VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 20 . COLORED STUDENT IS SPELLER OF DETROIT ^ HACK STl IVKNTS TAKK IIICII ItAXK IN K('H|001/S OF CITY AMTH KQl'Ali OFl'OKTl MTY. ( Hy Francis 11. Warren.) o Are Southern methods of repression creeping into the North to prevent Negroes in competition with white peop'-e from securing even handed justice? This question is thrust to the front by the experiences of George Nurse, admitted champion speller of the sixth grade iji the Detroit Public Schools. The Detroit News recently staged a series of spelling bees in the Detroit Public Schools, of which there are one hundred and fifty-eight., and gave copies of Webster's new dictionary to each champion of their respective schools. Then these school champions f competed to see who were the best grade spellers in the city from the fifth grade to the high schools of the city leaving four grade champions from grades five to eight and one high school champion. George Nurse the sixth grade cham i pioti of which grade lie is a member in the llarstow School, with four other grade and high school champions were left to contest for the honor of being ' champion of lite City of Detroit. GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN CONTEST The Majestic Theatre one of Detroit's I largest pluyltousos was the scene of the final struggle between these five students to win tltc highest prize in the great contest, and one by one the five grade ohnmnimiw <1 rAn..n.i ..... e? w , ? v.1.1 wn/|<|nu Villi l U1 III II* 1 spelling until there were left on tho stngo little George Nurse, Negro oham pion of the sixth grade, aged nine, and Justine Poarsall. a bright ehlltl of Caucasian race of the eighth grade, aged twelve. Word after word was giv on to these two children and each spell ed them correctly until the word "poaeo" the opposite of war was given to Justine which is a single syllable word. But Justine spelled the word wrong twice and was given a third opportune ty to spell It correctly, and while she was given words from the grade speller. George was given high sehool words with several syllables yet he eon tinned to spell them correctly and the excitement became most intense as it was feared that a Negro hoy of nine years would out spell all of the other students in the city schools of our great city. n IS CI tl M T N A T10 NT A PI' A11K N T Finally George was civen the w??r 1 j "Hawaii".

NEGRO STUDENTS STAND HIGH t It is for (be above reason that we denominate Geor.no Nurse champion spoiler do facto of the City of Detroit while Miss Justine IVarsall is champion spoiler de jure, having been granted Mm first prize as champion speller of the city for the reasons above stated. There is one thing. however, that stands out prominently in this spelling contest and that is that Negro students take tlio'r place along with stu dents of all other races and attain ihrhighest character of mental development where educated along with other students in Die same schools, for in Do Itroit nil children in a Riven district attond the same schools. There are no such things* as wh'to schools or colored schools in this city. TIence (lie children of the race secure the same benefits from the curriculum and the teach ing staff as the children of all other races. There are as previously staled, one hundred and fifty-eight champion spellers of their respective schools. Out of these champions one hundred and for ty contestants for the grade champion ships. Eight Negro students won the school championship prize, the names of six of which are as follows: (Oonttnued on Fourth Page) !>A\Vll.l,F.

Neither candidate during the campaign issued any statement as to his position on the soldiers bonus hill or the four Rower Treaty. Nelson's majority is the biggest oil taincd by a Republican in many years except in tho landslide of 1020. 1 dicing the primary campaign the Christ inn Civic League indorsed Mr. Nelson as against Mr. Vilos but was neutral as regards the election.
