Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

1 picked up a pamphlet in the Of
fee of the Minneapolis Urban
League a day or two ago that
should have a very definite inter
est for the youth of this cOmmu-
nifty as well as for parents. and
friends of young people.
1t was issued by the national of
fee of the league and asked of the
youth of the race what its chances
are for a job when school days are
over.
Discounting the hindrances of
prejudice, segregation and the ten
dency of withholding places from
young Negroes it declares there is
still an opportunity for satisfac-
tory placement if the applicant
prepares now to make himself or
herself efficient for the job desired
through education and training. 1t
points out very clearly how this
can be done.
My first reaction recognizes the

Some Of these. days

IT'S tiny legs were too short to
IL reach the bellows Of an old
family organ when his self-educa-
ton in music began in Amesburg,
Ontario. He mastered the keyboard
while an older brother pumped. At
sixteen he was earning his living
as a piano player in Detroit, and a
few years later he was a celebrated
colored vaudeville star-both pianist
and comedian.
Between shows = backstage he
would sit at the piano, hours at a
time, improvising melodies. Early in
1910 he evolved melody which he
believed should become popular
song. Vainly he sought words for
the appealing tune, until one day,
lunching in cafe near the vaude-
vile house, he was thrilled by, the
dramatic valedictory Of girl who
cried as a heartbreaking farewell
to her sweetheart: Some OF these
days you're going to miss me,
honey!" The rhythmic goodbye was
of a pattern with his melody. In
less than an hour he had completed
words and music Of his song, and
Some Of These Days" was on its
way to become a great American
popular song hit.
For twenty-eight years it has
been sung through complete copy
right period, and in 1888 its COM
poser renewed it's profitable copy
right for the second twenty-eight
year period. Meanwhile he had writ
ten: "Darktown Shutters Ball, :"
JEAN" "All Night Long" "Walkin'
the Dog" you Amt Talking To
Me, Honey Gal" and many others.
He became a member of the Amer
lean Society Of Composers, Authors
and Publishers.
While vaudeville lasted he was q
headliner in America and Europe.
With the collapse of vaudeville, he
became a famous night club enter
tainer. He is familiar figure in
New York City night life, lives in
Brooklyn and is an authority among
musicians on the development Of
jazz and swing in modern music.

great advantage the youth of today
has over those of quarter of
century ago. These had no wide
spread, capable organization to
offer it's protective oversight to the
children of that day. No national
unified effort to assemble vital i'm
pOrtant facts and the knowledge
and experience to place these so
helpfully and impressively at the
service of its people.
My next thought is to add a little
further argument and a few adj
ditiOnal facts to the leagues pre-
sentatiOn which of necessity is
brief and confines itself to the need
of preparation.
The present economic situation
seems to justify our young people
in leaving school at the earliest
possible moment for job that can
help the boy or girl give some aid
to impoverished parents in the
grilling struggle for existence.
The thought does them credit,
but the method fails in it's Objec-
tive. / have in mind a young and
unusually bright young woman
who has elected to take that way,
The money she is able to earn now
seems most desirable and undoubt-
edly it is helping greatly in meet.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-07-15

ing the situation of the moment.
But ten years from now she will
still be laboring at poorly paid
job. Her earning capacity will
never increase. She will find that
if she and her parents had con-
tinued. to sacrifice for the educa-
ton and the training for one of
the places the leagues letter points
to her abilities through increased
fitness and greater skill will en-
able her after that period to earn
many times the amount of her
present income, more than repay
the investment of the years of
preparation and the sacrifices en-
tailed, to say nothing of the more
satisfying atmosphere of her sur
rOundings. ..
In communities as small in Ne
gro pOpulace as these Twin Cities
the disposition is to say there is
no possibility of using educated
trained people of the group. That
may be true for the present. 1t
will not always be so. In the
meanwhile there is no need for our
youth to center its ambitions and
it's outlook within that narrow
circle.
Just because there is ample pro-
fessional skill in the fields of
medicine, law and dentistry just
now in the Twin Cities, is no rea-
son to forget there are IA millions
of our people in these United
States who can and who will alb
sorb all the professional skills we
can develop for years to come.
There are 5000 Negro patients
for every Negro physician in this
country, far greater number than
the best endowed doctor can prop
erly care for. 1t is, in fact, three
times the number the average
white physician has. In the field
of dentistry the outlook for the
skillful prepared dentist is even
much better. There are states in
the South where hundred thou
sand people of the Negro group
must depend upon such service as
one man can give.
We have developed the belief
that professional person must
be doctor or a dentist and these
professions must be followed in a
big city. Nothing is farther from
the truth. Our people are growing
in numbers in wealth and in the
need for and appreciation of
trained help in many fields.
Negro business is reaching out
into territories of which our ia
theirs did not so much as dream.
We are able today to use all the
trained personnel our schools can
provide. Like the rest of the peO-
pie of our country we are begin
ming to demand skilled competent
workers in supplying our increas.
ing needs.
In the biggest business we have
developed, that of insurance, the
surface of its possibilities has
scarcely been scratched.
In this business and the associ-
ated business of banking and in
vestment there are employed less
than 10000 persons. They car
easily use 100000!
In the list of possible fields Of
employment the National UrbaI
League submits to the Negro you'll
of today are: Accountants, actors
architects, artists, auto mechanics
bakers, bankers, BARRIERS, black
smiths, carpenters, cartoonists
chauffeurs, hairdressers, jewelers.

black someone's boots, run on
someone's railroad, that is your
own business. But don't try to
make yourself believe there are no
other fields open.

Poetic Thoughts
Head of the Family
BY NORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

/ sometimes wonder and then don't know
Who is the head or has the best go,
For when you want to find out quick
Just let member of the family get sick.
Two heads better than one, it's said
But just the same, when you go to bed
A decision at last must be made
By the head who still is supposed to lead the parade
Everyone may like to be head in principle if not in fact
Cause then they think here be chance for back talk
It's only when authority is divided between
The one who is king and the other who is queen.
But when it's all said and done,
The woman knows she'd rather have the man run
AS head of their castle wherever it may be,
The job of getting bills out of their face continually
