SEGREGATION IN EDUCATt0N
FOSTERS RACE PREJUDICE,
Philadelphia Tribune Sees Danger In
stresslng 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. II 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 be
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 direct blow
at the aspiration for higher education
and more general acceptance by them
In the north of DR.. Booker T. Wash.
ington's idea that Industrial education
is best for at least the next century.
The intelligent people Of color know
that separate schools are breeders Of
race prejudice: that such schools serve
to create spirit of disrespect in the
mind of one class for the other. The
question Is asked and even now awaits
an answer. How may one foster the
spirit Of genuine good will between
classes educated In separate schools?
The division of classes, or races, II you
please, In so called public schools ia not
only unfair to the taxpayer, white and
colored alike because It Is bound In
due season to increase their burdens,
but It also gives an impetus to race
prstrdices.
The intelligent colored citizen travels
and observes that In every city where
the separate school system is 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-
sirous Of adding any feature in the
public school curriculum that tends to-
ward that end.
Whether or not the system begun In
this city in 1881, when the law enforc-
ing the creation of mixed schools was
passed, has been a success or failure
after an experiment of quarter Of q
century seems not to be the question,
but rather It seems to be the thought
Of the school authorities to At the col
ored boy and girl for work, as they
realize how exceedingly difficult it is
for the colored youth after graduation
to obtain, in the open competition of
trade. such occupational relation to So
ciety as will give him chance to earn
a livelihood.
But even after graduation the color
ed youth who has been given the
chance to work alongside of the white
boy at his trade has a better opportu-
nifty to demonstrate his ability and
build up strong line Of friendship
with members Of the dominant race
than he could possibly have in a seq
regated school.

What IL the most important attribute

Good eyesight?-No.
Good feet?-No.
Good hrains?-No.
What then?-Good teeth.
A soldier may have-good feet, good
eyesight and good brains, but, if he has
had teeth. he can't eat If he can't eat
he cant march near enough to the eneray
to see him and use his brains to fight
him.
How does a soldier get good teeth2.-
By having good teeth in childhood.
How do children kesp good teeth?t-
Thru being taught by their mother how
to keep their teeth e'ean. and having
their teeth looked after while they, are
growing. This makes good teeth tox
future soldiers.

Players. Fraternity
 Likely to Smash Nov
 That Peace Has Come

There is a lot of conjecture as to Nhe future of the Players Fraternity, writes R. E. McMillin in the Boston Journal. In war times the organia- 1ion headed by Dave FuIz was a1-
 ways able to absorb a certain portion of the lin1ehght and to find an ex- cuse for it's existence. That it is now in jeopardy is certain. The only way that it can be a, big factor in Baseball is by having the absolute and unquestioning allegiance of it's members, even to the extent of be- ing willing to sacrifice pay and pres tige for the principles for which the Fraternity is supposed to starnd.
 That will never come to pass. There never will be a. time. that F'u1tz or any one else can call the players out on strike or seriously threaten such action. Just so long as the player is willing to paiAver peacefully with the magnate through the medium of his association then there may be chance for the Fraternity to exist as a body, whose best bet will be u meek attitude of suggestion rather than a militant attitude of demand. lTurth- ermore, in the light of past records, it is not altogether certain that the mag mates will care to pay even a casual at teIation to the players body
 There is very little reasson for the existence of the Fraternity in a cer-

Our syrnpathtes are a1-

tain sensel Our sympathies are all ways with the player. personally, but we know that any body that proposes to have any of the attributes of a trades union n-st be based on real wrongs. Trade unionisrn grew out of abuses of labor by com binations of capital It can hardly be said that ball players have such abuses to bind them together into concerted action in any one direction.
 In still another way the Fraternity is bound to be a failure, in that it appears to concern itself absolutely with relations between employe and employer. It has neglected the bi g play that it might have made by seek ing publicity to better the class of baseball from players standpoint to take a militant stand for clear sportsmanship and to endeavor to en- force regulations to this end.
 The founding of an employment bureau as an adjunct of the F1 atern- ity answers certain purpos4 but as it will not obviate the necessity of having scouts to look up the players on the waiting list, the employment bureau will not amount to much. Any big league club has enough appica- tions of it's own on file to start an enn- p1oyme ent agency itself.
