Thinks We Should Have
School Teachers?
Cecil E. Newman,
Editor.

Editor:
note by the public press that
DR.. d. E. Webster, president of
the Springfield, Illinois, N. A.. A.
C. P, has launched a campaign
having as it's objective the employ
ment of teachers of our race in
the public school system of Lin
coins home town.
was pastor of st. Paul church
in Springfield four years. When
/ note that the president of the
Springfield Board of Education, in
explaining the attitude of the
Board, acknowledges that teachers
of our race group should be and
eventually will be employed and
suggests an intensive public edu-
cational campaign in an effort to
arouse favorable sentiment in ia
vor of the employment of Negro
teachers, / have come to the con-
clusion that I would be a traitor
to the cause of race progress if
I did not pass on to our community
leaders the suggestion that we i'm
mediately begin to do all in our
power to make a place for our
boys and girls in the public school
system of the Twin Cities.
Twelve years ago we began this
agitation in Springfield. The prog
ress made there within ten years
has been marvellous. For in Lin
coins home town not a single NOV
ing picture show was at that time
open to people of our race. I'm
less within the Twin Cities a posi-
tive forward movement is inaugu-
rated, the forces of prejudice, dis
elimination and segregation will
gain ground in this fine free north
land. I suggest that you would
be the proper person to immedi-
ately attempt to arrange for a
conference of our community lead
ers within the Twin Cities. Look
ing toward the consummation of
this matter.
Very truly yours,
VIM. E. Guy.

with instructions impress these things the consences
of their followers the @ the millions of Negroes
who suffer continuously and acu from the due to their
unprotected political state all of this talk just much tommyrot
For it must be conceded that without the ballot the situation of the
Negro will be unchanged though the prosperity of the country
developed to point never before reached
So continue people with keen questioning
the records of the who seek the legislative halls the
who and do something about crucial
situation Let's quit being led by the Let's look facts in the face

HERE and
THERE
BY w. M. Smith

/ have expressed in this column
many times the admiration I feel
for that intellectually honest and
unusually courageous columnist,
George Schuyler, who writes week
ly for the Pittsburgh Courier.
l have often felt the sting of
his biting sarcasm for some of the,
perhaps, outworn beliefs r have
still held dear and l have seldom
felt the urge to tilt swords with
him because of the clarity of his
reasoning and the unanswerable-
ness of his declarations. But there
are times when l feel it more I'M
worthy not to express disagree
ment with his announcements
than to meekly accept all that he
says.
Such time came for me when
I read in his column of two weeks
ago his bitter denunciation of Ne
gro plays such as have been hold
ing the boards in many play houses
and appearing upon numbers of
screens in late years.
Mr.. Schuyler believes none of
them are worth while, that all of
them are caricatures of the Ne
gro and that support of them by
Negroes only goes to show our
natural inclination to bow down
to anything the white man ap-
proves. For that reason he never
attends a showing of such plays
as "Porgy," Emperor Jones" or
"The Green Pastures" satisfied to
find justification for his beliefs in
the reviews carried in the press.
With none of this can I agree.
In the reasons I set down l am
seeking no argument with Mr..
Schuyler; indeed, he will in all
probability never see what I have
written, but for the purpose of
justifying the joy and the satisfac-
ton many thousands of the Negro
people have taken in the delinea-
tions of Negro artists upon the
American stage.
agree with Mr.. Schuyler that
the purpose of most of the plays
here cited and of others not named
is to wiring laugh at the comicali-
ties of the black man. But / con-
tend that the laugh is on the white
men who, paying for a laugh, are
really paying for the talented ar
lists of the race to develop their
abilities and helping them to be-
come more proficient in the art
of depicting the joys and sorrows
of the human race to the point
where their serious consideration
may no longer be denied.
My mind goes back a year or so
to the death of Jesse Ship, the
dean of Negro actors and produc-
ers. knew Ship as a boy when
he and three other young men
sang in the beer gardens of Gin
cinnati for the beer they could
drink and the nickels that were
thrown to them as pay for their
entertainment. If all of us had
thought as Schuyler now thinks,
Ship and his comrades could have
continued to sing for beer and
nickels instead of progressing and
making possible the acceptance of
Negro artists upon the stage. Ship
had no illusions. He knew that if
he succeeded in his ambitions he
would have to accept the only way
the white man was willing to grant
the way of the buffoon. So he be-
came a minstrel; learned stage
technique, learned to dance,
learned to do the things expected
of him and to do it more artist
cally than it had ever been done

All the Negro asks is that the door which rewards industry
thrift intelligence and character be left wide him

No Negroes are among the en-
ployed personnel of any of these
breweries. Don't spend your money
with firms that practice race dis
elimination in the selection of their
employees.

In his Garden dressing room discussing Lou Ambers, the light weight champion, Jimmy McLar- min bore no marks of the battle except a slight cut on the bridge of his nose.
 T wish Jimmy had been as good as Barney Ross as he was for the Ambers boy" said Pop" Foster, McLarnln's manager. "The two fights he has had under his belt year made a whale of a differ ence in his timing and boxing. Too bad we can't get Ross next. But our time will come-and when we do meet Barney again it will be different story
 McLarnin looked good in giving the lighter Ambers a sound facing as well as an artistic boxing les son.
 T guess the showing Jimmy made against the speedy Ambers proves that my boy is not too old for the fight game" Foster comment ed. He merely needs more work than he has had in the past cou- pie of years to keep his legs in shape
 McLarnin's fine comeback against Canzoneri and Ambers paves the way for a fourth meeting with Barney Ross. Ross was success full in two of their three encoun- ters. First Ross won the welter- weight title from McLarnin, lost it the second time they met and regained it in their last meeting From The Mail Bag

ing of Elmer Oliphant, one of the greatest lineplungers in football. Oliphant was great football play CT at Purdue before he donned the moleskins at West Point and wrote one of the most brilliant chapters in Armys gridiron history. His amazing deeds in the Army-Navy and Notre Dame series 20 years ago won him place among the Ca- det gridiron greats of all time. The note carries an added thrill because Oliphant was one of our own boyhood heroes. Today, Oli- phant is an executive of large insurance concern and, while the passing years have matured him he still looks fit and capable of blowing through a line for long gain.
 Paul Dee, captain of the Man. haitian college cross country team, takes time out from his studies to write: "A note of expression of my sincere thanks for your kind ness expressed in your recent drawing of me. This was one pleas ure had hoped for in deep cor ner of my heart these seven years under Coach Peter Waters. Its fulfillment has been well received and appreciated again-thanks ever so much"
 Dee Develops
 It is a pleasure to watch boy like Dee develop into an athlete capable of leading his teammates in intercollegiate competition and to recall how, as a spindle-legged prep school youngster, he reported to Coach Waters with ambition to became track star. He had little to recommend him seven years ago. Weighing slightly more than a hun dred pounds, he looked so frail that his coach ordered him to take cod liver oil for a while before attempt- ing any sport as strenuous as foot racing. One would hardly recog- nize the boy today-his athletic efforts have produced amazing re- suits in his physical development.
