MARY Mcleod BETHUNE
PIONEER IN EDUCATION

activities of Mrs. Bethune are legion
they include the founding of FLORIDA
Home for Delinquent Colored Girls,
the presidency Of the National Assn
of Colored Women (1924-28), and the
supervision of Colored workers and
staffs under the National Youth Adm.
Besides, Mary Bethune, who is init
mate with President and Mrs. Roose-
welt, threw her full support behind
Marian Anderson in the late fasco at
Constitution Hall.
Mary Mcleod Bethune considers ed
ucation a means of enlightenment and
salvation. Her influence is supreme
both in Florida and all over these
United States. She can say with pride
that all the certified graduates of her
school 1886 were placed in good
teaching positions. In fact the demand
for teachers in Florida exceeded the
supply of qualified applicants. When
we spoke with Mrs. Bethune at Sym
phony Hall, she assured us that she
seeks now to elevate the Bethune- Cook
man Junior College to a Senior status.
She seemed so earnest and apostolic
about her educational crusade. That is
why she charms and holds people as she
does. Her long career of service was
crowned in 1885 when she received the
Spingarm Medal. A tireless laborer in
the vineyard, her life exemplifies the
medieval maxim -
"Laborare est orare."

NEW YORK,-Petitions protesting
the iimcrow ban on Colored players
in the major leagues were circulated
at the local ball parks in a special
mobilization of the Young Communist
League.-"The Y.C.L already has col
lected 10000 signatures" John L..
Little, New York State Executive
Secretary of the League, stated this
week. He added that he expects the
present campaign to reach total Of
100000 signatures.
Baseball is an American game of
American origin" Little told some of
the young men and women, colored
and white, who were circulating the
petitions, "and in the main it has lived
up to sportsmanlike democratic tradi-
tions. But the unwritten law which
bans colored stars from major league
diamonds is a shame. 1t should be
recorded as a big error on the games
scoreboard."
Pointing out that colored players
would help revive the game, Little
declared that "The Yanks' monopoly
would fade when this fresh crop of
American athletes are permitted to
enter the game. The proof of this is
the excellent record which colored ath-
letes have achieved in other fields of
sports such as track, boxing, football
and basketball"
