School Calls 5000 Jobless In Balti-
more Under FERA Adult
Education Program.
BY Edgar G. Brown


School bells in Baltimore are peal
ing daily for over 5000 adult persons
who ordinarily would not answer their
call, according to Davis E. Weglein,
superintendent of public instruction
They are among the unemployed.
The attack on idditeracy began a
year ago. Funds were provided by the
FERA, of which Harry L. Hopkins is
Administrator, to employ teachers.
These teachers in turn were placed
at the disposal of adults desiring a
higher plane of learning while waiting
for jobs OF for persons wanting col
legiate education after high school
training.
Today, in the State Of Maryland, as
all over the country, grandpa can ac-
company his grandchildren to the
schoolhouse. He can choose the sub
ject he likes best provided it will be
OF some use to him and meets the ap-
proval of the Department of Educa-
tion). Mother, too, may take advan-
tage of this free training and at
tend classes n parent education. Her
youngest child, not yet ready for
school, may begin his readin' and
writin' in the eight nursery schools
scattered throughout the city.
DR.. Weglein said: GAS long as the
funds are provided we will continue to
provide education for any group of
adults DESTROYS of learning. We feel
that it is a noble work for it not only
combats illiteracy, but gives employ
ment to our teachers and boosts the
morale of the students"
DR.. Weglein said that 152 teachers
had been employed in the past year
and more would be given jobs as stu
dent enrolment increased. He said
the largest group to take advantage Of
free training was in the general edu-
cational field, where such subjects as
home economies and the industrial
arts are taught. There are 1,948 stu
dents attending these classes, rang
ing in age from sixteen to sixty.
Nearly 800 persons, 300 white and
500 colored, in Baltimore, are pursu-
ing college courses. Five hundred
mothers are enrolled in the parent
education classes. Although most of
the classes are at night or in the
early evening, they are in no way
connected with regular night public
schools.
1T is interesting to note," said Mr..
Martin M. Hihns, director of evening

Police Terrorize Negroes
In Hunt For "Rapist''

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES iz-
ing upon a weird "attack" story
Of q 17-year-old white girl, Mary
Craft, the local police have init

rap1st." Wholesale arrests have
been made.
The girl claimed that she was

"visit to her father" manager Of
Of a local hotel, when a "Negro

her down." Despite the darkness
Of the night and a reported des-

Cleveland, o., Jan. 25.-Before one
Of the largest congregations ever
massed at a Sunday morning service
at historic MI. Zion Temple C~ongrega-
tional church, Rev Horace White, pas
tor, flayed the cyurrent Universal film
success, Limitation of Life" as the
most subtle bit of propaganda recently
from Hollywood against the American
Negro and his fight to prove his suf-
fciency and fitness as an American
citizen.
Rev. Whites criticism came on the
eve of the third successive weekly run
of this p~hotoplay at the Alhambra
theatre following a one weeks stay
down town. The picture, starring
Louise Beavers and Fredi Washington,
has established somewhat of a local
record; crowds have surged in and out
Of the theater foyer for the past two
weeks and on many occasions not even
standing room has been available. The
theatre management has tried to ac-
commodate its clients by advising
matinee attendance.
In view Of this vide interest Rev.
tor, flayed the current Universal film
had caught the fancy of so many
theatre-goers. He saw it twice and
then read the Fannie Hurst novel
from which it was adapted. At
last weeks services he announced
that his sermon for the following
week would be on Limitation Of Life"
The local press played it up during
the week. Sunday morning the big
gest crowd in many a Sunday came
out in the rain to hear the message.
Play a Paradox
"The picture at first struck me as
being quite impressive. It was not al
together true to life, it certainly was
entertaining and the characters were
splendidly costumed. Upon second
thought, however, | felt that there vas
something definitely real and also
something definitely unreal about the
performance. 1t was no more than its
title suggested-a mere imitation Of
life. l observed that the producer had
displayed some courage, which is
more than they usually do, but not
enough for the production to be en-
tirely realistic. Unfortunately, he had
to keep an eye upon the box-office.
Consequently, he sought to preserve
intact the white mans concepts of So
cial equality; but in so doing he ig-
nored the many common human pas
sions, sorrows and sufferings the in
tensity Of which makes man for the
moment forgetful Of social and anti
social barriers and prejudices."
What could have been more real
istic or even human, he pleaded to his
audience, than for Miss Bea, the white
mother made rich by Delilah's ingen-
uity, to suggest that her daughter and

MINISTER RAPS "lMITATlON OF
LIFE" As SUBTLE PROPAGANDA

Bea, Delilah and Elmer are planning
to incorporate their pancake industry.
TIE scene closes with Elmer's laconic
Characterization of Delilah, "Once a
pancake, always a pancakell" "Deli-
lah is not a goth century Negro" con-
tinued the minister. "She's a thing of
the past. She represents the Negro
as an under dog. And she is subser-
Went because she wants to be and
not because of the white man. Such
a psychology shows that the Negro
is unfit for proving his right to Amer
lean citizenship"

Peola, Delilah's lone child, be sem a.
way together to some good school
rather than alone to some good Col
ored school? At the beginning of the
funeral procession what could have
been more natural than for Mss Bea
to have taken Peola into her arms
and onto the same seat in her car with
the rest of her party rather than per-
mt her to sit with the chauffeur?
In other words, there is definite
propaganda against the negro. Rev.
White summarized these points under
three heads. In the first place, "An
Imitation of Life" teaches that we are
insufficient as Negroes to make our
contribution to American citizenship;
in the second place, it stresses the in
ference that Negroes are by prefer
ence subsequently attached to white
people, leaving the problems of the
world to rs solved by others; and in
the third place, it pictures the negro
as content to go to heaven in all his
glory.
The first point, according to Rev.
White, represents the most subtle bit
of propaganda in the %photoplay. 1t is
the psychology of an inferiority COM
pick, indicating that the Negro as
such is socially and intellectually un-
fit to make his contribution to society
and that before he ever will be in a
position to do SO the Negroes chief aim
should be ito be white" to emulate,
if unable to assimilate, the white
mans mental, social and ethical atti-
tudes.
"We must combat this type of
mechanical psychology" asserted Rev.
White in a pleading and commanding
voice. ut is just what the white mar
wants us to be,-weak, flimsy, and
contented. Perhaps, this psychology
characterized the masses of Negroes
in the 18th century. My message to
the young people of this country is
for you to forget the lessons inferior
ity complex which your elders have SO
well learned and to free yourselves Of
the incidents and experiences inherent
in the development of such a complex.
Pe0la Is Unreal
"Peola is unreal-stic, a myth. There
are no such Negroes who would give
up wealth and respect simply to be a
white cashier. Thousands and thous-
ands of fair complexioned Negroes go
over to the other side each year for
the sake of better economic livelihood,
but there are millions of other fair
one who remain among US proud Of
their affinity and who contradict each
day Of Their life the doctrine that the
white man is superior simply because
he is white.
Rev. White paused for a moment.
Then he directed the attention of his
congregation to the scene where Miss

GOVERNMENT
To PURCHASE
MORE SILVER
Still More Than Billion Ounces
Behind In Its Schedule To
Obtain Is To | Ratio

WASHINGTON, April Il. U.P)-
The federal government has ac-
quired approximately 413,500,000
ounces of silver under its silver re-
habilitation program begun nearly
a year ago, the treasury reported
today.
The treasury announcement was
made Immediately following the
rise in the price OF domestically
mined silver to II cents an ounce.
The previous price had been ap-
proximately ga Il cents an ounce.
AT the same time the senate ag-
riculture committee called for man
datory silver purchases at the rate
of 50000,000 ounces a month until
the silver price reaches a ratio of
l6 to l with gold.
The treasury silver figures show
ed that the government was still
more than a billion ounces Of sill
yer behind its goal of ultimately
acquiring sufficient silver to bring
silver stocks to a third the value
of the gold stocks.
oOlQ STOCKS now amount TO
$8,6O7, ,04l ,288, making the silver re-
quirements $2,869, 100000. To in
crease silver stocks to this value, the
government must acquire total
of 2,220,000,000 ounces of the metal.
At the present time the silver
stocks amount to 1,104 100000
ounces, leaving 115,500,000 ounces
yet to be acquired.
The silver price rise was hailed
by Sen Key Pittman Dem) New
ada, as conclusive proof that
the administration intends to car
ry out provisions of the 1884 silver
purchase act.
Pittman, leader of bloc of west
ern senators seeking rehabilitation
of silver as money, but opposed to
various inflationary programs, told
the senate MI Roosevelt had an

he would exercise his authority un-
der the silver act.

ern Tennessee this. afternoon, after
a luncheon at Jackson, with Presi-
dent r. A. Jones at the head of the
procession, and from reports receiv-
ed at the chamber of commerce, the
entire trip has been pleasant and
profitable as the itinerary prepared
for the trip called for many stops
along the route, and old friendships
were thus renewed. The delegates
have been enthusiastically received
by hotels, chambers of commerce
and city officials who have shown
every evidence Of eagerness to sup
port the Broadway of America.
Convention headquarters, it is
understood, will be the Hotel Her
mitage where a public reception
will be held for the delegates upon
their arrival.
