Sports


A meeting OF the boys was held
Tuesday after school for the purpose
Of organizing a basket ball team for
this year Each basketball player
will have to furnish his own shoes
and other necessary equipment ex-
cept the suit, which will be furnished
by the school.
Basketball practice will be carried
on in the big red barn near the mill.
This barn is much larger than the
theatre which was used in previous
years, and viii be more convenient
as practice can be carried on ayn
night of the week.
Practice will start i'll few days
as requests for games are coming in.
With the cooperation OF the stuuent
body with the basketball players,
Circle High should put out a good
basketball team.
Last year the team did not make
very good showing. This was due
largely to inexperience of the play
ers and to lack of sufficient room to
carry on practices.
The basketball boosters request
you all to turn out this year to the
games and the team will do all in
their power to show you-a real dem
onstration of the game which is
played in practically all high schools
Colleges and Universities.

Aseop's Fable--he Dodge ant
The Ford

Some of the girls wanted Senator
(Glenn) to take them out riding in
his Dodge, but Glenn was very per-
verse and said that he was occupied.
Just then a gallant young knight
drove up in hts baby Lincoln Tour
ing car and absconded with the fair
ladies. Just then Dale came along
and saw that his hearts desire was
being carried away, and Immediately
persuaded Senator that he was not
over occupied with business, so they
jumped in the Dodge antique and
gave chase. After several thrilling
incidents in which Seatonr realized
that a Dodge needed a special shift
for turning around, our heroes re-
turned home, sadder but wiser
pair. Moral: He who hesitates is
lost.

THE HART FAILURE
Amsterdam News)


The long expected failure of the
A. I. Hart Department Store has ar
rived, brought about directly by the
inability of the firm to pay its bills.
We say long expected because from
the beginning this store for some, or,
possibly. many reasons, did not re-
ceiye a patronage sufficient for 1t to
survive. What are some of these rea-
sons?
To begin with, while the A. 1. Hart
Store was housed in a new building
in the very heart Of the colored sec
tion, it is possible that the rent it
had to pay was too great for 1t to
bear. This alone, however, can only
be one of the contributing causes, for
given the same quarters with the
same rent, there is not the slightest
doubt but that the store could have
been made to pay If 1t had been
owned by white people.
On top Of this, capital invested in
the enterprise came mostly from the
pockets of West Indians and as a
consequence a large number of its
employees were from that group. This
should have nothing whatever to do
with it's success or failure in a Negro
comm unity of 10000, but it did.
There are thousands of American Ne
groes in Harlem who did not go near
the store for this very reason, and
there are thousands of West Indians
who would not have gone near it IL
it had been owned by American Ne
groes. AS a contributory cause to its
failure, this is a calamity, for of all
races of people. the Negro has least
to gain by discriminating within his
own group.
But Of all the reasons which might
be advanced, indifference played the
greatest part. Indifference on the
part of the Negro buying public of
Harlem. Indifference on the part of
its clerks, maybe, to make as many
sales as possible.
There is, however, a sign of prog
ress in the failure Of the firm of A. 1.
Hart q Company, for when the stock
holders were apprised of the appoint
ment of a receiver, and with full
knowledge that the money they had
invested was lost forever, they voted
complete confidence in the founder of
the store and assured him that they
were ready to start all over again.

Life is much more complex and has q
thousandfold more diversions than
decades ago. The economic strain
and chase after the vanfties of life
have about demoralized the home
With these and other reservations In
mind, the truth remains that public
educational methods need a rebirth
of common sense. For instance, ouI
schools in recent years have become
deluged with intelligence tests. Nc
doubt such tests furnish a splendid
hypothesis for the sensible and fair
grading of pupils. Such tests might
serve some purpose in grading teach
ers. These tests are not everything.
Indeed, there are circumstances. and
conditions under which they mean
nothing. There are other quotients
quite as important for pupil and
teacher and parent. How would II
do to ascertain the environment and
cultural quotients Of pupils or the
moral and social quotient of teach
ers or the responsibility quotient OF
parents?
No disbursement is meant for
the wide awake, forward looking, ag-
gressive, sanely discontented admin
istration or teacher. We are pro-
testing against the mere utterance of
educational shibboIeths, old or new;
the slavish appeal to professional au-
thority; the waste in exploiting pop
ular but Improbable nostrums, vaga-
ries and fads. We believe in the lab
oratory. The world cannot get on
without 1t. In some sense general
experience is one of its chief contrib
utors. Nevertheless. the laboratory
is a special institution for specialists
who test out thoroughly the expert
ment, validate it and give 1t out to
the world as worthwhile. Men with
common sense accept it, adapt it and
get results. Every school system
should have it's laboratory and have
it properly manned. There would be
quite as much wisdom in setting a
whole system to testing as there
would be in having the farmers of a
district turn their farms into expert
ment stations when the people had to
have food.

Ohio adopts Dyer

Columbus, Ohio.--By a vote, prac-

resolution says: Whereas, lynching
Is a violation of the Constitution of
the United States; the Constitution of
the United States does not embody
the penalty for such violation; the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill provides for
definite punishment for said viola
ton; lynching Is disgrace to our

SOLVED, That the Ohio State Fed

EDUCATIONAL THEORY

Leaders in popular education;
whatever the results, cannot be ae-
cused of not seeking new truth and
new methods of applying old truth in
the educational field. Indeed, some
times it seems that our schools are
Just so many stations Of experimental

chance the child has to learn well a
few simple things between the educa-
tional experiments and the nervous
prostrations of the inexperienced

set by the almost daily clinic. Better
even vain efforts toward improvement
than lazy content and complaceny.
But what Is progress? What is
growth? How is 1t to be measured?

New York. N. Y.z-Rothschild
Francis, editor Of the Emancipator,
member OF, the legislature of ST..
Thomas and st. John, Virgin Islands,
United States, has Just reached New
York City on his way to Washington,
d. c.. to place before the Congress
and President Coolidge the acute eco

nearly half OF the natives have left
the islands due to lack of employ
ment- This state Of affairs was hast
ened through the application of Fed
eral laws to the islands. The people
are greatly disheartened and look to
Congress for immediate relief" Con-
tinuing his story he said: ''I fear
that the situation is at bursting point.

suffering countrymen, whose wives

Uncle Sam bought these islands-ap-
piled Federal laws to them and then

place of those his laws have worked
hardships upon and in some instances
put out of commission. Although an

Many Americans who would
champion our cause know very little
about these new possessions called

licity and more publicity. They need
remedial legislation to change things

tives a chance to exc out a hveli-
hood"
Mr.. Francis expressed a willingness
to address bodies of colored people
