United States Commissioner of
Education gives his Views on
Negro Education.
COUNTRY AFFECTED BY
EDUCATIONAL NEGLECT
Immaterial Benefits Scarcely can
be Estimated as to the Value
of the COlOred Man.
Associated Negro Press)

Washington, d. c., March %
That the material and moral inter-
ests of the whole country are involv-
ed in the question of Negro education
is the substance of an interview given
out by DR.. John J. Tigert, United
States Commissioner of Education,
on his return from a recent confer
ence in Nashville with the heads or
the 28 State and Federal Land Grant
Colleges for Negroes. The fact that
DR.. Tigert is native of Tennessee
and has always lived in the South
adds significance to his statement,
which follows in full:
1.-The neglect Of Negro education
has resulted in an immeasurable loss
to the country. 1t has not only at
fected the material prosperity, especi-
ally of the South, where the Negro
population is greatest, but has like
wise affected the standard Of living
and the character of citizenship, and
has injured the morals of our people.
If we had long ago made provision
for the technical education of our
Negro population, the increase in the
value of our products, both agricul-
tural and manufacturing would have
been intellectually great. The
;n%o,o;h,a ,p1 ;pop, q tarial hon off G
which would have accrued can
scarcely be estimated, nor can we
form any estimate of what would
have been the effect upon the Negro
himself by way of encouragement,
arousing ambition and increasing his
value as a citizen"

there will be on the bench one
colored man, in the person of S. E.

cessors that were colored. These

first colored man to serve on grand
jury in Minnesota; J. C. Bell, and
JOHN @. Adams. All these men

A. Celebrates Fourth
Birthday Anniversary
COlOred Press Bureau Maintains
Splendid Service over Period
of Four Years Without
Break.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 23-March 21,
was the beginning Of the Fourth
year of the establishment of the AS
sociated Negro Press. During the
entire period the service has been
issued without a break, and has
grown from serving a mere handful
of newspapers to a membership Of
more than 100 throughout the Uni
ted States.
The establishment of the Associ-
ated Negro Press, with Executive Of
ficers in Chicago, was the first effort
of racial journalism to furnish regu-
larly general news affecting Colored
people. There had been news bur-
eaus, news agencies and national cor
respondents who dealt with local hap
penings, but it remained for A. N.
P. to be the first to endeavor to as
semble and distribute news from all
sections of America and other coun-
tries.
The success of the effort in an edu-
cational way, is difficult to estimate.
Prior to A. N. p, editors were COM
PEELED to get their news "catch as
catch can" 1t was not only impossi-
BILE to get unified news, of a reliable
source, but a big news story seldom
appeared in all the newspapers stimuli
taneously. AMP has greatly helped
this situation.
One Of the most notable iilustra-
tions in the history Of the race for
unified news and action, was with
reference to the recent national mem
orial services for Colonel Charles
Young, sponsored by the Associated
Negro Press. It marked q new era
in national achievement, and paved
the way for other efforts.

Citizens Severely Criticize Gov.
ernor's Attitude Taken In
Case.

Nashville, Tenn, Mar. 24-Maur-
ice Mays was electrocuted here last
Wednesday. The fight to save the
life of Mays who was charged with
a murder which was the contributing
cause of the Knoxville riot in 1918
has attracted the attention of the en-
tire country. Mays gave up all hopes
of clemency by the governor in whose
hands his fate rested after General
James A. Fowler and friends came
to him on Tuesday night and in
formed him all efforts had failed.
II am as innocent as the sun that
shines" said Mays. He also denounced
the governor, saying, Il would not
be going to my death today If the
man who sits in the governors chair
had any backbone"
Governor Taylor had received petit
tions from every section of the coun-
try appealing to him in behalf of the
condemned man, but he refused to
interfere. The Governor in Decem-
Der granted a 90 days stay. Mays
charged his apathy was due to the
fact that a campaign for reelection
was ,on.
The young man was convicted of
entering the home of three white wo-
men at night for the purpose of rob-
berry and shooting one of them. A
mob formed with the intention of
lynching him, but the sheriff had re-
moved him to Knoxville. The mob
proceeded to wreck the Jail, liberate
80 or 40 prisoners, taking 800 gal
Ions of liquor and breaking in many
hardware stores, stealing pistols and
other valuables. State troops were
called out and in the resulting con-
fiicts several people both colored and
white were killed. The case of Mays
has been fought thru all the courts
of the state and public sentiment a
mong a great many of both races is
that the youth was victim of cir
cumstances.

Newspapers will be perfect in this
respect when the time arrives that
editors and reporters will not have to
go to the public to get the news
The facts in news items are dug out
Of people who are supposed to know
them. When they appear in the pa
per, and are found to be untrue OF
misleading, it is practically always
the fault Of the person or persons
to whom the reporter or editor went
for his facts. This is particularly the
case when you find inaccuracies in
country newspapers.
And it isn't to be wondered at when
it is remembered that, if you are a
Judge, you cannot get the same story
OF an event twice from half dozen
eye-witnesses all under cath. When
not one person out of a dozen will
correctly repeat remark made in the
