Minority Report NEW YORK. Dec 2 -— General grants by the Federal Government in aid of education would be inade quate to redress the inequalities in (opportunity under which Negroes inow suffer, according to a minor lity report of the President's Na gt;rm;x! Advisory Committee o n ' Education, the minority report be ling signed by John W. Davis | Mordecai W. Johnson, and Robert ' R. Moton. : Copy of the report. which has ‘reached the National Association ‘for the Advancement of Colored People, discloses that a compre hensive system of federal aid, de <igned to bring about better op portunity for Negroes outlined in ‘the minority report. The report. summarized by the N. A. A. C. P. points out that se gregated schonls prevail in 18 states where Negroes are npumer- ous: that in many of these states Negroes are voteless and therefore unable. to safeguard their rschoo' appropriations at the polls; that they are receiving an abnoramlly low proportion of state and federal education support; and that in no one of these states was there in 193¢ a state-supported university for Negroes offering training in medicine, dentistry or law. Only One Tenth of Funds The report further states that schools for Negroes while rferving more than one-fourth of the entire population of 18 states received only one-tenth of t h e public funds. Also. “less than one-half of the 3326482 Negro children of school age were in attendance at school of any kind in 1930; that more than one million of them - approximately one-third of the school population— did rot enrol! during that year; that 752 per cent of those enrolled in the pub lic schools during 1925-26 were in classes below the fifth grade: that in these States the average salarv for the teachers of these Ne oro children was $524 per year. in 'rm(' State falling a5 low as: 3260 ‘and that, while the average annual expenditure per educable child in ,thc United States, as a whole. ex ceeds $80, the average expenditure lm‘-r educable Negro child in these | States is still less than $15.” Negro children are called “the most heavily disadvantaged group of children in the entire field of education under State jurisdiction"” and the Federal Government is held morally bound to aid them. Federal aid should have as its objectives. says the minority re port, to increase the abnormally low per capita expenditure on col ored children and to stimulate the States to overcome the present wide inequalities. Special Federal grants, larger than the general per capita grant, should be made con- ditional on States increasing their own expenditures for colored children. The grants should be made for a limited period and should be subject to revision a: conditions change. They should be administered as recommended by a joint commiftee representing th~ Federal and State government and the Negro citizens. . MME.

The Con tempo itself shortly before his ad vent here had published an article by Hughes headed “Southern Gen tlemen, White Prostitutes, Mill Owners, and Negroes” which cas tigated the South. Policemen were in attendance at the door as he spoke. When he had finished read ing, however, he received an ova tion. The editors of Contempo, young white men, followed their radical attitudes to what in the south might be considered a logical con clusion. They dined Hughes at a public resinurant where the color line was opped. They tock him to a soda fountain where he was served and he appeared at private parties later in the evening an in teresting situation when it is re membered that C. C.

Thornton's appearance here will probably be the only opportunity for lovers of Shakespeare to see the interpretations of these mas terpieces. © The other Shakespeare road shows throughout the coun try have canceled their southern engagements. Comments from the press have been: “Almost three thousand persons greeted Thornton at his initial performance in Hamlet, No stage celebrity in recent generations has given such a consummate perfor mance of a great role”’—Waco News-Tribune.

W MEMPHIS, Tennessee, Dee, 4—— A spirited Community Fund mass meeting was held Monday evening at the Churzh Park auditorium with several represenfative minis ters, business men, and civic and social women workers present. The group was called together to create enthusiasm and 1esults in the final week's drive to raise the $1.500 designated by Community und of ficials as the quaota for colored Memphians. Although tne attend ance at the mass meeting was small it was highly animated by short addresses by the chairman, 1. M. Searcy, Dr. J. E. Walker, Prof J. A Hayes, Rev. C. C. Townsend, and a number of others. Dr. Walker, president of the Uni-! versal Life Insurance Company,‘ made the keynote address. He, stated in part: : “Charity we are going to have! with us always. Those of us who' are in a position should help. 'I'hc' question whether we are going to| get much of the fund should not interfere with our spirit of EIVinE Whatever we get will be tar out ot proportion to the small sum of $1.- 500 that the Negroes of this city! are expected to pay"” ‘ Dr. Walker said that there are! many false impressions regarding the hCarles Wilson: Home. As a member of the board for that m—‘ stitution he stated that he is in a position to know that the Commun ity Fund does niake commendable provision for the care of Negro bovs and girls. Those who do not stay at the hCarles Wilson Home are provided for at the private homes of colored citizens. Mr. M. W, Bonner. treasurer of the Charles Wilson JHome and his wife are taking care of one such orphan m‘ their residence. | ‘Wearem shty short on welfare work, but leng on criticism= Prot Hayes, Manassas High school prin cipal, declared. “We seem to for-| get althogcther the many youngs tors of this cit ywho are in n(‘(‘d‘ of our aid. The little work that has been done by Negro citizens here has rot been followed up, and that is why we are so far behind with this kind of service. Our interest in the care of tubercular boys and gitls was not aroused until a white woman of this city gave bith to the i1dea of making provision for just such unfortunate people.” Prof. Haves pledged one hfindred doliars to the Community Fund. He was chairman of the Colored Di vision last year, and understands the paramount significance of the movement. Rev. Townsend, pastor of Avery Chapel A. M. E. church, suggested that several speakers delegated by the Colored Division go to the va rious churches and explain the pur pose of the drive to the masses of people. The suggestion, however, had to be discarded, because the drive closes tomorrow. The ma jority of the people could not be reached before the following Sun day. The minister pledged twenty five do'lars on behalf of his church. Almonst dumbfounded at the pau city of the Negroes 'quota, Mr. T. J. Beauchamp. Boy Scouts leader, of Memphis, stated that the $1500 could and should be pledged by those present at the meeting. 1 "Before we go and solieit 1h('se§ people. it should be first determin ed if we are really sold on thc‘ idea,” Mr. Beauchamp declared. “A pledge of $55 hy each one here would take care of the quota easi- Iy, Mr. M.
