Insurance Head

On Race Health
(By the Associated Negro Pressl

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Kansas City, Mo-. Oct. SC. c..
Spaulding, president of the North
Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
will address the annual conference of
the National Urban league here on
Thursday, October Is. His subject
will be: THE CONTRIBUTION OF
NEGRO LIFE INSURANCE CON-
PANIES TO NEGRO HEALTH" 1t
is expected that Mr.. Spaulding's ad-
dress will attract deep interest and
wide discussion. He has at his dispos-
al statistics collected by his own COM
pany over a period of twenty-five
years, as we'll as an intimate knowl-
edge of what is being done to improve
Negro health by all the Negro COM
panies. The public will doubtless be
surprised as well as greatly enlight
ened to learn what the Life Insur-
ance companies of our own race have
found out about Negro mortality and
what they have and are planning to
do to lessen the hold of disease upon
our people.
Mr.. Spaulding, president Of the
largest Negro Life Insurance Com
pany in the world, and also president
of the National Negro Insurance As
ociation, is particularly fitted to dis
cuss this subject. He built the North
Carolina Mutual with the aid and
counsel of such men as John Merrick,
DR.. A. NJ. Moore, John Avery and a
corps of efficient and loyal agents
and employees. But Spaulding has
done the real work in the perfecting
of the organization. He has been
Office boy, janitor, agent. In fact, he
knows the details of every part of the
work. He has been particular stu
dent of Negro health conditions. The
success of the North Carolina Mutual
has largely been due to his knowl-
edge of health conditions among Ne
groes, which made 1t possible for him
to safeguard mortality losses in his
company. The methods that have
been adopted by the North Carolina
Mutual and their effect upon mortali-
ty results as will be outlined by Mr..
Spaulding will prove to be an inter-
esting and worthwhile addition to
the discussions at the Urban league

commended that steps be taken by the

out that the Ohio State Constitution
requires that in state-aided schools

ers charge that "Wilberforce Univer-

Church." and that 'the university
controls the combined normal and in
dustrial department of the school" !"
although under the law these de-
partments should be managed separ-
ately. Six of the nine members of
