follows: I'VE think this is the prac

Not only is there a double expense
in dual system of education, but
the minority group always suffers
gross inferiorities In every phase of
the educational as well as the eco
nomic program.
"The educators indicate their
agreement to our plan BY their deaf

we waiting for? Why don't other
organizations contact us with your
support in following up this move
ment?"
Church Criticism
The church is not afraid Of criti
cism. Proof of this is seen in heal
thy criticism of itself The Rev. Ell.
B. Jackson, writing in the Christian
Index, official organ Of the G. M. E.
Church, says under the caption,
What About IT,"
This subject has as its objective,
the plight of our Ns.:s i9n PREACHERS
and their welfare. 1t is obvious frotl
the reports that are read at each
Annual Conference One hears i
brother read: Assessed pastor, $500;
paid pastor $3.50. What on earth can
man do with $3.50 for the whole
year, when insurance, clothes, food
school books, medical care, and
many other things that are needed
for the protection Of that family?
It IS a disgrace on any organized
body, to sit supinely by and make
no efforts at all to correct the ex
listing conditions Our church cannot
do her best work without the whole
hearted support of her humblest
Mission preacher. Every preacher
who gets less than $1,000 per year,
and | mean Mission preacher too;
should have his salary supplemented
by the Mission Department, SO that
the least he would get would be
$1,000 per year. There is no use say,
ing that it cannot be done-because
wherever there is will-there is
a way. What about it? Well, some
fellow will say, we have provided
for that in our Discipline. 1t is true
that we have that provision written,
!, but what good is law, il it's not
carried out? Every year we have
poor preachers who come to the
Annual Conference on borrowed
money, and worse than thatthey
have to even borrow money to get to
their various charges. What about
lit? ...

Alabama Unrerentant


1t would appear, from the decis-
ion of the Alabama Supreme Court
on Monday in the case of Haywood
Patterson, that the Scottsboro per-
secutors, high and low, are still I'M
repentant. Notwithstanding the loss
Of their Lieutenant Governor-pros-
ecutor By the hand Of death, and
the exorbitant expense piled up on
Morgan county, the case must go on.
The State high court denied every
point cited by counsel Of Patterson.
There has been some talk Of
compromise in this case. We are
glad to note that some of the lead
ing organs Of opinion are against
such method of settlement. The
Catholic organ, America, says.
There can be no place for such
compromise in q well ordered State.
Ii those men are guilty, they should
be hanged; if not, they should be
freed. The only compromise, then,
which justice can countenance is
abandonment Of this prosecution by
the State"
Burbonism is dying hard in the
South, but it is dying. 1t remains
only for the embattled protagonists
of reform to keep up the fire until
the Old Guard drops is tell ard
sinks away. This may not be aeh.-
eyed soon; and it may be achiev q
sooner than we expect. The day of
social justice is definitely dawning.

The student paper Of West We.

daily says:
4sThe burning Of the administra-
ton building Of Blueield State Col
lege reminds US that it is time for
this state to become broad-minded
and admit the Negro to all West Va.
colleges.
mol Mol, screams the prejudieed,
The Negro as a Negro is all right,
but keep him where he belongs.
1--WE let our prejudices and our
race egoism get the best Of US. We
want to treat the Negro right; We
want him to raise his standard Of
living, but we refuse hundreds OF
our high school graduates the oppor-
tnitv Of attending college away from
| home.
"Certainly, West Va. students
ara as broadminded as those of the
North, and we wouldn't dare charge
our scientifcally-minded faculty
members and state educational lead
ers of being narrow-minded, They
have no objection to admitting the
Negro to college classrooms with
other races.
1--WE must remember that Neg.
roes didn't ask to be colored and it's

To be white. The people Of his state
are just as intelligent as these OF

up, encourage our Negro friends

Athletics at iIber-
lorce UnlO. Changed

WILBERFOReE, o., June 25, Dr..
D. q. Walker, president Of Milbel
force University, IN keeping wigh
recommendation in his annual re
port to the recent meeting of the
Board Of Trustees, that the control
Of athletics be brought directly into
the hands Of the school administra-
ton so that there will be some
responsibility placed somewhere
announced the appointment of Prof.
Isaac Lane as graduate manager of
athletics.
Pres. Walker in making tie
change stated the Athletic Associa
tion was more than S700o.0o iii
debt and creditors had threatened
school authorities with legal action
to collect amounts due.
Reorganization Of the athletic
department, it is reported resulted
from a report BY the North Cen raj
Association of Colleges and seeon-
dary Schools that the athletic prae
tices Of the university were un
sound. This deficiency was mention,
ed as one of the reasons the school
had been denied aecredidatioa by
the North Central, and President
Walker had recomm Ended that stens
be taken to remedy the situation.
ITO this end" Pres Walker stated
"a graduate manager Of athletics
should be secured, under whom al
forms of athletics would be placed,
with the coaches being assigned to
the coaching Of the various branches
of athletics through direction Of the
graduate manager snd a small, com
petent, reliable committee, function
ing as representatives Of the admin
istration."
Prof. Lane will have an advisory
committee Of three men to assist him
in directing the university's athletic
program this fall. phe new commit
tee is composed Of Prof. Mack III.
Greene, of the physical education
department, Prof. Charles L. Points,
director Of the school OF commerce,
and Prof. Il. N. Pyrtle, teacher Of
biology. Dean e. Champ Warlick
will serve as chairman Of the com
mittee, with voice IN the commit
tee deliberations, but not vote.
The advisory committee will be
asked to select coaches for various
branches of athletics, including
football, basketball, baseball, track
and boxing. All coaches must be
teachers and members of the gen
eral faculty.
The creation Of the graduate
manager position and appointment
OF the advisory committee, function
ing as representatives of the admin
istrations automatically dissolves
the former Wilberfofce athletic
/ committee, headed by pr. ]. Aubrey
Lane as chairman.
The advisory committee has ao

The auditorium of the St. Mary's Nurses home was filled to capacity last evening when the three-act comedy, Green Stockings" was pre- sented by the graduating class of St. Mary's hospital training school for nurses.
 An amusing and intriguing plot was cleverly worked out by the va rious characters in the play. Miss Eleanor Murphy, playing the role of Cecelia Farraday, gave true to life portrayal of the spinster sister of the family who after years of iibing by members of the family transforms herself into an attractive and appealing young lady. The embarrassing situations caused oy a white lie" in which she announces her engagement were made most realistic by the emotional actions Of Miss Murphy.
 The Farraday family lent ample support with Miss Margaret Corey taking the part of the father, Will jam Farraday, J. F., whose anxious endeavors to rid himself of his maiden daughters gave the audience much enjoyment. The younger sis ter, Phyllis, who although newly engaged herself, shares the thrill oi her sister, Cecelia's troth, was well played by Miss Margaret Synnott The older members of the family one already married and the other
