capable of making our own way, Never
theless we should like an equal chance.
l know a colored stone mason who
came to Worcester from the south re-
Gently and was absolutely unable to
find a job anywhere in Worcester
Il do not blame employers for TINS
condition Of things half as mucn as
the trade unions. l think the heaos OF
establishments would gladly hire col
ored help if their other employees
would work with negroes. But DOUBT
if any trade union IN the city Wouiu
admit a colored member
1T is almost impossible for colored
man in Worcester to get a tenement
in a. good quarter of the city. No mat
ter what their reputation or financial
standing. the landlords refuse to rent
rooms or houses TO them. Sometimes
the owners make the rents so eXorol-
tant that colored people cannot aHord
to take the tenement Many times
have noticed that where fiat will rent
to a. white man for $40 a month, the
colored man is asked S10. But more
usually he is refused outright.
about the only locality where col
ored men can live in Worcester IS
among the Swedes on Laurel hill. They
treat us better than other classes OF
foreigners"
Rev R. J. Taylor Of the Bethel A.
NJ. E. Church said he was too recent
an arrival in Worcester TO be able TO
give a good opinion on the subject of
the race question in this city, put
thought conditions were the same here
as in other cities.
Major Taylor Worcester's great col
ored cyclist, has given his views on
the treatment accorded to colored
sportsmen more than once. When he
first began racing he was forced to un-
dergo many insults on account of his
color. The popularity he has since
gained has been won little by little
from the public.
Il think | have in a large measure
outlived any enmity which may have
existed toward me on account of my
color. My chief trouble is now with
my racing rivals, who dislike to see a,
coIored man win from them. l have
sometimes thought that they worked
combinations to beat me. With regard
to the people of Worcester, l have no
complaint to offer over the way | am
treated by the people of my own
town"

Wilson, the librarian at Clark Univer-
sity, who has been interested in the
subject for some time has written tc
the principals Of many of the high
schools of this and other New England
states.
From this circular letter sent out, he
has received about twenty replies, and
from them he has constructed a very
instructive table which shows the num-
Der of male high school graduates who
entered college last year the average
age of the graduates the length of
time in the high school course, whether
four or five years, and whether any
Latin or algebra had been studied be-
fore entering the high school. The ta-
BILE is comparative of nineteen Massa-
chusetts cities.
Corresponding figures for the Wor-
cester classical high school have not
been made out, but Mr.. Wilson has
heen able from data obtained, to form
an estimate of the number and age of
those taking the five years course.
Eighteen boys have been sent to Har-
ward College within the past four
years. and their ages average Is years
aud months. Of the class to gradu-
ate from the school in June, 1899, num-
bering III Pupils, eleven are taking the
five year course. The average age of
those who are taking this course is 10
years and Z months

NEGRO IN NORTH
Receives Scant Justice at
Hands Of Whites.

Are the colored citizens of Worcester
receiving the rights to which they are
entitled under the constitution? Do
they receive the same treatment as
their fellow citizens of other national
ity and color? Can they freely COM
pete with their white brothers in the
various trades and calhngs, and what
prospect have they for advancement in
any of the higher walks of life?
These and other questions bearing on
the race problem as it exists in the
north were put yesterday by a Spy re-
preventative to several Of the leading
colored citizens of Worcester, including
she pastors of the three principal col
ored churches. If the answers given
10 the Spy's questionings may be taken
as correct, 1T appears that the negro is
the equal Of the white man in theory
only. So far as the right of suffrage is
concerned, his vote counts as much as
any mans. He receives all the benefits
Of free education; the pickininny sits on
the same bench in school with the white
child, but when his training is at an
end and it becomes time to begin the
serious part of life's work. the black
man finds in most cases that his color
IS ndnOlCdp must ullICulL 10 over
come.
All things considered, the negroes of
Worcester do not think their condition
so much superior to that of their rela-
tives in the south as is generally sup
posed. OF course they can go to the
polls and deposit their ballots with the
certainty that they win not be driven
back by a band Of roWdies armed with
revolvers and clubs. Their children can
go to school. They can ride in the
same railway coaches with whites and
are free TO go to the theatres or almost
any other public place without molesta-
ton.
But on the other hand they are I'M
able to find occupation at a trade in
the north as they can south Of the
Mason and Dixon line. They apply in
vain to the large mill owners for work
and must earn their bread by acting as
drudges in mental callings. In many
cases. they cannot even rent a tenement
in Worcester at the same rate that a
white man does and in certain swell
districts it is doubtful if an ebony
hued tenant would be tolerated at any
price.
In the south it is different. Negroes
predominant. The white child is nursed
by a colored nanny" AS he grows
older the pickininies are his play
mates Throughout his whole life the
southerner is constantly associated
with negroes. Consequently he always
thinks kindly Of them, although he
does not profess to consider them his
equals In the north he processes TO
consider them his equals but in reality
looks down upon them.
