THE VETERANS HOSPITAL

If present plans go through, white
doctors and nurses will man the new
hospital for colored veterans at Tus-
kegee, Alabama.
Governor Brandon of Alabama, and
General Steiner, department COM
mander of the American Legion are
so solicitous for the colored vet
Grams welfare that they are willing
to bury the old bugbear Of social
equality-of contact of colored men
with white doctors and nurses, in or
der that the boys may have the best
care, that is to say, white care. Bah!
Colored doctors and nurses have
not the skill to care for the men,
they claim. The many eolored hos
pitfalls of high standard over the
country are sufficient refutation of
this contention.
The real reason why white South
erners do not want a colored staff is
not that black doctors will not be
able to administer the proper care;
they do not want the colored profess
sional class given this outstanding
recognition, in the first place, and.
they do not want colored people to
receive the money that these positions
will pay, in the second place.
All civic bodies and organizations
of colored people over the United
States and particularly the women's
clubs should move in mass protest
against this exclusion. If white doc
tors and nurses cannot serve colored
patients in other hospitals of the
South, they cannot serve in the. gov
eminent hospital at Tuskegee. The
patients there will be black just like
the patients in Nashville, Atlanta or
Savannah.
The white. politicians and profess
sional class must either step out, or
remain and by so doing admit that
this contact talk is just stuff. From
what we have seen Of the Southern
white man we suspect that he viii
remain, admit his social equality doc
trine farce and stand convicted OF
ludicrous inconsistency--if he can
thereby get more dollars.

sected by shorter ones running north
and south. These insure ventilation
almost equal to that of scattered res
licences in small towns. They also
make possible a convenience that is
an almost unheard Of luxury in New
York-each residence can have it's
own private garage in the back, open
ing on the long court. 1t also saves
the residents from other nuisances,
as the garbage can does not have to
be set out in front, while trucks and
other delivery wagons can call at the
back door. One must generally go
through New York houses to reach
the back, for when the solid blocks
were built automobiles were not an.
ticipated and horse stables were not
allowed. The street entrances to
these courts are closed by tall iron
gates. For decoration there are
large cement urns, those in the south
block being placed at the intersee-
lions of the driveways. These are for
flowers and shrubbery in their sea-
son. In front the whole length of the
block on both sides is lined with
maple trees, and many of the resi-
dents have their iron balconies and
wide stoops adorned with flowers and
evergreens.
Some such community interest in
the beauty and quality of block or
neighborhood can be established in
any city where the residents own the
property, or the greater part of it.
Wherever colored people come into
possession Of good private home
property, they will find it to their
interest to unite in behalf of the
community.-William Pickens in the
Southern Workman.
