sidered as yard firemen and paid the
same; extra firemen when used as

may be considered in connection
with efficiency.

a peculiar opportunity of determin-
ing the value to NegrOe OF mixed
and separate schools. Here, as else
where, the careful investigator will
not be too hasty In reaching sweep
ing generalization. I find that the
sentiment of the people is divided on
this policy, the general drift of judg-
ment being TO the effect that mixed
schools in communities where senti-
ment is such as to give the Negro the
full advantage and inspiration which
the school should afford, are desir-
able But, wherever the Negro con-
stitutes a considerable fraction Of
the whole community, public senti-
ment, unfortunately, is such that the
cdlored child misses the requisite In.
spiration and incentive II is a
notable fact that wherever separate
high schools exist, although the
standards of admission are uniform
and invariable. there are three or
four times ss many Negro boys and

CohabitatIOn with Negro Women.

The indictment of Sheriff Green

lawful cohabitation with a Negro wo-
man is an advance step taken by the
best white people in Mississippi.
There are no respectable. intelligent.

and yet this sort OF thing Is being
done nearly everywhere. The Negro

but he Is powerless TO prevent Il.
When white men will descend so low
as 10 support Negro prostitutes. and
bring on social equality between the
races. IL is time for the righteous
indignation OF the best white people
to be aroused. and the seIf-respect-

cesspool OF corruption. 80,
There Is not community In the
south where the masses of white peo
pie approve Of such a degraded life
Ihey realize that the Negro feels
that his race is humiIiated and de-
graded where such immortality and
FORCED social equality exist. In some
places where Negro ministers have
protested against such cohabitation
they have been brutally treated and
forced 70 leave the countro.
This, however, is not the SEN

This was the chief point decided
last night by the arbitrators in the
well-known Georgia strike case,
Chancellor David c. Barrow, of the
University of Georgia. and Hilary a.
Herbert. appointee of the Georgia
road, concurring, and T. w. Hard
wick. appointee Of the firemen, en-
tering a dissenting opinion.
The encouragement of the result
OF the conference came late at night.
after the arbitrators had thrashed
out the evidence and the argument
in the case for hours.
.a.l POINTS FfREMEN WIZ. se-
On a number OF other points the
Georgia fremen win. The fremen
had contended for the same wages
to be paid the negro fremen and the
white fremen. This was granted by
the arbitrators.
The firemen had urged this scale
of wages because they were of the
opinion that If the road had TO pay
the same wage, IT would prefer to
hire white men, who are admittedly
more intelligent. and who alone can
become engineers, the negroes being
barred. At the present time the ne
sroes are employed as firemen be-
cause they work for less money, so
the Georgia employees say.
IL was agreed by the arbitrators
that hremen in line of promotion 70
the position of engineer. shall have
three years experience before being
promoted TO that position and shall
be promoted in the order of their
seniority, provided they are able 70
pass all reasonable requirements and
examinations. If they fail to pass
their examinations or refuse to pass
IT. they will be reduced to freight
service without losing their seniority.
Failing in their second examination
they will be reduced 20 the bottom
OF the extra list.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

In the third place, my object was
to make general observation upon
racial conditions as is my universal
custom.
The educator is apt to look first
into educational conditions and. In
this regard, the zone, under study
furnishes most interesting situa-
ton. In the southern tier OF states
including Maryland, West Virginia,
Kentucky, and Missouri. there are
separate schools for the two races. In
other portions OF the upper tier of
states. the schools are partially mix
ed and partially separate and still n
other portions they are wholly mix
ed. BY observing the operation Of
this three-foid arrangement, one has
