tension Course Called
'Ineligible."

Wilmington, have been barred from
an extension course offered in Will
mington by Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity of Baltimore, according to an
article in the current issue of The

by the University that it was against
the policy of Johns Hopkins to admit
Negroes to it's courses. Mr.. Ward
then advised the "a colored teachers
registered in the course to withdraw,
because of their "ineligibility."
Through the action of George A.
Johnson, principal of colored How
ard High School, principals of the 80
schools of the city were called to-
gether by Mr.. Ward to discuss the
situation. In a speech in which he
suggested that either the course in
question be excluded, or that only
those eligible for it be allowed to
enter, Ward pointed out that he was
not responsible for the policy of
Johns Hopkins.
After discussion in which it was
shown that the whole city of Will
mington was concerned in the action,
because Johns Hopkins was attempt
ing to spread discrimination through
public school sanction, motion was
carried unanimously by the "a white
and 6 colored principals that the
course be rejected with no further
consideration.

ing improvements Intro
duced Recently.
IN. A. A. C. P, Press Service)


New York-A telegram from Con-
gresham L. C. Dyer of Missouri,
outlining the new anti-lynching bill
which he is sponsoring, has been re-
ceived at the Office of the. National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
Mr.. Dyer's message says in part:
"The Anti-Lynching Bill Gov
ers all the important provisions of
the previous bill. In addition, two
important notifications are made.
The first is to cover the acts of mobs
not only where they deprive a per-
son of his life, but also where they
do him physical injury. Second, un-
der the new bill, it will not be neces-
sary in order to convict the members
of mob to show that it's acts were
intended or done as punishment for
or to prevent the commission of some
actual or supposed public offense."
New Bill Revision.
The new bill which has been in
troduced in the 69th Congress, is the
product of revision undertaken by
Mr.. Byer with the cooperation of
the National Legal Committee of the
N. A. A. C. P. Herbert X. Stockton,
member of the N. A. A. c. P. Legal
Committee and of the Board of
Directors, devoted much time to
strengthening the measure, with
suggestions made by Moorfield Stor-
ey, president Of the N A. A. C. p,
and Louis Marshall, member of the
Board of Directors.
Besides the improvements indi-
Gated in Mr.. Dyer's telegram, nu-
merous other detailed changes have
been made in the phrasing of the
measure, strengthening and making
it more clear and specific.
