It is like a deadly weapon con u ithin. We must make this discovery that jeal ousy is a twin sister of ignorance, yet our own ignorance st thing for us to discover. We spend a lile tim ; other fellows’ ignorance, while we might be mending our own. It is natural, you expect some things from some pe<. we are prone to follow or look to for leadership. In this capacity of leadership we at least ex pect intelligent guidance. . Incidentally one of the most regrettable attairs made . Iv appearance in our community a few weeks ago as to the result of a jealous and ignorant leader. Anv man, whether he be white or black, who seeks po\ leering, cursing, and double crossing oth ers is the victim of ignorance. The saddest part of all is that we have who are ready to follow and if necessarv die for a dumb leader, who would sell his birth right for publicity and power. to wake up? Cant you see that behind the monsters, j< isy and ignorance, lies prejudice? Are you blinded by your own ignorance? Unfortunately we are not all educated, but there is no law against having common sense.

Bearer Jacbo—The Partial Father (The Literray Service JJureau) Text: And Jacob their father said unto them. Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Sim eon is not, and ye will take Benjam. in away: all these things are against me.—Genesis 42:36. Like Isaac, his own father, Jacob had a favorite child, and he was fool, ishly open in his preferential ex pressions. This son was not diplo matic, or whatever they might have called it then, and was understood to be boasting of his superiority over his brethern. Jacob mourned Joseph as dead, and he gave vent to his feelings in these pathetic words, “Joseph is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.” And this injustice was productive of enmity, jealousy and hatred toward him. And as long as human nature remains the same, such causes will produce like effects. We may never understand this mat ter of a father’s favoritism in loving one child more than another, and yet nothing is more manifestly true But no father is justifiable in assuming such an attitude as did Jacob toward his own young, helpless, innocent son. Book IRevtew FUGITIVES OF THE PEARL” by John H. Paynter (701 51st St., N. E. Washington DC.) * * * Up until the time the author, ®ohn H. Paynter, sent me a copy of his book, “Fugitives of the Pearl”, I had never possessed any of the books put out by the Associated Publishers, Inc., of Washington, D, C. Unfort unately, I was never even able to get a reply to any of my letters to the above publishers, they being one of the few race firms that have stead, fastly refused to cooperate with me in my humble efforts. * * * Apparently, the author is now dis tributing his own books, and I under stand he had quite a few published, the latest one being “Fugitives of the Pearl”. This books is a history of the Edmonson family during the days of slavery and is so written as to make it more thrilling than a novel with its moments of deep tragedy, stirring life drama and bits of hap piness. * • • Throughout, it is a story of human beings, intelligent and strong, but dark, seeking freedom from a condi tion into which they were born. The book derives its name from an un_ successful attempt of seventy-seven slaves attempting an escape on the steamer “Pearl". The attempt was frustrated because of the treachery and jealousy of another race man. * * * The scene of action for the most part is laid right in and around the District of Columbia and the book thoroughly describes how slavery thrived right at the nation's capitol. The author’s relationship to the char, acters in the book makes the story no less interesting, —Clifford C. Mitchell Articles PRISONS AND PRISONERS by Clifford C. Mitchell. • * * For nearly six months now I have been conducting this weekly “Prisons and Prisoners” column for our School News and I have accepted it as a high compliment that at no time has my “copy” been “out” or otherwise tampered with, barring an occasion al typographical error now and then, and with one or two exceptions I have always been free to choose my own subjects: on the other occasions I merely expresed my own viewpoints or observations on some specific theme that wai pertinent at the mo ment. Some weeks ago Thomas decorated this page with a sketch showing his conception of how I looked. A copy of that particular column was sent "to aH the papers, in all parts od^the country, that use other writings of mine Since then I have been beseig ed with inquiries and requests concern ing both thi§ column and School News. * I do not know what have been the experiences of the other contributors, or the sentiments expressed by rela_ 1 ttves or friends to the individual in mates of Jackson Prison but if the letters and editorial messages that I have been receiving are indicative of the others then I would say that the body owe a vote of thanks to McNabb for his tireless ingenuity in creating and pitting across such a wonderful medium as School News ,for crea^jng and maintaining good_ will among influential members of society and the inmates as a whole. In time, this medium can become and undoubtedly ■will become, a pow erful influence in bringing to light a new phase on conditions peculiarly attendant on those convicted of crime and their subsequent effects. It certainly should not appear in congruous that the soealled crimin als could contribute ideas towards solving the conditions that made them criminals. It is not an uncommon occurrence in any prison to see visitors making a tour of inspection through the pris_ on only to learn later that such a tour qualified the visitors to serve as experts on penology or to make them peculiarly fit to sit in judgement on others. We will stretch a point and say that maybe a very keen observa tion enables them to so qualify but we must admit that those who have served years in prison are also quali_ fied Being qualified, however, but with no means of giving testimony is of little consequence and that is just where School News may, some day, fill an important role. Just imagine the benefits that could accrue with a weekly department in this medium in which one page would-be used to furn ish a “case history” of some prisoner and his conclusions or suggestions? If necessary, these weekly subjects could be written without any identi fying name or number but so keyed thar each case could be checked and analyzed. All personalities would be lost and the facts only would become important. In time these cases would attract and come to the attention of those who would become personally interested and in a spirit of fairness and justice would make pertinent investigations and if the facts were substantiated then School News would have found a new .friend for some “forgotten” man. Personally, I hope I have discarded all selfishness^ I have learned to ap preciate opportunities and if any thing that I can write will help to create opportunities for the other prisoners then I am only passing on to others a part of that kindness which I am constantly receiving as the result of contact through School News and other mediums. MARRIAGE ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE by R# A. Adams (The Literary Service Bureau) The many marital wrecks are due to the fact that most marriages are purely on a physical plane. Physic al beauty of form and face, physical grace of carriage, a caressing voice, a bewitching smile, all are attractive physical elements. However, chiefest and most dangerous of the physical elements are those which make sex appeal, awaken sex desire, and incite to sex union. But the physical is not permanent. Illness, accidents, deep sorrow and old age will mar the most beautiful face and change the most symmetrical form. Constant association will tend to make physical beauty less prom inent and less appealing. The phys ical in sex will be sated and perhaps glutted, making commonplace what once seemed irresistably attractive; or perhaps it will end in repulsiveness. In fact; the physical alone is a tie that will not bind. When have come the fading of fac ial beauty, emaciation of physical form, and satiety or exhaustion of sex element, unless there are between a man and a woman stronger ties than these, it wil mean the end of happiness. Unless there shall exist the higher qualities of heart and soul to appeal and bind, there will be wreck—and ruin. Jacob loved Rachel, when first he saw ,her and loved her to the end. But he saw more than her outward beauty He discerned those inner qualities which held his love till death. So it ever has been; so it ever will be. HABITS by A. B. Mann SNAPPING (The Literary Service Bureau) Very disagreeable is the habit des_, cribed as “snapping”, which-means speaking harshly, giving curt and un couth answers, and general unkind ness and discourtesy in speech. As a general thing, these are accom panied with and characterterized byi shrill tones and rising inflection by which the sharpness is accentuated “I’m sorry, I was worried.” “Well I was sick and felt so bad;” “I don’t know what made me do it, but I was just out of sorts;” “This is just on© of my bad days.” These ^ire some of the excuses made by those who lose control and "become snapping turtles, to the (iispleasure, discomfort and dis gust of those who are their victims. Cultivating such a spirit is a ser iously bad habit. Constant snapping will snap the ties of friendship, and persisted in, will ultimately snap the "bonds of love. For it will take a very ■strong love to survive constant fits of ill temper and their manifestation in inexcusable $najrping. , , ♦wwwtmwiwwwmtMWM 1 Office Phone: WE. 0213 1 Res.
