got busy trying to find hole to hide their
heads.
The NAACP was denounced as radical,
and "it doesn't represent the thinking peo-
pie" The teachers and leaders began tell
ing the officials how we'll they we're get
ting along, and how they thought the school
board was doing every thing it could to
eoualize educational facilities.
II is no more than natural for the
teacher who knows he is insufficient to
fight against any changes that will bring
about progress, but 1t is inconeeivable for
Negro leaders in the professional field to
attempt to block progress.
All we have to say is that the die is cast
and the fight is on, and no inefficient school
teachers and neither the Uncle Tom" Ne
gro leaders are going to be able to block
the NAACP's program to prevent the at
tack on segregation in the public school
system. So If you are afraid, go find you a
hole and do the ostrich act.

but she opines readily that the advent has
wrecked Negro baseball and goes on TO
say, ut is sin and a shame that Negro
baseball has been wrecked This would seem
to add up to saying, 1T shouldn't have
happened" But it has happened, and the
thing for Mrs. Manley to do, it seems would
be to see just how she as a baseball woman,
can work her way into the new situation
Just as the Fisher people retooled and
moved into another phase of the body-mak-
ing business, Negro baseball people must
act similarly Obviously, any change will
mean a loss to some act, but there is no rea-
son why the more enterprising and aggres-
sive should not profit by the change. Just
recently the St. Louis Browns changed
hands. Maybe the next step for Negro base
ball people is to join syndcates and move
into the ownership class in the big leagues.
Younger men might attend umpirng schools
and then make fight for jobs with the
"men in blue" New inventions, along with
economic and social progress, have their
advantages. but they also offer new oppor-
tunites. We must learn to stop crying.

10 Cicero's Shame

Outrages arising from racial feeling
are not limited to any one part of the United
States, although the pattern has differed IN
the past.

typified by the lynchng mob-a short

of the fair trial guaranteed by the Bill OF

were six thousand miles away. But when
