Battles had gono 70 the brigham

the weather was mild on Wednesday
the fire in tho furnace was allowed to
get low. In tho afternoon Mrs. Bling
ham asked Battles to go 10 the cellar
and put some coal IN tho furnace, as
she was afraid her three little chill
dTen upstairs would get chilled.
In going down tho stairs, Battles
said in his confession. he stumbled
and clattered heavily down three OF
four steps 10 the cellar tiOor. Alarmed
AT the sound, Mrs. Brigham called
from the top Of the stairs to know
II he was hurt. lie did not reply and
she hurried down into the gloom. az
she thought on an errand of mercy,
When she came within reach he
seized her by the throat. He said he

HOWARD UNIVERSITY TO GIVE
COURSES IN NEGRO HISTORY.
lcontInuod Irom Page onel

This course is Il continuation OF
History IL. II aims to give general
acquaintance with the Negro civili-
zations in the Egyptian Sudan and
Abyssinia from the Ethonian conquest
OF Egypt in the eight century r. c.,
until the coming of Western Euro
pean influence in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Special atten-
ton will be given to the origin and
development of the distinctive fea-
lures of the Civilizations OF these
countries before the coming OF chris
tianity. and the effect Of Christianity.
and islam respectively upon their
subsequent history -
History IA: Negro Civilizations in
West Central Africa from A. d. 1000
to the End Of the Eighteenth Century.
This course win be survey of
the politician and cultural conditions
in the three great Negro states Of
the Western Sudan TIE Kingdom of
Ghana. The MelIestine. and The Song
nay Empire from about the year
1000 A. d. until the end of the
eighteenth century. Special Attentions

OF Africa. In addition. the cultural
status of the Negro Peoples OF
these countries during this period
will be critically compared with that
of their contemporaries in the Teu-
tonic countries OF Europe.
AS a result of archaeological dis
coveries and chronological studies in
various parts Of the world and es-
pecially in Africa there is coming
about remarkable change of opinion
in many circles regarding the part
played by Negro Peoples in the great
civilizations OF the past. From year
to car evidence continues to accumu-
late which seems to show that the
earliest cultures and civilizations Of
Egypt Southern Europe and Western
Asia were to great extent the pro-
ducts Of Negro and Negroid peoples.
In addition to this it now seems Ger
tain. as has been intimated in the
courses outlined, that until conipara-
lively recent times the Negro Peoples
OF Central Africa maintained civili-
cations of their own which may be
favorable compared with some Of
the better known civilizations Of
The world, and especially so with
the cultures of their contempt sries
in England and Germany
SO far rs 1t has been possible to
ascertain there are but yer few
schools in America or the world that
are making at present time any noti-
ceable effort to disseminate facts OF
this nature. Tits may be due in part
to the inertia resulting from the trad
itional feeling as to the inexpediency
Of popularizing such information but
there is no doubt that the difficulty
Of access to adequate 7ource materials
and the lack Of trained teachers for
such studies are also largely respon
sible for this condition The authors
ties of Howard University, in keeping
with their determination to make the
institution an agency for genuine
social good, have under Amusement
plans for looking toward to the elm
nation of these difficulties in the
near future: the effort outlined above
being brlt the initial step in this
direction II is believed that in fOs-
tering program of this kind the
University can do much to clear up
many cf the misconceptions about
Negro peoples of the world well by
facilitating understanding and mutual
respect among black men and white
thcrehy preparing the way for
closer national unity and a wider and
more genuine international good will.

CIVIC
Organization is TIC new Watchword
of Colored America. Organization has
always been an important factor in the
life Of the people, but it is becoming
more and more practical, efficient and
systematic; it is working with vision
and understanding. Organization Is a
master enemy of prejudice, and forgets
its way to just recognition. Various
bodies that have for number OF years
lett their impress on the life of the
people continue to serve their needs
and afford inspiration to guide their
ways. These organizations, civic, pro-
fessional, fraternal, cooperative and
national, are working more and more in
