Juvenile Prejudice
Taught by Adults

NEW YORK = Children lack
prejudice till indoctrinated by
grown-ups, all of the speakers
agreed last week at a luncheon
meeting of the annual institute
-of the Child Study Association of
America at the Hotel Roosevelt.
The conference was attended by
500 parents, teachers, child ply
biologists and social workers. A
reeducation of adults on human
relations was recommended.
"Now, when 1t is almost too
late" commented the Rev. George
B. Ford. rector of Corpus Christi
Catholic Church, 1--WE are finding
it necessary to re-educate adults
who were not given proper train
ing in schools and churches. The
right attitudes in group relations
must be taught children in ele-
mentary schools today"
Declaring that the present gen-
Grafton is ignorant of the real
meaning of democracy. Father
Ford said that the churches had
failed in their responsibilities be-
cause they had not lived up to
their moral principles.
Prejudice in any person is a
kind of illness, the fundamental
basis of which is fear, DR.. Alice
V. Keliher, associate professor,
New York university, emphasized.
She liscted as the causes of this
sickness the fear of economic
insecurity, the fear of being re-
jected because one does not be-
long to the group, the fear that
grows out of isolation and segre-
cation, the fear of ones own i'm
pulses that are released in mob
spirit and riot, and the fear of
loss of dominance of ones own
group.

CATHOLICS MAKE STIRRING
PLEA FOR RACIAL TOLERANCE

ST. LOUIS-"Lord Jesus Christ
We are sorry and ashamed for all
the wrongs that white men have
done to your eolored children.
We are firmly resolved never
again to have any part in them
and to do everything in our
power to prevent them"
This was the remarkable prayer
offered by the student body of
st. Louis university here during
a mass conducted recently by the
Rev. Claude H. Heithaus, S. j.,
assistant professor OF classical
archaeology, who strongly advo-
Gated that the doors of higher
education be opened to Negro
Catholics.
/ Hate This Snobbery
After declaring that truly
Christian Catholic students would
offer no objections to having
Negro students attend the uni

Negro because it springs from the
pride and prejudice which Christ

Freedom of the Mind
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Last Monday when | was going
through the great mass of papers
that come to my desk the first
of each week, / found, in the
Whiteside County News, a mast
head slogan which impressed me
greatly. 1t was so apt that l cut
ii out and stuck it up on my
desk. | thought about it so often
during the week that I'm pass
ing it on to you. Stating the
purpose of this excellent paper.

than Makeup your mind"
If that isn't the function or
both a newspaper and a writer,
then | don't know what it. Not
to tell you what to think. but
to stir up your thoughts.
One of the disadvantages OF
being a free people is that we
have to think things out for our
selves. Our thoughts do not come
to us in cardboard containers,
ready to be defrosted when we
want to use them. OF course,
thinking is hard work. and we
must be. most cautious in the
proper evaluation of what we
hear and read.
If this is too much work, We
could get around it by shutting
out the world and believing what
the loudest speaker tells us. Il is
sure to be dark if you shut your
eyes-and quiet if you plug up
your ears. You notice how the
people who now say, Why didn't
the government tell us of the
danger we were in?" are the very
ones who shut their eyes and
their ears to the forces raging
in the world about them.
We need to wake up our minds
with setting up exercises. We
need to look around us and see
what is really so-not what is
told us. We need to look for the
purpose of bold, definite state
ments, and We need to show
courage enough to say-''What's
your proof"

that track meet promoters demand

competition is keener.
The flying parson" expressed
hope that with few prayers" he'd

son against such performers as Bill
HulSe and Earl Mitchell. This trio
was expected to be in action at the
Millrose A. G. games in New York
next month.
Dodds expressed satisfaction with
his debut Saturday at the Boston
YMCA games where he ran a two
mile handicap field itno the boards
IN 9:43.6.
The time was some so seconds
slower than his best performance
at the distance and was far from
the indoor record of 8:51.1 held by
Rice.
However. Dodds' coach, Jack Ry-
de- pointed to the fact that his
pupils time was an improvement
over the YMCA track record of 9:51

that the track built in balcony
fashion was at least 80 second slow
