Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR Scientist Finds Kin Traits Between Africa, Aframerican HEIjSKDVITS TALK MMHM THROWS 'MT BN CUSTOMS NEW ORLEANS. La. Jan. 6- <ANP) This city may be - one of the great laboratories for the study f the transference of racial char-, ..tcrisacs from one part of the world to another and from one people, to another, according to Dr. , Melville J. Herskovits. who addres- • red the anthropologicial section of the Axiorican Association for the ; A Ivancrment of Science, on a Dahomean custom which appears by literal reference in the Louisi ana Law-the “first friend." Dr Herskovits. who is on the fac ulty of Northwestern university, has spent the past ten years in an intensive study of the transference <f African physical forms, langu traits, religious and cultural customs and social characteristics to America via the Negro. With Mrs. Herskovits ho has just return ed from an eight-month field trip on the West African coast and has lead two expeditions for the study of Negroes in Dutch Guiana. He and his wife are now engaged in collating the volumimons ir Ts they have gathered on their various ex peditions. which crop out in odd nhases of Negro life in America. Dahomey Custom "One of the school principals in Chicago had a difficult time with tho children of Southern Negroes, he remarked by way of illustration, "because these children will never look at the teacher. As a matter of fact, such Negro youngsters arc merely showing the finest of eti quette. fer in Dahomey it is a marl; of respect not to look at another person. Indeed Mrs. Herskovits had quite a time while v.e wcie in Dahomey, training a servant who waited upon us at table and who. when he had served us. immediate ly turned his back and stood thus until we needed him again." The Charleston, incidentally, is derived from an African religious donee in its entirety, according to D Kerskrvits. "The finest Charl eston I ever saw danced was in Ashanti during a religious festival.” he declared “I myself didn't re cognize it as ruch. but when I ■•hawed my students the motion pic tu’’o I had taken of it. they re cogn z^d it at once as the Charles ton.

N. S. publications on a more than one-issuc-a-week basis; Full time employment for 51 well trained young Negro men and women and part time work f and other departments; Pardon us if we sound chesty. But we are oroud of our a chievement and believe the accomolishments of the Southern Newspaper Syndicate are a monument to Negro business and publishing life and a credit to those who have made and read the various S. N. S. papers. Our 1932 achievements? That rests with our readers. If you get behind your newspaper and buy every issue published, Jan. 1,1933, may find the S.N.S. marking an even greater epoch in Negro progress with emplovmcnt for an increased number of our race.
