Birmingham, Ala.--If there is
any immortality for a man, any to-
morrow for race, nation or the
world of mankind, it is in the chill
dren of today. If man, race,
nation or today's world fails the
children Of today - they fail in
everything.
We talk a great deal about the
starving children Of western Eu-
rope. As we do this we are for the
most part thinking Of physical hun
ger which like a poisonous adder
crawls down the corridors of that
area We want to alleviate that
suffering as much as possible. And
that is as it should be, because the
men of tomorrow are the product
to a great extent of what they as
children eat today. Physically
speaking, n man is what he eats.
But it is most important that we
also never forget that men cannot
live and grow by bread alone.
Children have souls too. Souls
must be fed. Children have minds,
like empty pitchers at full foun-
tains. which. if not filled with that
which makes them want to pro
gress, serve and be served, will be
filled with destructive ideologjes by
those who prey upon the less alert
to further selfish and unscrupulous
purposes.
Millions Of children are starving

morrow. saw this stalking hunger

be likewise.
At this juncture their teacher
came up and suggested that | talk

them that when they look in the
mirror each morning they see the

they see their greatest fortune

| suggested that If they wanted
to know what they will be thirty
years from--the fellow in the look

they will be what they want to now,
because while a man physically
speaking is what he eats. mentally
and spiritually he is what he wants.
Nothing more, nothing less. And
wanting to be somebody is the
foundation upon which they must
stand before they can be helped.
Millions of children in America
are starving for the type of inspira-
ton breathed into boys and girls
at the Sunday night chapel periods
in hundreds Of schools like Hamp-
/ ton, Fisk, Tuskegee and little salt
of the earth institutions like Piney
Woods School, by the presidents
and guest speakers who guide the
students in throwing the ropes of
their imaginations around the stars
and in achieving the will to climb
Jacobs ladder.
In some sections of our
country our children are walled
into, and are having forced on
them, type Of curriculum
which predestines them TO a
status Of flunkies.
The philosophy in such schools
is that it is a waste Of time to
train them to do the things for
which there is no opportunity in a
dual society setup on the horizontal
basis with the Negro starting at
the bottom and limited to where
whites start with the sky as their
limit.
Guidance is how to bypass that
obstacle is the thing for which
millions Of black children in the
deep South are starving. 1t is i'm.

The swift decision Of the United
States Supreme Court in the case
of Mrs. Ada Sipuel Fisher mar
rows the practice of seventeen
Southern States in denying colored
students equal educational Oppor-
tunity.
This decision means that a State,
which maintains a dual school
system, must afford a colored ap-
plicant training that is offered in
the white state-supported institu-
ton but not in the corresponding
colored institution as quickly as it
does for a white applicant.
In that respect it modifies the
decision in the celebrated Lloyd
Gaines case. The Supreme Court
ruled in that case that the State
of Missouri was bound to furnish
Gaines within its borders facilities
for legal education substantially
equal to those which the State af-
forded white persons, whether or
not other colored persons sought
the same opportunity.
Gaines brought his suit in April,
1886, for mandamus to compel his
admission to the University of Mis-
souri, in September, 1886. The case
was not decided by the Supreme
Court until December ~, 1888.
Meanwhile, Gaines had disappeared.
Whether he left St. Louis of his
own volition, leaving no trace of
himself, or met with foul play is
not known to this day.
The State of Missouri, how
ever, resolved the issue by
opening up a makeshift law
school for cOlOred students as
part of Lincoln University.
Mrs. Fisher applied for admis-
sion to the University Of Oklahoma
School of Law January IA, 1916
Her application was rejected the
next day solely for the reason that
she is colored. White students who
applied for admission at the same
time were admitted for the semes.
ter beginning January Is, 1916.
After she had applied to the
District Court of Cleveland County
Oklahoma, for a writ of mandamus
the State Board Of Regents Of
Higher Education met and consid,
cred the question raised by rejec.
ton Of her application for admission
to the University of Oklahoma, but
it took no action on the grounC
that it had no unallocated funds
under its control with which il
could open up a law school fol-
colored persons.
Since then the Oklahoma
Legislature has met but IL also
took no action.
Attorneys for the State Of Ok
Iahoma contended that Mrs. Fisher

Supreme Court Boosts
Equal Opportunity For
Education in South

should have applied to the State
Board of Regents of Higher Edu-
cation for Legal training. The
board would then consider whether
there was a showing that there
would be patronage for a separate
law school and, if so, it would ask
the legislature for money with
which to set up such a school or
establish a course in law at Lang
stem University.
OF course, no such procedure
is outlined for white applicants
for legal training. They simply
apply to the registrar of the
University of Oklahoma and if
they meet the scholastic and
moral requirements they are
admitted.
In arguing the case, Thurgood
Marshall, special counsel for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
struck at the time lag which may
operate to defeat a colored persons
ambition for legal training in
Southern States. He also dashed out
at the difference in treatment &C
corded white and colored applicants
for legal training in Oklahoma.
But what is more significant and
forecasts future litigation involv-
ing equal educational opportunity
was his argument concerning the
doctrine of separate but equal ia
cilities. 1t was his contention that
a mere building, a small faculty
and books do not mean equal ed
ucational opportunity; that pres
tige, tradition, and other intan-
gibles must be considered.
Under the impact of this decision
it becomes apparent that there are
only two courses open to Southern
States: They may abandon their
graduate and professional schools
and thereby disadvantage their
white citizens or they may abolish
separate schools and thereby i'm
prove the educational opportunities
of both their white and colored
citizens.
