Pullman Porters To Hold Mass Meeting Sunday Pullman Porters To Hold Mass Meeting Sunday Local interest in the organization of the Sleeping Car Porters Brotherhood is so manifest that A. L.

Negro Who Ran For President Dies Jacksonvill, Fla., Jan. 7—(By Associated Negro Press)—The passings of Hon. George E. Taylor removes one of the foremost and most patriotic Negroes in the field of journalism. He was the only Negro who has ever run for president of the United States. Mr. Taylor was found dead in his home on Duval Street where he has lived for the past several years following his removal from his farm near Green Cove Springs. The funeral was largely attended by citizens of all walks of life and the passing of the dapper old man was mourned by many. George E. Taylor never compromised the principles he believed in. He was fearless in the face of many odds. And yet, he maintained a chivalrous courtesy at all times to friend and foe alike. His cultured manner, his painstaking and scrupulous care with which he met and greeted everybody endeared him to the common people. Mf. Taylor was born in Iowa, where he received his training as a journalist. Here also he entered politics, gaining much prominence while still a young man in both the State and the National Republican conventions. In 1904 in Virginia he was nominated by the National Liberty Party as its candidate for President. While the campaign did not succeed it received the approbation and consideration of some of the foremost Americans. Since he has been in Florida he was connected with the Negro page of a white publication and later was editor of the Florida Sentinel, being succeeded in 1923 by the present editor, Lemuel D. Bolton. The body was buried at Green Cove Springs. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Marie Taylor, now of Orlando. The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY 10,000 ROLAND W. HAYES SINGS TO LARGE MIXED AUDIENCE Roland Hayes, internationally famed tenor, whose singing before an audience in Atlanta, Ga., in which the audience was separated on account of color, began a nation-wide furor, would make no statement Tuesday night after his recital at the Washington Auditorium regarding his attitude toward appearing in concert in places where his race was segregated or jim-crowed. Mr. Hayes, who was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Milton A. Francis, 2109 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, promised an interview after his concert appearance here. When a Tribune reporter presented himself, Mr. Hayes feigned fatigue. He stated that he was too tired to make any statement; in fact, that he had said all he could in his singing. He referred the reporter to his secretary without results. It was originally planned here to restrict colored people to the balcony. As soon as this plan became known, the colored press, Neval H. Thomas, and the Ministerial Alliance of this city began a crusade against the proposed segregation. Then the concert management sought, a compromise by offering the Atlanta, Ga., plan, which was to divide the house into two parts, one part to be occupied by colored and the other part by white. The same force, which began the fight, expressed their contempt for any such arrangement. When it became apparent from the advance sale of seats that the concert was about to fail, Mrs. Wilse Greene, the promoter, announced that there would be no segregation. In order to assure this, a group of ministers headed by the Rev, W. H. Jernagin, Rev. H. J. Medford, and G. O. Bullock purchased $110 worth of seats scattered over the auditorium. After this purchase, however, the selling of tickets was so adroitly done, that colored people were generally seated in groups and in but few instances were white and colored persons sitting side by side. The whites mainly occupied the center aisles of the orchestra with the colored on the right and left. Hayes in Baltimore Baltimore, Md., Jan. 6—Roland Hayes upon his arrival here today for his concert appearance Thursday night would not make known his attitude on singing before audiences in which his race was segregated. Mrs. Wilson-Greebe, who had charge of his concert arrangements in Washington, is also in charge here, and unless there is an eleventh hour change, those colored persons who attend will be segregated.

In his communication accompanying the report the President state that he was in full accord with the reasons advanced by the Acting Secretary of State why the increase should be allowed and strongly urged upon the Congress the enactment of legislation authorizing it. The report was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations in the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House. The Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, of New Jersey, is the minister resident and consul general to Liberia. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY/ JANUARY 8, 1926 INTERIOR APPROPRIATION BILL CARRIES $218,000 FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY After a holiday recess of thirteen days, the Congress-recovened Monday with little or no prospects for the passage of any legislation specially favoring the Negro. Three such bills were introduced in the fifteen days during which the Congress was in session prior to adjournment for the holidays. They are an anti-lynching bill, a bill to create a Negro industrial commission and a bill for the erection of a monument to Negro soldiers and sailors. The world court in the Senate and farm relief in the House overshadow all other problems for the moment. The question of seating Gerald P. Nye, the validity of whose appointment by the Governor of North Dakota, is in dispute, will cause postponement of debate on the world court. After the Nye case is disposed of, the Senate will devote its time to the world court. The House will begin consideration of the Interior Department appropriations bill this week. This bill carries the appropriation for Howard University. It is expected that the items making appropriations for Howard University will be stricken out in the House on points of order that there is no warrant in law for the appropriation. The Senate, however, as usual, will insert the items and they will be agreed to in conference. An Investigation Demanded In the background is a demand for a congressional investigation of the conduct of Howard University. Representatives of a group of alumni are reported to have seen Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committee, and to have submitted to him the charges against the present Howard University administration. Representative Madden has not committed himself, but is understood to have the matter under consideration. $3,000 Less The Interior Department appropriations bill will probably carry items totaling $218,000 for Howard University. This total is $3,000 less than priced for the current fiscal year. fiscal year. The university is allowed an increase of $3,000 for fuel and light but suffers a decrease of $6,000 for salaries, tools, materials, etc. The bill will carry an item of $125,000 for maintenance. The sum of $150,000 was requested, but the Budget Bureau recommended the same amount as was given for the past two years. For tools, materials and salaries for the manual arts department the (Continued on page 5) PORO EMPLOYEES GIVEN DIAMOND RINGS AS GIFTS PORO EMPLOYEES RECEIVE DIAMOND RINGS FOR FIVE-YEAR SERVICE With two hundred and fifty persons gathered at the 11th annual Poro Christmas dinner at Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. Annie M.

MUTUAL POLICIES Indiasapolis, Ind., Dec. 31—Christmas Eve each and every employee of the great Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. So., from manager to errand boy, was informed that his or her heirs would be richer by at least $500.00 through an insurance policy taken out by the company with the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N.C. These policies range from $500.00 to $5,000.00. The writer recalls the hurry and hub-bub of Walkerites for days before Christmas filing to and fro from the examining physicians' offices. And like consulting the oracle of old, diverse things must have been revealed. A trip to the doctor usually means that. But, from the green faced, handsomely engraved individual policies being rapidly returned from the North Carolina Mutual's Home offices, the Walker force as a whole is a healthy lot. acceptable to insurers very careful of their risks. The policies issued are whole life carrying loan, cash surrender, and paid up insurance features. They were written by Superintendent John L. Lewis of the Raleigh District and are backed by assets of more than two million dollars. Annual premiums on these policies will be paid for by the Madam C. J. Walker Company. Happy smiles light the faces of employees of the Walker Company for their handsome gift from the spirit of Madam Walker and for the outlook for a prosperous 1926. Wife of Late Henry Lincoln Johnson Gets Government Position Mrs. Georgia D. Johnson, wife of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, has been appointed to a position in the Labor Department at a salary of $1,800 a year by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., Perry W. Howard and John T. Risher, associates of Mr. Johnson, were instrumental in bringing about this appointment. They interested Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican-National Committee, in her and through his influence President Coolidge requested the Secretary of Labor to appoint her. Mrs. Johnson will have her headquarters in Baltimore and will make surveys and investigations of immigration and labor matters for the department. She took the oath of office last Saturday.

Ballou has invited the United States Board of Education to make a survey of the normal schools of the District. The following is a copy of a letter upon the subject that he communicated to the Board of Education. The letter went out under date of January 4. Ladies and Gentlemen: Ladies and Gentlemen: "On October 29, 1925, the Superintendant called the attention of the members of the Board of Education to the annual reports of the First Assistant Superintendents, Messrs Kramer and Wilkinson, relating to the Wilson and Miner Normal Schools which they respectively supervise. The greatly increased enrollments in these schools in recent years, the limited capacity of the buildings and instructional facilities, and the inability of the elementary school system wholly to asborb the present graduates of these two professional training schools for teachers make it clearly apparent that the future policy for these schools should be determined at an early date. The first assistant superintendents have submitted to me the following statement, outlining the general problem as they see it, and suggesting questions to which answers are desired. The Problem and Questions The fact that the normal schools are nearing their maximum enrollment and that the graduates annually completing their work at these schools have reached a number more than sufficient to supply the annual need for teachers in the local schools seem to make it appropriate that certain questions be proposed concerning the policy to be adopted in the future. conduct of these schools. 1.

EXPECTED WORD'S FU L INTRODU GYMAN AND VARIAN BURIED HOUSANDS WEEP Funeral services for the Rev. William James Howard was held last Sunday at noon at the Zion Baptist Church, F Street between Third and Four-and-one-half Streets, southwest, which he had pastored from 1886 to the date of his death. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, a life-long friend and the only minister in the city whose pastorate in number of years exceeded that of the Reverend Howard. The Rev. William D. Jarvis, pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church, presided. The Rev. W. L. Washington, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, offered prayer. A solo, "Come Unto Me," was sung by Madam Fairfax. The Scripture lesson was read by the Rev. J. I. Loving, pastor of St. John Baptist Church. The Rev. William D. Jarvis read a statement from the family telling particularly of the homelife of Reverend Howard. Resolutions from Zion Baptist Church were read by William Opey, the church clerk. There were numerous other resolutions, but time would not permit their reading. A solo, "His Mighty Hand," was rendered by G. W. Peterson. Then, the Reverend Brooks, showing how deeply he was touched by the loss of a friend with whom he had long be associated in the ministry, began t... funeral sermon. It was a matchless eulogy that he delivered. A solo, "Crossing, One by One," was sung by Stanley Brooks. A tribute from the Baptist Ministers Conference was delivered.

ZIHLMAN SPONSORS SEP- ARATE POOLS A "jim crow" bathing pool is proposed in a bill introduced in the House Monday by Representative Frederick Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, chairman of the District of Columbia committee of the House. The bill provides for the construction of two bathing pools, one for the white and the other for the colored population of the District of Columbia. The location of the pools is not specified, but it is planned to place them as nearly as possible in the center of the population each is to serve. The bill authorizes the Director of Public Buildings and Parks to construct two bathing pools with suitable buildings, shower baths and lockers, and to make provision for the use of filtered water in the pools. It provides that the Commission of Fine Arts shall be consulted as to the location of the pools, and the plans would be subject to the approval of the National Capital Park Commission. The total cost of these separated beaches would not exceed $345,000. It is provided that no part of the money appropriated shall be expended in the purchase of land. The pools would be located upon lands already acquired or which may hereafter be acquired for park, parkway or playground pur- One of the pools will be 400 feet long and 200 feet wide, to accommodate 2,000 bathers at one time, or a maximum of 10,000 bathers a day. This pool would be exclusively for the use of white persons. The other pool will be 260 feet long and 190 feet wide, to accommodate 1,000 bathers at a time, on a maximum of 5,000 bathers a day. Colored persons would be restricted to the use of this pool. Although during this session he has only been introducing bills at the request of the commissioners of the District of Columbia or the public buildings and parks office, Representative Zihman is sponsoring this measure on his own volition. He points to the high-death rate from drowning last summer as proof that bathing beaches are needed here. The population of Washington has been without public bathing facilities since the passage of the second deficiency act in February, 1925. This act provided for the dismantling of a beach on the east side of the Tidal Basin in Potomac Park. An item for the maintenance of this bathing beach was stricken from the District appropriations, bill previously and the unexpended balance of an appropriation of $75,000 for the construction of a "jim crow" beach on the west side of the Tidal Basin was returned to the poses.

Answers toQueries By Vee Tee Tee Should a woman indulge a husband in idleness just to preserve harmony? Should she make herself responsible for certain household expenses or live with Wa people or live in a xoom? Dear Vee Tee Tee: I haven't beer married long but my husband in the short time of our marriage adventure has been rather disagreeable at times because I refuse to live with his people falthough I tried it out once and found it very distasteful. We tried a small apartment but he threw so much of the ‘responsibility on me until I felt I was ‘being greatly imposed upon so now we have tried rooming again. What should I have done or what would you advise me to do? My dear girl: Your case is one of the ‘many. A happy courtship—no doubt—glaring promises, a successful future painted with a comfortable home and everything to attract; an answer of ‘yes”; a ceremony pro- nouncing the fatal decree joining each other as one; a happy honeymoon— Bang!!! All is over. Well, dear girl, first of all, have courage, you may yet achieve your aim. No I don’t blame you in the least for wanting a home of your own and not living with your _ husbands people—especially if you have once tried out the experiment and failed. Your husband is surely not ambitious himself if he continually tries to per- suade you to-do this. As long as a couple lives with parents on either side they will never accumulate any- thing for themselves and every self- respecting man and woman when marrying should want a home and the accompanying comforts, It is indeed a pity that your hus- band did not appreciate your help in eyes some of the responsibility in the apartment instead of being a drawback by being disagreeable and idle. I think it a very commendable thing for a wife to help, but the man who allows the woman to shoulder the greatest responsibility without encouragement or help is a brute. He is hardly worthy of your consideration or love. He no doubt wants you to go [back and live with his people to cut expenses and still lessen his responsi- bility. Again he is shirking. ‘Try to awaken in him a desire to have a home. Now that you have jgone back to rooming, encourage him to save and you save. Try a little more patience by being unusually Sweet and sympathetic, “You evident ly love him by still living with hin under such shiftless circumstances, s\ make another attempt to bring hin to his sense and make him realize you fare willng to help and prepare a hom for the future, but you wil not sway places with him. If, after you have done all in you powet to make a happy home anc you are thwarted at every tum, | ecan’t see any objection to a commor understanding, a perfectly frank dis eussion and a parting of ways. Fo after a woman has tried as hard a she can to please and still meets wit constant discord, I don’t think he life should be ruined, for surely ther is someone who can make life a “thin Jof beauty and joy forever.” Ther fare those who will disagree with thi }theory, but those people have neve perhaps known misery of this kim jand if so they are simply living live jof shame. ?

For as far as the coat is concerned, at least, molded lines are decidedly ‘stressed. " Sports coats usu- ally sponsor the straight line; of leourse, but formal and semi-formal ‘street ‘wraps show a waist line which tends to be modeled to the figure.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor of The Children's Page BE PROUD OF YOUR R THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION By Thelma E. Lane. (Age 14) (Prize Winner of Essay Contest Conducted by the Emancipation Committee of Washington, D.C., January 1st, 1926.) One of the most wonderful sets of laws governing a nation is the Constitution of the United States of America. This document saved a nation in a perilous period. A race in bondage was not benefited by this Constitution and thereby suffered for seventy-five years after the ratification of the Constitution by the several states. Abraham Lincoln thought that slavery was a great moral, social, and political evil, and never hesitated to say so. All during the Civil War which was caused by slavery, union was Lincoln's highest ideal. Lincoln's most fitting words at the moment were, "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some, and leaving others alone, I would do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union: and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union." Lincoln published the warning announcement: September 22, 1862 and on New Year's Day, 1863, issued the famous Emancipation Proclamation. This proclamation designated the states and parts of states in which rebellion against the authority and government of the United States then existed, and declaring by virtue of the power vested in him as the Chief Executive, that "All persons held as slaves within said designated states and parts of states are and hence forth shall be free." This immortal proclamation is one of the milestones of universal history. It declared the liberation of three and a half million slaves. It changed the standing of Negroes from that of persons who could be bought and sold to that of men and women endowed with a Constitutional right. From then Negroes had a privilege to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." They could work freely, like other human beings, for those whom they chose under conditions to which they agreed. This proclamation written and issued by man was the work of God. For many dark years, slaves prayed and signed for freedom. Their earnest prayers reached heaven; God received them and in due time answered. The Lord moved in mysterious ways great miracles to perform. The Emancipation Proclamation, of which every Negro is proud, was issued by Abraham Lincoln, "a man of the ages." May we as the Colored race, forever hold his name above all other white men's, and keep his proclamation sacred through generations to come. THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION By Laurence D. Howard(16) Never have words been so sweet As those which were unfurled, That made the hearts of black foll beat And resound through the world. "Men are equal," great men say, And that should always be. For great words fell on that day, "Henceforward shall be free." Heretofore the white man trod, And his tread was great; But Lincoln called by God Soon changed the Negroes' fate. Lincoln says that his ambition Was to help the slave; was to help the slave; For that he'll go down in tradition As honest, true, and brave. Let us then pay Lincoln homage Throughout all the nation. He who brought our race from bond age By that great proclamation.

Brown (13) Emancipation means enfranchisement—that is, the act of setting free. Proclamation means an official announcement to the public; therefore, the Emancipation Proclamation is the official setting free, or enfranchisement. The Proclamation which we are to celebrate today, the 1st of January, was written in 1863, and set free the black people of the United States who were held in slavery for more than two hundred years. When it was issued many of the slaves preferred to stay with their masters, who in some cases were kind, and who needed them to protect their homes while they went to war. The poor people, if they were made free would have no homes of their own, no money and most of them would have been compelled to go to war. Why not stay with their masters, even though many of them were cruel? They left, however, and built log cabins for themselves and their families, began to farm and do the best they could. Think where our race has risen from there. Most of us have comfortable homes and necessities, in many instances, luxuries, churches, colleges, apartment houses, in fact, many have servants instead of being servants. If Lincoln, the great Emancipator, had never felt as he did about the slaves, if he had never had the heart to say "The right to put in his mouth the bread his own hands have earned (meaning the slave) is the equal of any other man, black or white";—instead of schoolhouses which enable us to equal any other race in learning, we would be on plantations; instead of owning our homes, our parents would be living in huts, earning money for their masters; instead of our churches we would be worshipping in the open woods, afraid to even sing aloud for fear we might disturb the other people. Then let us be thankful as we enjoy these blessings, for next to the church comes the home, which we could never have and enjoy as w do today had this day not been placed in history many years ago by the wonderful Lincoln when he set free our forefathers by signing the Emancipation Proclamation. THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Abraham Lincoln, January 1st, 1863. Neither the North nor the South was willing to relent after the Civil War had been raging for more than eighteen months. Both sides had suffered heavy losses and many reverses. The South tenaciously to its slaves and many slaves were used to aid in the fighting without being enlisted as regular soldiers. In April 1862 Congress passed an act abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia and appropriated $300 for each slave liberated. This scheme was enacted with the idea of inducing the bordering states to liberate their slaves and in this way bring about freedom for all the slaves. This idea was not carried out favorably. Pressure was brought upon President Lincoln to free all the slaves in the South. In July 1862 at a meeting of the President's Cabinet he read a paper announcing his intention of declaring free, on the first day of January, the slaves of all people in the states then in opposition to the authority of the United States. The Cabinet approved the paper but suggested that it not be published at that time. The suggestion was accepted by the President and the notice was not published until September 1862. On New Year's Day, 1863, President Lincoln issued the famous Proclamation that liberated all the slaves in the opposing states and territories. The Proclamation is one of the high marks of universal history. It liberated three and one-half million slaves and changed the standing and rights of about one-eighth of the population of this country. The Negro population of the United States revere the name and memory of the immortal Lincoln as the principal human agency for establishing or paving the way for establishing freedom, right to live and to act, for the Negroes of the United States for all times.

Several of the essays entered in this contest appear on this page. HELPED SLAVES ESCAPE Several months ago we published on this page excerpts from an article "Last of the John Brown Free Staters," the article dealt with some personal recollections of John E. Rastall, who was one of the Free Staters. We reprint the following from the Waupaca (Wis.) News, this, too, pertains to Mr. Rastall, one of those white men who risked life in the cause of freedom for the slave. "The daughter of a runaway woman living in Cleveland, Ohio, has written to John E. Rastall, a member of the Wisconsin Veterans Home, that her mother was eighteen years old when she escaped from slavery by the help of the Underground Railroad, and thanking him for his activities along that line in Kansas in the Old John Brown days. Comrade Rastall helped slaves escape and was arrested by the United States troops for that and other offenses committed in the effort to make and keep Kansas a free state. He made his escape however "Some of Rastall's adventures are told in a story now going through the newspapers which he says this writer must have read. At the time of his capture and escape, aiding or assisting the escape of a slave was punishable with death, or imprisonment for not less than ten years, under a law passed by the bogus legislature. "Mr. Rastall enlisted in Co. B, 5th Wisconsin Volunteers, April 21, 1861, and served altogether three years and six months during the Civil War. He says he is more pleased to have received this 'colored woman's communication than to have received a Congressional Medal of Honor. "The Secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, Wm. E. Connolly, believes Mr. Rastall is the last survivor of the militant abolitionists operating from Topeka, Kansas. His formal discharge from the Free State Army dated September 29, 1856, hangs upon the walls of the Society. Kansas has no record of the preterritorial military organizations." In the summer of Eighteen Sixty-two, when the Civil War was on to preserve the peace and union of the states and to abolish slavery, it was evident to President Lincoln that something must be done to strengthen the faith of the North and to deal a hard blow at the South, so he decided that slavery should not go on. A great source of southern power then was due to the fact that the slave tilled the soil, supplied the armies and took care of the homesteads while the men were at war. So to strike at slavery would have meant a hard blow. So President Lincoln then decided on the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation, the greatest document ever penned by any President of the United States, was issued by President Abraham Lincoln, September 22, 1862. Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. President Lincoln as the commander-in-chief of the United States army and navy, proclaimed that on the first day of January (1863), all slaves in any state or designated part of a state should be thenceforth and forever free. He also ordered that one hundred (100) days after the above date, the slaves in the following states would be free: Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana (except the parishes of Saint Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, Saint John, Saint Charles, Saint James, Ascension, Assumption, Terre Bonne, Lafourche, Saint Mary, Saint Martin and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans), Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, South and North Carolinas, and Virginia (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia and also the counties of Berkly, Acomac, Northhampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, in Portsmouth). He made it clear that the executive government of the United States, including the cities of Norfolk and cities would recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and would do no acts to repress them in any effort they should make to gain their actual freedom. He recommended faithfully laboring for wages, to them as an ideal of good American citizenship. He further declared and made known that all said persons (slaves) would be received into the armed service of the United States, to garrisons, forts, positions, stations, and other places, to man vessels of any and all sorts in that service. By this great act of Abraham Lincoln hoped to invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. To my mind, the greatest act, the greatest thing of President Lincoln was the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation. What we are, and that our race is free, is all due to that great sixteenth president of the United States. He was a common man and so he loved and respected the rights of the common people. By this great act Abraham Lincoln, for long will American Negroes cherish thy name." "When does the five-thirty train leave?" shouted a belated passenger, bursting in at the station door. "Five-thirty," replied a porter. "Well, the post office clock is twenty-eight minutes past five and the town hall clock is thirty-two minutes past. Which am I to go by?" "Ye can go by any clock ye want, but ye can't go by the train, because it's gone." "You should never point, Johnnie," said Mrs. Brown, as they left the shop. "It is very rude." "But what are you to do, ma, when you don't know the name of the thing?" "Why," she returned, "let the assistant show you everything in the shop until he comes to the right one." TRIBUNITES!

For 35 years teacher, principal and supervisor in the Public Schools of the District of Columbia PAGE TWELVE What's the Ma Public Scho A Series of Articles by For 35 years teacher, principal and of the Distric (Continued from last issue) Appendix "THERE IS CONFUSION"* In spite of increasing tension within and without the local public school system, constructive criticism thereof, albeit adverse, seems to be more and more rare in local newspapers, of the larger type. There may, moreover, be noted a studious avoidance here of questions, that treat of certain aspects of well-nigh universal racial confusion, that will hereinafter be pointed out. As if by tacit agreement, the local press, of the kind described, is becoming very conservative in these respects. This medium of news and of editorial thought seems to consider the journalistic function met, when editorials, adversely criticizing educational procedures, if at all, are made rather general; or, that its present-day objective should be but to furnish the public palate with a journal-record of the school board's meetings and plans, in the form of pupil, predigested or otherwise "inspired" at the Franklin School headquarters. Apparently proceeding upon the supposition that publications, referring to delicate racial "situations" abroad will appear elsewhere, equally expurgated are its sheets of such matter. Under guise of TEAM-PLAY, the local press, as above described, seems to have been lulled into withholding strictures, truthful and helpful in a monitorial way at least, while the public school system is, supposedly, in-the-making. Falling for this kind of sophistry, it affords an exigency of which the "masterhand" seizes quick and certain advantage. Uncanny on occasion, now moving on the public school chessboard with characteristic astuteness, its combinations have so confused the collective mind of the board of education, as to have reduced the latter to a mere assisting force, more and more uncertain as to the fine points of the king of games. List. Shades of Peyser and Houston, "There is confusion; it was not ever thus!" Was the announcement from one of these star-performers, that he would absent himself from meetings should the redoubtable Fries, with his literary chemicals, appear, and spray some badly needed advice upon the confused, really due to the disinclination expressed, or to the greater importance of preparing for his daughter's debut? It must be remembered that "hearings," of however serious educational import, were not nominated in the bond in camera, and must not, therefore, interfere with social or business affairs. With subjects so easy, with experience so wealthy, with conditions otherwise so ripe, why not apply one's knowledge of psychology, in all of its ramifications? The group psychology secured, why worry? What's the mere fact of being a lawyer and, ipso facto, an officer of the court, with consequent serious increase of responsibilities in all connections got to do with it? Amateur psychologist, but with purpose in our heart to accurately distinguish and appraise, we are seriously thinking of calling in Miss LaSalle and Mr. Long to relieve our poor mind of this growing perplexity, lest the Gasque Bill, enacted into LAW, accomplishes it better. (We did hear that Congress, growing more and more disgusted with boards of education here, had contemplated their entire abolition in a new law, investing their function in the Superintendent and his Assistant Superintendents. Then would all be peace and plenty!) But we are not going to trust ourselves to stop too long there. Our concern then is: How can public functionaries, apparently the "salt of the earth" individually, become so suddenly transformed into so miserable a "bunch" collectively; except as indicative of collective inferiority, or individual superiority of the "master"; or, much longer continued, too high an estimate of the group in the first instance? If then the report of the experts exposes the sad and solemn fact that this helplessness, becoming more and more observable to others, is due to fear of being detected and charged with Insubordination, or rather Inefficiency, let me hereby and herewith advise, out of keenest sympathy, that it is exceedingly well-grounded, for in one "court," so a certain friend tells me, who attended recently and became tremendously interested in its sittings, though you are indicted under one charge, you cannot predict under what other your certain conviction will finally rest. Although appearing in the issue of November 19, 1924, in view of recurrent publications since, deploring the trend of the times, in certain respects, it would seem that Beatrice M. Hinkle's contribution thereto, "Women and the New Morality," one of a series of articles, under the general heading, NEW MORALS FOR OLD, in The Nation, of last year, showed her mind *With apologies to Jessie Redmon Fauset, Literary Critic, "The Crisis." had projected forward some distance apparently, not, however, as a prophet of evil, but as a decidedly frank exponent of truth, as she sees it, and a constructive critic of portends, fortunately alarming to others. Several excerpts from this article will make the matter more explicit, and enable us to get at once in medias res: “... The effect of collective ideas and cultural traditions upon the personality is immeasurable. The greatest general change that is taking place today is the weakening of these ideas and the refusal of women to be bound by them. Women are for the first time demanding to live the forbidden experiences directly and draw conclusions on this basis. I do not mean to imply that traditional moral standards controlling woman's sexual conduct have never been transgressed, but secretly and without inner justification. . . . The condition now is one in which natural, long-restrained desire is being substituted for collective moral rules, and individuals are largely becoming a law unto themselves. . . A morality which has value for all time and is not dependent upon custom or external cultural fashions can arise only from a high development of the psychological functions of thinking and feeling, with the developed individual as the determiner of values instead of general custom or someone else's opinions. . . .” Whenever matters of this sort, seriously affecting the growth of the race for weal or woe, and therefore, to a certain extent, the state of public affairs, reach the point of receiving prolonged attention, certain dominant influences persist and may or may not attempt to merge into constructive service. Invariably ramifying through the home and church at first, the public school, sooner or later, is inclined towards as an approach, through pamphlets, textbooks or lectures on public school platforms, in one way or another, as memory serves, the power and presence of the public in action are felt, if stirred deeply. Local teachers are not an insular group. Advised as to the introduction of newer educational procedures elsewhere, and of the rejection or marked modification of certain ones after trial-and-error method, they are askance at well-defined rumors of their proposed institution here, as if local authorities had learned nothing from "the accumulated and accumulating intellectual and esthetic treasures of the race." Moreover, putting the matter somewhat repetitiously, the possible invasion of the local school system with strange doctrine, as to the study of sex-hygiene and kindred subjects, more or less taboo in other school systems, and the substitution or promotion of teachers, young in years but reported promising, for those of assured present-day value, "seasoned," able, consecrated, whose personal and public life may well be emulated, are spreading increasing concern throughout the public school system here. In fact, appointments, or promotions to important teacherships or official positions in the public school system during the last few years here, have been so distinctly irreconcilable with the official emphasis placed upon professional equipment and growth, as to have made pronouncement of this sort glaringly insincere. If you doubt this statement, make a tabulation of your own in this regard. To keen and careful students of education, however, there are some aspects of public school systems, that should awaken interesting consideration, to put it mildly. Inadequate facilities for teaching and an overcrowded curriculum, though long trite as criticisms, are applicable even now. But a widening puncture in the educational tire, which interferes with the smooth running of the wheels of the graded and secondary parts of the public school system, is found in un sound and disturbing objectives: development of versatility and resourcefulness, rather than knowledge with such understanding as to awaken confidence and provoke skill; and, allowing children to be benevolently assimilated into the secondary school, rudderless, shiftless, or, more lamentably, congenitally unfit. Out of many years' experience in public school systems, as teacher, principal and officer in graded schools, I know of no two flaws more serious, if not alarming. In spite of the fact that a consensus has well-nigh formed into unanimity of opinion, not only as to serious lack of training of the more important mental powers, but of grade-fact information, no definite improvement is yet observable by principal or first-year teacher of the high school, so far as entrants thereto are concerned. But a casual glance of the eye of the experienced teacher enables him to bemoan lack of training in the study-habit. As was said on another occasion, they make no effort to "dig in," simply because they have not been trained to do so. It may be that this sort of education, or miseducation, as you please—touching many branches of study, here but a little, there but a little, nowhere too much—is the education for the present-day civilization, to which your child and mine must subscribe. For the sake of argument, admit that he has completed the grade school satisfactorily in spite of the conditions cited, what then? With no well-thought-out plan in his behalf, in these days of highly-concentrated interest in an expanding public-school-building plant, projected by school au- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 8. 1926 thorities previously for the discovery of either special or general aptitudes, what is left to grade-school graduates but to drift aimlessly into that course or department, that merely tickles the fancy? How much better to have established a DIFFERENTIAL-PROMOTION-SCALE so early as the sixth grade, and with such basic data for differentiation, continue the aforesaid schematic arrangement thereafter, to the end that, apprised intelligibly, even his childish mind may be so fully convinced of the urgent need of observing their predictable value, that he will from that time be guided right in the selection of both course and department. Washington lags. But don't take my word in such important matters. Note what Abraham Flexner says in School and Society, December 12, "Purpose in the American College," and let an informed intelligence determine whether it also represents a grave condition in or merely a theory as to lack in graded as well as high school and college objective. In foreign countries the secondary schools (paraphrasing) are charged with the responsibility of selecting, equipping and training capable minds, utilizing in the process the accumulated and accumulating intellectual and esthetic treasures of the race. . . All this is very different in America. For practical purposes schools and colleges are wide open. Family pride, public sentiment and social organization do not on the whole compel intellectual exertion or attainment . . . the people who really have the "say" attach the higher values to other things than culture and training. . . Intellectual distinction is but slightly valued. . . Nor has college as yet any reliable way of indicating to the public which of its graduates possess little of either. [Is the graded school yet possessed of such means?] . . . Democracy is most truly served when all artificial barriers and advantages are eliminated—wealth as well as poverty, race, color, every imaginable biological accident and social prejudice—and if an aristocracy of genuine talent and training thus recruited is not only developed, but suffered to lead. The colleges will be thoroughly democratic, and democracy will promote good works, to the extent that they are dominated by ability and seriousness. . . If we do make a contribution to civilization that is commensurate with our social opportunities and our economic resources, it will come about in large measure because those charged with the conduct of higher education have the courage and intelligence to frame an exacting program and to put it through. When men of this sort multiply, there will be no longer place among school executives and school administrators for the politician or neardiplomat. Children should be guided; not parents cajoled. As to whether the congenitally unfit are to continue entering high school; or others deserving promotion shall be huddled higglety-pigglety into any old department thereof, is a matter for the school head to take appropriate action upon, and nobody else. And that's! A pessimism, governed by wisdom and timeliness, may serve a very good purpose, provided it is not accompanied with abuse, exaggeration, unsupported assertion, or exposition of bad taste otherwise. The home, the school and the church, being of human construction, will never be able to register perfection. It becomes the plain duty, of those who have the eye to see and the hand to record to point the way, or to support others so doing, as clearly and as definitely as possible, toward progress. This may be accomplished without doing violence to the amenities It would seem that for a long time in the past, and, as long as human "blood" remains the same, LIFE itself, without as well as within institutions, is not above reproach. Grace Abbott, of the Children's Bureau, asserts that juvenile delinquency is universal; college heads deploy youths' excesses, or grant them more, or advise how to "perform" scientifically and without injury, supposedly; Freud and his disciples declare even maturity, rail and quote predictable data, in kind, respecting infants; and now comes Miss Hinkle, with "a cloud of witnesses around," and states that women have not only been "finding out" by personal experiences and participation long since privately, but now propose to find out publicly. We confess to a decided awakening of interest. It may be due to local pride. First, how large a local following has the Hinkle Group; second, if the sex is to begin this "experience and participation" and feels that it has graduated from private into public right in this regard, at what point shall it start, girlhood or womanhood, and, if at the latter point, under which one of the subjects about to be introduced into the public school system and at whose hands are they to acquire this instruction? If expected, however, to spring full-armed into new-found liberty or license, as you please, (we know what we would call it), which has fortified them more, heredity or environment? And how much ad hoc training required of the instructor? We don't want to let go of this, until we remind you of the fact that amazement has already been expressed that apparently estimable people can lapse into the effrontery of coming to Washington from New York City to advocate the teaching of sex-purification and sex-hygiene, in view of the condition of affairs on their native heath. (To be continued) Etiquette "The horse and the cow is in the field," read the teacher. "Mary, what's wrong with that sentence?" Mary was evidently more versed in the rules of politeness than in the rules of grammar, for she answered, promptly: "The lady should be mentioned first." Hey Men!

The Social Service Committee had for its Xmas project the establishment of a post office for the purpose of raising money for its social work. The boys in their carpentry work donated their services in making the booth. The seal for the Xmas stamp was designed by Carl Buckner of the junior class. Those in charge of the work were as follows: Layard Hughes, postmaster general; Rudell Cordon, assistant postmaster general; and Pansy Major, supervisor. The post office sold cards and stamps and delivered cards, stamps, and small packages to the students of the school. The children of the Practice Schools enjoyed this same privilege. The Social Service Club, sponsored by Mrs. G. Woodward, had as its second project the supplying of Xmas packages to the children of the Eighth Street Home and to a needy family. The packages for the children contained clothing of all kinds, toys, candies, fruits, etc., while those to the needy family contained clothing, all kinds of foodstuffs and money. The Christmas Bazaar planned by the home economics department a few weeks ago, headed by Section F, succeeded in creating a true Christmas spirit of cooperation. Various articles were made, donated, and sold by the students to the faculty and student body. The Bazaar lasting from Friday until Tuesday, brought a return of seventy-five dollars which was turned over to the Miner Normal Fund. Miss Marie James, music teacher, initiated a new feature in the singing of Christmas Carols by the various sections, at stated intervals throughout the school during the three days preceding the Christmas holidays. On Wednesday afternoon, the whole school gave a Christmas sing in the assembly hall, after which Santa Claus distributed boxes of candy to all the children in the practice schools. The members of the faculty, office and janitorial forces, to wish their principal a "Merry Christmas," presented him with $35 in gold and a chest of candy. Mr. J. F. Gregory presented the tokens and expressed, in behalf of the teachers, the deep appreciation for the continuity of constructive effort and help, and personal sympathy under all conditions on the part of Mr. Eugene A.

"TEN COMMANDMENTS" TO EEA "TURE RELIGIOUS WEEK AT METROPOLITAN A. M. E. CHURCH—JAN. 25-29 The "Ten Commandments," Cecil B. DeMille's famous masterpiece and the most talked of motion picture ever made will be the feature attraction together with a chorus of 150 voices at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, during religious week, January 25 to 29. Powerful in its simplicity, noble in its concept and terrific in its appeal, the influence of the "Ten Commandments" when presented to the accompaniment of the new Metropolitan pipe organ in the glorified atmosphere of the church will exert a tremendous effect upon the community as well as furnish the most complete entertainment ever designed for our people. The services of Mr. Chas, E. Lane, Jr., who is known to Washingtonians for his artistic presentations have been secured to insure perfection in every detail of the rendition of this stupendous program. Rev. Winston B. Hill of Northeastern Baptist Church, 3rd Street between D and E Streets, Northeast, who for a number of years has exhibited religious pictures in and about Washington, conceived the idea of giving this treat to our public and through the influence of some of his friends, the picture was secured for church use during the first six months of its release. The splendid cooperation of Rev Chas, E. Stewart, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M Street near 15th Street, Northwest, who is conducting a "Religious Week and Survey" during the last two weeks of January, permits the use of the tremendous auditorium of his church, thereby guaranteeing the comfort of a large number of people who were terribly jostled while attempting to see this great production when it was originally shown here.

NURSES GIVE DANCE The undergraduate nurses of the Freedmen's Hospital Training School gave a dance at the Nurse's home. Monday evening, January 4, from 8 to 1. There was a large number of nurses, internes and medical students present. THE HOSPITAL AN IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL FACTOR EDUCATIONAL FACTOR An internship in a general hospital has now come to be recognized, not only as a rounding-out process for the training of the general practitioner, but also as the basis for graduate medical work leading to a higher degree of knowledge and skill in the various specialties. In other words, an internship in a general hospital now occupies an important one, separating undergraduate from graduate medical education. Our hospitals are increasing in number, so also are they developing as an important factor in medical and public health education. There are 80 medical schools in this country in 1925 with 18,200 students and 3,974 graduates.

He was president of his class from 1922 to 1924, and was to have been the president during his senior year. However, he was forced to return to his home at the completion of his junior year in 1924 on account of illness where he remained under the care of his father, Dr. Perry D.

Haven Sweet are visiting large cities in company with Arthur Garfield Hayes, associate attorney in the Sweet murder case, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There is but one justification of this and that is to make it a sweet case—collect funds; for what? That is the question. The appeal for money under the representation the issue of residential segregation in America. It is a fight, he avers, "to preserve the fundamental spirit of the Constitution." Though we might admit that the case "hinges" on the issue of residential segregation, the fact is that Dr. Sweet and his associates are being tried for "murder." As The Tribune has repeatedly affirmed, the question in this particular case is not, Has a Negro a right to live in a so-called restricted white neighborhood? but, Has a man—color not considered—a right to protect his home? The appeal for money under the presentation that the winning of the Sweet case will be a blow to segregation should be stopped. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People should recall the story of the little boy who blew his horn and "fooled" the woodmen. Such action will lead to a "street of intolerance," a street of distrust, and a "main street" of defeat. WILLIAM JAMES HOWARD The Reverend William James Howard, for nearly forty years, pastor of Zion Baptist Church died December 30th, 1925, of pneumonia. So impressive was his funeral on the Sunday following that even the highest in the land could have been envious. For no greater loved local figure than the Reverend Howard has, in recent years, passed into the Great Beyond. Men, women, and children, faces flushed with real sorrow and eyes flooded with tears, kept vigilance, with bowed heads and heavy hearts, from early Saturday evening until late Sunday afternoon to pay their last respects to, and to pray God's blessings upon, their deceased brother and mediator. As the casket was carried from its resting place in the church, through a grief-ridden throng of humanity, to the hearse, sorrow was so much in evidence that even a stranger could not escape its influence. There passed a dear, beloved brother. He left no millions to art, nor to science, nor to literature; but, to those who knew him, he left a touch of that sentiment of compassion for the poor, the lowly, the common people, that made him the living symbol of the very essence of Christianity. For he had sacrificed. He had suffered hardships and privation. He had succeeded, not in the accumulation of millions, but in binding the hearts of his fellowmen and discharging his obligation to humanity. As a minister of the doctrine, "love to God and to one another," he always administered unto the sick and afflicted, helped the poor and needy, and assisted those in distress, irrespective of denomination, caste, or class. He earned his bread by the sweat of his brow, knowing at first hand the sorrows of labor and acquainted with its grief. During the years of his pastorate, his fellowmen could not detect any other trait in him save that of a Christian worker. For he so lived and labored that his proletarian accent could not have been an affectation. With apology to Macaulay we say: "To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better"— [If in men's hearts he lives?] SEPARATE BATHING PLACES—AGAIN Again the matter of separate bathing beaches or pools is to the fore. Congressman Zihilman, the chairman of the House District Committee, has introduced a bill to construct two pools one for white and one for colored—"as nearly as possible in the center of the population each is to serve." This is a little vague as to the proposed or possible locations, but is clear enough as to the essential point—separation. It remains to be seen whether or not the colored people—pulpit and press—will be driven or cajoled into acquiescing in this segregation. Now let us bear in mind that the issue is clear—but separation; and no amount of specious argument as to "equality of accommodations," or any "just-as-good" sophistry will meet the situation. Nor need anyone who is truly in earnest be silenced by the threadbare citation of separate schools and churches, which were forced upon us in our earlier, more helpless days, and which we have not been able in some sections, including this District, to throw off. We have "accepted" these separations in the same sense that a person accepts a surgical operation, or that one's deg accepts his "house" in the back yard. We regard schools and churches as essential to our very existence in a civilized land, but bathing pools are in a different category. We are under no compelling necessity to accept puddings rolled to us in the dust. A LESSON FOR THE FUTURE The outcome of the fight to defeat the proposed segregated seating at the Roland Hayes concert may be regarded, from the standpoint of principle, as completely successful. The management announced late last week that there would be no discrimination in the selling of seats. The final result was that the down stairs audience was apparently about fifty per cent colored and the gallery audience about thirty per cent; with colored people seated here and there all over both floors. The fact that the management after yielding on the principle, nevertheless attempted to sell colored people seats in bunches, detracts little if any from the importance of the victory. The successful outcome was due to several reasons; perhaps the chief reason was the united and vigorous lead of the pulpit and the press not emitting to notice the splendid militant work of Mr. Neval H. Thomas. Never before has there been such unannuity, and such clear-cut determination, shown by the race in this city. While the press is to be given credit for raising the alarm, the pulpit is deserving of no less commendation for taking up the fight and carrying it through to a successful conclusion. The Ministerial Alliance took a decisive stand and appointed a committee to carry on the struggle in co-operation with the press and all other bodies interested. The final result will no doubt have a far-reaching moral effect, and is a demonstration of what may be accomplished by these two great forces—the pulpit and the press—when working in unison, backed by a determined people. We cannot leave the matter, however, without calling attention to the fact that Hayes himself, so far as is known to the Tribune, gave no aid or comfort to those who were fighting the battle of the race—his race; and that, too, despite the fact that only last year he accepted the Spingarn Medal, bestowed on the grounds of the highest achievement by and for the race. He cannot claim lack of knowledge that the fight was being waged; for as stated in our news columns last week. The Tribune notified him of the situation here a week in advance of the concert. This telegram has not been answered. THE TRIBUNE PLACED ON RACE PRESS ROLL OF HONOR The current issue of The Messenger magazine, devotes a large portion of its space to the matter of the new Pullman Porters Brotherhood. Those who are hoping to see the Negro workers organized on the same basis as practically all of the white workers are organized for their mutual benefit and protection, will welcome the news that the organization of the porters is going forward favorably under the leadership of A. Philip Randolph, one of the editors of The Messenger. Mr. Randolph is very frank and generous in his acknowledgement of the vital assistance of the race press, albeit there are—as was to be expected—a few papers which are too dull-witted to grasp the realities of the situation; or prefer the good will—or the money—of the big interests to the less profitable friendship and confidence of the race which they are supposed to represent and to defend. Among the papers especially commended by Mr. Randolph is our own paper, The Tribune. It is gratifying to see ourselves in such good company as the papers he names—a veritable Roll of Honor. The list as given in The Messenger is as follows: "the Pittsburgh Courier, the Washington Tribune, the New York Age, the Amsterdam News, the Looking Glass (New York), the Pittsburgh American, the Washington Daily American, the Philadelphia Tribune, the Chronicle and the Guardian (Boston), the Wichita Protest, the Black Dispatch (Oklahoma), the Dallas Express and many others." This is another bit of evidence that the race press is appreciating and utilizing its duties and its opportunities, as well. "RACIAL DECENCY" Under the above heading the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette a (white daily) says: "Four centuries ago the white man was confined to Europe. Now he occupies also North and South America and dominates most of Africa, much of Asia and nearly all the islands of the sea. Will he sweep over all the earth or will the other races roll him back?" "There is danger of the latter fate, says Dr. William E. Barton of Boston, because of the resentment that is rising against the Caucasian race for its treatment of other races, and because of its own tendency to self-destruction. He says: "If the white nations of the earth have a spoonful of brains they will quit killing themselves and stop arming against the other races. They will forget to brag and bluster and will cultivate an international mind. All over the world the man of color, black, brown and yellow, is protesting against the injustices and indignities leaped upon him by the white man. The colored races are simply asking that the standard for a man be set upon his spirit and intelligence, and not upon the color of his skin." Commenting on the statement of Dr. Barton, the editor of the Gazette says: "That is hard for the whites to learn. But it is probably true that they have got to learn it, if they want to dodge a tremendous lot of trouble. Or if they merely want to be decent to fellow-mortals." Now all of these are brave, frank—and sensible—words; particularly commendable are those of the editor of the Gazette, a paper published south of the Potomae. Mr. Coolidge's Chicago address to the Farm Federation met with a more hostile reception than is usually accorded a President's speech, Ex-Secretary Wallace, in Wallace's Weekly, avers bluntly that it "will probably go down in history as a great mistake." Mr. Coolidge, apparently, does not understand the farmer's worry, nor was he able to convince his auditors. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1926 Now we are the crazier group, according to Dr. Horatio M. Pollock, director of the Statistical Bureau of the New York State Hospital Commission. Guess he is right. But I'll bet him one perfectly filled prescription that if his father had been as much overworked as was any decent Negro of the man-of-all-work period of our development, if his mother had been obliged to do long hours of work during his pre-natal period, and had he in the progress of his life been obliged to endure just one half of the unfairness with which virtually every Negro is yet assailed in daily life, that he or any white man I know would right now be looking through the bars of the dangerous-patient ward of some asylum. This thing of being a Negro in America is hard on the nervous system. The wonder is that we are rot all crazy. The Nordics sure provide causes enough. Hear that? The college fraternity boys are urging that more Negroes get into the professions. This with the dining cars and sleepers going out of every terminal overloaded with highly educated porters who could not make the grade in the surfeited professional classes. Too much competition in the limited markets which are open to the people of color. Let us get practical and get into the money. What we need is some business enterprises to absorb the profit derived from our labor and accumulate the surplus needed to support the professionals which we now have. And, may be say, sotto voce, a more loyal support from our professionals for the existing businesses we are struggling to maintain. Then, too, it won't hurt to improve the quality of the professional. This thing of laying down on the job just as soon as the ink is dry on the diploma has made mere parasites of many promising doctors, lawyers, journalists and teachers. Our trouble is that we think that a title is expected to replace the need of work. Anyone can get a gang together any where or any time and for any purpose; but it takes ability to keep your bunch intact and going the way you want them to go. The trick is a hard one, as the Defense Fund promoters now know. Dr. Sweet was expected to appear in Washington and further agonize the general public in the interests of the enlarged Fifth Ave. treasury; but when the sponsoring committee of women were ordered to take the proper steps—Well!! Talk about your rebellions. The way those good sisters kicked the traces was great stuff. It seems that but six names were given credit in the press release covering the Big Week, and the girls who did the real work have not relished the lack of recognition of their efforts. Wonder when will the Clubs ALL get together again in the name of a "cause"? H. R. 58, is a bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Congressman Gasque to provide for the election of a Board of Education for the District of Columbia, and other purposes. Remember the "other purposes." There are no less than NINE different sentences and phrases included in the bill that warrant more than passing interest from the Negro citizens of the District if they would safeguard their rights. There is nothing in any of the paragraphs that is positively adverse to the Race, but there are some harmless sounding phrases there, that may readily be interpreted to our disadvantage, if not watched with care. Of course, there is really no reason for any immediate anxiety, for it's a long ways from the introduction of a bill to its enactment into law, especially when the bill involves the possibility of giving the Negro any more voice in our government that he now enjoys. Citizens of the District of Columbia would be voting now and long since if the average complexion of the same citizenry was not so far removed from Caucasian colors. The idea of giving a hundred and twenty-five thousand additional Negroes a vote is too preposterous to think of. If that were contemplated at all, Congress would begin in the Southern states where they could be counted out with greater ease. Don't get flustered, folks. Mr. Gasque is probably working at the same old game—assembling a little trading material. We have long believed that the prejudice of the South was primarily the property of the Old South, and that with education and enlightenment the new generation would have bigger, brighter minds unobscured or less obscured by color prejudice. But the stir which has been caused by the election of a Negro college woman upon the executive committee of the National Student Federation, has dispelled that illusion. "The Hatchet," the student organ of George Washington University of this city, reflects the South in its issue of December 23. It devotes most of its space to fussing and snarling about the election. It is handled by a signed writer in a lead story; a columnist devotes much of his space to it; it is handled editorially in double-column bold faced type, and it is referred to otherwise. The columnist spilled a mouthful in these words: "People who busy themselves fighting out the troubles of their Grandfathers do not have time to foresee the troubles of their grandsons"; and, the big staff of "The Hatchet" proceeds to look after Grandfather. Sororities and fraternal orders of colleges, composed of Negro leaders in the making, meet occasionally, pay tribute to some one, dance much, and have a grand time. Beyond this, what? A Woman's Point of View By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS Wm. N. Jones, who writes the "Day by Day" column in the Afro-American of Baltimore, wants to know if I am sane on the social equality question. He challenges me to go to the heart of the most deeply seated of American tragedies. He asks me to state my belief in clear, unequivocal language. Here goes my first installment. Next week I shall discuss inter-marriage. I believe in social equality. Social equality is the equality or approximate equality (since human beings cannot be standardized) of individuals in blood, character, culture, influence, ideals and personal tastes. It is not, and never will be a thing of race or color. People are not social equals because they are white, nor are they social inferiors, because they are black. Their essentially human equality is a divinely made thing, and is inherently and affinitively related. It cannot, therefore, be destroyed by being denied by human agencies, instrumentalities and attitudes. Yes, I believe in what is divine, in revocable and unalterable. The creation of humanity out of one blood establishes and sustains man's inherent and absolute equality with man. The fact that there are people who do not believe in it does not alter the fact that it is, any more than disbelieving that there is a God annihilates that omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being. Negroes and whites are terribly confused in their thinking on the real meaning of social equality. They think that simply being white makes people social equals. It does not. It simply makes them white—that's all. It up to them to make themselves equal or superior to members of their own race or to members of other races, by acquiring education, culture, influence and character. White or black people who do not acquire these weapons and graces, can never be social equals with the white or black people who do. Ignorant white people teach their children that the mere fact of being white is a tremendously superior thing. It is not. To the millions of unaspiring whites, this sense of supposed superior station is most satisfying. They feel that they are already something, and that's enough. Just being white puts them as high up as they want to go. They become so intoxicated over not being black, and so dizzy over looking down on somebody else, that they cannot learn and they cannot aspire. There are millions of unaspiring, spirited white dummies and derelicts who are satisfied at just being white. They have no higher aspiration. That's the moral penalty of teaching the fallacious doctrine of color social superiority. The mere incident of color does not make races or individuals superior. Superiority comes from character, conduct and achievement. There are millions of white people who cannot associate with members of their own race on terms of social equality. Social equality simply means that the virtuous associate with the virtuous, the vicious with the vicious, the wise with the wise, the cultured with the MUSIC FORUM BY WELLINGTON ADAMS IN THE SPOTLIGHT Early in the new year the eastern half of the country is being illuminated with musical programs of a high calibre by Race artists. The familiar name of Roland Hayes is reechoing up and down the coast line of our country in thunderous reverberations and the demand for his appearance grows stronger with each hearing by a music-hungering throng of American citizens regardless to color or race. Indeed no Negro singer in the past half century has scored such a triumph success as a finished artist as has Mr. Hayes. Returning to Philadelphia last Saturday night he appeared as soloist of the concert given by the Philadelphia Orchestra. He sang again Monday with the same orchestra. Last week on Wednesday, he sang in Carnegie Hall, New York City. On Tuesday evening of this week, he won a notable victory here in the National Capital that shall not be forgotten. In Town Hall, New York City, last Tuesday evening, Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown appeared in their first concert this season in "Soul stirring program of Negro Music." Elkins Negro Ensemble gives a program this Saturday evening in Town Hall including both Spirituals and Secular music, Miss Sonoma C. Talley at the piano. Negro composers represented on the program are: Harry T. Burleigh, Carl R. Diton, J. Rosamond Johnson, Will Marian Cook and William C. Elkins. 1. Negro Spirituals (Male Voices); a. Goin' Up; b. I'm Goin' to Sing All de Way; c. Hear de Lambs a-cryn; d. Witness; arranged by William C. Eikins. 2. Negro Spirituals, (mixed voices); a. Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, Harry T. Burleigh; b.

ORPHAN'S HOME Donor Withholds His Name Winston-Salem, N.C., Jan. 6—As the result of a gift of $20,000 from an unknown donor, the Memorial Industrial School, an institution for the care of colored orphans, is soon to be moved to a new and more suitable Program Part 1 cultured; that people of like tastes, ideals and standards commingle. The fact that black people are barred from white society does not make black people socially inferior nor does it make white people socially superior. There are members of both races worthy and fit for association each with the other, who do not exercise their social right to mix. They are simply satisfied in their own group. But they have no inferiority or superiority complex. What Lothrop Stoddard calls "The Rising Tide of Color" is in fact the rising tide of conscience, the rising tide of character and the rising tide of culture. When these, in individuals and groups, reach the high-water mark, through understanding and proper evaluation, all racial currents will flow through one common channel. Call it inter-anything-you-choose, but in fact it will be the one blood out of which God made all nations asserting its inalienable right to be one. Human notions cannot change divine laws. In things social, human beings are very much like birds. Birds of a feather flock together. Human beings of like tastes and ideals do the same thing. In things social, the right of private judgment has been, and always will be supreme. Human brotherhood is social as well as spiritual. What farce is this that makes us talk brotherhood, and pray with our brother for daily bread, and then when we get it, makes us refuse to eat together the thing for which we have prayed? The Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man establishes social equality. It is augmented by education, culture, and achievement. Many white Americans thought that Booker T. Washington did not believe in social equality, and yet he enjoyed more of it than any Negro who has ever walked the earth since the Anglo-Saxon race began its ascendency. He ate at the tables, slept in the homes, and was the guest of honor at many functions in private homes—and always with the blue bloods of the world He was the social equal of people who entertained him. That's why they did it. In character, ideals and common objectives, they thought alike. In our ignorance, both races confuse public privileges or civil rights with social equality. Civil rights relate entirely to public privileges. Social equality or social intercourse is an inherent, primary, individual and personal prerogative. It is beyond man-made laws or franchise. Riding in mixed cars is not social equality, nor is eating in the same hotel or swimming in the same hole. These are civil rights for which men pay. Admission to public places of amusement, instruction and comfort is not social equality. These are civil rights or public privileges. Those who operate such places do so by franchise and those who enjoy them pay for the privilege. Social equality means cordial social reciprocity. We must stop confusing social equality with civil rights. Male voices; a. The Beleagrued, A. S. Sullivan; b. Reveries, A. M. Storeh; c. Since You Went Away, Johnson-Ellkins; d. A Catastrophe, N. B. Sprague. Mixed voices; a. O Southland, Harry T. Burleigh; b. My Lady's Lips, Will Marion Cook; c. A Southern Lady, Harry T. Burleigh; d. Swing Along, Will Marion Cook. Note:—In the rendition of the Spirituals we steadfastly adhere to the spirit of our forefathers who sang these songs under the yoke of oppression with the hope for ultimate justice and the brotherhood of man. On next Sunday evening, January 10th, an entire program of Negro Spirituals is to be given at the Copley Theatre, Boston. The artists are J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon of New York. Mr. Johnson whose reputation is thoroughly and favorably established, has recently published an entire volume of Negro Spirituals which has received wonderful reception all over the country. Taylor Gordon will sing with Rosamond Johnson at the piano in the following Spirituals: Part 1. Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel? My Lord's A-Writin' All Do Time; Swing Low, Sweet Chariot; Keep A-Inchin' Along. Part 2. Go Down, Moses; I got a Home in a Dat Rock, arranged by Lawrence Brown; My Lord, What a Mornin'! All God's Chillun. Part 3. Nobody Knows De Trouble I See; Git on Board, Little Chillun (arranged by Lawrence Brown); Deep River. Part 4. Little David, Play on Yo' Harp; Singing Wid a Sword in Ma Han'; What Yo' Gwine To Do When Yo' Lamp Burn Down; Witness. Slowly but surely the day of Negro music and Negro artists is dawning in America! And, as we always have contended, Negro music is the only real American music this country may boast as all elements are native to the soil and are not borrowed of a single alien nation. We have after all is said and done, much to stimulate our racial pride. site. The new location, which was purchased with the money provided in the gift, comprises 386 acres located on a new highway north of the city. The school will be situated on a commanding ridge, with a splendid view of the surrounding mountains. The name of the institution's benefactor was withheld at his own request. 4 Part II (Continued from page 1) capable and devoted principals and the suggestion that a consideration of future policies be given should carry with it no thought that the wisdom and efficiency of present and past administrations are being called into question. We should determine the future policies of these schools by a careful and thoughtful comparison of the existing courses and instruction procedure with similar courses and procedure in other city training schools of the first rank. We must determine whether the automatic admission of pupils to these schools upon the receipt of a high school diploma is an adequate procedure for the procurement of students possessing the qualities of successful teachers. The per capita cost of instruction is relatively high and it seems fair to inquire whether, in justice to the citizens of the District of Columbia, these pupils ought not to be selected upon some basis which would give a fair prognosis of success in the future service of these pupils as teachers. II. The question of the relative weight between instruction leading to skill in the art of teaching and those steps designed to bring about a mental attitude and appreciation of teaching as a science must be determined. III. In view of the assured expansion of the school system and the need of constantly adapting our educational procedure to meet the modern ideals of teacher training, it seems appropriate at this time to determine how far the procedure which has served in the past is adequate to meet the demands of the future. IV. It may be pertinent to make inquiries similar to the following: (1) Should the normal schools restrict their preparation to teachers to the local demand or should they extend their facilities to those who would teach outside the District of Columbia? (2) Should the enrollment of students in the normal schools be limited? If so, upon what basis shall the limitation take place? (3) Should the normal schools attempt to meet the demands for teachers in all classes and types of elementary service? (4) Should the normal schools prepare teachers for work above elementary level? (5) Should the normal school course be extended to three or to four years leading to a degree? (6) What are the objectives of the several curricula as now offered by the normal schools? (7) Do the objectives sought determine the course of study? Are the courses differentiated on the basis of desired ends? (8) Is there a close articulation between theory and practice? (9) Are the students in the several courses selected on the basis of specific aptitudes and previous preparation? (10) Does the organization provide for a graded system of practice teaching extending from the beginning to the end of the normal school course? (11) Are the facilities for observation, participation and practice teaching adequate to meet the demands of the course of study? (12) Are the number of students too great for the practice facilities? (13) Do the teaching loads permit effective work? (14) Is the equipment satisfactory to meet instructional needs? (15) Is the number of graduates who actually enter and remain in the teaching profession a sufficiently great proportion of the total number of the graduates to justify the cost of maintaining so large a student body? V. With an appropriate time and an excellent source of experienced advice and counsel at hand we should avail ourselves of the opportunity to secure for the benefit of our schools the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Education in evaluating our existing normal school courses and offering suggestions concerning modifications, extensions and enrichment of our curriculum. In accordance with the suggestions made by Messrs. Kramer and Wilkinson, I recommend that the Board of Education extend an official invitation to the U. S. Bureau of Education to make a survey of the Wilson and Miner Normal Schools and undertake to furnish the Board with facts and recommendations which will indicate what the future policy for these schools should be. Respectfully submitted, FRANK W. BALLOU, Superintendent of Schools. SAY NEGRO SCHOOLS ARE A SUCCESS (By the Associated Negro Press)—In statement to the press this week, Dr. I. Garland Penn, one of the secretaries in charge of Negro work for the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, declared that the growth and success of education in colleges and schools of the Negro is remarkable. Thirty years ago, according to Dr. Penn, there was not a Negro filling the presidency of any of the schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Now there are eleven. Thirty years ago most of the teachers were white missionaries; now out of 450 teachers fully 400 are colored. MAN WANTED IN CAROLINA RELEASED BY A PA. JUDGE Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 2—Refusing to "return a man to a State where members of his own race could not sit on a jury at his trial," Common Pleas Judge James B. Dremt today ordered Sandy Husev, 60, to be released. Police had been holding Husey since December 5, at the request of the governor of North Carolina, who sought to have him returned to Winston-Salem to answer charges of selling liquor. Interior Appropriation Bill Carries $218,000 for Howard University Interior Appropriation Bill Carries $218,000 for Howard University (Continued from page 1) bill will carry an item of $28,000. This is $6,000 less than was appropriated for the current fiscal year. The bill will carry for the medical department an item of $9,000 for equipment, laboratory supplies, apparatus, and repair of laboratories and buildings. That is the same amount that was appropriated for the current fiscal year. Medical Building The item of last year's bill of $370,000 for the construction of a new building for a medical department still stands appropriated. No part of this sum, however, will be available until there is filed with the Secretary of the Interior a guaranty by the trustees of the university that suitable equipment for this building will be provided at a cost of not less than $130,000 by subscription of alumni and friends of the university. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, told a subcommittee of the House committee on appropriations when hearings were held on the bill, that the architect will submit proposals on the building in February. He also stated that $80,000 of the $130,000 necessary for the phy- PRUDENTIAL BANK PRUDENTIAL BANK At Washington, in the District of Col- cember 31, 1925. RESO 1.

There is a two-year limit for the raising of the balance, of $50,000. This campaign to raise the money to equip the new medical building is independent of the effort to raise the five-hundred-thousand-dollar endowment fund. This latter amount has been assured, half of it coming from the General Education Board. Other items in the bill include $5,000 for material and apparatus for the science department, $3,000 for the library, $30,000 for improvement of grounds and repair of buildings, and $18,000 for fuel and light. The fuel and light item is an increase of $3,000 over the appropriation for the current year and was recommended by the Budget Bureau. Freedmen's Hospital Freedmen's Hospital is to get an increase of $24,496 for salaries, professional services, etc., but is cut $11,056 in the allotment for subsistence, fuel, medicine, etc., a net gain of $13,440. President Durkee Defends Trustees In his general statement before the subcommittee holding hearings on the bill, Dr. Durkee said: "The trustees, after most expert advice, brought about certain consolidations which eliminate duplication of work, thus reducing both clerical and the teaching force. The money thus saved was added to the salaries of the teaching staff, thus bringing them up nearer to a living salary. Both economy and efficiency have thus been gained. Much outside criticism has been poured upon this readjustment. RESOURCES 1234 4th Street, N.W. Phone, Main 7582 OUR MOTIVE-To relieve bereaved families of all burdens and a desire to render greater service for the mutual benefit of all concerned. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1926 but the Government and the country should be thankful for such an able and courageous board of trustees." Roland Hayes Sings to Large Mixed Audience last Tuesday evening, held a large audience under the seductive spell of his golden voice. The audience showed its appreciation of his art with vigorous applause, rewarded by several encores. He lived up to his standard, known on both sides of the Atlantic, last Tuesday, and had assisting him at the piano a master of the art of accompanying, William Lawrence. From the first notes of the opening number, an aria by Mozart "Tali e constanti sono," to the last ones in the last encore of Spirituals, the singer held his audience spellbound. He showed linguistic gifts as well as musical. Nothing could have been more exquisite than the encore number, "In the Silence of the Night," which pleased the great audience notably, and also the group of Spirituals which were given with due reverence and dignity in such a striking manner as to almost bring tears to the eyes. To hear him sing a Spiritual gives it a newer meaning and a freshness that sends one away with the feeling that here is undeniably a singer, a leader of his race in art. His Spirituals stin the soul to the very depths. But as well, his art is a living thing. It breathes and breathes and breathes a life of musical essence sending for the an aroma that at once permeates all it touches. It shows him to be one among the great singers of the age, in phrasing, tone color, faultless mezzo voice and legato.

At midnight Saturday, night, the illustrious peers of Jonathan Davis Consistory No. 1 conducted the Knights of Kadosh services over Reverend Howard, who was a thirty-third degree Mason. He was a member of Pythagoras Lodge No. 9, Free Ancient and Accepted Masons, and both the lodge and the consistency in full uniform attended the funeral.

The galleries were opened at 11 o'clock and were immediately filled. Thousands were unable to get admittance to the church. Along the route of the funeral cortège from the church to Pennsylvania Avenue, people crowded for a glimpse at the funeral procession. There were more than two hundred and fifty automobiles in line. John T. Rhines was the funeral director in charge of the funeral. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery on Monday. The casket, in which Reverend Howard was buried, was bronze metallic with a plate inscription of gold of the dates of birth and death—June 15, 1854—December 30, 1925. The honorary pallbearers were the Reverends Richard Johnson, Chapman Walker, John Burke, L. D. Dent, R. C. Herbert and O. G. Granderson. BARRY FARM NOTES Presiding Elder G. T. Long of the local district of the C. M. E. Church preached an eloquent sermon at St John Church Sunday last, in the absence of a regular pastor. It is very likely that a selection of a new minister will shortly be made. After a pleasant stay during the Christmas and New Year holiday period with her mother, Mrs. L. C. G. Craig of Stanton Road, Mrs. Louise Craig Jones, a teacher in the New York public schools, returned to the metropolitan city on Sunday. With an enrollment of 650 pupils, just a trifling few were absent at the resumption of the public school sessions of the Birney School following the Christmas and New Year holidays on Monday. Administration principal, John E. Syphax, is a very popular official in the suburb. In greeting the New Year, a wild shot from some unknown reveler's gun crashed through a door at the home of John H. Wilson of Nichols Avenue. The affair was reported at the 11th Police Precinct. Mrs. Emily Dade, a former slave whose age is believed more than 100 years, died at St. Elizabeth Hospital from Vermont Avenue Baptist Church recently. Funeral services were held with Rev. James E. Willis, officiating. Friends of Mrs. Dade state that she was 127 years old, and that she remembered the Gold Rush in 1849 and was twice married before John Brown's raid. A surviving brother Timothy Coleman, resides in the District. The regular meeting of the Bar y Farm Citizens Association will occur Tuesday next in St. John C. M. E. Church. Members of the citizens body are greatly pleased at the appointment by president Coolidge of Major U. S. Grant, 3rd, as superintendent of public buildings and grounds.

Coach Miller’s selection for the ‘opening toss of the ball seemed intent upon making the game a speed mar- vel, for wth lightning rapidity the ball began to travel so fast that even the referee, Mr. Westmoreland could, with difficulty, keep his eye on it. Not so ‘with the players for they handled the balk-like veterans and with the alum- ni determined to teach the youngsters something new in the game, the sea- son started with much pep. The alumni scored the first and last points in the game, but the Orange and Blue boys ran ‘up a total of 27 while their opponents barely scored 16. ‘The most surprising feature of the game was the playing of Armstrong’s guard, Gray, who seemed to be a wiz- ‘ard at passing and shooting. So as- tounding was his playing that the wonderful shot, Turner, of tne alumni @id not make a single point during the entire game.

Henderson With the increasing emphasis being placed upon athletic sport everywhere, and the very progressive growth made in schools* for colored youth, it -is urgent that the mistakes of the pio- neers be not repeated but that the most up-to-date standards be set. For the most part the coaches are men of character, sufficient academic train- ing, and have the ideals of the game at heart. They would be better; the games as agencies for physical’ and character development would be bet- ter off, if the ideals of the alumni of many schools were not so all power- fully centered in the business in win- ning games instead of seeing the playing-of-games to win. With many of the big coaches of the country, there is a saying, “That good alumni are the dead alumni.” The sports writer in our press is a potent factor. It lies within his power to popularize the best efforts of the coaches and players or to des- troy by condemnation vicious prac- tices. This is being done. Very few coaches are withdrawing from the ficld of play nowadays, al- though a few are yet alibing for each defeat on the slightest provocation. ‘The pressure exerted by influential alumni or fraternities makes them easy prey to the habit of excusing defeat. But this is growing less. There are coaches and teams that can take defeat graciously and the men are invariably good sports in. school an¢ in after life while opposite tactic: apa- different types of coaches turr jut mockers and poor sportsmen: intc the social group. Character First The officials need to give more time and study to the game, Much of the crowd reaction and training of th boys and men in the games depends upon them. It won't do any good t take last year’s star player and give him an important game to handle un. tess he has shown he has the quali. fications of a good official. Character first, a knowledge of the rules, abilits to think quickly, and ready adjustment are necessary. Coaches who secur officials have got to be less influences by officials whose work bears. ear marks of “seeking for another job” by dodging the essential if unpleasan duties of their office. The write knows of officials who get jobs b; Playing up the social stunt with th coaches, who work always in minor ca pacity, seldom penalize, but let th major officials carry the brunt of th setting-back of teams. As long a coaches hire men because they neve offend, and are sociably agreeable, th are putting obstacles in the way 0 well-managed games. All official who work long and often are going t make mistakes but they make fewe mistakes by reason of long aequain ance with the game, familiarity witl difficult situations, knowledge of th rules and their application under va ried circumstances, and an understand ing of men and boys in games, Practicing and would-be official might profit by observing the follow ing standards and a for ath letic officials in any line of sport: Coaches’ Credo 1. 1 will regard my connection witl an athletic contest as a professions relation demanding the highest typ ‘of service. 2, I will not undertake to officiat without thorough preparation. 8.

First one team would be on top, and then the other, supplying thrills galore, which warmed the hearts of old timers, and Set the younger generation howling with glee, Following their championship tilt, ‘the new world champions successfully defended their title against Berlen- bach's’ All Stars, a team of stellar floor men, gathered together by the light-heavyweight champion. ‘The new world champions are in the midst of a controversy with the Lo- endi basketeers of Pittsburgh who won the national title from the Com- monwealth team of New York in 1921. The. Renaissance aggregation was made up shortly after that game took place, and up to this time the nation- ‘al champions under the leadership of Cum Posey bave never met on a bask- etball court, : Controversy Shortly before the game in which’ the Renaissance team won the world title from the Original Celtics, Posey wrote a newspaper article claiming| that the Loendi were still the na- tional champions despite the claim of the Renaissance adherents to the con- trary. The Loendies have been beat- en, but never on their home court, and with their full line-up on the floor, and Posey stated that no team could claim the national title before meeting and defeating the Loendies in ‘a home game and home arrangement. ‘The Renaissance quintet answered Posey’s challenge in a convineing way ‘by walking out on the court and de- feating the Original Celtics for the jorid title, and have made a reply Pie as they are at present world |champions,. they are not willing to ‘eondescend to any such aggregation |as a team of national chempions only. |And if the Loendies want a game, they will have to travel to New York land meet the champions, and then re- ‘turn to Pienaiety and duplicate their conquest, if_any. “Bob” Douglas abd “his “gang ar sitting pretty” at present, and arc not willing. to kowtow to any body even if they are national champions SIOoLKVOLENnS d 4 E Z ‘ \e ‘a. \ L nt ity Hi} aa ANDERSON AND FANTROY, run- ners who were barred from the Washington Post Marathon race on March 3rd, 1925. _ also for the type of service which 1 am able to render. 9.1 will report for duty preferably ‘twenty minutes preceding the game.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1926 SPORTS CHATTER = | The Washington Post plans to have the third annual running of ‘ts mara- en, of 10 miles, on February 22. Last year two boys were barred from the race on account of their color. They were Anderson and Fantroy. They complied with every rule for entry, presented themselves on the morning of the race, were pronounced physically fit by the examining physician, but were told by the Post’s Sports Editor that they could not run because there were objections to their competing by some of the runners. Now, in order to avoid any repetition of this and that the public may be fully informed as to the conditions of thie proposed marathon respecting’ the entry of runners, The Washington Tribune under date of January 1, 1926— the same day that The Post carried the announcement concerning the plans tor the running of the marathon—addressed a communication to the Sport’s editor of ‘the Post inquiring whether or not colored runners would be dis- criminated against end barred from the race, As yet, there has been no reply. In the meantime, however, runners, who wish to compete, should begin training, so that if the marathon is run they will be in condition 10 enter. The sporting thing for Howard University to do, in the light of the state- ments of the officials in the Howard-Wilberforce game on November 6 last, is to declare that game a scoreless tie. An illegal forward pass—ruled com- Fleted by the referee—paved the way for the Howard touchdown. Sports writers, who were in position to see the play, said that the pass was incom- plete. L, U. Gibson, the referee, admitted that his decision was based upon his failure to get a signal from the umpire, A, K, Savoy, the umpire, de- ciared that he signaled the referee that the pass was incomplete but that Gibson missed his signal. The referee erred in his decision, all are agreed, and the Howard University athletic officials, in the interest of fair play and good sportsmanship, should declare the game a scoreless tie. Basketball officials are complaining about the games being slowed, The cfiicials in the Delta Big Five and the Kappa Alpha Psi game at the Colon- nade last Saturday afternoon say that the boys almost quit during the game. They blame the flappers and their shorf skirts. The players just could not resist casting their eyes toward the sidelines where “rolled top” stockings and bare knees were glancing sidewise. And whenever time was taken out, it was just too bad. It seemed as if it was taken out to give the players 4n opportunity to get a good look, Neverthless, it was a good game, a little rough, but fast and furious when the boys would decide to play. ea alianeatia Le cB eda Se LOCAL N.

This bout has been définitely fixed for February 26, subject, of course, to the approval of the New York State Athletic Com- mission. They are to go fifteen rounds |. The Georgia boxer had already |signed for the match and all that was needed to close the contest was Greb’s signature and the official approval of the commission, Inasmuch as the match was virtually made and ordered by the local bgard, it is hardly con- ceivable that it will not be approved. Greb wquld have signed the articles yesterday had it not been for the fact ‘that the contracts had been forwarded ito Pittsburgh for the signature of Red Mason, who is supposed to be the mid- dleweight champion’s manager. Greb, however, reached satisfactory terms with Richard and the actual signing of the contracts will be merely a for- ‘mality. | Greb said that the terms to which he had agreed would net him some- thing like $60,000 for this bout. Expects Hard Fight “T expect to have one of the tough- est battles of my career with Tiger Flowers,” said Harry. “I have met him once before in a no-decision con- test and I found him one of the hardest hitters T ever faced. We boxed at Fremont, Ohio, when Flowers was not as good as he is to-day. He was good enough on that occasion, however, to give me plenty of trouble.” Greb stated that he would start training immediately for the Flowers battle, and expected to fight himself into condition. He will engage in four bouts before meeting the Georgian, ‘that being Harry's favorite method of jfitting himself for an important match. Phone JOSEPH S.

ZETA PHI BETA IN CONCLAVE ZETA PHI BETA IN CONCLAVE National "Finer Womanhood Week" Proposed Baltimore, Md., Jan. 6—One of the most interesting and enthusiastic conventions of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority began Sunday, December 27, delegates from all parts of the country registering at the Community House of Baltimore, Md. The conclave formally convened on Monday, December 28, at 9 a.m. "Finer Womanhood" in all its phases was discussed at this meeting, every member as well as each delegate expressed a willingness and desire to do all in her power to make blamed on poor housing conditions, effective the club's adopted project. Delinquency among our women was low wages, cheap dance halls and theatres; improper and insufficient food, ignorance, and immoral ideas because of this ignorance. Mrs. Annie Malone of Saint Louis, and Mrs. Alice Carey of Atlanta, Ga., both honorary members, gave helpful and impressive talks on "Finer Womanhood." The conclave selected February 8th to the 13th to observe as a national "Finer Womanhood Week," at which time, every community will be flooded with lectures and literature on the subject. The meeting closed on Tuesday, December 29th, permeated by a general keynote of success. The following officers were elected: S. Evelin Lewis, president, Washington, D.C.; Edythe R. Green, first vice-president, Philadelphia; Craddie Hill second vice-president, Wiley, Texas; Carinne Osborne, recording secretary, Nashville, Tenn.; Marietta Buford corresponding secretary, Wiley, Texas; Lucille Jackson Wilson, treasurer, Washington, D.C.; Venetia Nichols, financial secretary, Atlanta, Ga.; Winona Harvey, editor of X-ray, New York City; Emma L. Askew, publicity agent, Washington, D.C.; Mrs. Annie Malone, president ex-officio, St. Louis; Mrs. Alice Carey, president ex-officio, Atlanta, Ga. "Darktown Erolics" The initial offering of the stock company that Jimmie Cooper has placed in the Howard Theatre gives promise of a season of genuine amusement for the patrons o the house. If the standard of this week's show is meant for the patrons of the house, is safe. There were no remarkably brilliant personalities in the production, nor has the piece itself any distinctive characteriste. The show is frankly the bit and song style of production that is prevalent in revues and in burlesque. The average of talent however, is far above the usual standard for a whole company. The cast includes honest-to-goodness bigtime principals, and the chorus is composed of a nice looking bunch of girls who sail into their work with the vigor demanded by present-day standards and deliver pen and speed. The repeat engagement of Ethel Waters and the patronage approval tendered to several prior attractions with rich racy dancing bare legs, oriental suggestiveness, was recognized in the assembling of this show; and Princess Acuna is doing a contortion dance to oriental music while the air is charged with incense that will bring thrills or gasps, as one's culture may direct. This is one extreme of the show. Effects and Music The production is in two acts, eight scenes, and the coordination of the bits is the work of Leo Stevens, a stage director of more than thirty years experience in all sorts of attractions. The dance numbers were taught by Billy Andrews, who is also the juvenile of the show. Tim Brynn is responsible for the musical arrangements. Each of these fellows have done well. The show runs smoothly, the dances are fast and of sufficient intricacy, and at times the music is indeed enthralling. One's sweet disposition is riled at first at the absence of a printed program; but the opening overture catches one with the realization that the orchestra has undergone a vast improvement and the house is forgiven. They have a band in the Howard pit now. The opening number is fast and arrests attention promptly. Billy Cumby and "Doc" Straine have the comedy, and they deliver. Lionel Monagas, Bessie Brown, Grace Smith, Babe Jackson and Wesley Hill with Maude Mills, who has feature billing, make up the cast. Catchy Songs Of the sixteen song numbers, three stand out with distinctiveness. Perhaps the most picturesque is "Ideal of a Girl" by debonaire Billy Andrews and six girls with Babe Jackson doing a Miss Simplicity role. The most impressive number, musically, is "Egypt," sung by Babe Jackson to the dance accompaniment of the Princess referred to above. The music of this number is of unusual quality and well rendered. The sweetest thing is "Where the Sweet Tulips Grow," a Hollandaise number by Babe Jackson with an octette of girls, which if the windmill had been used, would have had the same effectiveness as a similar offering in Ziegfeld's Follies. It was a decided hit at that. Grace Smith sold her numbers well and her dance work was accepted with applause. Billy Cumby was just Billy Cumby which is quite enough. Bessie Brown replaced Edith Wilson in the act that "Doc" Straine made famous in vaudeville and the N. Y. Clubs, and the change of personnel has not hurt the laugh provoking act one bit. Miss Brown stepped into a hard job and made good. Maud Mills Maude Mills, sister of Florence, made three appearances in a series of jazz numbers, supported and unsupported by the chorus. She delivered what was expected of her. The show was well costumed, the principals properly attired for their respective parts. There was sufficient variations of scenic effects for a more expensive show; and altogether DUNBAR THEATRE er it was a big 83 cents worth of show. Knowing the entire cast and the individual qualities of each, we may with safety predict freedom from sameness in subsequent pieces for weeks to come, for none of the cast was at all extended, and each has reserve talent that has not been disclosed in the District. ALPHA PHI ALPHA ELECTS NEW OFFICERS FOR 1926 Detroit, Michigan, Jan. 7—After seven years of continuous service as National Secretary of the Alpha Phil Alpha Fraternity, during which time the fraternity grew to a present roll of some 60 old chapters, Attorney Norman L. McGhee, former of Washington, but now of Cleveland, at the recent convention held in Detroit, Michigan, relinquished the office to J. E. Evans, of Atlanta, Georgia. The length of time Attorney McGhee served as a national officer sets a new record in Negro college fraternity circles, his seven years being the longest of any fraternity officer. Takes Up Practice of Law Following the close of the 1924 convention held in New York City, Attorney McGhee resigned his position at Howard University where he served in the office of Dr. Emmett J. Scott as Assistant to the Secretary-Treasurer and took up residence in Cleveland, Ohio. Since his going to Cleveland, increasing claims upon his time for the practice of law have been made. Another charge in the national ad- ministration of the Alpha Phi Alpha was the election of Percival R. Piper of Detroit, Michigan, as National Treasurer. This place has been held for five years by Dr. Homer Cooper, of Chicago, Ill. Other officers elected at Detroit, were: Raymond W. Cannon, who was re-elected as president; Peyton F. Anderson, of New York City, vice president; Charles W. Greene, of Atlanta, Ga., as vice president; Harley S. Manuel, of Columbus, Ohio, as vice president; James W. McGregor, of Los Angeles, Calif., as vice president; and Oscar C. Brown, who was re-elected as editor of the Sphinx. $8,000 GIFT FOR COLORED HOSPITAL IN GREENBORO Offer Contingent Upon Public Maintenance—Another Gift of $10,000 for Equipment Greensboro, N.C., Jan. 6—Mrs. L. Richardson, of this city, has offered to donate $60,000 for the establishment here of a hospital for colored people, contingent upon the city of Greensboro and the County of Gullford providing maintenance. It is said that the city officials have agreed as to the city's share. The county board of commissioners will take the matter up at an early date. Mrs. Sternberger, of this city, gave ten thousand dollars for laboratory equipment. The colored group will raise ten thousand dollars for beds and other equipment. LINCOLN THEATRE What the Press Agents Say What the Press Agents Say TO THE BROADWAY On Wednesday and Thursday, January 13 and 14, the Broadway Theatre will present Erich Von Stroheim's master production, "The Merry Widow" with Mae Murray as the gay widow and John Gilbert as the Prince. We need not tell our patrons what to expect, we can only say that if you missed this wonderful feature all its first showing, you will miss the treat of your life should you pass up your last chance to see it. We all know Eric Von Stroheim as a director in "Foolish Wives" and many other wonderful photo plays that he has directed while in Mae Murray and John Gilbert we have two real stars that will please at all times. Sunday and Monday will be the first great film to expose spooks, spiritualism, seances, table tapping and all the other fake methods that make up the supposed art of fortune telling, in "The Mystic" with Aileen Pringle, Conway Tearle and Mitchell Lewis. On Tuesday, the wonderful Norma Talmade will be shown in "The Only Woman." You will love her in this picture. Friday and Saturday, the best selling novel of the year on the screen will be shown with Owen Moore, Madge Bellamy, Bryant Washburn and Lilyan Tashman in "The Parasite." Our ever growing country store on Saturday nights happens to be the town talk. "TIGER" FLOWERS TO BE AT THE HOWARD THEATRE Sit right up straight and take notice! Learn something at the Howard Theatre next week! You can laugh and smile your way through by watching that breezy show "Creele Bells." Tunnel with its singing, snappy with its dance creations, smart and witty with comedy and wise cracks, it can't help but please. You cannot miss, for if you don't like to smile, try a thrill. At your service each and every performance will be the Georgia tornado, the Theodore "Tiger" Flowers, the fighting deacon, a fighter that fights his way through. He recently gave Mike McTigue a trimming for seven rounds. The judges gave the decision to McTigue, leaving the large crowd of fight fans howling a protest of the unfairness, while the "Tiger" only smiles. That's why he is popular. In six months he goes after the championship crown. His appearance at the Howard for one week beginning Monday, will positively be his only appearance in public before going in training for his match with Harry Greb.

National Officers of Brotherhood of Pullman Porters Spend Week in Washington PAGE EIGHT SERIES OF MEETING PRODUC TIVE OF EXCELLENT RESULTS Wage Conference of Company Discussed A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters spent several days in Washington. He arrived on New Year's Day accompanied by Assistant Organizer, A. L. Totten. The primary purpose of the visit was to fulfill an engagement Mr. Randolph had made to appear as principal speaker at the celebration of the Emancipation Committee at Metropolitan Baptist Church. He and Mr. Totten remained to conduct a series of meetings with the porters. The stay in Washington was an exceptionally successful one for the organization. In addition to the first appearance Mr. Randolph spoke at the club house of the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity, the law frat of the city, many of whose student members are employed by the Pullman company during the summer vacation period. There is considerable significance in the cordial reception that Mr. Randolph received at the hands of these men. On Sunday afternoon, Monday night and again on Tuesday night, Messrs. Totton and Randolph talked to groups of porters and sympathizers at the Peoples Congregational Church on M Street. The reason for the several sessions on different days being the necessity of meeting with different groups as they happened to be off duty and away from travel or station service. At the Monday night session, the porters had the pleasure of a few words from Garnet Warbington, one of the members of the board of directors of the Colored Actors Union. His presence with that of several other members of the show folks organization betokened an interest that goes far beyond the railway circles. Incidentally, while in the types of employment the two bodies have no similarity, it remains that both are travelling groups. Mr. Randolph, while here, called upon the Government through the National Republican Committee to make complaint against the activities of special assistant attorney general Perry Howard in the interests of the Pullman company. Randolph left Washington on Tuesday for New York. Mr. Totten who shared with Randolph the analysis of the porters' troubles declared in the course of his speech that the New Wage Conference that the Pullman company has called to meet in Chicago, is but another effort to destroy the Union possibilities by granting the men sufficient concessions to placate as many of them as possible. He declares that nonnines for places as delegates to the conference emphasize that fact. Out of 71 names submitted to the porters for election, there are but 5 sure friends, and one whose intentions are not definitely known; while on the other hand, the list includes 65 names of porters whose allegiance to the company in previous conferences has been so marked as to make them positive enemies of their co-workers. Totten declares that he sat in a meeting where J. D. Bannister of Philadelphia made an open statement that he "did not care about the niggers, he made his living from white people." W. H. H. Boggs of Chicago is another reactionary listed among the nominees. "Some are indeed positively ignorant and without enough education to recognize their own name." He mentioned T. A. Jones of Jacksonville, Fla., and W. Hill of Cincinnati as being of this class. He questions the sincerity of T. E. Grif- 1 fen of New York. The names of J. C. Mills of Chicago A. M. King of that city, S. S. Wells of Cleveland, M. C. Oglesby of Boston, and H. W. Ridley of San Francisco as being the only names mentioned among the nominees as being real men with the interests of their fellow workers at heart. This announcement met with hearty applause from the porters assembled. Totten's statement In an interview Mr. Totten stated that "the sentiment for the union in the middle and far West is blazing high. Reports come that the men are holding meetings on the quiet even before organizers reach them. Kansas City and Omaha have gone over the top with their colors flying. The entire populations in the respective cities were stirred by the earnest plea by Mr. Randolph for the necessity, right and value of the Pullman porters organizing. The white press of the West is behind the movement. Not a paper has taken the side of the Pullman Company or been taken in by the silly propaganda that the movement is backed by Moscow. "S. E. Grain, field agent of the Brotherhood, reports that the sentiment among the men for the organization is practically unanimous. The big metropolitan dallies and the Negro press are rendering yeoman service to the cause." MIRIAM CHAPTER NO. 4, O. E. S. The officers of Miriam Chapter, Order Eastern Star, set a precedent over other chapters in the Order in the matter of attending the various New Year Receptions. The officers met and visited in a body about 6 or 7 receptions. In union there is strength. By such an act it is easily seen that the officers of Miriam are united to carry on the good work done by the chapter in past years. Royal Matron, Hon. Lady Effie Coleman; Royal Patron, Sir Knight P.

He will be remembered by his good work, his cheerful nature, and above all his wit and sense of humor. VIRGINIA CHURCH BURNED Mt. Zion Baptist church, Frederickssburg, Va., was destroyed by fire on Monday December 28. The cause of the fire is unknown. It is the purpose of the church to rebuild as soon as sufficient funds can be secured. Miss Katherine Beard, of 1759 S St. N.W. entertained on last Friday afternoon from 4 to 8 P.
