Houston Hammers Bailey on Lynching New Cork, Aug. 30—Inquiring “whether there are any circumstanc es whatsoever under wThich North Carolina will take action against a lyncher” Charles H. Houston, Special Counsel of the N. A. A. C. P. today forwarded to Senator Josiah W. Bail ey, one of the leaders in the filibust er against the Costigan-Wagner bill, a report from North Carolina of the refusal of officials to ask for the return of a lyncher who, troubled by his conscience, offered to return to stand trial. The report, which is confirmed in a news item in the High Point (NC) Enterprise of August 19th, tells of the receipt by Carteret county offic ers of a letter from A. F. Taylor, now of Cortez, Florida, in which Tay lor stated that he had participated in a lynching at Beaufort (N. C,) thir ty-five years ago.

Adams (For the Literary. Service Bureau) Fret not at failure to receive The praise of men, and do not grieve, If you are trampled and oppressed.

Peck, Cooperative Bank Commissioner, observed that not all farm coop eratives live to a ripe and sucees ful old age. Some of them suffer from “premature birth”—caused by over-confidence, inadequate capi tal. failure- to fill a real need of producers, poor market connec tions, lack of understanding of successful business methods, and a weakness for making great promises that cannot be fulfilled. These cooperatives die young This simply emphasizes a fact tha'; should be more widely known—that cooperative market ing isn't a form of magic. You can organize a so-called co-op, but unless it rests on a sound basis, you can't make it work to advantage. The cooperatives which have really done things for farmers have all been organized on sound, realistic business principles. They have had competent executives to run their affairs. They have had sufficient financing. And they have come into being be cause of a definite need for their services . Good cooperatives mean event ual prosperity for the farmer— stable and permanent prosperity. Poor cooperatives work against the very ends they espouse. __ ALTA VESTA A GIRL’S PROBLEMS By Videtta Ish (For the Literary Service Bureau) Alta Vesta to Her Father—No. 17 Dear Father: I enjoyed your nice letter. I don’t know what I’d do without your let ters. I get so lonesome for you and your letters make me feel better. I am glad to hear what you say about the little girl and that you are not displeased because I was kind to her on her birthday.

Of course, Father, I am too young to understand just what you mean about other people and helping them. But I am certain what you say is right and always I’ll try to do what you like for me to 'do. Remember, I’m still waiting to know about the Easter spirit. Much love from us both. Your daughter. Notice, Subscribers: If you don’t get your paper by Saturday, 2 p. m., call Webster 1750.

Seven pictures have been tentatively selected for use in motion picture apperciation courses and study guides will be provided to supple ment a study of the selected photoplays. This report was tnade today by Dr. Wililam Lewin, Chairman of the Motion Picture Committee of the National Education’s Depart ment of Secondary Education, to Dr. Ernest D. Lewis, president. Dr. Lewin recently returned from a two weeks stay in Holly wood. He is one of the first edu cators to visit the motion picture studios on an official mission. Dr. Lewin reported that he found producers, writers and directors interested in the Motion Picture Appreciation Study and that he received the fullest cooperation from all officials while in the film center. The success of the National Education Association’s program last year has increased interest on the part of the Motion Picture Producers “The producers rec ognize fully the value of the Mo tion Picture Appreciation Study and the relation of this movement to the future of the screen,” Dr. Lewin said. Among the new pictures of in terest to educators, Dr. Lewin listed Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet’ and “A Midsumer Night’s Dream,” Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” and “Oliver Twist,” “Little Lord Fauntle roy, ” Tolstoy’s “Anna Karen ina,” Pearl Buck’s “The Good Earth,” Scott’s “Ivanhoe” and Kipling’s “Kim.’ Other notable productions from an educational standpoint he said, will be Mutiny on the Bounty,” “Knights of the Round Table,” “Marie Antoinette,” “Forty * Days of Musa Dagh,” “Three Musketeers”, “Quality Street”, “Last Days of Pompii”, “Faust” “Carmen”, “Crusades”, “Crime and Punishemnt”, “Dodsworth”, “Little America”, “Life of Pas teur”, and “Twenty Leagues Un der The Sea.” Every studio is contributing its share of pictures taken from high literary sources. “The steadily rising levels of motion picture quality accompan ied by a rising standard of photo play appreciation are forces that have helped to inaugurate pro duction programs that will in clude grand opera, light opera, and photoplays based on the works pf Shakespeare, Dickens, Barrie, Kiplini and Toystoy”, Dr. Lewin declared. -Ur. bewm also visited teachers colleges and universities and found intense interest manifested in the photoplay appreciation movement . The University of Southern California, Columbia University Teachers College, New York University and Colorado State Teachers College are among the score of universities that have1 already successfully instituted these courses. In view of the up ward trend in the number and quality of photoplays of interest to teachers aaid indents, it is Dr. Lewin’s opinion that the pic ture appreciation movement will be rapidly adopted in schools throughout the nation. Dr. bewin said that special in terest among educators centered around the announcement that educators from leading universi ties have been engaged by Irving! Thalberg, M-G-M official, to participate in transposing Shake speare’s works to the screen. “A steady procession of photo plays of value and interest in di rect relation to the arts and soeial sciences now seems assured,” re ported Dr. Lewin. “What re mains is to give this fine upward trend adequate support in schools and colleges Our committee in the National Education Associa tion is sponsoring the selection of better pictures for study. Educa tional pre%’iewing committees are ooking forward to a year that will be notable from the stand point of the classroom.” Editorial Of The Week (From the New York POST, August 17, 1S35) ONE LYNCHING EVERY SIX DAYS What has happened to the Costi gan-Wagner anti-lynching bill? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in appealing to President Roosevelt for action on the bill in Congress, points out that there was one lynching for i every six days between June 22 and August 4, this year. The Administration can bring the bill up for a vote at this session, or sidetrack it—and sidetrack the hope of some real action on lynching. Which will it do?
