas L. Blanton of Texas, led the fight to fix the salary of the superintendent at $7,500 instead of $10,000 allowed in the Keller schedule, and won. The debate was limited to two hours, now, and then faint efforts cropping out to cut slightly the increase allowed in the administrative branches; but scarcely one instance went on record, where an objection was raised in granting the teachers higher salaries, especially those in the lower grades. There was much evidence long before the House convened, that a great majority of the members were willing to side track any other legislation, that might block the way pertaining to the enactment of the teachers' salary bill. The measure now goes to the Senate and there seems to be no doubt in the minds of those experienced in the affairs of the upper house, when the bill comes for general discussion that the same swiftness of dispatch will be the order of the day. And that we shall have a medium of intelligence—the bureau—so that we might be conversant with all things vital to life itself here in this clime, is evidenced by the increasing interest on the part of our organizations and particularly the fraternities. The heads of certain of our large orders have already signified their intent to support such a bureau, which is now WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 LOCAL UNDER- TAKER EXPAND- ING BUSINESS Modern Equipment and Spacious Show Room are Features Among Washington's most progressive business places, is the Undertaking Establishment of John T. Rhines located at 901 3rd Street, Southwest. Mr. Rhines, the genial proprietor is well known in local business and fraternal circles. He has been en JOHN T. RHINES gaged in the undertaking business over eighteen years, and is considered an expert in the profession. He is a graduate of Fisk University and the Chicago Embalming College. Before coming to Washington, Mr. Rhines was chief embalmer for the Clifford Johnson Company of Chicago and Alsop and McGavock of Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Rhines came to Washington over ten years ago and located at Second and F Streets, Southwest. After several years at this location, he purchased the building he now occupies at 901 3rd Street, Southwest. He holds license for the state of Virginia and the state of Illinois. “Rhines Service” has become known throughout this section, because of the high grade efficient work done under Mr. Rhines' personal supervision. While the service performed by Mr. Rhines comes at the hour of sadness, his big heartedness has nevertheless made many happy by his acts of kindness. Mr. Rhines has recently added another feature to his service in the form of a complete funeral for $100. This new low price is made possible, according to Mr. Rhines, by recent purchases of his in the casket market. He keeps on display at all times samples of the best on the market. In addition to his commodious show room, Mr. Rhines maintains most modern preparation rooms. His chapel will easily accommodate over one hundred people. The company maintains day and night service. The rolling stock consists of two hearses, one dead dagon and several Studebaker sedans. Mr. Rhines specializes in demi-surgery. This has to do with the restoring of features and making a deceased person look as he appeared in life. Mr. Rhines is a member of Morning Star Lodge of Elks; Pathogoros Lodge No. 9, of Masons; Mystic Shrine; Scottish Rite Masons; Rising Sun Lodge of Odd Fellows; Metropolitan Lodge of Knights of Pythias; the St. Lukes, the Moses, Knights of Maccabees, the Y.M.C.A. and the Zion Baptist Church. being viewed as a necessity because of our position in the social and political anatomy. It is therefore hoped that organizations sending representatives to the annual session next month, will send them prepared to help swing open the doors of this great race enterprise. Investigators and special intelligence agents all over the country must be recruited to collect this information, and no time can be lost in view of the many things now transpiring. Refusal to Vote for Murder Verdict While on Jury Nets Man Large Fortune Cleveland, Ohio—Because he cast the only vote against a verdict of murder against a white woman while serving on a jury, James E. Smith, a former undertaker of Washington, D.C., was recently willed a fortune estimated at between $75,000 and $100,-000. Mr. Smith left Washington about nine years ago and went to Springfield, Mass.; from there he went to Cleveland, Ohio and engaged in the undertaking business. According to the story given The URGE YOUNG MEN TO ATTEND CAMP THIS SUMMER URGE YOUNG MEN TO ATTEND CAMP THIS SUMMER Offers Many Opportunities for Training at Government Expense Captain West A. Hamilton in conjunction with the two posts of the American Legion is trying to arouse interest among the local young men to take training in the Citizens' Military Training Camps which will be conducted this year at Camp Meade Md., and Fort Munroe, Va., July 1st to July 30th. The object of these training camps is to bring together annually for a month's training the best representative young American citizens from all sections of the nation; to give them the basis of military instruction and that physical and moral development that will fit them to become influential leaders in their respective communities in times of peace, and leaders for National defense in times of war. All young men between the age limits of seventeen and twenty-four years are eligible for the training. Up to the present time very little interest has been manifested in this type of training by the Negro youth. However, Capt. Hamilton is hoping that he can interest a large number of local young men in the camp for this summer. All the expenses are borne by the Government. The young men are not enlisted in any sense of the word. They are not soldiers but civilians and are regarded as such while in the camp. All young men who are anxious to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity should communicate at once with Captain Hamilton 1353 U Street, Northwest. LIFE INSURANCE AND THE LAW OF MORTALITY By Simeon Cunningham Written for The Federal Life Insurance Company Before the discovery of the law of mortality and its application by Life Insurance, a man's power to support his family was limited by the length of his life. If life's tides ebbed before the full strength of his days and, in the moon of life, man was gathered to his fathers, we placed the blame her failure t usupport the family upon fate. But, since the application of the law of mortality, Life Insurance has brought the responsibility back to man's own door. Men have always been seeking some hint or prophecy of how long they would live or how long individuals would live. Early in man's existence there arose the cry "teach us Lord to number our days." They studied the stars above, and, without satis- Cleveland Call last week by Mr. Smith he was selected as one of the twelve jurymen to try a murder case which involved a white woman as the principal. After the evidence had been heard, the jury voted eleven to one for conviction, Smith alone maintaining that the woman should be freed. So firm was his stand that, after long deliberation, the jury was brought around to his viewpoint and the accused woman was freed. To the great surprise of Smith, he learned that the woman whom he had been instrumental in freeing was none other than the niece of a millionaire. Highland Beach Fast Growing Community Highland Beach Fast Growing Community Every effort is being made this year by the Commissioners of Highland Beach, Md., to make this resort one of the most popular in the country. Highland Beach is populated by prominent people from Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The community was recently incorporated and now enjoys the status of a township. Three-fourths of the road tax paid to the county by the citizens of this community is now returned annually to the community to be spent on streets and roads. The community boasts of twenty or twenty-five modern houses and one of the finest beaches in the county. Much activity has been going on at the resort during the winter months. New cottages have been erected by Graham B. Reed; Prof. M. Grant Lucas; O. T. Taylor and the Y.W.C.A. Electricity and telephone service have been extended to the community. The township is governed by Commissioners. Commissioners for the coming year are Prof. Haley Douglass, Dr. M. A. Francis, Mrs. Eula Gray, O. T. Taylor and E. B. Henderson. Prof. M. Grant Lucas is clerk and Norman D. Murray is treasurer for the Commissioner. In addition to the Commissioners there is a club known as the Highland Beach Community Association. This club looks after the social activities of the colony; also during the winter months plans dances and other activities to raise money for community improvements. The Community Association as part of its program is now planning for a big dance Friday, May 9th at Murray Casino. Mrs. M. A. Francis is chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements. This dance is the last one before the opening of the summer season on the bay. WILL CELEBRATE FOUNDER'S DAY Tuskegee, Ala.—Saturday, April 5 will be celebrated as Founder's Day at Tuskegee Institute.

The correct answer finally came, and with it, an indication of the use that could be made of it. The answer came from man himself and it established a new bond of kinship. It became at once a physical law of which every man, he who walks the earth, he who slumbers in her bosom or he who has not yet marked the course of the sun in its flight—was a part. Out of it grew a co-operation marked by peace, fairness, confidence, kindness, justice, responsibility, faith and efficiency, and these rules, unto this day, characterize this co-operation—Life Insurance.

Time passed and Smith had all but forgotten the incident but the aunt didn't, and in her will, which was probated after her death, was found a clause leaving Smith $12,000. To his further amazement Smith found out that the father of the girl was also a millionaire and that he had deeded him thousands of dollars worth of real estate in the North, two fine automobiles, one a Rolls-Royce, and a considerable sum of cash. When the estate is settled and Smith gets possession of all that is due him, he will be worth at least $75,000 and probably $100,000. MASONS DONATE TO LEGISLATIVE BUREAU MASONS DONATE TO LEGISLATIVE BUREAU $100 Donated after Speech by Rev. Jernagin on Subject Jacksonville, Fla.—Rev. W. A. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress and Pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., was the honored guest of the most worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Masons in the 54th annual session held in this city. Dr. Jernagin addressed an audience of over two thousand people in the New Masonic Temple here on "Racial Conditions." He urged his race to stop complaining and walling, but to work like other races, until they worked out their own future. "This is a busy age," he said, "and men are too busy looking after their own affairs to bother with a baby race. If you would come into your own it must be through industry, honesty, reliability, thrift and a ballot. A voteless people is a helpless people and we are anxious that everywhere our people shall have the ballot for self protection. "The National Race Congress which convenes in the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, Washington, D.C., on April 29 is going to take up the question of constitutional amendments. Every organization in the country should be represented, and then we must maintain a bureau in Washington to look after the interests of the Negro." Responses to the address were made by Dr. H. Y. Tookes and Grand Master D. D. Powell, and Mrs. Inez T. Alston, Grand Matron. The Grand Lodge appropriated one hundred dollars towards the maintenance of the bureau. FANS ASKED TO TAKE PART IN PARADE With the opening of the baseball season of the Eastern League a little over, three weeks off, Manager Ben H. Taylor of the Washington Potomacs is fast completing plans for the opening program. The season here will open Thursday, April 24th. It is planned to have a big street parade before the fireworks begin at American League Park. Local fans are invited to participate in the parade. It is the hope of the management to have at least fifty cars in line. Following the practice established last year, each car that is entered in the parade will receive a free pass to the game. Fans who desire to enter their cars and receive the free pass are asked to register their names at the headquarters of the local club. This can be done by calling Potomac 2538; or by addressing a card to the Parade Manager, 1915 Third Street, N.W. Names which are registered will appear each week in The Tribune.

NIPPED Whites Can Move if they Don't like Quarters, says Dean New York City—When complaints were made to Dean Hawkes against Frederick W. Wells who resides in Furnald Hall at Columbia University with a view of ousting him because he was colored, the dean not only defended the Negro student, but rebuked the whites for making the complaint. In rebuking the white committee that made the complaint against Wells, Dean Hawkes said: "The residence halls of the university are for the benefit of all the students. If a student finds his surroundings uncongenial, there is no need for him to stay. There are hundreds on the waiting lists, and any vacancy can be filled at once. "It has not been the usage to exclude any man from the residence halls on the ground of his parentage. "At the time application for a room is made, there is no inquiry as to the race or nationality of the applicant. There have always been Negroes at Columbia as well as students of other nationalities, and no discrimination is counteracted against any one. "No protest regarding Wells has been received by the committee responsible for the residence halls." While it is claimed that Wells is the first Negro to live in Furnald Hall for several years, there is no bar to Negroes living there. Wells's room is on the fifth floor. The fifth floor representative on the House Committee is D. R. White, an instructor in physics, who said last night he had never heard that Wells' behaviour was in the least objectionable. Mr. White added: "There are other fellows on this floor whom I would rather see go, insofar as cleanliness and good conduct are concerned." Among the lodgers in the hall are Japanese, Hindus, Chinese and students from various European countries. Unlike Harvard, Columbia has refused to permit a few southern students to run the entire school. Wells moved into Furnald Hall March 5. After it became known he occupied a room there a discussion arose among other occupants of the hall, and feeling reached its height Monday night when the entire body of the opposition to Wells was talking of packing up and getting out without waiting for breakfast Tuesday. Complaints of these students were laid before J. B. Rucker, Chairman of the House Committee, a native of Virginia. It is reported Mr. Ruckner asked members of the committee to investigate and report at a special meeting, the date of which was not announced. Opinions of members of the committee were strong enough against Wells, it is said, to cause the controversy to be taken up by the university authorities. Members of the committee claim to have received reports that, in addition to his being a Negro (their first cause of objection), Wells is an "objectionable tenant," who entertains his friends in his room until late at night, and these gatherings produce much unnecessary noise. NORTH BRENTWOOD GETS CHARTER According to a bill which recently passed the Maryland legislature, North Brentwood, Maryland, will have a charter separate from that of Brentwood. The bill provided that North Brentwood could incorporate as a separate community. The bill has passed both houses of the legislature. This ends a long fight between the two communities. Brentwood is populated mostly by whites while North Brentwood is populated mostly by Negroes. LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Sermons for the Eastertide The Rev, J. L. S.

Lincoln Congregational Temple At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "Jesus or Barabbas?" This generation is offering to us just as truly as did the first century offer to its generations, the highest spiritual values or the cold materialism of the world. Which will we accept? That is for us to answer. Come and hear this discussion which will be pregnant with thought and suggestion. At the evening service, Dr. A. D. Chandler, father of Mrs. Brooks, State missionary of Michigan, will preach. Special music at the evening service. DR.

Mr. Lewis discusses the play from the viewpoint of the artist, while Mr. Rogers, as well known Race author, considers its wide sociological implications. These two articles are bound to create wide attention throughout the United States and Europe. One of the most mysterious, weird and thrilling stories of Negro life written since Batouala, is "Raum-Sheba" (The Ruby Girl) by Mamie Elaine Francis, a young Negro writer of great ability. It is as gripping as a story from the Arabian Nights. By far it is the best story of the year by a Negro author. Mme. E. M. Perry, 1223 T St., N.W. Mrs. Emma Taylor, 715 Euclid St., N.W. Mrs. Lucy E.

LOCAL MINISTER HONORED The Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, D.D., who is secretary of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Washington and vicinity, has returned from Pennsylvania where he held successful Quarterly Conferences with the A.M.E. Zion Churches at York and Harrisburg. In connection with his own church work Dr. Killingsworth has been authorized by Bishop J. S. Caldwell to complete a part of the work of district superintendent of the Washington District made vacant by the recent death of Presiding Elder S. Q. Swann. In a recent issue of the Star of Zion, official organ of the A.M.E. Zion Connection, the Editor paid this rapidly advancing divine the following unique compliment: "Dr. F. R. Killingsworth, our pastor at Arlington, is a bright light in the Washington Zion leadership. He is a descendant of that noble sire of South Carolina, and a product of the Zion group. He is a fine asset to our group as a preacher and enterprising pastor, a thinker and an alert publicist. His wife, Mrs. Laura A. Killingsworth, is a physician and has a lucrative practice."

All Admire Her Lovely Hair Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her. She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxurant. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen. She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for slow complexions and skin bleamishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improved appearance. Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier.

On rising, Tuesday A. M. the local chieftain found a nice white blanket of snow. But not to be outdone, took his warriors to the Y.M.C.A. gym where he will look them over until the grounds are in condition. While Taylor has had very little time to look the squad over, he is nevertheless highly elated over the appearance of most of the newcomers, especially the pitchers. —Already Smith, Newsome, and Bell have attracted the pilot's eye. Chase, Banks, Reid, Bland, Clark, Barner and the veteran campaigner "Stringbean" Williams have not taken part in indoor work-outs, as yet. With two exceptions the entire group of infielders and outfielders are in camp. Of course, no direct line can be gotten on them. Those in camp are: Owens, Goodrich, Hamilton, Anderson, Holland and Sidney, infielders: and Brown, Washington, Shiverley, Miller, Fells, outfielders; Williams and Eggleston, catchers. President Wants Winner President Wants Winner George W. Robinson, president of the Potomac Baseball Club, was in the city for two days last week. President Robinson expressed himself as being highly pleased with the material gathered by Manager Taylor. He believes that the Washington public will rally to the P's support, if given a strong aggregation. Mr. Robinson has instructed Tayer to go out and get a winning combination regardless of expense. President Robinson is owner of the Roadside Hotel, the leading Race Hotel in Philadelphia. The new secretary of the club, Charles L. Hopkins has taken up his duties. Mr. Hopkins is also a Philadelphia and is a man of many years baseball experience. The club's headquarters will be located at 1915 3rd St., N.W., the residence and office of Manager Taylor. Outfielder Shively Signed Failing to get Jones, the clubbing outfielder from Birmingham, Taylor went after and landed another star of much greater fame in the person of George Shively, the fleet-footed outfielder from the Indianapolis Club of the National League. The newly acquired luminary hardly needs any introduction, as most fans are well aware of the fact that for years Shively has been one of the Race's leading baseball players. Baseball experts claim that the outfield composed of Shively, Lyons and Charleston, that represented the Indianapolis A. B. C. Club in 1918, was the greatest in the history of Negro baseball. Alpha Evens Count With Omega Held to four insignificant "goals from fouls" in their initial encounter with the Delta "5" of the Omega Psi Phi, the Lightning "5" of the Alpha Phi Alpha came back with a vengeance at the Colonnade, Saturday, and evened the series score with their rivals for the Howard University fraternity championship in one of the most bitterly fought games on record. Inability to check Eddie Lowry, a veteran of the basketball court, but still the possessor of a keen shooting eye, was the direct cause of Omega's defeat. Lowry scored five field goals, all from difficult angles. He had less than ten shots at the basket. The guarding of Clarkson and Meroney also stool out for the winner. The teamplay of the Delta combination slightly overshadowed the Alpha team but with an apparent safe lead, the Eleventh Streeters failed in their attempt to "freeze" the ball and the Lightning "5" went on to win by the count, 19 to 17. Deciding Game Today The deciding game of the series will be played this afternoon (Saturday) at the Colonnade. There will only be one game which will start at 1:30 o'clock. BLACKMON STAYS IN WEST Only one western player was absent when the Eastern League special pulled out of Indianapolis, Monday. This player was Blackmon, the A. B. G. Bird-haseman. Hallway, Carr, Kane, Fullen and Day are now in Baltimore. Jeffries and Daniels are in Harrisburg. Collegians Busy on Track & Diamond SPORTS CHATTER VETERANS BRIGHTEN HOWARD TRACK HOPES Howard track hopes took a sudden leap upward last week with the appearance of Leo Robinson and excaptain Craft on the cinder path. It took much urging to get this pair of "speed marvels" of Penn Relay fame to dot the spiked shoes and prepare to represent Howard for the coming season. Both Robinson and Craft are seniors in the Medical School and their decision to prepare for the coming track season meant a great sacrifice on their part. A dozen quarter-milers and half-milers have been working out for over two weeks. The relay team lost a worthy member when Bridges was forced to go home from school before Christmas in an effort to save his health. His place will be extremely hard to fill. Among the most promising of the group of runners are: Bright, a veteran of many stretch duels; Hill, a Kansan; Smith, a youngster from Colorado and Johnson, an ex-Wilberforce runner; Warren, Wyndon, Terrence, Pendleton, Thomas, Striplin, Brown and Walker. HAMPTON ANNOUNCES BASE BALL SCHEDULE BY CHARLES H. WILLIAMS Hampton, Va., April 2—The Hampton Institute baseball team will play two games each with several teams in the C.I.A.A. this spring. At the last meeting of the Association it was decided that a team would have to play eight association games before it could be considered for championship honors. Great interest is being taken in baseball this year and the "Seasiders" expect to have a baseball team that will take a place in collegiate competition similar to that which has been taken by Hampton football and basketball teams. Besides the regular varsity schedule a class league of six teams will be conducted during the coming season. Hampton Baseball Schedule April 5-St. Paul (at home) 5—St. Paul (at home) 11—St. Paul (at Lawrenceville) 12—V.N.I.I. (at Petersburgh) 19—Union (at Richmond) 26—Howard (at home) May— 3—V.N.I.I.

Gunn, Stockbridge, Mass.; Edward Hargrove, New York, N. Y.; M. Alfred McNichols, Jr., New York, N.Y.; Chester R. Jones, New Rochelle, N. Y.; William H. Lambright, Jr., Kansas City, Kans.; Ernest L. Simmons, Brunswick, Ga. Chester R. Jones, who played a consistent game at forward on the 1924 team, has been elected captain for 1925. MOREHOUSE WINS ANOTHER SLUGFEST March, 26, 1924, Atlanta, Ga.—Morehouse defeated Clark University in what at first seemed destined to be a baseball game—but which Morehouse later turned into a track meet. The final score was 21-8 with Morehouse on the long end. Clark, fresh from his recent victory over Tuskegee, held Morehouse for the long first two innings, the count being 3-3 when the inning closed, but the Tiger's barrage started in the third and drove Johnson from the box after four men had crosed the plate. J. Williams came in from right field and took up the pitching burden. J. Williams did some good pitching for Clark and with better support would have held Morehouse to a closer score. His teammates, however, made errors at critical moments. Their batting was not up to its usual standard, getting a total of eight hits. Sykes, Idlett, and Kelley were the batting stars of the game, Kelley's long clouting being the outstanding feature. Collins, a recruit, started the game for Morehouse and held Clark at all stages of the game. In the eighth he was relieved by "Letty" Coleman, another recruiter who, was as wild as the "Man from Borneo." Before the inning was over he had walked three men and hit another. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 WILBERFORCE BOOKS WHITE GRID TEAM Wilberforce Athletic Field has been real active with the coming of a few days of good weather. The track squad of twenty men, the baseball squad of forty men, and the football squad of thirty-two men are very busy under the tutorage of Coaches Jefferson and Mohr. The track team has been entered in the Ohio Relays at Columbus, Ohio, April 19. The Varsity Track men of last year back are Capt. Sedwick and Willett. The promising new men are Neal Thompson, "Wu Fang" Ward and "Country" Lewis of basketball fame, Curtis, Clark, Freeman, Spencer, Smith, J. Thompson and Sears. The baseball team has a very heavy schedule for the coming season, playing the following white colleges—Wilmington, Muskingum, Antioch and Capitol along with West Virginia Institute and Kentucky Normal. Spring Football Practice The Wilberforce football team will play Carroll College (white) of Cleveland, Ohio in the latter city on October 4th. A number of years ago Wilberforce met Blufton College (white) on the football field. Spring football was inaugurated at Wilberforce by Coach Jefferson and Captain-elect "Scotty" Brown. About thirty-two men were out kicking, passing and running with the ball. Many new faces were seen in the football practice. **Lewis to Lead Quint** Caston "Country" Lewis picked by the critics on the second all-American basketball team was elected basketball captain for 1924-1925. The basketball story of Burnett Hudson, the all-American center of Wilberforce University reads like fiction. From a "sub" on the third team to the star, on the first team in one season is the record of Hudson. The much discussed basketball player, "Wu Fang" Ward of Wilberforce may not obtain the all-American berth, but his work stands out with a record of seventeen games and having scored seventy-two points by field goals against the players he has opposed, total field goals of thirty-two points. "LIONS" TO MAKE SOUTHERN TRIP By E. W. Turner Responding to the call of Coach U. S. Young, Jr., thirty stalwart sons of Lincoln doomed uniforms shouldered bats and trotted out on the local diamond for the initial workout of the 1924 campaign. Due to the inclementy of the weather practice had been up hold but from now on Coach Young plans to drive his pets thru a strenuous seige in preparation for one of the hardest schedules they have faced in years. Manager Jefferson is arranging an extensive trip South as far as Atlanta, Ga. to play Morehouse College, Atlanta and Morris Brown Universities. Upon their return from the Southern trip the Lions will cross bats with the C. I. A. A. teams for the inter-collegiate honors which promises to furnish a hot struggle with the entrance of Hampton into the baseball field this year. At present there are only a few dates open. Information regarding these dates may be had from Phillip G. Jefferson, Manager of the baseball team, Lincoln University, Pa. The team promises to be the best in years as, Captain "Naylor" Crudup, Frazier, Whirlwind Johnson, Bal Taylor and C. P. Johnson, better known as "Little Pops," are in the best of form. The only men lost by graduation were "Eggie" Tompkins, and "Big Pops" Johnson. The weak points are being amply filled by such men as "Puss" Reid, Walls, "Horse" Hill, Miller, "Shorty" Hubbard, 2nd, and Braden. PLAN ASSOCIATION OF COACHES A plan is being formulated whereby the coaches of the various colleges will meet in Louisville, Chicago, Wilberforce, Washington or Atlanta sometime in May or June. The purpose of the meeting shall be to form an association of coaches and to improve the status of athletics in Negro colleges. The association will be divided into three groups: faculty representatives; athletic directors and coaches; and officials. MAMMOTH COLLEGE TRACK YEAR PREDICTED The greatest track year in history is predicted for our colleges. Howard and Hampton athletic authorities have announced that their track and field meets this year will be bigger and better than ever. Other colleges have promised to "make" these meets by sending to them as full a representation as possible. All of this, too, in view of the fact that track athletics is each college's biggest annual financial loss. The Howard track and field meet is booked for May 12, while the Hampton meet follows one week later. Director Watson is working overtime to make the local attraction draw a big city following. He hopes to have Charles West, captain of the Washington and Jefferson college track squad and Ned Gourdin, former Harvard star and holder of the world's broadjump record, compete in a special event, preferably a pentathlon which covers five events. At the Hampton meet the cream of our track stars will be picked for the final Olympic tryouts which will be held at the Harvard Stadium. At this time everything points to a great track year.

AFRO-AMERICAN SPORTS READERS WILL MISS "BILL" READY The athletic world mourns the death of William A. Ready who for a number of years was Sports Editor of the Baltimore Afro-American. Ready was one of the most capable and versatile writers on sports among our group. Afro readers will miss his rich spicy and fearless stories on athletes and athletics. The ranks of the Negro Sport writers—already far below par—suffers further with the passing of such an able correspondent. Alcoes Humbled by Tech Five Quite recently the fast Carlisle team lost a game to the faster Alcoes team the latter claimed the city championship. If this process of reasoning is continued then the Alcoes have lost their title by virtue of the defeat which was severely administered to them on Monday, March 31, by the remarkable squad under Coach Miller at the Armstrong High School. The undisputed claim has been shattered and the Alcoes are now wondering what happened when the boys of the Armstrong School closed a season of thirty-two games by coralling the champions to the score of 21 to 12. It is seldom that our city has seen such a smooth and clever bit of passing, dribbling, guarding, shooting and freezing of the ball as the youngsters demonstrated to "Judge" Smith and his aggregation on the Armstrong floor on Monday afternoon. It was admitted that the odds were against the youngsters of school age and that the Alcoes were by far more experienced, but when the whistle blew and the score was announced the Alcoes hauled down their banner and departed like the silent slave at midnight. According to the score every player on the Tech team scored points while Berry with foul goals and Harris with one field goal were the only point scorers for the Alcoes. REPUBLI W. E. L.

AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT LOCAL FANS WILL SEE Most local fans read of the great performance of "Cannon Ball" Joe Williams, pitching for the Brooklyn Royal Giants in New York, Sunday, when he fanned 25 batsmen, but lost a 12 inning game to the Bushwicks, an aggregation made-up of former big leaguers, by the score, 4 to 3. This is the brand of baseball that the Eastern League clubs will present to Washington this season. While Williams is well known, there are other pitchers in the league that are rated above him.

Theatrical News MAE MARSH IN "DADDIES" AT THE REPUBLIC Reputed to be one of the worthwhile screen offerings of the current season, a pictureurization of David Belasco's famous Broadway hit, "Daddies," made under the supervision of the noted producer himself, will be the feature attraction at the Republic on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 6, 7, 8, and 9. Prominent in the cast of "Daddies" is Mae Marsh, whom patrons of the Republic will remember as "the girl who couldn't stop loving" in D. W. Griffith's "The White Rose." Miss Marsh again gives a sympathetic portrayal in "Daddies." It is the story of five men, who while yet in college form a bachelor's club and each agrees not to mary unless he first pays a $5,000 resignation fee to the club. Harry Myers, Claire Adams, Claude Gillingwater and Crauford Kent are others in the cast. Marry Carey is the pictures star in "The Night Hawk" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 10, 11 and 12. In this picture, Carey plyas a dual role, being a clever crook in the East and a noted outlaw in the West. Eventually this interpl young taker of chances falls genuinely in love and throws all of his insight into criminality on the side of the law. The settings range from Broadway's broken skyline to the majestic mountain country of the Far West. Comedies, the newsreel, short subjects and the Republic Theatre Orchestra, under the direction of A. Russell Wooding, are incidental to the feature pictures throughout the week. Mother Love—untiring, magnificent, all-consuming—that is the basis of the tremendous theme running thru "The Lullaby." Chester Bennett's intensely dramatic offering, starring Jane Novak, which comes to the Broadway Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There have been other mothers portrayed on the screen, mothers whose faith in their erring children has been predominant; humorous mothers, and mothers in whom a note of sorrow was the outstanding characteristic. The mother which Miss Novak portrays in the first part of "The Lulla- denial, the repression, and the tragedy of her removal from the one who is dearest to her, that Miss Novak rises supreme.

When it is mentioned most people visualize some bewhiskered gentleman, who, they think, would change the scheme of things by a magic wave of his hand. He is only one rare type of radical. Again, are you a radical? We have radicals in every phase of life. And it is truly fortunate for civilization that Nature has planted within the minds of some men that restlessness and contempt for the conventional in business, science, religion, education and politics, which leaas to all progress. Radicalism is the real fountain head of every forward movement. Without radicalism there would be no progress. We would be still living in caves and using sling shots for weapons. Many men are original in their thinking but permit their ideas to perish in their minds for the lack of courage to advance them. An idea is worthless without the necessary energy behind it to develop it. A locomotive is of little service without the energy generated by fire and water. In the average case it is not laziness that holds a man back from trying a new idea. It is fear. He is afraid to be radical. He is afraid that the idea will not prove sound and will carry him down to defeat. Radicalism makes the world an interesting place in which to live. It is responsible for all that is new and different. Creative radical thought is the most powerful thing in the world. Centuries ago the Chinese stopped thinking radically and you know the result. To be radical requires the courage necessary to face criticism and possible failure. As we thumb the pages of history we note that all of the great characters who stand on the horizon were radicals in thought and action. George Washington was a radical, an original thinker. Benjamin Franklin was radical in his writings, which made them stand out clear and different from the rest of his contemporaries. Henry Ford was a radical in thinking that he could make an automobile to sell in the reach of the average citizen. His proposition was declared unsound and even silly. He made it and made money with it. F. W. Woolworth was a radical dare-devil when he started his chain of five and ten cent stores. Result, a millionaire and the builder of the tallest building in the world. Edison was declared a radical scientist when he began experimenting with a non-combustible light. Result, the incandescent electric light and the wonderful improvement in illumination of the home, factory, school and streets. William Wrigley did not like the taste of the then existing chewing gum. He produced his "Juicy Fruit" and went that one better with "Spearmint." He was also radical in his advertisements which has resulted in making him many times a millionaire. Only two years ago a man by the name of Rypinski started to broadcasting radio from a plant in Pittsburgh. He had a new idea. Some men even laughed at him and told him it would not work. But today Rypinski is recognized as the father of radio, the new American institution. Small, immature and unhealthy minds cannot understand the viewpoint of a radical person. Intolerance is most deeply planted in those who are not original themselves. The man with a small imagination and a rubber spinal column is usually the one to cry out radical. The man who thinks as his friends think seldom gets very far. He forgets that his friends would have more respect for him if he had his own ideas although they were different. Radicals are the leaders of men. A man cannot lead when he has the same ideas as the men he is going to lead. To keep his men following him, a leader must always keep ahead of their thoughts, and continue winning them over to his new ideas. Are you afraid to be a radical? Are you afraid to do what other great men of history have done? Would you rather have the crowd against you or with you? If they are with you, life runs smoothly; if they are against you, it is because you think differently from the rest. Are you a radical? Radicals are in the vanguard of civilization. Their faces are always to the rising sun; their thoughts always to the future never toward the past. Don't be afraid to be a radical. M. B.

The participants in the solemn High Mass were: celebrant, Tellia; pastor, Elli; deacon, Dr. Maroney of Baltimore; sub deacon, Father Brunna. The sermon was by Dr. Edward Murphy of Baltimore. At the close of services Father Monsignor Thomas congratulated the church on the large attendance at the opening of the new house of worship, and stated that he was acting for Archbishop Curley on account of the Bishop's other Sunday engagements. On the altar platform were Father Wheeler, Father Cowan of the St. Dominicans and Father Tobian. On the program there was a duet by Mrs. Elva Plater and Miss M. Alice Johnson; a solo by Miss Nena Contee; also a quartet under the direction of Prof. Hillary Taylor. After the services, an elaborate five course dinner was served by Mr. Thomas A. Dorsey, caterer for the Helping Hand Club. The auxiliaries of the different Commanderies to the Knights of St. John were largely represented; also the guild of the Good Shepherd, the Marhta Circle, and the Young Ladies Club were largely represented. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 "Work is impossible if one is not prepared for work." Last week we made a few observations on the present Executive's administration. Since the matter went to press, more has occurred to verify our observations. Mr. ible if one is not prepared for work.' Last week we made a few observations on the present Executive's administration. Since the matter went to press, more has occurred to verify our observations. Mr. I. L. Parker Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General of the United States, has been dismissed, because President Coolidge could no longer stand the criticisms thrown at him and, as Mr. Daugherty explains it, for "political expediency." Mr. Daugherty's unfitness to be Attorney General of the United States can be easily proved by his legal and official record. It is one of a clever political manager, an astute manipulator of Government-serving corporation clients; but not one of a great lawyer as we generally understand the practice of law. He knew politics in a sense. His opinion might have bee ntrustworthy in case of organization factions; but such skill in political intrigue does not constitute fitness for a cabinet post. He was found wanting in every respect, when measured by the historical standards of the office of the Attorney General. Yet, it took three years of Daugherty to convince the Nation and the Senators who voted to confirm his appointment, that he was unfit for the position and should go. Mr. Coolidge decided, as only he could, when? We are not here so much interested in the why Mr. Daugherty was dismissed, as in the how. Mr. Coolidge took advantage of neither of the two courses open to him to dispose of this undesirable furniture: that of letting Daugherty out with Denby on the ground that the country could not trust Daugherty to attack the corruption which has been uncovered; or of standing by Daugherty, during the investigatoin, until he had had his day in court. Mr. Coolidge was in a dilemma. He knew not what to do. Having waited, as in the Boston police strike, until the trend of public sentiment was unmistakable, he decided that Friday, March 28th, or as soon as possible thereafter, was the opportune time for Daugherty to go. In his letter, asking for Daugherty's resignation, he evaded every question of principle involved and threw him out, like Denby, on an adopted pretext, a pretext that Daugherty had no trouble in puncturing. The day the Wheeler-Brookart committee began to investigate Daugherty is the day that he was placed in "two positions" and not Friday of last week. If he was not dismissed, because of unfitness, at the beginning of this investigation, he should have been allowed to remain until he had had a chance to defend himself. Daugherty's reply that "if a member of the Cabinet is to be incapacitated or disqualified by the preferment of charges against him then no man in any official position is safe," is therefore correct. The pretext on which Mr. Coolidge made the dismissal makes Daugherty a martyr and convicts the President of indiction, blindness, inability to comprehend the real issues involved. What is most needed is that the Nation be assured that it can depend on the President to cleanse the Administration. Like Simon Peter in his denial of Christ, his character has vacillated between obstinate resolution and momentary cowardice. He shares not the indignation of the country nor its will to end the scandals in Washington. He hesitates and weighs political expediences in fear of damnation. He kept Daugherty out of fear; dismissed him for the same reason. A few more such as this and the legend of his silent strength will be no more. To-morrow, April 6, will be the fifteenth anniversary of that historic day on which Old Glory was unfurled to the Arctic breezes while three lusty cheers were given by six human beings standing atop the world. Matthew A. Henson, Commander Peary's Negro companion, the Commander, and four Eskimos were the six who participated in the demonstration. As far as we have been able to ascertain, Henson only is left of that group to tell the story of the fight with nature in a land of treacherous ice and snow; of the successful dash to the earth's most Northern point. He is now employed as a clerk in the New York Custom House. Henson was born on the Potomac in Charles County, Md., in 1867. He was only eight years old when his parents died. His uncle took him in charge then, but was so cruel the or- phan made his get away to Washington. At the age of nine, he began a six years' cruise of the sea, visiting Australia, Japan, and other western countries. At the age of fifteen he came back to Washington and obtained employment in a hat and furrier store where, through recommendation, he came to the attention of the Commander. A better reflection of Commodore Peary's appreciation of Henson has not been found than that which appears in a foreword by him published in a book written by his assistant on "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole." "Friends of Arctic exploration and discovery," eulogizes Peary, "with whom I have come in contact, and many whom I know by letter, have been greatly interested in the fact of a colored man being an effective member of a serious expedition, and going North, not once, but numerous times during a period of over twenty years in a way that showed he not only could endure and did endure all the stress of Arctic conditions and work, but that he evidently found pleasure in the work. "The example and experience of Matthew Henson, who has been a member of each and all my Arctic expeditions since 1891, . . . is only another one of the multiplying illustrations of the fact that race, or color, or bringing up, or environment count nothing against a determined heart, if it is backed and aided by intelligence. "Henson proved his fitness by long and thorough apprenticeship, and his participation in the final victory which planted the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole and won for this country the international prize of nearly four centuries is a distinct credit and feather in the cap of his race. "He, son of the Tropics, has proven through years his ability to stand tropical, temperate, and the fiercest stress of frigid climate and exposure while on the other hand it is well known that the inhabitants of the highest North, tough and hardly as they are to the rigors of their own climate, succumb very quickly to the vagaries of even temperate climate. "And it is an interesting fact that in the final conquest of the 'prize of centuries' not alone individuals but races were represented. On that bitter, brilliant day in April, 1909, when the Stars and Stripes floated at the North Pole, Caucasian, Ethiopian, and Mongolian stood side by side at the apex of the earth in harmonious companionship resulting from hard work, exposure, danger, and a common object." COLORED CITIZENS OF HAMP TON BUY COMMUNITY CENTER Hampton, Va., April 2—"Jubilee Night" was recently celebrated at the "Hampton Community House," when T. S. Settle of Washington, D. C., serving as the representative of Community Service, Incorporated, which has developed a National program, handed over to the Hampton Colored Community Service, Incorporated, a deed for the attractive and centrally located property which was developed during the World War as a recreation center by War-Camp Community Service and which was recently purchased for $5000 by the colored citizens of Hampton, under the leadership of the Rev. E. H. Hamilton, who, since the war, has continued to develop a spirit of self-help and co-operation among colored citizens.

This sum is to be used to erect and equip a modern fire-proof building to contain a Chapel, Lecture Room, Library, Study Rooms, and Offices of the school at a cost of $124,000; to provide an endowment of $216,000 to insure a Faculty who shall be specialists in their departments; to provide a sum of $130,000 for the Extension Department so that it can meet the large demands of hundreds of uneducated ministers who are eager to make themselves more fit in their pastorates; and to build a number of Faculty dwelling houses at a cost of $30,000; the total need being $500,000. A definite step as the means of giving impetus to the School of Religion campaign was taken when the Advisory Board of the Howard University School of Religion held its annual meeting at the University on Friday afternoon, March 28th of this year. The Advisory Board of the School of Religion of Howard is now headed by The Right Reverend James E. Freeman of Washington, D.C., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Diocese of Washington, President; Rev. Dr. Henry S. Huntington, of New York City, Secretary; Dr. Emmett J.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1924 LETTERS OUR LETTERT BOX WILLIAM EDOUARD SCOTT, PAINTER Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, March 11, 1884, Mr. William Edouard Scott received his early education in the public schools of that city. In June 1803 he was graduated from the Manual Training High School and immediately received an appointment as assistant art instructor at the school—the only Negro to teach in the Indianapolis high schools. Two years later the young instructor become a student at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1910 Mr. Scott journeyed to Paris to pursue his studies further. During his four years in Europe the young artist studied at the Julian Academy, Beaux Arts, Colarossi Academy, and in the studio of Henry Ossawa Tanner.

In going through school I have met with a number of difficulties but I succeeded in overcoming them by doing certain things which I mention below.

I like music and therefore, the musical talent of Miss Ruth Coleman appealed to me. I am always glad when some one of my race gets to a place where he receives honor. Last week my heart was sore as were the hearts of many scholars at Mott School. Miss M. M. Lee was my teacher in the first semester, and I was very fond of her. She was a very good teacher, the very best one I have ever had. It was quite a shock to the members of Mott School when they learned of her death, but I have tried to stop grieving because I know God does all things for the best. I received my report card a few days ago and I was excellent in everything. Not a mark below E. I'm trying to do good work so I'll be able to get another report like that one. Give my love to all the Tribunites, please, yourself included. "MUSICIAN" (12) Dear Editor: I would like very much to become a member of the "Children's Page." My name is Virginia Blackwell. I live at 1436 Corcoran Street, Northwest. This is the first time that I have written to you. I love my mother. I have a very nice teacher; her name is Miss Parks. I am twelve years old.

In 1918 the city of Indianapolis purchased a picture—"A Rainy Night in Etaples"—for the permanent collection of its Art Institute, a worthy tribute to an accomplished native son. His most recent commissions include an historical painting which illustrates the signing of the treaty between the Indians and Governor Edwards in 1819. This mural painting hangs in a bank in Edwardsville, Illinois. In addition to these there are nine mural paintings of Egyptian design and two large historical ones.

Adams RACHEL WALKER RECITAL Rachael Walker, coloratura soprano sang before a small audience in recital last Monday evening at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church. She opened her program with Gounod's "Ave Maria" with mellow voice and caressing quality. In her second group she sang some entirely inconsequential songs, ordinary songs that did not suit her. One does not include Smith's "June" which she gave a fascinating deep quality and "Baby Dear" by Buck in well sustained melody and sweetness. Benedict's "The Wren" was disappointing. The quality was thick and her tones were not well defined nor well articulated. Burleigh's "Saracen Songs" proved interesting in both character and music. Of the four songs, "O Night of Dreams" was rendered with charming delicacy and "I Hear His Footsteps" evidenced the deep rich quality of voice in the lower registers and there is where she radiates as soloist. Her middle voice indeed is beautiful and pleasing to the car. She closed with "Villanelle" by Del Acqua and gave the "Last Rose of Summer" as encore, the second encore of the evening. Rachael Walker possesses an artistic temperament and there is cultured presence in recital. However, she was not in good voice, her upper voice being noticeably pinched from a cold in the head. It shrilled the upper voice though it did not mar her low tones except for some slight huskiness. At the piano, Miss Mary Europe gave some very effective interpretations, and Joseph H. Douglass, violinist, was the assisting artist. The recital was presented by Bessie T. Barbre, chairman, and Mrs. Edmonston.

W. building, and during the week, has addressed two high schools and also spoke before the Baptist Ministers' Union. The Inter-Denominational Minister's Alliance, held their meeting in their gymnasium last Monday and every minister present expressed gratification, at the splendid manner in which the "Y" is meeting a great need in this city, and the wonderful work it is doing for the girls of our race. Mrs. Bannerjee, spoke of the great needs of such a place for the girls and young widows of India.

COLUMBIA REALTY & INVESTMENT CO., Jesse H. Mitchell, President. Y. W. C. A. NOTES when it means something worth while; is easy to understand, unites the family and helps make playtime in the home as attractive to young and old as any other recreation. "Radio" is doing this very thing just now. It's the music that lives and it's in the air every day and night. When you look at a picture it tells a story by design and contrast. The eye sees and you understand. It is the same thing if you listen carefully to music, only the ear helps you detect design and so on. When listening to music try to catch the picture and story, remembering that music is a series of sentences in sound. The harmony and little parts you like so much in a piece of music is a blending of the voices of the characters in the music. When you listen to music like you look at a picture or read a story, it becomes an "Undiscovered Country" filled with delightful surprises. With the radio, you can journey in your easy chair to far-away lands. Your home is turned into a fairy castle, and Love, Youth, Beauty and Romance carry you to the "Valley of Contentment."

ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Alexandria Agency 812 Madison St. Phone, 1398-J A Short Sketch of the Alumni Association of Alexandria In nineteen hundred and seven while attending a Teachers' Institute at the Manassas Industrial School, where industrial training was strictly emphasized, John F. Parker and R. D. Lyles were so thoroughly impressed with its importance that they resolved on leaving the Institute to establish a carpenter shop or industrial department in old Snowden School. The Principal, John F. Parker, immediately conferred with Superintendent Kemper about the matter and readily obtained his consent and at the next meeting of the School Board obtained theirs also. It being too late in the session to start, they decided to make an effort to establish the shop at the beginning of the next session, 1908-1909. The shop was opened December 15, pupils, divided in two classes. The teachers for the shop were advanced pupils of Armstrong Manual Training and M Street High Schools of Washington, D.C., who gave their services free. Two afternoons a week were set aside for this work. Much interest on the part of the pupils was manifested in this work from the beginning and consequently great good was accomplished. Great assistance was rendered us by Dr. W. Bruce Evans, C. H. Madella, assistant superintendent A. C. Bruce, samuel W. Madden and assistant superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, without their assistance the work would have been a failure. Several years after the carpenter shop was established, sewing and cooking were introduced in Hallowell School for the girls. Teachers were gotten in Washington from the same source from which the boys' teachers were procured. Good work was done in Hallowell School until the schools were consolidated in Parker-Gray School. It takes money to run an industrial department and for this reason, the former pupils of Snowden School organized the Snowden School Alumni Association, September 14, 1923. The aim of the Alumni was, "to create a fund to help the industrial department of Snowden School." The following officers were elected on October 19, 1923: L. G. Brooks president; S. W. Madden, vice-president; Fred. H. Rich, recording secretary; R. D. Lyles, financial secretary; Rev. S. B. Ross, chaplain. This alumni raised money for the shop until the fire destroyed Snowden School building. March 30, 1920, the association decided to place in Parker-Gray School much needed equipment. The Hallowell School Alumni was organized May 21, 1920 and did excellent work in raising money to help equip the new school. On November 7, 1922, the two alumni associations were consolidated and also added the Parker-Gray Alumni to be known as Snowden, Hallowell and Parker-Gray Alumni Association of Alexandria, Va. Nearly $14700 has been spent in placing the following equipment in the new school: 362 folding chairs, 11 costumers, 2 book cases, 1 porcelain top table, 7 waste paper baskets, 2 crayon portraits (J. F. Parker and Sarah A. Gray), 20 new maps and features, 4 phonic charts, 1 aluminum tea kettle, 1 electric stove, 12 pointers, 12 teachers' chairs, 14 clocks, 10 teachers' desks, 6 globes, 1 piano, 2 Rolls of Honor, and one half of the total number of window shades in the building.
