.ReIIc of FeudaIism."
The suffrage association termed the
rule a relic of feudalism, not in line
with present day progressiveness,
slander upon marriage and tending to
prevent marriage, tendency contrary
to public policy and public morals and
not in keeping with laws Of the Dis
trict outlined in the married woman's
act
Race segregation was interjeCted when
Frederic j. Has kins. the writer. eX-
planned the project of a local newspaper
to give a free moving picture show at
the Columbia Theater to public school
children. DR.. c. w. Child, a colored
member Of the board. offered strenuous
objections on. the ground that the col
ored children probably would be given
seats up in the peanut gallery" while
white children would sit on the first
floor.
Haskins explained that he and the
newspaper had not thought of segre-
cation. but Child was so vehement that
the board finally referred the matter
to Supt. Thurston. who must thrash it
out to the satisfaction OF all concern
ed" Haskins wanted the board to au-
thorize school teachers to sign clippings
cut from his newspaper certifying that
children applying for admission to the
moving picture show are pupils in pub
lie schools.
DIR. Edgar d. Thompson. Rev. c. W.
whitmore and Mrs. c. H. Frye asked
the board to request Congress to pur-
chase additional ground at lexington
School to enlarge the Fairgrounds. The
board decided the request could not be
made until property owners agreed to
close an alley between lexington School
and the ground desired purchased.
