While we believe more in the prac-
,icaI than ideal, l have chosen in an
humble way to set forth few
tbougbts concerning things of daily
observation which 1 believe not only
conrprns a race, but conditions, if con-
tirued. will sap the moral life of the
nation and eventually bring our Land
If the free and home of the brave TO
utter ruin and desolation.
Why should there be separate
schools of education for the Negro
race and mixed schools for all other
5wpIIers from all natiOnalities of the
gIobe in America? Even though the
same things or branches be taught in
botb schools, yet there is a sentiment
encouraged and fostered that does not
tend to heighten but lessen the re-
spect of the one and the confidence
and loyalty of the other.
Human beings are greater than hu-
man laws, and should be free as TO
social selections.
7 earnestly deprecate a custom or
conditions that prostitute the virtues
og a race and lowers the moral stand
ard of a people. The outcome Of this
I believe will be the Jim Crow car
law in Tennessee, and many aggra-
waited forms of determinations The
North has closed the doors of indus
trial hope to the Negro. Why so?
Simply because he is a Negro. Bitter
hate and disloyalty to man as man lay
at the bottom of all this wrong and in
Justice and cannot end in good for
this nation. The only remedy of hope
against it all is: Better and more
thorough educational training for our
vouth-a well-rounded education, es-
pecially in the mechanical and indus
trial arts.
The head to think, the heart to feel
and the hands to work (which viii
create work and not wait for some
one else to do it) is what is needed.
We should have less to do with poll
ties till We know more of political
science and the principles of good gov
ernment The true import of religion
should be taught as matter OF
science. rather than emotional demon
stratiOn. Then we should organize
unite our forces in a common endeaVor
in every community, for industrial in
terest and the fostering of a Christian
benevOlence, and finally, unity as Q
WhOle-nOt as a class-must be Sc
cured in all things looking to the ad
vancement of principle; and we ven
ture the assurance that a quarter of &
century hence will find the Race Is
sues of America a thing of history
and the Negro race in the happy en-
ioyment of all constitutional privi
leges.
Yours for the Race.
