THE NEGROES PETITION.

The petition of the Mothers Club of
the Douglass School, Columbia's ne
gro school, that the city aid them in
building a playground on the school
yards is worthy of careful attention.
1t shows that Columbia has a pro-
gressive negro population. A small
playground and park with flowers, a
few lights and a drinking fountain
such as they want means much more
than elaborate grounds thrust upon
them for their good" could ever mean.
The desire for improvement is there,
and if the city aids in fulfilling that
desire it will be much easier to bring
about other developments in that sec
tion of Columbia.
The Mothers Club of the Douglass
School asks very little of the city, a
few lights and a fountain. The other
features of the grounds would be kept
up by the negroes. And if you have
any doubts as to their ability to do
so you should take a walk through
their secticn of town some day and
see the flower gardens which some of
them keep, gardens that will put to
shame many one in other parts of
the city.

The Open Column
Others,

Editor The Missourian:-You are
not the only one, dear friend, that has
endured a crucible. If you would
search a face or two, you would find
that some one who walks very near
you, every day, has suffered more than
You have for the attainment of right
ends. 1t is written, you know, that
We must give up the greatest joy in
our lives, if necessary, in order that
greater good might prevail So, per-
haps what was to you a struggle of
but few days or weeks is one of
months, or even years to your COM
rade. All hearts do not vibrate the
same under the touch of loss, and life
problems are not always solved in
your given time.
Review the past, and learn if you
can how your comrade Jared through
it all, how he came out, and then
compare results. Ten to one he has
sacrificed more, perhaps for your sake
too, than you have, and made a great
deal less noise about it. You have
had your hours of pleasure, but how
has it gone with him? The greatest
suffering under an act of real hero
ism is betrayed often, by only the un-
guarded look, sign, word or tear, and
the Indifferent attitude may be the
protecting cloak of the greatest pos
sible human sacrifice in the life of the
wearer. Have you never spared the
time for such a thought? Granted
that such a condition is true in the
radius of your observation and ex-
perience, what is your duty, dear
friends? A Student.
