Some Things State College
For Negroes is Teaching
BROTHERHOOD...LOVE
(By JOHN G. GEORGE)
: ; <
•‘What can we do to promote jus-
tice, amity and understanding among
Jews, Catholics and Protestants in
Tyler, Texas?” I believe in God. I
love men..I believe in the Fatherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of man.
I .believe in the universality of the
Golden Rule. I believe in the First
and Great Commandment—that I
must love God. I believe in the Sec-
ond Commandment—.that I must love
my neighbor.
I believe that all men are more or
less alike and that most any man is
an average man; that he is blessed
with a mind to think, a heart to love,
a hand to do. I believe that most men
set up a philosophy of life for them-
selves; that they, in their own way,
set up in their minds the rules by
which they want to live. I believe
that in most every instance a man
sets up for himself what he believes
to .be the rule of right living, right
thinking, right action towards his fel-
low-man. and that he can only be
swerved from his own rules by the
dominating influence of others.
I believe that a common fellowship
has always existed among men of
every class and creed. It is because
We have allowed ourselves to build
up in American civilization class and
caste that this fellowship has been
alienated more or less by this mvthi-
oal thing we call class distinction.
I believe that every man, who lives
undeh ouj flag, craves the fellowship,
the respect, the love, the understand-
ing, of every other man.
midst, I have not been privileged to
meet and know a ’large number of
people; however, during the eight
monthsof my residence in Tyler, I
havf come to know some very splen-
did men and women. There are many
people in this audience who, like my-
self, are practically unknown in your
The only! state-supported institution
of higher lea’Aihg for Negroes in
Texas, is, as we have pointed
o-uty before, Prairie View State
Normal and Industrial College. It
was established, we believe, in 1876,
under the Morril land-grant bill by
which A. & M. Colleges in. all the
states were established with Federal
aid,.that measure (whether we have
it named correctly or not) originating
during* the Civil War, when Abraham
Lincoln was President. It did not be-
come operative in Texas until 1S76
when the worst of the “Reconstruc-
tion Period” arising from the War
Between the States had passed. We
print the following news item from
this Negro School for information of
our white readers—and for both in-
formation and encouragement for our
colored readers:

Starrville, March 6. —■ At Friday’s
meeting of the local W.H.D. club the
outstanding topic was “The Meaning
of the A.A.A.” Mrs. Carl Dale read
a specially prepared paper on the
thente^ indicating exhaustive study
and research, and provoking among
the members much interesting dig")
cussion of features of the AAA pro-
gram in relation to their heed by and
their effect upon agricuture and ru-
ral life. Mrs. Dale asserted that the
AAA is but an act of simpled justice
to the farmer. She reviewed those
problems of agriculture thqt in their
nature and consequences made the
Act necessary as an emergency mea-
sure. She anticipates that the pro-
gram will be necessarily of long dura-
tion before the causes .which made it
necessary will have been wholly re-
moved from America's farm 1 life.
There were eighteen members and
five visitors present and. the meeting,
