OUR HATS OFF TO MOBILE

Occasionally one finds a Southern

respective of the race to which they
belong. Happily for Nashville, il is
that kind of city. You can follow
any profession you are big enough

prise TO find Negroes doing all kinds
of sCrviccablc work. But we must
take our hats oil TO Mobile for getting
IN the line with Atlanta and several
other Southern cities for EMPLOYING
Negro boys TO deliver kilograms.
We have always regarded Nashville
very liberal, but we have not as vet
accomplished that fetc. The Mobile
Weekly Press comments editorially
on the Negro boys being employed
by the Postal and Western Union.
In their last weeks issue, they said:
"The Western Union Telegraph
Company has followed i'm the foot

pany and are now employing Color.
ed boys TO deliver messages. II Isle
ported That a few white boys were
still at work but quit Immediately
and refused to work with The Color

should refuse 10 work with the Col

aside the petty prejudice, and are
working and fighting together to
make the world better TO live in.

EDUCATING BLACK SOLDIERS

due of the educational opportunities
now to be furnished to the soldiers

are deeply and cternally grateful 10

fairness and generosity with which
they are seeking TO promote race ed
ucalion in the South. The South

viding education for Colored youths
Board is helping to fill in the breach.
In doing SO il is helping moi only the
race, but the racial and industrial
conditions of all the people of The
South for all times TO come. We
urge these and all other agencies in
teresiedd in the Colored race to COM
plete their program by seeing TO ii
that the black heroes over there get
their share of the education now be-
ing provided.
