High School should be made "colored. ;"
That would be an outrageous perver-
sion Of the name, for Wendell Phillips
was 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 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: "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.

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.

ZONE HALF OF THE WORLD
DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE
OTHER HALF LIVES"


Most of the people in the United
States who are not in the profiteer,
or bloated bondholder class, cannot
help wondering how their friends and
neighbOrs live in these strenuous
H. c. l.. times? We believe we're
having an awful time but how would
it be with US if we had to pay as they
do in Russia.
The Russian ruble is nominally
worth trifle more than half a dollar
OF our money. Reckoned on that
basis, bread in Russia is now selling
at 1925 pound, flour at $3.50 to $3.50
a pound, beef at $275 to $500 a pound,
pork at $3.50 pound, salt at $3.50 a
pound, butter at $1,000 to $1,000 a
pound, the cheapest tobacco at $4,000
to $4,000 a pound, cigarettes SIS to IS
each, and matches, half of which will
not light, at $50 box. Army ra-
tions cost $500 to $500 day for each
man. Apparently, the cheapest thing
in the country is paper with the ruble
mark printed on it. All of which is
to be commended to those who are
preaching the superiority of the Soviet
to the Republic.

Trainb,s of the Child.

<<YT is the girl who is too friend

ers and all. whom we have
70 "watch closest" said the head
police matron OF large city. She
is watchful and confding. and has
a smile for all who meet her eyes
with theirs. Evil-minded men
quickly mark her as a possible vic
tim. and sometimes put in weeks ot
watchful waiting for their chanc"
to snare her. We recently had in
charge a case of this kind wherein
the man admitted on trial that he
had kept his eye on the girl for
nearly a year.
"But what can be done to protect
these innocent victims?" was asked
of the matron. Her reply and gem
eral advice to all concerned fol-
lows as substantially given:
First, It is necessary to give
brief description of the overhead
" girl who hovers so often along
the border line Of delinquency. She
is surprisingly young, rather low
in mentality. IL she is SIN attend
ing school you will find her about
two wears behind her age. dull and
Indifferent. She will go almost
anywhere with almost any man,
and without appearances OF sus-
picion.
Second, as to what can he done to
protect tho possible friendly girl
victim OF designing men. Let po-
Iicemen. matrons and social work
ers caution her against possible
harm, and caution her parents ike
wise.
Keep this girl at work " you can.
Regular, congenial industry is about
her best safeguard. AS soon as she
quits school she may be trained to
become a very useful household as
slstant. 1t is best to train her 10
do well few simple, definite
things. The employer should be a
responsible person. and one who
will exercise some motherly in1u-
ence over her. Encourage her to
60 out at evening with some older
girl in her class, we'll established in
habits of self-defense.
Finally, keep this weaker type OF
girl from marrying, IL you can. We
are anxious to eliminate her class
from the race stock as fast as pos
sible. 1t Is practicable TO guide
such a girl away from men and
marriage and by the time she is
twenty-five or more very well es-
tablished in a set of life habits that
will tend strongly toward pcrma-
nent abstinence from marriage
