the Introductory Sociology clasc which am to
teach for one night per week back at Wayne uni,
versity where ! once a regular. Back in
those days had it easy, teaching other people
about social problems instead Of trying in my
own little way to help solve them. But we're
getting of the subject
Some Of the purposes in using the illustration Of
the Wolf Children in such a class, you have UNI
doubtedly guessed. The intention was to blast
the notions of many students who think that men
are born with a vast combination of complex feel
ings and ways of behavior. For many do not
realize that human feelings and action have to be
learned by the infant after birth-and learned
from other people who already know-and who
because they are big and strong. and needed, can
compel the plastic and teachable stuff that is a
baby, to generally make their own ways part of
OF his own Receiving set Of speech organs from
heredity is for example, useless without an en-
vironment that adds language to them.
Until beginning students of society realize the
fundamental influence exerted upon person by
the thinking and behavior of other persons, they
will learn little. How, for example, could they
understand mans desires to provide his family
with home according to modern human stand
ards in a wholesome environment, instead OF a
shack in slum? How could they interpret any
of mans economic. political or family behavior?
II they believe that men receive their human
characteristics from heridity rather than from
association with others-in the same way that
birds and wild animals inherit complex instructive
ways to care for their needs without teaching-if
students believe that of men, they might as well
sit down and do nothing.
For into modern sociology, as this column views
il, is creeping new point of view. The old teach
ings were to the effect that man could only sit
helplessy by while watching his fellows suffer in
the stream of human behavior and get tangled
up all sorts of problems. He could do nothing
to direct social change. Man, it was believed,
could neither be taught new ways nor be COM
PEELED to discard the old. Trying to do so either
through education or legislation was supposed to
be waste of effort If men, for example, held
harmful prejudices-well, they held them. And
that was that!
But such a stagnating hands-of policy is losing
ground. One reason, no doubt, is the demand of
modern day living that scientists, like other
people. must justify themselves the basis of
their practical utility to human needs.

The First Lady Said
Mrs Roosevelt who undoubtedly has fought
harder for the rights Of Negroes than any other
person in this country in the last decade. wrote
letter TO a female Alabaman in which she stated,
among other things, that she had never pumped
for racial equality. But she also stated in this
country we are completely free TO choose
companions and one has any right TO inter-
fere." Not only was her statement both honest
and literal but il is the kind of statement pre-
ponderant number Of colored persons would have
made. Moreover Mrs. Roosevelt who numbers
Negroes among her personal friends and who
associates with them publicly and privately, has
said the same thing often before

The real significance OF this action is one that
should call forth the most sustained protests from
Negro citizens and all others interested in real
democracy. That significance lies in the postwar
pattern being set. II has become hackneyed to
ask rs this what we are fighting for?' but the
question fits in here and in all other postwar
plans Is the Negro TO be thrust back into the
same treatment he experienced before the Great

This applies with particular
force in our relations to Negroes.
It is inconceivable that whites
should ever do full justice to Ne

images Of them which they have
held in their minds. These images
have wrought immeasurable harm.
The image OF the Negro as a
kind of clown. with comic turns Of
speech and ludicrous behavior. has
robbed him Of dignity The images
OF him as lazy. childishly depend

from having confidence in him;
