The Connectiona!1 Divinity Schuul?rwtr proppse ^should, I. think, . include studies in the eight grade, high school, 'college and the Divinity part mixed through'lt" a)l. It shp.uld ^ .,ljave a faculty composed of the /,. most thoroughly trained, Bible-. ' '* knowing, and Bible-believing men and women that can be found, or made; it should have a daily service of one hour, that conducted by a person selected to the faculty for 'this purpose rorfIy; this- ,manner as a part of everv student should be compelled to attend in order to secure credits. There are so many very splendid young men, who desire to enter, tht? ministry and have had opportunity in grammar seljool-onlx-Tipr to the seventh or eight grade, because of short school terms in. some states, especially in rural _ section, that we should include at least the eight grade in the Con even here in the grades and-hightrr?school the teachers should he _ of the very highest type as t0 taste, fitness, character and intellectual training; together with a firm belief in Christianity ?nd love for the African Methodist Episcopal ??Ghureh, - -There should be absolutely no favoritism .in the selectionof a faculty and of course the faculty of the college Oivinity * School shoull Masters and Doc --I 1 wyio vic^icvo it win cue UU51 SC'ltUUlS nnd at least" two of the faculty ^lumld be scut to Hihlc I.rmdr each year for research study; by and_ for ourselves. ?>o many nuiTjsters^atrTTot know how to conduct the opening and closing services in cuch~ir way as to create and leave and impressive, , spiritual atmosphere around the auditors that, as . stated above, some one should t>e elected to the faculty for no other purpose than - to eonduetr^such a service daily for one hour. And this should not be some broken down failure who happens to be a friend or kin to some grand somebody, nor some "a one who can not be" Used any where else and just stuck in here there-has-been and-is-junt-^_little_ to "make a place" for him. I fear too much of thdt for Qur best good. There should be n0 place merely l i~u:_ . (iiuuiiai liicimsiiip or Kiiisiup; no oplacc for "our section" or "our district," n6 north or south. . Of course if ones friend or relative is the best prepared or ffitted that neither should be a bar to his or her being secured. That is to say that he or she should not be denied just because of being kin to some one . Just highly-trained, sraightforward, socially-minded, Bible belicving. sincere men and women, should l>e considered or tolerated no difference who- is "behind them." This Conncctional Divinity School should have an air that her graduates should go forth with a deep sense and high regard for moral and spiritual standards. I trust I never become narrowminded nor intolorent but my deep conviction is, that our leadership, both lay and ministerial, must have higher morals ideals, at least as regards sex relations. Why is it becoming to be a light matter ?and taken as being alright to in~ t. dulge in sex promiscuity. But what about Motherhood, and Wifehood. and Sisterhood and Woman-' ^ hood of the Race? What has the Divinity School and its-Faculty to do with this? asks o^ne. My an- | ?wer ?a r-.veryr.nmg. 1 ne youth should be taught that must at i least, "Shun the Appearepce of j evil." Some' young men vtere , heard to Say. the other day that the best way to get up ir, to be lax not. let our sentiment for an in-17 dividual run away with our senti- I ment for the whole Church and Race. We "strain at gnats and swallow camels." (Chapter III in ne*t issue) - i - - '%% ? t\ %i,.-? _ tt Comments / Texas Centennial Central Exposition ToShow Progress of Negroes Dallas, Texas. June 29?Texas, In next year's siUto-Wldl" uui'iIuim "nial celebration, will beb the first -state-in- the union to recognize the '^pFopress. achievements and history I of the Negro by according the Mnprn raer> n prnrpinent nart in a world's fair of international proportions. " Commemorating the one-hundreth anniVversary of Texas Independcnce. the Texas Centennial will be a state-wide birthday party, with celebrations at scenes of. historic interest throughout the state and climaxed by the 515,OO0r 000 Texas "Centennial Exposition in Dallas which will open June 6, 1936. mi 1 m me ;exas centennial has requested of the Unttcd States government .the sum of $3,000,000 for Federal participation In tlTtr State Celebration and has specifically requested an allocation of ' *300,ff00 for the construction of a "Negro Building. Botirhouses of Congress have approved the request and it is believed the money - will be forthcoming as soon as the appropriation hill is passed,No great national exposition has ever before given the Negro such a prominent role and it is expected that Negro visitors from all parts of the United States will be attracted to the southwest. The Texas Centennial Central Exposition will of course set aside a special day and date for Negro recognition, Negro Day will probably be set for June 19th, which day, for more than sixty years has been . observed as Texas Emancipation Day. ? The Negro Building < at the tion is planned as a perpetual Negro Memorial on the exposition grounds. The structure will house exhibits of Negrtr'art, dramatics, music and cultural and scientific achoivements. There will be sjacm'rihtin'fr amt lecture halls, and -the leaders of Negro thought and progress from all narts iyf the nation will be invited to ITdllas to deliver addresses, and ' lectures. There will be display of Negro art and there will be recitals to be pnrHcipntnH in by famous Negro -musical ogranizations. Negro colleges and school throughout the country will be asked to participate in the Texas Centennial by sending exhibits. . Murals -will depict the history of the Texas Negro frijui' the days of the-Republic oiinfil tVio T\rncnnt ^oto The request for the Negro Building at Tevas Centennial was made because" Texas <vell realizes the indispertdable part played by the Negro in agricultural and industrial development of the. State. Texas has a population of about a million Negroes, law-abiding, industrious and generally prosperous. The white residents of Texas realize that the broad eotten fields and spreading plantations of the State, which for a hundred years have constituted the basis of Lone Star prospertiy fould not iixist without the aid of the Negro. The Tevfls. Cpntonnial Central Exposition will pay tribute to the ndispensable part played by the Negro in the upbuilding . of the state and the cultural development of the l-ace not only in. Texas but throughout the nation. Summer School Students In Vocal Recital Orangeburg, July 1?A large crowd of State College musid fans assembled in White Hall auditorium?this ?^evening to hear Mrs. Blanche T. Washington, beautiful sopranist, in the first recital of the session. The affair was very succssful. Interpreting the, numbers of famous' composers, among whom were Burleigh and Johnson, Mrs. Washington displayed excellent training in the control of her rich voice. At the conclusion of her final number, "By and By", a spiritual, the audience vociferously expressed its Teluctance to depart until the charming young singer returned with an encore. Mrs. Washington, a native of , Beaufort, is attending summer j school at State College. She was accompanied in the recital by Misg Gladys Thomas who is in charge of the music department here for the summer.
