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 1000 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 a direct blow
at the aspiration for higher education
and a more general acceptance by them

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.

this city In 1881. when the law enforc-
ing the creation Of mixed schools was
