also deprived me of the pleasure of

According to physical laws a

a shadow. If we could get together
and throw light on both sides of the

NEGRO HISTORY
BOOK ROCKS
OKLA. CULTURE

New York, July 31.-Evidence
that one small book has rocked Okla
homa civilization to its very founda-
tions has come to the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of Col
ored People. Oklahoma school off,
cials and the local American Legion
are in a panic and the gravest appre-
tensions are felt for the culture of
this highly intellectual state.
The offending volume is DR.. Carter
G. Woodson's "The Negro in Our His
tory" which was discovered by
whites in use in Negro Manual
Training High School of the state.
Members of the school board"
says the Muskogee Daily Phoenix,
after reading 1t, expressed horror
and surprise that such a work should
have crept into our Negro schools.
All professed ignorance of its exist
ence. C. X. Reiff, who was then act
ing as superintendent, ordered all
copies confiscated and prohibited its
further use.
"The theme of the book" declares
the Oklahoma white paper. 'is found
in one of its full page illustrations, a
picture of mixed jury. half Negro
and half white. in the District of Co
lumbia. The picture is captioned
The New Freedom!'"
The Oklahoma white newspaper
then goes on to recite, as follows, the
further grievances of Oklahoma's in
tellectual white lights against DR..
Carter's book:
THE author speaks bitterly of
Americas treatment of the Negro SOL
dier and condemns the government
for frowning upon the intermingling
of Negro soldiers and French women.
Negro soldiers, it declares, were Oft
en- more courageous than their 'su-
perior' white officers.
"The closing pages of the book
deal with the race war that broke
out in Washington, d. c., after the
close of the world struggle. The au-
thor comments boastingly upon the
fact that in the second day of the
fighting the Negroes killed more
white people than the whites killed
Negroes"

and a half, and went to California,
where he spent the winter months,

led by Rev. Harris that seems to
rock the community in which the
campaign is being held. Hundreds
of admirers who have heard the SER
mons delivered by the Evangelist
each evening file in with clock-like
precision at P. M. and In a very
few minutes every available place un-
der the spacious canvas is taken. The
entire audience is supplied with
books and a song service Is conduct
ed for thirty minutes that prepares
the great throng with receptive at
titudes for the message.
While the musicians play softly
and with feeling "Holy Ghost With
Light Divine" the congregation Is
asked to consecrate without persua-
sion ten cents. The ringing Of the
dimes while the plates are being
passed by the ushers indicates the
willingness on the part Of the audi
ence to contribute to the furthering
of the great cause advocated by Mr.,
Harris. 1t seems that while the mu-
sic is being played with so much
feeling every one feels that he must
give.

She exhibited unusual ability in
handling people, she has a wonderful
