WELCOME, AMERICAN LEGION

Beginning Sunday, September p,
Boston viii have the rare honor of
being host to the annual convention of
the American Legion, the largest
organization Of veterans in the coun-
try. Every preparation, festive and
official, has now been made to give
Out-of-town visitors some indication
of New England hospitality. Here,
where the history Of the Republic
began, with the Boston Massacre and
the Boston Tea Party, many veterans
viii be seeing for the first time land
marks about which they have heard
or read all their lives. Thus they will
more wildly appreciate the full mean
ing Of the democratic way Of life, of
the national traditions for which the
veterans of all wars shed their blood
from ITO to 1913.
The GUARDIAN bids especial well
come to the colored veterans, who will
be represented by large delegations
from every section of the country. To
some of them who hail from the deep
South, the very attendance at the con-
vention will be a new experience. They
will learn what the unceasing struggle
of leaders like Frederick Douglass and
William Monroe Trotter against all
forms of discrimination and segrega-
ton has meant in obtaining and en-
surfing the freedom of colored citizens
of Massachusetts to attend theatres
and concert-halls, public Libraries and
schools, restaurants and hotels, with
out fear of being subjected to a color
bar against which there is no recourse
in law.
Colored veterans should be vigilant
now, as never before, to see to it that
resolutions which pay special atten-
ton to the problems and difficulties of
colored people are passed. They
should take pains to have introduced
resolutions favoring passage of the
Wagner-Capper-Van Mugs Anti
Lynching Bill and the Geyer Anti-Poll
Tax Bill. They should recommend
that the Legion throw its weight be-
hind recommendations for the equal
participation of colored Americans in
national defense, now that the Burke
Wadsworth CONSUMPTION Bill is the
law of the land Colored veterans
should show that they realize their
organized strength, and they should
give every evidence of their important
and integral part in the American
Legion.

PETER PAN HOUSE
OPENS SEPT. rs
by LOU RANSOlI)

CANTON, MASS.-The nationally
known Peter Pan House on Miss
Josephine Crawford's palatial estate
which comfortably houses over one
hundred children will open its private
school program for girls, Sept. 26,
Miss Crawford for the past few
years has successfully operated the
only private school for our girls in New
England. We are well acquainted with
Miss Crawford's beautiful summer
camp whispering Willows" which
always has had a very timely and in
teresting program for girls between the
ages Of six and twelve. Miss Crawford
this year opened a new spacious build
ing for nursery and kindergarten
children from three to five years of age
which she is happy to announce was a
great success. The Peter Pan House
has always had nursery and kinder
garten children included in its school
program each year.
The rates for Miss Crawford's
Private School are the same popular
rates for the summer season. Why not
offer the best physical and mental edu-
cation to our children when the oppor-
tunity presents itself. The oppor-
tunity is here, communicate with Miss
Crawford at the Peter Pan House call
Stoughton 288R or write to her at 808
West Street, Canton, Mass.
Miss Crawford, a great humanitari-
an is not interested in financial affairs,
but is greatly interested in the educa-
tional advancement of our race. Why
not use to the best advantage the
private excellent tutorship offered by
Miss Crawford including a healthy
winter camp program.
A few years back you wouldn't
believe that today we would have such
beautiful summer camps in New Eng
land for our children to enjoy. Per-
haps today you never thought that
your little girls would ever attend a
private school; only the rich could
afford it. Today through the thought
fulness of Miss Crawford your little
girl may have that opportunity of
private tutorship at very little cost.
Let's be a member Of the Crawford
family and give our little girls a real
start toward the best colleges in the
country.

INSULTING THE CLERGY

The important point about the
charge made by colOred movie-goers
that Clarence MUSES. role as a colored
preacher In the picture maryland"
insults the colored clergy is not either
the truth or the falseness of the charge,
but Mr.. Muses. argument defending
his acceptance Of the role. Of course,
many super-sensitive people often find
Objectionable scenes or dialogues in
plays or novels which others have
found above reproach. However,
Maryland, clarifying as it does the
old slave-Owning South which has
"gone with the wind" never to rise
again, is a picture offensive not merely
to thin-skinned individuals. It appears
that Mr.. Muses. undoubted dramatic
talent served to ridicule the honest, So
Der, decent, if uneducated, colored
clergy of last century, the first race
leaders.
Mr.. MUSES. defense was as timeworn
as it Is fallacious. He declared that
pictures like Maryland" afforded en-
ployment for hundreds of colored ac-
tors, both as stars and featured PLAYERS
and as extras. Granted. Nevertheless,
whenever and wherever such pictures
are shown, they reflect discredit upon
the Race. Their influence is balefully
far-reaehing, for the minds of re-
gretfully large number Of people of
other groups who do not have much
contact with colored Americans are
moulded by the subtle influence of the
films. The few dollars which a few ac-
tors and actresses may receive are
nothing beside the harm which their
roles may cause to further progress of
their people. In fact, it is not exag-
gerating to say that the few dollars
bear some relation to the traditional
thirty pieces of silver associated with
the name of Judas Iscariot or the mess
of pottage which has sometimes been
exchanged for birthrights.
