Let US plainly understand, that
while we live within our house
(some OF us from choice, others
by compulsion) we all have 10
leave 1t at times and walk the
streets and enter factories and
stores and come in contact with
all the activities that make our
life in America
We have our problems within
our house. We must deal with each
other and great amount of our
trouble comes from our lack of
fairnes toward each other. Denied
the opportunity TO impose upon
and exploit and prosecute other
races. we turn upon each other,
for criminal natures must be sat
isfied by finding a victim.
Our hope is largely dependent
upon our development of the de-
termination to rid ourselves OF
the criminal within our house. and
to move away from that place In
our thinking that will prevent us
from laying hands on him because
OF his position. or to any longer
be deceived by the thought that
to convict him OF crime and TO re-
move him. will do our group more
damage because of publicity than
to cover up his foul life.
Leaving our house we confront
world that views us with sus-
pician and Identifies us with our
criminal element, and has but lit
tie respect for our accomplish
ments and developed character
A world that does not hesitate TO
prostitute halls OF legislation and
courts OF law'to unfair pr ctices TO
Kill any ambition we may have In
life. and TO crush our thoughts
for better things.
IL may seem strange in view OF
this for us TO believe that at heart
even a world like this we face is
right. and will at last respond to
that noble and just sentiment in
which this nation was conceived
and which is plainly expressed In
the American Declaration OF In.
dependence.
twas with this thought in mind
that the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie was given organized life. Our
nope is to keep this thought alive

within our house. for the day we
believe that we have no hope from
anyone save ourselves that day
despair PARALLELS all of our efforts.
II would do us all good II we
could but see and know the men
OF power in this nation whose
names are on the roll OF this AS
sociation. IL Is not the policy OF
the Association to publish these
names. IL would possibly do our
cause more harm than good. but
be II known that they are in all
walks OF life. They are Senators,
Governors, Judges and men OF
wealth and power They are men
that are high In control of our
Metropolitan Press and men who
really do things in America.
There is no organization among
US that can bring to bear the
power and focus it upon any one
cause or action that concerns the
rights of our Race, as can this
Association.
Detroit is now called upon to
prove its loyalty TO the Associa-
ton in its approaching campaign
We must not falter or for one mo-
ment be confused as to what our
plain duty Is In this campaign.
Neither must we spoil our chance
to keep step with other progress
sive cities in America by holding
up an excuse that il is purely To-
cal in character. We must take
pride in our Detroit house and
clean II up or the nation passes
by and we are greatly concerned
about this national Judgement.
We boast that 10000 Negroes
live within our Detroit house. The
Association is out after 5000 MEM
berships. Our right to representa-
ton in city departments and in
other gainful employment can pos
sibly be greatly emphasized by
the percentage Of our group that
responds to the National Associa-
tons appeal. and to the appeal Of
other worth while institutions OF
our city that today are suffering
because of our Indifference. Cam
paigns like this really how how
many out OF 100000 can be de-
pended up 4. and from these we
must estimate our power to do
Tor ourselves and to command the
respect of other racial groups.

NEGRO SINGERS
BY Allyn Hill

There great field for real
Negro singers today. How many
real singers have we WHO can
qualify,
The test OF an artist lies In his
power of maintaining the simplici.
~ OF soul; nobility of motive and
honesty i'm Interpretation of that
music given into his hands for pre-
sentation. For one to achieve this
one must not only be singer but
linguist. musician and an in
telligent individual. For the ac-
QUESTION Of these necessary acccs-
sories, one must study and remain
ouvert. mentally ready and eager
TO learn and be taught.
A singer should be n linguist so
that he might first fully grasp the
deeper significance and meaning
Of the poem which, in reality. first
created the musical conception in
the mind of the composer. II he
can not do this he misses. neces
sarily, the atmosphere" intended
by the poet and the musician.
The Negro singer should also
fully familiarize himself with the
intellectual contents of the first so
that he may approach as nearly
as possible the inspiration and inn
agination which caused its crea-
ton. Clear enunciation, correct
phrasing and fine diction are the
highly important factors toward
achieving an artistic whole.
The great fault. and often Wat
erloo. OF our young Negro must
clans is their ability to see the
necessity for book-learning" in
their quest for musical learning.
One may be unsteady brilliant
but without culture and genuine
appreciation for the fine things of
living. one is doomed. circumscrib-
ed to an existence &c disappoint-
ment. An intelligent mind Is re-
quisite to intelligent concepts, and
intelligent concepts are requisite
to intelligent Interpretation and
presentation.
When we learn to cultivate our
minds and bodies as we'll as our
voices we will not grasp at the
superficial mannerisms and eccen-
tricities that pass for genius. We
will be able TO meet the best mu-
sicians OF every group-certain OF
our own ability. We will be able to
demand the best. not because we
are unusual Negroes capable OF
singing in foreign languages. or
because we are the children OF
slaves singing the bondage
songs OF our fathers; or because
we are equipped with brown skins
and create. therefore, box-office
stimuli. but because we are artists
In our own right as good as the
best OF them.
When we learn through the
Gethsemane Of studying alone -
hungry. weary and broke - the
magnitude of Bach, the elegance
OF Chopin, the rare lovliness OF
Wolf. the simple beauty of Schu-
bert. Verdi and others, coupled
with our own indisputably innate
musical sense. rythmn and soul as
expressed through our Spirituals
Folk-Songs and Blues. we will
produce more singers and must
clans or the Hayes calibre and
Anderson richness.
My advice ito every would-be
musician is TO go TO college. travel
ana :" STUDY The more complete
your knowledge. the more cogent
and beautiful will be your music.

PLANS TO ORGANIZE
 SCHOOL DISTRICT TO
 BE FORMED TUESDAY

Discussion of the establishment of a school district along Glacier Highway will be had at meeting to be held in the grade school as- sembly room here next Tuesday at D. m, it was announced to- day by A. E. Karnes, Commis- sioner of Education. It is pro- posed to create a district there before the beginning of the next school year.
 Commissioner Karnes will ex- plain to those residing in the section the necessity for the dis trict from which 80 pupils are now being transported by the Territory to the local public schools.
 Under a ruling made by the Board of Education several months ago, in such areas no transporta- tion costs will be paid after the current year. In order to defray the costs of transportation in the future, it is planned to create the school district and to levy a small tax on each property owner. This plan is now in use on Tongass Highway out of Ketchikan and has proved satisfactory, MT. Karnes said.
