N. w. c. A. NOTES
In Memory of John H. Broomfield

With the coming of Christmas, the
inmates of the Negro Old Folks
Home minds go back to John H.
Broomfield, who every year made it
possible for them to enjoy a real
Christmas dinner. Not only did he
furnish them with turkey, but every
thing that went with it, and also con-
tributed largely to the support of the
home. The question in the minds of
the members of the house committee
is, who is going to fulfill the noble
precedent set by our devoted and
beloved deceased John H. Broom
field? He is gone, but not forgotten.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Looked at from another planet hui
mainly would doubtless seem to an
Olympian outsider singularly formleSs
aggregation.
In reality, humanity Is a vast army
in which men are rather clearly segrc-
gated in the corps, divisions regiments,
battalions and companies for which
temperament and training have des-
tined them
1t is important for us to discover
early in life the unit OF the human army
in which we can best play our part in
the social conflicts and conquests of our
time.
The chief units in the human army
are. viz.
First. the scouts
In this unit We find the men who are
by nature -blazerS--the radicals,
the explorers, the discoveries. the in
Ventors. the experts who are prosecuting
their researches on the varied sectors of
the social front. and all those who are
smltten with a passion to know the I'M
known.
Second, the commanders.
In this unit we find the men who are
b. nature leaderS-the statesmen. the
captains Of industry. the executive di-
rectors Of our social institutions, and all
those who are blessed with a genius for
cO-ordinating and directing the energies
of others.
Third, the privates
In this unit we find the men who
are by nature folloWers-all those who
are capable of sound and serviceabe
work AS members of an organization, al
though they may lack executive genius
Fourth. the stragglers.
In this unit we find the men who are
by nature happiest when playing
lone hand-all those who prefer to
stand outside the modern tendency to
large-Scale organization and co-opera
tive activity. the men who are forever
looking lCngingly over their shoulders at
The pre-machine age whom q man might
grow his own food and weave his own
cloth and know the consultations of what
G. X. Chesterton has called "the re-
li8ion of small property"
Fifth, the deserters.
In this unit We find the men who are
by nature Weaklings and wastrelS-all
those against whom the cards of both
heredity and environment have been
stacked. all those in whom nature has
invested but little and whom nurture
can improve but little.
Sixth, the camp followers
In this unit we find the men who are
by nature devoid of a sense of social
responsibility and duty-all those who
consider society their own private oys-
ter, who work for themselves alone and
let the rest Of the race 60 hang.
To find the unit in which we can
function best is our personal problem
to provide special training for each unit
is public problem.
