have proved most interesting to the
membership.
The uses to which flowers have

most amazing, ranging from poultices
to shoe polish. Such program will
awaken appreciation of plant-life and

Some more garden resolutions for
the year 1887:
To grow something new this year
not just a new variety, but a genus
entirely new to my garden. The ex-
perience itself will be ample recon-
pense, and if the new acquaintance
proves real asset, so much the bet
ter.
To plant greater quantities of plants
| love, so that l may have them in
masses, instead of ineffective little
dabs.
To try to keep ahead of the weeds.
but to accept the situation philosophy
cally if they win. Full-time weeds al
ways have the advantage over a part
time, weekend gardener.
"The year comes, the year goes
What need to comment loud or long

And autumn in cricket's song;

Dropped in April's hands and broken?''

There are three remedies avail
able. The parents of the aggrieved
children should contact the teacher
in an endeavOr to convince her of
the unwisdOm, to say nothing of
the injustice, of her attitude.
These parents should become
members of the Parents-Teachers
Association. In that body are many
white persons as bitterly opposed
to having prejudice injected into
their sons and daughters as any
colOred parent could be and in the
third place, if all else fails, carry
the case to the superintendent of
the schools. He, / am sure, will in
vestigate.
Above ALL I would say take ac-
ton. Do something. Protest in
justice wherever it shows and do
this first before you ask anyone to
do it for you.
Where there is opportunity to
join such bodies as the Parent
Teachers Association our mothers
should hasten to do so. Not only
will this give ground floor, first aid
to the children; it can help to edu-
cate white parents to a knowledge
of the many unkind and unneces-
sary things done to make living

ThePeOple
Speak
Observation-Disclosures!

To the Editor:
Much has been said about the
help that was or was not given the
Negro during the recent flood ca
tastrophe. I heard several race
members give their opinions, the
general trend of which went some
thing like this, "Why should I give
to the Red Cross? 1t is not help
ing the race" None other than
narrow-mindedness and extreme
ignorance could prompt a state
ment such as this.
Comments of this type should be
condemned for the obvious reason
that they only serve to add fodder
to the brightly burning fires of
race hatred. Of basic Importance
is the fact that if we do not first
help ourselves we cannot expect
others to do so. Why should they?
1t may be true that every Negro
flood refugee did not receive aid
but a large portion of them did.
That single thing is of vital i'm
portance.
Because of the existing preju-
dices in this country directed to-
ward the Negro it is 8 pected that
he shall be exploited TO some ex-
tent; but it is upon this point that
race members constantly harp, dis
regarding the other side of the pic
ture completely.
Their point of view can be fully
appreciated up to a certain degree
but taken alone it stirs up a bitter
one-sided attitude. Further ex-
pounding of these thoughts helps
destroy the efforts of broad think
ing Negro leaders and liberal whites
who endeavor to establish better
relationships between the races.
There are many items of a far
more worthy cause which can be
agitated against but it seems that
in the aforementioned case effort
was expended in the wrong direc-
ton.

of the Negro.
The cOlOred people, as a whole,
I believe, will vigorously oppose the
control of the Supreme Court by
this president or any other.
Last week there came to our Of
fee a disquieting report. A Mime
apolis school teacher hearing her
class in the study of Negro history,
slyly encouraged the white children
in such attitude and expression as
would unduly embarrass and hu-
initiate the colored children in the
class.
Negro history as taught in the
public schools presents little but
the fact of Negro slavery. Nothing
of the many fine contributions the
Negro has made to the upbuilding
of the United States through his
labor, his music, his valor, his &C
QUESTION of land and property, edu-
cation and achievements in the arts
and sciences; so it becomes a sim
pie matter for an unsympathetic
teacher to bring to light only those
things that reflect little of which
the Negro may be proud. And that
is what this teacher did, to the keen
discomfort of her colored children
among her pupils.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-02-26

Mr.. Roosevelt in the November
election, there is in the back of
every Negroes mind the thought
that the president has consistently
refrained from any such action and,
further, the conviction is that he
should have done so with, let us
say, the insistence wittR which he
has sought to change the constitu-
ton of the United States through his
government reorganization plans.
Few of US believe the president is
deliberately reaching out for die
tatorial powers; we are convinced
the American people would not
stand for it even though this proved
to be the end of his ambition. There
is still in the thinking of the col
ored group a grave doubt of the
wisdom of the presidents propos-
ais.
1t must be conceded that should
the executive be given the power
to appoint six new justices of the
Supreme Court, they would be Dem
Ocrats, most of them from the
south. They would have the south
ern antipathy to any legislation ia
vOring the Negro; any such legis-
latiOn would be declared unconsti-
tutiOnal. There would be the i'm
minent possibility of the multiplying

stitutiOnal prohibition of such ac-

HERE and
THERE
By W. NJ. Smith

At a recent party of grown ups
where young peoples games were
furnishing the amusement, one of
the women was asked to tell ''What
would you do if you were presi-
dent?" Of course a humorous an
swer was expected. But after a
moments hesitation the lady re-
piled, eff I were president I would
stop the lynching of our people in
these United States" And for a
brief moment there was complete
silence, for all present realized that
the answer contained dynamite.
It is undoubtedly true that if any
Negro were president of this coun-
try that is exactly what he would
first try to do. It is also true that
all believe that if our present ex-
ecutive made this the objective of
his "must" legislation an anti
lynching law would be enacted this
session of congress.

ASBURY PARK, N. j., August S.
Despite a strained back that forced
him to withdraw from two events,
David Burnstine, New York, will team
with Oswald Jacoby, his -Four Aces
partner, today to defend the national
masters contract bridge pair cham
pionship.
A playful pat on the head was the
cause OF Burnstine's injury. Wit
nesses said the pat was administered
by Henry Chanin, New York, as the
pair stood talking over play in the
American Bridge Leagues eleventh
annual tournament Tuesday after
noon. Burnstine, leaning against the
wall, was of balance and fell to the
marble floor in the corridor of City
High School. The strain developed
yesterday and Burnstine remained in
his hotel room.
His place with Jacoby in the finals

ship, which was won by Edward NJ
Cook, ir., Upper Darby, Pa, and John

The Four Aces selected Charles H.
Goren of Philadelphia to substitute
for Burnstine in the first round OF

team, which also includes Howard

tenth at the end of the nights play.
