During the nineteen days, ne regular first team played eleven James winning eight and losing tnree, the second string played live games and won two ot them, total of sixteen games in nineteen days.
 1000 Mile Trip
 Approximately a thousand miles was covered on the trip. Fairly good weather was e Il u e d except in the northern part where snow and a cold north wind made rough going. All of the party from The Institute as well as Nick Zorlch and Al Smith, who operated the boat, lived aboard the ship at all times SIX of the boys had Dunks arranged in the hold and the rest slept i'll the regular bunks aboard ship. Lincoln Peratrovich, Louis Austin and Harry See were masters of the culinary art while the other members of the squad took turns as flunkles and the regular work about ship.
 Winning Scores
 A record oL Lne elgnL games ol the first string Ill which the lnsd- ute was victorious follows: Peters burg High, l4-27; Juneau hIgh, 45- 48; Douglas High, 33-47; Hoonan Town Team, 2O-44; Rake Town Team. 2l- Al; Klawock Town Team, 32-S7; Craig Town Team, 22-dO, Ketchikan High, 3O-53;

 Star Player Out of Game
 The only serious mishap encoun- ah game when George Gunyah, h. tered by the team was in the Hoon- stitute star guard, received broken leg. This handicapped the team somewhat for the remaining games. In both the Metlakatla and Ketchi- kan games the Institute was minus the services of it's other regular guard, Louis Austin, who also had leg injury.
 After having played all of the high school teams in the Panhandle Conference, it is the opinion of Coach Mize that Wrangell High and Juneau High will again play off for the championship. .'Jayhi has a fast breaking clever team,' he stated to- day, "and will give Wrangell a run for their money. In particular they have a sharpshooting southpaW for ward who is a menace to any oppos- ing team. Ketchikan does not as yet have a smooth working team and should be taken into camp by Wrangell High"

Better Opportunities
For Negro Education
Urged By Embree

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that
literacy among Negroes since
Emancipation has risen from five
nercent TO more than so per cent
today. Edwin r. Embree, president
of the julius Rosenwald Fund,
writing in the Summer American
Scholar, deprecates the support
given to Negro education through
out the country and says further
that the failure to provide adequate
educational opportunities Threat
ten the health and prosperity of the
entire white population. Says Mr..
Embree:
"The average for all tht South
ern states for which figures are
available is an annual expenditure
on education of $12.27 per Negro
pupil, as contrasted with $44.31 per
white pupA The value of schooi
plant and equipment averages IN
the South in the white schools,
$157 per pupil, and In the colored
school, $37 per pupil" Summarize
ing, he declares: "a modern
state cannot progress with one
half trying to go forward and at
the same time trying to hold the
other half back"

SEEK NEGRO
THEATRE FOR
MOTOR CITY

To begin the boom for a repre-
sentative Negro Peoples Theatre
in Detroit comparable to the cele-
brated Gilpin Players of Cleveland
and the Negro Peoples Theatre in
New York City the New Theatre
Union is planning to present the
dynamic play, "Stevedore" to De-
troit audiences with cast COM
prised largely of colored actors
who have proven their merit in To-
cal theatrical attempts.
Leading amateur actors in De-
troit are eagerly taking up the
challenge offered them to dupli-
cate the dramatic accomplishments
of colored groups in other cities.
Players of accepted merit like
Nimrod Carney and Clarence Brad
field, of the Roxane Players; Will
liam Hathcock, of the University
of Michigan Dramatic League; Ed
ward Merchant, of the Music Arts
and Dramatic Club; Melba Grimes,
of Nacirema Club; Evelyn Solo
man, former teacher in Dramatics
are Joining ranks to give Detroit
a dramatic ensemble that will rank
with any similar group in the
country.
Copyrights for the play, steve
dore" have already been obtained
bv the New Theatre League, which
will sponsor the Detroit presenta-
ton. A public reading of the play
to arouse interest and enthusiasm
will be held at the Lucy Thurman
Branch Y. w. G.. A. on Friday
night, June 10, at $3.50.
This attempt to organize colored
dramatic talent of the first rank
for the presentation of plays OF
professional rank on a broad po-
pular front, marks, for the first
time, a departure from the clique
efforts of local dramatists.
The presentation of so admir-
able a play as "Stevedore" calls
for a talented cast that will tran
scend the conflicts between local
thesbians and will give Detroit a
group which will considerably
raise the cultural level of the col
ored people here.
The pubic is invited to the read
ring of "Stevedore" on June IL a.
the Y. w. c. A, at 8 p. m, anc
those people who are particularly
interested in this effort to form
a dramatic club Of real excellence
are urged to attend and to give
suggestions, advice and support tc
the movement to make a people
theatre reality in the colored
group.
Messrs Naylor and Alsheler OF the
New Theatre League OF New forR
CITY will direct the presentation
of "Stevedore," and the white ac'
tors will be recruited from the
ranks of the New Theatre Union
Tentative date for the presentation
of "Stevedore" is set for October
of this year.

logical place where the informa-

in the public schools.
In alluding to the newspaper In
which the article was published,
Mr. Grigsby says:
"This paper has not raised its

In signed statement released
to the press Tuesday, S. F. Grigsby,
chairman of tn Detroit Civic Rights
Committee, takes issue with an ar
ticle published last week in one OF
the local weeklies, relating to the
object of the survey conducted in
this city, in connection with voca-
tional guidance in the education of
Negroes. Mr.. Grigsby's statement
reads in part as follows:
"The question has been raised
with the Detroit Civic Rights Com
mittee, as to whethe rthe survey
on vocational guidance and educa-
ton of Negroes, now being con-
Quoted in Detroit by the U. s. Of

foster segregation in the local pub

has investigated this survey
thoroughly and finds that there is
not single phase Of 1t that should
lead one to arrive at this con-
clusion.
1.-THE request for this survey
originated among nationally known
Negro educators and social welfare
organizations. The need for 1t was
felt, as far back as 1892 but the
money was not appropriated by the
Federal Government, until early In
this year.
This survey is being conducted
in thirty-four states, and is at
tempting to get a clear and un-
biased picture of the facilities for
vocational education and vocation
