Although the South, because of

any other state. There 8.4 percent

Ohio, with 2.9 percent, and Wash

has only 1.5 percent on relief and
Tennessee is the lowest in Dixie

Expert Tells How
Books Aid War Vets
Ala., April 30 (ANP)—The marked
success being achieved by Mrs.I
Sadie Peterson-Delany. Head Libr
arian at the Veterans Administra
tion Facility here in applying the
principles of bibliotherapy to the
disabled veterans is attracting the
attention of library authorities thr
oughout America and broadening
the field of this branch of library
science.
Concerning the technique and
methods used in her effective sy
stem. Mrs. Delany, who has specia
lized in this work 14 years, had
this to say in a current issue of
Opportunity, Magazine: “BtiblLo
therapy means the treatment of a
patient through selective reading.
A. brief record of the patient’s
diagnosis- treament and prognosis
is furnished the librarian who se
lects books which will not only give
him knowledge and entertainment
but an interest in subjects which
will relieve his mind from his ma
lady and worries.
"1 he library thus becomes a
laboratory and a work shop. Here, j
minds long imprisoned in lethargy
are awakened. The attractive room I
its green walls hung with maps,
paintings and pictures of Negro
leaders, famous authors and others
who have attained prominence
through books—creates an atmos
phere conductive to reading. There
are 6,000 volumes in the general (
collection and a separate group of '
books by and about Negroes. These
are read avidly.
“We have a library press club, a
philatelic (stamp) club, a depart
ment. for the blind, where patients
are taught the Bhaille system read
ing. a debate club and a general
library service where all types of [
desirable hooks abound. Well chosen
looks ameliorate disturbing thou
ghts, tend to soothe and build up
hope and patients profit by this
valuable therapy. Few people re
alize the haunting tradegy of scores
of men , once young, ambitious and
mentally and phisically f t, who
came back from the World War
pitiable shadows of their former
selves. Veterans Hospitals are play
ing a tremendous part in rehabili
tating these men and in that pro
cess the Bibliotherapy unit has
been found to be invaluable.”

Editorial of the Week
(From tile Washingt n P | April
13, 1933)
A Right Not To He Floated
The United States Supreme
Couit has set aside (he convict on'
of a Negro ft und guilty of mur-1
tier in Kentucky because the “ays
tema.tic and arbitrary exclusion” |
of Negroes from the jury lists in j
that State constitu es a denial ot
constitutional light-. Under those j
circumstances the court concluded j
that the defendant had not keen
given a fair trial.
This decision is on all fours
with the one handed down by the
court some years ago in the case
of one of the Seottsboro defend
ants. The response in that case, so
far as the Alabama authorities
were concerned, was immediate
and praiseworthy. Gov. Graves
declared that in Alabama the de
cision would be accepted “in letter
and in spirit.” It has been. Some
other States which had practiced
exclusion of Negroes from juries
also took the cue.
Apparently Kentucky was remiss
in its duty in this particular. That
State continued indefensible racial
discriminations. But the intent of
the Supreme Court to crack down
on such practices which do vio
lence to democratic principles and
constitutional rights is now un
mistakable. Once again the highest
tribunal of American liberties.
If States still excluding Negroes
from jury service expect to have
their law enforcement efforts up
held in the Federal courts, they
had better get into step with this
liberal interpretation.
