THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE. - =

! Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part Of
the whole aggravating question. To
IMPROVE the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races. the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be laugh,
how to instruct their children in
those virtues. that have made the
most advanced races what they are
We are prone to think that the
Negro IS by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both: but he
is not enough Of either when It comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because Of his crude
conception Of what the Christian re.
iieion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton Of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is = combination of all She allows
beer drinking. card playing. and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is haneout for sliding elders"
and loafine. hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore tte freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat
chew gum. talk and keep their gang"
gipgling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine Of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters. get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and star
trouble for the deacons These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in Our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble
What we need is a new type Of
women in our homes as mothers.
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing. gum chewing.
heer smelling. mouth running. street
trotting. home neelecting. convention
fever type of women are out of style
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.
