SEGREGATION IN EDUCATION
FOSTERS RACE PREJUDICE,
Philadelphia Tribune Sees Danger In
Stressing 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.
1t has been definitely settled that the
Introduction Of vocational training for
at least 400 of the 1900 pupils that
attend that school will begin next Jan
uary. If the experiment succeeds a
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 a
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, If you
please, In so called public schools is 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 IN impetus to race
prejudices.
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 success or failure
after an experiment of a quarter of n
century seems not to be the question.
but rather It seems to be the thought
Of the scbnGl authorities to fit the col
ored H%. % q girl for work, as they
realizes. Wv exceedingly difficult 1t 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 a chance to earn
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 better oppOrtu-
hity to demonstrate his ability and
build up strong line Of friendship
with members Of the dominant race
than he could possibly have In seq
regated school.

Promoters Of Proposed Summer Resort
In Michigan Should Be Broadminded.
The movement recently started by q
group Of prominent cOlored men to
clear up the ground and erect suitable
buildings for summer resort on the
shores Of Crooked lake. near White
Cloud. Mich. to be ready for the sea-
son Of 1916. has many good features.
But II the promoters should decide
finally to confine the benefits to be de-
rived from the resort to our race only.
without regard to the business enter
prises usually carried on at such re-
sorts, 1t may hinder rather than help
the project.
The sentiment Of the race generally,
says N. B. Dodson. is against drawing
the color line. The race is fully capa-
BILE Of maintaining ownership Of its
business enterprises. educational and
religious institutions without drawing
the line. If white people desire to pa.
tronize our institutions Of whatever
kind under our management they
should be permitted to do so. Coop
GRAFTON is the watchword Of the times.
The proposed summer resort should be
