The Juliu. Ro.enwaId Fund

Julius Rosenwald, head of Sears,
Roebuck and Company, and Chicago
philanthropist, is man of deeds and
good works rather than one of words.
The Chicago Daily News, in giving a
resume of the Julius Rosenwald fund,
a foundation devoted to the establish
ment and endowment of small schools
for Negroes in the south, calls TO mind
his many benefactions to our group,
including his gifts to Negro Y. M.
C. As throughout the country.
The most remarkable feature of the
many remarkable results is evidenced
in the spirit of self-help implanted
and stimulated both in the southern
whites and Negroes by the methods
of operation and administration of
this fund. OF the $17,641, 664 invest
ed in new buildings for ten years
ended July LIST, Negroes contributed
S3,550,763, white men contributed
$784,861, the Rosenwald fund con-
tributed s3,032,511 and from public
taxation, $10,273.529 was paid.
So we see by these cooperative fig
ures that Mr.. Rosenwald was helped
by both races, in a practical way to
solve a common problem. 1t is in
deed prideful and inspiring to note
that the Negroes themselves are deep
ly and conscientiously interested in
giving for the education of their own
children. In so doing they are dis
playing fine spirit of appreciation
and cooperation. :
The Julius Rosenwald fund is also
influencing the south, and most espe-
eially the fourteen states where it
operates, to take greater interest, not
only in Negro education, but in their
own.
The net results to the south of this
foundation is great. The future good
it will do is beyond computation.
Never has a philanthropist with the
sympathy, vision and charity of Mr..
Rosenwald, launched and sustained a
movement of uplift fraught with
greater, godlier, or more far reaching
possibilities. His mission in this field
is as sincere as it is singular, sanguine
and successful. Mr.. Rosenwald not
only deserves but has the deep and
lasting gratitude, not only of the
races he has benefited, but of the
nation.
His liberal benefactions will cause
generations Of black babes, yet I'M
born, to rise up and call him blessed.
He is our most consistent as well as
human and constructive philanthro-
pist. - Chicago Bee.

SHERIFF, STUMBLE
AGAIN

Last week we said that
where drunken men and wo-
men are frequently seen there
must be booze Whereabouts.
Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald
stumbled upon one of these
places accidentally Saturday
night. 1t was at a place not
suspected by us, nor was it due
to any tip given by us. We are
not a Upper. That's not our
business. We suggest, how
ever, that it will be a mighty
good thing for sheriff's depu-
ties, police officers and federal
officials to do a little more
stumbling like Mcdonald did,
and some of these booze joints
will be put out of business.
And, by the way, we would
suggest that these officials do
some stumbling upon the high
er ups who supply these little
chaps with their goods. Stun
BILE, sheriff, stumble, stumble

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY
Texas Hun. Start League Season

Texas Huns Start League Season
1t remained for a gang of barbar-
ians and hoodlums in east Texas to
place this state back in the lynching
league and thereby qualify for the
1928 season, though off to a late
start, by lynching a colored Ameri-
can.
Charged with killing an officer of
the law and seriously wounding an
other guardian of the law, an irate
mob of Shelby county huns recently
seized an unarmed Negro and hanged
him to a tree on the court house lawn,
according to newspaper reports.
This demonstration of savagery,
barbarism and anarchy marks the
first mobocratic incident in Texas for
some time, and again places Texas in
Judge Lynch's infamous and bastard
ly loop.
We have been waiting to see what
action our notwithstanding COVER
nor is going to take in this matter,
since he is such Jealous defender of
law and order and bitter foe to any
person who nullifies, ignores or over
rides the written laws of the state and
nation.-Houston Informer.

in the dark, grope about, stumble and
fall-alone! Our hearts bleed, but
we ourselves are barehanded and can
not help them
This situation is challenge to the
Negro group in the United States, a
test of whether we ourselves are
worth while. All nature is evolution,
a march toward the better fitness to
survive. If the young Negro must
start where his fathers began, this
march for him is only marking time
and the race has failed.
This problem of service to each
other falls all the heavier on us be-
cause American custom cuts us off
from contacts freely open to every
one else. Time and again, we have
implored our readers to look about
them and see where they can help
their own. One job, one bit of advice
on health or department, one gift to
a community aid, one act of any kind
which is unselfish, is within every
mans ability. If done, the race
marches on. If neglected we fall that
much farther to the rear-Kansas

WE WANT COLORED
TEACHERS

Among the graduates from
the University of Omaha this
week are at least two young
women who have had expert
ence as teachers and can meas
ure up to every standard re-
CURED by the Board of Educa-
ton. In addition to these,
there are two others whose ap-
plications have been on file in
the superintendent office-if
they have not been destroyed,
strayed, stolen or lost-for
four years, who are also high
school and university gradu-
ates and have had four years
of experience as teachers. Why
then, can we not have some of
our young women on the corps
of teachers? There are sever
al schools in this city where
there are large enrollments of
colored pupils. 1t would be an
inspiration and encouragement
to these pupils to see some of
their own race teaching in our
public schools, in these where
the enrolment of colored pu-
pills are large, or in others. We
want the Board of Education to
elect some colored teachers
and then let the Superinten-
dent assign them, wherever his
judgment may suggest. But
we want some colored teach
ers, and we want them now.
Mr.. John H. Beveridge, we
believe the answer of this ques-
ton is largely up to you.

Make a Place for Somebody

At this time of the year when the
schools are sending forth young peo-
pie, ready as far as books and teach
ers can prepare them, we have a feel

our love we cannot really help our
own. AS general proposition each
person must make his own way
through life. But to some there is
guidance, encouragement and reward.

France linked to
Asia By Air Line

HANOI, Indo-China, Dec. 20.-CF
-Six-day airplane service between
Frances far eastern colonial empire
and Paris has been planned by the
new governor-general Of Indo-China
70 the end Of 1929.
This great new international line
needs only a few more governmental
negotiations and establishment Of
facilities for a commercial airway be-
tween Rangoon, Burma, and Hanoi, to
become a reality. Governor-Eeneral
Pasquier hopes that IL will be redy
by the end OF mex year.
The airplane is speeding up all
Indo-China. Military aviation IS the
basis of the enormous improvements
realized in this ancient land OF
temples and pagodas and impen-
etrable junglcs.
These pilots. under the leadership
Of a war ace. have mapped the jungle
and tanned the widest mountain re-
gions. Major GlaiLe, who commanded
the famous Stork Squadron during
the war, with four military squadrons
equipped with Bre-uct and Potez
planes. has paved the way for n com
mcrcial service between Saigon and
Savannakhet and regularly main
tanned the postal services OF the col
ony during flood seasons.
Indo-China now wants to 70 ahead
in development OF civil aviation. NJ.
Pasnuier thinks il is strong enough
% 20 ahead without further depend
ance on military service.

cents a week for men and n dollar
and n quarter a week for women.
Their day begins at $3.50 a. m. and
ends at 10 a. m, with one hour and a
