District officials feel that by

ma elementary building will be
short between A and 5 class

at least 2 rooms per year there
after. 1t is felt, therefore, that
erection of a new building is
Imperative if the District is to

Capacity Crowd
Expected Sat.
For Homecoming

Delaware has never lost a
Homecoming game in nine years
under coach Dave Nelson, but
may be putting its streak on
the line this season.
The Blue Hens, upset in their
first two games, by Lehigh and
Amherst, will entertain the La
fayette Leopards, winner over
Muhlenberg last week, in Della
ware Stadium next Saturday, at
2 p. m. A near-capacity crowd
of $500, including a large num-
Der of alumni returning for
Homecoming is expected to wit
ness the test.
Delaware Coach Nelson is in
a quandary concerning his start
ing lineup for the Lafayette test.
He calls the sluggishness of Hen
backs and lack of hitting on
the line the reason for Della
wares poor showings to date.
| Nelson indicated he may go
with sophomore backs to give
them needed experience for flu
ture wars. Most promising of
these are Halfbacks Tom Mi
lchaels, of Sayreville, N. j., and
Ron Mccoy, of Smyrna, Del,
and Dick Comp, fullback from
Bergenfeld, N. j. Junior Gary
Hebert, of Needham, Mass, will
stay at quarterback. Michaels
led the ground attack against
Amherst with 81 yards.
| Delaware owns a slim 7-6
edge in the long series between
the two schools dating back to
1914. Last year the Hens snap
ped a Lafayette two-game win
streak against them. Nelson's
record against the Leopards is
6-2.
The clash will be preceded
by a Homecoming Parade al
: 1915 on South College Avenue
An alumni goal post party al
the Newark Country Club and
the Student Governme n is
Homecoming Dance will follow
that evening.

fairly distributed. Negro family
life must be strengthened. In some
areas, new minorities need exper-
fenced aid.
In the United States today be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 children
are begging for homes. A majority
of them are born out of wedlOCk,
and non-white. Yet less than
tenth of children adopted annually
are Negroes.
In the last four years the Urban
League has stepped up its nation
wide campaign, begun in 1858. to
awaken the Negro community to
the need for foster and adaptive
homes. Scores of cities throughout
the nation have profited from this
campaign. Result: Substantial in
creases in a number of adaptive
and foster homes found for Negro
children.
The progress of the past brings
the National Urban League to the
point where American Teamwork
between Negroes and whites can
if applied now with sufficient
force, realize the fullest develop
ment of the Negro potential.

citizens considered the situation
so deplorable that they helped
form a Committee for Improving

quently placed at work in houses
of ill-fame. They received jobs
paying wages far less than they
were led to expect when they left
the South. Sometimes there was
no work at all and they
were picked up from the streets
by men about town and by women
who were in search of new persons
for their Illicit business" Disguised
by this situation, an interracial
group in 1906 formed the Ma
tonal League for the Protection
of Colored Women"
Later a third organization,
the Committee on Urban Con-
ditiOns Among Negroes, was
formed and in 1910 the three
groups merged into the National
League on Urban Conditions
Among NegrOes-nOw known as
the National Urban League.
With a measly first-year budget
of $500 this organization began
its assault on the seemingly i'm
pregnable walls of prejudice. The
Urban League army was pitiably
small; even those white men who
suffered pangs Of conscience be-
cause of the Negroes plight were
more inclined to give charity than
opportunity, more inclined to do
things of their choice for the Ne
gro than things of the Negroes
choice with the Negro Even among
the well-intentioned, the idea of
racial equality was weak, the
slavemaster attitude strong. Thus,
in any urban center the most in
fluential Negro was perhaps the
messenger at the bank, the hotei
headwaiter, the downtown barber
To the white man who sought
information as to the Negroes
hopes and aspirations, his chauf-
feur's version was as good as

II Ever To Move
Then. as Hitler's cries Of Aryan
supremacy filled the world with a
lot of fear and a little revIlsion.
something began to happen in
America. where people wanted to
believe. We'll win. because God
is on our side" In this atmosphere,
the voice Of an Eleanor Roosevelt
became louder than that of a
Theodore Bubo. With race a dom
inant ingredient of world politics
the American conscience obviously
was shaken. If the Negro ever was
to move, it must be now.
Move the Negro did! The
1905 and World War ii ush-
cred in a golden age of progress
unmatched by any race-certain-
ly, any minority race-in the
history of human achievement.
In education. science, athletics
and the simple business of civil
izatiOn, Americas Negroes made
amazing strides.
Negroes realized by now that he
who would be free must first des-
troy the basic enemy Of freedom
-ignorance-so the thirst for edu-
cation became a burgeoning force
among them. Since 1910, the num-
Der Of Negroes in colleges and pro-
fessional schools has tripled to
more than 100000 today. There
are ten times as many Negro
students of engineering and arChi-
lecture as two decades ago, and
they are highly sought by the ma
tons leading land most enlight-
ened) firms. The percentage Of
US. Negroes in college is greater
than the percentage of ALL the
people of Great Britain in college
no trifling indicator of education
al progress for a people whose
blood" was deemed 50 Supplying
so years ago that one drop was
supposed to put out the light of
intellect.
Despite unabating cries of I'M
welcome, the Negro like his
white counterpart continued to
abandon rural life, with the result
that today only one Negro in
eight lives on a farm. Whereas the
vast majority Of Negroes lived If
the South half a century ago, to.
day more than a third of the ma,
tons ColOred citizens are in cities
Of the North and West. And they
are quickly adopting city stand
ards: home ownership among Ne
groes was rare in 1910, but toda,
more than one Negro family gu
of three owns it's residence.
The employment picture Is
drastically improved over 1910.
