Just within the month. Hans

Better Race Relations

Interracial church women who re-
Gently met in conference at Wyncote.
Pa. for the purpose of working out
national plans for better race relations
in America, have concluded a-Chris-
..anized and ambitious program, which
4, worthy Of nationwide effort.
The proposed policies call for the
frequent exchange Of interracial visits
between religious opponents of both
racial groups, with the view, we pre-
sumo, of promoting contact as a
background for real understanding,
from which the whites will CLEAN that
since there is but one heaven they
might as we'll begin now to prepare for
the unity which will prevail there.
The ardent Christian women ask
HAT in securing places for Christian
conventions, locations be selected at
which the delegates can attend on the
same basis.
In practical lines they call for a
changing attitude on the part of white
employers and workers toward colored
workers; for the encouragement and
training Of colored workers for more
equitable opportunities in industry and
ior better placements.
They demand that educational insti-
buttons, both public and private, shall
give only a true presentation of the
Negro and his contribution to Amer
lea; and they point out the benefits in
Negro health work, Of removing dis
ordinations against Negro physicians
in municipal and other provisions for
training and experience.
In all, the church women have per-
iected a laudable reformation for the
Church, the white wing of which, dur
ing the past century, has exhibited the
grossest example Of neglect we have
observed.
II it would have done so,-yea, if it
had had the Christian fortitude with
which it should have been surcharged,
the church could have clasped the hand
Of the Negro and led him forward to
Faith, Love and God.
Compelled though to seek his own
God, the breach between the Negro
and the white Christian creed is both
broad and deep. The church can mend
its ways, if it will; and the Wyncote
delegates have shown it how to do 50.
There is yet time to Love the Lord,
thy God with all thy heart and thy
neighbor as thyself."
Is the church at last ready to prac-
tice what it breaches?

The vexadOus Servant Problem"

Inc NeXauouS Servant problem
The vexstious question Of keeping
Bridget" "Susanne," MARY" and
Dinah" continuously on the job with
frying pan, mop, broom and dustpan,
decade after decade, seems to be a
problem which affects only the three
hrst-named denizens of kitchen, bed
room and bath, according to table
which has been recently published by
the Y. S. Bureau of the Census, which
says, in conclusion: This table shows
that the percentage of females Of every
race except the Negro is domestic and
personal service declined between 1910
and 1920"
The table referred to plainly shows
that during the ten-year period, 1910
1920, the native white servant class Of
native parentage declined from q per
cent in 1910 to ia per cent in 1920;
the native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage decreased from 23.2 per cent
tn 161 per cent; and the foreign-born
whites fell from $50 per cent to 35.S
per cent.
With the marked abandonment Of
household duties on the part of the
whites, some one, of course, had to
hll the gap in kitchens, budoirs, and
dining rooms; and the vacant places
were filled by colored females, ten
years Of age and over, who climbed
from percentage Of 42.4 in 1910 to
1913 per cent in 1920, thus saving the
day for those in search Of honest, ener-
getic and stable cooks, landmarks,
mattresses, nurses and general house
workers.
We are happy, Of course, to find one
spot as to which the Negro is encour-
aged to seek to reach the highest PIN
nacle of work success. Nevertheless,
We are bit discouraged when we re-
member that the white domestic group,
which in decade graduated into
clerks, stenographers, teachers, execu-
tves, and skilled artisans in the trades
and vocations, were not accompanied
by commensurate percentage Of our
own faithful wives, daughters, mothers
and sisters.
