Washington, d. Official an
nouncement that the Federal
Theatre will be discontinued and
all affairs liquidated, rings down
the final curtain on eight humid
red Negro actors, directors, re-
search workers, playwright, tech
nicians and other professional, un-
skilled and semi-skilled workers
who found employment on the rolls
of the Work Projects Admins
tration.
Colonel F. C. Harrington, Com
missioner of Work Projects, an
nounced this week that employees
of the Federal Theatre Project,
which was discontinued by the re-
Gently enacted Emergency Relief
Appropriation Act, will be carried
on the rolls for the full periods
authorized by the Act. These are
one month for supervisory and
administrative employees and 3
months for certified workers.
However, the employment of a
large proportion of the latter class
must be terminated on August 81
1899, due to another provision of

ployees will be borne on the rolls,
no activities will be carried on.
This is for the reason, Colonel
Harrington explained, that it is
not possible to operate any of the
activities of the project without
administrative and supervisory
p%ersonel.
Every attempt will be made to
transfer certified employees of the
Federal Theatre project to other
projects of the WPA. However,
it is estimated that an average of
approximately $500 certified en-
ployees will be carried on the
project for the rest of July and
during August and September at
the cost of approximately $850,000.
The extra cost of carrying adj
ministrative and supervisory en-
ployees throughout the month of
July is estimated at an additional
$4,000.

missal by that date of all relief

have had continuous employment
for more than Is months. A large
number of the employees on the
theatre project fall in this cate
cory.
This action was taken after
Colonel Harrington had been as

Meharry Holds
World Record
On Training
Negro Doctors

Nashville, Tenn. Aug. II (By
E. L. Hercules, Calvin Service)-
Of all the medical schools in the
world, Meharry Medical College is
known as the one that has done
the most in the training of colored
students for the field of medicine.
This institution is so we'll known
that it would be useless to recall
its history. Suffice to say that it
was organized in 1876 as the
Medical Department of the Cen
trail Tennessee College. On October
IS, 1915, it was granted a new
charter by the State of Tennessee
whereby it could operate as a sep
arate and corporate institution.
Throughout the years, Meharry
has turned out highly trained ply
~sicians, surgeons, dentists and
nurses who have rendered valua-
Bile service to humanity in all
parts of the world.
President Edward l.. Turner
Today, the school is under the
leadership of President Edward L.
Turner. He is ably assisted by a
large and competent staff of doc
tors, dentists, and nurses, all of
whom are interested in giving the
students a medical education, the
molds of which are adjusted to
leave their imprint upon the char
acter, social tendencies, physica
bearing, emotional and intellect
ual habits of the students. This
schools embraces departments of
Medicine, Dentistry, Nurse Train
ing, and a School for Dental Hy-
giene.
The School of Medicine is equip
ped with the most modern instru-
ments and offers all the necessary
courses. The Associate of Dean of
the School of Medicine is DR.. M.
J. Bent, who is also Professor of
Bacteriology. He has done extern
sive research in this field, and has
contributed various articles upon
the subject to numerous medical
publications. T~hirty-five students
graduated from this Department
at the end of the last school year.

BOARD, BUSINESS MANAGER
CUSTED

Philadelphia, Aug. II CAMP
Tho long-expected explosion at
Mercy hospital, one of the leading
and approved hospitals, operated
by Negroes, took place last week,
as the entire board of directors
was asked to resign, the business
manager was dropped, steps taken
to reorganize the 80 year old in
stitution.
With more alarm in what is not
said and not known, rather than
in what is known, there are rumors
of laxities in money matters and
gross inefficieneies in the admin
istrative departments of the hos
pital.
Dropped was Fleming d. Tue
ker, for 20 years assistant super
intendent and business manager.
He was given a "leave of absence
without pay for incompetency."
Others who are expected to be
affected in some fashion by the
present state of affairs are DR..
Henry Minton, beloved superinten-
dent and medical director; DIR.
Eugene Hinson, assistant director
and Miss Lulu Warlick, superin-
tendent of the Nurses training
school.
Supported by both state and the
Community fund, rumors have
long had it that Mercy was to be
reorganized, especially since the
Community fund has been finding
it difficult to raise money for all
the institutions needing it.
With the fund calling the sig
nails, a study was authorized, with
an eye to making economics. W.
A. Dent, business manager OF
Flint oodridge hospital in New
Orleans, and DR.. c. Rufus Rorem,
of the American Hospital associa-
ton, were called to Philadelphia
and what they found IS responsible
for the drastic action here report
ed.
Among the directors resigning
were two who had been elected to
the board just about two weeks a
go, and who attended their first
meeting at the time the wholesale
designations were ordered on Tues
day. These two are DR.. Leslie
Pinckney Hill, president of the
Christian Street YMCA.
Resigned, too, is the monogram
an, Archdeacon Henry l.. Phillips,
president of the board, who was
perhaps the leading spirit in the
founding of the hospital, and who
has been on its board ever since
it was started.
In an official statement, Eric
Biddle, executive secretary of the
Community fund, said that "the

great success of that venture

TO offer the course Annually. This
year the course ran from June 5
through June II. The staff mem
bers assisting in this post-gradu-
ate course are all well experienced
and highly trained in their respec-,
tive specialties. This course has
been designed to bring practical
information in utilizable form ito

that the response to this course
will stimulate repeated courses
each year, and that it eventually
may lead to longer postgraduate
courses in the s~pecialties as we'll
as in general medicine.

President Turner aims to make
Meharry ultimately gain its goal
of IAN institution second to none"
With such a conscientious, far
sighted, and energetic like him at
the helm, it is certain that this
goal will soon be attained. Presi-
dent Turner, who holds degrees
both the University of Pennsyl-
vania and the University of Chi
cago, is well known in the medical
world, have given thirteen years
of sacrifical service in Beirut,
Syria, before coming to Meharry
in 1886. He holds membership in
the leading medical associations
and societies of the country, and
has made numerous publications
in the fields of physiology and
internal medicine. This mar who is
SO deeply interested in relieving
human suffering through the aid
of medical science, is most as
suredly making Meharry second to
none in the realm of medical
schools.

NEW YORK, Aug. IL (CNA)-
Progressives in this city and
throughout the nation this week

the Negro people in two southern
states during the past fortnight.
Florida and Arkansas were the

 MT. and Mrs. Irvine J. Noble, son and daughter, are leaving Juneau after several years residence here and the esteem in which they are held was evidenced by the scores of friends who called between the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock in the af- ternoon.
 Both MT. and Mrs Noble have been ski enthusiasts, in fact all kinds of outdoor sports are enjoyed by them and they have led in the various groups as well as generally in social circles. Their home has been the scene of many most enjoy able affairs.
 MT. Noble is leaving soon for Ko7 diak, where he will be in charge of construction work of the air base, and Mrs. Noble and children will go south for several months, then north and westward.
