bury. Featured with the orchestra

Burns, ROnnie Chase and Clyde ROg-
ers.
The national popularity of the
Haynes orchestra can be attributed
to their many broadcasts over the
NBC and CHS radio networks as
well as countless records make for
Victor. Columbia and the Brunswick
recording companies.

orchestra has played many of the
cOuntry's leading hotels and supper
clubs. They were a hit attraction at
the Hotel McAlpin. New York City;
repeated their Broadway triumphs
at Detroit's Athletic Club, and were
featured at many other well-known
spots including the Nut Club. New

Each year the Salisbury Lions
stage one of the most brilliant social
events of the fall with the object OF
raising funds for the many charit-

an active part. Much credit has been
given to the Salisbury Lions for
their work among the blind, which
has been made possible through pub
lie support of club entertainments.
1t is to carry on such work that the
annual Charity Dance is given.

A REVOLUTION
10

In the excitement Of looking over
the 1899 automobiles at the recent Ma
tional Automobile Show in New York,
few spectators realized they were au-
tually taking part in a revolution.
And what a revolution-bloodless
and life-saving. A vote was being taken
on questions pertaining to automobile
operation and regulation from the
standpoint of safety.
One of the questions was: (Which
one of the following has been the most
effective in making you think seriously
about automobile accidents? l. Person
al enforcement experiences, 2. Per
sonal accident experiences; 8. Safety
educational experiences" At a time
when a total of 1920 votes had been
cast, No. l stood 649, No. 2, 944 and No.
3, 1,7O4.
And there is your revolution,
namely, public understanding which
resulted from consistent and regular
safety education to show that only by
personal cooperation between drivers
and law enforcement authorities can all
tomobile deaths and accidents be curb
ed or reduced. During the past year or
two, the steady upward trend was
broken.

To the thinking citizen, who is less
interested in partisan politics than in
good government, the real significance
of this election is the revival of the two
party system, the very foundation of
the republic. 1t is a well known fact
that ever men high in the Democratic
party have looked with disapproval on

sional Republicans majorities of recent
years. And it will be remembered that
following the World War, the Republi-

faced no influential opposition, and cer-
tain abuses were the result.
This election has to a large extent
readjusted the balance of power in
Congress to the status envisioned by
the founding fathers. That makes for
sound government. Whatever party
you follow, whatever your political al

you will welcome the resurgence of an
effective political opposition as a check
on whatever party happens to control

NEGRO HISTORY WEEK

The Association for the Study of
Negro life and History sponsors the
celebration of Negro History Week.
This year it falls between February 5
and Il.
It is most unfortunate, however,
that some persons have a misconcep-
ton of the meaning of Negro History
Week. 1t shows a lack of knowledge of
the background and the present status
of the Negro to think that what should
be known about these matters may be
covered during l week. The Negro has
participated in the making of world
culture along with the other races,
which thus achieved, and his contribu-
iont requires just as much time for
careful investigation and study.
The Association for the Study of
Negro Life and History has always en-
phasized as the proper sort of celebra-
ton not the staging of a few speeches
by distinguished men. The weak should
be given over entirely, or inventory, of
what the schools and colleges have ac-
complished in these fields during the
entire year. The participants, therefore
should be those who have done the
work-not those persons placed on
these programs to amuse rather than
instruct and inspire.
Working along this line, therefore,
most of the institutions of learning
have joined with the Association in
reaching the desirable end of develop
ing Negro History Week into Negro
Year. While the Association distributes
informative literature and issues an
nually an attractive poster inviting at
tention to the special exercises sugges-
Sted for the second week of February,
it tries its best to disabuse the public
mind of any effort to dispose the Negro
in the curriculum during seven days.
Probably the most telling factor in
approaching this desirable result has

What can the Negro do to improve
his status? This question was directed
to q cross section of American Indus
tries in a survey made in 1896 by the
American Teachers Association on the
subject of "The Negro and the next de-
preston" The statements made by the
companies to the above question should
be of particular interest to members of
group and should be of great bene-
fit to US in our struggle for a more Sc
cure economic future.
While many different answers were
given, | have picked out the following
significant statements of representative
companies in each field of industry.
However, these statements should be
considered as indicative and not conclu-
Sive.

been THE NEGRO HISTORY Bulle-

been THE NEGRO HISTORY Bulle-
TIN. Nine issues are published each
year, and a special issue for February
dealing in detail with Negro History
Week is made available early in the
year. The Bulletin carefully outlines
the work for the entire year and thus
supplies a satisfactory guide for the
study of the Negro.
Beginning in October, 1897, the
Bulletin undertook to cover briefly in
the language of children the history
of the Negro from Africa unto the pre-
sent in America. Each issue had a chap
ter following in the natural order the
proceeding thought, and feature stor-
les were added for further emphasis.
Persons and events to be remembered
were scheduled from month to month.
This year the Bulletin is working
along n same line. Starting in Oct.
1885, the periodical is undertaking to.
cover in slmplified style the outstand-
ing achievements of the race. These will
finally present the important facts of
the lite and history of the Negro from
a new point of view. The October issue
dealt with oratory, the one for Novem-
Der with poetry, that of December will
treat of fiction, that of January of the
drama, and in the natural order will
com music, painting, sculpture and
philosophy.
in appreciation OF this effort made
to keep lue thought OF the Negro pc
tore The cAA4Ien curing the Whole year
the schools through une country have
cooperated very satisfactorily. The
subscription list of the Bulletin has al
ready passed the 1000 mark, and the
circulation is made up mainly of teach
ers and pupils who use the various is
sues as supplementary literature in the
teaching of social science. The tendency
has been not only to preserve the issues
as they appear from month to month
but to secure them in bound form at
the end of the school year in order that
the schools thus concerned may be able
to build upon what they have achieved
from year to year.
In the furtherance of this program
the Association must emphasize the
necessity for cooperation in the nation
wide movement not to give the record
of the Negro casual 0. nominal consi-
deration but to work persistently to-
ward the goal of offering the American
children of both races the same oppor-
tunity to study all other peoples Of the
earth. We must ever emphasize the
truth and popularize the truth in order
to free mems minds from error and
prejudice. In thus keeping before the
