presaging arrests in the attack on
three Filipinos by an unidentified
band of Americans.

suspects into custody at that time.

meeting voted to stay. One of the
victims was knocked unconscious
but escaped serious injury, a second
suffered a fractured skull and a

What Is Wrong?
az JOSEPH statonl

FOR SEVERAL YEARS the
honor society Of a local high school
always had membership Of sew
eral colored students. Now there
are none. Colored students rank
ed high in scholastic attachments
and were praised BY their teachers.
Today there are no outstanding
high school students of color and
instead Of praise, many Of the col
ored boys and girls have been re-
bulxed or censured for misconduct.
What is wrong
The boys Of this particular high
school are achieving fame as ath-
letes and several are officers of
the student boards and committees.
No such honors have been won by
the girls. What is wrong? Arc
we to blame the parents Are
they indifferent to the welfare Of
their children and too easy IA exer-
cising parental authorityg Are col
ored parents giving the attention
they should give to the education
and training of their children?

ed parents visit schools and inquire
concerning their child. The teach
ers are willing to cooperate with
parents in safeguarding the vel
