BRUCE REPLIES TO CRITICS
HANDS HIS CoLoRED FELLOW
CITIZENS SOME FIGURES.
Says Negro Peasant Is Wholly I'm
prepared for Complications and
Stress Of City Life.

Discussing the charges made by COL
ored citizens association that he has used
his influence in favor Of the technical
high school over the classical high school
Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant super
intendent of colored schools, said today:
1.-THE negro peasant is wholly unpre-
pared for the complications. the competi-
lions. the moral stress of city life. and
little or no provision is made to train
him in the arts and industries by which
he might sustain himself Memphis. At

and New York. nine cities in which the
negro population varies from : per cent
OF the total in New York to 80 per cent
in Memphis. and from $1,000 in st. Louis
to $1,000 in Washington. contain a total
black population of overN half million
souls. and in not one Of these cities does
there exist trade school for negroes
even remotely comparable to the Baron
de Hirsch School in New York city for
immigrant Jews.
Needs of His Race.
ut is certainly to the interest of these
cities to place within the reach of their
negro population not only the usual ia
cilities of good grammar schools and good
high schools. but also adequate training
directly for economic independence"
In this connection he cites his words in
a recent address. in which he said:
Now. no words of mine are needful to
enforce the proposition that great bodies
of teachers, preachers, physicians. law
yers. engineers and business men Of real
w liberal education and genuinely tech
meal training are at once indispensable
to the progressive wellbeing Of the negro
people in America and vital to the secur-
ity Of American institutions. OF these
professions that of the business man and
that Of the engineer are today not pro-
vided for by any Of the separate schools
for negroes throughout the land. To
