PLANS NOT UNDERSTOOD
School Board Does Not Propose to I'm.
large Quincy School.

White residents IN the ncighborhood
of the Quincy school who are protest.
ing bitterly against the erection Of a
junior high school for negroes at the
Quincy school, evidently misunder-
stands the plans Of the school board.
Paul Scholz, business manager, said
Monday morning. The school board has
never planned to inaugurate junior
high school in the Quincy neishborhood,
Mr.. Scholz explained, although the i'm
preston has gotten out that such was
the intention.
The Quincy school, an elementary
school for negroes, is now in white
residential. section, and the residents
are naturally opposed to any enlarge
ment of that school. II was the origin
al plan Of the school board to move
the Quincy school 10 a site to be pur-
chased farther east so that the school
would be entirely in the negro section.
The old Quincy school building was to
have been remodeled and converted into
school for white children, Mr.. Scholz
said. Lack of funds, however, will pre-
vent the carrying out of this plan for
the present. In the meantime, there is
no enlargement program contemplated
for the Quincy school.
There is no need for q negro junior
high school at present on the east side,
il was asserted at the school board Of
flee. The Douglas High School, which
cares for the seventh grade up through
the high school grades, answers the pur-
pose Of junior high school.
To serve the negroes on the west side,
Grant school for negroes, according to
the present plans, will be remodeled
and converted into junior high school;
The present program of the school
board does not provide for the erection
Of a new building for a junior high
school for negroes.

GARNER DECLINES
TO SEEK TO BE
FLOOR LEADER
Texan Says Interest of Party
Causes Deci-
sion.
Washington. ID

Washington, ID. C., Jan. 1.-THE
way was paved for continuation of the
present Democratic leadership of the
House in the next Congress by an
nouncement by Representative John y.
Garner of Texas, that he would not be
candidate for minority leader.
During the long absence Of Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
Representative Finis ]. Garrett of Ten
nessee, has been acting as Democratic
leader by designation of his party. As
ranking member of the Ways. and
Means Committee, by virtue of the i'll
ness OF Mr.. kitchin, Mr.. Garner often
has been mentioned as n possible can
didate for party head. but in a formal
statement he declared that in the in
terest of the party, he would not seek
the honor.
If Mr.. Kitchin should decline in the
next Congress to seek the leadership,
Democrats say Mr.. Garrett would be
named without opposition to head the
Democratic forces on the Ways and
Means Committee. which, after March
4, will have a much larger Democratic
representation.
IF the Democratic party is 20 be
useful in the Sixty-eighth Congress"
Mr.. Gamers formal statement read,
ut must be united and able 10 regis
ter its full strength. Anything that
contributes to party division, and | am
not willing. even remotely, TO contribute
to such division. Therefore, in the
interest of party harmony, l do not
expect to become a candidate fo~ the
minority floor leadership Of the House
in the Sixty-eighth Congress.
Il have ever tried, and especially in
the Sixty-seventh Congress, to bring
about soliditary of the Democratic or
ganization in the House. Having con-
tributed what l could in that direc-
ton, l feel very kecnly the Importance
of being in position to continue that
work. / appreciate fully the confidence
and loyalty manifested by my friends
in urging my selection rs minority floor
leader in the next Congress, but be-
lieve l am acting for the best interest
OF the party in declining to enter any
contest for the floor leadership.
such action will also relieve my
friends as well as myself Of any PER-
sonal embarrassment that might be in
volved in making a choice between
Democrats. My present position en-
ables me to render some service TO the
country. and | feel the present situa-
| ton dictates that l serve the party and
the country regardless Of personal pref
erment."

by the All-Russian central executive
committee Sunday night in the form OF
a message addressed to "all the peoples
OF the world" IL sharply protests
against the action Of France and her
Allies and calls attention TO its belief

Declaring that the army Of irnper-
alistie France, has invaded the indus

asserts:
"In this critical moment labor and
peasant Russia cannot remain silent -
II charges that France has gone even
beyond shameful Versailles" and that
England, Italy and Japan By washing
their hands, or only feebly protesting,
are equally guilty of breaking the SOW
ereignty Of the German people and
trampling upon their rights Of self
determination. Terrible poverty and
sufferings threaten the. laboring classes
in Gedmany," it concludes "all Europe
is threatened with growing economic
disorder. Russia warns the peoples of
the world of the terrible danger that
menaces peace. Your fate is in your

lectures Of the life Of Christ delivered

was, "The Land and the People" This
lecture set forth the world as il was
during Christ's time and answered the
question ms 10 whether Christ was a
product Of the land and time in which
he lived. The question will be treated
in the series Of succeeding lectures.
In his lecture, Rev. Mr.. Mcclellan
dealt with the nature of the country
In which Jesus was born, its customs,
trade, climate, geographical conditions
and religious customs. He spoke of
the influence the land had upon the
character OF the people and the fact
that the Jews never lost their individ-
uality, though their barriers were fire.
auently passed by invading peoples.
Parts OF the lecture follow:
when Christ was born among these
people. Palestine was divided into four
divisions. The northern section was
Galilee, the eastern was Perea. the
southern was Judea and the central
was Samaria. Gelilee was the richest
and most varied section of Palestine.
1t was a land Of splendid mountains
and fertile plains. The people of the
section were mostly Jews. They were
farmers. shepherds, fishermen, physi-
clans, lawyers. traders and scholars.

New York, Jan. 15.-Traders on the
stock exchange were more interested
In conditions within the market itself
today than they were in the outside
news.
The market ran into active selling,
following generally strong opening.
The contention was that the campaign
for higher prices had ben carried far
enough and that reaction was over
due. II was on this theory that the
speculative following acted.
Announcement after the close OF
