people experiences and information
as well as amusement which the
church has neglected or has not the
knowledge or the skill to impart.
A great deal of money, of labor
and of study have gone into our
community houses in St. Paul and
Minneapolis and this is a very OPP
perfume time for US to think seri-
ously of the work they have under
taken and the results they have at
tanned in terms of improved chill
dren, better citizenship in terms of
the men and women who visited
them, and of their usefulness to the
communities that support them.
Take the case of the children.
From the little ones who can do
little more for themselves than cry
when hungry, the nursery depart
ments of these houses care for
them so fully that it is doubt
full if the mothers of the in
fants could themselves equal it.
And this care frequently enables a
mother who works to go to her job
with mind relieved from care
knowing her babies will be proper
ly looked after during her absence.
Surely for this our settlement
houses should have more of our
regard if not our cooperation. And
as these children grow larger and
capable of learning other things
they are taught the good manners
they should learn at home or at
church and ofttimes learn at neither
home nor church; they are taught
craftsmanship rather than sport;
taught not to lie or cheat, taught
to value victory that comes only
from honest effort; taught to ap-
preciate the things that invite cul-
ture and increase the joy of per-
sonal contacts. And for this we
should be grateful.
The older people, too, are going

HERE and
THERE
b W. II. Smith

The Fall days are upon us
more important in the drastic
changes they invite than those of
any season of the year.
Summer, with its time of lazy in
dolence, has come to an end-vaca-
ton for the children has ended
also. School invites them and US
again to take up the routine of our
duties. Fortunately for the little
people government insists that
they attend school until they ac-
quire at least the foundation for
the education that should be theirs
we must keep our children in
school until they reach 16 years at
least. This may be a hardship for
many parents; it's a godsend for
the youngsters.
The old furnace is crying for the
aid we have been too engrossed all
summer to give it. It makes a
world of difference whether or not
we are prepared to meet the cold
days that are just over the hill
when the leaves begin to fall as
they do in September.
One of the most important
changes that impend with the end
of the summer is that the settle
ment houses renew, for the seasons
ahead, the valuable functions they
put aside with vacation time.
Some of our churchmen have
claimed that the community houses
are taking the children away from
the churches. And that, of course,
is not true. What they really are
doing is to give to these young

ANTI-LYNCH BILL CRUX OF PROBLEM

Nothing that could happen would be of vital i'm
porance to Negroes than the passage of the anynch bill
scheduled for action at the coming January session of Con-
gress.
IT, when passed by the Congress- it does not yield for
accused Negroes the expected protection it's proponents
white and black confidently expect it will yet declare in
unequvoca language the determination of the American
people to outlaw this and brutal custom of death for
accused but not convicted of crime.
Lnchng has stood the greatest bar and threat
to progress and security of the Negro group.
It is this threat that has hindered ordered pro-
test and organized action against the disregard of the cons
uOna right of Negroes in the exercise of the franchise
freely used in most southern states.
This fear of lynchng has been the foundation upon
which the south has built it's Jim Grow laws and customs.
Not only have the restrictions imposed upon southern
Negroes by these entrenched CUSTOMS worked to the de
repercusons have tended to influence adversely the aggres
sive actions of people everywhere.
Until Negroes vote in the south the powerful in
uence that might be engendered politically is parayzed.
Until he vote he will have effective voice in the
distribution of educational funds that today work unjust
ly against the forward march of his young people.
Until he vote he must continue to ride in Jim Grow
accept Jim Grow treatment in the places where he
spends his money freely but without benefit
Before he from the inertia inherent in his
southern environment there be real progress for him
there elsewhere.
At the very base of all these weakening surroundings
lies the haunting fear of sudden violent death he
to against their retarding and limiting effects
the hope of removing that fear through the power
full fiat of the national that has inspired for
those who have worked earnestly and perssenty for
antiynch law visioned for the immediate future

eve Remember the S. and A"
Summer is over. The corn has
turned brown and the goldenrod
has had its usual quota of sneezes.
Might just as well face it and get
busy shaking out the moth balls.
The Melancholy days, the saddest
of the year, will be among US and
what will the shut-ins do then?
We would not be quite so con-
cerned about the as and A" if the
record of the last few weeks could
be kept as low as it now stands at
the closing of the summer season.
Of course we are depending on you
folks being very sane and sanitary
and whatever else it takes to re-
main healthy over the Labor Day
holiday.
Although our work is enjoyable,
we are glad to see so few confined
in hospitals. We had very few pa
tents to visit in Minneapolis Gen
eral last Tuesday. Archie Givens
and Oliver Phelps will no doubt be
released before our next visit.
Alexander Knoontz still has a
swing for his injured leg. He won't
be able to swing it for some time,
although it is doing nicely. Horace
Ray, propped up in bed surrounded
by friends, seemed happier than at
our last visit. Walter Dixon's
condition has improved somewhat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Harpole and
new baby boy are all doing fine.
Mrs. Harpole was our only patient
in the 20 B" ward. Mrs. Jewel
Thaxon was our latest patient.
Over in the Annex, where we are
not allowed to visit, we inquired of
Annette Lawson. She is improving
satisfactorily.
Mr.. Bill Bailey seems better
after having some days Of illness
at his home. Miss Thelma Stovall
has returned from the hospital
again and remains on our list of
ailing. Little Alma Foster con-
tinues her trips to the doctor for
treatments for the burn on her
back.
