One Strike, And We Are Out
BY lauren White

If baseball player came to bat with two
strikes against him, he would be seriously
handicapped. He would have to be more alert
have stronger nerves and be a more effective
player than those allowed three full swings
However, if all the teams were playing
sloppy baseball those allowed only one strike
might do about as well as those allowed three
On the other hand those allowed only one
strike would find it much harder to get hits
if the teams started playing better ball
In the economic game of life Negroes are
allowed only one strike. We apply to the bat
ter's box Of American industry with two
strikes against us and the umpires seldom give
US any breaks We are always the last hired
and the first fired. And while on the Job, our
paths are likely to be rougher than the paths
Of other workers
During the last twenty years, unusual
circumstances have aided those of us with two
strikes against US The liberal policies of the
administration in power and the emergencies
of war have encouraged some organizations to
use some sloppy business methods They have
permitted poor workers to remain on their
pay rolls because they couldn't do any better
They have also given Negroes more than their
customary one strike at the ball
AS business conditions change, COMPETE
ton will be kecner and business will be more
discriminating with its employees The poor
worker will be left out and the worker that
has always had two strikes against him will be
in precarious position.
There are some signs on the economic
horizon that point to a business let down. Au-
tomobile dealers and distributors are com
planning that they can't sell cars The auto

Africa Needs U.s.
BY Robert Durr

One hundred and thirty-siX men and wom-
en- arose and said, Il will 60 when the call
was made for BahaI World Faith pioneers to
90 to Africa as teachers, spiritual mission
aries, and pioneers during the recent Inter -
Continental Teaching Conference at Medina
Temple in Chicago and nearby Wilmette, Hi
nois the latter the national headquarters
of Bahais of the United States.
Some of these voluntary pioneers have
already sold their homes and possessions and
are on their way to Africa to word and stay
permanently as a part of the Ten Year World
Crusade to give the Bahai message to man
kind all over the world as they believe their
message is the one for mankind today.
Africa stands at the cross roads today,
Its people are pure and receptive minded. They
vearn for freedom from political and economic
servitude to white protectorate exploiters and
dominators And hence they are susceptible to
Communism or genuine God guided response
bic leadership
They are skeptical of any plan Offered by
white peoples as a means to the freedom and
autonomy they hunger and thirst for, The
white missionary will accomplish little unless
no forpets he is white and even becomes
ashamed of his white skin in view Of the
crimes heretofore and now being perpetrated
on Africa's natives just because of their color

Today there is an over emphasis upon
generalization. Accredited institutions are those
which show facilities approved by accrediting
associations. The acerediting association de-
rives its power from itself.
Accreditation is a substitute for measure
ment.
We need not define the function of
school here; but let us say it is teaching. 1t
is difficult to measure teaching. 1t is hard to
say when teacher is doing a good job of
teaching
And who is going to do the saying? No
body believes the pupils. The parents stay at
home and don't know what is going on. The
building principal has become an administra-
cess and usually does not have sufficient
knowledge of his teachers performances to
give an objective evaluation of the pupil skillS,
knowledges and attitudes produced. The super
visor a factor in the teaching process has
almost ceased to exist. The college dean is al
most as great a nonenity as the elementary SUI
pervisor when it comes to serving, eValuatng
or improving the teaching act,
To all intents and effects today the teach
err is an unsupervised workman True S ne
works in accord with a general plan and pro-
gram, but there is no way to measure her eff
ficienCy and no one to measure it.
Right here the accrediting association
steps in and says, "All right gentlemen, form

White missionaries who 60 forth today as
white missionaries belonging to some sort Of
race supremacy idea will SOW seeds which will
fall on stony ground. The natives remember all
those professional missionaries who came and
made themselves the gates through which the
INSCRIPTIONS, predatory and most selfish hui
man beings fastened the shacLdes of slavery
around the Africans wrists. Thus they in turn
no longer believe or trust white missionaries
This means that Africa needs consecrated
dedicated and trained missionaries who can not
only teach and lead Africans on how to be
good, but also to be good for something to
become productive, strong, free and response
bic first class citizens
There is need for a million Negro Ameri-
cans consecrated trained, dedicated capa-
bic and adaptable And that need will exist
for a score or more years to come.
An important aspect of the whole stu--
ton is the spiritual approach in the full recog-
milton that people are people and that there is
no basically superior or inferior people only
developed or undeveloped people. l recon-
mend the Bahai teachings as the recipe
Negro youth especially should be encour-
aged to prepare themselves by the thousands
to 20 to Africa and help those peoples. This is
a debt the American Negro owes to his Afr-
can ancestors.

Neither Has Anything to Crow About

do know that the officials OF the downtown
stores did receive and promise consideration
to the organization in question. The projects
involved were rest room for Negro women at
Sterling department store, and lunch counter
facilities at Mcclellan store for Negroes.
We do not know, but we understand from
the East End organization that these things
were granted.
Now the members who worked faithfully
with their officials claim that this credit
should be theirs and the public should not be
fooled by some one else taking credit for it.
If the stores in question have really done
these things as claimed by the organization
and our contemporary, that is fine for Negroes
who want to be insurbordinates in spending
their money, but from where we stand, we
don't see where the East End organization or
the editor of a contemporary paper has any
thing to crow about We are trying to destroy
segregation not perpetuate it.

We were approached last week to inter-
vene in controversy that we are not too much
in accord with. On the surface, as it was given
to us, a contemporary of ours, who recently
celebrated his 10th year of publishing news
paper, credits himself with certain accomplish
ments that an East End organization takes the
credit for
The East End organization officials, who
approached us, seemed to be very much con-
cerned over what they termed public decep-
ton" on the part of our contemporary,
We can very we'll understand the officials
feelings for anyone feels very proud when he
thinks he has done something to advance his
race and hates like hell for somebody to wait
until it is accomplished and then take the
credit.
The projects involved are very familiar to
us, for we do know many months ago the or
ganiZation officials were working on the pro-
jects to get Negro customers better accommo-
dations in two downtown stores And too, we

What Good Is An Unaccredited School?
Bv TAYLOR

to the left. We can tell how much money you
have to spend how many books are in your
library, how much and how many laboratories
you have what kind of records you have, what
kind of building and grounds you have If you
what and how many degrees you have If you
have those things, We'll take it for granted
you are teaching
There is this much to be said in favor of
the accrediting association. 1t emphasizes the
facilities of instruction. This emphasis is good
as long as it improves the facilities.
But there is a factor in teaching which is
greater than the teaching facilities, and that
factor is the teaching itself There is o
teaching facility and no combination Of teach
ing facilities which will form substitute r
teaching. If all the books, records, laboratories
and degrees in the world were lost and all
memory of them effaced, man would re- con-
struCt theml,!
Once these things did not exist and man
created them.
1t is good in the midst of these over
equipped institutions which have lost sight of
their teaching function to find here and there
small struggling schools which are doing a
real job of teaching In these small schools,
the student gains in quality of teaching and
thinking what he misses in the way of facili-
ties. The small unaCcredited college is a neces-
sary and potent factor in our mental develop
ment. Do not underrate it,

He's A Great American Now
BY Olive A. Adams

One of the classic cliches in the English
language is that choice little tear erker that
goes Lets give him his flowers while he can
smell them
Now, these words are always uttered in
an attitude of sweetness and light and every
body who says them at one time or another
really means them. 1t is true that people who
deserve praise should get it, and should not
be given grudgingly.
However, the failure to give praise where
it is due does not necessarily show a lack of
appreciation for the person who has turned in
a sterling performance. Withholding praise is,
many times, a sort of left-handed compliment,
for it recognizes the performer as a threat
to his contemporaries a threat in that he
represents competition.
This has come to mind during the past
week since the death of the distinguished Sen
ator from Ohio, Robert A. Taft. If one were
to believe the comments from his opposition
during his lifetime his tactics one might
have thought that here was the most vicious,
the most underhanded, the most unyiedng
and tyrannical despOt ever to have a seat in
the highest legislative body in the land.
Or, one might have thought that Taft
was the enemy of all of the American people;
that he had only his own selfish ends in view
and that he would have, had he had the
chance, ruled the country without any regard
whatsoever for the welfare of the common
man He represented the vested interests"
they said, (whatever vested interests" are)
and he was too dangerous a man to entrust
with great power

And then, the good Senator, after ma
illness, departed this life and only now dr|
one hear that he was a fine American geDtll

Why, then, was there such feeling stinj
up against him? Perhaps most Of the tar
was stirred up by left-wingers who saw in ID
Senator a stumbling block in the way of ti
nefarious plans. We know now that what mod
of them stood for was an actual undermine
of the American system of government LI
him or not, Taft was American to the cord
and he was too smart to let them use s1

little skeptieal as to whether the Negro in dixie
had anything to be thankful for. He has not
been included in the American way of life
far enough to enjoy the privileges that it Of

bound to respect. In most cases he is forced to

of life where he is not welcomed. He is forced
to support places of amusement and recreation
for white people and any other non-Negro
where he had better not stick his head. As
