Musical Recital
By Miss c. Young
A Fine Success

The musical recital, given by
Miss Clara Young, at Bethel A. M.
E. Church Friday evening, May 1,
was an artistic success and was
greatly enjoyed by the music low
ers who came to witness the must
cal debut Of one of Detroit's most
talented and ambitious young
pianists. Miss Young was assisted
by Thomas Johnson, a we'll known
local violinist.
Miss Young's first number was
Butterfly" by Greig. 1t was a
fine Interpretation of Greig's beau
tiful piano selection. "Gavotte" in
B Minor, by Bach and "The Pines"
by Mathews, proved Miss Young's
capabilities at the piano. Rach-
maninoff's Prelude in G Sharp
Minor, a most difficult number, was
played with fine discrimination
and good taste. The youthful plan
list gave a brilliant performance
and Detroit is hoping Miss Young
will repeat her recital soon so
many more can hear her.
Thomas Johnson, violinist, play
ed Massenentt's Meditation" Mel
ody in F, by Rubenstein; and can
dante Religouso" by Thomas, and
shared the generous applause with
Miss Young, for an artistic must
cal performance.
The young pianist was beautiful
ly gowned in pink net and wore a
lovely corsage, presented by the
Girls Reserves of which she is vice
president. Miss Young is also pre-
sident of the Girls Glee Club OF
Cass Technical High School, and
won this office in spite of much
bitter feeling by the white stu
dents. She is the only colored CIR
ever to hold this office. Miss Young
also a student of the harp. She
is a popular member of the Y. w

The Rise of Medicine in Detroit
(By ROBT. GREENIDGE, M. d.

Bundy attended college in cleri-
cal garb and was known as Father
Bundy" to all the professors and
students. He built up a very large
practise among the socialites in
Detroit shortly after his gradua-
ton, and was popular as priest and
physician. He was much in de-
mand for obsterical cases and
there being no Negro hospitals at
this time, many of his cases were
referred to Harper, Womans', and
Florence Crittenden Home, when
specialization became necessary,
and he held consultations with
such former professors as Judd,
Manton, and Kampermann.
DR.. Bundy numbered among his
friends, Henry Ford and the late
j. l.. Hudson. During his early
days in college, about 1909-10, he
conducted social uplift organiza-
ton known as the Douglass Insti-
tute. The meeting room was on
the first floor of Will Stark's build
ing at the corner of Columbia and
st. Antoine Street, the present pub
LEGATION office of the Detroit Tri-
bune. In this work he was aided
by Mr.. Hudson, and DR.. Bundy
many times stated that the Doug
lass Institute was the first socia
uplift experiment attempted by oul
group in the city of Detroit. Al
this same location he later organic
ed the Excelsior Pharmacy, the
partners being Ulysses Carey
! James Hillborn, and himself. Be
fore this time the only other drul

Rivard operated by DR.. Albert John
son. The Excelsior Pharmacy was
popular summertime meeting place
of medical students who came t.
Detroit to work at the Cadillac
Wayne, and Metropole hotels and OF
the d & G boats.
DR.. Bundy for a time had his Of
flee in the rear of the drug store
but in January 1916, he moved t.
the corner of Erskine and st. An.

CIVIC PRIDE CLUB NO. 2

The Detroit Civic Pride Com
munity Club No. met with Mr.
and Mrs. Buchanan, 1857 Trav-
erse avenue, with Mr.. Norris, the
chairman, presiding.
Mr. and Mrs. David McGill, or
ganizer and founder, were present.
The latter gave very interesting
talk, and reported what an orga-
nized group can do In a construc-
tive way.
The Anticipating Bill was the
main topic of discussion. Petitions
in support of the bill, were sent to
the congressman from Michigan.
The financial report Of the club
was very good. A quarterly report
to the secretary Of state will be
made next month, according to the
announcement by the sponsors.
A palatable repast was served
by the hostess, Mrs. Buchanan.
The meeting for next month will
be held at the home OF the presi-
dent, Mrs. McGill. 45S Tennessee

THE REGIS CLUB

The club met at the home of the
president Clarence Davenport, OF
Hague street, at its last session, al
the membership of the organiza'
ton being present, as follows:
Clarence Davenport, Woodbridge
Mitchell, Charles Russell, Louis
Mitchell, Bernard Lamar, Billy AL
len, and Theodore Woodson.
During the business session the
suggestion was made that it would
be to the best advantage Of all con-
cerned if the club should alternate
in having a debate one week and
the next week have a report on
some person outstanding in Negro
History.
The suggestion was enthusiastic
cally received. The first debate
will be resolved: "That Italy Is
Justified In Her Invasion Of Ethio'
pia," which promises to be very en-
tertaining.
1t was also suggested that the
club sponsor a dance in the near
future, but after some discussion
and reflection, it was decided ii
would be best to wait until school
is out when all the members can
take an active part that it might
be made a browning success.
Proceeding the business session
the host served a very delightful
reDast.

The Detroit College of Medicine,
now the Medical Department OF
Wayne University, was formerly
a private institution. All of the
outstanding medical men in the
city of Detroit contributed TO its
growth and development. Many Of
these doctors have passed on, but
there still remain in active prac-
tise several men who contributed
much to the College in its early
years. On its faculty about the
year 1910, we note such doctors as:
Hugo Fruend, c. d. Brooks, Burt
Shurley, Theodore McGraw, j. II.
Dempster, and Charles Aaron.
Internship was not compulsory
in those days in order to obtain a
license to practise medicine. Many
of the young graduates apprenticed
themselves to the more experience
ed physicians, very often a former
teacher, and gained from them the
practical experience which is so
difficult to obtain in college and
which is now taught through COM
pulsory internship. In return,
these older doctors profited much
through consultations. The E.
mergencies of general practise, SO
often battling to the young diplo-
mat without hospital internship
were often carried to his former
instructor in college for assistance
Thus was the general medical sit
uation around the Detroit College
of Medicine about the year 1910.
There had formerly been a school,
of dentistry connected with the
College of Medicine and the late
DR.. w. p. Shelton was one Of its
dental graduates. In the school
of medicine we have as early col
ored graduates, DR.. Jones of Young,
stown, DR.. Gibbs of Pittsburgh, anC
| DR.. Gary c. Smith of Detroit, al
of whom graduated about the time
190S-1910. DR.. Smith is still prac-
Using in Detroit, at the corner Of
Joseph Campau and Sherman SITS
The late George Bundy, former
pastor of st. Mathews Episcopal
Church preceding the Rev. Robt
Bagnall, was the next colored stu
dent, and graduated in 1912. DR.

year. The partnership in the Drug
Store later broke up. James Hill
burn went to Baltimore and opened
a store in the Druid Hill Section,
while IS Carey also went into bust
mes for himself at the corner Of
st. Antoine and Beacon.
The st. Antoine-Columbia Sec
ton was close to what one might
have called the centre of Negro
activities in Detroit. In pre-war
years, largely Jewish, the migration
had changed the population in the
course of the decade $1,000 to a
densely overcrowded Negro COM
munity. Across the street from the
Excelsior Pharmacy, Mr.. Taylor OF
Howell, Michigan, published the
Detroit Informer and later w. p.
Kemp at his place of business on
Antoine near Winder published the
Detroit Leader which was for many
Years the leading mouthpiece for
Negro Activities, religious, social.
and political.
| In this area we also found the
Urban League Community Centre,
Northcross Bank, Taylor Hair Goods
Store, Edwards Taylor Shop,
Hebb's Restaurant, offices of Drs.
Ernest Johnson, p, B. Gamble, and
w. p. Shelton, and the only X-ray
laboratory operated by our roup.
These are a few of the high spots,
before getting into the low spots.
Let us get back to medicine. The
Florence Crittenden Home which
was definitely prejudiced toward
colored physicians, found itself be-
ling gradually surrounded by an all
Negro population. Many public at
tempts were made to have this
building converted into a Negro
Hospital but its physical condition
was such that it would have been
a bad bargain at any price. It's
ventual surging tide of Negro popu-
lation, leaving the Y. M. G. A, st.
Mathews Parish House, Phyllis
Wheatley Home, and now the Y. w.
G. A., Detroit Tribune and North
cross Hotel, to signify the new or
der.

Do Negroes fit into a Coopera-
tive Society? This question may
we'll be asked at this stage Of de-
velopment of cooperatives III
American life, and this question
can easily be answered in the affir-
native.
BY tradition this racial group
has a valuable social and commun-
al attitude peculiarly adaptable to
the plans and program Of the CO.
operative movement. The Negro
has always been a people Of mod
est material possessions, seeking
satisfaction in family, community
and religious associations. Condi-
tons of life in America have fore
ed the Negro to subordinate indi-
vidual interest to the interest and
welfare of the whole; but the sad
part of it all is that whereas he
has been taught to assume and de-
velop that sort Of attitude, the
benefits have largely accrued to
certain self seekers who pose as
their leaders.
The Negro then has practiced
cooperation for a long period OF
time, and in whatever geographic
al area he has been found. Many
group problems of an economic
and social nature have been met
and worked out successfully and
without Encouragement. His many
endeavors have resulted in CO.
operatively organized enterprises.
Indeed because they suffer con-
slant economic insecurity, due to
the organization of our present So
cial and economic order on the
basis of white vs.. Black" a So
luton to many Of the ills inherent
in the present white VS.. Black"
system which is one Of the main
pillows of the present system. For
example the public will pay well
to see a fight with Joe Louis. With
both Whites and Blacks 1t is a
match between white VS.. Black"
leading to the supreme contest for
pugilistic championship between
"a White man Vt. Black man"
So throughout the whole system
such completes are built up and
allowed to thrive by the money
bosses so long as it pays.
Cooperatives on the other hand
seeks to destroy such vicious COM
plexes, and instead, to build up
feeling and notions Of interracial
good will, and give to the Negro
the opportunity to build, with the
help and assistance of his white
brothers and sisters, larger fields
of opportunitie for himself and his
posterity in employment and eco
nomic security eliminating chart
ty.
Wherever the principles Of CO.
operation on the Rochdale plan
have been impaired there have
developed organizations of a very
satisfactory character. Examples
of these organizations are; The
Consumers Cooperative Associa-
ton of Kansas City, The Unem-
ployed Citizens League and The
Block Unit Association of st
Louis, The Philadelphia Coopera-
tive Association, The Dayton Pro-
