J pectod hy a Necro who face's trial on char go o' Ij, havisg done anything where-a white, person is in- fj. volved. This is due of course to the fact that con Seiousness of kind among the whites plays an all in iy pi rtant if unconscious part. Usually the Negr?.r rt defendant, and perhaps a few half st-nred,. witnesses hie the nl.v Negroes in court. The judg'el is whit*. Theveniremen are white. The prosecuting atlo. p ney is white, and usually his court-appointed d*. fense lawyer is white;, and of course most of th, T spectators tiro white.

In probable a| , no other field would such fallacious reasoning be tol il rated as'in the field of education.

Jj, Our so-called higher education not only has tin ti difficulty of being hard.to secure, but once secure*. 1 it often temperamentally.-unfits tin*--*- who secure* i p for the more common tasks t/f life. Too often who* hohhsrs?of?diplomas?sunl?degrees are thwarted' h i; their attempt-to land something "real good", they ti spurn (he lowlier labors which might at least s^v their pride and tiid in their survival. It has com ti about that there is a small host of aspirants-for tin p* r tro^t pn^riiions. who absolutely refuse to take tin i T second best. The educational system of the. NVrjTo es is'.built upon two major fallacies, one is, Thai M the Negro is a l'ull-fled^ed citizen of tiiis country hi with aeceSs of every opportunity that this countrj "Us atfdrds. Stripped of our pride and fair hope, se .and ambitions we ifre fniced 10 face the ugh?trn that this is hot true!

There is nothing to pros, that in the near or remote future the dominant w1*;.. man is going to do any 'such thing! Reduced tact, to its last analysis, the educational machinery 01 ^ the Negro must address itself to satisfying cortain demands of the Negro race as there is no demand nn^the part of the whiter for the Higher education the Negro is pursuing. In short Negroes i.uist -st serve Negroes if anybody; the few exceptions to 1": this only prove the rule. A few Negro professionals serye whites; but thT Negro profegsTOlials ~!tT must live from the patronage of Negroes if m- th 'eon the> live at all. If these Negroes intellectuals .?1 nipst live by Negroes and for Negroes why is it our a" educational institutions rrudce 110 provisions for the improvement of the supporting Negro masses: H with the masses-just as definitely as. the "white >ui man-made" larger economic opportunities hits brok- ?) en with the Negro Intellectuals and the?Negro -th .elite. The ferriedy for this situation can and must he supplied by the dominant "white man; but it must Di ho succored hv the Negroes themselves.
