MORE NEGRO. GIRLS BORN

Washington.-The American Negro

1t was discovered BY figures compiled
by and given out By the census bureau.
It was found in calculating according
Ia the birth registration area. that the
Negro, year after year has a compar-
atively low masculinity while that Of
the white Is considerably higher.
The greatest number Of boys born
to colored Americans in the six years
between 1917 and 1922 was 1893 in
1913. The greatest number Of whites
in that time being 1902 in 1922. At
the same time there were only 1000
girls born to white mothers, which
shows that the Negro has a higher
birth rate than the whites. The birth
rate for 1922 was 22.5 to 1000 popula-
ton; and the death rate 119 to 1000
Of the total American births in that
year 91183l were males while 863,-

The opinion is prevalent that Ne

While undergoing treatment at the

Of small things that help to make the
life Of sanatorium patients and the
long period Of treatment pass pleas

these. The colored sanatorium at the
present time does not have any Of
these things nor does the State make
any appropriation for them. Books Of

quirement Of pictures Of applicants for
positions under the civil service was
taken BY Dean Miller.
He said: Eat present The civil serv-
ice applicant is required to submit 4
photograph and is LETT at the mercy OF
the head Of the bureau to whom it is
certified. When the civil service law
was first enacted | received al ap-
pointment as the result Of competi-
tive examination without the least in
fluence or backing.
IF had been required u submit
Ia photograph and my appointment had
been based on personal pulchritudc,

a chance. The civil service commits
sion has no warrant for presuming to
judge the minds constitution in the
face. The essential principle Of de-
mocracy is violated BY such construc-
ton. The photograph is not neces-
sary for Identification Of the applicant.
The only practical purpose served Is
to exclude the applicant whose face
shows augmentation"
Prof. Miller asserted that under the
system requiring photographs for
identification, the Negro clerk in the
departments is fast becoming thing

the caste system developed BY the
horizontal segregation" which BY
means Of the service photograph keeps
Negro appointees in the ranks Of la

The successful Negro competitor
finds his hopes frustrated By a subter-
fuge. Scores Of individual instances

has become disheartened BY repeated
disappointment, rebuff and humiliation

President J. M. Henry of Canton
Christian College Speaks to Hamp-
den Workers and Students
on Growth of Chinese
Nationalism


Hampton, Va-Dr. James NJ. Hen
rv. president Of Canton Christian Col
lege, in his recent talk to the Hamp-
ton Institute workers and students.
delivered i'll Ogden Hall, expressed his
own deep interest and the deep, eager
interest Of many people in China for
Hampton. He assured his hearers that
they would be surprised to know how
we'll Hampton is known in China.
Doctor Henry told Of the great dis
tances between the principal cities Of
China and the length Of time it takes
to travel between them. 1t takes ten
days, for example, to travel from Pc
king, the capital, to Canton, in South
crn China. It takes two weeks to
travel from Canton to Hankow, eight
hundred miles nearer than Picking, and
the distance from Chicago to Hamp-
ton
Having been born in China, Doctor
Henry could recall the amusement Of
The Southern Chinese when a northern
province was taken BY Japan All
this has changed during the last 80
years. Today there is a strong ma
tional feeling in this vastly populated
country
In describing the political situation
III China Doctor Henry asked his
audience to picture, instead of three
American parties, three political lead
ers. each i'll a different section Of the
country, with armed followers. He
explained that this is the reason why
China has not been able to have an
election such as Americans have.
On what was formerly a cemetery
there stands the Canton Christian Col
lege with its one thousand students.
Doctor Henry said that Abraham Lin
coin, General Armstrong and Booker
Washington are looking down with
sympathy and understanding watching
the progress Of the colored race. He
told the students that the problems Of
the colored youth are the same as those
Of the Chinese. The youth Of nation
Is its hope for the future.
LAS it takes faith to remove noun
tains 50 it will take faith to remove
the difficulties Of our people" said
Doctor Henry, who. in closing his ad-
dress. asked the students III Hampton
Institute to keep Canton Christian Col
lege in their thoughts as those stu
dents IN PARKWAY China are doing for
students at Hampton.

"Black Jack" Wants to Be President

Latin American market against Euro
pean competition.
He offers the old familiar pleas for
a ship subsidy-the encouragement of
the shipbuilding industry, the safe and
reliable handling Of American goods
in foreign trade, the need for a naval
reserve in time of war. He has learned
nothing from the overwhelming defeat
Of the Harding ship subsidy proposal.
He has not word for government
owned ships, operated on basis of
fair treatment of the government. The
Pershing mind sees nothing except
the desire of the shipbuilding inter
ests and the shipping combine to draw
millions from the treasury as a pri-
vate subsidy.
1t is possible that Pershing will be
put forward as a candidate for the
senate next year in Missouri, against
Spencer. Chances, however, seem to
favor his reaching for the presidential
prize, and his bidding, as General
Wood bid in 1920. for the support of
Wall Street.

ScnOOiS is an experiment. The eXper'
iment as tried in several schools is
as follows:
One day each week periods are set
aside in the public school program
during which all the children from
grade one to grade eight go to the
church of their faith. Several teach.
ers lead the children to the churches.
Since the superintendent Of schools is
responsible for this experiment, the
religious instruction must be of a GER
tain standard. Attendance for the
present is not compulsory.
Ostracise Atheists.
This is the official version, but what
methods the teachers use to carry out
this voluntary attendance. and what
instructions are given to them, is well
known to all who are at all acquaint.
ed with our educational system. The
teacher of course exerts her influence
and the ostracism which naturally ac-
companies such epithets as atheist"
which would be hurled at the children
who failed to attend the religious In
struction. assures 100 per cent attend
ance in the churches and synagogues.

matter Of course. The working out of
the details of the tactics to be pur-
sued is being carried on.
An early step will probably be agi-
tation before the board Of estimates
and apportionment of New York City.
Governor Smith, in vetoing the Ricca
bill, passed the buck back to the city,
contending that the board Of estimate
had power to grant such increases as
1t desired and it was in line with the
principle of home rule to let it do so.
Kind Of Sympathy But No Cash.
This excuse Of Governor Smith did
not get over with the Teachers Union.
The governors apparent sympathy
with the teachers which he showed by
the signing of a pension bill does not
mean much for what was needed was
more money for the working teachers,
while they were working.
II is all right to talk of home rule,
the unionists say, but they have
simply been unable to get relief thru
the estimate board and what they had
TO have was relief from the rising cost
of living. The Ricca bill, increasing
wages an average Of 20 per cent would
have paid some Of their extra rent
and the higher prices of milk, butter
and eggs.
Graphic and line charts Of the diff.
ference between wage increases and
the cost OF living since 1914 gotten
out by the joint salaries committee OF
fifteen shows that even with the in
creases granted by the Ricca bill the
standard Of living of the teachers
would be slightly below that OF 1914.
Living costs have gone up 7e.5 per
cent in that period and the Ricca in
crease would have brot the rate OF
pay to so or rs per cent above that OF
1914.

successful (from the capitalist point
of view, the cloak Of experiment will
be discarded. and capitalism will use
religion as another weapon against
the workers and the workers move
ment.
Dope In School Widespread
The attempt to introduce religious
training in the public schools has
drawn the attention of the workers to
the widespread existence of religious
instruction for children, which many
workers have up to the present con.
sidered negligible In New York City
at the present time there are religious
Sunday schools, and religious after
noon classes, with total attendance
of $4,000 children.
There are also parochial schools.
and private schools which include re-
ligion in their curriculum. These
schools have total enrolment of $780,
fourth Of all children of school age in
New York City are directly under the
control OF the churches. II in addi-
ton, we consider the religious propa-
ganda spread by the movies, news
papers, books, magazines and other
agencies of capitalist propaganda, we
see that the old Jesuit saying Get
them while they are young" Is being
realized more than ever before.
Cloak For Propaganda
The road for the workers is clear.
They must conduct vigorous strug.
gle against the introduction OF reli.
gious training into the public schools;
they must fight all religious training;
they must ask their children not to
attend religious instruction, explain.
ing that religion is only a cloak for
capitalist propaganda.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 28.-
Whatever aid can be given by the

four members of the United Mine
Workers of America arrested at
Wheeling, charged with violation OF
an old and forgotten permanent in
junction secured by the Richland Coal
company, will gladly be extended,
according to an official statement just

He pointed out that the injunction
secured in 1909 by the Hitchman Coal
company, permanently forbidding the
union to attempt.to organize the Hitch
man employees, was distinct from the
one given by the late Judge Dayton
to the Richland company. Both in

functions in existence, issued long
ago, which at any moment may be
employed against the labor move
