The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1921-01-15

erous and encored, but owing to the
lateness of the hour the best and
only response the Professor could
make was a broad congenial smile,
and an appreciative nod of the head.
Prof Phillips will give complete
reading Monday night, Jan. 18th at
the St. John Baptist Church, and
judging from the impression he made
upon his hearers Sunday, the Re-
porter will say cone early If you
expect to get seat. Indications
point to an announcement soon that
will be of interest to both Wichita
Falls and Dallas. Watch for it in the
Express, LADIES' Hear me! house
shoes are not permissible on the
streets even though you are only
going to your next door neighbor
A stranger seeing you on the streets
in your house shoes, and your lower
extremities encased in gaudy cover
ings, and your skirt about the length
of 16 year-old might mistake you
for what you are not. Be careful
how you conduct yourselves before
men, for as little as you may think
your morals are reckoned from your
conduct. CONTINUED from last week.
The unsanitary conditions of our
Public Schools, the inadequate faeil-
tiles appertaining thereto, and the
undey-pay of teachers, is chargable
| in a great measure to the teachers.
The Negro teacher is too easily sat
isfied. The mere fact that she is
known as a teacher in the public
school, and that he is hailed at 'Fes-
, SER" and these honors EQUIPPED with
whatever kind of (unsanitary) shan
ty" school building and whatever
meager salary the Supt. offers, he
accepts, and this as he sees it, makes
him a 100 per cent educator. 1t is
true that the patrons of any school
should be interested in its welfare.
But teachers are supposed to be land
this is purely suppositionaD well
versed in science and hygiene, ETC.,
and are reckoned as the classes and
should direct the masses; and it is
naturally expected that the teacher
should take the initiative in all move
ments appertaining to 1.-The welfare of
the public schools. More Anon.).
1t is rumored that the city is plan
ming to make our group 'cough-up'
pretty soon in the way of civic inn
provement. This is as it should be,
for it is characteristic of our people
to be made do that which is really
best for themselves. The City, l am
told, will demand cement sidewalks,
and possibly paved streets in the
Colored districts. There isn't a Col
ored man in Wichita Falls today
owning a home who couldn't build
cement sidewalks and pay his parata
for paved streets.
