CANNON .SENIN AIRY MAKING RE-
CORD IN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP

Of standards SET up by its Com
mission on Accreditation. After
careful examination Of the charac-
ter Of work done at this institution,
Cannon has been placed on the ac-
credited list Of the A. A. T. S. It
is the only theological school for
Negroes that has such rating.
There are many special features
in connection with the work Of this
institution. The first is the Stewart
Missionary Foundation for Africa,
which exists to encourage inyestiga-
ton, to spread intelligence, to in
crease offerings and personal con-
secration, and to train leaders in
the interest Of Christian missionary
work in Africa. The Foundation
also shares in the work of "The
Foundation and fosters inter-col-
legiate essays, hymn-writing, and
oratorical contests. The work Of
the Foundation is an Integral part
of the educational program at Gam
mon. It is interesting to note that
the Stewart Missionary Foundation
is the only organization of its kind
IN America, maintained for the
training of Negro Missionaries to
Africa.
The second feature is the Women's
Department. This Department, for
Women Workers who wish to pre-
pare for a more specialized type OF
Christian lay service, was establish
ed as d cooperating effort between
the Seminary and the Women's
Home Missionary Society OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church. An
other feature Of interest is the offer
ing Of courses in Race Relations, In
recent years, d very definite inn
provement has been noticed in race
relations in the South Atlanta,
with the headquarters of the Inter-
racial Commission, has been found
to be most promising and fertile
field for the fostering Of better IN
terraeial relations
The Thirkield Leetureship was
established in 1896 by the will Of
the late Bishop Thirkield, who has
provided d gift Of $4,000 for its en-
dowment. His provision for this
important lectnreship represents his
expression Of unbroken interest Of
many years in the Seminary, and
the program for the training Of Ne
gro ministers. The students have
the rare privilege of listening 70

to whether that particular style will
be becoming, We ail want to be

Shoes with platform soles are de-

-. AiSA 1G1So, SdiNi4l oGiSIcG ---ADOuL
fifty-eight years ago, Bishop Henry
White Warren had the vision Of
establishing a theological seminary
for the training Of the moral and
religious leaders Of the Negro race.
The name of Mr.. Cannon, of Bata-
via, H., was suggested to him as
one who was interested in the uplift
OF the Negro race and likely to see
the great Importance of the plans he.
had in mind. With great zeal and
persuasion, the Bishop presented the
matter to this great philanthropic
layman, who after further confer
ence and deliberation, made an ini-
tial gift of $4,000 for the establish
ment of Biblical Department in
Clark University. Money for the
erection Of Theological Hall was
then needed, and the Bishop agreed
to raise $4,000 for defraying the
expenses which would result from
the undertaking of such an enter
prise. The Rev. Wilbur +. Thir-
kield, then a young minister from
Cincinnati, and later Bishop, was
secured as the first teacher, and the
work was actually begun in 1883.
From this small beginning grew
mighty institution, for as the work
developed, Mr.. Gammon's interest
increased and his gifts multiplied.
He became so pleased with the work,
that he eventually established an in
dependent Theological Seminary,
well endowed for that day, with
good faculty, well-rounded curricu-
lum and adequate housing facilities.
Rev. Thirkield was made the first
President. From the time of its in-
cipiency up to the present day,
about 1000 students have attended
this seminary.
Situated as it is in Atlanta, Ca,
Cannon Theological Seminary is
in the midst of the greatest system
in the world for the education Of
Negroes. 1t is also an outstanding
institution for the training Of the
Negro ministry. Although this in
stitution is maintained BY the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church, it is nom
sectarian in its policy, and aims at
giving the young people who seem
to be called to the ministry and
Christian service, an adequate pre-
paration for the all-important task
of religious leadership.
The extent of the broad and ef.
fective service which Cannon has
rendered through the years may be
gauged by the following list Of posi-
tions which her students have cred
itably occupied: 5 bishops, 131 dis
trict superintendents and presiding
elders, 739 graduate pastors, 8Ob
non-graduate pastors, 13 secretaries
and general church officers, Is col
lege presidents, 10 college profes-
sors, 9 missionaries, 3 Bible society
secretaries, and one editor of q
church periodical. Today, the SEM
mary is under the eminent leader,
ship Of Rev. Willis Jefferson King,
Phi D., who also heads faculty that
is composed Of individuals Of stall
wart Christian character and high
scholarly attainments. This faculty
has been very instrumental in gain
ing for Cannon accreditation by
the American Association Of Thco-
logical Schools. The latter organi-
zation comprises the principal theo-
logical schools in the United States
and Canada. and parallels similar
agencies in the college and univers-
ity field. One Of the chief functions
of this association is the accrediting

Story Just Amt So

KENMORE, N. Y, Feb. 10
G.N.SO.-Girl quits job, leaves
State for love of her dog. Gee,
it sounds like a swell story, but
gosh, it isn't true.
Eleanor Ailinger, 23-year-old
brunette and pretty technician at
Sisters of Charity Hospital here
likes her Great Dane, Symbol,
we'll enough, but today she dis
counted the dog-appeal yarn that
she is quitting the State because
of a law prohibiting ownership OF
a dog with cropped ears.
CRUELTY CHARGED
On January %, Miss Ailinger
was arrested on complaint of the
Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. A court gave her until
today to get the dog out Of the
State and Yesterday she resigned
and prepared to leave with the
dog.
But Symbol had little to do with
her decision.
IT was planning to leave here
anyway" she said today. I'm
going to Cleveland. Ohio"
And that's another Story,s for
Symbol was the gift Of a boy
friend in Cleveland.
xTVN,rS p0NrANrr
Symbol, boy friend and
Cleveland all seem to tie in to-
gether nicely-does it mean
anything in the wy of-er-
romance?" She was asked.
This is a lovely day-one OF
the incest we've had" said Miss
Ailinger and laughed merrily.
She added I've got relatives in
Cleveland"
Incidentally she also added
thot she had nothing to do with
the bobbing of symbols ears. The
Great Dame already had them
clipped when he was presented
to her seven months ago.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 0.N.S..
Dazed by his predicament, William
King, Broadway saxophonist,
moodily paced his cell in the
Tonbs today as he awaited a re-
sumption of his hearing in homi-
eide court next Monday in connec-
ton with the "gin-party'' Staying
of Mrs. Harriet Brown Nielsen,
former Pacific Coast diving cham
pion.
A medical examiners autopsy
has established that the 37-yea-.
old Mrs. Brown had died as a
result of a "homicidal assault" in
her furnished room early Tuesday.
She had sustained numerous in
juries and fragments of a broken
bottle were found nearby.
ADMITS HITTING HER
In the police lineup King, who
is As and whose real name Is Will
liam Lotus, admitted punching
Mrs. Nielsen after she struck him
with q bottle.
Now that he is faced with a
murder charge, the unShaven,
disheveled King has instructed his
lawyer, j. William Jarshower, to
do all he can to locate his es-
tranged wife, Lillian. King wants
to be united with her and their
child.
He hasn't seen his wife since he
filed q 100000 alienation of af-
fections suit against psychiatrist
in 1888.
King said he had known Mrs.
Nielsen about three months. He
met her Monday and they went to
her apartment with a quart and
a half of gin.
SLEPT AFTER ROW
He declared he fell asleep after
their quarrel. He awoke next
morning to find her unclad body
on the floor beside the bed.
According to DR.. Milton Hell
perm, assistant medical examiner,
death was due to an abdominal
hemorrhage, following a trau-
matte laceration of the liver" He
said the injury was caused by a
blow and could not have resulted
from fall.

learned that any number of red caps

be protected by four elephants and
