NAACP SILENT
ON ANTI-LYNCH
PROPOSAL. MADE
BY THE PRES.


NEW YORK - The proposal OF
President Roosevelt that the famed
federal G-Men be sent to lnvesti-
gate lynchings and report the facts
to him, to the Congress, and the
general public, was greeted with little
or no comment by the National As
sociation for tn advancement OF
Colored People here.
The President made his sugges-
ton at a press conference March ~.
According to the account IN me
New York Times, he said he already
had suggested such procedure TO the
Attorney General, under whom the
G-men work. In the account Which
aDneared i'm the New York Herald
Tribune, it was stated that MI.
Roosevelt said he had transmitted the
plan to Congressional leaders, i'm
plying that a piece Of legislation
would be drawn embodying the White
House ideas.
ssThe NAACP is not able to COM
ment on this proposal" said Walter
White, secretary, "because we have
nothing except a report Of the re-
marks of the President in press
conference. When and If a speca-
fc LII il drawn and introduced in
Congress, we will have something
definite to go on. As it is now, we
do not know whether this statement
is Just an idea and suggestion Of the
President, or whether it is to be
translated into legislation. Fur
thermore we do not have any details
The bill, if drawn blythe Admins
tration, may be something very dit
ferent from the press statement O
the President.

however, that while an investigation
of lynchings by fedeal agents woult
be valuable IN that it would cstablisl
authoritative data, free fsom tht
taint Of propaganda, as basis TO
action, the crux Of the lynching prob

CHANGERS URGE
SCHOOL COURSE
Campaign in Progress at Do
yer to Have Vocational Ag-
riculture as Subject
SENTIMENT DEVELOPING

A campaign is now in progress
to have vocational agriculture
course added to the curriculum of
the Dover high school. Members
Of the Dover Board Of Education
have been interviewed on the mat
ter and a survey of the area has
been made to determine the posi-
bic number of students available
for the course. The campaign has
brought forth that there is also
considerable opposition to the es-
Establishment for such a course in
the local schools. The opposition
seems to be based on a number of
reasons, the most important being
that the Dover school at present is
not equipped for the addition Of
such a course Members of Cap
ital Grange recently adopted res
olution urging addition of the
course on the ground that great
number of pupils in the Dover
schools reside in the rural districts
and need this training in order to
make agriculture their life's work.
Persons who have investigated the
matter have learned that with the
present crowded conditions exist
ing in the local schools it is virtual
ly impossible to add any additional
courses to those already offered at
the school. Those who are oppos-
ing the addition of this course in
the Dover schools also point out
that Caesar Rodney high school
has a vocational agricultural
course that has been in effect for
a number of years and is also Civ
en- high rating among the schools
of the State and that students de-
string this type of education could
perhaps procure better course at
Caesar Rodney rather than by the
creation of a new course in Dover
where the materials for instruction
would be lacking as well as the |
projects for demonstration work.

have reappeared nearly 700 years
after his martyrdom and fought
with the famous crusader, Godfrey
of Bouillon, at the battle Of Antioch,
and to have revealed himself to
Richard the Lion-Hearted at the

The Act of Thinking

The act of thinking is extremely
formidable, as neurologists describe
it. Under q microscope, the cere-
.bral cortex is seen to be made up of
a vast quantity Of tiny cells, some
apparently the ends OF long nerve
cells passing up from underlying
white matter, others long cells ly-
ing parallel to the surface. These
latter are believed to be paths Of
association. Through them, says a
writer in Literary Digest, various
sensory impressions stored in
'memory"-that is, other cells-are
connected. Something we see, hear
or smell may prod a whole series
of cells into consciousness, creating
a memory picture, swaying our
judgment, driving to suicide or
showing how to make $1,000,000.
