COLORED RACES PROGRESS HALED Advance Has Been Phenom- enal, Secretary Wilbur Says in Radio Address. Describing the advance of the Negro race in America as “phenomenal,” Sw- retary Wilbur of the Interior Depart- ment told a radio audience last night that edlmnuon will permit members of the race “not only to obtain a secure economic position, but to do their full share as American citizens.” The cabinet member pointed out that the office of education of the Interior Department was striving to improve the condition of the race, adding that “there is no more amazing picture in the his- tory of the American citizen than that of the Negro race.” Two other speakers on a program of the National Broadcasting chain em- sized the need of more adequate ing. The program was devoted to the subject of education of the Negro as part of American Education week. Vocational Training Urged. Ambrose Caliver, specialist in Negro education for the office of education, urged vocational training and asserted that the Negro “must hasten his pace, snd that with a double-quick tempo, if he is to go over the top with the rest of America’s soldiers of progress.” The degree of education which the Negro possesses was sald by John W. Davis, president of West Virginia State College, to have “enabled him to become dissatisfied with his present educational status.” He added that the high-school enrollment among Negroes in the South- ern States is less than 10 per 1,000, while in the United States the number ©f high school students per 1,000 is 39. “His desire is to participate in an unlimited and unrestrained way in all affairs of the community, State and Nation,” Davis said. “He would serve America nobly in creative thought and action.” Secretary Wilbur said it is natural that the Negro should reflect the social eonditions of his environment and that “these are shifting for him every day.” Shift to Cities Noted. “While in 1860,” he continued, “most were living in a civilization which was primarily agricultural, and for the most part upon land owned by.others, we now have tens of thou- sands of homes and farms owned by Negroes, and about one-third of them are living in our cities instead of in the rural districts. “The Negro is now making good in all walks of life, some have attained distinction in law, medicine, dentistry and education. Others have shown gmd capacity in administration. These aders in these fields have not only great opportunities, but great respon- sibilities, for it is important that oth- ers should follow them.” While there has been a general rise #n the conditions of the masses of the Tace, Secretary _continued, “a vement will depend upon increase of educational opportunity and an increase in the share that the Negro will have in the economic life of our country.” ‘When the plains of India were the home of the gigantic elephants and tadons lhlt country was still in- ited by the gigantic tortoise, with - T;f.m\lm length of shell from 6 to : - Tragedy Is Mixed With Comedy; Cries For Help Ignored Electrician Burned Badly as Actor Echoes His Distress Calls.

Mr. Vardl, who directed the produc- tion of {Dybbuk” for the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York in its success- ful production there a few years ago, displayed a talent for comedy that seemed to agree especiall well with his audience. Mme. Yoalit confined herself to poetic and dramatic selections, each of which seemed better than its prede- cessor. An enthusiastic audience greeted the actors at the outset and became more exuberant as the evening went on. G R 0O §S N E R'S FRIDAY ONLY Another Friday — another typical Grosner Special.
