in the first game played. To all
those progressive citizens who
last Saturday signed a petition
directed to the Medford Board
Of Aldermen we are pleased to
announce that the petition was
directed in ample time to AL
derman James J Macdonald,
president of the Board. This, of
course, is only he beginning.
This first step calls for a re3o-
luton by the city itself to be
placed on record as opposing
any and all sorts of inequali-
ties regarding colored teach
erS in Medford schools. Under
present conditions we believe
such an outright declaration is
in order at this time. Once
the city governing officials
have expressed thelr pIedged
policy we shall next exact SIM
liar statements from the
School Committee elected by
the voters) and force the supt
of Schools to do likewise, even
if we must appeal to the State
heads. In this campaign we
may expect some opposition,
misunderstanding and political
evasion. We may have to al
ter our program. In any event,
regardless of obstacles, we shall
win this objective. To all who
signed the first petition, our
thanks and congratulations.
