D. S. Judge
Rejects Gary
School Suit

HAMMOND, Ind. - A suit
filed by a group of Negro par
ents charging racial segrega-
ton in the Gary school system
was rejected by a Federal
judge here, who called the situ-
alton an outgrowth of segre-
gated housing.
US. District Judge George
". Beamer, who heard the
case, stated that the court has
no actual duty to "integrate
the races as to bring about /.
a racial balance in the schools
Citing the concentration of
Gary's large Negro population
in a single part of the city,
the judge said, sit is almost
inevitable that a racial imbal-
ance will result in certain
schools"
HE CLAIMED the situation
was no reason to abandon or
destroy an entire neighborhood
school system.
The suit is believed to be the
first filed in the North against
an entire school system. The
parents of 100 Negro pupils in
Gary had charged "de facto"
segregation in the city's school
districts, saying that they were
laid out along neighborhood
lines in such a way as to create
a racial barrier.
The bustling steel producing
city has a 39 per cent Negro
population, while school enroll
ment is SO per cent Negro.
JUDGE BEAMER said the
parents in their suit had failed

regated" schools received in

Speaks To Mixed
Group In Iowa
DES MONIES. Iowa

DES MONIES, Iowa
DR.. Earnest A. Smith, president
of Rust College for Negroes at
Holly Springs, Miss, addressed a
racially-mixed worship service
here Sunday in recognition Of
Brotherhood Week.
The service - held jointly by
the congregation of a Negro and
white church, was believed to be
the first such service in the city.
DR.. Smith told the combined
congregations it was beyond the
power of the church members or
any one man to solve the race
problem which he termed the ma
tons major challenge.
He said young Negroes for
generations would be "The sacri-
fical offering" necessary to end
the problem.

Negro History Week
February 1917

The Association for the
Study of Negro Life and His
tory, Inc, founded, Septem-
ber 9, 1915 by Carter Gowdin
Woodson, has announced this
years observance of Negro
History Week for February 10
through the 18th. This years
Theme: Strengthening Anne
rica Through Education in
Negro History and African
Culture.
The first Negro History
Week celebration was launch
ed in February, 1926 by DR..
Carter Goodwin Woodson, and
was short period devoted
to public exercises emphasiz-
ing the salient facts of history
influenced by Negroes-main-
ly facts brought to light by
the researches and publica-
tiOnS of the Association for
the Study of Negro Life and
History, during it's first eleven
years. This effort was widely
supported by schools, church
es and clubs among Negroes
and the movement gradually
found support among institu-
tionS OF other races in Ameri-
ca and abroad. Today the eel
ebration enjoys widespread
participation.
The observance comes each
year about the End Sunday in
February, the objective being
to select the week which will
include both February II and
IA. Negro History Week is
meant to embrace the birth
days of both Abraham Lin
coin and Frederick Douglass
in the latter case, the date
that Douglass calculated must
have been his natal day.
Sometimes the celebration
can include only one date, at
such times the selected date
must include Frederick Doug
lass.
4 years ago the Association
began the sponsorship of
proud American Day" and
this has become a regular
feature of Negro History
Week. The birth date of Fred
erick Douglass was chosen
for proud American Day"
because the life of Douglass
is typical of what the cele-
bration commentaries.
America is a land to whose
greatness the individuals of
many races have made sig
nificant contributions. That
which has become America
ma" has a Negro base. The
music of America features
the Negro idiom and most
phases of the other arts show
the Negro influence. In other
areas of Americana" can
we imagine the greatness Of
baseball with Jackie Robin
son, of track with Jessie Ow-
ems, of Basketball without Bill
Russell, or of football without
Ollie Matson? In fact, in every
part and parcel of America,
