At Harvard the brilliant Felix
Frankfurter ruled his classroom
with an iron, though beloved
hand. When he thought that a
student was making muddle-

till the end to offer criticism.
With an abrupt remark such as
That's nonsense, or an imper-
ious gesture, he broke into the

IN NEW YORK
BY GEORGE ROSS

NEW YORK - Paul Vincent
Carroll whose Shadow and Sub
stance" struck like a bombshell
last season, gave Broadway an
electric occasion with the OPEN
ing of his new play, THE White
Steed. "
Again Mr.. Carroll dramatized
the conflict within the Catholic
church in Ireland, and again the
critics received his play with
universal enthusiasm.
And SO the Irish schoolmaster
who was a S15-aweek Glasgow
teacher until Shadow and Sub
stance" brough riches and fame
to him has scored again. Plays
of spiritual quality are not sup
posed to be box office" Yet Mr..
CAROLS plays. which are more
concerned with the soul than
with worldly affairs are smash
hits on the Rialto, labeled in
story and song as the hardest
artery in the world
He has given up his school
master duties in Glasgow's slums.
Forfeiting the compensation of
fifteen dollars a week is no
longer hardship. He has moved
his family from tenement
quarter to more comfortable sur
roundings and has lavished few
pounds on sundry luxuries that
he never dreamt of a few years
ago. But in all other respects,
the Glasgow dramstist reveals
no visible signs of his new-found
affluence.
Though the royalties pour in,
the tall, gaunt and bespeckled
playwright occupies m es t
room at the Algonquin - the
same modest room he reserved
when he came here virtually
penniless. He has several new
items of clothing and a refur-
bished tuxedo testifies TO the
position he has gained in the
world of the theater.

District Attorney, Thomas Z

The week before, we saw

as rapturously al the Gilbert &

KELLY MILLER SAYS:
A Classical PedagOg

A Classical Pedagog
Meet Professor George M.
Lightfoot of Howard university,
a classical pedagog. Prof. Light
foot was born in Culpepper CT.
House, Virginia, some seventy
or so years ago, and was educat-
ed at Howard university and
Williams college. Immediately
upon graduation he was appoint
ed instructor in Latin, Howard
university in 1891, and has been
continuously engaged in this per-
suit up to his approaching re-
tirement next June. / believe he
is the only Negro educator who
has been continuously engaged
for so long a time and in such a
high station as instructor in the
Latin language. During this time
he has had under is tuition an
uneqalled number Of Negro stu
dents on the college level, in this
ancient tongue.
During Professor Lightfoots
early days in Howard University
as we'll as at Williams college,
fully one half of the time was
devoted to the study of Latin
and Greek. This tradition was
carrie forward until the end OF
the last century when the rise
of the physical and social science
crowded the classical studies to
a minor place in the curriculum.
1t is needless now to discuss
the justification or folly of the
predominancy of classical studi-
es in the Negro colleges, for that
day and generation. Suffice it IS
to say that the northern mission
aries who founded these schools
and colleges brought to them
the chief nourishment upor
which they themselves Had fed
Youth from New England farms
were consumed with a burning
zeal to study latin and greek a

Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-09-15

It was rather early in the evening.
A young woman was driving alone
west on Fifty-seventh street. AS
she neared Ninth avenue she slowed
because the light was against her.
Stopped by the light at Eighth ave-
nue., she reached for her bag, which
had been on the seat beside her.
It was gone. So were various iden-
tifcations, highly important bunch
of keys, $40 in cash, new compact
and all the rest of the equipment
a woman carries in handbag. The
bag was new and quite expensive,
a birthday present, in fact. Think
ing it might have bounced out of
the car, she drove back as far as
Tenth avenue. She had no luck.
Then she recalled that when she
had slowed down she thought she
heard the door click. So she made
a report to the police. So far moth
ing has happened, not even her
identifications and Worlds fair tick
ct having been recovered.
They work fast, do those sneak
thieves who specialize in stealing
from motor cars on the west side in
midtown. Usually they are small
and eel-like and much the color of
shadows. Sometimes they operate
in pairs. One, either on pretext of
Mping the windshield or by other
means, abstracts the attention of the
driver. That is all that is necessary
because if there are two persons in
the car, the thieves remain in hid
ing. While the driver is watching
one lad, another either softly opens
the door or reaches through win
dow, gathers up whatever is loose,
quietly drops off and disappears.
Lone workers creep onto running
boards and wait for an opportune
time to get in their work. Lone
women are favorite victims because
women leave purses and handbags
on the seat.
