NEW EDUCATIONAL WORKER
Many years ago the movement was in¬
augurated to curtail the ravage of the dread¬
ed white plague. The success attained is
proven by the reduced death rate, and the
number of existing cases on record. In re¬
cent years more practical organization has
been perfected with scientifically trained
workers. 'These with modern methods are
causing the ailment to be les* feared than
heretofore. The Chatham-Savannah Tubercu
losis Association organized to control this
ravage is making good. It enjoys the full¬
est confidence of the citizens. A few of
them have responded to the calls made in a
liberal manner. No doubt the others will
catch the spirit and do likewise. In a no
better way can those in charge feel that
their efforts are being appreciated, and
more especially the endeavors that are be-
ing made to restore affected ones to nor¬
mal health and prevent the spreading of
the ailment. This association has been very
liberal toward our people without the least
evidence of prejudice. The desire to show
furtherance in this direction is proven by
the recent appointment of Mrs. Susan Pol¬
lard-Waters, as educational worker. Ex¬
cellent judgment was shown in her selection.

and secure control in any manner. This
was amusingly so at the convention of this
county last week, when the one presiding
called in county officers to assist them in
running the meeting after objection was
made to the manner of procedure. At the
meeting of the State Central Committee
the early part of last month attempt was
made by this crowd to gain control, hut
colored men of ability and political knowl¬
edge thwarted them and they fell in line,
but at a meeting of the State Convention
this week they failed to abide the decision
made and like the novice that they are,
wulked out and reported that they held a
separate convention. They are obsessed
with the desire to secure full control of
the party in every county, district and Ihe
state, in doing so (‘they intend ignoring
every colored Republican, especially the
ones who have been carrying on party af-

OF NEGRO BOY DENIED
ADMISSION IN NEIGH¬
BORHOOD SCHOOL
Washington, D. C., (NNPAi
Court action aimed at break¬
ing down the local board of ed
ucation's refusal to admit a
5 year old Negro boy to a white
school near his home failed
last week here when Justice
James W. Morris of District
Court dismissed the suit that
was brought by John P. Davis,
the boy’s father.
Davis had sought to enroll
his son, Michael, in a white
school, six blocks from the Da¬
vis home, on the grounds that
tne nearest colored school was
17 blocks away, creating undue
increase in travel and incon¬
venience. His suit charged
that the board of education’s
refusal constituted discrimina¬
tion against the boy because
of his race, in violation of the
low and the constitution.
The court held that no ques¬
tion of discrimination had
be n n shown, but merely a mat-
ter of inconvenience, in
sing the suit. The board
education is reported to
