Opportunities for bright young me-
gro boys and girls to rise On their
merits are seriously limited in Chi
cago. The injustice of this situation
Is dwelt upon by Mrs. Louise De-
Koven Bowen. president of the Ju-
venile Protective association. In the
current issue OF the Survey. Her
conclusions are drawn largely from
her own experience and from expe-
riences of investigators Of tho asso-
citation of which she II president. The
coldness OF many employers toward
young negroes helps to explain why
so few of the latter strive for the
education and training which 1T them
for remunerative work. Mrs. Bowen
relates that there are many cases on
the records of her association which
show the tendency OF employers 10
use negroes only for mental positions.
Many educated young negroes fail 10
find employment as photographers,
bookkeepers or clerks. A colored boy
who had been graduated from tech
nical high school was refused work
In the presence OF his classmates by
large concern because negroes ARE
not wanted here" A large CONNER
cial house refused to employ another
colored youth, graduate OF busi-
ness college. under similar conditions.
Much the same state OF things. Mrs.
Bowen says. Is encountered by coli
ored girls. Domestic or personal sery-
Ice. she finds, Is virtually all that is
open to them. whether they have been
educated or not. II young colcred
people become disheartened and dis
couraged under such circumstances, It
Is not surprising. The interests OF
the whole community require that
merit shall have due recognition In
the broad field of employment regard
less of race and color. Injustice COM
monty breeds revolt against existing
conditions and thus are bred delin-
quency and crime.
