Continues Ring
Career as a Pro

FORT DIX, New Jersey - Pri-
vate J. D. Harvey, a "a year-old
CT boxer, whose nickname, Grand
mas Boy, fails to conceal the
atomic power latent in his fists,
lett the Army this week via the
Fort Dix Separation Center and
headed for his Pittsburgh, Pen
nsylvania home and a professional
career in the squared circle.
Harvey, also known as gid" to
the thousands of GIs who have
seen him perform in bouts all over
Europe and in the United States,
left in his wake scintillating
record of Al fights without a de-
feat. Thirty of his victories ended
in knockouts.
During his four years overseas
service, Harvey became light
heavyweight champion of the
European and Mediterranean Thea
tiers. He fought exhibitions
against the Interchangeable
CT ampion of France and against
Freddy Mills, popular British
fighter.
Harvey will rejoin his Grand
mother, Mrs. Viola Perkins, at
1900 Stockholm Street, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, who reared him
since childhood with strict disci-
pline and constant admonition
against temptations that lure
youth from the straight and mar
row. Up to the present time,
Harvey has kept a solemn promise
that he would eschew cigarette
smoking and alcoholic beverage.
On his return to civilian life,
Harvey plans to enter the profess
sional fight game under the ex-
pert tutelage Of a Pittsburgh ply
steal training instructor.

came back to life.
Already it had shown signs of
reviving in adjacent Tennessee,
where it had absorbed the remn-
ants of the Silver Shirts, and in
Michigan, where the Black Shirts
had been powerful and sinister.
In Georgia, too, the East Point
and Oakland City Klaverns began
to do business again"
Summins up his determination
to kill off the Khan in Georgia,
Governor Arnall warns, do not
be fooled into a belief that the
Khan is nothing more than mi
nor manifestation of violence. The
Blachshirts. the Brownshirts and
the Nightshirts are brothers I'M
der their skins. Much of the
present leadership of the Khan,
especially of the resurgent groups
in Tennessee, Illinois and New
Jersey. are frankly Fascist. The
Georgia and Michigan variety, as
far as we can tell, is largely vio-
lent. And while it does not make
a great deal of difference to the
victim personally whether he is
logged to death by common law
breakers of by Fascist conspira-
tore. it might make a real diff,
ference to America one day."

College Teams Eye
Angel Bowl Game

Intercollegiate Football among
Negro Colleges will be played this
season with all eyes on the Angel
Bowl Associations invitations to
the two nationally recognized top
teams to play in the Angel Bowl
Game in Los Angles, December %.
This was the oponion expressed
by John A. Hardee, president, An
gel Bowl Association, and Business
Manager OF the Egyptian Temple
No. 5, Shrine Patrol, the Drill
Team voted the second best in the
nation at the Annual Imperial
Council of Shrineds held in Phila-
ielphia, August 1928.
'fOn my trip east" said Mr..
Hardee, who returned to Los Ang-
les last week, II was, particularly
impressed by the response and en-
thusiasm of athletic represent
atives of the various colleges l
visited in the South and East. AS
one atheletic representative put it,
an invitation to play in the Angel
Bowl Game not only means nat
ional recognition as one of the best,
but an opportunity to go to Los
Angles to prove it would be a
coach's dream and a goal worth the
seasons effort"
Football fans as well are en-
thusiastic about the Angel Bowl
Game, Mr. Hardee declared. In New
Yark City, Philadelphia, Washing
ton, D. C. and Atlantic City the
classic is receiving high praise.

Face It
THE NEW SESSION

School eblls are ringing through
out the state. The city schools
! are ending their first month of
| the school year. Rural schools are
| just making their first week. See
| ing the little fellows trudging
down a muddy road, keeping on
| the alert less a beautiful steel
| bodied bus full of voters Off
springs splash them with slush,
we have our attention sharply
| drawn to the many and various
problems presented by our edu-
cational setup. The subject is
| confused by its national aspect
aside from it's separate and dis
tinct forty-eight state systems, it's
dual setups for Negroes and
whites in southern and some
northern states, its urban and
rural schools, rich and poor dis
tricts, dense and sparse sections.
Not only organization but also
problems of methods, procedures,
certification of teachers, trans
portation, housing, equipment,
length of terms, teachers salaries
and tenure of office, all contribute
to make education at once the
greatest governmental business
and the greatest public concern.
We are concerned with the
overall picture of education as
well as with any of its parts. Our
concentration on some of the
parts often serve to obscure the
broad scope of the issue. Teach
ers have been criticized for their
one theme fight: more pay, more
pay, more pay. The emphasis,
| these critics say, should be on
preparation, better preparation,
and more preparation on the prin-
ciple of the servant being worthy
of his full hire and better, trained
teachers will naturally bring
about teaching, improved facili-
ties, higher pay.
However, the majority of teach
ers of the Mississippi Association
feel that the past forty years have
proved the many falacies of this
argument. During their period the
differential between Negro and
white teachers salaries has been
reduced only once, and that by
less than by two percent.
The differential in teacher-pre-
paration admittedly is dapidly re-
ducing. They contend further that
better pa Twill attract the better
trained graduates into the edu-
cation field. Those who enter the
teaching profession today, they
claim, are the misfits, those too
poorly trained to make a living
in the competitive occupations,
and a few souls still imbued with

Georgia Gov. Calls
Khan Dangerous
Fascist Group

America must get rid of the
Khan before the Khan gets rid of
America!
This unequivocal warning is
sounded by the nations foremost
antagonist of the Khan, Governor
Ellis Arnall of Georgia, writing in
the October issue of Coronet, to
be released September %. His
article is called, my Battle A

Governor Arnall, who reveals
how he, himself, as been threaten
ed with assassina ton by the Khan,
is training his guns on what he
terms a "andgerous native Ease
list group" Although this win
ter he will give us his office. Gov
'ernor Arnall and his administra-
ton are now attempting to take
the Klansmen in Geargia to the
place they are most reluctant to
go = the courtroom, where i'm
partial judges and juries can look
underneath the mask and see who
is hiding there"

to play dress-up" and how sew
eral times the Khan was forced
into a shallow grave, only to be
nocturnally re born and revive
its white-sheet activities, is he
veiewed by Governor Arnall.
Talking about his early battles
with the Khan, Governor Arnall
says, "It eXerted enough power in
Georgia, for example, for the I'M
perial Wizard, DIR. Hiram Wesley
Evans, to dominate the sale of
asphalt to the State Highway De-
partment for several years. DR..

minded America of sacrificial SER
vice. SO this majority advocates
a salary scale based on training
which not only will be raised in
pay, but will serve as an incen-
i tive for teachers to continue their
education to enter the higher pay

, adding citizens, living in a de-
mocrasy, to achieve these ends.
This Week
The Jeanes Supervisors held
their annual conference at Jack

! nesday of the past week. This
group represents the best of the
profession judged by all-round
ability, personality and leadership
qualifications. Their influence is
tremendous. The future of our
youth is largely under their di-
rection. They are fine people, 10y
al, staunch supporters of the AS
ISOLATION. A little Jess criticism
and a little more cooperation on
the part of us principals would
/ greatly effectuate their helpful
ness.
Surplus Again
One Jeanes Teacher reports that
her superintendent is wide awake
in taking advantage of the surplus
sales being conducted by the gov
eminent and advertised in all
of the daily papers. She states
that he attends the sale, buys
property, then distributes it to his
schools, all of them, on the basis
of need. He has purchased, cray
on, stoves, chairs, lunchroom
equipment, and many other items.
Some of us may need to prod our
own superintendent to action -
as Mrs. Eva Harris, of Lincoln
County, has done.
