d. julius Williams writes in the Biz
mingham (Ala.) Age-Herald as FOL
lows: &C.,.
I'm the message sent out by the
governor Of our great state, he said,
let us save the white boy and girl
BY stamping out ignorance Did he
mean that we infer that he meant. to
not overlook the fact that their saliva
ton depended largely upon the extent
Of consideration given 100000 Ne
groes OF school age In this slater
Two races cannot live In the same
state, under the same law, enjoying
the same pursuits of happiness and
life, II one races interests are ad'
vanced at the sacrifice OF the other.
Our state superintendent of educa-
ton has not as yet found time to say
much In behalf Of the Negro children.
"Ouf county superintendent have
not spoken out In loud tones; maybe
after while they will be heard from.
when we think Of 1t. we are not
pleasantly reminded; the education OF
my people started at the head but not
at the foot, because 1t Is at the bot
tom Of life's ladder one must begin
LIES journey. We we're first taught
to make q living. when our first les
son should have been to make iife."
Here is the remarkably practical
and workable suggestion Of this man
who 30 feelingly writes Of his race.
This matter should come to the at
tention Of every man, woman and child
In the state:
II In every home where my people
Are employed as servants they are CIV
en- one-half hour-even a quarter OF
an hour--each day by the third or
fourth grade child in that home teach.
ing these servants to spell, read and
write their own names, what great
school we would have through this
medium for the Negro. and how much
1t would mean to your children. Many
of the cooks live In the yard and not
. few have children. In spite of all you
do, your children will learn from them
by association.
What is true Of your cook and chill
dren is true OF your washerwoman and
children, nurse and children. your
driver and children, and even the men,
women and children Of my race that
pass your home. Your children going
on the street to and fro from school
in this way form habits through obser.
walton.
will It pay? Will it be worth while
striking out ignorance among the AGO.
900 In our state?
I'VE need more laws of human kind.
ness and less laws Of civil punish
ment."
We cannot but realize the justice Of
this mans plea; we know when the
Negro woman has been properly edu-
Gated, as is being done In compare
lively small way by the institutions OF
learning for the Negro in this state;
the tired mother may not be subject
ed to the diet of underdone or over
done food, the child will not so often
be the victim of disease and careless
nursing, through the companionship
Of an ignorant nurse maid.
Because the South still considers the
Negro In the light of domestic ne.
cessity. the occupation Of house serv.
ant becomes their vocation. II we
desire efficiency In our Negro help we
must at least grant them education
along the lines of work they have been
placed In.

| The fact brought out by DR.. William
C. Woodward, health officer OF Wash
ington, D. c., before q Negro health
conference in New Orleans. that the
high death rate among Negroes Ia not
wholly due to hygienic conditions, but
to racial ones as well, serves only TO
increase the concern with which the
entire subject is being viewed. The
Negroes, according to this authority
are. for physical and racial reasons,
not so well prepared as the whites
for the conditions Of climate and mode
of life In this country. To add the
handicap of the rarially unfit to the al
ready heavy burden shouldered by the
Negro is to increase the load of re-
sponsibility for the waite man.
When Houston, AtiA.,ta. New Or
leans and other large southern cities
began to investigate the sanitary and
living conditions in their Negro quar-
tiers recently the communities were
shocked at the revelation. In q state
of segregation the thing would have
been bad enough. But col0red nurses,
cooks and servants of the white peo
pie lived amid these conditions anu
came daily from them to wash. dress
and nurse the children Of white peo-
pie, serve their meals and clean their
houses. This fact, needless to say"
struck residents Of those cities with
considerable force.
Protests had been made to The CEN
sus bureau for not separating the
whites and blacks in the mortality
figures for southern cities. the con.
tention being that the high rate was
unfair to charge against the white
people. But after the first flush OF In
dignation wore away and people gave
the subject sober second thought It
was realized that perhaps the white
people were III part responsible for the
high death rate among Negroes. in
asmuch as they had done little or moth
Ing to decrease the figure.
The determined effort on the part OF
the white man to know in broader
terms the life of the southern Negro
has been remarked by DR.. w. D.
Weatherford of the international COM
mittee OF the Y. NJ. c. A. This Is
no morbid curiosity he said at Mem
phis last spring, nor Is 1t passing
fad. There are fewer magazine ar
ticles, perhaps, and less agitation. but
a book written by southern woman
passed the 10000 mark within eight
cen months after it's publication,
which Is a marvellous sale for any
book dealing with a social problem.
l make bold to say that there have
been more volumes on the Negro read
by southern whites in the last five
years than were read in all the SO
years preceding"
This same authority cited also the
determination by the best element In
the South to share in the religious
and social improvement Of the Negro
race. Farm demonstration agents
are helping from one to dozen Ne
groes to become better farmers. Coun'
ty superintendents throughout the
South are holding institutes for col
ored people with much thoroughness
and enthusiasm and visiting Negro
schools as never before.

ARE YOU DlSFIGURED
BY SKIN ERUPTION?

Pimples, rashcs, ringworm, prickly-
heat and worst Of all, that red itch
ing, scaly torment, eczema, vanish
when you use resinol ointment and
resinol soap. There is no doubt about
1t. Even though your skin is so
unsightly with eruption that you shun
your friends and your friends shun
you, resinol usually makes it clear
and healthy, quickly, easily and at
trilling cost. When you arc sick of
wasting time and money on tedious,
expensive treatments, get resinol ont-
ment and resinol soap from the near
est druggist and you will quickly see
why physicians have prescribed them
for twenty years for just such troubles
as yours! Great for sunburn-Adv.
