SEGREGATION IN EDUCATION
FOSTERS RACE PREJUDICE,
Philadelphia Tribune Sees Danger In
Stressins Vocational Training.

The Philadelphia Tribune sees danger
in the putting of too much stress on
vocational training for colored youth
rs against the opportunities offered for
academic or higher education. The
Tribune says:
At the Thomas Durham public school.
Sixteenth and Lombard streets, the
largest segregated school In this city.
It has been definitely settled that the
Introduction Of vocational training for
at least 400 OF the 1000 pupils that
attend that school will begin next Jan
uary. If the experiment succeeds
similar course will in all probability
follow in each of the fourteen separate
schools throughout the city.
While the gradual return of the dis
tinctive segregated schools In this city
seems Inevitable, there seems to he q
growing sentiment, nevertheless, on
the part Of large majority OF colored
citizens In opposition to the continual
growth. They view 1t with alarm, and
many regard the proposed innovation
OF vocational training as a direct blow
at the aspiration for higher education
and a more general acceptance by them

The intelligent people Of color know
that separate schools are breeders OF
race prejudice: that such schools serve

an answer, How may one foster the
spirit Of genuine good will between
classes educated In separate schools2
The division of classes, or races, II you
please, In SO called public schools is not
only unfair to the taxpayer, white and
colored alike, because 1t Is bound In

but It also gives IN impetus to race
prejudices.
The intelligent colored citizen travels
and observes that In every city where
! the separate school system Ia In vogue
race hatred has grown apace. Doubt
:, less intelligent white citizens know this
to be true and are anxious to do every
thing In their power to encourage the
growth of race hatred, hence are de

A BUSES cling to crisis as bar

While millions do their duty with quiet
heroism, there is always minority that
takes advantage, that corrupts others-or
itself Some believe that fraud and fool
ishness stay at home, that they cannot
approach the field of arms, but this is far
. from being the case.
My thoughts turn back to the South
African war, when certain scandals were
supposed to have reached their zenith; I
look around me to-day listen to the we'll
authenticated stories brought to me by
relatives and friends, and know that South
Africa did not 1.-THE the possibilities Of

a minority for those who are doing what

The position comes little strangely to
me when look at it in this light, but the
highly-trained, conscientious, painstaking
hospital nurse whose patient heroism pro-
claims her a true followed of Florence
Nightingale is being exposed to scandalous
annoyance for no good purpose and to no
useful end, and I feel that I must plead
her cause, since she is in the last degree
unlikely to plead 1t for herself.
Society women of a certain class made
themselves so notorious in the military
hospitals and elsewhere during the South
African war that at least one General
threatened TO send them home and another
refused to allow any more to come out. AS
soonFas the greatest struggle OF our his

OF means and position proceeded as silent

under the circumstances to equip hospitals
and to set about their selfappointed work.
They labored conscientiously and sought
no more publicity than was, necessary to
enable them to collect money from philan-

some were already qualified by previous
experience, others acquired their knowl-
edge under the most trying conditions
