those citizens, who are interested in
the advancement of the race.
The program of the National Negro

The Ladies of Minneapolis will en
tertain the delegates attending the
Educational Congress. That means
success at the start. The women of
the race in Minneapolis are always
ready to make good, but the men as
a unit are undependable.
A SUGGESTION.
In view of the fact that the National
Negro Educational Congress which
meets in July, will bring among us
another element of representative
Negroes, we hope that some definite
arrangements will be made for their
entertainment. The people of Minne
apolis have profited by a recent ex
perience. The Forum should take
the initiative and request that the
various churches, clubs, and fratern
ities send their delegates to the Con
gress, and also invite them to unite
with the Forum in a Civic Committee
to represent this city. Let us do
things decently and in order. Each
one will be accorded his social stand
ing. Get the best results by unity of
effort —and regardless of the former
status of the Congress, It will be a
success, if you desire to make It.
The Assembly Hall in the Court
House is the proper place to hold our
large civic gatherings. This should
be considered by our entertainment
committees. It has been proposed
that the delegates attending the Con
gress be received at two churches.
This is unfair to the other churches
and will result In Factionlsm —and
confusion. Get the Assembly Hall
and avoid the usual aftermath. The
Negro taxpayers allow you that right,
it is your prlhllege to enjoy It.
