COLoRED WOMAN TURNED
DOWN AS STUDENT BE-
CAUSE OF HER RACE

New York.-A committee of eight
American architects, painters, and
sculptors with full authority to pass
on applications of American students
for entrance to the Fontainebleau
School Of the Fine Arts in France,
has turned down one applicant because
she is of the Negro race. They be-
lieve her trip to France and her pres
ence in the school would be disagree
able to some white students and en-
barrassing to her.
The name of the colored art student
is Miss Augusta Savage and she ar
rived in New York City several years
ago from small town in Florida.
She has the great distinction of be-
ing the first person of the colored race
to apply for admission. The necessary
money for her trip was raised by
friends. She has returned it to them.
The above incident amply proves
that the vast majority of the American
people-those who claim to be highly
educated are still under that dead or
dreaded spell of short-sighted race
prejudice-that they are very appre-
hensive that the colored students if
admitted into the higher educational
institutions will outstrip or outshine
the white students attending those
same educational colleges.-Editor.

COLOR WAR IN LONDON

"A troop Of American Negro musical
comedy artists, has been employed a
a feature at the re-opening Of Lon
don's famous old Music Hall, The
Empire. Another manager has just
engaged band Of Negro entertainers
for a Revue boon to open here These
two items have started theatrical
war which has become so acute that
a cabaret in which Negroes were to
appear has indefinitely postponed its
opening.
The objection comes from the critics
and from the English theatrical pro-
fession. It has been based, in part,
on a dislike Of alien invasion Of all
kinds, but the color issue has been
injected in several issues. Some Of the
critics go so far as to request the
Minister Of Labor to prevent any fur
ther encouragement of colored theat-
real men by prohibiting their entry
into the country.

NEGRO FARMERS QUIT SOUTH
FOR WAGES OF NORTH

Washington, D. CA general
movement Of southern Negro farmers
to northern industrial centers where
high wages are obtainable is indicated
in special survey Of farming districts
in the south made BY the department
of agriculture.
Improbable cotton growing, due to
boil weevil conditions, unrest among
returned Negro troops who expert
enced more attractive living conditions
away from farms during and after the
war, and breakdown Of the contract
labor system are cited in the report
as causes Of the migration.
Approximately Is per cent or $1,000

hands in Georgia is estimated to have
moved north during the last twelve

ECONOMY PLAYS IMPORTANT PART
IN PHENOMENAL. PROGRESS OF
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. PRINCE
PALS ANNUAL REPORT TO
TRUSTEES SHOWS CONTINUED
PROGRESS.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Economy
in expending funds and continued
progress in every department were
the outstanding features of DR.. Robert
R. Motions Annual Report for the
year 1o21-1922, to the Board Of
Trustees Of the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute. This report has
been printed in pamphlet form for dis
tribution.
One of the most significant features
Of the report is the growing interest
on the part Of colored people them
selves in supporting the work of Tus-
kegee Institute, as is indicated by the
contributions received from them.
During the past year more than $75,-
600 in cash and pledges were received
from Negroes towards the Loyalty
Fund Campaign, which was launched
in 1921. Further evidence of this
growing interest is shown in the num-
Der of bequests from Negroes.
High Lights of Report
Few things indicate more clearly
the continued need and influence Of
the Tuskegee Institute than the in
creasing number of people who re-
ceive instruction at the Institute. Dur
ing the past year, according to Princi-
pal Moton's report, 3,26l persons re-
ceived instruction at Tuskegee. Twice
as many applied but had TO be turned
away on account of the lack of neces-
sary facilities and accommodations.
This number includes more than 1000
students, and 800 teachers who at
tended the Summer School for Teach
ers as well as many others who at
tened for special courses.
Another interesting feature is en-
bodied in the o5 per cent increase in
the enrolment of the Department of
Agriculture, thus demonstrating a re-
alization on the part Of the youth OF
the race OF the practicability Of the
doctrine expounded by the Founder
of the Institute, DIR. Booker T. Wash

Mrs. Bass was born in Fairview,
Ohio and her remains were laid to
rest in the family cemetery lot at
Springfield, Ohio. Her only daughter,
Miss Maxwell, resides in this city and
her only sister, Mrs. Mary Clifford,
resides in Janesvile, Ohio. Aside from

shall prosper in proportion as we learn
to dignity and glorify labor and put
brains and skill into the common oc-
cupations of life"
Concerning this philosophy, which
was the basis Of DIR. Washington's
solution Of the problem confronting
the race, President Harding COM
mented as follows in his telegraphic
greetings on Founders Day, 1922:
Il have long felt that Booker r.
Washington has visioned the right
way to deal with our national prob
lens of races in a manner most likely
to produce the best effects from the
standpoint Of the entire nation and OF
all elements of its people"
Ideals Yet Prevail
THE educational ideals and methods
Of Tuskegee Institute" stated DIR.
Motion in his Annual Report, "are as
real in the life of the place today as
ever and the spirit of the Founder, it
seems, grows in effectiveness and
power with the years
I'VE continue to give much time and
thought to the outside activities Of the
Institute. In every way possible we
are endeavoring still to develop more
friendly relations between the races
here in the South. Nothing that Tus-
kegee Institute, or any other institu-
ton does is more important than the
broadcasting of the message of good
will among men, The use OF every
proper means to make conditions bet
ter in every community in the South
gives to Tuskegee graduates and to
the graduates of other schools, the
opportunity to be Of the largest serv-
ice in these communities through the
understanding and cooperation which
have been made possible in this way.
Tuskegee has had, and still has, a
large opportunity to render this serv-
ice which IS not only necessary but ID
more and more widely appreciated
and welcomed"

text Of the agreement for United

We, the undersigned representatives
of the following organizations: The
African Blood Brotherhood, The
Friends Of Negro Freedom, The In
ternational Uplift League, The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, The National
Equal Rights League, The National
Race Congress, assembled in confer
ence in New York City recently.
Knowing the strength of the forces
opposed to justice and fair play for
Americans Of African descent, realize
that those forces must be met by the
closest cooperation and the most har-
monious relationship possible among
all agencies working for the civil and
citizenship rights Of Negro Americans.
In order to secure the most effective
action and the greatest 4esults, we
must guard against the slightest loss
Of energy from friction and antag-
onism. While each organization should
reserve to itself its full autonomy and
the use Of its own best Judgment as to
the manner of carrying forward its
aims and work, we should not allow
any differences, either Of opinions or
methods, to Blipd Us to the fact that
we are all striving for one great COM
mon goal.
We depIore as harmful and injuri-
Gus to the best common interests any
attitude which implies that loyalty to
any one of these organizations neces-
states antagonism toward any Of the
others, or that membership in one in
any way precludes membership and
