T ATE ON AN OCTOBER
IL day of 1906 there died in
New York a white haired,
slightly imperious woman,
after a long life which, for
high adventure, alternate
tragedy and sorrow few
Americans could equal. She
was the 8O-year-old Varina
Howell Davis, widow Of JET
ferson Davis of the Confed-
eracy.
Washingtonians knew this
one-time Queen of the
South" as well as-perhaps
better than-the people OF
any other place knew her. It
was here the beautiful, dark
eyed Varina Davis enjoyed
her happiest years. Here she
saw her husband on his way
to highest rank In the Gov
eminent of the United States,
rising from post to post, and
it was from Washington that
she went with him to the
tragic four years in Rich
mond.
Most Americans know lit
tie of the distinguished Davis
career in Washington, CHI
NAKED by service as Secretary
of War in the l850s. Though
she herself occupied an i'm
portant place in the Capital
for nearly 16 years, Varina
Davis has become q kind Of
forgotten woman. Yet even
casual inquiry indicates that
she played a role of consider
able significance.
Daughter Of a planter at
Natchez, the Mississippi cotton
capital, Varina Howell had
been educated beyond most
girls Tor boys of her day.
She showed, very early, a
firm mind, a firm will. At
Is she passed over possible
matches with wealthy planta-
ton scions to take the So
year-old Davis, q hard-work-
ing but not especially pros

and Winfield Scott, command
ing Army general. Once Mrs.
Davis had the eccentric Scott
to dinner. That worthy lifted
a first spoonful of soup and
almost spat it out. "Only my
cook can make the soup you
wanted this to be-" he
stormed. That's odd" his
hostess smiled gently. Il went
to your house today. and she
made it for me-" After that
she had the general under
control.
Mrs. Davis saw her hus-
band as q future President
and he was, in fact, often
mentioned as a Democratic
possibility. Hints developed
that when Pierce ran again
Davis would be the vice pres
idential candidate.
But Pierce himself missed q
second nomination, and Davis
returned to the Senate. Four
tense years, then secession
approached. Mrs. Davis. ever
a realist, had few roseate
visions of easy Southern sue
cess. Too. she had come to
love Washington; her memoirs
show how she reveled In the
life. Now, however. lifting her
shoulders, she left with him
for the deep South. Overnight
she found herself first Con-
federate lady.
During the hard years Of
the war she watched WASH
ington from a distance. Ever
practical, she realized the
Confederacy's end before
many of the men around her.
She became a fugitive, q har-
ried woman, fleeing with four
small children, riding rickety
wagons, trudging for hours
on foot In mud to her ankles.
Captured and released, she
eventually returned here, an
intent woman in black, to
plead for her husbands re-
lease. She called on Gen.

porous grower, far out in the
country. The marriage was a
love match; it remained 50
to death.
After an earlier marriage
that ended In tragedy, Davis
had turned into a kind of re-
cluse. One Of Varina's tasks,
she sometimes implied, was
to humanize him, make him
bend himself to the worlds
ways. BY the time she was
10 she was with him In WASH
ington. In his first year In
Congress, in 1856, he drew
quick attention, including
calls from the White House.
The Mexican War cut short
his career. Emerging a hero,
he was appointed to the
Senate, and then he and Va
rina came into their own.
She developed into a rank
ing younger hostess-a witty,
resourceful beauty, working
as hard for her husband at
receptions and dinners as he
did for himself as q Senator.
She served, too. as his Sec
retary.
Then Davis career under
went eclipse. Opposing the
slavery compromise of that
day. he lost. But by a re-
markable turn a close friend
won the presidency; Franklin
Pierce called him to the cab
met. Most Washington con-
temporaries said he was the
best Secretary Of War the
United States had yet known.
A former soldier, he gave the
Army one of the most COM
plete overhaulings in its his
tory. Meanwhile, still in her
2Os, Mrs. Davis became one
of the most adept Of cabinet
wives.
AS always she was smooth
ing things, advancing her
husbands interests. For q
time she quieted a raging
feud between her husband

Southern Social
Scientists Vote To
End Segregation
In School

New Orleans, La. - Three out
of four social scientists of the
South favor the elimination now
of racial segregation in graduate
and professional schools, ac-
cording to Aubrey Williams, Pre-
sident of the Southern Confer
ence Educational Fund.
"The result of an opinion poll
of 240 members of the Southern
Sociological Society conducted by
the Southern Conference Educa-
tional Fund show that only one
in four of the social scientists
favor the proposal of the South
ern institutions in response to
decisions of the United States
Supreme Court, have revised their
policies along different lines:

New York Mayor
Names Negro To
Board Of
Education
COLEMAN FIRST MEMBER
OF RACE BE MEMBER OF
BOARD In THE LAST
30 YEARS

The first Negro member of the
Board of Education in thirty years
was appointed yesterday when
Mayor O'Dwyer named the Rev.
John NJ. Coleman rector of st.
Philips Protestant Episcopal
Church of Brooklyn, to serve a
full seven year term.
Mr.. Coleman, who has been a
member Of the Board of Higher
Education since March, 1916, was
sworn into the unsalaried post
by the Mayor in a brief ceremony
at City Hall. Among the school
officials who were MaximiIian
Moss of Brooklyn, acting presi-
dent of the Board of Education
and Dr.. William jansen, Sup
erintendent Of schools. The Neg
70 clergyman succeeds Joseph D..
Fackenthal, former vice president
of the board, whose term as a
Brooklyn representative expired
last May.
With yesterdays appointment,
the Mayor raised the boards
membership to seven and thus
made possible a quorum of five
members for the meeting of the
education heads scheduled to take
place at 4 P. NJ. today in the
school headquarters building, ITO
Livington Street, Brooklyn. Two
members, Andrew G. Clauson,
Jr., of Richmond, president, and
Harold C. Dean of Queens, are
on vacation.
Mr.. Coleman, who was born
November 25, 1901, at Blackstone,
Va, was ordained to the priest

er it was declared that every
Shriner was required to become
a living exponent of improved san
itary laws adm systems in even
the remotest areas.
"Shriners must become active
in the furtherance of good health
laws and living conditions for all
human beings" Mr.. Jackson
stated.
Turning to the political treads
Mr.. Jackson pointed out that as
an organization, the Shriners
would not aline with or take part
in PARTISAN politics. But he did
emphasize that the tenets of his
order called upon the members to
exert a new leadership on the
homefront to secure the rights al
ready encouched in our national
laws" Denouncing disfranchise-
ment as American fascism he
asserted that this type of rule is
not acting for the economic and
political improvement of our
southern areas. Particularly were
members of the Order residing
in the Southern areas encouraged
to aline with progressive move
ment fighting for the rights and
privileges of all peoples.

hood of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Long Island in 1892 by
Bishop Earnest Milmore Stires.
He became rector of st. Philips
Church, one of the largest Negro
congregations in Brooklyn, the
following year.
Founder of Stuyvesant
Center
In 1913 Mr.. Coleman became
the first Negro to be appointed
to the executive board of the Ma
tional Council of the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew in the Protestant
Episcopal Church. He is a foun-
der and member of the board OF
directors of the Stuyvesant Conn
munity Center of Brooklyn, which
serves some $4,000 Negroes. He is
a member of numerous social
welfare groups.
Mr.. Coleman is married and
lives with his wife and five
children at 265 decatur Street,
Brooklyn.
The last time the Board of Edu-
cation had Negro member was
in 1917, when Mayor John P.
Mitchell appointed DR.. Eugene P
Roberts for five-year term to the
board, which then has forty-six
members. DR.. Roberts, a 70 year
Ole surgeon, who lives at 100
West 190th Street, served only
one year, however, because the
Legislature in 1918 reduced the
SIZE Of the board to seven mem
bers. Prior to1917, Enthusiastically
education system was consoli-
dated. the Brooklyn school board
had three Negro members who
served at various times.
Mayor O'Dwgef also reappoint-
Ed yesterday Charles Fl. futile to
a new nine year ;e"rl as a mem
Der of the board of cher Educa-
ton.

Imperial Potentate
Hits Lack Of Edu-
cationa! Facilities
For Negroes In
Southern States

Buffalo, n. Y. - Declaring that
no race or nation can succeed
unless all of the people are edu-
Gated, and that leadership must
stem from education, Raymond
E. Jackson, Imperial Potentate of
the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Or
der Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine,
pointed out the appalling lack of
proper educational facilities for
colored Americans in the South
ern states. Shriners were called
upon to exert their influence in
seeing that educational standards
all over the nation were raised
and that proper laws were passed
governing the training and hiring
of qualified teaching personnel,
at decent salaries.
He made this statement in a
discussion of the sevenal nation
al and local problems coming be-
fore the Shriners in their Attn
Annual Imperial Council conven-
ton August Is to 20 in st. Louis,
Mo. Mr.. Jackson presented a pow
ertul argument for Federal Aid to
education. TIE emphasized that on
ly through Federal Aid would it
be possible to secure equalized
school opportunities for all peo-
pies in all areas. Training to
rural areas and Southern COM
munities the Shriners' Imperial
Potentate pointed out that the
greater number Of children lived
IN these areas, and they were
being denied educational privil-
eyes under present regulations.
Listing other programs that
were requiring the immediate at
tention of the nations Shriners.
Mr.. Jackson said that good
housing, lowering of crime and
disease and the securing of the
ballot is high on the agenda of
day to day activities of our mem
bership."
He pointed out that much of the
weakness inherent in our form of
government comes from poor
housing. Shriners are being urged
to support progressive plans for
the immediate elimination of the
Sore spots and the black ghettos.
In the matter of good health
Mr.. Jackson said that the Nation
al Charity Department, which is
presently operating under the dir
ection of Booker T. Alexander.

Detroit, Michigan, would provide
more than 100000 for Tubercul-
osis and Cancer research. Furth-
