and aspirations, which ’ do not have to

That is probably why H. G, Wells’ red-
bound prophecies seem absurdly matter-
of-fact, and why A President Is Born,
this biography of a- future President,
with its hints of television, traffic in the
clouds, and ovibos-cultivation (whatever
that is). does not stir us to that patriot-
ism and faith which it is os in-
tended to arouse.

Great pains have been taken to make
the book seem real and convincing. It
purports. to be an account of the early
years of, David Schuyler, who, it seems,
will spend three terms in the White
-House some time in the. 1940’s and 50’s.
‘The numerous footnotes are .declared to
be “excerpts from the private diaries of
the late Rebekka Schuyler Renchler,
quoted with the permission of her grand-
daughter, United States Senator Sterl-
ing.” The volume is’ even dedicated to
a Schuyler. . These elaborate precautions
are somehow nanipering to the imagina-
tion,

and believes in. She. characterizes it
with some power and plenty of flavor,
in a style at its. best made expressive by
warm. feeling, at its worst horribly sug-
gestive of advertisements for Fleisch-
mann’s yeast. It would all be interesting
if we-did not constantly resent having to
accept it as an ideal. Its:ear is to the
ground, its finger onthe pulse of a good
deal in American life today. It strikes
just that note of matter-of-fact idealism
which seems to be characteristic of’ us,
combining a rather doubting reverence
for the intellect with a more convinced
belief in mechanical progress and the in-
nate virtue of the pedple.: * _

Take Your Girlie to the Movies -

ress® s even the cloister and the

obliges us to invent new traditions and
perform others out of season to satisfy
its craving for the picturesque. Life
imitates art, they say: and so we are

provingly to his wife- on the “peculiarity

The young maidens of Moscow, ac-
cording to the Sunday Rotogravure sec-
tion, train elaborately for the movies as
a part of their school curriculum. Soon
we too will have installed a department

lainy with just a touch of remorse).

So easy 'tis to lie in bed

To read innumerable books

And slowly be demoralized
By contact with a pillow.

To point to roots as an excuse

For inactivity? .

And labor and grow thin,

Hampton Quartet

CONTINUED FROM PAGE i

pare with the tremendous “aniount
which is being produced tdday, the
earlier ones are far superior in quality,
Mr. Alonzo Morone, a student in the
industrial school at Hampton, gave a
most interesting account._.of how-—he
happened to come to Hampton. and
what the s@héol “Has done. for him.
There are nine hundred students at
Hampton, he told‘us. These come
from the Virgin Islands, Jamaica,
Porto Rico, and Africa, as well as from
the United States. The Virgin Islands,
Mr. Morone’s home, were bought by
the. United States in 1917 from Den-
mark, In, 1922 the unemployment .on
the Islands, combined with the very
meagre facilities for education, made
the’ more: intelligent inhabitants feel a
need for contact with the outside
world. In-1923, therefore, Mr. Morone
came to this coyntry inorder that he
might acquire enough practical knowl-
edge to take back to his own people.
He began in the upholstery department
of the trade school at Hampton and,
despite the trouble he had at first in
making himself understood, gradually
worked his way through the course.
This fall he will begin an academic
course which is necessary for. all grad-
uates. “Mr. Morone feels that Hamp-
ton has fitted him for his purpose bef-
ter than could any other institution.
Between the last.. two. groups. of
songs by the quartet, Mr. Gray spoke
of the interest that Bgyn Mawr has
always shown in the progress of
Hampton, and. told something of the
negro’s introduction into the United
States. Prince Henry, of Portugal, he
said, may be indirectly regarded as the
agency by which the negro came into
this country. ‘
From. Portugal the slave labor
spread to the West Indies and from
there to the United §tates in 1619.-
Now we have eleven million negroes in
the country, two million in the North
and nine million in the South. What
are we going to do? It-is not enough
to talk about a race problem;- both
the North and South ought to think of

.|these millions of negroesas a respon-
sibility to be dealt with on the most’

honorable terms., It is our duty to see
that these men and women of the col-
ored face are not denied the privileges
today which our ancestors; during the
slavery period, denied their. grand-
What Hampton is attempting
to do is to train the negro for com-
munity needs, in order that he may go
out and raise the moral and economic
standards of his. people. During the
last twenty years, twelve thousand
students have been sent out ~from
Hampton so trained.
