SCHOOL WORK
HELPED BY LAWS PASSED

House bill and Senate bill 95, both
for the promotion of vocational edu-
cation, are now laws or will be when
the 80 days statutory period after the
adjournment of the legislature has ex-
pired
House bill 81 makes it possible for
any school district to organize courses
in agriculture, home economics, and
trade and industrial subjects. These
courses may be given in day classes,
part-time classes, and evening classes.
House bill 81 also provides reim-
bursement to school districts of 75
per cent of expenditures for salaries
of teachers of vocational subjects,
provided the requirements of the
Smith-Hughes act are observed.
Senate bill 95 provides compulsory
part-time classes. Instruction in these
classes is intended for pupils IA to IS
years of age who are regularly en-
ployed Instruction must be given be-
tween the hours of a. m. and p. m.
and for not less than five hours a
week or $50 hours a year. Any sub
ject that is designed to increase civic
intelligence or trade efficiency may be
taught in part-time classes.
These bills are of the greatest i'm
portance to every school district in
the state, and it is desirable that the
school authorities shall acquaint
themselves with these laws and as
certain what they must do to receive
state aid
House bill 81 makes it a duty of
the state board for the control of voca-
tional education to submit an item
lied budget to the state board of
equalization on or before July I of
each year. 1t is, therefore, desirable
that school districts make their ap-
plications for state aid for the years
1920 Immediately.

thousands to Chicago and other cities.
Now that these people are among us,
we must work together to help them
and all others"

JAPANESE PROFOUND
PERTINENT QUESTIONS
(By Negro Press Association


WASHINGTON, D. C.-"Who does
this world belong to?" is the question
the Japanese nation desires to have
answered in a concrete manner by the
Peace Conference now in session in
Paris. The question is giving deep
concern to the various nations assem-
bled, and particularly the United
States.
Not only is this country interested
from the immigration viewpoint, but
also from the viewpoint of the rela-
tionship of the American Negroes to
the body polite. 1t is an open secret
that the American Negroes are very
much determined to get more favor
able consideration from the govern
ment than has been accorded in the
past. This is especially true of the
South, but is applicable to every sec
ton of the country where open dis
elimination is practiced.
While loyal to the government in
every respect, there is no group of
people who can better sympathize
with the determinations because of
Race, that is being practiced upon the
Japanese, and the citizens of that
country are bold to say that if the
allies were sincere in the principles
for which they fought, there should
be no color line anywhere in the
world, but every nation and each in
dividual in every nation, should be
marked only by merit

nant over the treatment accorded Ne
gro soldiers, it is time for the whole
world to sit up and take notice Maj.
w. e. Clark, white guest of honor at
big luncheon of whites in one of the

ence to Negro soldiers:
ANY man in the United States

did as much to win the war as did the
President when he signed the decla-
ration to begin the conflict for free
dom.
''When the men of the Buffalo divi>
sion marched away from the city," de-
clared the major, "the streets were
lined with people, who cheered the
fighting Negroes on their way to fight
the Hun. They were willing that they
make the sacrifice, they were willing
that they should risk their lives for
freedom. And they cheered and
cheered.
To-day these men are returning.
They are walking the streets of the
city; and they are greeted, not with
cheers, but in silence. l protest as
southerner-as southener of entirely
southern extraction-against this
piece of injustice and inhumanity."

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 12.-
There is much encouragement here
over the attitude of the white people
with reference to giving the Negro a
square deal in the new era of justice
now manifesting itself throughout the
land.
There is much comment over a re-
cent editorial appearing in the Provi-
dence Daily Bulletin (white), which
said. in part: "They did not fight as
Afro-Americans. No foreign country
in their minds was claimant of either
primary OF. secondary allegiance. The
Colored soldiers were all Americans.
Republics, as a rule, may be migrate
full, but there should be an exception
here, and the Colored Americans
should stand higher than ever before
in the esteem of the whole nation as
people who see their patriotic duty
and do it,"
Growing sentiment of this kind is
bound to produce unusual results.

JAPANESE DENIED
RACIAL EQUALITY BY
PEACE CONFERENCE
CBy Associated Negro Pressl

PARIS, April 12-The League of
Nations commission has rejected the
Japanese amendment on racial equal
ity, according TO an authoritative
statement issued tonight Some of
the members of the commission voted
against the specific inclusion of this
amendment in the covenant and, as
unanimous approval of the commits
sion was necessary, the amendment,
which was strongly urged by the Jap
anese delegates, failed of adoption.
The statement follows:
"At meeting of the League of Ma
tions commission on Friday, April II,
the Japanese delegation proposed an
amendment to the preamble of the
covenant as follows:
"'To insert after the words by the
prescription of open, just and honor
able relations between nations an
additional clause, to read: BY the en-
dorsement of the principle of equality
of nations and just treatment of their
nationals
Phoenix tribune., 1919-04-19
Presentation Admirable

Inc amendment was admirably
presented by Baron Makino In the
course of his speech he emphasized
the great desire of the Japanese gov
ernment and of the Japanese people,
that such a principle be recognized in
the covenant. His argument was sup
ported with great force by Viscount
Chinda.
"a discussion followed in which
practically all of the members of the
commission participated. The discus
sion was marked by breadth of
thought, free and sympathetic ex-
change of opinion and a complete ap-
probation by the members of the COM
mission of the difficulties which lay
in the way of either accepting or re-
jecting the amendment.
1.-THE commission was impressed by
the justice of the Japanese claim and
by the spirit in which it was present
ed. Mention was frequently made, in
the course of the discussion, of the
fact that the covenant provided for
the representation of Japanese on the
executive council as one of the five
great powers, and that a rejection of
the proposed amendment could not,
therefore, be construed as diminish
ing the prestige of Japan.
Various members of the commits
sion, however, felt that they could not
vote for its specific inclusion in the
covenant Therefore, the commission
was reluctantly unable to give to the
amendment that unanimous approval
which is necessary for its adoption"
