THE PERISCOPE.
Gail Of the Soul.

The call Of the soul is expressed in q
manner that is seldom seen, in short
poem written by Professor Pearson, vice
president of the Georgia State Indus
trial College, and reproduced in recent
issue Of the Southwestern Christian Adj
vocate. The expression is worthy Of
the full page devoted to displaying it
by the Southwestern, and cannot be too
generally read and remembered. Here
it is, with the title:
Voice Of the Negro Soldier.
When return from foreign shade and
shore,
My native land with joy behond once
more,
If 7 have been soldier true and. brave,
Risked limb and life my country dear
to save.
Yea, nations all from autocratic greed
That they be wholly free in state and
creed
While Father, Mother made and con-
served food,
And war bonds bought in loyal, cheer
full mood
l win not ask for houses, favors, praise,
AS we resume the toll and peace of
former days,
But that you lift the cursed racial ban,
Grant me the rights of any other man.

DR., EMMETT J. SCOTT GOES TO
HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

Washington, D. c., June AT the
regular meeting of the board Of trustees
Of Howard University, DR.. Emmett j.
Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute,
Alabama, was elected secretary-treas-
urer of the University. The new official
enters actively upon his duties July l.
During the period Of the war DIR.
Scott has been serving most .capably as
Special Assistant to the Secretary OF
War, advising in matters affecting col
ored troops and civilians, and accom-
plished much good in adjusting the man
fold problems gsowing out OF the rela-
tions of the colored people to the War
Department and the activities designed
to aid the nation to win the great con
flict for liberty and democracy. Through
his tactful handling of countless deli
cate problems and the many satlsfac-
tory results achieved, he has won the
confidence and esteem Of the l2,OoO col
ored Americans he was chosen to repre-
sent.
The selection of DR.. Scott now as the
executive officer of Howard University
is regarded as a most fortunate one IN
all respects, and is viewed with great
enthusiasm by the friends Of the school,
white as we'll as colored. 1t is felt that
the ACQUISITION of DR.. Scott as mem
Ter of the staff of the leading institu-
t;on Of the land for the higher and pro-
fessional training of the Nego brings
to it's support new and powerful infiu-
ence for advancement along both educa-
t;onal and material lines. For nearly
twenty wears DR.. Scott has been the ad-
m;nistratiye force at Tuskegee 1nstl-
tute. and up to the time of the death OF
;+s i11nstrious founder he was DR..
Booker T. Washington s right-hand man
,nd confidential assistant. The ripe ex-
perience and broad acqualntancessh..p
gained by DR.. Scott by reason OF ms
long connection with Tuskegee lnst!,

s+,nd him in good stead in looking after
the heavy responsibilities that will be
