COLORED CHILDREN ROBBED
OF MONTHS TRAINING
Oklahoma Separate School Law A
blanket Covering Unfair Man
ipulatiOn of Negro Education

(Star News Service)
MUSKOGEE, Mar. 5.-The color
Ell school children Of Muskogee
are to lose one entire month of
school training. When May comes
they can throw their school books
under the bed or down the coal
chute into the cellar, and for four
long months instead Of three as here
tofore, they can play ball or fish to
fare-the-well. This opportunity
10 play to their hearts content dur
ing long vacation comes to them
because they are Negro children,
for under the Separate School laws
OF Oklahoma any sort or no sort of
provision for Negro education can
find SubStantiation tbro' the inter
probation Of the school law, which
at its very incipiency had but one
aim and that to deter Negro educa-
ton in Oklahoma almost to the point
of denying it altogether. While the
Negro boys and girls are loafing on
Muskogee's streets, they are during
the month of May to witness the es-
tatic ineffableness of merely being
white, when they see the while
children passing as usual on their
way to the white schools which run
for the full nine months period.
This loss Of a month has been
hanging like the sword of Damoclas
over the heads Of the Negro school
patrons for number of years. Sew
eral times an escape from this short
ening Of the school term has been
made only thro' the energetic efforts
CT certain prominent Negroes who
went before the Excise Board and
pleaded for fair and just treatment
in the matter. Among those partic-
ularly instrumental in putting off
this disaster are the Hon. Emmett
Stewart and Hon. II. T. Walker, well
known attorneys. II is sad to relate
that never at any time have the color
ed parents of the thousand and more
pupils in these schools risen in their
might and protested against this
wrong Many patrons have the fool
ish idea that it is a teachers fight
but while there are thirty or forty
teachers, there arc nearly 1000
school children, and only fool
would consider this loss of school
training to 2,U00 School children OF
less importance than .he loss of time
to 30 ro 40 teachers.
As far as the teachers are concern
ed their position is deplorable and
worthy OF general public commisera-
tion At the opening OF the schools
last September a raise in all the sal
aries except one was made. This was
indeed proper and was joyfully met
by the Colored teachers. II is well
known that the lowest paid teach
er in white schools gels same salary
as highest colored grade teacher
Hence the raise came as long de
ferred blessing. But now at end OF
school year, one month is cut of

Silver Price Causes Trouble in China

While Americans have been buying
British pound sterling in New York
for $3.70 or less, Americans have teen
paying $100 in American gold for 76
Mexican dollars, which are in current
use in China.
This unprecedented advance in the
rate of exchange in Shanghai has
been due to the acute rise in the price
of silver. Probably no country in the
world has been more sharply affected
by this enhanced value of silver than
has China

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
The card party and dance given by
the Ladies' Auxiliary was a glorious
success and long after midnight it
was when the strains of Goodnight,
Ladies'" reminded us that the enter
tainment had drawn to a close. When
the music had ended the crowd still
fingered in the hall and clubrooms
and seemed reluctant to go. Good
cakes there were galore, and the way
the former veterans crowded about
the refreshment table reminded us of
the end of muddy day when night
halted the march and we fell in on
the mess line. The only thing miss
ing was the noise of the cast-iron
spoon in the empty mess kit, and that
is our idea of nothing to miss.
We had a very successful meeting
last Monday night and the debates
and arguments reminded Mcmillan of
the first democratic convention he
ever attended Somehow we seem to
delight in sitting upon our fat mess
sergeant friend whether he is right or
wrong, and a meeting without Mac is
a dull meeting. If Mac ever quits
coming to our t,i-monthly session, we
will have to rent the hall to the Jew
ish Welfare board or Y. NC A. be-
cause there won't be any use in at
tending the meetings.
1t was with profound regret that
the resignation of Stanley Stretton
was accepted as vice-commander of
the Post. "Stret" has gone and we
miss him, but we hope to have him
back with us again. For the time be-
ing he is located at Hayden, where
he is connected with the Standard Oil
company. Mr.. w. S. Osborn was elect
ed and qualified in place of Mr.. STREET
ton.
Miss Josephine Cunningham ten
dered her resignation as treasurer of
the Post. She has carried on those
duties for us faithfully and we'll, and
is charter member of the organiza-
ton, but more urgent duties at the
hospital necessitates resigning the
financial affairs of the Legion into the
hands of another member who can
better spare the time. We elected
Mr.. G. A. Tod as the new treasurer
ty unanimous vote
The executive committee proposed
a number of rules for the use Of the
club rooms which were voted upon
and accepted. In drawing up the
rules old familiar expressions were
used and if thing was not declared
to be "defendu" it was "out of
bounds" Especial emphasis was
placed on the good old game of indoor
oPOAI Io' oOAuCIIucS IGl6IIOU IO III al
fectionate terms as African golf. It
was decided that as measure of
precaution, not that it has happened,
but in case it might, we hadn't better
scratch up our dance floor by throw
ing the golf balls around so it was put
on the nothing-doing list. So, dear
members, if you ever hear the express
sion again, Il shoots ten francs" it
won't be up in our club rooms.
After the smoke of the fight on
April 23rd has cleared away we are
going to take action of benefit dance
for the Ray ball club.

are about all disposed of and we
