CALVIN'S DIGEST
BY Floyd ]. Calvin
'Mr. Washington"

NAA' washing ION
, We have read with some sur
prise the speech of DR.. Howard w
Odum of the University of North
Carolina, at Tuskegee Institute on
Monday, May %, in which the
speaker constantly referred to the
late DR. Booker T. Washington
| founder and first principal of Tus-
kegee, as "Mr. Washington" Our
surprise is occasioned because it is
generally thought that the south
ern white man would much prefer
to call a Negro Doctor" that mis-
ter" The honorary degree of Doc
tor of Laws" was bestowed upon
Booker Washington by Harvard
| University, so in good conscience
any one might refer to him as Or.
Washington"
However, to see a southern white
man, liberal though he is, deliber-
. ately use the term mister" before
Negro students when he might havo
easily used the commonly accepted
term of Doctor" is just another
sign, to us, of the growing spirit
of liberalism in the South. With
Senator Bilbo currently raving a.
bout he will never. call Negroes
Mister, and trying to ship them
Off to Africa, it is quite encouraging
to those of us who plan to remain
here in America and continue the
fight for Improvement along the old
lines to see this relenting on a
point that is still a bone of con-
tention in too many quarters
! While he lived, Booker Washing
ton was, to the southern white man,
Doctor" Washington and "Profes-
sor' Washington. 1t would probably
amuse him to know that at last,
nearly Is years after his death,
he is publicly, before Negro youth,
and to a southern white man, "Mis
ter Washington.
Educational Outlook"
For many months we have obser-
we'd the monthly publication, "Na-
H.tional Educational Outlook Among
Negroes" issued from 1920 Lamont
Street, N. w., Washington, D. c.
Last year we noted that the A
merican Teachers Association made
this journal its official organ.
Perusal of any issue of this ma
gazine will convince one that it
deals adequately and scientifically
with the educational problems of
the Negro group. It has depart
ments on Adult Education, Religious
Education, General Education, Vo-
cational Education, Kindergarten

DEPENDS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

The National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, has in the past twenty
five years. carried to the United States Supreme
Court 3 cases affecting the Constitutional Rights
of Negroes. OF this number only has been
lost.
This is fine record and of which any
people might well be proud 1t is well to remem-
ber too that when the Association began it's fight
to for Negroes their Constitutional rights
there was strong sentiment against Negroes and
much bitterness against the formed organi-
zation. This bitterness was not only found among
those of the white race, but in many places among
the colored people

part gave their services free and established in
the minds of the people their willingness to dc
something to advance the cause of all the people

THE WASHINGTON HIGH
SCHOOLS CLOSES
By Charles G.. Iryin0


The Washington High School will close Mon
day night with record Of which the citizens of
Raleigh may well take pride according to a state
ment from Prof NJ. W. Akcns, the principal The
class is not aa large last year, but those grad
uating he Thinks better prepared to meet
the problems Of i.e AMI 10 enter college than
those in prev ious years.
The curric: !nsn has been broadened, both in
he literary field and that of the trades. A closn
supervision Of the physical needs have been given
and the health and general welware have been safe
guarded more this year than any year before, the
principal stated.
The supplement voted by the citizens has en-
ablei the school to regain its place in the South
ern Association of Schools and Colleges, thus Civ
ing our students opportunity to enter any col
e9e without examination.
There remains, however, much to be done be-
fore the school will meet the full requirement of
the present day needs and the principal and teach
ers invite the suggestions and assistance of those
who know ways of improving this harassing sit
uation.
In the face Of the p t move
ments, there have naturally been unpleasant mo-
nents, thar have disturbed the organization and
caused embarrassment to the teaching force and
the publc. One)of these was the fire that burned
the roof and threw out of organization the whole
system. In this disorganizaticn only one day was
lost and not single child suffered anv physical
handicaps because of the fire.
Children will lie children, according to Mr.
Aikens. and there have been from time to time
need for disciplinary measures which have been
given in every instance with the best interest of
the children in mind, the principal stated.
Two incidents near the close have brought a.
bout much public discussion. They were the re-
aIt atiO IF Ctuda Of tlo
teachers and the dischargng of pistol in the
building. In keeping with its function public
servant, this paper made an investigation of these
two incidents and found were dealt with in due
and that the two students were summarilv
dismissed with the approval of the superintendent.
The problem of discipline, even in the Army
is great problem. and is that must be ap
preached with understanding of tie situation
surrounding those disciplined. There are all clas-
ses in public high school and not foretell
what the students will do. Those who commit Of
fenses must be dealt with not with an iron hand,
ting them for society. They must not be thrown in
Jail, pushed back into the streets. Many of
them have no parents interested enough to lead
them in the paths of righteousness and the
sponsbilty of shaping their lives rest solely up
on the public schools. This makes the task of the
school all the perplexing and requires for
bcarance and tolerance upon the part of the citi
There ought to be a more active Parent
Teachers Association in which the problems of
the school could be aired and in which in
teligent approach could be made.

he is.
Looking at the photographs taken
the other night at the Madison
Square Garden Washington's Birth
day meeting held by the Deutsch-
Amerikanischer Bund, one wishes
there might be some tacit under
standing among cameramen and
newspapers not to give priceless pic
torial advertising to the NaZi propa-
ganda organization, which masque-
rades in the United States in the
garb of American citizenship. Photo

when both speech and assemblage
are as provocative and subversive as
the insolent outbursts of Fuehrer

While many members of Congress
agree with Representative Martin,

bund, with its uniformed storm

on the traitorous, the consensus in
the Capital is that it would be un-

they're given rope enough, they'll

During 1856, when the Ger
mans gorge rose to the boiling
point over pro-ally sentiment in
the United States, the Berlin
foreign Office issued its notorious
warning to Ambassador Gerard
that Washington would better
watch its step, because there are
100000 German Americans in
your country" Even more famous
is Jimmie Gerard's reply to Under
secretary of State Zimmerman,
hero of the malodorous German
Mexican invasion plot Quoth our
shirt-sleeve Ambassador: "Yes. Mr..
secretary, we do have 100000
German-Americans, but we also
have 100000 lamp posts" AS a
matter of fact, after we entered the
war 99k per cent of our citizens of
German blood proved themselves
unqualifledly loyal to the allied
cause. The point in recalling this
story Is that Fuehrer Kuhn unques-
tionably realizes there is limit be-
yond which Bund effrontery would
do we'll not to 60. He knows from
this weeks experience that, while
constituted authority will lean
backward in according to Ameri-

they are entitled, national patience

reaction to the Madison Square

Some misapprehension seems to

many, Hungary and Poland. Such
acknowledgement took place some
time ago. 1t provoked violent pro-
