; ^ The victims of this iijecnlity. the Negro teachers, should
be firmly determined to~ invite the Trttentiorr of the legislature
and the city and eounty. authorities to this transgresj
sion of the law. If they cannot obtain more" satisfaction,
- much more Satisfaction, than they have obtained at present,
then 'they should sue the state. Appeals to work for
their race; to. work for humanity's sake, mis arable "teru
? doneiotT* towh^iis a'fgrcial eciuaTization; subtle attempts at
f?evasions of the law; none of these"should be considered or
accepted as satisfactions. There are no valid reasons why
' Negro teachers in the employ of the state, should DO'
N?TE their services for the benefit of their race or humanit.Vpwhile
the white teachers are getting real taxpayers
dollar^ for their services. Any "tendencies" that do not represent
something really substantial and that are not baseti

r . Musing On Judgment Day
Week in and week out we have'Hnvariably published instructions
for those who uet~ asTclub, socTely and convention"
reporters. Among the first things we have emphasized has
been^the imfcertanee bf- --getting- your account in-promptfy.
il . But at tHia vary moment, on this desk, are three conference
and convention reports for September and one for August.
r'Thoge kindgof news stories have very little sales value anyway
to a circulation manager and to publish them of events
two months olcT destroys what little value they might, have.
,WTien we ask these reporters, about their tardiness they
try to turfy on all thfe c J arms at their dis; \ sal and say they
just forgot it. Well, if .lliey happen to forget what time the
Gates are to be open on Judgment Day, they are going to
bfejeft outside. v ~ ? - ?=^=
