"Not Even On Her Tin Type"

The refusal of painting of Marian Anderson celebra
ed cooed conrato by the Corcoran Galleries in Washing
ton City is evOking quite sensation at this time 1t will
be remembered that in the city Miss Anderson was
refused Constitution Hall for recital by styled as
sponsors of democracy and daughters to keep
the memories of Those who fought and lived and those who
fought and died that their children might inherit the
cherished liberties that enjoy The painting
done by Mr.. Misner, himself artist of renown and
according to his testimony, the best of his works
shown in many parts of the globe.
1t apparent that those in charge of exhibits contend
that the work is not to the standard 1t is also stated
that they have shown in this gallery Negro subjects that
color has nothing to do with art and the subjects
cepted on their merit.
While we are not specialists strokes and line scheme
and color harmonies and would not for anything set
selves up Judge, directing committee art to
what is meritorOuS do assert that In many places
where have subjects of art exhibited of black folks
in white galleries these subjects comprise largely of old
broken down Negro with long white beard white hair
bald with shabby dress and the meekness of dumb ami
mails On the other hand at art exhibit old
with red bandanna tied about head with white
teeth protruding from her thick greasy looking lips.
All in all we have not been able in rambes among
art exhibits to the deep study pose, indicating the
thinker the and sturdy pose betraylng sense Oh
aesthetic nhbons might harmonic with the face ana
1t is uncommon thing to colored subjects on
highly decorated post cards in the cottoeds picking cot
ton groups of little pckannnies eating watermelon or still
groups of young behind barn throwing dice In many
of the advertisements of the day coored subjects used
all their arrays of dialects, in old bonnet servants
livery in order to get the idea over.
Once time, this writer with white executive
waiting go to the funeral of respected coored en-
poyee working in system under this white employer,
After the taxicab arrived for the courteous driver
make the trip after seeing there was coored
subject got and stepped the starters desk and
made telephone CALL Returning ne stated that me could
take both of provided the coored subject would borrow
and white coat
Maybe if Mr.. Meltsner had painted Miss Anderson
with white collar and bandanna her head, he might
have gotten his subject over.

the city.
And in the same city, school

This little paragraph, may not
draw smiles from some. but others
will like it. A man answering the
name of John Holmes packed up
his family and left Philadelphia en-
route to Georgia after taking tip
and placing his last two bucks on

the number. And Holmes thought
he was dreaming when he collected

That means real money.
So. it looks like we're doing right
well. That is unless you've been
reading all of those other columns
and articles which are slightly on
the darker side.

winning friends and resources for
the enterprise. Need 1 tell you that
it grew. In little over three de-
cades there has sprung literally
from a wilderness, an institution
with a beautiful plant, well-train-
ed faculty, a sound philosophy Of
education growing cut of and
catering 10 the needs of a semi
rural people and a fine group OF
three or four hundred earnest
young people with their feet ON
the ground and their eyes ON the
stars.
They are net there because the
state OF some generous philanthro-
pist has furnished and continues to
furnish the money needed to op-
crate a school like theirs, but be-
cause one man counted not even
his life as dear unuo himself in
his zeal to serve the youth of his
generation. If ever there was an
institution that could be rightly
called the heightened shadow Of a
man, that school is the Florida
Normal and Collegiate Institute
and the man was Nathan Collier.
His passing reminds lis all too
convincingly that the guard is be-
ing changed in the field of Negro
education in the South One by
one the men who have made It's
history are giving the password to
the relief and moving on for their
reward. Men like Collier and Hunt
and women like Mary Mcleod Be-
thune, who has announced her in
tention to resign as head of the
school she founded, have made a
contribution to our national we'll
being and our racial uplift that is
hardly comparable with that made
in anv other field of service. They
started from nothing and have LETT
as monuments to themselves and
a heritage to their fellow men in
stitutions that cannot die as long
IS those whose lives they have
touched and enriched continue to
live themselves and in their chill
dren. They were, most of them,
cnly Bachelors or Masters OF Arts
But what was most important, they
were pioneers, dreamers, builders,
teachers, statesmen motivated by
a kind of fierce, unrestrained pas
sion for leadership and service.

lower by from $40 to SIS than the

clear that there would be no re-
auctions in the salaries of the lat

FOR LO THESE many genera
tions philosophers have been de-
batting the question which comes
first the egg or the hen, the acorn
or the oak? Since all eggs come
from hens, and all oaks come from
acorns. we were left in something
akin to a vicious circle. 1t was by
deduction that philosophers arrived
at somelike the definition conclu-
sion that he hen preceded the egg
and the oak preceded the acorn,
or that which is actual must pre-
cede that which is potential. The
actual is the hen and the poten-
tial is the egg; the actual is the
oak and the potential is the acorn.
This age old philosophical &C.
nundrum suggests the plight in
which we find the Negro artisan in
this defense crisis. We are max
ing a concerted drive to secure
every possible advantage for the
Negro artisan and this is as it
should be. The i1on is hot and

The high handed way in which the
Negro's exclusion from these de
tense projects has been planned
and executed is alarming to say
he least. Negroes must understand
that these military preparations
are not injecting new exclusion
forces to operate against these
luckless Negro workers.
REALLY THE EFFECT
These defense projects are not
inventing new methods of circum-
scribing the Negro economically;
they are only making obvious,
measures which hitherto have been
obscure. Like pain in the body
