and the goose-stepping of little
boys in Italy and Germany, and
far more wholesome, at our end.
There are few men and women
of today who cannot remember
joyous games with the little

horses-and I hope that among
those who remember are Mrs.
Roosevelt's boys.
There was a verse in one of

taken away, outlawed, or what
ever it is that is planned? AS

Semble the great maneuver plain
Of Salisbury, and you never saw

the decorations and uniforms of

Thousands of grown-up chill
dren from all over the country,
including myself, came to New
York to gaze rapturously at
those tin soldiers on parade. A
lot of little children came there,
too, in hopes of seeing some
thing. A few were lucky enough
to be hoisted on the shoulders
of the grown-up children. The
rest of the tots had to go home
disappointed. They couldn't see
over the heads and the grown
up children wouldn't get out of
the way.

What's the AnsuOer? ?

For several years Howard Uni
versity has presented Miss Mar
ian Anderson in recital in Wash
ington. For two years the Arm
strong High School was used.
Last year we were successful in
securing the Rialto Theater.
To be sure of meeting expense,
the university needs some audi
torium that will seat 500 people
or more. Our experience proves
that there is sufficient demand
from the general public to fill
an auditorium seating 1900.
Persons in charge of the con-
cert for Howard University have
attempted to secure Constitu-
ton Hall. The management
has advised that the Daughters
of the American Revolution
have required restrictions to
be put in all contracts that no
Negro artist may be presented
in Constitution Hall.
Howard University has enough
to do without engaging in extra
curricular reform activities. The
question arises personally, how
ever, whether there are not a
sufficient number of persons in
Washington and vicinity, inter-
ested in Miss Marian Anderson
and what she represents, to
impress upon the Daughters Of
the American Revolution that
this restriction may not repre-
sent public opinion in Washing
ton. Or does this restriction
represent public opinion in
Washington?
