the faculty and students that the loss
although staggering, wa not altogether
discouraging and that steps would be
taken to Immediately rebuild and take
care of the situation. Miss Halle ..
Brown spoke touchingly of the passing
of Shorter Hall, which meant so much
in the hopes and aspirations OF men
and women scattered throughout the
world. Chaplain Stewart offered the
first one hundred dollars toward the
rebuilding of the edihce, and he was
quickly followed by a promise of five
hundred dollars from Bishop Jones, a
hundred dollars each from President
Gregg and Dean Jones, and Miss Hal
lie o. Brown who went to England
and secured over fifteen thousand dol
lars on Emery Hall. promised to raise
one thousand dollars toward the fund.
All members of the faculty have
pledged their support toward the fund.
A very vigorous campaign for funds
will be started, and although a goal
has not been determined. President
Gregg estimates that at least two hun
dred thousand dollars will have to
be raised at once. The friends OF the
community have very kindly helped
in housing the boys, but this gives only |
temporary relief, and President Gregg /
calls upon the Alumni and friends OF
Wherefore and those who are inter
ested in the development OF Negro |
youth, to send in gifts for the purpose
of raising the funds required. Now
is the time, if ever, that the public has
the opportunity to give aid to worthy
cause Contributions in any amount
will be gladly accepted and receipted by
c. c. Jenkins, and the
money set aside or this special fund.
The building must be started at once
in order to be ready for occupancy
by the opening OF school for the next
scholastic year in October.
How strange that just little over
4 week before the bell which had been
falling students for over fifty years,

white race which now inhabits Amer

There is nothing to prevent their
overthrow by other races. Americas

My dear Mr.. Taylor:

My dear Mr.. Taylor:
In compliance with your request
the following are a few facts tha
have prompted me to introduce bill
in the State Legislature providing fol
the care in the State of Illinois of :
mother while child-bearing, and fol-
the medical care of the mother and
child for one year afterwards:
In Chicago, out of every 1000
babies born, 100 die in the first year
The birth estimates for 1920 show
200 children born.
In Illinois the death rate of women
on account OF childbirth and of chill
dren in the first year, exceeds 1900
a year. With proper hygiene during
pregnancy and skilled care, at least
fifty per cent of these lives could
have been saved.
During the last war the death rate
OF children in the United States ex-
cecded the mortality OF soldiers in the
trenches. The deaths of these chill
dren, due to poverty and ignorance
were for the most part preventable.
A large number of children who
are not born blind become blind
lack of proper attention at
birth. 1t is stated with good author
ity that one-hfth of all blindness is
due to ophthalmia neonatorum, and
that one-fourth of the people in blind
asylums are blind because OF this in
lection. Next to atrophy of the OPP
tic nerve it is the most frequent cause
If blindness, and can in most IN
stances be prevented by proper at
IGNITION to the child at birth.
Worthy people, through no fault of
heir own, frequently find that the
.arning capacity of the family only
permits bare existence, so when a
hid is born into such a family they /
must go hopelessly into debt, or else /
leclare themselves paupers in order
o get proper medical care for the
mother and child.
In 1917 and again in 1919 the writer
introduced a bill providing for the
are in the State of Illinois of a
mother while child-bearing, and for
he medical care of the mother and
hid for one year afterwards. In
ach instance the bill passed the Sen
te, but failed in the House.
In 1921 the bill was amended so
5 to provide only for the City of
,hicago, with a referendum attached.

hildren as aforesaid, in Chicago was
