The public schools of Omaha will
reopen soon after a belated start,
due to an epidemic of Infantile
Paralysisand thousands Of young
STEERS will begin the trek back to
the class rooms.
In Omaha the increase in the
school population has not kept pace
with the increase in tire number of
adults. This is especially true in
the case Of Negroes in the high
schools.
We cannot be too emphatic in
urging that Negro parent make a
special effort to see that their
children complete the course in
high school at least, and if possible
70 on to some technical trade sshoo,
or college.
Its good for Tire character of the
Young Negro to have him COM
plete his high school course. More
over at least a high school educa-
ton is required for all employment
in this modern day.
1t is far better to have your boy
or girl occupying his or her time
in study than to be idle.
We do not consider education as
n panacea for our radical i'll, but
we do know that it benefits the
individual and those with any spe-
cial talent can develop faster

schools, buying new music, modern
izing Libraries, or purchasing new
instruments.
Opportunities are being born
every minute for alert and enter
prising musicians. The musical ac-
complishments of many artists
today doubtless had beginnings at
some instruments when they were
quite young.
To have a maturity enriched by
accomplishments and an under
standing of the cultural arts, the
parent or guardian should G that
his boy or girl receives instruction
on some instrument. For Daniel
