E. T. Devine Declares
Against Chauvinism Prop
uganda in Schools.

Declaring that participation ot the
American Legion III observance of
American Education week is ''respon :
Sible for its program of intolerance
and miIitaristic chauviuiSm." a pro-
test against the participation of the
Legion in an educational activity of
the Government was filed today with
the Bureau of Education by Z. I,
Devine, a former member Of the
United States Coal Commission, act
ing as chairman of a joint meeting
of the American Civil Liberties Union
and the Teachers Union held recent
ly in New York City. The America n
Civil Liberties Union had previously
attacked the program on several
grounds.
Program of Cbau,ipism.
The protest adds that the two
organizations protest against the
participating of a military organiza-
tion in an educational activity of the
Federal Government and condemns
this effort to propagandize American
school children in the interest of a
private organizations conception of
patriotism" 1t holds the American
Legion responsible for "its program
of intolerance and militaristic chau-
vinism."
Education week will be observed
by the National League of Women
Voters for four days, according to
a recommendation made by Mrs.
Walter d. Brookings, chairman of
the leagues committee on education.
Cooperation of the league of women
voters will be confined, Mrs. Brook
ings said, to work along the lines of
its own program as adopted in the
WomenS convention.
-Four days in the program pre-
pared by the three cooperating or
ganizations stand out as particularly
our own" Mrs. Brookings said. These
relate to the opening of the doors of
educational opportunity to the child
or to the handicapped adult illiterate,
and to the responsibility of the vot-
ing citizen to the public school sys-
TEN. An increase of public interest
in educational matters and the ulti-
mate development of strong, intel
ligent citizenship is the end we seek
to promote in Education week.
Education week begins next Mon
day, and President Coolidge is expect
ed to formally proclaim it.

diately upon receipt of news of the
attempt to have Wells ousted, Walter

ment of Colored People, called upon
the Columbia dean.
Dean Hawkes. told Mr.. White that
he had informed the white trouble
maker that he' could leave the dormi-
tory if he wanted to, that his room
could very easily be rented as there
was IL long waiting list.
"One man in the hail." said Dean
Hawkes.. 81 trouble-maker,' Disagree
able fellow tried to stir up feeling
against colored man who had been
given room in Furnald hall. When
he came to me about the matter, told
him that colored men had stayed in
that hall before and that in the future,
as in the past, there would be no dis
elimination of any sort allowed. 1 told
him that as long as man behaved
himself, there would be no objection
to any man, whatever his race, being
given quarters at Columbia, and l fur
ther informed this man that if he or
any other did not want to stay in the
hall he could move, as we have wait
ing list with hundreds of mems names
on it and could easily fill the rooms
of those who moved.
when | told him this he made the
remark, We'll, will give you some
publicity and see how you like that
He then got newspaper reporters and
gave them the material on which the
stories in today's newspapers were
based. 1 say again that any person
or persons who do not want to stay in
Furnald hall can move and may the
Lord bless them"
According to the account in the New
York World of the protest against
Mr.. Wells residing in Furnald hall, the
objectors We're led by J. B. Rucker
of Norfolk, Va, and L. FL. Hill, who
comes from near Atlanta, Ga, both of
them Southern whites.

Legislature Gives
Morgan $4,000
Governor Richie Studies Bill
and May Give 1t His Ex-
ecutive Approval

Annapolis, Md, April 3.-In the last
hours of the Legislature this week,
bill went through appropriating $125,-
600 for a science hall ut Morgan Col
lege.
President J. o. Spencer of the col
lege spent practically all of the week
here and aided by his friends sue
ceeded in getting the measure through
both the Senate and the House. His
success is said to be largely through
the fact that the Legislature passed
bills appropriating 100000 to st.
Johns College a large sum to the Uni
versity of Maryland.
The bill was first indefinitely post
poned in the House, later defeated and
finally reconsidered and passed.
In committing himself Governor
Ritchie said he is studying the bill
and hopes to be able to give it his
executive approval. 1t is said the
governor will confer with President
Spencer in the near future to see if
this appropriation will make Morgan
College self-supporting. The govern
or's educational committee which re-
Gently surveyed the colleges recon-
mended that the state aid be with
held from these colleges in the future.
Allendae Bill Lost
That the Morgan College bill went
through the Legislature and the bill
appropriating 100000 for a school for
was lost, was said to have been due
to the fact that the latter measure
was introduced by Republicans. The
bill passed the Senate, but was killed
in the House. 1t had the backing OF
number of local organizations.

The girl not only admitted the story

Kelker street, has been in charge OF
the office at the Shook shop for the
last two days while Mr. Shook was
busy elsewhere. When her brother,
employed as timer by Shook, and
another workman returned to the shop
