COLORED PARENTS
GAIN POINT in SUIT
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

Baltimore, Md, Aug a. Judge

for colored parents of the county who
are suing to force the board of edu-

the parents and for the BaltimOc
branch of the y. ~. A. c. p, filed Il
replication The board of education's
attorneys then filed a demurrer to
this replication and it was this de

The Baltimore county high school
case, which is being pushed by the
Baltimore branch of the y. A. 4. G.
l.. and the national office i'm New
York, seeks to end the condition
whereby the county furnishes IL pub
lie high schools for white children
and not one Cor colored children. For
years the colorcd children have been
sent into Baltimore City TO attend
high schools there. However the couil
has appropriated only so much
money for tuition for the Negro stu.
ents and for many years over half
he colorcd children eligible to 90 to
high school have been prevented from
doing so because the county did not
furnish enough money for their tut
ton.
The Baltimore county case is part
OF the nationwide campaign for cdu
cational equality being carried on by
the n. A. \. c. =. under the direction
of Charles II. Houston, special coun
sci of the association.

what IL successful living: That j.
question that in all ages has puzzl-
ed philosophers, educators. minister's,
and scientists. Most Of them have Civ

answer. The best definition of sue.
cessful rural living that has come 10
my attention in the Angus issue Of
The Farmers Wife," 1t is by some
Master Farm Homemakers who met
in Washington in June. Here il is:
Economic soundness i'm agriculture.
Respect for the business Of agri-
culture and use of scientific primci-
pies i'm farm business and farm life.
Maintaining and conserving the
soil and its resources for the future.
Love Of the land entrusted To our
care and skill in the practices on
which good farming relies.
Appreciation OF the inherent values
of country living.
Satisfying work balanced with ere
alive leisure.
Education that develops body,
mind, and character, and opens ave-
nues To enriched living.
! A sense Of unity anS mutual Deepen
,dence i'm family and community life
with opportunity for full personal
development.
/ Citizenship that unitcs idcalism
and personal service.
Resolve to understand the back
ground, character, and problem of
other peoples, that the way of peace
shall prevail upon the earth.
Faith in a Supreme Being revealing
Himself through natural laws and hu
man personalities.
! Determination that the rural home
through sane and sincere living shall
remain stabilizing force in a highly
complex society.

The Lindberghs

THE LINDBERGHS have gone to Eng
land to live, away from the curious pry-
ing eyes of fellow Americans and the
constant dread that their second son might
also fall the victim of kidnappers.
Most Americans took the news with a
feeling of shame. While federal authorities
in few short months, pretty effectively
licked the kidnap racket, there is no denying
that celebrities are regarded as public pro-
perry in metropolitan areas and are quite
generally watched, chased and treated as If
they were some sort of freaks.
We sincerely believe that the Lind
berghs might have found contentment and
fair treatment had they picked a rural
American community, in Minnesota for in
stance, for their home. After the first few
meetings. rural neighbors would have been
satisfied that they are only human beings
after all and lived with them and treated
them as such. Of course we would all have
been curious the first few weeks, but they
will find their English neighbors also have
that human quality. Their trouble in and
near large cities was that no matter how
long they lived there there were still plenty
of people who had not seen them and plenty
of them boorish enough to make life un-
nleaSant
