Marian Anderson, owner of
America’s most outstanding con
tralto voice, sang at the univer
sity coliseum last Tuesday eve
ning. Miss Anderson exhibited
her wide variety of musical abil
ity by singing a group of Shubert
songs, a group of English and
Irish melodies and a group of Ne
gro Spirituals.
The remarkable poise and
charm which Miss Anderson dis
played during the concert won
her audience almost as much as
her singing. Miss Anderson’s
career should be a shining ex
ample for young Negro America.
One of Lincoln’s young citizens
who has potentialities of being
as great in her own field as
Marion Anderson, is Miss Freddie
Powell, daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
R. H. Powell. Miss Powell is a
product of the southern United
States since she was born in
Vicksburg, Mississippi. After
having lived in Durnt, Mississippi
and St. Joseph, Missouri until
1943 ,Miss Powell moved to Lin
coln with her family.
While attending Lincoln high
school Miss Powell was a member
of Girl Reserves, 4H club and was
president of the Sub Deb Club.
After completing her high school
education in only two and one
half years, Miss Powell was not
only elected to the National
Honor Society but also was
Senior Speaker for her class com
mencement. Miss Powell recently
took an examination for a schol
arship sponsored by the Board
of Regents.
In January, 1947 Miss Powell
enrolled in the University of Ne
braska as a pre-med student.
Miss Powell plans to be a lab
oratory technician. In addition
to her other activities Miss Powell
is Superintendent for the New
man Methodist Sunday School.

Our Children
By Mrs. W. B. Davis
The Teacher Wants To Know You
and we should want to know the
teacher, after all you have in
trusted them with a great re
sponsibility, helping to shape and
mold the object of your affection.
Usually the parents visit the
teacher only when something has
gone wrong. A failing or refrac
tory child will bring about con
ferences. Too often those con
ferences start off on the wrong
foot because the mother is wor
ried or resentful, and because the
teacher so-often feels it necessary
to justify her procedure instead
of clarifying it. It is difficult to
reach an understanding under
such circumstances, even with
the most reasonable people. A
foundation should have been laid
before the trouble started. If
there is no trouble, a mother sel
dom visits school, sometimes she
feels it embarrasses her child to
have her come-particularily if he
or she is in the upper grades.
Classroom visits sometimes db
more harm than good, unless the
parent has the time to come often
and consecutively enough to fol
low and understand the objective
of the teacher. With occasional
visits she is too apt to misunder
stand the procedure. A good
teacher seeks the cooperation of
the parents, usually parents are
found to be willing and interested.
Instead of father and mother say
ing over the supper table that
i they do not understand the
schools of to-day, that they
learned things differently when
they were children, and that
children don’t seem to be getting
proper disicipline anymore,
Mother explains to father just
what things are different and why
they are different. Sometimes
the child psychology of well-read
parents differs, or seems to differ
from everyone else, if the teacher
can visit the homes of their pupils
that gives them a chance to get
acquainted with the fathers as
well as mothers. They learn
something of the children’s back
ground and their parents’ outlook
on life. The children will reap
the ultimate good from such
pleasant associations. The plar
will not be teacher motivated oi
teacher dominated. The id^eas
and the success will derive from
the only possible source, both par
ent and teacher.

Dandruff
One of the most common
diseases of the scalp is dandruff,
besides being a nuisance, it can
cause the hair to'fall out and be
come thin. This is true, however,
only when it has reached a severe
stage.
In order for you to be able to
take care of your scalp, I will tell
you a few things about dandruff,
and how you can keep it under
control.
Dandruff can be caused by
several things—a constant unclean
scalp, excess dryness of the scalp,
a collection of greasy scales in
the scalp etc. There are two
types of dandruff, dry and oily...
Oily dandruff is the most diffi
cult type and is caused from a
functional disorder of the oil
glands.
Why not come in and get a
treatment for your dandruff, and
watch what a difference it will
make in your scalp and hair.
