it. The next day we saw lad at our

decorations. The community tree was a
beauty. Clyde Shipley and Mr.. Shoup,

SCHOOL BOOK
TKEAIMEN
OF NEGRO TO
BE AIRED

COLUMBUS, O.--The manner in
which the achievements of colored
Americans have been omitted or dis
torted in the textbooks used in the
public schools will be the subject Of
one of the principal addresses ut the
29th annual conference Of the
NAACP here Thursday night, June
80.
DR.. Charles Edward Russell, fam
Gus writer, lecturer and member Of
the board of directors Of the NAACP,
will deliver the address. For many
years DR.. Russell has been fighting
to correct the misstatements and
omissions in school textbooks con-
cerning the Negro and the Civil
War and Reconstruction periods. He
IS at present member Of COM
mittee of the board of directors Of
the NAACP which is conducting a
survey of textbooks used in the pub
lie schools.
Dr.. Russell reports that some text
books do not mention the Negro at
all and that any pupil studying

nurses, and the regular supervision
OF doctor, place where the sick
can come to be cared for, and where
babies can be born in sanitary sur
roundings. To build this six-room
clinic and operate it one year will
cost the small sum of $4,000.
What is the American Negro GO
ing to do about it? Let me tell d
story to represent my conviction.
Joseph was sold into slavery, and
forgotten as dead by his brothers.
Years afterwards, he revealed him
self to his brothers, who feared he
might kill them. But he said, .'It was
not you who sent me hither, but God
who sent me to preserve your life.o
And SO | believe that God had
more in store for the American Ne
groes than slavery when He permit
tenn them to be brought to America.
In his good time, He freed them.
He permitted them to acquired the
great civilization in the world, to
learn the English language, the
greatest vehicle of communication
among men. to embrace the Christ
ian religion, the greatest spiritual
dynamic God has given to men, and
to learn the elements Of the greatest
economic and social system invented
by men. For what? To take back to
his brethren in the fatherland-to
help lift Africa. The American Me-
gro must go to the aid Of the white
missionaries in this great work Of
promoting Christian brotherhood,
Two hundred million Africans call
on the Negro Of America to come
over and help them. Will we go?
Will we send? That is the question
Tomorrow the Negro in America
may need the African.

As I'M the case of the American
Negroes, the most hopeful sign Is
that of the missionaries. The frs
missionary came to South Africa in
1886, two hundred years ago, but
was expelled after seven years
work. None came until 1791. Since
then more than twenty missionary
societies from Europe and America
have operated in South Africa. They
have reduced the language Of the
Natives to written fcssl, translated
the Bible, catechism, hymns, ETC.,
established churches and schools,
and started the Africans to civiliza-
tion. American missionaries start
ed these more than 100 years ago.
The American Negro is doing his
part. A small Baptist mission ex-
lists there, but the principal work is
done by the A.M.E. Church, which
started in 1898, when Bishop H. M.
Turner held the first Annual Con-
ferences at Pretoria and Queens
town. Since that time, ten other
Bishops have gone to South Africa
and fifteen other missionaries.
Ihirtv-four young people have
been brought to America for educa-
ion. The work has extended from
Capetown to Nyasaland, 5000 miles,
and 1000 miles from the Atlantic
Coast to Lorenzo Marques on the
Indian Ocean. There are over |, 100
presiding elders, 356 ordained AME
ministers, 1900 evangelists. There
are 10 schools and 405 school teach
ers, and over $4,000 scholars,
At Wilberforce Institute, in the
Transvaal, the AME Church has the
only Misunderstanding college IN all
South Africa with a black man at
its head. Last year, we took four
American trained people to teach
IN this school, with Professor Amos
j. White, a Harvard graduate as
principal This year, we propose to
take Professor j. Roosevelt Coan, q
Yale graduate, to open the school for
training preachers, because we can
train six in Africa for the cost OF
training one in America.
The AME Church has done much
A
for the spiritual Improvement and
the intellectual advancement OF the
African. Our next step is for ply
sical improvement of the people. For
the death rate is terrific. Malaria,
tuberculosis, pneumonia, and infant
diseases take heavy toll. Six out
of ten babies die in the first year and
in some places eight out of ten.
Youth in the prime Of life are cut
down by tuberculosis. At Evaton,
where we operate a school, there are
10000 people with no medical SER
vice at all. 1T costs $500 to get a
doctor and most men do not make
$500 a whole month, while women
do not earn this much in six months.

First, let me thank the Columbia
Broadcasting Company, and the di-
rectors Of wings Over Jordan for

. subject nearest my heart.
In 1892, Christopher Columbus, in
his search for sea route to India
discovered America. For many years
before Columbus, adventurous ex-
plorers, led by Prince Henry of Por-
tugal, The Navigator, had been push
ing southwark down the west coast
of Africa. In 1886, Bartholomew
Diaz discovered South Africa; IN
I497, Vasco da Cana rounded the
Cape Of Good Hope and reached the
Indian Ocean. A few years later,
Magellan circum-navigated the world
by way Of South Africa.
South Africa is in the temparate
zone, where they have winter when
we have summer, and its time is 3
hours ahead Of the Cleveland time.
The white man was slower de-
yeloping South Africa than America
chiefly because South Africa IS twice
as far away from Europe. However
the discovery Of diamonds in 1871
and sef gold in 1886 brought hun

 Buckley, Republican state cen-
 tral committeeman from the 35th district, an attorney, practicing at Hartford but residing at Union, ap- peared before the grand jury as a witness March 30, April and May 31. There is little doubt that the check facsimiles were in the posses sion of the jury at that time.
 Buckley Just Saved
 Because of the scathing criticism which the jury heaped on Buckley in it's report, it was rumored that only the statute of limitations saved him from being included with the 32 who were recommended for arrest. He has declined several invitations to resign from the Republican state central committee.
 The jury, in its report, stated, Equally prominent politically and also active as lobbyist was Major John Buckley, until late in the 1937 session member of the Liquor Con- trol Commission. During the 1885 and 1897 sessions of the General Assembly Major Buckley received between $20,000 and $25, ,0O0 for lob- bying services, the major portion of which he retained himself after hav- ing made distributions of relatively small amounts to Harry E. Macken- zie and certain others. All of these distributions were in cash. Buckley received approximately $15.0o0 from a small loan society for lobbying services in connection with the Small Loan bills alone, pending be- fore the 1e35 and 1897 sessions of the General Assembly. It was in connection with these bills that Major Buckley appeared before cer- tain committees of the General As- sembly in violations of Section 6286 of the Connecticut General Statutes which specifically provides that no salaried commissioner of the state shall appear for or in behalf of, or in opposition to any measure pend- ing before the General Assembly or any committee thereof"
 Another Pinkerton Bill
 Pinkerton's National Detective Agency, of Hartford, has rendered another bill, dated May 31, and call- ing for payment of $387 on an item of services and expenses. A previous bill which has also been approved, called for payment of $28523.
 Indication that all subpoenas are not being served by the Amen is included in the bill of Deputy Sheriff Edward w. Morrison of 179 Bradford street, Stamford. Under da..c of June IA, his bill calls for a total of $1O including the following items: Ser vices-investigation at Stamford, $5; service of subpoenas at Stamford $4.35; telephone and telegraph, $65".
 Typewriter Bill
 Approval is also given a bill from the Rose & Morton Typewriter con- pany. It includes rental of a type
