CENSUS OF ALASKA MAY RUN
 WELL OVER 5000 FOR l94o

Mel Horner, enumerator TOT Che 49fo census taking now underway in Alaska was count ing the popu1ati ion of Moose Pass and vicinity for several days this week. Mir.

 Mr. Horner thinks Seward will go we'll over 1,009 in population and he says that if other sections of Alaska have in- creased in population to the extent that his district has increased since 1880 and he thinks they have the l94o popula- tion of Alaska is we'll over 73,ooo.

Height For The Spartans
Book Review
By Gertrude Martin

tUnated Negro PreSS)
TIE An. , .:ccs.ii Race Problem, I"
by Edward B. Reuter-; Thomas Y.
Crowell, publisher, New York City,
$500.
This is perhaps the most thor
ough discussion of the Negro prob
lem in America that has ever been
published in one volume. DR.. Reu-
ter, who is the professor of sociol-
ogy in the State University of To-
wa, has attempted to treat every
aspect of Negro life in a rounded
picture of the Negro in our bi-rac-
ial society. The author achieves
the objectivity which we expect
from scientist and we believe he
could not have been more object
i've had he been studying guinea
pigs.
This is the second edition of a
work published ten years ago, and,
save for additional facts, there are
no major differences. The author
treats of the traditional attitudes
and opinions widely held about the
Negro and accounts in large mea-
sures for their rise and growth. 1t
has been made clear in the text,
however, that practically all of
these congratulations about Negro
people cannot be supported upon
examination, and there are simply
no scientific facts to substantiate
those who argue that the Negro
is inherently different and a de-
cidedly inferior race of mankind
Here he presents clear factual
picture of Negro sex and family
life, health, crime, economics, and
religion. Social forces and not in
herent propensities are shown to
have played the major part in de-
termining the present status of the
Negro in American life. In trac-
ing the development of the Afri-
can from his earliest days i'm our
country, the author has taken into
account many factors that a host
of our pseudo-scientific writers
have overlooked or purposely ne
elected.
Only in the last chapter ON "The
Present and the Future" does the
author permit himself amy gener-
alizations and these may he re-
garded perhaps as conclusions of
the evidence presented before. 1t
is interesting that after treating
of the various solutions to the
race problem, naturalization, i'm
migration, ETC., the author simply
states: 1.-THE various methods adj
vocated by individuals and organi-
cations as solutions of the race
problem may be dismissed with
brief comment. There is no solu-
ton"
DIR. Reuter- states further that
1.-THE existing prejudice of race
and caste must he accepted as a
relatively fixed factor in the racial
situation" And he concludes on
a note which may be received by
Negroes with MIXED feelings. He
says finally, las a result of inter-
mixture the Negroes as such vi
timately will disappear from the
