No. My commercial capacities

nine shillings; she hesitated to risk
that on what was probably the
barest sporting chance of multi

speculate one can't win, and this
girl was born gambler with life.
She set her face toward Pad

The November afternoon was

into which she had changed ran
into the primitive little station at

The significance of these facts was

AUpAcITY, vULGARITY, SEN
SUALITY AT WENDELL
PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL
DANCING CLUB
By DR.. M. A. Majors

Accidently the writer saw through
4 window into the Antilles Hall, at
3sz4 Michigan avenue, some very dis
gushing, low, underworld stunts and,
on making inquiry what club or So
cietv it was holding such a smutty
orgy, was informed that it was the
Wendell Phillips High School Dane
ing Club. We were told that some
teacher acted as chaperon at their
weekly dances. We stopped, struck
dumb on learning that teacher OF
our own race would allow such as we
saw to be carried on in her presence
ANY woman would blush for shame to
see the ugly, low, nasty dances we
saw done by boys and girls between
IA and Is years of age, and supposed
to be the representative element OF
the race in the high school.
The sights we saw are indescribable
and too low to dwell upon, and 1--WE
wonder how in Gods name a teacher
can let such filth go on under her
observation. After nearly sixty years
we are greeted with new and startling
surprises. Unwarranted degradation,
the shadow of the old red light dis
trict the grotesque insolence OF ever
horrifying spectacle marauding the
minds of what we call tender youth
enacted as If it was intended to de-
stroy every possible human decency'
If this school is to be allowed by
the parents of the children, by the
school authorities, and by the cIti-
zens. what need is there for educa-
ton? What need have we to hope
for better things? If the ugly de-
bauch is to be encouraged we might
close I'D our Sunday schools and ind
interesting pastime in forbidding
goodness and responsibility among
people with dark skin.
If this High School Dancing Club
is Endorsed by the school authorities
it is covenant with he'll, born 81 the
devil. and fostered to kill out of the
ambitious hearts of our young men and
women all that is noble and inspiring
and that is respectable. This article
is intended to reach our. newspapers,
preachers, politicians and civic clubs,
hoping that a speedy investigation OF
this club shall be made and that It be
disorganized for the glory OF our chill
dren, the purity of our girls and the
deceney of our young manhood.
We had but one thought IN mind
when our eyes beheld the surprising
shocking lack of decency and the bold
daring vulgarity of those children tc
call the police.

THE JAPANESE AND THE
UNITED STATES

The Memphis Commercial Appeal is
very much exercised over the recen,
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court regarding the citizenship Of Ian
anese- No comment being necessary.
the following remarks are taken bodily
from ITS issue November Is. 1922:
1t must appear that if the
Government can refuse citizenship on
the grounds of race and color it can
also refuse citizenship for many other
reasons.
There should be few Prot
cStants against the right of the Ma
ton to choose its citizens, although it
must be admitted that a bar based on
race and color is weakened by the
provisions admitting those of African
descent. Since our descended Africans
are OF many different shades of color
a considerable burden of fact mig
placed on the courts OF citizens
the claims of those of
who might insist upon African s..
scent.
We believe that rigid .esj,
Tor good citizenship are more IL v,-
tant than immigration restriction ,zr,
based entirely upon the quantit ~
admitted"
This last sentence sums up the very
prevalent attitude in the South and
shows where the effort is made to rule
put people OF color-"rigid tests for
good citizenship" Is this editorial
