Mr. Villard is a grandson of the great abo lutionist, William Lloyd Garrison, the high-minded idealist who provid ed the chief impetus of the Abolition movement. Garrison’s importance as a dominating figure in starting the campaign against slavery is conceded by historians. The Liberator, the mouthpiece of the Abolition movement and of the more intelligent colored people, was first published on January 1, 1831, just one hundred and four years ago. This is one of the three notable events in the history of the anti-slavery contro versy. The first number of the Lib erator contained an ‘“Address to the Public” which sounded the keynote of Garrison’s career; “I shall contend for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population—I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice on the subject—I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation—I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard!” The Liberator was voluntarily dis continued by Garrison in 1865. MINISTER RAPS “IMITATION OF LIFE” AS SUBTLE PROPAGANDA --- Cleveland, O., Jan- 25.—Before one of the largest congregations ever massed at a Sunday morning service at historic Mt. Zion Temple Congrega tional church, Rev Horace White, pas tor, flayed the cyurrent Universal film success, “Imitation of Life,” as the most subtle bit of propaganda recently from Hollywood against the American Negro and his fight to prove his suf ficiency and fitness as an American citizen. Rev. White’s criticism came on the eve of the third successive weekly run of this photoplay at the Alhambra theatre following a one week’s stay down town. The picture, starring Louise Beavers and Fredi Washington, has established somewhat of a local record; crowds have surged in and out of the theater fo? er for the past two weeks and on many occasions not even standing room has been available. The theatre management has tried to ac commodate its clients by advising matinee attendance. In view of this wide interest Rev. tor, flayed the current Universal film had caught the fancy of so many theatre-goers. He saw it twice and then read the Fannie Hurst novel from which it was adapted. At last week’s services he announced that his sermon for the following week would be on “Imitation of Life.” The local press played it up during the week. Sunday morning the big gest crowd in many a Sunday came out in the rain to hear the message Play a Paradox “The picture at first struck me as being quite impressive. It was not al together true to life, it certainly was entertaining and the characters were splendidly costumed. Upon second thought, however, I felt that there was something definitely real and also something definitely unreal about the performance. Jt was no more than its I title suggested—a mere imitation of life. I observed that the producer had displayed some courage, which is more than they usually do, but not enough for the production to be en tirely realistic. Unfortunately, he had to keep an eye upon the box-office. Consequently, he sought to preserve intact the white man’s concepts of so cial equality; but in so doing he ig nored the many common human pas sions, sorrows and sufferings the in tensity of which mfakes man for the moment forgetful of social and anti social barriers and prejudices.” What could have been more real istic or even human, he pleaded to his audience, than for Miss Bea, the white j mother made rich by Delilah’s ingen-1 uity, to suggest that her daughter and NATIONAL RECOVERv ADMINISTRATION School Calls .3,000 Jobless In Balti more Under FERA Adult Education Program. By Edgar G. Brown School bells in Baltimore are peal ing daily for over 3,000 adult persons who ordinarily would not answer their call, according to Davis E. Weglein, superintendent of public instruction. They are among the unemployed. The attack on idditeracy began a year ago. Funds were provided by the FERA, of which Harry L. Hopkins is Administrator, to employ teachers. These teachers in turn were placed at the disposal of adults desiring a higher plane of learning while waiting for jobs or for persons wanting col legiate education after high school training. Today, in the State of Maryland, as all over the country, grandpa can ac company his grandchildren to the schoolhouse. He can choose the sub ject he likes best (provided it will be of some use to him and meets the ap proval of the Department of Educa tion). Mother, too, may take advan tage of this free training and at tend classes n parent education. Her youngest child, not yet ready for school, may begin his readin’ and writin’ in the e.ght nursery schools scattered throughout the city. Dr. Weglein said: “As long as the funds are provided we will continue to provide education for any group of adults desirous of learning. We feel that it is a noble work for it not only combats illiteracy, but gives employ ment to our teachers and boosts the morale of the students.” Dr. Weglein said that 152 teachers had been employed in the past year and more would be given jobs as stu dent enrollment increased. He said the largest group to take advantage of free training was in the general edu cational field, where such subjects as home economies and the industrial arts are taught. There are 1,948 stu dents attending these classes, rang ing in age from sixteen to sixty. Nearly 800 persons, 300 white and 500 colored, in Baltimore, are pursu ing college courses. Five hundred mothers are enrolled in the parent education classes. Although most of the classes are at night or in the early evening, they are in no way connected with regular night public schools. » “It is interesting to note,” said Mr. Martin M. Hihns, director of evening Peola, Delilah’s lone child, be sent a way together to some good school rather than alone to some good Col ored school ? At the beginning of the funeral procession what could have been more natural than for M ss Bea i to have taken Peola into her arms and onto the same seat in her car with j the rest of her party rather than per i m.t her to sit with the chauffeur? In other words, there is definite •Topaganda against the negro. Rev. i White summarized these points under three heads. In the first place, “An • Imitation of Life’’ teaches that we are insufficient as Negroes to make our contribution to American citizenship; I in the second place, it stresses the in ference that Negroes are by prefer ence subserviently attached to white people, leaving the problems of the world to J»e solved by others; and in the third place, it pictures the negro as content to go to heaveen in all his glory. The first point, according to Rev. White, represents the most subtle bit of propaganda in the photoplay. It is the psychology of an inferiority com plex, indicating that the Negro as such is socially and intellectually un fit to make his contribution to society and that before he ever will be in a position to do so the Negro’s chief aim should be “to be white,” to emulate, if unable to assimilate, the white man’s mental, social and ethical atti tudes. “We must combat this type of mechanical psycholog;',” asserted Rev. White in a pleading and commanding voice. “It is just what the white man wants us to be,—weak, flimsy, and contented. Perhaps, this psychology characterized the masses of Negroes in the 19th century. My message to the young people of this country is for you to forget the lessons inferior ity complex which your elders have so well learned and to free yourselves of the incidents and experiences inherent in the development of such a complex. Pe®la Is Unreal “Pec-la is unrealistic, a myth. There are no such Negroes who would give up wealth and respect simply to be a white cashier. Thousands and thous ands of fair complexioned Negroes go over to the other side each year for the sake of better economic livelihood, but there are millions of other fair ones who remain among us proud of their affinity and who contradict each day of their life the doctrine that the white man is superior simiply because he is white. Rev. White paused for a mpment. Then he directed the attention of his ccngregaton to the scene where Miss -——■— schools and the FERA emergency educational program in Baltimore, “There are more colored unemployed taking advantage of the college work offered by the federal government, notwithstanding the fact these oppor tunities were not available for them until this school year, due to our in ability to find suitable housing facili ties.” The following table shows the bene fits which have come to unemployed teachers under the FERA adult edu cational program in Baltimore for both races: Adult educational teachers now em ployed—white, 41; colored 21. Parental teachers—white, 12; cal ored 5. Nursery school teachers—white, 20; colored, 10. College center teachers—white, 20; colored, 23. Total—white, 93; colored, 59. ‘INSULT ALL NEGRO PATRONS’ Are Orders Of New York Department Store Owners To Their White Employees. New York.—(CNA>—Employees of Ohrbach’s and Klein’s, two of New York’s largest department stores, are instructed by the store managers to “insult all Negro patrons, so they won’t come back again”. This was re vealed last week in an interview with several employees of these two stores who are on a five-week old strike against the inhuman conditions under which they are forced to work. The principal demands of the strik ers are for higher wages and union recognition. The strike is being led by the Office Workers Union compos ed of both Negro and white workers. Efforts of the store officials and the Regional labor board to break the strike and split the ranks of the workers have been unsuccessful. The Office Workers Union is opposed to all discrimination against Negroes. Prominent in the leadership of the strike is George Carter, Negro work er of Harlem, who has been arrested and beaten up by the police for his militant activity. Bea, Delilah and Elmer are planning to incorporate their pancake industry. The scene closes with Elmer’s laconic characterization of Delilah, “Once a pancake, always a pancake!!” “Deli lah is not a 20th century; Negro,” con tinued the minister- “She’s a thing of the past. She represents the Negro as an under dog. And she is subser vient because she wants to be and not because of the white man. Such a psychology shows that the Negro is unfit for proving his right to Amer ican citizenship.” Tennesseans Confer About Race Matters Sixteenth Annual Meeting of State Interracial Commission Held In Nashville. Nashville, Tennessee, Jan. 26.—In the midst of the worst blizzard of the season, a representative group of in terracial leaders met here Tuesday morning and afternoon in the six teenth annual conference of the Ten nessee Interracial Commission. Health education, interracial cooperation in other fields, and the fight against mob violence were among the topics dis cussed. W. E. Turner, of the State Depart ment of Education, reported progress in the improvement of Negro schools. Dr. Robert E. White, of the State Department of Health, gave a dis couraging picture of health conditions among Negroes and stressed the need ! of better public health facilities to deal with these conditions. The Negro death rate in Tennessee, he stated, is practically equal to the birth rate. The Negro death rate from tuberculo sis is two and a half times that of white people, and their infant mortal ity is twice as high. Rev. T. C. Barr reported on church efforts for better race relations, and Mrs. J. D. Charis, Mrs. Frankie Pierce, and Miss Grace Eaton, all of Nash ville, told of interracial work among women. The conference was ad dressed also by President W. J. Hale of A. & I. State College, Dr. L. L. Patton of Chattanooga, and Dr. Alva W. Taylor of Vanderbilt Universityi Resolutions were adopted commending Governor McAllister and the sheriff of Bedford county for their vigorous and effective stand against the Shelby ville meb. The following officers were elected to serve during 1935: President, Rev. T. C. Barr; vice president, Rev. Day ton A. Dobbs; executive secretaries, J. D. Burton and Robert E. Clay; re cording secretary, Rev. J. D. Barber; treasurer, B. L. Sadler. Emergency Relief Administration Fire FERA Nursery Schools For Colored Children In West Virginia Announcement was made this week to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emer gency Relief Administrator, by the State supervisor that five FERA nur sery schools for colored children are operating in West Virginia. Two nursery schools are located in houses formerly used by the local coal company in East Beckley and Morgan town. The colored Masonic Hall in Huntington has been provided for the, use of another of these schools. In Hinton, the Baptist Church is the lo caton for the nursery project. One of the teacher’s cottages in Charleston has been turned over to the author ities for the colored nursery school. Mrs. A. L. Spaulding, Negro Ad visor to the West Virginia Relief Ad ministration, was high in her praise of the work being done for children under four years of age through these recently-established nursery schools for under-privileged children in West Virginia. “It is hoped,” said Mrs. Spaulding, “that the local school governments of our State will be able to enlarge this unique educational a*d social project along the lines set up by Dr. Grace Langdon, FERA specialist, in Emer gency Nursery Schools.” PRESIDENT-EMERITUS MYRON W. ADAMS GUEST AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Atlanta, Geo., Jan. 11.—Special Dr. Myron W. Adams, since 1929 president emitus of Atlanta Univer sity, returned to Atlanta during the Christmas holidays to view the pro gress and the many changes that have taken place at the University since his departure.

Doctor Adams first became associat ed with Atlanta University in 1889. During the forty years he remained at the Universty, he served in various capacities—as professor of Greek, then as dean, and later as president.

The girl claimed that she was was on her way home from a “visit to her father,” manager of of a local hotel, wh'en a “Negro ran up from behind and knocked her down.” Despite the darkness of the night and a reported des perate struggle, the girl was able to describe her “attacker” as wearing a “gray hat, overcoat and suit.”
