COlOred COntraltO
SOlOist Scores with
Philharmonic

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 12.-Marian
Anderson, a 22-year-old colored girl, of
this city, recently scored a heavy hit
as contralto sOloist with the Philar-
monic Society, one of Americas lead
ing orchestras. The young artistic,
who is Mt present studying with Gil
useppe Boghetti, rose to the occasion
of her opportunity and, with musician
ly sensibility and a voice of quality
far above the average, randered a
number of outstanding selections. First
she offered 80 Milo Fernando" from
Donizetti's "Favorita" Then she sang
two Negro spirituals, "My Lord, What
n Mornin'," and "Heav'n, Heav'n." De-
livering the Donizetti air with telling
fervor and dramatic emphasis, she
passed to the more congenial field
of the racial songs in which she was
thoroughly at home. These naive bal
lads she gave in a way that reached
and stirred the hearts of all who heard
her luscious and resonant voice, with
a driving power of art and tempera-
ment behind it. The applause, when
she finished, came like a sudden blast
of gun-fire and continued through so
many recalls that it seemed as If Il
rule must be broken and an encore
granted.

Million and More
For Negro Schools
Atlanta Completing Big
Building Program
$1,2OO,OOO Involved

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 12.-What is be-
lieved to be the most elaborate and
expensive colored public school build
ing program ever undertaken by any
community is now nearing completion
in this city. 1t embraces four magni-
500 to 1000 each, and high school
seating 1,50O, the five erected at
cost to date of S1,200,000, with more
yet to be spent on finishing touches.
These new schools are part of Il
general school building program in
volving u total of $3,S00,000 and are
in every sense equal to the best the
city is erecting, representing the last
work in construction and equipment
In addition to all the usual modern IA
cilities, each is provided also with
medical and dental clinics, where the
pupils have the services of physician,
dentist and nurse.
The high school, which is named for
Booker L. Washington, will carry the
regular academic curriculum and in
addition will provide training in wood
work, carpentry, drawing, auto me-
chanics, sheet metal, plaster and ce-
ment work, tailoring, pressing, sewing,
cooking, child care and teacher train
ing. The purpose is to give to the
pupils an all-round training for life
and fit them for useful and remunera-
tive employment Immediately on grad
uation. A director of vocational guild
ance helps further to this end by per-
sonal conferences, lectures, bulletins
and lantern slides.
The colored schools are sharing fully
in the efforts of the administration to
bring the city's public school system
up to the highest standard of eff
cheney.
Back of this building program is an
Interesting story of inter-racial coop
Grafton, Atlanta having greatly out
grown it's school system, several un-
successful efforts We're made. to vote
a bond issue for new buildings. 1t was
found that the colored voters held the
Dulance Oh power anu Hdu turoMn IL
against the plan.
City officials asked white members
of the local inter-racial committee why
this was so. The latter arranged Il
conference with leading colored citi-
zens and the question was passed to
them. They promptly replied: "Why
should we vote taxes on ourselves when
we have no assurance that we will
get any of the benefits
The rest was easy. An agreement
was readily reached that if they would
help carry the next bond election, their
schools should have approximately
one-third of the proceeds. That agree
ment is now being carried out.

Prosperity Due to
Republican Policies
(Lincoln Service.)

Washington, Jan. 12.-When Henry
Ford, who employs a large number of
colored wage-earners, said: Il am
satisfied that 90 per cent of the peo-
pie feel perfectly safe with Coolidge,
and 1 feel, too, that the country is
perfectly safe with him." he gave ex-
preston to the thought that is in the
! minds of most large employers of Ia
Dor, who are hoping for a continuance
of national prosperity. With mines,
factories and mills running at capac-
| ity production; with labor generally
employed; and with business men pre-
paring to- make extensions that We're
retarded on account of the war, then
appears to be Il settled conviction that
this is no time to rock the political
boat or to try out national economic
theories that have not had the acid
test. If full recovery in industrial
and financial affairs is desired and If
the horrors of unemployment are to
be avoided, the machinery of the gov
ernment must function to the satisfac-
ton of those whose investments of
capital in business enterprises make it
possible for industrial and financial
activity.
| With 81 out of every 1000 colored
males, ten years of age and over,
gainfully employed, and with 3S9 in
each group of 1000 colored females,
ten years of age and over, also gain
fully employed, our economic status
shows a remarkable Improvement, in
all sections of the country, over the
prevailing condition of but few years
i ago. This is reflected in the home
buying activities of the race; in the
organization of banking institutions; !;
in the extensions of our insurance
companies; in the increase in the
number of our retail dealers; in the
purchase and building of churches; in
the mechanical appearance and in
creased circulation of our newspapers !;
and in the exceptionally large number
of students attending the various col
leges and universities all over the
country.
In the recent announcement of his
political attitude, Mr.. Ford said: "Mr.
I Coolidge has shown in these months
of service great many qualities that
should please his countrymen.
think they all feel that Mr.. Coolidge
means to do right. And when man
means to do right, so far as l have
observed, it is usually quite easy for
him to find the way to do right" In
these words Mr.. Ford gave an expert
opinion of remarkably successful
business man, an opinion that should
cause us to think deeply if we hope
for the protection of our citizenship
and our further Advancement in busi-
ness and industry.

prevent it.
At the same time we approve the
action of the United States govern
