Question: Our discussion club
wishes to do something odd and
conduct a street forum. Can this
be done? If so, give us few hints.
"A Reader.
Answer The free discussion OF
public issues, whether on the busy
street of a large city or around the
porch of village store, is an Ame-
rican institution. Our flag is SYM
boil of such a freedom.
In the street discussion, there
may be an improvished speakers
stand. The audience is composed
of those people who happen to
come along and tarry to listen.
Of course there are certain diff
ficulties to overcome, for the speak
er or speakers must compete with
other outside attractions.
The following subjects are suita-
BILE for club discussion:
1. Is the pen mightier than the
sword?
2. Can democracy survive racial
prejudice?
3. Should Negroes vote for the
third party ticket?
4. Should there be set up in this
country system of free medicine! y!

"The Climate of Opinion"
(From The Christian Advocate.)

(From The Christian AdvocaeO
The title of this paragraph is used by the Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights in suggesting the responsibility
of individuals and private agencies in protecting the civil
rights of people, The committee rightly judges that law
and cannot alone rid the nation of the evils of
prejudice and the infringement of individual civil rights
But just rightly believes that they do much es-
peciay in conjunction with private agencies. Together
they create a climate of public opinion which will out
law individual abrdgments of personal freedom, climate
of opinion as free from prejudice as can make it,
therefore, it must be we'll understood that do not sub
scribe the theory that the matter be left entirely to these
agencies with government legal activity at ALL Prl
vae agencies alone cannot succeed But private agencies
make large contributions to achieving the end sought
For example, there is the church. In America and among
Protestants the church is not the clergy although
people have in mind oily the clergy when they speak of the
church.
Nor the church institution apart from the general
population Since than half of American citizens
members of the church, the church u.s. therefore, the
y of Americans Whatever the church does the majority
of Americans do.
This majority status places upon the church majority
responsibility in creating climate of public opinion on
moral quesons and the protection of the civil rights of
individuals certainly much moral legal matter
The home although not organized in America into units
larger than those including and their chill
dren private of prOfOundeSt Importance
atng public opinion is the agency, than other
that teach respect for the rights of others 1t is the
center of all of the deepest emotions where they most
vigorously stirred and where best learn to control them
1t the fountanhead for the continuous flow of tradition
al ideas and IDEALS where attitudes handed through
the generations.
So the committee rightly says that great responsibility
therefore, will always rest upon private organizations and
private individuals who in position to educate and
shape public opinion Of these have mentioned only
tWO the church and the home believing that these two
basic in creating opinion favorable to the elimination
from American life of prejudice which expresses itself in
abridgements of civil rights.
