the French government can look
forward to settling its major diff

out. Despite the progress that has
been made, there is still strong
possibility of serious bloodshed in
Morocco within the next few

Today's mood of optimism in
Paris contrasts strangely with
ominous reports Of brewing vio-

is that trouble will start Monday

Who's The Blame. The Teacher or 49,.
BY Olive A. Adams

When all the tumult and the shouting dies about what is
happening to our young people today, perhaps we will have
gotten some idea as to who is to blame for what. Surely all
of the discussion that now goes on brings to light many griev-
ances that perhaps couldn't be aired before, One such grieV-
ance is that of the teacher and her disciplinary problem.
a recent survey among members by the American Fedora
ton of Teachers. pointed up the fact that teachers feel the
need for tighter discipline in the schools. Perhaps many of
us had not realized before that in this whole take 1t easy
era, the teacher has been the one who carried the load. Par
ents often sent their children TO school with an attitude of
you teach him that's what yuo're paid for and
offered little in the way of help in controlling an unruly
youngster. There have been many instances in which teachers,
in an attempt to get at the root of a chld's difficulty have
sent for parents asking for some insight into the chnds prob
lem, only to be met with complete Indifference. A harsh word
or a disciplinary act on the part of the teacher, however,
brought on a parental TRADE.
On the other hand, if a child m~isbehaved in the class
room and the teacher adhered to the strict rule of mo
hands," she was often bulied by some of her nearadult charg-
eS. And, all too often, if she referred the culprit to the prin-
cipal, she was thought of as a poor teacher, one who should
be able to control her class. Quite a dilemma!
On the surface, this would appear to be a sad commen-
tary on schools in general. 1t might leave the impression that
they are all pretty bad. But the fact is, it takes only one or
two such cases to disrupt a whole class or spoil a whole school
Even a thoroughly dedicated teacher would find the shedding
difficult under such circumstances.
The current concern over delinquency may be a bless
ing in disguise. Thru attempting to fix the blame, there may
swer may be found in work programs for older children; it
may be found in accelerated programs for children who are
capable of progressing at a faster rate, Some part of the an
swer to the problem most surely will be found in aleviating
the overcrowding and providing better facilities.
Many of the teachers who have expressed themselves thru
long time, but were not able to make themselves heard. But
with the public demanding to know the why's" and the
"wherefors' now, perhaps the real culprts will be brought
into the opening.

Dirty Windshield Can Kill YOU
S, S. Taylor

What you don't see can kill you" this was a warning
given by a radio broadcaster to get drivers to keep bef
~windShieds clean, 1t is good advice for everybody In every
thing. What you DON'T see can kill you.
1t is particularly appropriate for the Negro at this the.
We are at a critical stage on our racial highway and it Is OF
utmost Importance that cur w%indshields be clean,
As a slave, the Negro had a master TO look for him as
long and as far as was to the masters advantage. Some were
killed; some raped; many degraded and all worked but te
master looked for them enough to keep their bodies at work
and their minds asleep.
AS a mental, the Negroes users looked for him as long
as looking for the used profted the user. The mental did a
big part of the big job of filling the land and clearing away
the forests. The thrifty but used mental could 60 a CONSIDER
able distance as long as he did not try TO use ms own eye
sights.
AS a bowling, scraping, handkerchief-head, timeserving
Uncle Tom. the Negro will be able to use the eyes OF even
the Simon Iegrees of human experience as long as he plays
Charlie Mccarthy for such racial oppressors as DIXON, lll-
man, vardaman, Blbo, and their fk. Even those men did the
looking for those Negroes who sang their tunes sanctioned
a program Of inferiorty' segregation discrimination DONNA
ton, and low economic returns for the whole race,
It is time for workers in general and Negro leaders IN
particular to wipe their Windshields. What they don't see can
kill them, or, maybe. the race they represent What they
can see with 2O20 cearness and clean windshields can bring
them economic security and first class citizenship
Parents need to wipe their windshields clean so that they
can see their children walking past Central hi to get to Dun
bar, and children admitted to shorthand and tipping in the
one place who are denied at the other.
Conscientious and prepared teachers should wipe their
windshields clean so that they can see that a system which
looks only for efficiency is not only best for the public but
best for the efficient teacher. The Negro child, like any other
child, is entitled to an efficient teacher, and the efficient Ne
gro teacher has gone up, not down in integrated systems.
Ministers need to wipe their w~indshields so that they can
see the moral and ethical issues in the policies of educational
segregation, economic discrimination, and political disfranchlse-
ment. What good is a church which Is bllnd as a sinner Ill
ethical issues?
Lawyers particularly need to wipe their windshields and
to keep steady hands on the steering wheel. The Negro needs
Just now lawyers with clean windshields, 2O-2O vision, and
1920 courage to drive thru the present crisis.
For, the Negro is at a time of crisis, and if he is to live
and go forward, he must have a clean windshield

It's No Laughing Matter

Jack Benny, a comedian who has endeared himself 10 fa-
do and TV audiences for his remarkable wit and sense OF
timing, proved recently that there are some things ne take
very seriously.
Speaking in Boston to a large audience of Catholics, prot
estants and Jews, Mr.. Benny had this to say on the subject oil
brotherhood:
while men lie fighting and dying together color and
creed become relegated to their proper place of unimportance.
A soldier lying wounded on the battlefield doesn't care II the
hands that lifted him out of the stretcher and carried him 10
safety were black or white. Nor in a hospital does he care II
the hfe-saving blood he gets came from a Catholic, Protestant
or Jew. A funny thing, a bullet has no name on it it merely
says, to whom it may concern

to the college. However, we can not go along with the pres
emit leadership.
c. That these conditions are Objectionable to very very
many of the leading Negro Baptsts whe are familiar with The
situation.
On April &c our Executive committee had its attention
called to these conditions, whereupon it instructed its treas
urer to withohold its contributions until the situation could
be made satisfactory to a committee which was duly appoint
ed This is the procedure which is followed when our own
Cwhitel institutions are involved.
We take the position that the Board of Trustees of the
college and the Executive Board Of the Negro Consolidated
convention can correct these errors, and that it should be
done at once, and thereby make it possible for our Board to
continue to help the college with our money. But so far as
we can learn, nothing has been done to correct the situation.
Feeling that both our own (white) people and our Negro
brethren should know the whole truth about the matter, we
make this statement. We are waiting on our Negro brethren
to correct what we consider a far-reaching error.

The velvet bean belongs to that family Of plants known
as legumes. 1t is advantageous to grow legume crops for for
age for two reasons, legumes are high IN prote1nand they
add nitrogen to the soil. The velvetbean is a broadleaf plant
that thrives well in our climate. It's seeds are rather large
and smooth varying in color from white to black. 1t is a pro-
life seed producer and makes an abundant amount of for
age. The v~elvetbean is brown and handled as an annual crop.
It is a fast-groWing plant. There are many varieties OF vel
vetbeans including both why and bunch types. The why
types usually exceed the bunch types in yields OF forage.
The crop has one distinct advantage over many other
legumes when grown here on our highly alkaline soils. The
~velvetbean has been found to be tolerant to the high lime
content of the soils of our islands. In addition, 1t is rather
drought-resistant making it adaptable to use as green forage,
through a large portion of the year.
The seeds. Of many legumes require special treatment
before planting. These special treatments are scarification
breaking the seedcoat to aid gerninationl and incubation
adding bacteria to enable the plants to form nodules on their
roots) before planting. The seeds OF velvetbeans DO not re-
uuire either Of these treatments before being planted. Vel
vetbeans have one disadvantage in that the stems, leaves,
and fruiting pods are covered with a fine fuzz which causes
to some people a skin irritation when the seeds are harvested
In fact, the ~velvetbean is actually a kind of tame and civil
lied cowhage (coW-itch). But don't let its rude relatives scare
you. Remember that your pet puppy is a tame ana civilized
wolf.
The crop may be planted either in rows or broadcast. It
may be planted alone or in combination with other crops
The forage may be utilized by livestock either directly from
the field or made into hay or slage. In many areas livestock
are allowed to Craze the crop directly from the field thereby
eliminating the cost of harvesting. A combination OF velvet
beans and corn makes a nexcellent mixture which may be
utilized by livestock such as cattle or hogs directly from the
field The crop increases the protein content and nutrifve
value of hay and silage in which it may be used. One other
very good grass to grow in combination with velvetbeans is
guinea grass. This also makes an excellent grass-legume com
bination for grazing. This same mixture may be made into
silage. Velvetbeans should occupy a prominent position in
the forage crops grown in our islands.
