about Camp Whispering Will

handicraft work done by the
children who reside there all
winter. There were pictures,
drawn and made up with some
kind of shiny stuff that looks
like little bits of glass, all in diff
ferent colors, pot-holders, ash
trays, gem and Jewel cases, all
done in first class style, and
needing to be seen to be appre-
ciated. Besides handicraft, they
are learning vocal exercises, and
the art of singing. They have
exhibitions and public perform
ances, at times, ard many in
structive and interesting acti-
vities. Their registration shows
children from all parts of the
country, many from southern
states being enrolled, as well as
many from Massachusetts, and
the rest of New England. Miss
Josephine Crawford, the Direc-
tor, with her competent corps of
assistants, is doing an excellent
job with their big brother and
big sister attitudes. 1t is now
time for parents to plan for the

first state in the Union to have
an integrated state militia. On
March 5, 1910, the first state Often

Boston itself was a white and
coIored group led by the giant
cOlored ex-slave Crispus Attacks.
The Bay State regular militia in
the Revolutionary War was also
mixed with such heroes as Peter
Salem and other Tan Yanks who
helped turn back the British.
Beginning with the Civil War,

After the Civil War there were
no more colored regiments in
this state and the co1ored units
were reduced to MVM bat

One, number of scattered col

May of 1922 into Second Sepa-

There had been a First Sepa-

A BOYS BLOCKADE AND
SKYWARD LIFT

The blockade of a boy is more
serious than Berlins. Our COM
plicated modern life pitches
many a blockade against him.
Only the skyward lift of a great
personality can help him to save
himself. THE Silent One" is a
film showing the struggles OF
a boy to rise above his handi-
caps. A preview was arranged
through the courtesy of the Ur-
ban League Of Boston. The film
is now running at Kenmore
Theatre. THE Silent One" along
with Hymns of the Nation" by
Toscanini, will give helpful en-
tertainment. All workers with
boys should try to see it.
Juvenile delinquency has its
roots in broken homes, delin-
quent parents, mothers forced
out OF home by days work and
enticed out of home BY pleas
ures- The tap root, however, Of
delinquency seems to lie in the
souls own crookedness. Even in
the squalor of poor housing in
Harlem again and again boys
rise above those conditions be-
cause in heart and mind the
Stun resides not in their souls.
To all slum jewellers there are
blockades. Donald Thompson,
the ten year old Harlem lad, had
all fun, fellowship and faith
blockaded out of his life by home
conditions, neighborhood indif-
ference, and his own anti-social,
sullen attitude towards life.

Downstate Ohio to Geneva
William Monroe Trotter had
every attribute of the greatest of
our leaders except one: a capable
and noisy press agent. Had he
had the access to the daily and
weekly front pages that some of
the ighter-weights of the pres
emit time have, he would have
bee nthe subject of countless
volumes of best-selling histories.
For here was a man who went
from an obscure Downstate Ohio
birthplace to an exalted spot on
the rostrum Of the League OF
Nations meeting at Geneva. He
cornered Governors and Mayors
at their desks and badgered
Presidents on behalf of the
rights of his people. No one was
too high, none too holy, to hear
his eloquent demands for JUS
tice. At no time was he too busy
to take advantage Of a situation
in which he thought his de-
mands could be advantageously
reiterated
No Popularity Winner
Monroe Trotter never won any
popularity awards, would never
have become the best-loyed man
among those forces who seek to
distribute crumbs TO people dy-
ing Of democratic starvation. He
let no one doubt for a moment
just where his hatreds lay, and
he courted no false love in re-

Not on the Team
In his most active years, vii
liam Monroe Trotter was not al
ways seen in this movement, or
that one, or in other places where
the genuine or synthetic leaders
of the people gathered. Not that
he did not help, and materially,
those movements which he felt
would help the race. He did;
he was one of those who con-
ceived the Niagara Movement
out of which the NAACP grew.
He advised with the ageless w.
&. B. Dubois and many OF the
other great leaders. But when
these organizations adopted pro-
grams Of compromise, Monroe

was relentless and he was un-
deyiating; his own Equal Rights
League, which still is carrying
forward the torch of freedom
from all segregation, anywhere
and under any conditions, still
holds to that answering line.
Monroe stayed on the team as
long as he felt It was trying to
win: when it wasn't, he left.
With him, 1t. was as simple as
that.
Story Still Untold
A few historians have touched
on it, but the true, the real story
of William Monroe Trotter still
remains largely untold. Many
people have toyed with the idea
of doing it, but it still awaits the
proper historians attention. In
the meantime, I shall do my
little share, at least once a year,
to keep alive the memory of that
great man who died fifteen years
ago last April I; the magnificent
William Monroe Trotter, Ohio
born and New England-raised
who some day will be given an
