errors of statement which appeaed

HITS LOCAL
BRANCH
Wants Openings In
Hospitals For
Physicians

Approximately five hun
dred public-spirited citizens
gathered at Hartford Ave.
Baptist Church Sunday, and
listened to a militant adj
dress delivered by S. F.
Grigsby, of the Civic Rights
Committee.
Mr.. Grigsby spoke on THE In
CAPABILITIES OF Our Educational Sys-
tenn And the Challenge 1t Offers To
Youth" Among other things, the
speaker said:
I'm order to give you clear pic
ture of the inequality OF our edu-
cational system, it is necessary for
me to point out the contrast be-
ween the educational system of the
South and that of the North.
I'm the South, there is a dual
educational system, with separate
schools for white and colored.
From 1919 to 1882, statistics show
that in the Southern State sthe
school year for white children aver
aged $50 days, and only 100 for col
ored. The average pay received by
Negro teachers was 462 a year: for
white teachers, 1897.
I'm the City OF Detroit. the law
provides that Negroes are entitl-
ed to the same rights and privileges
enjoyed by other citizens here,
there are no separate schools for
white and colored, however, the
percentage of colored teachers EN-
ployed is small"
In conclusion, Mr.. Grigsby chal-
lenged the local N. A. A. G.. p. to
adopt the same militant policy en-
ployed by the N. A. A. c. p. in New
York City, in opening hospitals to
Negro physicians and nurses. He
pointed out that as a result OF the
crusade in New York City, the hos
pitfalls there have 1O2 jobs to ply
sicians of the race and S24 open
ings are available for nurses to
receive training and employment.
