In The Case for the Filipino, Maximo M. Kalaw gives an account of the American occupation of the Archipelago, and in presenting his claims for independence he puts his countrymen in the attitude of an oppressed people.

Dr. C. G. Woodson delivered at the University of Chicago in July a lecture on The varying Attitude of the White Man toward the Negro in the United States.

A HAPPY SUGGESTION

My dear Dr. Woodson: I am in receipt of the current number of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY and am more and more delighted with it.  I think it furnishes the richest source for available information on the Negro that I have yet found.  The leading article in this number is inspiring as well as illuminating and the idea has come to me that it would be an excellent thing to have history reading circles organized in all our schools for the purpose of systematically reading the JOURNAL.  A hundred or more such organizations with the JOURNAL as a text would accomplish two or three very valuable things, viz., promote the circulation of the JOURNAL and disseminate historical knowledge of the race so necessary to give it self-respect and pride.  These historical clubs might meet monthly and include others than teachers.  By all means your work should not lack for funds for keeping it going.  I hope to interest the colored High School Alumni here at its annual meeting next week.  I shall also call the attention of my teachers here to your publication.  It is great.

Very truly yours,

J. W. SCOTT, Principal, Douglass High School, Huntington, W. Va.
