Senior Normal Play


The Normal Senior class play,
"Pygmalion and Galatea" attracted
large crowd to the Community Church
Tuesday evening, and everyone was
loud in the praise of the girls TAX
ing part for their splendid work.
The play was comedy in three
acts in which many complications
arise from statues coming alive.
Pygmalion, the sculptor, played by
Maud Covington, was very good, and
brought many laughs. His beautiful
wife, Cynisca, was portrayed very
well by Miss June Severson; Galatea,
the statue, which cause all the trouble
was taken by Mrs. Bertha Kastle.
The two comedians of the evening
were Misses Pearledel Lewis, as Chry-
so, and Clara McKeen, as Darhne, his
wife. Miss Mildred Simmons was
Chryso's slave and Norma Nichols,
the slave of Pygmalion. The lovers,
Leucippe and Myrine, were portrayed
very well by Miss Mildred Sherman
and Miss Edith Welch. The stage
setting was very good ,and the girls
showed that they had received much
training and that hard work had been
done on the play. Miss Aren't, who
coached the play, deserves much cred
it for the work.

WHAT is THIS WORLD COMING TO-?

The atrocities that brought on the
great world war and which was con-
tinued during its four years of activi
ties, seems to have had the effect of
hardening the hearts of men every
where. Life and property weigh moth
ing in the scale. All sense of reason,
right, justice, mercy and every laud-
able human attribute seems to be en-
tirely lost sight of. All of which
causes US to wonder what is this world
coming to? Pouring oil on human
beings by other human CD beings
and setting fire to them was thought
to be pastime peculiar to prejudiced
southerners, but it appears that the
Turks in Armenia surpassed them by
a large majority when they broke
where Arnienians were crowded,
poured burning oil on them set the
buildings on fire and 5000 persisted in
the flames. Six thousand more Ar
menians were killed in the lombard
ment and a 1000 more died from cold,
exposure, lack Of food and other
causes. Economic conditions at home
and abroad are in a deplorable state
it seems to be every man for himself
and the devil take the hind most
which again causes us to exclaim:
What is this world coming to?

THE BEGINNINGS OF SEGREGA.
TON.

The following item from the Chicago
Daily Tribune is interesting as show
ing the various influences which are
suggesting and encouraging segrega-
ton.
1.-THE possibility of Wendell Phillips
High school at Thirty-ninth street and
Prairie avenue being set apart for COL
ored pupils exclusively, "by natural
segregation" was suggested last night
by Principal Charles H. Perrine. At
the First Presbyterian church, Grand
boulevard and Forty-first street. Dr.
6. Perrine spoke at the first of series
of Sunday night community meetings
in connection with the Chicago Plan.
Negro boys and girls deserve the
best available in the way of teachers
and equipment. The district around
Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming
settled by colored people, and there
are comparatively few white pupils.
They are getting fewer and fewer
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-04-03

1.-THE time is near at hand when we
shall need another high school farther
south to take care of the increased
white population there A modern
high school located somewhere near
Fiftieth street will be necessary soon
and should be included in the Chi
cago Plan. Wendell Phillips will be
then exclusively for colored pupils.
They should be given the finest high
school possible"
The Rev. William Covert, pastor of
the First church, Announces a series
of discussions on Sunday evenings to
consider the duty of the church in the
development of the Chicago Plan.
Like nine out of every ten schemes
for the degradation Of the colored peo-
pie it was suggested by supposed
friend and perhaps there is "nigger
in the woodpile." That is perhaps
Perrine had talked with some jimcrow
NEGRO" who approved the outrageous
plan. There are some jimcrow
negroes" in Chicago and in other
cities including St. Paul and Mime
apolis.
Like the majority Of schemes for
the degradation of the colored people
it was incubated in a so-called Church
of Christ.
Principal Perrine said that the dis
trict was becoming settled by colored
people and therefore Wendell Phillips
High School should be made "colored."
That would be an outrageous perver-
sion Of the name, for Wendell Phillips
was a real Christian white man who
| devoted his life to work in righting
the wrongs of his colored brethren.
There are neighborhoods in Chicago
inhabited almost exclusively by Ital-
ians, Chinese, Poles, Russians and other
foreigners, but the thought never
comes to Mr.. Perrine or others of his
ilk to restrict the children in those
neighbOrhOOds to s'exclusive" Italian,
Chinese, Polish or Russian schools.
The schools remain PUBLIC schools,
open to ALL
There has been much talk about the
Chicago Plan" and now we are get
ting some intimation that segregation
is to be part of that plan. However
we believe that the thinking colored
people of Chicago have their eyes open
and will be ready to fight jimcrowiza-
ton of the schools
One thing that Mr.. Perrine said is
true: 1.-THE colored boys and girls are
entitled to the best in the way of
equipment and teachers" The colored
children have the same rights as other
children, no more and no less. To at
tempt to segregate them is to take
from them their birthright The only
| way they can get the best" is to at
tend the identical schools that other
American children attend. A jimcrow
| school built of gold and studded with
diamonds would still carry with it the
degradation for which it was designed.

DOES THIS INTEREST YOU?

On a certain farm of four acres in
the Lake Phalen district in 1918 crop
of 400 bushels of navy beans was
raised, harvested and sold at $500 per
bushel; in 1919 owing to certain condi-
lions, only 200 bushels were raised
which sold for $3.50 per bushel. The
owner of this little farm is unable to
work it this year, and wishes to Sc
cure man who understands raising
beans to work the land. The owner
will furnish the land the machinery
and the seed and divide the proceeds
on a $3.50 basis. All the man will
have to do is to perform the work
necessary to raise the beans. If this

have to contend, and the most serv-

well-paid Negro, they can establish

but FIGHT! Let the churches and

activity for the moral betterment of
Cleveland's youth, and your press, pul.
pit, your ballot, and every other power
within you. Agitate for admission
into the associations which bear the
name of Jesus who was mo respector
of persons" until they acquire a sense
of shame"
THE APPEAL agrees with every
word that Mr.. Thomas has written.
The Y. NJ. c. A., social settlements,
community SERVICE" and all similar
schemes are efforts at segregation,
pure and simple. Their purpose is to
bar the colored people from quasi-pub-
lie institutions, to which all other peo-
pie are admitted without question.
When the "colored" Y. M. c.. A. was
opened in Chicago, THE APPEAL pre-
dicted editorially that it would prove
curse, by reason Of creating greater
prejudice and the prediction has been
more than verified. It will take a thou
sand years to undo the wrong it has
done. Possibly ten thousand years
may not right the wrongs done by the
|, establishment of jimcrow Christianity
associations in the United States.
The man who has given so much
money to divide American Christians
along the color line is a Jew. How
could it be possible for a Jew to be in
terested in the spread of Christianity {?
The idea is ridiculous The shrewd
Jew knew that by catering to the blind
prejudice of the so-called white Christ
tians would bring in dollars. He also
knew that jimcrow negroes" would
laud him for his philanthropy" and
start lot of colored mems white sill
yer dollars rolling his way. It was a
plain Jewish business proposition.
Cupidity not humanity caused him to
spend his money for his pet charity"
And it has paid. For every dollar he
has put in he has taken out two.
The colored man must fight to fin
ish any attempt to bar him from any
public or semi-public institution.
