EDUCATIONAL RALLY FOR
GREATER BETHEL CHURCH
BY LeOra Bruce

Rev. T. L. Scott, Of Allen Temple,
at 30th and Dearborn SIS, threw open
the doors of his church last Sunday
afternoon, at 8 P. NJ, to Rev. c. M.
Tanner and his congregation at
Greater Bethel Church, (Which edifce
was devastated by fire some months
ago. and gave helping hand with his
congregation to raise money for the
educational rally, which was the OBJ
ject Of this meeting. Hon. VIM. B.
Mckinley, United States Senator from
Illinois, who was to have been the
speaker Of the evening, sent a telegram
to Rev. Tanner, stating that he would
not be able to leave Washington at
that time.
However, the meeting proved to be
one Of inspiration, due to the fact that
we had our own representative, Hon.
Adelbert H. Roberts, State Senator, as
master of ceremonies and Mr.. Pres
colt, lawyer and orator, both Of whom
made wonderful addresses. Several
selections by the choir, under the lead
ership of DR. Oford and the bass
solos rendered by Mr.. Sidney Raglan,
were greatly appreciated by all. In
the absence Of Hon. Warren B. Doug
las, State Representative, Mr.. Morris
Lewis made few timely remarks.
Since the word education means to
lead out-out Of the ruins Of Bethel,
led on as they are, BY Rev Tanner.

you make your home with us during
your short visit to New York City"
We informed Rev. Robinson that it
was late Wednesday evening when we
landed in that big town and we did
not want to bother him or his family
at that hour of the evening and that
we had spent some time on Wednes-
day evening and Thursday morning
in an effort to locate him, as we had
just learned that his phone number
was in the name of his church, and
that we had simply ran over from
Washington, d. O., to pay our re-
spects to Hon. William Sulzer and to
himself and family.
Then Rev. Robinson wanted to
know where he could find us right at
that time and we informed him that
we were sitting right in the law offices

he is as straight as an Indian. After
taking several long strides he was
right by our side tightly holding our

Of women of both races is free, We

under the strict requirements of the
substance of the bill, the Griffith iea-
ture would be unable to enter South
Carolina.
Returning to our discussion Of the
film itself, it was our extreme dis
pleasure, about ten years ago, to view
the Birth of a Nation nine times, for
historical purposes and IN order to
criticize it upon its face record. II
may be interesting to the readers Of
this column to know that the charac-
ter Of Stoneman, the abolitionist, was
partially taken from the great Thad-
deus Stevens, Congressman from Ian
caster County, Pennsylvania, during a
portion Of Lincoln's administration
and the reconstruction period. There
has never been a statesman in the his
tory Of America who 50 fearlessly en-
deavored to establish justice and
equity for the Negro. Stevens had
much to do with the passage Of the
Civil Rights Bill. He Was On his feet
in the House at the slightest opportun-
ity to invoke justice and amend the
Constitution SO as to elevate the Ne
gro freemen to fulsome rights as
American citizens.
The Birth Of Nation portrays the
Stoneman-Stevens character with gross
falseness. Its historical quotations
are distorted into untruths. Il magnl-
fies the exception rather than the rule
and it elevates prejudice rather than
craftsmanship, or even good fiction, 70
the pedestal of alteration. The exulta-
ton Of theater audiences over the
Griffith picture is visible proof that
there are still present in the good old
Y. 5. a., a careless, thoughtless group
of people seeking entertainment an
the appeasing of vulgar desires un-
mindful of truth, and immune to the
glory and honor which really saturated
the birth and life of the American na-
tion.

LOUISIANA COMMITTEE E
SEEKS CoLoRED NORMAL
SCHOOL
Other Detectives Set by Interracial
Group in Annual Meet
New Orleans, Lathe Louisiana

State Committee on Race Relations, in
annual session here last week, set the
following detectives for the coming
year: Efforts to secure a state normal
school for Negroes and reformatory
for delinquent Negro boys, the crea-
ton Of state housing commission, the
organization Of local interracial com
mittees in number Of strategic CEN
tiers, and continuance Of campaign Of
educational publicity. Through the
committees efforts, a bill providing
for a state normal was passed almost
unanimously last year, but failed for
lack Of the governors signature.
Dr. Oscar Bowling, Secretary Of the
State Board Of Health, told a graphic
story Of improper Negro housing and
poor sanitary conditions, resulting in
death rate from tuberculosis three
times as high as that among white
people. pr. Bowling has placed a
most efficient colored nurse on his staff
and hopes to add others, physicians
and nurses.
Speaking for the colored group, Miss
Fannie Williams, Principal of tones
School, said that the chief causes Of
interracial friction are lack of under
standing, failure of many communities
to provide in Negro sections the pub
lie utilities necessary to safe and de-
cent existence, economic hardships, I'M
fair inequalities in railroad trains,
street cars and sometimes even in
courts, and unfavorable publicity in the
newspapers.
Prof. ]. S. Clark, leading colored
educator, expressed the opinion that
these injustices are often due more to
misrepresentation and lack of knowl-
edge than to deliberate unfairness, and
that to show people the facts, frankly
and in good spirit, is the surest way Of
correcting them.
Prof w. w. Hadnott, who is retiring
as colored secretary Of the work in
Louisiana, was given hearty vote Of
appreciation for the fine service he has
rendered the cause.
More than forty representative men
and women Of both races were pres
ent at the meeting. Prof. L. M. Fav-
rot was reelected chairman.

CHANGED HIS VIEWS COM
PLETELY
Students Attitude Transformed by In
terracial Conference Group

Atlanta, Ga.-An interesting feature
Of the Interracial Movement in the
South has been the organization Of
interracial student groups in a number
Of college centers, by which white and
colored students are brought together
at regular intervals for the exchange
of views and the promotion of under
standing. The results have been graf
flying in every case. Misapprehensions
have been cleared up, knowledge has
taken the place of rumor and precon-
ception, and confidence and goodwill
have supplanted suspicion and preju-
dice The following story shows how
the plan works:
AT an early meeting this year of the
Atlanta group, made up of students
from three white and three colored
colleges, the question of higher educa-
ton for Negroes was raised. One
white student very frankly said that
he did not believe in it; he thought it
unnecessary and undesirable He was
asked to bring in at the succeeding
meeting a paper in support Of his view,
while a colored student was asked to
prepare a paper on the other side.
With much interest the group looked
forward to the expected debate.
AT the next meeting Of the commit
tee, the white student was called upon
for his paper. He replied, Il haven't
any. When l began to look into the
subject, / found l was wholly mis-
taken. My views are completely
changed. l believe now that colored
students should have the same sort Of
educational opportunities that other
people have.
mot only So" he continued, "but |
think we ought to do something about
this matter. A great many people still
think as l used to, just because they
do not know. Let's 60 to work to
get the facts over to them through the
press and otherwise

The Association for the Study Of
Negro Life and History was organ
lied in Chicago, September 9, 1915, by
Carter G. Woodson with FIVE persons,
four Of whom are still living. AT that
time it was believed that the work Of
the organization should be altogether
intensive so as to treat scientifically
the neglected records Of the Negro
race.
The founder, however, had not adj
vanced very far in the prosecution Of
this task before he discovered that
such movement, meeting long-felt
want, would Immediately have popular
support. The Association received
hearty welcome from other enterprises
disseminating information and pro-
noting the truth, and soon found CO..
workers in all ranks Of life. The rapid
rise of the Association and the wide
extension of its work have surpassed
the expectations Of its founder.
The Association for the Study Of
Negro Lie and History, however, is
altogether altruistic. There has been
no effort to make its publication pop
ular in the sense Of commerciahzing
the enterprise, nor has anyone con-
nected with the Association been per-
nnitted to use it for exploitation. What
ever income accrues from the dona-
tions, and fees, and the like, is used
to pay the necessary expenses of the
Association. If the income exceeds
the amount thus required it is used to
undertake neglected aspects of the
work and to popularize it in other
parts. Most OF the officials connected
with the Association, moreover, have
thus attached themselves at a sacrifice
to cooperate with the Director and
his staff in the performance Of what
they considered one OF the most i'm
portant tasks hitherto undertaken.
The Association makes no effort to
sell the Journal Of Negro History at
news-stands or to casual readers. This
publication is rather regarded as an
organ for the diffusion Of knowledge
among those who will appreciate its
purpose and profit by reading its con
tents. This magazine appeals to in
telligent households, philanthropic
business men, progressive clubs, in
stitutional churches, and liberal
schools.
Professor John R. Hawkins is the
president Of the Association, Mr.. s.
w. Rutherford is the secretary-treas-
urer, and DR.. G. G. Woodson is the
director Of The Journal Of Negro His
tory.

TEN MILLION DOLLAR BALL
PARK FOR NEW LEAGUE
IN CHICAGO
By John X. McInary

Acknowledgment to The Broad
AK BY NJ. N. F. S.)-The first step
towards physical activity Of the new
Consolidated Baseball Leagues, will be
taken this month, when suitable site
in Chicago for the proposed leagues
park will be secured, was the an
nouncement Of Hiram J. Bohan, or
ganizer, who has offices here.
According to best advices from Chi
cago, Bohan believes that it is possible
for his league to secure a plot of land
on the south side Of the Chicago river,
just east Of the ten million dollar hotel
and convention hall to be constructed
BY the Illinois Central Railroad.
Bohan does not believe that there
will be fight with the existing major
leagues, for, he says, his organization
has options on four major league fran
chises and may soon be able to an
nounce that his company has secured
a controlling vote in both leagues. In
such an event the two major leagues
will be incorporated in the new league
which contemplates activities in sixty
eight cities.
Bohan's idea is to have a central
head who will hire all the talent for
every team in the various leagues. In
stead Of one group owning franchises
in each town, the whole league will
be incorporated in one organization.
This, Bohan declares, will do away
with scandals and tend to make the
races in each league closer.
He intends OF have his league in
operation in 1926 in the following
cities: Boston, New York, Baltimore,
Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Kan
sas City, Minneapolis, Louisville, To
ronto, Montreal, Syracuse, Memphis
and Omaha. There will Be four
leagues and instead Of two teams COM
peting for the worlds championship,
there will be four mines in the new
worlds series.
The Chicago plant, which Bohan
says will cost at least ten million dol
lars, will be the center Of all sporting
and artistic activities in the city. "A
ball park seating 100000 is contem-
plated. Surrounding the park will Be
hotels, theatres, restaurants, cabarets,
stores, Offices, bowling alleys and other
activities. Towers on each corner will
house theatrical supply firms, song
writers and artists and sculptures. In
short, Bohan intends to make his ball
park the Latin Quarter Of the city
During the winter months ice skating
will be the attraction and football in
season will be another. Bohan says
that instead of the park being in use
only six months year, he will get 4
twelve months work for his money
He claims that there are acres Of waste
space between the entrances to present
parks and the stands. This space, 30
hans league will use. He claims that
the buildings surrounding the parks
will pay all expenses while the revenue
from the ball park will Be 4 clear

pay dividends from the start. He *
