A Shocking Appeal v
The Interdenominational Union.. "
of Charleston and vicinity was taken
on surprise at 'one of its regular
meeting's when a one Mr. !
Nfurph-fwhite) appeared before it, '
--J --i 1 '
una asKcu inu tuupcittviou ui v??v ^
colored ministers of Charleston to
assist him in an'effort to get alh
of "the non-going Cjhureh Negroes =.
7- to be contacted, and brought un- j
der religious influences, so as to .
become identified?with Seme de- i(
nomination. He said it was alarm.<
ing to know the mulWtnte of Negroes
in thvs city who have no con
cern for God nor regard for the
? church cur the Lord's, day. The gentleman
making the request was a u,
layman who tvqs in charge of the d;
Bible Class of the First; Baptist tl
Church of the city. He did not a
simply make an appeal but secur- j<ed
a place from the city authori- vi
_ _ ties whore the work is to carried. I>
on without a penny's expense ~orT "ft
the part of the colored people. We'd
must admit that every thing ' he -B
said about the Negroes here i s H
true in all other cities. And \vhen R
Christian workers from white congregations
take the initiative in r-'i
Negroes' salvation 'it shows that _w
Negro ministers and- church- cornmunicants
are* asleep on their jobs P
This is am awful indictment. De- hi
plorable as it is, I am inclined to S
think it's true. Many church peo- B
pie among Negroes?man&e&t no r<
interest whatever in those who are d
unconcerned. They don't encourage H
their own families to come t o[b
Christi to say nothing about those, si
of their neighbors,. That accounts E
- very largely for the distressing
conditions among Negroes. White ti
peopie"" outmfmber Nefgroes by faf Tf
in attending church, the result is i*
they are receiving more blessings it
from God. The people who do more '
for God will gut more from TJod
whether they bo black or white. To _
be continued.

Avoid Embarrassments
a
In states where segregation "Vx-^d*
ist oar people should endeavor to tl
comply with the regulations gov- h
erning those states. On trains f<
there are either separate cars or n
, special sections for Negroes and f<
they should occupy them. On buss- w
cb in cities and htgtrways the Taw^
iu f Vi o f Ka eoftfAj T
the rear end of the bus to t h o (?
front, and white people from the w
front to rear. And when they tf
meet then they must stand up. y
The white people nor the author- p
jtiei dare not order the Negroes rr

MAYBE SO AN
(By W. H. S
RRAZEN
The finest thing in the world is
i record of stainless character, a
i?cord on no page of which may
>e found a blot of crime. The per
fon "who has such a record should
ank first.
Next to the clean-recond people
ihould be placed that person who
laving blurred hrs record, repents
md-spends-the balance of his days
reepinpr attt^yrother-pageB clean;
31ean-record people FIRST; pentent
people SECOND.
But what, you ask, has that to
lo with your subject?brazen audicity?
Well,-I'll tell you. If you
vill look about you?look in your
:hurch and in your community,
/ou will see some people whose
ecords you lOTaw have boen pret*
;y dirty and black. You will find
something else perhaps; these
same people are busy all the time
ceeping themselves in the limei-ght.
Some of them are occupyng
places which othCTS deserve;
lome of them have the brazen aU(dicity
to try to lead their supeiors.
You will see the sinner

o jgiVe up iheir seats. Now as
ong as this law has been in exigence
it seems that every Ncfero
n the world ought know it und
ibptilif know where to sit when
hey get on busses. So often they
jet on busses in cities and sit
niddle way, leaving two and threw
eats behind them. At certain inersections
of streets crowds of
chite people aboard tho bus and
till fliey stay there until ordered
>ack by the bus operator. I t
corns like common sense should
uggest to th?m to move back
vhen white people get on, and esjecially
when they are too far up
o begin. Why allow themselves
o be humiliated when they could
ivoid it. Many times I have been

Professional degrees by Ncfrthn
Coleges were omitted from the_J

during the last past few
ecadcs; ?Medical Sehools have-j^h^l^"fr'nm
^pvpia^To How- T

rrviving Medical Schools, and
toward the only surviving Law
chool. There are still a number

jem to pine for lack of degree
e^king candidates for the mindly
r
Howard Unviversity awarded
wenty-twor degrees in Medicine,
fteen in Dentistry, three in Phar
lacy, fifteen in Law and six in
heology. Meharry conferred thrr
^-five degrees in Medicine, five in
entistry, four in Dental; Hygiene
nd fourteen in Nursing. This list
-as re-enforced by few if any for
torthern Colleges. The output is
iarkedTy TessThah it"was thirtyW
arty years ago. This decline can
ot be attributed" to the rise in
tandards. For the rate/ has a
much higher' academic average
ow than ther.-This decline must
e ascribed mainly to the increase
n cost. . Our only ^two Medical
chools, Howard and Meharry,
Lirned out only fifty-seven doclacists,
a number woefully inadears,
eighteen D?r.tjsts, throe .Phar
uate to safeguard the health
eeds^f tho rac?. In the Minisry
ami Law, the outlook is still
tore lamentable. Howard Uniersity
is the only Negro InstiJtion
which carries a full comlement
of courses including Medinc.
Law. Theology, "Engineering
.rt, Music, Business and Archi?cture.
We must look largely to
lis premier University to supply
le professional needs of the race
nd yet it wrll surprise even the
ell informed to know that Howrd
university turned out fewer,
oetors, Pharmacists, Dentists, j
.awyers and Ministers, in 1938
lan it uid in r.'ua. Thirty years
go there were sevdnty-two gradates
from professional departlents
as compared with fifty-nine
1 the same departments last June
[oward is obviously lapsing in its
hi of- function?to?supply?recruits
ir the professional needs of the
ice. Indeed the number of pro;ssional
graduates is not suffic-!
nt to replace the death rate. The;
cruits are less than the casuales.

)urs
f '
collegiate education in recent
years. Until quite recently the
colleges supported by religious da
thropy, monopolized the degree
roiifamna nrivilftgQ,, ?Rut - iu - I
?? - |
cent yifcrs the State colleges have
assumed this prerogative tQ a sur.
prising degree. The Tennessee State
College of Nashville, Tenn.,
contains more than twice as many
e^lleKe^-HUHlaftta ami i?aaf?
more than three times as many
Bachelor Degrees than Fisk unP"
versity in the same crty. Virginia
State, has a larger enrollment and
a larger college student body and*
conferred a larger nunA^r of degrees
than Virginia Union. The
College for Negrobs of North Carolina,
had more students and college
graduates than Johnson C.
Smith.
In We?st Virginia, Kentucky,
and .Missouri State Colleges are
the only degree conferring institutions
in these several states.!
\yhen we throw into the scale |
Howard a super state college, and
the Miner Teachers College, it will
appear that the college contingent
of publicrschouls as 'well as-'
the number of degrees conferred,
compares not unfavorably with i
institutions supported by private i
philanthropy. The rivalry between |
private ana stau' supported institutions
will soori thrust itself se-|
riously upon public attention. How
far will private philanthropy feel
obligated to bear the burden of the j
higher education for Negroes when
theJ several states are able and
willing to assume the local burden?
VII. Occupation of College
Graduates:
It will bo very interesting if the
next educational number of the
Crisis would undertake to find out
the occupation of Negro Graduates,
collegiate and professional,
during the college generations cov
ering the past four years. Common
observation convinces us that
a large proportion of t,hem had
been seeking in vain employmcthf
comportable with their educational
attainments. Our schools are
turning out these giaduates at
-the?rate?of 3,000?a?year.?la?afe?w_years
if the present state of
things continues we shall have our
country overrun with college grad
uates with nothing to do. This
is the most serious question which
-of?our educationalist and social

had not come to the rescue
by .way of public relief the
showing would be still more lamentable.
