interest of the Afro-Ameriean Negro in
this vicinity.
To my knowledge local Negroes who
have children, sending them 70 school
are good citizens. and are trying to raise
their children TO become good citizens.
But we can not do so unless we have
the. cooperation and good feeling be-
tween the Negro child and its American
teacher; not to have the Negro child
referred to as a coon" by its American
teacher. such as is praeticed by a Miss
Courtney of the Riley school.
Please assist US in making good citi

equal right in our public schools where
all nations that make American citizens
must go for an education.
