SCHOOL TALK FROM SCHROEDER
Continued from first page)

To let children walk to and from
school is not only a means of lessen
ing expenses for the taxpayers, it is
also a great benefit for the children.
Yea, indeed, in a country where gym
nastics has not been introduced in
schools it is a necessary counter
balance against the restraint during
long school hours for so long time
of the year to which the children are
subject, with their heads bent over
the desk, their backs curved, their
feet chained to the floor and limbs
to- the chairs, and their eyes fixed on
their work, while every muscle is re-
belling, wanting to be free and in
action, and while their lungs are
aching for fresh, live air, their heart
motions retarded and their blood not
getting enough coloring for want of
pure oxygen-loaded air.
The present school system is hard
on the children's health We build
up their minds and tear down their
bodies. In rural districts we have to
keep them shut up in the schoolhouse
seven hours day, because we cannot
manage to have a teacher and a
separate room for each class, while
or hours otherwise would be- plenty.
(The writer of this never had longer
hours than between and q. And
then on top of it all, we deny them
the benefit of walking to- and from
school, which would be- such good
counteraction of the school sitting.
OF course one thing is essential in 4
severe winter climate for walking,
viz: good clothing to protect the
children from getting cold and
getting wet, and instead of transpor-
tation the school districts should
provide the children with warm and
protecting extra outer garments 1t
would be cheaper for the taxpayers
and much better for the children.
A curious thing with the trans
portation business is that parents,
who most doggedly insist that the
taxpayers money be spent to haul
their children to school, in so many
instances are foreiganborn. In their
native countries they themselves had
had to walk, maybe as long ways as
six english miles, in all kinds of
weather. And this did not hurt
them, as may be- seen ON the immi-
gratis who land here from northern
Europe, fat and strong, rosy and
healthy.
In the old country the people are
glad and thankful TO- have free
schools, and by no means want their
children to miss day of schooling,
tho no such thing as free transporta-
ton is provided. They do not think
of evincing any obstinacy for any
reason in sending their children to
school, and would be ashamed to let
q moderate walking distance hinder
them from training their issue to
ciMlised men and women But here
as an immigrant in this hospitable
country that same individual grossly
demanding and arrogant, and makes
life sour for the school officers.

OBLIGATION OWED TO NEGRO SOLDIERS

The Voice Of the People, cOlored newspaper
published III Birmingham makes a forccful plea
for cooperation between the white and colored
races to insure fair treatment for the Negro soldier.
1t offers the timely suggestion that campaign be
carried on by prominent white citizens and leaders
among the colored people TO counteract unrest and
prove TO the Negro citizens of Birmingham, many
of whom are not informed of the true public scnti-
ucnt III this community, that the Negro soldiers
conduct in the war is appreciated by the white peo-
pie Of birmingham.
II is never the best element of the white popula-
ton in birmingham, or anywhere else in the south,
that causes trouble between the races As the Voice
Of the People correctly SAYS, when the Negro sol
dcrs went away to war the entire city was glad to
honor them and wish them Godspeed. Now that
these men are coming home, there is all the more
reason to show them that the part they played in
the war shoulder to shoulder with the white soldiers
of Alabama, has not been forgotten.
II is gratifying to record that predictions that
returning Negro soldiers, having a taste of army
life and seen something of the world would be
trouble makers, have not come true. Negro soldiers
are conducting themselves in an orderly manner.
In fact, the training they have received will make
them more useful citizens than they were before
The white and colorcd civic societies of Brming-
ham can do good work in dssipating unfoundcd
prejudice against Negro men in uniform and help
ing in the task Of read justment to peace conditions
which contronts everyone alike-Birmngha

LYNcH1NG, THE NATIONAL CRIME

The record Of Negroes in the war is said to be-
without conspicuous exception, above reproach In
France they were treated on terms of equality with
whites by French men and women. However, in
the fighting line the Negroes did not show coward
ice but acquitted themselves bravey.
Negroes who fought in the war return to a coun-
try which boasts that il has freed the Negro and
given him education and the chance for living fuller
and better lives. The lynching Of Negroes by ex-
ctable mobs continues in that country, especially
in the South. Public opinion toerates it, and re-
spectacle white men engage in the barbarou5 prac-
tice.
In the South an attempt has been made to arouse
people against lynching. The effort has never been
determined enough and the sentiment of the South
has never crystallized against it. Sections Of the
Eastern and Northern opinion and press have been
generously critical of the South's shortcomings in
this respect which have existed beyond question,
yet little has been done to suppress race riots and
lynchings which have occurred in all sections. As
concerns Iynchings, the Southern states are chiefly
guilty, but it will be stamped out by cooperative
activities against it instead of mutual recrimina-
tions.
The National Conference on Lynching will
scmble some of the leading uplift in the coun-
try to New York to discuss the problem Under
the circumstances the time is propitious for
tionwide campaign through the press, especially
the opinion Of the people condemns lynching and
laws it out Of bounds, it will be next to impossible
to ever remove it.-Nashvilc Tennesscan.
