CALIFORNIA’S LESSON (From he Omaha World Ilearld—Monday, May 14, 1934) Wednesday night near Los Angelts two masked men kidnapped from his estate William F. Gettle, a wealthy til man.As they carried him off they answered a friend’s remonsrance with the snarl: “No soft stuff. We’re here here for business. This is kidnapping.” This incident reminds us of invetably of the kidnap ing in California last vear of Brooke Hart, of his murder, and of the lyching at San Jose of Hart’s abductors, to gether with Governor Rolph’s comment: “This is the best ldSison that California has ever given the country- We ■how the nation that this state is not going to tolerate kidnapping.” Governor Rolph thus had condoned one of the great est crimes against society, a crime greater even than kid napping—lynch law. The truth is now brought home to Him that any concession to violence, no matter by what pretext, breeds more wiolence. The war upon kidnappers ivas hurt, rather than helped, by the San Jose lynching. California now gives that lesson to the nation. One hopes Governor Rolph has learned it at last. THE CHURCH INQUIRY COLUMN By Madoline E. Sterling. “SAFETY FIRST” By, Rev. F. P. Jones Pastor Of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church “If any man will come after me, let him deiny himself.” * Matt. 16:24. These words, spoken by Jesus himself, do not mean occasional acts of self-denial, temporary fasts self-imposed moments of hard-ships; but they ean a total repudiation of self as the object of love. An uncondition al surrender of self as the first object of consideration. Unless this is done no Christian can adopt the maxim; “Take care of Number One,” unless he has made Christ Number One. “Safety First” may be a very good motto if only we define ‘safety’ alright. Whose safety are we refering to? certainly not our own: But the safety of _ life? If not why? The call is to the world, and ‘Whosoever will, let him Are you living the ‘Safety-First' come-” mo^sbiu jo | society, the safety of others, the ! safety of others, the safety of the king j dom of God- He who places any one or anything else first is guilty of reversing the Christian order. Is it possible to modify the tendency of human nature so as to set up an other personality than our own, as ‘number one’? Of course it is pos sible When a man marries, if he has a worthy idea of matrimony. His feel ings of loyality, love, and devotion, are sometimes iavished with extrem ity, upon another—his wife- The whole philosophy of selfish ness may be shattered, by the sight of a baby’s face, or the thought of a ^ittle life so helplessly dependent, and so devine This program of the ‘Christ Life’; Self dethroned, Christ enthroned and the adoption of Christ’s standard of values- We must care for the things that he cared for; we are forced to admit things that were made supreme by him. However much we may be inclined to do otherwise, we are forced to admit that this old world in which we live has changed the philosophy of the life which Christ taught and lived, to a self-centered committee of three, consisting of “I, Myself and Me " But remember, my friend, there is ao other standard, no other phil osophy by which we may live as Christians, exxcept the standard, and the philosophy that were established by Christ himself He. is the only ‘Code’ by which we should be governed, the only ‘Safety First’ sign that should guide us- If this is done, we may be j assured that we are denying our- j selves, and following in the footstep i CRIME FORSEEN IF SCHOOLS DON'T PRE PARE STUDENTS Washington —(CNS)— The recent National Conference on Fundament al Problems n the Education of Ne groes meeting here last week was told by President Roosevelt that: “As yet all too small a percentage of the Negro children of our country, especi ally in its rural sections, enjoys ade quate or equtable facilitie for the education which is America’s goal for every child.” And that “We have neither schools enough properly to accomodate the chldren who should be in attendance, nor educational offer ngs of the quality and variety adapted to their needs.” At the same time Dr. George J. Ryan, president of the Board of Ed ucation, in New Yory City, told a group of educators that: “Unless the school syptem is capable of preparing young people foj. the leisure of tomor row, as well as for the vocation, the country will pay for the neglect ten fold and over in crime, debility and hitman waste.” The educators met to begin a move ment to prepre the damage of the de pression in schools in the United State Dr- Ryan said: “You can patiently wait for nation al most every field, but you dare not in lmost every field, but you dare not permit millions of school children to grow up either physically or mentally starved.” “Nothing offered in later years can fill the void caused by malnutrition of mind or body during the tender formative years of the growing child “For the best interests of humanity the backward march of education must be halted- Our Nation can survive only so long as we are true to the basic ideals of education. We can not be loyal to our nation if we suffer our schools to be detroyed any further ” Dr. Harold G- Campbell, superin tendent of schools, said educators have been “shocked to witness the enormous toll that education has had to pay on the battle fields of the pre sent economic depression.” “The heroism of the American teacher in their efforts to save ed ucation from tho horrors of this ec onomic war can never be fully record ed” Dr- Campbell concluded. The National Conference on Funda mental Problems in the Education of Negroes set forth the following as “Immediate National Objectives and Ideals”—to be based on the principle of the single standard in education A- AVAILABILITY OF EDUCA TION—schools and colleges available and accesible fr all Negro children, LOUISAN A PEACE OFFI CERS ASK ANTI LYNCH ING LAW Repudiate Mob Violence and Endorse Work of Southern Women for of teachers, curriculum offerings, dequate in length of term, number equipment and facilities B. TEACHERS AND TEACHING —Selection, training, compensation and working conditions of teachers in keeping with the highest standards of profesional growth and leadership in recognition of their outstanding importance in the education of Negro children and in the leadership of Negro life; and the acceptance of. the responsibility by all teachers of Negro youth to teach the fundamental princi pies and issues underlying our econom ic and social order. C. FINANCIAL SUPPORT — Adequate financial support for all schools for Negro children equitably distributed, and intelligently ad ministered. with full recognition that there can be but one standard of ade quacy. D. ADMINISTRATION —Larger participation in the administration and control of scholg by intelligent re presentatives of the people served: and cirriculum diffrentiation and adap ttion bed on individual needs rather than on race E- SEGREGATED SCHOOLS — Discouragement of and opposition to the extenion of segregated schools. Vocational Agriculture Boys Get Production Loans Washington—(CNS—Boys enrolled in vocational agriculture courses in 5,300 rural high schools in the United States who are still minors may ob sociations for financing farm projects, tain loan from production credit as under a cooperative plan worked out by the Farm Credit Administration and the agrcultural service of the Fed eral Office of Education. Under the Smith-Hughes law, through whch Federal assistances is extended to vocational education pro grams in the various States, farm boya who enroll for vocational agriculture courses are required to undertake suprvisd farm practice. To start their projects, which are conducted on the home farm under the supervision of the agricultural teacher, pupils fre quently find it necessary to have a flock of chickens, sdme cattle, seeds, fertilizer, or similar upplies necessary for the proper handling of these pro jects- It is to furnish funds for out lays of thi character that production credits loan have been arranged. Production credit associations as or ganized and charted under the Farm Credit Act are authorized to make loans to farmers for general agricul tural purposes . These associa tions, however, do not handle loans for as small amounts as are ordinarily required by Vocational agriculture stu dents to finance their school projects A.dded contract. To overcome these difficulties, therefore, boys needing loans may secure them as a group ^ a chapter of the Future Farmers of Amerca or a similar organization of vocational agriculture students- Group borrowers will organized themselves into a Student Credit and borrow the total amount needed, as ane loan, through an “adult borrower,” who will give a “master” note for the total a munt for a period of time ciocide with the duration of the projects covered. As collateral for hs master note the adult borrower will present the indi vidual notes of each student borrower, signed by the parent or guardian or another adult, and endorser by the adult borrower To safeguard these production loans to vocatinnal agriculture students, a statement setting frth the nature, prrpose, plan, kind and scope of the project of each participant, and the assurance of the supervisor Oj. spon sor that the conduct of these projects will be supervised and proceeds of all sales therefrom remitted to the production credit association credit associatin, must be submited with each loan application.
