National Body Will Act az Port Of

Joseph L Jones, editor of the Frater-
nal Monitor, Cincinnati, and chairman
Of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Negro Press association, out
lines the object and aim Of the national
congress Of Negro fraternities, organ
lied at Cincinnati in February, in the
following address to fraternal organi-
cations throughout the country. Mr..
Jones says:
The national congress of Negro fra
ternities is no longer a myth, but a
real, live, lusty infant, assured of
development and power which will
command the deferential consideration
Of the friend who needs our help or the
foe whose acts invite ouf opposition.
Seventy-two state organizations have
responded to our call.
Supine quiescence when the rights Of
the Negro are assailed is largely re-
sponsible for the illegal and unwar.

the Ford automobile factory, where he
was greatly impressed with Mr.. Ford's
system Of education.
From Detroit Mr.. Prillerman went
to Ann Arbor, Mich, to visit the state
university. Here he found about fifty
Negro students in attendance. Among
them was Miss Phyllis Waters of
Charleston, w. Va, who is a member
of the Junior class. He visited the
Michigan Agricultural college at Ian
sing, where his son, Delbert McCul-
Tough, is a Junior in the agricultural
course. There were three other col
ored students in attendance, but none
from the state Of Michigan. He was
treated with every courtesy by the
president and professors of the insti-
tuition and by invitation Of the presi-
dent spoke at banquet given by the
agricultural students.
On his way back to Institute, w. Va,
he stopped over a few days in Colum-
bus, where he visited the Champion
Avenue public school, Of which Miss
Maude Baker is principal. 1t will be
remembered that this is the only
school in Columbus especially for the
education Of Negro youth. 1t is an
experiment in the section of Columbus
where many Of our people reside. Miss
Baker Is doing very efficient work as
the principal Of this school. Mr.. Pril-
lerman visited the Ohio State univer-
sity, where he found some fifty col
orcd students in attendance
Among these were eight from West
Virginia. Four of the eight are grad
yates from the West Virginia Collegi.

tute, o. A. Pierce Of Fayetteville, EN-
NETT Saunders Of Eagle and John John.
son Of Montgomery. Mr.. Ferguson
holds the mile record at the Ohio State
university and has been selected as
class orator for the commencement
next June.
Mr.. Prillerman spoke to the colored
students In a body at their special re-
quest. He also visited the Ohio uni
versity at Athens, where he found
nine colored students in attendance.
While In Athens he was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. e. G. Berry Of the Berry
hotel.
It should be more widely known that
the Berry hotel is owned and operated
by e. G. Berry, a colored man who has
risen from the ranks. This hotel IL
regarded as one Of the best in south
eastern Ohio. In operating this hotel
Mr.. Berry has proved two things that
cause him to deserve national fame as
constructive and patriotic citizen.
He has built and conducts his hotel
without saloon attached and without
discriminating against the members Of
his own race. There is probably no
other Negro in America who has done
more single handed than has Mr.. Berry
in establishing and maintaining his
hotel on high principles.
Mr.. Prillerman says that the Negro
students have made fine record In
scholarship at all the institutions he
visited, but he was impressed with
the great lack Of opportunity for moral
and social training for Negro youth at
these great universities.

President Byrd Prillerman has re-
turned from Detroit, where he attend

that the attendance was the largest in

were more than 1900 present, and
President Shawkey, the efficient state

serves great credit for bringing so
many able educators together and for
