GREAT INTEREST
IN N. A. A. C. P.
St. John's A. M. E. 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.
