Citing some of the racial barriers

tinued-"We can't try on a dress

1--WE are segregated everywhere,
in schools, churches and transpor-
tation, and have to observe a cur
few.
"School is not compulsory for
Negroes, it's on a first come, first
served basis.
Negro women and their children
line up at 6 in the morning on
opening day of school but hundreds
are turned away"
Mrs. Malie decries the recent
plan of the Nationalist govern
ment, to give grant to schools,
which is expected to have the eff
feet of limiting instruction of Ne
gro children to agricultural and
home-making studies-with none of
the academic subjects included.
Turn Down This Grant
THAT would keep US subservient

There is move on foot now
by some churches to turn down
this grant and raise money to fl
nance classes such as the white
children attend"
One encouraging factor in the
dark picture painted by the former
social worker and teacher is that
South African Negroes are now be-
coming aware of their race. Set
backs such as these are bringing
them together and giving them a
social consciousness.
