There is only one way to reach the
goal
With the love of God in your soul
With the love of God both young
and old
You will have no doubt to reach
the goal.
We have to obey the program of
Christ
1t is recorded of Gods word as we'll
Those who believe not in Christ
Their souls are doom to hell.
Why would a man young or old
Live here in sin and loose their
soul,
| will tell you the reason why, you
Allow the devil to control.
The devil tells you to have a good
time
And how to get out of Jail
But he never comes to get you out
He fools you everytime.
Don't allow the devil to fool you in
And expect for the Lord to get
you out.
The Lord gives me a message for
you,
And to tell you what it is all about.
When your mother raise and train
you
The way for you to go, the devil
Will stop and tell you, Don't go
That way no more .
1t shines like rubbed up brass
1t will turn soon or later
And the way the devil tells you
to go
1t is a downward road to your fate.
This warning comes from God on
high
He inspires me what to write
He tell the people how to live,
And stay out of the devils fight.
Be husband for your wife
And a wife for your husband as
well
Stop disgracing the human race
In these joints with all of this
hell.

Education: Democracy's Tool
CFrom The Los Angeles SentineD

Various weeks are celebrated during the SO weeks
of every year Sometimes two three wedged into
one Some have no apparent reason for being; others
serve definite purpose. One such week currently be-
ing observed is American Education Week.
Education and it's role in the continued growth of
great nation deserves being stressed each day. Yet, it
is fitting that week be set aside for special recognition
of the Importance of preparing odays children for lead
ership in omorrows world of complex problems and de-
ciSionS.
Aware of this, such groups the United States
Office of Education the American Legion the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers and the National Edu
proprae observances throughout the country Nov 9th
through Nov. 18th.
Emphasis the Importance of school visitation of
the part of parents not only this week but in the weeks
to follow brings likewise to thoughts of careers for
tomorrows citizens The purpose of all educational
deavor is the maintenance of way of life and the bet
torment of the welfare efficiency and economy of
munlty, state, or nation.
Career-minded youth will find it by no means un-
wise to consider the business field, which, among
Negroes, has been too narrowly explored.
No doubt officials of the 5Oyearold National Negro
Business league which recently closed it's 52nd annual
convention would attest to the richness of the business
field. The national office is at 1927 18th street. N w.,
Washington 9, D. c. Public information workers would

Meanwhile, as the nation observes it's 32nd Ameri-
Education Week, let us help our young people plan
for successful and Well-rounded adulthood.

there has been progress toward racial

although for the past six years it
has made it's library available to
colored lawyers for a fee. Only last
week, on the other hand, the District
Optometric Society admitted its first
Negro to membership. The Metro
politan chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects has had colored
members since 1916.
In Washington, as elsewhere, most
social and private clubs operate on
a segregated basis. But the year 1852
has brought a special and temporary
variety of club to the District-the
political CLUB for work in connection
with the national election. Employ
ment officials say that this year the
call for colored stenographers and
clerical help has been louder than in
previous presidential years.
This was particularly true during
the primary campaigns. when there
we're many separate clubs. Today,

The Evidence

John B. Duncan is president of the
Federation of Civic Associations,
Negro organization. "As I look back
over the last 10 years." he says, 1892
marked the beginning of new era
with respect to indignation generally.
During the war, there was increased
need for workers in both Government
and private industry. Negroes
began to be hired in positions they
had never before occupied. The pic
ture began to brighten"
The picture still has its ugly spots,
Mr.. Duncan feels. He complains spe-
officially about continued segregation
in public recreation, education and
housing. But" he says, conditions
have steadily become better and
better"
There has been no single cause for
the lettering of conditions for the
Negro in Washington. Some of the
progress has resulted from court de-
cisions and Federal edicts upholding
colored citizens in the exercise of
their rights; some, from overt group
pressure applied against the status
quo. Most of it, however, seems to
have come about through a natural
process of social evolution. The COM
munity, lowering one time-honored
barrier. has found the experience sal
utary and has proceeded to lower an
other. And so progress had gained
momentum, moving in widening
circles through the whole social Struc-
ture.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-10-19

in this period inevitably has pro-
duced unusual tensions. The tempo
of change, and the tension, continue
still to increase.
A second fact of the matter, there
fore. is that the racial problem
Washington is being criticized for not
sClving is difficult one, and its diff
Guilty has been steadily aggravated in
recent years. It has been aggravated,
net by the stubbornness of the local
citizenry, but by circumstances en-
tirely beyond their control.
Big Foct
But there is yet another fact of
the matter-perhapS the most i'm
portant of the lot, though it is rarely
mentioned. This is the fact that
Washington, for all the difficulty OF
its situation, has been progressing
rapidly of late in the directions of
racial equality. With holier than
thou vituperation raining upon them
for their failure to solve their prob
lem-wlth everything conSpiring to
make the problem harder to solve
the people of the District have been
taking sure strides away from the
old injustice of segregation.
All Of them know they nave long
way to go. Not all of them yet are
agreed how far they should go. But
that they are going, there can be
no doubt at all. In the last ten years
or so, for every shameful incident
that has made national news of
Washington's failure in the field of
racial adjustment, there has been a
solid advance that has not made
such news. And yet the forward steps
so far outdistance the slips that the
latter viewed in prospective, fade to
insignificance.
Let us examine some of the evil
dence of progress. They constitute q
record of which any community,
similarly situated, could well be
proud.

Restaurants and Hotels

Eighty years ago, when the Dis
trlct had a form of local suffrage,
it banned racial discrimination in
Washington restaurants. Fifty years
ago that ban was lost" in a codifica-
ton of local laws. -Four years ago,
however, question was raised as to
whether the original ban might not
still be effective.
Armed with that question and an
affirmative answer from seven law
yers, bi-racial committee was
formed in 1949. 1t had an imposing
name: The Co-ordinating Committee
for the Enforcement of the District
of Columbia Anti Discrimination
Laws. Its chairman was the Mrs.
Terrell mentioned above, an 89-year-
old former school teacher and a char
ter member of the National" ASsoci-
alton for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The celebrated Thompsons Res
taurant case was result of this COM
mittee's activities. In May of last
year, the Municipal Court of Appeals
ruled, in connection with this case,
that the ancient ban on segregation
in District restaurants was indeed
still in force. The case was carried
last January to the United States
Court of Appeals, which has yet to
hand down a decision.
In the meantime, however, Mrs.
Terrells committee has pressed its
efforts to induce District restaurants
to open for service on a non-segre-
ACTED basis. 1t now lists 81 WASH
ington eating places which serve
Negroes without discrimination. To-
day, according to the committee,
Negroes are served at the lunch
counters of every 5-and-10 cent
store in Washington-and at the
lunch counters, tearooms and cafe
terias of every department store on
Seventh street NV.
AS to hotels. progress has been less
dramatic. The city's major white
hotels still proceed on the assump-
ton that a majority of their patrons
favor a segregation policy. They
have, however, unbent so far as to
accept Negro guests who are attend
ing predominately white conventions,
dinners and so on. That, at least,
represents a crack in the dixie.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-10-19

Last month. for the first time in its
history. the society admitted five Ne
gro physicians to membership. The
manner in which this step was taken
is typical Of the change in attitude
toward race relations which the Dis
trict has been experiencing.
It became obvious last year that
the society's policy on segregation,
which had been a matter of practice
rather than rule, was ripe for change.
Younger members of the group par
ticularly favored a more liberal
policy. In March Of this year, by
which time five Negro physicians had
filed application for membership, the
segregation issue was put to q deci-
Sive vote. It was resolved that no
qualified physician applying for
membership in the Society shall be
denied membership because of race.
creed or color"
Six months later, as a result Of
this mandate from the membership,
the applications of the colored doc
tors were approved. AS next step,
the five plan to seek visiting or staff
privileges in the white hospitals of
Washington. Ereedmen's is the only
hospital to which they now can send
patients and continue to attend
them.
The decision as to whether these
Negro physicians are to be accepted
in white hospitals will be made by
the directing boards or medical stats
of the hospitals involved. Hospital
officials say that in the future Negro
physicians undoubtedly will practice
in white hospitals. But. they add,
this will take time. They point out
that many white doctors are turned
down by hospitals each year because
of the large number of applicants.
Negro doctors will have to take their
turn.
Hospital boards, meanwhile, are
wondering whether the admission of
Negro physicians to their stats will
cause loss of white patients, or
whether white physicians will object
to working with Negro colleagues.
On the latter score, recent experience
at Gallinger Municipal Hospital is re-
assuring. Howard University has a
training program at Gallinger for it's
colored medical students in pedi-
atrics. The Negro intern or resident
lives with the white intern or resi-
dent When this program was in
augurated, grave fears were expressed
as to what it's effects might be. None
Of these fears has been realized; on
the contrary, the program has proved
a success.
Negro advances in the nursing pro-
fession have been equally rapid. Last
year the Nurses Association of the
District began admitting colored
members. There now are some 240
colored graduate nurses in the as
ISOLATION. Most Of them are in serv-
ice at Freedmen's Hospital, although
on occasion they have tended white
patients in white hospitals as well.
