Y. W. c. A. TO USE NEGRO SONGS.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press.)


HobOken, N. j., Dec. 13.-As part
of its work, the section on music of
the Department of Religious Educa-
ton of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association is compiling book
of Negro melodies suitable for girls
voices. This book will also contain
some hymns which have proved
themselves to be universal favorites
among girls.
Stories of the origin and the in
depreciation of the Negro melodies
will also be included, that the girls
who sing them may fully appreciate
their charm.
The reason for compiling this book
is that such songs are prepared, as
rule, for mems voices. the range
of notes being difficult for the voices
of growing girls.
Music is a new venture in the
Y. w. C. A. Bureau of Religious
Education, and is already proving
itself of value in furthering the pur-
pose of the bureau which, to under
stand the thought and life Of women
and girls in this and other lands
to serve as a resource on materials
and methods of religious education
to lead the association movement tC
find its place in the nationwide task
of bringing the message and program
of Christ to bear on every young
woman; to become permeatine
force for moral and spiritual reality
throughout all phases of Y. W. C. A
life at home and abroad, according
to Miss Ethel Cutler, head of the
bureau.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 2O.--Arch Bishop
Socrates, A. e. 0'Neil, d. D., presi-
dent of the God Charitable Interna-
tional Ethiopian Free Industrial
School, South Weldon, N. c., lectured
to large audience.
= Speaking of the social unrest among
the Colored race of this country, he
said: "The Colored man is making
a big mistake in craving social
equality with a race of higher plane.
Certain Negro writers and theories
are filling our people with radical
teachings. If the preachers Of these
doctrines of equality, who prey upon
the mind of the ignorant, realized
they are like African fanatics, super
stitutious, parasitic, in trying to dom
mate the white race, they would
stop their clamor for social recogni-
ton with the white people. You must
harmonic with the white man, at
tend to your own affairs and never
attempt to go outside of your own
sphere, and in that way you will
get peace and contentment."
