Money In The Black Life In The Red

we'll as Negro persons and the alleged mis-
treatment could have been encountered by
white inmates.
Even though the inmates of the county
farm have proved themselves a menace to or
ganized society and for their own reformation
and for the protection of the rest of the COM
munity have to encounter certain amount
of loss of freedom as well as a certain amount
of Constraint to work and essential discipline
it is nevertheless true that our society still
holds to its humane instincts and regards even
the convicted inmate serving out a sentence
is entitled to a modicum of sympathy and
consideration.
Therefore, while the public appauds the
operation of that or any other institution so
that it is in the black financially, it still rec
ognzes the obligation of the management of
the institution to operate in such a manner
that it is also in the black from the stand
point of moral and humane considerations
We think we are safe in saying that regard
less of the color of the persons involved, the
public does not want money saved by any
procedure which is not considerate of welfare
health. and life We think that the public
would prefer to spend money and save life
rather than to spend life and save money.
Until there has been a thorough inveSti-
cation of the causes and manner of death of
James Anderson, there are many who will feel
that there is grave danger that the county
farm may be operating in the red so far as
the welfare and life of its inmates are con-
cerned.

may we'll remain a pious declaration,
But breaking down the ugly wall OF seq

there are Just not enough teachers and schools

travel many miles. Some schools have had to
resort to shifts. Thousands of teachers leave
their profession because of inadequate pay.
These are handicaps that Negro and white

of a lack of foresight on our part Providing

When the Wagner Labor Relations ACT

Court, the L. S was on the threshold OF
revolution The worker at last became an IN

that equality in education IS a constitutional
