learned and adopted much of
the racial prejudice pattern OF
the community. The reward of
the new project came, not only
in the day-by-day results which
then teacher could See-the in
itiative and intense interest Of
the pupilS-but two years later
when high school teacher
told her that the members of
the class that had gone from
the Glen Oak project were free
from racial prejudice which
was normally evident in the
high school.
Another important factor en-
tered into the success of the
project. Without it there could
have been few lasting results.
The teacher herself in her own
complete freedom from pref
udice and discrimination and
in her love for children of all
races set an example that was
the crown Of her teaching.
OF the Importance of ex-
ample and of association much
is being said by educators. No
where is the principle more
important than in educating
for race unity. "If a student
can catch a hint of bigotry
from his instructor he is re-
assured in his own unreason-
ng prejudice" an interracial
worker on the West coast has
stated.

EDUCATION FOR RACE UNITY
A BAHAI RELEASE
By ALICE SIMMONS cox

At a time when a large part
Of the world is falling victim to
the ferocity Of racial prejudice
as devastating in its effect on
social order and progress as is
nationalistic aggression, there
Is small wonder that on every
hand-in almost every publica-
ton and from public platforms
In America-we find protests
against discrimination and
pleas for interracial justice. In
diyiduals as well as groups are
arising to promote with greater
energy than ever before, and
with answering purpose, the
ideals and practices of the
oneness Of mankind. Can we
hope for the success of their
endeavors?
In order to suggest an an
swer to this vital question we
wish to relate briefly the pro-
1ect in education for race unity
conducted in an Illinois grade
school, which is typical of
many other such projects in
other educational institutions.
A grade teacher, alarmed over
the race situation in America
and deeply DESTROYS of con-
tributing what she could to-
ward its alienation, asked and
received permission to conduct
a course in racial contributions
to civilization. The pupils were
eight-graders who already had

remarkable range of her singing
for the exacting program set
before her. She endeavored to
breathe into each song the pop
ular charm, melody, and the
wealth of ReYerential traditions
that gave them birth. But it
was the singing of the Star
by James Rogers; THE Lords
Prayer" by Albert Malotte and
MY Lord, What a Morning" by
Burleigh that she tested the full
power of her ability to reflect
the accepted characteristic deli
cacies of songs as intended by a
composer. G. G. Quaker was
accompanies for Una Bell. 1t
was left to him to translate and
transmit with his instrumental
advantage, the temperaments,
the intellectual, and emotional
geniuses deposited in the COM
position of each song. Mr..
Quaker performed his duties in
a graceful style, blowing his way
studiously through the musical
labyrinths of master composers
and brought to a vivid compile
ton the efforts of Una Bell to
have her audience renew its in
terest and devotion in the ser
mons of musical art.

The Red Cross, the war unit
to which every one should
make contribution, is falling
in some Arrears as low as so
per cent below their quotas.
We are not taking the Red
Cross serious enough in view
of the fact that. the Red Cross
has a mission different from
all the war units. 1t does for
our soldiers, what We cannot
do for ourselves.
The time on the drive has
been extended to April IS.
That is almost two weeks. If
you have not made your con-
tribution do it now. If you
have contributed see if you can
spare some more. Make checks
or money orders payable to the

On March 8, 1913, Congress
man John Jennings, Jr., Of
Knoxville, Tenn, made. on the
floor of Congress one of the
ablest addresses that has been
made for many years. on the
abuse of election privilege in
the State of Tennessee. 1t was
one from which the South
could take no comfort on It's
policy of Acknowledgement.
The speech was the outcome
of the mockery of justice in
favor of three defendants who
had been found guilty of cleo
ton frauds, under statute
that carries a penalty Of $1,000,
or one year in Jail or both.
Judge Darr, the Federal Dis
trict Jurist before whom the
case was tried, said he was
strongly impressed with the
idea that it is the duty Of local
communities to take care of
their own elections, clean up
their own houses, and not bring
their troubles to the Federal
Government. These cases come
under laws that were passed
after the war between the
states, principally of course
because of bringing in a great
number of former bondmen
into citizenship, to undertake
to protect their rights. At least
the states have perhaps grant
ed that through the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth am
mendents, which we know
were adopted in a time of hy-
sierra in the country. So do
not feel like following the gov
ernment's recommendation and
sending these men to the pen
itentiary. These men, other
wise under the proof, have good
regulations and good charac-
tiers. While it can be said,
practise does not warrant these
men in violating the law. that
is true as a matter of law. But,
when 1t comes to the punish
ment, those matters should be
considered by the court.
1t is the judgment, of the
court that you serve one year
in some institution properly
designated and pay a fine of
one cent, in lieu Of costs. The
judgment Of the court is sus-
pended and each of you placed
on probation for a term Of two
years.
For a number of years these
Southerners have been going

armed with revolvers and, black
