Good Words for the CRISIS
"Even though I have heretofore written no complimentary letters, you may believe that my appreciation is sincere.
"My children and I take great pleasure in adorning our school room with CRISIS pictures. I find it an excellent means of teaching them to appreciate the ideals of their own race. 
"I would advise all colored teachers to use this method for instilling in their pupils a love for their own people, who are, after all, so very beautiful.
"EMILY C. BARNEY (teacher),
"New Orleans, La." 

"It is with great pleasure that I renew my subscription to your valuable magazine. I read it carefully each month, and find it very instructive and inspiring. It inspires me to see what progress your race is making with the odds overwhelmingly against them.
"Having been born and reared in the South and having lived for twenty-four years in the North I have been able to ge the views of both sections on the Negro problem.
"My heart goes out to your people in their brave struggle, and I feel that I want to do whatever I can to encourage them. 
"SAMUEL GUY SNOWDEN (minister), 
"Trenton, New Jersey."

HAZEL
The Story of a Little Colored Girl 
By MARY WHITE OVINGTON

PRESS COMMENTS
From "The Brooklyn Eagle", Brooklyn, N.Y.
Miss Ovington here reveals a gift by no means common - the gift of writing in a style that will appeal to the child mind, a style that is clear, direct and picturesque. Any child, regardless of race or color, would be interested in the little book, and many a grown-up would find the hour spent in its perusal one of entertainment and refreshment. 

From "The Four Seas", Boston, Mass. 
A good child's story is the hardest to write, because most authors of juvenile books think that being silly is the correct method of writing a child's story. "HAZEL" is a book which every sane-minded person of larger growth will read with pleasure and because its heroine arouses a feeling of sympathy, every reader will be better disposed towards the colored people. This book ought to endure as long as "Alice in Wonderland," for it is the best child's story written since Selma Lagerhof's "Adventures of Nils."

From "The Amsterdam News," New York City.
"HAZEL" is a story of juveniles for juveniles that is certainly good enough for the grown-up, who, in the rush of growing up, has not lost all memories of that delightful period... The story is full of pathos and tenderness and is informing to boot, and is good reading for both races.

From "The Springfield Republican", Springfield, Mass.
The genius and sympathy of women has had much, thus far, to do with the lightening of the black man's burden, - beginning with Harriet Martineau and Mrs. Stowe, and much remains for them to do. Mrs. Howe had her share in the "Battle Hymn" and many women since have lent a hand or lifted a voice. Mary White Ovington who writes this volume... has a closer and clearer view of the character of colored citizens and their children, North and South, than Mrs. Stowe had of the slaves whose chains she had helped to break, and she writes with less energy, but she produces the result aimed at, in the mind of the comparative few who will read her book. If it could be read and appreciated by Speaker Clarke and the women of the South their views on "segregation" would be modified.

From "The Living Church", New York. 
The novelty of a story in regard to colored children and intended for colored children is at hand in "HAZEL" by Mary White Ovington, author of Half a Man. It is no "story with a purpose" nor does it purport to raise, much less to solve, a problem; yet if any one can read it and not have the awful pathos of the life of our colored people bear down upon him anew as a terrible burden which we Americans must bear, he must be less than human. If we only understood!
