With party of ten educators, DR..
x. Il. Motion, principal of Tuskegee
institute and successor to Booker I.
Washington, began an educational
tour of the Tennessee valley, which
will extend through three days, with
speaking engagements at twelve diff
ferent points.
Today addresses were made at
Gurley, Triana, lakewood and the
gtate agricultural and mechanical col
lego at Normal, Ala.
The tour was planned with a view
to stimulating interest in agricul-
tural and educational development
among the colored people and pro-
noting sympathetic and helpful re-
lations between the white and col
ored people in all matters that af-
feet their common interest. The
party was guided by President
Buchanan, of the A. and M. college
at Normal, who planned the tour at
the invitation and suggestion of citi-
zcns of both races. The tour for
Thursday will include stops at SCOTS
boro, Athens and Decatur.

He must also learn from others
who have been successful, how to
agitatc. The Cubans and PHILIPPINES
kept juntas in the capitals of the
civilized nations during their efforts
to rid themselves of Spanish oppres-
sion. The business of the juntas was
to agitate, ard to see to it that the
press of these nations nodded public
sentiment against Spain. So that
when impulsive America decided to
Intervene there were none to take up
the cudgel in favor of Spain.
The successful propagation of anti
Spanish sentiment conducted by the
iuntas did more than all else to put
down Spanish oppression. 1t was "of
the same piece" except it was ac-
eomplished by embassies, that Japan
succeeded in having the sympathy OF
the world when it engaged the giant
Russia in mortal combat. Even those
nations which have cause to fear the
yellow peril took sides with Japan
gave her their unofficial sympathy
Russia still has her troubles; and on
account of successful agitations by
the Jews, she has little sympathy.
But that which is of most interest
to us is the steady and persistent prop
uganda by the South, to Europe and
especially to the Northern states of
our own country. Southern boys are
sent north to do work on newspapers,
nearly every southerner moving
north, cast or west becomes an agi-
tator against the rights of the Negro.
Some southern preachers gladly &C
ccpt calls to northern churches so as
to SOW the DEVILS seed. Ut is but just
to say that some of them are christians,
and are glald to get away from south
crn .intolerance.) But the most eff
fcctual method of persuading the
North that the Negro is demon and
cndangers the "Anglo-SaXon civiliza-
ton" whatever that isl is the use of
lecturers.

of apparatus. such as revolving ran
may be used for artificial ventilation
Again, antiscptics should be freely
used. 1t would be well if the booth

be kept in the booth to be used to

Howard University
News Notes

Washington, District of Columbia
The Trustees of Howard Univ ersity
by formal action last February
1919 decided to eliminate all Sc
condary departments of the Univer-
sity including the Academy and the
Commercial College. 1t was felt at
the time that very serious inroads
would probably be made upon the en-
rollment at the beginning of the year.
October 1919, in view of the radical
action thus taken. The first week S
registration at the University last
year was six hundred fifty-one stu
dents including the College and
secondary departments, i. e., the
Academy and Commercial College.
The registration for the first week of
the school term 1920, including the
students entering the Freshman and
other classes is six hundred seventy
four; in other words the University
enrolment has held its own. The
number of students admitted to the
Freshman class along this year is
three hundred twenty, and greatly
exceeds the registration of the Fresh
man class last year.
The registration of the Howard
University Law School at the begin
ming of the term 191S-19 was forty
eight (4S); the total number reg
istered during the first week of the
present University term is seventy
five 90, with twenty-five (25) to
thirty 800 applications still pend
ing.
In the Howard University Medical
School the registration for the first
week of the present year is one
hundred sixty-five, with six remain
ing days during which Medical stu
dents may register total enroll
ment of nine hundred fourteen t914)
in all departments of the University
during the first week.
This enrolment represents the
largest number of colorcd students
ever enrolled at any institution in
America in purely college and profess
sional courses.
Howard University thus starts out
upon the high mission and assumes
a new leadership in meeting the de-
mand for NATIONAL NEGRO
thus fulfilling her pro-
per duty and mission as a national
institution for the higher and profess
sional education of colored youth.
The opening week is an augury of
the great future ahead of the Uni

Avert Race War

Gary leaders in timely move VISITED
the newspaper Offices and requested
the capitalistic press not to print any
news during the great steel strike
that would inname race hatred. They
visited and addressed the Labor
Council and in manly speech told the
attitude of the race toward labor.
Atty. j. Arthur Davis urged that
black labor would support labor I'M

The conduct of the colored commit

Senator Harding of Ohio fears that
President Wilson is too absorbed with
affairs abroad to give that attention
to affairs here at home that the situa-
ton demands. In discussing the re-
quest of the president for an appro
priation of $1O0.OOO,00O to buy food
for the destitute people of the old
world, and after referring to the
charge of Senator Gore that the pack
ers have $55.OOO,0OO worth of meat
across the water they want to sell to
Uncle Sam, he said: while Presi
dent Wilson is chasing the dreams of
idealism abroad, he has neglected the
practical things here in the United
States" Possibly future develop
ments may prove that Senator Hard
ing has the correct view That the
president lacks in business tact there
is no question. He admitted it in a
speech at the Blackstone hotel in
Chicago soon after his election to the
presidency, and nobody has ever dis
puted him. While the country hopes
Senator Harding is mistaken, there is
growing fear that he maybe right
