 While the women's quarters are seldom used, they should be kept in readiness for women prisoners to be brought in any time of day or night and are not used except in grave overcrowding.
 Marshal Nolan has asked his dc partment for a modern heating plant. The present plant is expensive to operate and does not heat she building satisfactorily. He wants an addition built for women prisoners so that the space now used for wom- en may be utilized for men. He wants showers instead of bathtubs and some more windows and he particularly wants more fire pro- lection than is afforded by the pres ent equipment - two pyrene exiting ulSners.
 The Wrangell jail has the repu- tation of being the best in south eastern Alaska. Mr. Nolan has 1t kept scrupulously clean and free of insect life, and prisoners get two good meals a day, but it is not pos sible to provide adequate segrega- tion light or air in the jail.

leading educational institutions Of
our country. Aecordins to the en-
inent Dr.. Walker, little hope Of COM
plete Amelicanization OF The Negro
Is seen. The only way we can claim
absolute Ameiicanism Is to be adapt
able to the American system OF ed
ucation, economics, and social and
political endeavor.
IF we cease the effort to adjust
ourselves to the national system,
VIC are lending ourselves to the per-
pt pttuation Of segregated group Of
tie American citizenry. Whether il
is called Negro education, or educa-
| ton for Negroes, as long as there is
a difference in method, we fail te
realize the proper objective.
In settinng himself up as an ad
vocate Of new idealism in education
for Negroes, Dr.. Walker has drawn
| a challenge from this group Of ma
tionally known educators. Some ex-
pressions from Or. Ambrose Caliver4
! Negro attachc of the IT. S. Depart
ment Of Education, il likely to come
as part Of this controversery as an
objective view Of this Negro educa-
tional method advocated by Dr.. Wal
ker.
The general criticism seems to. be
that it we are to expect equal rights
as American citizens, we must be
trained under American methods,
and must be adaptable to these me-
thods in their entirety. Our utmost
ambition should be to be Americans,
not Negro Americans.
