act figure being $956,069. Of this

The Rosenwald Fund is best
known for its extensive program of
, school house building for Negroes,
through which it has co-operated
with 883 counties in 15 Southern
states in the building of a total of
5,357 rural schools for Negroes,
which have become a part of the
regular public school systems of
these communities. This year, the
Fund is turning its attention from
buildings to the educational pro-
grams within the schools, with a
view of trying to find out what is
desirable and possible in a rural
school system for any race. The
Fund has appointed fourteen young
people to spend the year in schools
both white and colored in the south-
em states. A council of educators
and officials is guiding the work.
At the end of one of two years of
careful exploration, the Fund hopes

Stresses New Deal
HOUSTON HOST
TO EDUCATORS
GREENSBORO, N. C.—(ANP)
—"A new deal in education and a
new deal in Government," was the
theme of a lecture given here
Thursday, by Jesse 0. Thomas.
I would like to stress, he said,
"A new deal in education and eco-
nomy" as a slogan for the Negro
Race.
"The Negroes' education was a
failure from the start," he said,
but this new era has given the stu-
dents of today a chance to show
real creative imagination. Anyone
who is thinking today realizea that
we need a new deal in education.
Inataad of teaching the law of di-
raiidshiag return*) we. Ha^at teach
our people how to keep the returns
from diminishing, he aaid. He gave
an example of how the Negroes in
Atlanta spent {8,000,000 yearly
with chain stories without a chance
of being employed. "Just an ex-
ample of our Individual surviving
economic system," he laid. In con-
cluding he said, "Like the Jews,
we must get away from Individual
surviving and take up group survl.
val, and we must depend on the
generation to promote this idea in
a competitive civilization."

IOWA CITY, Iowa.—(ANP)—
Wilfrid Smith, Chicago Tribune
football editor, came here for his
paper Thursday and from Coach
Ossie Solem of the Iowa Univer-
sity football team, learned the true
story of Oze Simmons' failure fol-
lowing his masterful performance
against Northwestern.
To questions asked by Mr. Smith,
Coach Solem had the following an-
swers:
"If Simmons is planning to quit
Iowa, it is a secret to me, the oth-
sure against Northwestern, we were
all satisfied that he had the stuff.
"The boys have not quit on Sim'
mons. The truth is that since the
Northwestern game, Iowa has lost
four of its best blockers, Capt. Rus-
sell Fisher, Dwight Hoover, Her-
man Schneidman, and Bernard
Page.
"Simmons has been injured. (In
answer to why the player hasn't
been in the starting lineup recent-
ly). In the Minnesota game, he re-
ceived a blow over the kidneys and
another in the neck. Before that
he t ok a pounding from Nebras-
ka and Iowa,State. . . He was
er coaches and his teammates. I| i„ the hospital after the Minneso-
know positively that he did not
visit Northwestern last Sunday
morning and inquire about admis-
sion. The team arrived in Chicago
from Bloomington, Ind., Saturday
night and immediately entrained
for Iowa City. He may have sent
word prior to Saturday to North-
western, but I am certain that
Northwestern has no responsibility
In any such communication.
"There is no truth in that re-
port (that Iown players refuse to
block when Simmons carries the
ball) and I can't figure out how
such a libel go started. Before the
season some of the boys wondered
whether Simmons 'could take it-*
There's no use kidding anyone—a
Negro player, even v#'ien his op-
ponents play cleanly, always gets
plenty of bumps and particularly
when he is a star ball carrier. But
when Simmons held up under pres-
ta game. ■'
"I do not believe Simmons has
turned 'yellow' as the saying goes,
for he made the first tackle on the
kickoff against Minnesota, and met
first Beise and later Kostka, Gop-
her fullbacks, in head-on tackles
when they broke through the line.
If Simmona lacked Intestinal for-
titude he would not have met Ko«-
tka when he broke loose.
"Simmons was swamped (in an-
swer to query whether Simmons
has the big head) with back-slap-
pers, autograph seekers, newspa-
per men, and photographs after
Iowa defeated Northwestern, but
he came through with no particu-
lar inflation of the ego. The whole
team had slight opportunity to
practice before the Nebraska game
because of the cheering. And I dob't
believe for a minute that any
football player is jealous
mons' publicity."
