Moorefield Storey, national presi-

the Advancement Of Colored People,
is one of committee of graduates
of Harvard University who have writ
ten condemning the new Jim-C
policy there and demanding that seq
rcgation be discontinued even though
it means loss of Southern white
students. A. Lawrence Lowell, pres
ident Of Harvard, is blamed for the
Jim-Crow policy. The committees
letter Of protest says in part:
ave believe that the university
owes the Southern man the best pos
sible opportunity for education, but
we do not owe him the surrender of
our Northern ideas of democracy and
our Harvard ideals of justice. We
do not believe that the Southerncrs
who come to Cambridge for their ed
ucation expect Harvard to give up
her traditions"
"rhc founders Of the university"
the statement continues, "cXplicitiy
contcmplatcs the inclusion Of colored,
i. G., Indian, students in its classes
and buildings. The charter of 1860,
still in force, refers to that intention.
The present policy of exclusion
means that the college is taking sides
with those who would increase rather
than lesson the burdens of the col
orcd race. 1t is a jim Crow policy.
The Alma Mater of Charming, of
John Quincy Adams, of Sumner and
of Robert Gould Shaw, of the 54th
Massachusetts Infantry, should not
abandon the tradition of Harvard lib
eralism, tolerance and justice"

(Prcston News Service !

Little Rock, Ark, June 17.-In ono

this State i'll years jefferson Black
presumably white, contcndcd that his
children were entitled to all the
rights and emoluments of the Consti-
tuition of the United States and
therefore, should enjoy the privileges
ond opportunities guaranteed to
Am orican whites, but the Montgom-
cry County Court snid "No.T Black
carried the case to the tSate Supreme
Court, which upheld the decision of
the lower court.
"A person with the slightest trace
of Negro blood is a Negro, regard
less of how closely he resembles a
Caucasian" SO declared the courts of
Arkansas. The above decision was
handed down by the Arkansas Su-
preme Court last Tuesday in affirm
ing the decision of the Montgomery
County Court. The lower court had
issued an order excluding the chill
dren Of Jefferson Black from attend
ance at one of the white schools on
the ground that they were Negroes.
The case came before the trial court
on Blacks petition when the directors
of the school district declared the
children to be Negroes and ordered
them taken to another school.
Evidence filed by the directors was
to the effect that the great-grand-
mother of the children had. been a
Negro slave. Black, however, declared
that the children had a faint strain
of Cherokee Indian blood in their
veins, and in his petition stated that
petitioners children, in appearance
show no sign of Negro blood, and
Judged from their appearance alone
would pass for persons of pure eau
casian blood" In Mr.. Blacks tran
script of appeal, filed in the Supreme
Coprt, appeared pictures of the chill
dren.
In affirming the finding of the low
or court that the children were Ne
groes and the school directors were
justified in excluding them from the
school, the Supreme Court, comment
ing on the laws Interpreting what
constitutes person of Negro blood,
Said: "The. language is broad, and
has no relation to the degree Of

ISEATp RA1,E AMONG NEGROES
FALLING.
fPreston News Service.)

New York City, June ia remark
able decline in the mortality of Negro
es has taken place in the last ten years
according to the records Of the Metro
bolitan Insurance Company. This
Company has more than 1,600,0O poll.
CIV holders throughout the entire Unit
} ed States. In 1911 the death rate WITS
17:5 per 900 and in 1921 It decreased
to 1872 per 1,000-a drop Of 25 per
cent. There would have been 1000
deaths among Negro policy!holdcrs
than actually occurred in 1921, II the
1911 death rate had prevailed in that
year.
According to the Statistical Bulletin
This marked decline, on analysis,
scan he traced to improvements in the
death;rates from tuberculosis. pneL
monia; heart disease; Bright's disease
malaria: typhoid fever; and pellagra.
""Fhe improvement in the mortaiil.'
OF Negroes is not localized So far rs
the experience Of the Metropolitan IN
dicates 1t represents It very Droan
, movement affecting virtually all areas.
Scarcely a state but shows a decided
decline.
GAS late az 1916 there were sc local
areas where the COmpany's colOred
business showed mortality rates above
y 17.5 per 1000. The record for 1921
shows only 10 such localities. In 1916
there were 30 centers with rates in eX
cess OF 100 per 1000. In 1881 no suca
Z rate was experienced anywhere. 1t is
noteworthy that the public health
movement which has been so success
full with reference to the white peopA;
is also making its impress upon tlR5
colored. The Negro deathtrate howeWN
lis still so high as to show glaring deF7'
3cencies in the health provisions for
these people. Tho facts for the last ten
years show clearly that the death-rates
OF this race can readily DO improved.
There is all the more necessity for in
tensification Of the services specially
applicable to these people, In this con
nection much is promised by the ap-
parent desire Of the insurance compa-
mics administered by Negroes themseiv
3 CD to lead in the development Of public
health work and welfare services
among their own people"
