VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS OPEN TO NEGRO BOYS

The colored boy who wishes to become a farmer can
now receive practical agricultural training in the public
schools OF his community says Calvin f. Mcintosh mem
Der OF the Federal Board of Vocational Education In
OF the IL southern states which maintain separate public
schools for Negroes vocational schools of agriculture have
been organized In these schools the colored boy is Of
fered intensive training to fit him for all branches of
practical farming.
AT the close Of the fiscal year 1921-22 total of 165
vocational agricultural schools for Negroes were in oper
alton This number compares with 1873 schools reported
for the previous year. Pupils enrolled in agricultural
classes in 1922 numbered 064 In 192O21 the enroll

mated % per cent
The only limited factor to the expansion of these
schools is the lack of trained Negro vocational teachers

maintaining teachertraining schools. Last year. 280

ALL CAN JOIN

The coored citizens of Phoenix are making drive
for 1000 members for the local branch National Assoca
tOn for the Advancement of ColOred People. This is
fight in which all can join because of the farreachng
benefits to be gained by its success. The N.AACP.
stands for equal rights equal and exact justice and equal
opportunities for all men regardless of color creed
On account of being denied certain rights, that
freely accorded other citizens and Aliens the colored peo
pie of this country have found themselves greatly hand
capped IN the enjoyment of the labor of their hands, the
skill OF their brain and the pursuits of happiness There
FORE they feel that is quite necessary for them to
ganize for their own advancement and protection.
There is who is stupid not to know some
thing about the power of organization The power of
ganization lies in its numbers There is much to be
done by organization of this kind And whatever is
dOne rule, the whole is the beneficiary at
least the entire community is benefited.
Just how of so-called leaders and thinkers
can move and act ndfferenty to movement of this
kind, is pretty hard to We readily see why
group might differ in politics. church creeds and
societies. because it's largely matter Of choice follow
ing after the footsteps of parents ETC. But have
choice when rights as citizens are at stake What
affects affects ALL There in sitting supiney
by with deaf to the daily warnings that be-
fore your eyes. Every time coored person mstreated
IN any form simply because he or she is colored the
chains being forged tighter which choking our
very lives out.
Where are those who boast of their LOYALTY and race
pride Where those who suffer with those who are
insuted daily because they identified with the coored
race? Surely this is the time to show LOYALTY It's
utter fooshness presume that YOU and yours are Sc
long the least among you be ynched with
impunity.
No one can say the is not right. If there are
those who differ with the method of administration join
in and help bring about change The N.A.ACP. will
live The work set out to do will triumph as sure as
the coming of the Lord Those who join in the fight are
Fastening the salvation of the race.
Instead of asking for 1000 new members 2O0O men
and in Phoenix should be anxious to answer the
call and count it privilege to be among those who are
fighting for freedom. Surely there will be no sackers

NOBODY KICKS A DEAD HORSE
(By Geo. w. Buckner)

Rapid strides made by the Negro in certain fields Of
human eneavor have effected the sharpest dsapprova
well as the hearties encouragement of his brothers
Wherever he has had the slightest chance to
even modest education he has developed with such
aacrty that communities, particularly southern have
granted him scarcely pittance per capita fearing the
competition intelligence always offers.
He has been denied the ballot in the southern states
because suffrage leads to reedon-a least freedom to
say who shall and who shall not hold office He has also
been denied the right to vote because he will of course
remember the cuprit when seeking office who robbed
him and his kind of life and home.
So he is kicked and driven like horse, but he kicks
backl
A Live Horse Always Kicks When Punished
For forty years the Negro has been told to buy a
home So thoroughly has this principle been drilled into
him that he longer satisfied to live in cump among
his brothers but he seeks here and there to buy
home in the more desirable sections of the city He at
once becomes object of scorn
He Is Kicked Because He Is Alve
Nobody kicked him when he was living to himself
To the rest of the world he dead
But Nobody Has Ever Kicked the Negro
About Businessl
Why? Because he is dead! Although the Negro has
spent upward OF $9O0O00 church property there has
been no kicking ''Sing and shout much as you may;
that's all right says the white man. The church in
wolves no commercial business, and Negro business
has caused us thought among the financial goods and
demi- gods of America
The Negro in ST. Louis spends the writer pointed
out in Reedys Mirror three years ago. than
000yeary for Shoes $1OOOOOO yearly for clothing and
$50, 100000 yearly for food
The st. Louis Negro does not attempt meet any of
his daily needs nobody kicks him.
He receives the most courteous attention in stores
operated for him but not by him.
No factory will employ him at skilled work, except
under great duress, and then only in very small numbers
They know the Negro is dead He can't kick There
fore they don't fear him and they don't kick him.
People Kick and Kick to Kill You When You
Show Life!
They kicked and killed Christ He had life
They kick the Jew because he's armed, and meets his
opponent at every angle. He knows much as his op
pressor in any line And he is business genius and
works.
Nobody Kicks the Negro in Business Because
He is No Contender
Over $12OOOOOO is said to be deposited in banks in
st. Louis by Negroes But they won't finance Negro
business because the Negro would become subsa
tal competitor.
Hence, they don't kick him. They pat him and offer
a welcome smile
