America today. Most important
among the many faults that can
be definitely and rightfully attri-
buted to our group of people is
that fault which exists in relation
to our educational pursuits.
can quite readily recognize
the existence of experience and
background, which tend toward
the development of a philosophy
which leads all of our young peo-
pie into a desire for professional
training, and causes a complete
lack of interest in the field of
training which tends to develop
particular ability or skill in the
fields of crafts and trades.
In other words, I can quite ca
silly see the creation Of desire
among the young people of our
group to be trained to serve in a
professional or white collar capa-
city. However, I think that now is
the time that we must realize the
necessity of the parents of our
young people, counciling with
these young people in such way
as to create an interest, and a
desire for training in the field of
crafts and trades. I feel this way
because I am of the opinion that
the days of activities in the white
collar field are limited and that
the professional fields are over
crowded today.
However, to bring the point a
little more closely home, let me
point out this fact. Recently, the
President Of the United States
took the necessary steps to create
the possibility of employment for
Negroes at the Boeing Aircraft
Plant. A representative of the
War Production Board is in town
today frantically trying to find
Negro youths who have received
training in the Aircraft Mechanics
Industries. Yesterday we visited
one of the most deliberately equip
Ped training shops in Machine
shop practices and sheet metal
works to be found anywhere in
the country. The shop was filled
with hundreds of young white boys
and girls. The only Negro on the
project was content to accept
training in stenographic work in
the office of the Director of the
Project.
We are not trying to condemn
stenographic work, but we are
trying to point out in this res
Feet, that there is a very definite
need for Negroes to secure train
ing which will result in the devel-
opment of particular ability in the
field Of crafts and trades, if the
Negro ever expects to assume his
rightful position, from the point of
view of numbers and participation,

city :. though small, one of the best

the best.
We had hoped also to open up a
new floral shop in Meridian among
our group, which is badly needed. We
have not, however, been able to find
anybody capable of running a floral
shop and for that reason, it may be
that the idea of floral shop will
have to be abandoned for the present.

C. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE
NOW HISTORY
Quadrennial Session of the c. M. E
General Conference Closed
May 18th

The 10Th quadrennial session of the
General Conference of h e Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church closed in
Chicago, Monday n g h t, May 18th.
Thousands of C. M. Els and w | !
wishers visited the General Confer
ence held in our great st. Paul c. M.
E. Church of which the Reverend H..
W. Evans is pastor and the Reverend
E. P. Murchison wa the Presiding
Elder and Bishop Jas. A. Bray was
the entertaining bishop.
All of h bishops were present.
The Conference was opened by the
senior, Bishop Charles Henry Phillips
of Cleveland.
Space will not permit US to give
anything like in details the procedure
of the Conference, therefore, hitting
few of the high spots, we are happy
to inform our readers that this was a
historic G eneral Conference from
many angles. In 1888 we started out
with ten bishops. During the quad
rennium we lost one by death, Bishop
j. C. Martin of Memphis. In this
General Conference Bishop j. w. Nc
Kinney of Texas was retired because
of age and i'll health.
1t was thought best by some not to
elect any more bishops at this partic-
ular time because of the conditions
that confront the world today. 1t
was thought, however, by a minority
that all things being equal, it was al
most tragedy to proceed for another
four years without strengthening the
bench.
Be that as it will or may we are now
back Nome hard at work for the Mas
ter and His Kingdom building. All of
the bishops returned to the field over
which they presided before the Cen
eral Conference. The state Of Okla

District over which Bishop J. H.
Moore presides.
Many complaints were registered
against some of the bishops. Not

had willfully done anything wrong
but for the lack Of injecting real bust

did not fail to speak out boldly against
irregularities in the church because of
mere negligence and unbusiness like
procedure. The c. NJ. E. Church was
and will be helped because of the bold
stand that some of the delegates took
for the future safety of our Zion. The
c. M. e. Church has eight action bish-
ops, some of whom we consider the
equals of any Methodist bishops and
we believe that they are worthy. We

The following is a list of the names

lodge who have made contribution
to the 18th Anniversary of the Gen.

that our Anniversary Celebration thus
far has been a success. The office
force, including til e president, vice
president and secretary h rave been
busy for the most part, attending to
church work. Our General Confer
ence convened in Chicago this month
and we were not able to put the time
that we desired in pushing the Ami
versary Celebration. We do wish,
however, to thank all concerned for
the efforts h a were put forth to
make the work a success.
In the March Boards we added more
than three hundred members and we
will go beyond that number in t h e
June Boards. After all, our efforts
have not been a failure. Each local
president is asked to sponsor a short
and spicy program in honor of the
18th Anniversary. Let's give honor
to whom honor is due.
