SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT.
OF SOUTHERN NEGRO

By Scott Nearing, Federated Press
Living conditions of southern Ne
groes, particularly those working on
the land, may be characterized under
three heads: housing, education and
social opportunity. In all three direc-
tions the positions of the southern
Negro is greatly inferior to that of
the southern white.
Negro housing in the south is gen.
orally inadequate. The Negro shan
ties, built of logs in a few cases and
of wood in most instances, are usual
ly implanted, old, out Of repair, squat
id, lacking modern conveniences, I'M
supplied with the simplest necessaries
such as running water, adequate tot
let facilities, heating facilities and the
like. Negro housing is Anticipated,
inadequate, unsanitary and wretched.
Education is a second and very i'm
portant phase of living conditions.
Relatively little money is spent in the
south for the education of Negroes.
! Expenditures for educational pur-
poses are given by the commission or
inter-racial cooperation, Atlanta, il
its report on race relations in 1927:
Average Annual Expenditures PEI
Child of School Age
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1929-01-25

These figures indicate that under
the most favorable conditions, pre-
vailing for example in Tennessee and
Texas, the average annual expendl-
ture for education per child of school
age is about half as great for Negro
children as it is for white children.
Under less favorable circumstances
such as those prevailing in Georgia,
Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, North
Carolina and Virginia, expenditure
per child of school age is four, five or
six times as great for white children
as it is for colored children. In South
Carolina expenditures for white chill
dren of school age are almost ex-
actly ten times as great as for col
ored children of school age.
The II. S. children's bureau IN Its
study of Texas cotton growing areas
found half of the Negro children in
Hill county and one-sixth of the chill
dren in Rusk county not attending
school. Other children's bureau stu
dies indicate that where the Negro
children work as field hands, school
attendance invariably suffers.
Opportunities for the higher educa'
ton of Negroes are even less aouno'
ant than those for elementary edu
cation. Internationally the south pun
ishes children who are born black.
Little need be said about the socla
position of the southern Negro. IL

State Hospital.

A, who Monday walked into the
police nc uarters of Wilmington, Del,
and said he did not know who he was
or where he came from today was iden-
tilted by Delaware State Hospital and
st. Elizabeths Hospital officials as VIII
liam George Dixon. 80, former inmate
of st. Eliaabeth's Hospital.
Identification, which came through
study of the mans vague recollections
and checking up between the two hos
pitfalls, ended a two-day search of the
records of State hospitals throughout
the East in an effort to help the man
find his identity
st. Elizabeth's officials today said
that the man, subject to such mental
lapses, had been patient there since
1927, and has been more or less clear
in his mind and active in the hospital
routine.
They describe him as having the
status, at present. of IAN eloped patient"
from the hospital. As he Is harmless,
and stands a good chance of making an
adjustment of his life away from the
hospital. he will not be sent for to be
returned to st. Elizabeth's. 1t was stated.
II the Delaware authorities see mt to
send him back to Washington. he will
find the hospital facilities available for
his treatment.
Several weeks ago Dixon was given
the freedom of the grounds at st.
Elizabeths. He disappeared from the
hospital on Christmas day. The doctors
did not know how he got to Whining
ton.
Dixon, accce ding to st. Elizabeth's
records, was picked up by District
police, who alleged that the man had
been breaking seals on freight cars

as a District prisoner, but the charge
against him has been nolle pressed by

100000 VETERANS
REMAIN TO Be PAID
January 3, 1880, Is Limit for
Service Men and Women
to Get Compensation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
There are about 400,O 900 men and
women in the United States who can get
from Uncle Sam-for the mere asking
cash or q bit of paper worth from 81
to about 81 $780,
But these men and women, who are
World War soldiers and sailors, Marines
and yeomanettes must speak for it
before Thursday midnight, or forever
hold their peace.
January Is Last Date.
The adjusted compensation act of 1924
provided for payment of all veterans or
their dependents in accordance with
the service they gave. It guaranteed
monetary recompenSe to every man
who served more than so days at home
or in the trenches. and the only pro-
viso it laid down was that requests be
made to the branch in which the service
was rendered before January 3, 1890.
Those veterans still unpaid are in a
class with 1851 SAG others who already
have been given a total of $l45, $50, 345,
and with 3,434. TOO more who have re-
ceived certificates that In 20 years will
be worth the sum of s3,4T9, 958, ATS, and

Headquarters of the three branches
have been receiving the applications and
turning them over to the Veterans Blu
reau. That agency pays them in cash
when their total is less than $50. Other
wise it issues certificates which after
two years may be used to secure loans,
or may be cashed.
The approach of the time limit has
accelerated the rate at which requests
are filed. Last week 8,0l6 were filed,
while during the preceding week there
were 5,5S5. During the last three work.
ing days the War Department alone re-
ceived $3.50 applications.
Dependents of veterans may file re-
quests for six months after the time
limit for the veterans themselves ex-
pires.
