than custodianship. The Indian stock

ORGANIZE COLORED
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
Tulsa, Okla.—(ANP)—Twelve Ne-
gro merchants of Tulsa have organiz-
ed themselves into “The Colored Mer-
chant’s Cooperative Association,” and
are buying staples cooperatively. They
are not yet doing newspaper advertis-
ing but have used handbills featur-
ing each store. The association meets
once a week to discuss business prob-
lems.
Chicago.—(ANP)—When Booker
T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald
first studied the problem of the Ne-
gro's handicap in the South, it seem-
ed to them that his first need was a
place to be taught, and, as a conse-
quence of that, Mr. Rosenwald began
those philanthropies which have
been responsible for the building of
more than 4,000 schools for Negro
pupils in the South, schools which
form the real foundation upon which
the public school system for Negroes
of the future is being built.
But Mr. Rosenwald and the present
sponsors of the enlarged Rosenwald
Fund, of which Edwin R. Embree is
president, have become aware of the
necessity of meeting new factors
which have presented themselves in
the Southern situation and are doing
so. Adequately and properly trained
teachers are felt to be the new need.
Teachers must be trained to take their
places in the school system to give
the Negro boys and girls of the South
the instruction necessary to meet con-
ditions as they find them.
Two recent gifts from the fund
are reported to have been made with
the above function in mind. One is
a gift of $33,000 to the Arkansas
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
and the other $25,000 to the Florida
A. and M. College. These gifts, an
a report from the fund reads, .“are
made toward a campaign for new
buildings and are a part of the fund's
plan of cooperation in building train-
ing facilities for Negro teachers
throughout the South.”

Negro teachers are found is seen in

state there was not a single school
for Negroes above the high school
grade and the so-called Agricultural

indifferently by white and colored
persons. It consisted of merely four
or five buildings on a railroad siding.
I Eventually, J. B. Watson, president
of Leland University in Louisiana,
was called to Pine Bluff. He went
before the state legislature with a
story of the condition of the school
and pleaded for funds with which to
start a building program. He was
ultimately successful in getting the
state assembly to appropriate $300,-
