larly high schools, should be drasti-
cally changed. Every one of lis came
up with batch of worthless infor-
nation that had come down with
him through the years and was
serving no more purpose than q
third ear. On the other hand, we
all decried the fact that there was
so much we needed to know that
was never offered us in school.
Still Wears Scar.
I, for instance, spent a good deal
Of my high school time In a manual
training shop, sweating over a hot
lathe, and turning out bookends and
candlesticks which even my devoted
parents could not look at without
shuddering. How much better for
me, and for you readers, had I spent
my manual training time In learn
ing the Kings English and the in
tricacies of prose composition.
So help me, I even took black
|snithing at Tech High in Atlanta.
What did the superintendent of
schools think I intended to do the
rest of my life? Spend 1t under a
spreading chestnut tree? The rem
nant of horseshoe scar still is on
my chest, a reminder of those days
at my forge. How much more sensi-

AS it Is, If my car stops and I find
it isn't out Of gas, I'm licked. 7 must

enjoy the disadvantages of a high
school education comes by and tells
me what is wrong,
My wife, Jean, admitted during
the conversation that she couldn't
turn out decent batch Of baking
powder biscuits but that she could
tell you the name of the owner of
Mead Hall in Beowulf. She proceed

that a hot buttered Hrothgar might
be all right, but I'd rather stick to
biscuits.

SOMETHING ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMAN AND THE
HOSPITAL FOR NEGRO VETERANS AT
MOUND BAYOU MISSISSIPPI

People everywhere, regardless of race, creed color
who ore in the least bit acquainted with the vostIy node-
quote hospital facilities for Negro veterans help
but appreciate the recent approval by President Trumon
authorizing the construction of 2O0bed hospital to be
located OF cost of S2xw 100000 in the states
historic oI-Negro town of Mound Bayou.
In this respect, we think the conditions which will
be in small degree omeIoroted ore too immediate
and reoI to bring the Presidents action within the
which prompted the protest of the NAACP and the head
lines given the story certain sections of the Negro press
Still firm in the belief thar the removal Of Jim Crow
in all of its implications is immediate challenge to
American democracy, we unobe to apply the word Jim
Crow in its ordinary accepted meaning and implications
to the action of the President in approving the location of
hospital for Negro veterans in duly chartered, all Me-
gro town.
Many years ago, the lote great Theodore Roose-
vet President of the United States and foremost omong
American politicians and statesmen pointed the great
Methodist Episcopal Church. all Negro church
made great and successfully administered through storm
ond strife by Negroes justification of the Negroes right
to vote denioy equoy all other rights and responsible
ties of American citizenship"
Up at Mound Boyou similar experience is taking
place and it may we'll be that the oction of the President
in locating the hospital at Mound Boyou will hasten roth
er thon delay the removal of Jim Crow from the American
scene.

Communism is invading America like whirIwind and

While we know that the president is sincere in his

however, that his program comprehensive enough to get

No Perfect Society
Schuyler Asserts

Greensboro, N C - Pointing
out that there will never be a
perfect society on earth, George
S Schuyler, New York editor Of
the Pittsburgh Courier, told an
A and T College audience here
recently that Negroes must stop
bewailing their shortcomings and
utilize to the fullest extent those
things which they already have.
Schuyler was principal speaker
on the Sunday forum program.
sponsored by the A and T Forum
Committee, held in Richard B
Harrison Auditorium. He was in.
troducted by Robert E Martin,
professor of social sciences at the
college.
In his though. provoking speech
from the subject, Opportunities
in America, the New York editor
declared that there are plenty OF
opportunities in this ctuntry. He
held that there is no limit to what
Negroes can accomplish in the I'm
tied States.
Observing the cooperative move
ment as t technique which could
be readily utilized by the group,
he showed the unlimited possibi--
lities open to them if they would
pool their capital and operate for
the common good of all. Schuyler
then urged the students going out
of school to their respective conn.,
munities to carry with them the
thought of formin gcooperatives
ventures as an ecanomic measure
to strengthen the group.

The Star on January 16, 1897, reported:
"At the new
Librory Of Congress Con gressional
Decoration Library the
scaffoldjng
that has hidden the decoration OF the
corridors surrounding the west main en-
trance hall on the second floor has been
entirely removed, and the plan Of deco
ration may be seen in its entirety. The
color scheme is based somewhat on that
Of the Sienna Library, and the hues
employed are very brilliant and intense,
almost crude in places. The general
opinion of the artists and connoisseurs
who have visited the building seems TO
be that this part Of the Library is over
decorated and that it falls below the
high standard OF taste In the rest Of the
structure. The truly fine mural paint
ings by Walter Shirlaw, Robert Reid,
Frank Benson and George Barse are, so
to speak, stifled in the atmosphere Of
conventional ornament with which they
are surrounded, and appear to poor ad-
vantage"
