Negro Educator
Hailed In Readers
Digest Article

Plantersville, N. Y.-Mary Mac
Leod Bethune, through faith in
God and in herself" rose from
humble beginnings as a cotton
picker to her present eminence as
founder and head of Bethune-Cook-
man College at Daytona Beach,
Fla. The story of MRS. Bethune's
life is told by Dorothy Walworth in
the February Readers Digest.
Mary Bethune's own education
and later her founding and de-
velopment of the college were ac-
complished with the utmost diff
Guilty. She had no money, and on
every hand she met opposition and
indifference on the part of whites
and blacks alike. In the early days
of the college she got ink by
squeezing the juice from wild elder
berries, made pencils of charred
wood combed dump heaps for any
thing that could be turned into
furniture.
She persisted such handicaps,
however, and gradually the college
grew. Financial assistance was
eventually received from two men.
James N. Gamble of Proctor and
Gamble, and Thomas H. White of
the White Sewing Machine Co. By
the late '20s Mrs. Bethune was be-
coming widely known as an educa-
tor; in one year she spoke at some
800 meetings in 40 states. Presi-
dent Hoover, in 1880, invited her
to his White House Conference on
Child Health. Later, during Roose-
velt's administration, she was head
of the Negro division of the Ma
tional Youth Administration. In
1885 she was awarded the Spingarn
Medal, given yearly "for the high
est and noblest achievement by an
American Negro"
Mrs. Bethune strongly influenced
President Roosevelt to create the
Federal Committee on Fair En-
ployment Practice, outlawing dis
elimination in defense industry. In
1915 Roosevelt asked Mrs. Bethune
to be delegate to the San Fran
cisco Conference to the United
Nations.
Today, at the age of II, Mrs.
Bethune is president emeritus of
her college, which now has 1925
students and 27 buildings.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: NOBODY KNOWS DE
TROUBLES / SEES is a la
ment that belongs to the tradition
of Amt Haggar's Chilluns in these
United States, but once IN While
when their troubles multiply they
let the ancient refrain run again
thru their minds. What made me
think about that old song that our
old folks used to sing was the story
I heard from up and down Parish
Street, while | was settin down
eating my fish and drinking my
beer. And while | thought about
it | imagined that what made the
old folks think of them words was,
in the time Of trouble, there jest
amt nobody for Amt Haggar's
Chilluns to turn to. The story
what | heard while | was eatin
my fish and drinking my beer
was about one of the Brothers-o-
the-Tribe, who had some trouble
wild some brethren who wasn't
members of the tribe. They 'cused
him of trying to run them against
the curb" in their car, with his
car, which because he hadn't had
it long, may have looked a little
betern'n the one they were ridin
in Which led them to run the
brother-o -the- tribe up and down
Parish Street til they hemmed him
UP and got out and broke up the
windows in his car, in which, when
he couldn't run no further he'd
locked himself up because he was
both innocent and scared ;. What
made me think about the lament
that come from the tradition of
Amt Haggar's Chillun was this.
When the three Brethren who
wasn't no members-o-the tribe had
done all the damage they could do,
seeing that Haggar's child wasn't
gonna unlock ard come out, they
drove off, which gave the scared
rnd innocent Brother tribe
time to call the police, who soon
found out where them other
Brethren had went to and accosted
them in the name of the law. But
after hearing their story, they put
it along side of the story told by
Haggar's Child, who was standing
there with all the evidence show
ling (his broken windows) and his
trembling hands, then they told
him to apologize to them three
Brethren" and git his own win
dows fixed and they'd let him go

When man has been given the
power
The head executive of the law,
Then give the power to ignorant
men
In the church its going to be war
To many men in power today
In Gods house and has no wait
Trying to hold the gospel pillow
And looking back is now his fate
When man don't know how to
saddle a horse
Neither rope a COW on the range
He always breaches heavens gold
en- streets
And never mentions the devils
name.
The world I say another world
the church
Is filled with hell fearing men,
A very little fear for the word of
God
And has no respect for his name.
The church is filled with every
thing
But the love of God today,
The love of God will make you
live right
But thousands would rather go
astray.
That old time Christian had to
find
That modern day is in the lead,
With thousands on that road to
hell
Because they can't take heed.
God is calling for the pure in heart
Like he did in the days of old,
When men that loved their neigh
bors
And their family they controlled.
The love of God is the same today
AS it was in the days of old,
But before the people claiming
modern day
And their children are hell to
control.
Good people you might as we'll
around
Because a christian life is right,
You have got to be filled with the
love of God
For our churches to stay out of a
fight.
You have added too much to Gods
house
When he said not add or take away,
You are sending our girls out
begging
And the world will lead them
astray.

STRAIGHT
ahead"
By JULIUS J. ADAMS

NEW YORK = (Global) = AS
long as | can remember every
Presidential election has beer
called "the most crucial in oul
history" and every Presidential
year has been described as "the
year of decision" The approach
ing election and this year are nc
exception. Already we are being
told that the 1852 election might
well determine the course Of the
world for the next 100 years.
The funny thing about these dire
warning is that they are essentially
true. The next step is always the
dangerous one, once we have sue
cessfully negotiated the last. What
far too many people fail to real
ize is that freedom does not stay
won of its own. There are toe
many people who would rob others
of their freedom. Liberty and
freedom, once won, have to be re-
wen and have to be circumspectly
awarded in order to keep them
won.
One of the cardinal weaknesses
in the Negroes efforts to push for
ward in his fight for recognition
as man and a human being OF
full stature is his failure to remain
alert after a skirmish has been
won.
1t almost always happens that
after the Negro has fought tire
lessly for years to effect some
change in the Jim crow pattern
of life in the United States and
secured a modicum of recognition
he lapses into false sense of Sc
curity and satisfaction only tc
wake up later to find the advant-
ages he had gained are all gone
or have been rendered meaning
less.
The year 1852 is a year of de-
cision as was the year 1948, and
the coming election is the "most
crucial in our history" just as the
election four years ago-at that
time-was the most crucial. This
is true because we have survived
the past, and only the future can
present as problems. The dark
ness of uncertainty which shroud-
ed our course at the beginning of
1948 has been swept away by the
passing of time. But, today, that
same darkness blinds us of tomor-
row and what it holds for us and
the world.
The Negroes stake in the coming
Presidential election is a mighty
big one. There has been great
deal of talk about what he is en-
titled to during the past 10 or Is
years, but except for the enter
prise of the NAACP and associ-
ated organizations in effectine
certain changes in our national
pattern through the Courts, prac-
tlcally nothing has been done leg
lslately to correct the Negroes basic
complaints.
While several of the states. not
ably New York, have taken steps

to write into the law measures to
cut the ground from under the
bigots, the Federal legislature has
accomplished nothing. The Pres
idential election and the year 1852
are. therefore, most important for
the Negro because time may be
running out on him in his flight
for freedom" The world is dy-
manic, true enough, and it would
be naive to say that it will soon
become static. However, history
has shown that there is greater
ferment at one time than there is
at others. At one period in his
tory, social changes occur rapidly,
at others, the change is impercept
ible-depending on the climate at
the time.
The world today, doubtless, is
undergoing vast changes. 1t IS
ripe for these changes, and it be-
hooves the Negro to bestir HIM
self and take such action as will
serve to make the best of most
favorable situation. We must not
be willing to settle for temporary
measures. At a time when the
climate is good, we ought to get
in our best planting. 1t may be
many years before conditions will
be as propitious.
If the cause of the Negro is not
advanced materially during these
times, the blame must be borne
solely by his leadership. The
people themselves do not under
stand and cannot interpret all
the problems and issues. They
do not always recognize the diff
ference between bright promises
and bold deeds. 1t is up to the
leadership to clarity these things
failure to do it is dereliction;
to mislead is betrayal.
