Church Filled Sun day Afternoon for an Enthusiastic Session of the Forum. Another interesting and enthusiastic meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. forum was held Sunday afternoon, March 22, in St. olin’s A. M. E. church with the Rev. John Albert Williams presiding. Fifty-four new members were en rolled. The committee which had been ap pointed to investigate alleged dis criminations at the long school re ported through Mrs. James G. Jewell in the absence of the chairman, Attor ney A. I’. Scruggs. A three-hour in terview had been held with Miss Pow ell, the principal, and the committee Stated that the charges were un founded; that Miss Powell is con fronted with a hard problem in the administration of the school and needs the co-operation of the parents. Much of the criticism to which she has been subjected is due, in the opinion of the committee, to her deep interest in the moral welfare, of several of the pupils and her anxiety to improve conditions. This has been resented on the part of some of the parents as well as the children. The vast ma jority of the Colored pupils in Long school are all that could be desired, hut a few have caused serious trouble; The teachers and principals had in tercepted obscene notes which re vealed a knowledge of viciousness and immorality, unbelievable among pup ils of such tender age. This was by no means confined to the Colored children, Miss Powell frankly stated, hut as the committee had come to in quire about these, she confined her facts to them. She hoped that some of the women of the association would visit the school Wednesday for a talk with some of the older girls anil that they would also take an interest in visiting the homes of some of the recalcitrant children. A committee was appointed to visit the school on Wednesday as suggested. The Rev. W. C. Williams, chairman of the committee on resolutions, which had been authorized to see Chief Eber stein and the press presented the report of that committee, the sub stance of which was printed in last week’s Monitor. He also called at tention to the fact that the Colored fire company is still under white of ficers, despite the fact that there are competent Colored men who can and should fill these positions, as they j once did. The sentiment was hearitly indorsed by several speakers, among whom were the Rev. W. F. Botts, J. W. Long, Sergeant Bailey, W. H. Ran- , some and M. F. Singleton, who said j that the commissioners had side- j stepped and camouflaged long enough. A committee was appointed to take up this matter with Commissioner Harry B. Zlmman. -The committee is as follows: The Rev. W. F. Botts, , the Rev. W. C. Williams, J. W. Long, M. F. Singleton, Isaac Bailey, A. M. j Harrold, W. H. Ransome. Mr. C. B. Hosmer, field secretary of Tuskegee, gave an instructive and j inspiring address indorsing the work of the association and urging co operation in business. He told how Booker T. Washington Jr. had been compelled to leave Alabama, because of his activity in having members, of a mob indicted for lynching a Negro, and how friendly whites hail aided him in escaping to safety from the lawless hill billies of that section. He complimented the local branch on the work it is doing. TI'KKEGEK CU B A number of Tuskegee graduates and former students met at the Pil grim Rest Baptist church, March 23, and organized themselves into a club known as the Omaha Tuskegee club. The following officers were elected: Rev. J. I>. Cram, president; Mrs. Alice Robbin, vice president; Mrs. Harris, secretary; Mr. John Hall, treasurer; Rev. J. H. Mills, chaplain; Miss Catherine Mills, reporter. The meeting will be held at the same place the following Sunday at 1:30 o’clock. CATHERINE MILLS, Reporter.
