schools may apply for the in
stitute, but will not be eligible
for the stipend.
Each applicant is required to
have a college degree or its aca-
demic equivalent. Participants
also must have a minimum of
two years of college study or it's
equivalent in French or Spanish.
The final selection of particip-
ants will be made by an admis-
sions Committee at the Univer-
sity.
A participant who has not
been teaching in a public school
prior to the date the institute
begins, but who is preparing to
teach in a public school, can be
approved for a stipend and de-
tendency allowance only if he
can give reasonable assurance
that he will be under contract
with a public school for the aca-
demic year following the in
stitute.
There will be no tuitions or
fees charged to participants of
the institute. Application forms
for the institute may be OBJ
tanned from the director of the
program, and should be post
marked not later than March,
1862.
1t is anticipated that the Sc

nation of Negro History Week,
the observance to extend from
February IL II, 1862. 1t is my
earnest conviction that Presi-
Dental notice and sanction of
such an observance would stim-
ulate and inspire the interest of
American people in general,
without regard to race, toward
the study and examination of
the history and the contribu-
tions to American culture and
the democratic processes of the
American Negro. The value of
such voluntary study and con-
Germ on the part of the general
citizenry in increasing under
standing and bettering the rela-
tions between racial groups, /
am sure, would be profound.
Schools alone which do not
now do so, but which might
give consideration to increasing
their libraries on Negro history
and giving a period of study in
this regard during the obser-
vance period would in themselv-
es make such a proclamation of
tremendous value in bettering
the relations between American
people and, thus, enhancing
the world image of America.
In stimulating such interest,
a national proclamation would
be of value also because one
of the concern of many Negro
students and Negro adult citi-
zens is that their educational
background, outside of all
Negro schools, leaves a void in
the area of knowledge of the
history of their own people.

Another Attack?
At Kabonga, in north Ka-

had killed four missionaries
and IL civilians.
Another attack also was re-

The attack occurred during
battle between rival tribal

north of Kongolo where rebel
troops repeatedly massacred 18
Roman Catholic priests and a
lay brother on New Years

About 80 white fathers and
some Franciscan nuns were
believed to be based at the
Sola mission, which contains a
college and a girls school.
