37— What Negro regiments were con-
spicuous during the Spanish-American
war?
Negro soldiers took a more conpsicu-
ous part in the Spanish-American war
than in any previous war waged by
the United States. At the first battle
in Cuba, Las Ouasimas, the 10th cav-
alry distinguished itself by coming to
the support of Colonel ^Theodore Roose-
velt and the Rough Riders. The 25th
infantry took a prominent part in the
battle of El Caney. The 9th and 10th
cavalry and the 24th infantry render-
ed heroic service in the famous battle
of San Juan Hill.
38— What is the Jeannes Fund?
The Jeannes Foundation, or the Ne-
gro Rural School Fund, amounting to
$1,000,000, was established in 1907 by
Miss Anna T. Jeannes, a resident of
Philadelphia. The income of the fund
is used in assisting the community and
small rural public schools for Negroes
in the Southern states by supplying
county superintendents with the salary
of a supervising industrial teacher,
who introduces simple forms.
39— What Negro soloist sang, by
royal command, before the king of
England in 1921?
On the afternoon of April 23, 1921,
Roland Hayes, the greatest tenor of
the race, was summoned, by royal com-
mand, to sing before His Majesty
George V. King of Great Britain, and
the royal family in Buckingham Palace.
Mr. Hayes was supposed to sing for
one-half hour, but at the expiration of
that time the king stepped up to the
piano and requested another half hour
of song, after which his majesty pre-
sented Mr. Hayes with a diamond
scarf-pin. The entire royal family
showed particular interest in Negro
spirituals. Roland Hayes, through his
songs, had carried his race into the
hearts of the rulers of the world’s
greatest empire.
