RACE QUESTION WORRIES
CHICAGO SCHOOL BOARD

That the color line cannot
be ignored in the city schools
was admitted by the school
management committee of
the Chicago board of educa-
ton. and holding the opinion
that some action should be
taken the committee referred
the matter to the superinten
dent of schools. according to
a press report from the "Win
dy City" The question was
raised with regard to the Wen
dell Philips High School
" hich is said to be two-thirds
colored. "A committee from
the Willard school asked
that junior high school be
established to prevent the
children from going to the
Wendell Philips school, al
leging that There are SO
many saloons and pool rooms
around the Philips High
School and such a general i'm
moral condition that it is i'm
possible for us to send our
children there" On being
told that if such conditions
prevailed it was a case to be
reported to the morals bureau
and have things cleaned up,
one member Of the delegation
IS quoted as saying IF that
neighborhood is unsuitable
for the children of the Willard
school it is unsuitable for the
children of any other school.
The real reason is that the
Philips school has a large
number of Negroes. So why
mince matters and refer 10
conditions as immoral when
We mean there are colored
students there?" Then the
first speaker said: There is
no denying the fact that the
Phillips school is two thirds
colored and that white child
rem should not be compelled
TO sit with colored children.

SEGREGATION LAW FOR
CHICAGO.

The Real Estate Board of
Chicago is to have the Negro
population of that city segre-
gated into restricted sections
by legislative action, declares
the Chicago Tribune. At a
recent meeting of the realty
dealers a committee is said to
have been appointed to frame
a bill for the Legislature and
an ordinance for the city
council to this end. Violent
opposition on the part of the
Negroes is expected. The
reason for the movement, it is
stated. is the migratory flood
of Southern Negro laborers
who are pouring into Chicago
at the average rate of 10000
month. Two prominent
realty men are quoted as say
ing that this influx will do
more than $75o.ooo,oood dam
age to Chicago property.
These men claim that this in
flux Of Negro population is
doing greater damage than
the great Chicago fire of 1871.
Using various articles the
Negro real estate dealers are
charged with running" white
residential districts by obtain
ing Ieaseholds on one build
ing in each block and then
renting the property to Ne
gro tenants. The real estate
men claim that this action
causes an immediate depre-
eia.ion in adjoining property
values and and that one by
one the white tenants move
out. The bills which the pres
ent session of the Illinois Leg
islature will be asked to enact
are said to be similar to those
already in force in kentucky,
Missouri and Maryland, where
Negroes are prohibited from
maintaining m residences out
side of prescribed restricted
sections of all cities of the
first class.

They do not demand, argue

They are real artists. No

There are certain qualities of

the Negro can portray better
than any other race. There
is a pathos, a tenderness, an
edge Of sympathy. a beauty of

BREAKING IN THEATRICAL
LIFE.
NEGRO BEGINS NEW ART

Far and away. as we have
said before, the most auspic-
ious stage event in the rise of
sxhe race is the production of
the three race plays by the
colored players at the Garrick
Theatre. New York City. Ira
Aldridge and other dramatists
have triumphed as individuals
thruout Europe and America
as great tragediens, but great
as was their triumphs they in.
terpreted only once again the
life of another race. Bert
Williams and other comedians
have triumphed on the come
dy stage thruout Europe and
America. But never before
have capable colored actors
been enabled to seriously por-
tray to the world the life of
their own race upon the met
ropolitan stage. As great as
is this service to the colored
people and to the world at
large. 50 great is the praise
and credit due Mrs. Emily

did company. white and color

by DR.. Frank Crane in the
New York Globe Of Tuesday.
which in part is as follows:
what is the future tor the
American Negro? Is he al
ways going to be an inferior
racer Is he never going to
emerge from the shadow of
his bondage?
Perhaps the problem is be-
ing solved by'a power not OF
ourselves. BY the deep pur-
pose of nature and her slow
process OF evolution.
The word problem is not
good. There are no social
problems, such as a labor race
or religious problem: such
things are conditions to be
lived thru. instead Of puzzles
to be worked out.
And perhaps the Negro
wants most of all to be let a.
lone. He does not want to be
studied as a case. nor patron
lied. nor helped. All he
wants is square deal. equal
opportunity, and his just de-
serts.
