[OOOR. CHILD*? ; Am rat school ' ^ Br D- ALLEN G. IRELAND LWwr. rtymd *4 H~M Uaatim / Nrm jrttrj $m Dtpmtmtm 4 tmUk ImhmrXm The Recitation It would be interesting, If not tragic, to know how much of one’s self that is called character or per sonality or queerness is due to a situation in child life like the school recitation. We don’t often think of it, but although it is too late for os it isn’t too late to be think ing about the chil dren of today and tomorrow. In the formative years of child hood, the individual is being shapeo by every experience of daily life And if you can recall feelings, you 11 know that the recitation is a real experience. It is pleasant foi the bright pupil who is prepared and knows it. His name is called. He is elated. "I know that answer/' ■peaks an inner knowledge. While the ego gloats, “111 show these other kids." Another kindling is added to what may become a dan gerous trait if we’re not wise enough to guide it. Self-confidence is desirable, but self-assurance of one’s superiority over “common stuff” is bad. I'm more worried, however, about the unpleasant experience. Per haps you know the stifling sensa tion that comes when you’re ex pected to n .ke a speech or give a report before the eiub. Think hew the child must feel before his play mates, particularly if he isn’t pre pared or flounders in a sea of er rors. The stunt itself is bad cr ;.h. but the little gripping fears that creep in are terrifying, lion !. disturbing thoughts that haunt and hurt ’way into the night. A few repotjtjc-na ond child begins to expect failure. He feels inadequate to the task, and he sits there atremble waiting for his name to he called.

Heavy jg Urges Students to Uphold Institution’s Traditions A plea that students continue to uphold the traditions of the institution was made by Mrs. Daniel E. Jenkins, widow of the first president of the Municipal University of Omaha, in speaking to the student body this week. Mrs- Jenkins, who lives in Dallas, Texas, with a son, Dr. John L. Jenk ns, is visiting in Omaha while disposing of the late Dr. Jen kins’ library. The books have been presented to the University of Omaha and the Presbyterian Theological Seminary. In addressing the students, Mrs. Jenkins commended them for their splendid educational and social activ ities and also for formulating a set of Indian customs to be adopted. On her visit to the university, Mrs jJenkins confered with Dr. W. E. Sealock, president and learned from him the progress which has been made under municipal control and the ten tative plans for growth and develop ment in the future. Seven Lose Lives in Fire Trap Disaster i Washington, D. C. —CNA—The lives of seven persons, two adults and five children, were snuffed out in a tenement fire here last week. The rigid Jim Crow laws of the nation’s capital, enforced with Southern severity, are direct ly responsible. * The Avhite District of Columbia corner stated that the fire start ed from the heat of an electric iron. The mother of two of the child A’ictims declared that the cause of the fire was an explo sion of the coal stove, the only means of heating the house. The stoA'e had exploded twice before. The fire broke out shortly after midnight Avhen the seven victims, members of three families, were sleeping in tAvo small rooms. There was no access to a fire es cape. The only 'etxit was the central stairAvay, a distance aAvav. The seven Avere burned or suf focated to death.

Due to the extreme poverty and the exhorbitant rentals, it is customary that several Negro families together occupy one apartment. The tenement in nich seven perished is typical ot .his procedure. Tue landlord was thus not required by law to in stall a fire escape for each apart ment. Live in Alley Slums The local Unemployment Coun cil and the Baltimore Afro-Ameri can are inves igating the disaster. Housing conditions of the Ne gro in the capital city are the worst imaginable. Over 10,000 Negroes are segregated in hidden inter alley slums. A1 hough the problem has been repeatedly in vestigated and reforms promised, not a single concrete step to reme dv the condi:ion has been taken hv the federal government. ALTA VESTA A GIRL’S PROBLEMS Bv Videttn Ish (For Th# Literary Service Bureau) From Alta Vesta to Her Father—No. 7 Dearest Daddy: It is funn' that you forgot to an swer my questions in my last letter. Were "ou in a big hurry? Your let ter was short too, Daddy. I wonder why you are forgetting your little girl. I asked you about some little girls who are called bad girls, but they seem nice to me. Aunt Cornelia thinks I ought to play with them but she says jou must decide it. Now, Daddy, don’t forget it this time because I want to know. And I want to do what is right. I like these little girls but you are my guide and your word must decide it. Write a longer letter next time, please With love, Alta Vesta Alta Vesta From Her Father—No. 7 Dear Alta Vesta: I must have been busy sure enough to forget your question. So, you will forgive the failure, this time. I en joy reading your letters because they show how your mind is developing. And I am glad too, that you have such splendid ideas concerning real life problems. Now I must get to your i question before I forget again. I want my little girl to be kind to all others ■ I want her to sym(pathize with those who are less fortunate. But I don’t want her to hurt herself. These little girls may not be bad; then, they may be. You say they go away without the knowledge and the con sent of their parents, and that they “say some bad things;” now, both of these indicate weakness in their char acter and carelessness on the part of their parents. And people are judged by the company they keep. I think you’d better accept your Aunt Cor nelia’s views and not go with these girls, until they give evidence of im provement. Now this is a longer let ter and I am sending lots of love to y«u. Your Father. Harlem Conditions Are Growing Worse New York, N. Y.—CNA—Con ditions facing the Negro in New York are infinitely worse than those which confronted him.. . . fifteen years ago, Frederick Ker nochan, whitie, admitted in de livering the annual report here of the New York Urban League. Ker nochan is the chairman of the executive committee of the League and Chief Justice of Spec ial Sessions Court. Mentioning that overcrowding and the lack of adequate recrea tional and convalescent facilities were responsible for the March 19 outbreak in Harlem, he stated that “The Negro in New York is not any more a law breaker than others.” He immediately followed this statement with a thinly veiled at tack against the white foreign born, section of New York’s popu lation. “He; the Negro is probably much more patriotic than many o£ our foreign groups,” Kerno chan declared. According to the report a great influx of Negroes to New York is expected from the southern states. “KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES” __ A Sad Story _ ___________ - ■ — p————————— _ . _ ■ t" 1 wee \t> fOE-SNlP IT WAS A -LUCKY BREAVC THERE'S A POOR OL Guy MY POOR MAN, \f AH, THIS DEPRESSION, AND >t>0 SAy WITHOUT THE FOR ME WHEW FERDINAND SITTING OVER THERE YOU SEEM TO \ IT'S KILLING ME !

The foreman says that everybody in the shon wants to press now. Mr. Holmes says the machine does everything in a tai’or shop but talk. He claims that he can press twenty suits per hour. He invi.es his many friends and customers to inspect the latest model in pressing machin ery. The Urban League is making an effort to reverse this migratory tide by helping unemployed fa milies in New York to return to farms in the starvation-ridden South, according to recent dis closures before Mayor LaGuar dia’s committee investigating causes of the March 19th Harlem outbreak. Negro Women Demand Names on Jury Lists Birmingham, Ala.,—CNA—The county officials here were very much disturbed last week when a group of Negro women appear ed at the courthouse and demand ed that their names be placed on the jury list. Circuit court clerk Andrews put them off by telling them that no action could be taken on the matter until the Alabama legislat ure takes action. The demand of the women was based on the Supreme Court de cision reversing the Scottsboro death verdicts, forced by the na tion-wide mass protests under the leadership of the International Labor Defense. The court held that the inten tional and systematic exclusion of Negroes from Alabama juries vio lated the cons.itutional rights of the Scottsboro boys and the Ne gro people. Following the decision of the United S.ates Supreme Court, Governor Bibb, Ku Klux Klan chief executive of Alabama, or dered all Alabama courts and jury commissions to “put the names of Negroes in jury boxes in every court of the state.” Governor Graves’ action is re garded as a demogogic move since he and all of the officials of the Alabama courts have known for fifty or more years that Negroes not only have been denied the right to sit on juries, but also have been denied the right to vote. _ WEAK AND SKINNY MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Saved by new Vitamins of Cod Liver Oil in tasteless tablets. •Pounds of firm healthy flesh instead of bare scraggy bones 1 New vigor, vim and energy instead of tired listlessness I Steady, quiet nerves!

Wagenknecht, whi e. The police seized the two lead ers at the May Day Conference j beM here this week. Trumped-up ■ charges of “grand larceny” were lodged against them. Protest dele cations of Negro and white la borers affected the release of ? Dukes and Wagenknecht under bond.
