RACE EDUCATION
CAMPAIGN BEGUN
BY PRES. CHURCH
Greater Efforts Will Be FOrmu.
lated in General Assembly
at Grand Rapids.

1t is understood that determined
effort to have the Presbyterian
Church of America take a larger and
more effective interest in that phase
of the body's work which concerns
Negroes, is to be made at the 136th
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church Which is to be held in Grand
Rapids, Mich.
Leaders in the church point to the
early active work of Presbyterians
toward the emancipated slaes and
point with some degree of pride to
what the church of that day of later
years did. They now observe, how
ever, a tendency to switch the main
interest of the church's work to for
eign missionary fields, to the detri-
ment of domestic work that might be
taken up with much advantage.
OF the AZ synods and 299 Presby-
teries of the church in America, 4
synods and 16 Presbyteries, with SO
churches, constitute the Negro con-
stituency of the church. The church
has among Negroes 1877 day schools
with three outstanding colleges, 476
teachers and $4,000 pupils.
1t is claimed, however, that con-
tributionS and appropriations have
been greatly reduced, despite the fact
that the need is increasingly great.
The emphasis in the church work is
placed on that among the Italians.
Czecho-Slovaks, Poles, Jews, Ruthe-
mans, Russians and so forth.
New work, leaders in the church
are saying, for the Negro should be
undertaken and fostered in large
centers. New York City, 1t is point
ed out, with upward of 100000 Ne
groes in the Harlem district, has only
two churches, with other large Gen.
ters where there is no work being
carried on.

OF SHOE FACTORY
ARE MAKING GOOD
System Inaugurated in February
by Eastern Concern Shows
Splendid Record.
Dale and University

A successful attempt to widen its
employment opportunities for colored
men and women has just been
brought to attention by the Muskin
Shoe Company of this city.
On February 9 of this year this
company organized a division In
which it was planned that all pro-
cesses of shoe making would be car
ried out by colored employees. Mr..
Frank Jarker, 1909 Harlem avenue.
who had gained a working knowl-
edge of the shoe manufacturing
trade i'm factories in Canada, was
made manager of this department.
Although all of the men and wom-
en- taken into the plant had to be
trained by Mr.. Parker, the success
of this department has been such
that the company is making an ad-
dition to its building to take care of
this division. When this addition is
complete colored people will have an
opportunity to engage in every opera
ton in shoe making from cutting to
finishing.
Work Pays Well.
Since work in shoe factories Is
generally piece work, colored en-
pIoyes will have the same wage
scale as other workers. Some Of the
girls now in the plant are making
SIS weekly, and some of the men are
expected to develop their pay to $12
per day. Mr.. Parker told reporter
that he could use number of both
men and women in this department
but what is wanted are steady mer
and women who want permanent en-
ployment.

LIVING TOO FAST,
REV. MARTIN SAYS
Tells Optimists Different
Sort of Education is
Vital to Nation.
CLUB TAKES VACATION

The old standards of education,
which helped to build up America are
fast being lost in the rapid whirl in
which we are living today, the Rev. E.
Burns Martin, pastor of the Park
Avenue M. E. church told members of
the Optimist club as it met at
the Elks club today for its last ses-
sion before beginning a two months
summer vacation.
The "Three R's"-reading 'riting
and 'rithmatic, are today being sur
planted by rush, restlessness and
realism. Reverence, righteousness and
responsibility, he said, should be used
to bring back to America the true
prospective.
In commenting on the present condi-
tions he said: "We are travelling too
much on wheels today. Everyone is
watching the speedometer, and there
seems to be a competition as to which
can turn the dial over further. Thus
the rush. As to the present restless
ness, it can be clearly seen in the i'm
dustrial field with it's strikes and
agitation. If men work 10 hours they
feel that they should only work 8;
while if they draw 80 cents an hour,
they want rs cents. If there is law,
they want to break it just because it
is mandatory for them to obey.
Too Much Realism.
"The present trend toward realism
is all right in its place, but this
tendency today has degenerated until
1t simply means that people are look
ing at the seemy side of everything.
A large per cent of the present day
novels simply reek with sensua1ism.
There are plenty of shortcomings, but
why limit our conversation, our
thought and time to considering them.
Research is another thing which
must be taken sparingly, remembering
meanwhile that it portends of danger.
do not mean that man should take
his religion at a gulp with gullibility,
as it were. But in our present day re-
search we should remember the small
boy who after doing research" work
on his Christmas toys finds out what
makes the wheels go around, but can't
get the toys back together again.
! Reverence would be an antidote
for much of the present day troubles.
We should be able to pause and re-
member that there is a great God
which shapes out destinies. Righte-
BUSINESS exhalts a nation. We must
have righteous men at the head of
things, whether they be Republicans
or Democrats, for in the last analysis
it is the men for whom the people
vote rather than the presidents. Re-
sponsilibity should be taught to chill
dren from their infancy. They should
learn that they are responsible for
their action, and their influence"
Members of the club were invited
to visit the Boy Scout camp during
the summer months, by David 0. R.
Fogwell, scout executive. Miss Sybil
/ Campbell, county probation officer, in
letter read to the club, expressed her
appreciation of the work which has
been done for the boys who have come
under the Optimist clubs ministra-
tions!

most turbulent one. The boat put in
to the Kenosha harbor on Tuesday
night bringing cargo Of coal for a
local dealer.
Investigations made at the dock
here today revealed that the entire
crew had gone on spree while in Ke-
nosha. One member Of the crew had
become so intoxicated that he fell in
to the harbor while attempting to
climb aboard the ship and had been
saved only by the quick work of the
dock crew. 1t was declared that the
old captain had also participated in
some of the drinking and had been the
center of a ship squabble which oc-

leric mood, discharged his own son,
one of the members of the crew. and
also the cook, who had been with him
for more than twenty years.
Then the ship put out to the lake
bound for Milwaukee.
Captain Is Found Dead.
The captain, it is said, had gone in
to his cabin to sleep. Five hours cut
the wheelman went into the cabin and
found Captain Steffenson dead; he
had died in his sleep, probably from
an attack Of heart failure.
Captain Steffenson was well-known
among the dock hands Of Kenosha as
the Redfern, which he had commanded
for several years, had regularly
brought cargoes to this port. His
visit here last week was, however, the
first time that. he had put into this
harbor for more than year.

HAD DEATH PREMoNITIoN.

Mrs. Julia Newcomer, one of the
Chicago women who was trapped In
the coupe which was submerged in
the Fox river when it went off the
approach at the west end of the
New Munster bridge, and the one
whose body is still somewhere in
the swollen waters of thee river,
had a premonition of her death &C
cording to the reports brought to
Kenosha by her husband, Jack
Newcomer, who reached Kenosha
Saturday to help in the search for
his wife's body.
Just before starting on the trip
which was ended by the tragedy,
, Mrs. Newcomer had telephoned to
her husband in Chicago, this being
the third time during the after
noon she had called to say good
bye.
Goodbye, DEAR" she said to her
husband. 81 just wanted to talk to
you again. You know something
might happen. I've written you
letter that you'll find on the desk"
The letter was just a farewell
letter, but it bore out the belief
that Mrs. Newcomer had a premo-
milton that she might meet with a
mishap on the trip.
