ana Health, at a salary of $500 a
DR.. B. P. Hurst has been teaching
these subjects and made q special
study OF them under Prof. Rosenau
at Harvard University. Many Of the
faculty feel that the position should
nave gone to man that has special
lzed in those subjects since they are
more technical than medical It is
clalmed that Dr. Jackson has been n
surgeon and therefore cannot be as
enclent In the subject of Hygiene as
one that has specialized in that line.
therefore, twenty-elght members OF

are holding a pan-Negro congress
here. have decided not to support the
programme of Marcus Garvey, pro
visional President of Africa" and
other American Negroes for the es-
tablishment of BLACK republic" in
Africa.
Instead of sacrificing present ma
tionalities, the Congress insists the
Negroes must endeavor to take great
er advantage of their Opportunities
under prevailing conditions. The body
is firm against efforts of the Negro
extremists to ally themselves with the
Russian Bolshevllxi.
Senator Aubert summed up the at
titude of the congress when he de-
clared: Rather than return to Africa
and remain Negro 1 prefer to re-
main a Frenchman." Garvey's "Afri-
ca for Africans" scheme was side
tracked by a suggestion that the
League of Nations be asked to remove
the color line in all member states.
