The argument against tompulsory

The argument against compulsory
attendance on ..ccount Of the negro
has been worn thread-bare. It is
wise or expedient to permit thous4
ands Of white boys and girls to grow
up in ignorance lest in forcing them
in school the aspirations OF the ne
gro child should be awakened?
Shall the white man remain ignor-
ant in order to encourage or to COM
pei the negro to remain ignorant?
Is it better for white and black to
remain ignorant than for both to be-
come intelligent. The only logical
conclusion to such an argument is
that tne ignorant white MN can
compete successfully with the ignoi-
ant negro, but the unframed white
man cannot compete with tle train
ed negro. The negro child needs
no compulsory law to put him in
school. He is already there Wherever
and whenever possible. OF what
value are our school taxes, school
houses and i'm. royed schools to tne
thousands of boys and girls who new
er enter the door ef a school house

One of the developments of the

the BABY Work" 1t has been re-
quested, especially by the General
Federation OF Women's Clubs, watch
has announced its purpose to pro-
motea nation-W wide cam paign of Baby
Work. Here in Louisiana the first
week of March has been set aside for
this campaign.
And at the last meeting of the Wo-
mems Progressive Union of Cov.ng-
ton, held February IA, the initiative
perhaps in st. Tammany parish was
launched along this line.
The purposes Of making known to
parents and communities the facts
about the care of babies would vary

pense and much labor; but the great
necessity of immediate attention to
this great work of love will the SOON

In planning q Baby Week, two
points should be remember ed:
First make it community affair.
Have your church or school or club,
II you have one, take up the matter
in an organized manner.
Second. after the excitement Of the
week, do not let the effect suDside;
keep on working for better babies.
Let our slogan be, Better babies,
better mothers, better countries.
Let our purpose be to lower the
infant mortality. In letter sent

The following are some Of the
things we should do and We ask all

WHAT Is FEsunHM?

In the vernacular Of the anti-suff4
ragist, suffrage and feminisms are
spoken Of as going hand in hand.
Feminism merely means the doc
trine Of equal rights for women. The
word il widely used In this sense
In England In Europe, and is just
beginning to come into, use in Ameri.
CO. As most people In this coun-
try are still unfamiliar with 1t, the
anti-suferakistsi are trying hard to
tack sinister meaning. to it. They
assume that 1t means suffrage plus
free love and other yagaries. Forty
years ago they declared that wo-
mans rights meant free love; bu
they are now finding 1t less easy t.
make people believe this, and SO the,
have poinced upon the new wor.
and are using 1t to throw dust in thu
eyes Of the public.
Clearness Is better than brevity,
when We cannot have both; an.
American suffragists will be W lser to
say equal rights for wamen' than
to shorten It into "feminism." be-
cause the foreign word lends itself
to Misunderstanding. In Germany

Emancipation OF Women calls Its
doctrine masculine" but there is
no more reason why we should 60
