Although Arlington was found
guilty last week of racial discrimi-
nation in schools, it is not yet
clear what the county must do to
correct the situation.
In remanding case to Alex
andria District Court, the 4th
Circuit Court of Appeals gave no
direct orders for remedy. In ef-
feet 1t left to Judge Albert v.
Bryan the terms of a decree in
line with its reasoning.
Judge Bryan had decided last
December that Arlington does
not discriminate against Negro
pupils because of their race. He
was reversed by the higher court.
The Arlington School Board
has not determined whether it
will try to take the case to the
Supreme Court.

Although illustrative of the
relatively small growth of the cen

healthy growth of $50 per cent

of the total area food trade. Food
merchants who took in $88,062,-

of 1920, ,OOO,O 900.
In his speech, Mr.. Albright
pointed out that the factors ir
this growth is not a simple ques-
ton of more people eating more
food. The increase in the price OF
food, of course, accounts for ma
jor part of the rise.
On the wholesale level, Mr.. AL
bright said the number of food
establishments in the Nation rose
from $1,000 to $1,000 during the
war years. At the same time
food wholesalers more than tripled
their business volume, growing
from $6 billion in 1899 to $19 bill

How Abolish Racial Discrimination in Dual School System

Education approves plans pre-
pared for construction at the high
school division of Hoffman, Boston
more work will be put under con-
tract. This unit. costing $487 500
will contain a gymnasium large
enough for two basketball courts
and a spectators gallery. a cafe
terra, a large home economics de-
partment, shop space, a health
clinic and Offices. It vii be ready
within a year.
These long-planned projects
will provide some of the facilities
which both Judge Soper and Judge
Bryan said should be provided the
Negro pupils. In his opinion last
December, Judge Bryan took ju-
dicial notice of the plans. He
agreed it is evidence that the
school system had no intent or
policy of racial discrimination. In
the reversal opinion, Judge Soper
made no mention Of the building
plans.
Sharp Differences Noted.
The two opinions differed In an
other major respect. Judge Bryan
noted variations between the white
and colored schools in plant facili-
ties and curriculums. But he con-
sidered some to be favorable to
each race. so that they balanced
out. On the other hand, Judge
Soper cited no advantages for
Negroes.
The Arlington suit is but one
in a series backed by the National
for the Advancement
Of Colored People in a long-range
program for racial improvement.
Suit was filed, for example, in
King George County, Va, to cor
rect inequalities in schools. An
agreement was reached there. In
