ty went on record as favoring the pub

July 1, 1917, as heretofore announced,
and that the interest shall be payable
June 10 and Dec. Is in each year.

fore June Is, 1917, subject to the right
of the secretary in his discretion to

June %, 20 per cent on July 30, 30 per

w. Henderson Is president of this
thrifty racial institution. At present
there are enrolled at the school 105
young men and women Of our race
who are preparing themselves for prac-

This business college was founded by

WashingtOn.-It is gratifying to note
that our race is represented in the mil
itary officers reserve training camps
recently authorized by congress and
formally opened on May IA. OF the
100000 applicants only 10000 were ac-
cepted, and 10000 have reported for
duty in the sixteen camps located in
various sections of our country. 1t is
q remarkable fact that Of the $500
select men now at Fort Myer, Va,
near Washington, one Of that num-
ber being trained as an officer Of the
United States army is Francis M. Dent
of Amherst college, Massachusetts,,
class of 1917, under special provisions
made by the faculty because Of war
emergency. -.-.. .............. .....
He passed an excellent physical and
military examination and was highly
recommended by President Meiklejohn,
Dean Professor Olds and the head of
the Latin department. In this cOnnec-
ton it is interesting to note that Am
herst college is also the alma mater of
such distinguished men as Secretary
Of State Lansing, Governor Whitman
Of New York and the late Hon. Joseph
Choate, ex-ambassador to England.
Young Dent was also a classmate of
Mr.. Humphrey Redfeld, \sOn of Hon.
william G. Redfield. secretary of CON-
merce.
He is a Sobrino man and wears the
charm that has peculiar distinction
for every son Of Amherst college. Be-
fore entering Amherst he graduated
from the famous Dunbar high school
Of Washington, where he was adjutant
Of the battalion of High School cadets.
He is q modest young man, but cOura.
geous and brilliant when occasion de-
mands.
An instance Of this is the fact that
last year when the Birth Of a Nation
was being commended in the chapel
service because of its alleged historical
value young Dent voluntarily arose In
the chapel amid the large student body
and the college faculty and In scath-
ing terms denounced the play by Dixon

tack upon helpless race.
Afterward when students and pro-
fessors asked him for evidence upon
which he based his spirited attack he
gave them, among other things, Cover

r. J. Grimke's strong address on the

SO ably edited by DR.. Dubois.
Young Dent is the son Of Professor
and Mrs. T. NJ. Dent Of Washington.
who formerly lived in Rome, Ga.
where he was born Feb. 10, 1894. Mr..
Dent, whose commendable ambition is
to serve his country, is poor young
man who by pluck and the true Amer
ican spirit worked his way through
college, and his splendid record and
sterling example should be an inspira-
ton to every youth in the land ire
spective Of race.

Hampton Students Show Great Thrift
That members Of the Hampton in
stitute graduating class are alive to the
economic, educational and social prob
lens Of the passing hour is shown by
the questions which the boys have been
debating in their English classes. Here
are a few Of the questions which they
have discussed:
"Negro Migration to the North Should
Be Encouraged - Ignorance Is Great
er Menace to Civilization Than Pow
erty;" ''The Submarine Is More Effec-
tive In Modern Warfare Than the
Dreadnought;" champion Institute Is
of More Value to the Negro Race Than
Howard University" "All Labor Dis
putes In the Uuited States Should BE
Settled by Arbitration"

THE REHABILITATION o.
ATLANTA
Marks Some Progressive Tendencies


Atlanta, Ga, May 28.-A Commit
tee of Rehabilitation has been de-
signated by the Mayor of Atlanta,
with the advice of the Chamber of
Commerce to synchronize all the ele-
ments that center into the restora-
ton of the burned area and those
homes and business enterprises that
suffered loss in the recent fire.
The Committee is composed of the
following persons, all prominent in
the business development of Atlanta,
and several of much more than local
fame: Mr.. Edw. H. Inman, Mr.. Rock
we'll Johnson, Mr.. Isaac Schoen,
Judge Walter Colquitt, Mr.. Carlos H.
Mason, Mr. Harry H. Pace, Rev. E.
H. Oliver and Mr.. A. F. Herndon.
The three latter are Negroes. The
Minister'S position is self-explanatory.
Mr.. Herndon is owner of one of the
largest and best equipped barber
shops in America, is the dominant
factor in the Atlanta Mutual Insur-
ance Company, and resides in home
quite in keeping with his station. Mr.
Pace is the distinctive character upon
this Committee. He is young, virile
and the Negro prototype of the mod
ern business executive. His capabal
tiles are best explained by the fact
that at the age of 80, he is Secretary
Treasurer of the Standard Life In
surance Company, $l25,0OO.00 Legal
Reserve Life Insurance Company that
has on it's books Fife Million Dollars
worth of business, and that has met
every legal requirement and examina-
ton with books and records in such
shape as to receive commentator
from even antagonistic sources.
1t is a distinct novelty in the
South for Negro interests to be recog-
nized in community matters by the
active participation of bona fide busi-
ness men in the deliberations of con-
sequential bodies.
Occasionally in politics and relig-
ion some sort of Negro adjunct COM
mittees have been tolerated, but here
we find case of absolute and direct
interchange of ideas, and it may be
said that the exodus has not failed
to become prime factor in the Com
mittee's consideration.
Rehabilitating seven hundred white
and eight hundred Negro families of
every social and industrial type is no
mean job for even those eight high
minded and experienced men, and Our
race throughout the country may feel
certain that race interests will be
cared for with aggressiveness temp
cred by proper sense of justice and
business diplomacy. This will repre-
sent a lot of work to already busy
men but the establishment of this
precedent and its satisfactory fulfill
ment is of immeasureable value to
the race.
