Negro leadership in the South
past and present." was the
forceful approach made to the
subject by DR.. Bertram w.
Doyle. dean OF Louisville Munich
pal College. Dr. Doyle gave
brief review of Negro leaders
from pre-Civil War days down
Through the present. He told of
the short-lived revolt carried on
by Gabriel in Virginia and Den
mark Vesey in South Carolina; OF
Frederick Douglass, Booker 7.
Washington. W. e. Dubois, and
Marcus Garvey. and then de-
clared: "Few individuals of late
years have arisen who could cap
ture the imagination of the Negro
race. The trend toward leader
ship of late years has been to-
ward economic progress rather
than along educational or emo
tional lines.
II am not altogether certain
what the philosophy of Negro
leadership in the future will be
but believe that it must be more
of the protest type. tempered by
an intellectual and educational
background. Yet the economic
point of view prevails in the lead
ership of today"

of the past as two types the

adding:
THE South became at once an
American and an un-American in
stitution. 1t was both strong and
weak. 1t was at once gentle and
cruel. 1t was white and black"
The noted physician, native
of Arkansas, declared further that
leaders both fearless and honest
are needed to bring the section
into its own. These leaders must
come from both races and must
work together for the common
good"
DR.. Ish said that the Negro is
attacked as being dirty, inorant
and shiftless. but pointed to the
fact that where an average of
$177 is spent for each white pu-
pill in schools, the average for
each Negro child is s11. He
spoke of difference In working
conditions, of pay scales and liv-
ing conditions.
How can the Negro live well
when he is shifted and crowded
into the most undesirable and
miserable sections" asked DIR.
Ish. white and black must find
way to remove these shackles
that the land may bloom with
the opportunities before 1t.

darky and all I wants is a place

Using a thick dialect and pre-
tended shiftlessness to mask his
activities for the Secret Service
during the Civil War. John SEQ
bell is described in a May Negro
Digest feature as one of the
North's top operatives and cred
tied with the success of one of
the wars most important top
secret missions.
Scobell had run away from en-
slavement by Mississippi master
and reported to Allen Pinkerton.
Secret Service chief. early in the
war. So impressed was the now
famous Pinkerton with Scobell's
intelligence and reliability that
he made him an operative at
once. And in Pinkerton's own
autobiography he credits Scobell
with two very important missions
into the very heart of the Con-
federate stronghold.
This ex-slave who was so busy
accomplishing otherwise impossi-
BILE missions managed to escape
discovery for the entire period of
the war by the simple expedient
of his oft-spoken line.
