. HOI.SEY THANKS EDITOR8 '
. i FOR COOPERATION
^ New York, Dec. 31?On the eve of
j .Christmas 'holidays and the close of
f ! has conducted a vigorous' campaign \~
? to firmly established the C: M. A.
. program on a sound basis in 1931t
j Isaid at his office, 146 W. ,41st Street,
j >he wished to tender his sincere thanks
? to the editors of all the colored newse
I papeis lor their splendid spirit of
. jcooperation in giving: publicity to the
_ iC. M. A. idea, and giving editorial
e encouragement and helpful suggesg-l-tions-during
the year. Mr. Mokey
e!was visibly moved when he reflected
f lon~the numerous articles the press
I { had carried ?Vcc of ooot dutiny tup" I
v year, which undoubtedly contributed
_jmuch to causing the C. M. A. program
p+te-take firm root in the minds-ef^the-;
? | Negro public.
,1 In a satement of thanks to the edis
j tors Mr. Holsey said: "I* feel deeply
r j grateful to- the colored editors for
_ [the in valuable support they given the
. C. M." A. movement, and I want to
I I publicly express this appreciation.
3 | Without the aid-ol the Negro press !
, jwe would have been far less success-j
| ful thaiji we are today. While the ,
. C. M. A. movement is still in its in-1
fancy, I feel with the good will of
^;the Negro press, it cannot do other
^ [than succeed.
J "As an-mstanee of just how fciffhly
I we value th?j comments and news
I articles in the Negro press, I have
" only to mention that in our prespecttis
Of the Cr"Mr A; program;, entitled .'C.
M. A. Points the ' Way', we refpro),
duced*infacsi mile several clippings,
both editorial and news, which has '
been widely distributed, and which I '
think gave splindid advertising tjT"4
j these papers in big business channels J
because this prospectus has been cir- 1
culated among the leading white busi- '
> ness men of the nation. <
? | "We have recently inaugurated a i
s regular C. M. A.' service in connec- 1
v "tion with the National Negro Busi- '
s ness League, and I note a large num- 1
ber of the papers are .earring this i
IT service. I will promise the editors
e that this service will at all times con- 1
tain genuine news value, and not be 1
^ merely publicity, as there are numerous
developments of real news signi^
ficance in our work each week.
"In our plans for development is

-" Dialects
The feeling: and thought are as important
in speaking: dialects a~ the
pronouncition of the vowell ai>d consonant
sounds. The form amounts to
but litilt. if the spirit is lacking.
One should know something of the
native language of the person he is
trying to imitate, tftlrat language ~ ~

laboriously worked out the forms.
Onc must also consider .national
characteristics. Some- people are stolid
and self contained, making few
bodily movements while speaking.
Others are, vivacious, emotional' htk1_ _____
temperamental and express thcmStFl
ves with many gestures and marked
rapidity of speech. ,
The forceful character of the Scot,
bred for centuries to cope with the +
hard physical conditions of his country,
probably has a great deal to do
willi the mannoi' of speech; while the
poetic, romantic nature of the Irish
helped to bring into their speech the . y
.pretty rhythmic li|t which ._makes_
thtir dialect so musicaX
The native Celtic language spoken '
by the Scott, has many gutturals caus- ,
ing a general backward position of
the?tongue.?"R"ia rollp?;l vigorous
ly, but the vibration is at the back
md sides of the tongue instead of
it the tip as in the English "R" of
)ur own day. Thepe js much energy
n all sounds, which distinguishedes.
;he Scottish dialect from all others. ,
Hie close set jaw helps to determine
ihe pronunciation of the Vowels. All
Scottish A's are back sounds.
The real English dialect varies with ^
iHe" locality. The Cockhey is "the-rrrost ? ?
familiar. It ranges from the speech
of 'Tommy Atkins" in Kipling's poems
to ,one almost intelligible to
Americans. The odd sounds noticeable
in the cultured English speech
are exaggerated to a very great degree,
bqsides many other. marked
changes. It is used or omitted in
a way exactly opposite to tht. manner
we are accustomed to using it. Thereis
a general crudeness in th?--Use of Jthc
lips and jaw tnai prevent clean cut
ai ticultion.^
As to Negro" dialect, the home is ft
in Africa. There is a love for music
rhythm, and a very religious attitude,
sometimes to the point of superstition.
' Before the -Civil?War?is?the i_
picturesque period of this dialect.
'A" is always flat. We must re t
member that out of the spech of .
commoit people arises a classical
speech. "R" is omitted and the soft
Italian "A" Is always substituted. .
Many final consanants are omitted. Jj
The qulity of the voice is soft, swevt
and musical. .
