PHILADELPHIA, Pa. = When
Edward Jackson and Donald Arm
stead learned last week that they
had not passed their examinations
and probably not be promoted with
the other members of their class
at Michael Arnold Public School,
22nd and Dauphin streets, they
tried to burn the school down.
The boys who were described Dy
their teachers and DR.. Henry
Broadhead, principal, as trouble
some, had been detained after
class by their teacher.
Instead of going home after they
were dismissed, the pair, according
to police, re-entered the building,
ransacked several desks in an eff
fort to destroy records and then
set fire to the building. Little
damage was done
The boys who were caught later,
were said by police to have con-
fessed. Charged with breaking
and entering and arson, they were
sent to the house of Detention.

Bishop Wright and you on this fine
building. I have examined it so

pared to say that it is one of the

There were significant glances
among the people on the platform;
for some had heard the inspector
tell the bishop three months ago,
that he did not think the building
could be well built without white
mechanics and white supervision.
And others had seen the original
specifications sent for the educa-
ton departments approval; which
read that all skilled work on the
building should be performed by
white mechanics. Bishop Wright
protested against this. But since
all buildings have to be approved
by the inspector, he had to con-
vince the Inspector that he could
get colored competent mechanics.
"I will permit it at your risk"
said the Inspector. Now that he
praises the workmanship, and thus
opens up other opportunity for this
kind of work on school buildings,
is regarded as an achievement al

ten million unemployed in the
United States. At least, because
of circumstances, five million of
these are Negroes. Most Negroes
are employed on the farms as ten
ants, share-croppers or common
laborers, and also, in some of the
industries and in domestic service.
Very few are employed in business.
Hence, the difficulty in getting
them back to work, whenever the
relief and the WPA rolls collapse,
is exceedingly impressive. The
government is employing or aiding
twenty-five million of our Ameri-
can Citizens in some line Of work.
The relief rolls and the WPA work
contain perhaps the largest num-
Der Of our people, who are other
wise without jobs. These govern
ment opportunities, in the natural
course, will soon come to a stop.
When this does happen, I feel that
we shall have an additional amount
of unemployment among the col
ored people. In fact the Negro
farmer, if a tenant or share-crop-
per, is hardly helped even now, be-
cause the land owner gets the ma
jor portion of the government
AAA funds and the Negro tenant
or share-cropper must find other
employment either in his neighbor-
hood or in some city on the relief
rolls or WPA jobs.
I "Unless the government is go
ing to continue to furnish jobs or
relief for our unemployed, we shall
have to make jobs for ourselves.
zone of the most serious things
connected with the relief rolls and
the various other government oc-
equations, is the fear not only for
the elder unemployed, but that the
younger people may become abso-
lutely satisfied with the amount
which they are now receiving from
some kind of relief or they may
become unwilling to fit themselves
for any other useful employment
outside of these government occu-
pations. If they should grow up in
this disposition, it seems to me that
the last estate of them will be
worst than the first.
what the Negro, old or young,

Texas Bankers Views
COL. WILLIAM M. McDON-
AID, president of the Fraternal
Bank & Trust Company, Fl. Worth,
Tex, says:
"In the United States where the
formula of enduring prosperity is
so well-known, so many of these
Negro people who are unskilled
laborers are idle. Because of color,
the people live from hand to
mouth, obtaining bare subsistence
from dreadful drudgery.
"The New Deal laws of the Fed
eral and State governments, as adj
ministrated, do not appear to reach
Negro unskilled workers only as a
direct dole from government. Work
or jobs are needed. Dole will not
suffice.
Negroes must learn to face the
facts, ugly though they be, and not
pin their faith to administrations
nor governmental policies that hold
out the promise of political dole"
Prairie College Official Talks
PROF. NAPOLEON B. ED
WARD of Prairie View State Col

'In my judgment the significant
development in Negro life is the
crystallization of race conscious
ness, a fuller recognition and ap-
probation of all their powers and
rights, resulting in more and better
Negro enterprises and greater OPP
portunities for employment.

There's one little item of $50 an acre,
Senator Byrd claims, for surveying"
and making topographic maps. ex-
animation of the water supply, etc.
That is, it allegedly has cost more to
survey the land than it cost in the
first place Surveying" covers the
costs on the land before actual con-
struction.
Perhaps there is a good deal to be
said for the Resettlement Administra-
ton from the viewpoint of the So
ciologist. Few would agree that the
mountaineers for whom the home
steads are intended are fine type of
citizens. Perhaps it is justiflable to
charge of quite an item for expert
ment." Even so, if these places have
cost as much as alleged-and Senator
Byrd has DR.. Tugwells own figures
for large part of 1.-THE thing is un-
believable.
The Shenandoah homesteads con-
stitute, at present, seven projects.
They are intended to house and
provide livelihoods for approximately
200 families of Blue Ridge NOUN
taineers. They are scattered through
, five mountain counties bordering the
Shenandoah National Park from
which these families are to be ousted.
Five of these projects call for cheap
farm houses-of three, four and five
tooms-with from 80 to so acres of
land. The houses are according to
. design made up by the Department
Of Agriculture for cheap farm house,
but they have been somewhat
cheapened. Such set-up is supposed
to provide family with its entire
livelihood.

About all that is left of the original
plan is the farm village. It is dif-
ferent. Whether it is practical or not
remains to be seen. It may be, as
Senator Byrd holds. repugnant to the
nature of the mountain families. It's
pretty, but local people are cynical.
They say DR.. Tugwell's esthetics and
mountaineers will not mix. That re-
mains to be seen.
Here, by the way, is where it is pro-
posed to have not only bathtubs,
toilets and kitchen sinks with running
water, but electric refrigerators. Mr.
zerkel understands that the Reset
tlement Administration is to get these
for nothing, from some which have
been salvaged by the Government

The homesteader is supposed to gain
at least half his livelihood from day

Village-Farm Set-Up.
One-the Greene County project
is village-farm set-up. Esthetically
it is the pride of the Resettlement
Administration. Practically it has
caused more controversy than all the
others and apparently was singled out
by Senator Byrd for a supposed
$4,000 community house" and be-
cause the whole scheme is allegedly
foreign to the mountaineer character.
Here is the story, as related by
neighbors. For years the United
Brethren Church maintained a school
mission in Greene County. In 1884
the mission board of the church
suffered heavily in a bank crash.
Some of its activities had to be cur
tailed. Another church had estab-
lished mission in the same neighbor-
hood, which was tending efficiently to
the needs of the people. The county
itself built f1rst-class public high
school, open to the mountain BOYS and
girls.
For all these reasons, the church
decided to abandon its mission. At
this point DR.. ReMord G. Tugwell
stepped into the picture. He came to
Greene County and saw the mission
buildings picturesquely situated on

of the farmers are clustered into a
village A man may live several miles
from his farm. His holdings may be
split up in four or five separate plots.
The system is quite familiar to Amer
ican tourists in Quebec, which has
retained the French system.
This way of farm life never has
gotten much of foothold in America.
The American system has been for the
farmer to live more or less isolated
on his own acres. The pioneer, it is
alleged, moved on to avoid the crowds
when somebody settled within five
miles of him. Locally it Is charged
that the Tugwell idea was grossly
