BOOK REVIEW

The Negro in American His
tory Textbooks by Marie Eliza
beth Carpenter George Bsnta
Publishing Company .Menasha,
Wisconsin. 1871.
Reviewed by GERTRUDE MARTIN
This short 13O account Of the
treatment Of Negroes in American
History Textbooks is we'll worth
the attention Of persons in the edu-
cational field as well as those lay
men actively interested in improv-
ing the status Of the Negro. Mrs.
Carpenter is working on the az
sumption that classroom material
and discussions change attitudes
although she points out that there
is some difference OF opinion on this
score among those who have made
studies on attitude changes. How
ever. the importance Of presenting
unbiased factual information on the
ulace Of the Negro in American
life cannot be overestimated,
Mrs Lawrence has selected So
textbooks and carefully examined
them on the basis Of lineage devoted
TO Negroes. types OF illustrative
material. references 10 Negroes and
general treatment Of material on the
subject. She has divided the text
bools into five periods according
10 publication dates; those pub
llshed before 1880 those published
from lS3l-l865, those from 1866.

1900, those from 190l-193O, and
those from l93l-l939.
Anyone who has been trained in
the average city school system,
North or South. will not be sur
prised to learn that in general the
approach to the Negro in American
history textbooks is still the ira
ditional one Of dwelling on the sub
ject Of slavery and the evils Of the
Reconstruction period with little or
no attention given to later develop
ments in the Negro or to the part
which free Negroes played in our
history Slave instructions are
played down as are individual diff
ferences among Negroes. slave and
free; the slave system is seldom in
dicted on the grounds Of inhuman-
ity Although there have been some
advances, made in the treatment of
Negroes in our history texts. this
advance is far from comparable to
the research material variable and
far less than one would normally
expect.
Mrs. Lawrence has included an
excellent photography in the body
Of her text as well as in her foot
notes. Her inspection of the sc
books is thorough, clear and TO the
point II presents in concise form
material which was secured at the
expense Of much time and careful
research.

THE FORD CONTRACT

new era in labor history has begun at River
Rouge. The struggle of workers for job guarantees
and security for independence and freedom has been
cimaxed by contract with the Ford Motor Com
pany which gives them new dignity and full fu-
ture The validity of the workers claims expressed
in their organization for their mutual benefit has
been recognized by the company, and like enlightened
industralists, the officials of the Company have en-
tered into contract
This contract includes a significant clause, "The
provisions of this contract shall apply to all employees
covered by this agreement, without discrimination
on account of race color, national origin or creed"
The hiring policies of the Ford Motor Company have
been affected by this contract only in that every
employee must become member of the union within
thirty days.
If this agreement between the Union and the Ford
Motor Company may be said to end the fight for
union recognition, this agreement also may be said
to open the door of opportunity to the Negro worker
eto improve his status and advance to the limit of
his capacity
1t is not enough now that the Negro worker
simply join the union. Today he has response
bility. Our workers must participate in all of the
union activities and exercise all of the privileges of
democratic organization. They must attend meet
ings express their opinions and vote on every meas
ure and in every union election. For the first time
the Negro has within himself the power and right
to shape his own destiny. Our workers must use
the democratic processes of the union to protect his
security and advance their progress. To fail to
maintain vigilance is to neglect and deny our own
best interests.
We quote release from the union itself on this
question: at is now up to every member of the
race who is an employee of the Ford Motor Company
and a member of the union to realize as Edse Ford
said No halfway measures will be effective. To
merely have your dues checked off each month to
qualify as union member to hold your job is merely
halfway measure To obtain the full benefits
possible under this regime and to protect your
future security. every employee Of the Ford Motor
Company is invited and urged to take part in all
the affairs of the union"
