DIRECTORS UNION SCHOOL
DISTRICT TELL OF NEEDS

Continued from first page).
ment of interest on outstanding
warrants, we were enabled to con
tinue the school for the nine
months term. The reduced i'll
come this year has required the in
ficiency of the school, in that it
has had to function with insuf1ic-
lent books and supplies and need
ed repairs, and has, at the same
time by passing along to next
year payment of interest, largely
decreased the funds available for
next years expenses.
Looking back over three years
it is found that there has been
reduction in the taxable valuation
of the district from 81, 231 ,465.00
in 1920 to $743, 5000 in the pres
ent year. The income for the past
year has been $1734.00 less than
for any year in the past five and
the expenditures have been pro-
portionately less.
"In asking for an extra levy.
then, the board is not asking for
more money. Indeed, the aggre-
gate amount of money with the in
clusion Of the 4 mills will be very
much less than the amount raised
on 10 mill tax three years ago.
1t will readily be understood that
if the valuation is lowered it is
necessary to make higher levy
in order to raise the same sum.
"The situation as it exists today
is, then, as follows: 1t is absolute
ly necessary, as well as a matter
of economy, to make a payment on
the warrants and thus reduce in
terest charges. 1t is equally nee
essary to make some repairs to the
building and equipment. And it
would seem even more necessary
to maintain the efficiency of the
school at dts present standard.
"a failure to provide sufficient
income must result in a reduction
of the teaching force; the omission
of some courses now given, either
manual training, domestic science
or commercial work, or part of
all these courses; and a general
failure to maintain the school in an
efficient manner and to the best in
terests of the community.
"The levy of 4 mills raises
$2974.00. About one-half of this
amount will be needed for inter
est and warrant Indebtedness. The
balance, added to the regular levy
of 10 mills, will amount to about
$1S0000 less than the amount rails
ed by 10 mill levy three years
ago.
"To maintain our school on its
present high plane as a four-year
accredited high school, you are
urgently requested to vote for the
4 mill levy.

"P. S.-The question of one
union high school district for
Vashon- Maury island, which has
arisen since the board voted to ask
for this levy, should not be per-
mitted to influence this question.
Whether the union high school
question carries or not the 4 mill
levy is necessary this year.
at is undoubtedly true that the
maintenance of one high school for
the island would be more economi-
cal than maintaining two and that
such high school could be con-
Quoted, after the first year, when
a considerable outlay for equip
ment and re-arrangement would
be necessary, well within the 10
mill limit, perhaps for 9 mills, or
even s.
"It is now certain that this
proposition will not be on the bal
LOT this year.

Howard u Gets
Additional Sum
(From the Survey

An appropriation of 100000 to
construct and equip an addition to
the medical and dental school at
Howard university, the only college
in the country (with one exception)
where colored physicians and dentists
are graduated, will be requested of
Congress at its coming session by
Sect. Work. Recent investigations
show that the colored population of
the nation has increased to nearly
100000 and that there is only one
colored physician to 3,194 persons,
while the white race has physician
to every 553 citizens. The disparity
is even greater in the proportion OF
white and colored dentists. There is
one white dentist to every 2,070
white people in the United States,
while there is but one colored dentist
to every 20,50O colored persons.
Other figures reveal the fact that
only very meager number of colored
doctors and dentists are completing
the course every year at Howard uni
versity, the average number of physi-
clans graduating for the past ten
years being 20, while the number of
dentists averaged %. Responsibility
for the situation is attributed not to
the disinclination of colored youths
to study medicine and dentistry and
adopt them as professions, but to the
deplorable Limitation of the capacity
of colored educational institutions.
During the fall term of Howard uni
versity there were 165 applicants for
admission to its medical school. Out
of this number but so could be ad-
mitted to take the course because of
the inadequacy of laboratory space.

Warns of Long, Cold Northern
Winter Says ''Stay on Sunny
Side of River.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 6.-South-
ern newspapers are taking every op-
portunity to stem the tide of migra-
ton from the South to northern cities
and as notable evidence of the con-
certed effort of whites to keep the
Negroes in the South, the Louisville
Courier-Journal publishes the follow
ing editorial under the captain of
'The Negroes Warned:
'"The city authorities of Cleveland
through the Ohio Superintendent of
Employment, have served notice that
no more work seekers are wanted in
that city. There is already there,
they say, man for every job.
This is directed especially to the
southern Negroes, who for months
have been pouring into Cleveland, as
they have been pouring into other
cities of the North. Cleveland has no
work for them; does not want them
and II they continue to flock here it
will be at their peril. And in this re-
spect Cleveland is not alone among
the cities which have been attracting
the migration of the southern blacks.
ut was different few months ago.
There was scarcity of labor in some
of the manufacturing industries; ad-
yertising campaigns were conducted
in the South; eloquent agents were
sent there to lure the Negroes north
ward. So successful were these eff
forts that whatever labor markets
there may have been across the Ohio
have been glutted.
Cleveland sounds timely warn
ing and the Negroes would do well to
heed 1t. Winter is coming. They
had better stay on the sunny side of
the river, where they have managed
to live heretofore and where at least
they know what to expect"

SKI GIVEN BIC
OVATION IN HIS
new YORK DEBUT
Disposition Unlike That Painted
by Press Reports Coming
From English.
(By J. A. Jackson of the Billboard
for the Associated Negro Press)

(By J. A. Jackson of the Billboard
for the Associated Negro Press)
New York, Oct. GA full house
greeted Battling Sikh in his first ap-
pearance before a colored audience.
The Senegalese French prize fighter,
with Mons. lDeFremont, his manager,
Charles Raymond, and Robert -Dia-
mont, a pair of French fighters, ap-
peared at the Lafayette theater.
They did twenty-five minute turn
at the close of a very excellent vaude-
Vile bill presented at the Lafayette
theater in New York, during the
week of Sept. II. The act differs
from the usual run of prize fight acts
in that no talk, other than that of
the announcer, is INDUCED. This is
probably because that none, save
Diamont, are familiar with the Eng
lish language. After the introduc-
ton which prompted a most cordial
round of applause, the smaller boys
indulge in two rounds of sparring.
This is followed by Sikh with the
two other doing a series of what they
call groundwork athletics" The
uniformity with which they do the
simple exercises makes nice show
stuff of it. Sikh then skips the rope,
swings Indian clubs and punches the
bag, after which he and Becker close
the act with two-round exhibition
that Is well staged.
Press Attack False.
The battler discloses none of the
characteristics that the American
press has attributed to him, nor is he
as unpleasant to look upon as has
been stated. In fact, he might from
manner and demeanor be taken for
any recently arrived southern boy of
more than average intelligence.
Great crowds assembled before the
door of the theater to see the Sene-
galese enter and leave the house, but
he made no bid for popular acclaim
by any of the many stunts with which
he was credited. 1t was also notice
able that on the first night Of the
engagement that the many white re-
porters present were not nearly so in
terested in the physical possibilities
that might be disclosed as to be GER
tain that he was actually there. The
attitude, together with the guarded
injuries some of them as to the
battler's private life, impressed one
that the stories were already mental
ly set up, IL not actually written.
Shows Much Speed.
]. A. Jackson, Billboard stan edi-
tor, introduced Sikh to his audience,
and the simple, yet impressive, man
ner in which Jackson sketched the
kindred ties between all descendants
of Africa, and the credit due this war
hero together with gentle reminder
of the obstacles that confront the Ne
gro of every vocation, did much to
pave the way for the thunderous ac-
claim with which Sikh and his asso-
ciates were greeted.
Sikh, who weighs It's pounds,
seems big compared with the French
men with him, but compared with the
American group of heavyweights ne
does not appear SO formidable, yet In
action he disclosed both speed and
strength, with an apparent reserve OF
stamina and courage that marks him
Of championship class. He and Beck
er exchanged some smart blows and
he seems to mind not at all the sting
some must have administered. There
