VOL-- * ^L=_u ' ? ? W -=^= : "? %,~X \ DOU13 <*, Dr.' Carter \Vocdson, in a recent release, advises the Negro to think bt,ack. This= is- possible only t>o a limited degree. The Negro' is- large- " ly confined by the walls of his racial prison house. His mind is inevitably distriiuted between the in-_ ner and outer circle- An cjd pro-. -1 ->vfcrb says that a double niirided man is linkable in all* his ways. Every minority group labors under handi' cap of this disadvantage. In our cosmopolitan " population, we haye three fairly well defined minority groups?the Catholics, the .Tew nftd__ the Negro. The Ku? KIux Klanavers that no one of them can, hsL American citizens, in the one hundred percent meaning of that term. The Negro is by far the nnd proscribed, cf these three. Ho alone is*.-shunted and set aside in iim-ernw cars, separate schools and sc-gregat ed residential and social areas. Wherever the proscribed group?has a peculiar culture at variance with that of the "general body social, where racial arrogance sets up a color bar, the despised and repectv oed element is, thrown back 'upon itself for such consolation of hope or , resolution of despair, as may be fens* ible. A Catholic can hardly be elected 'President of the United States unless his- Catholicism is diluted to the, point - of n'Oglibilify. ^Tho vast. Pxo-_ =v? tostnnt majority rose up in protest agrrnst-the candidacy of A1 Smith, on the ground that his^ allegiance would be 'divided between the church and state. The Jew can hardly be ?"?ardent adt ut at? ol FTTs religious traditions and be accepted ^in full measure, as an American. He may conceal his Semitism and he accepted as an American, hut then only with reservations. On the twenty second of February the voice of Solomon Bloom, a Jew, was heard on the air extolling the religious demotion of Ggorge Washingtn," ~rh" the little church which he founded at Powhic, Virginia, But hp- mmtvmillTons of gentile Afericamrfchought cf the artificiality of a -V6ice alien in tradition and-culture-to1 those~of~ the extolled Father of his Country? Bergenn, the philosopher, visited America, not as Jr-*tew, hut as a philosopher, and was received abd accepted as such. Gn the other hand when I first saw and heard< Albert Einstein, he ..came to our short"5, ""fi? as?the world's most famous" mathematician and physicist, hut as a delegate to the Zionist Movontent. . 1--once heaid Ratrtrt" Wise say that ?_ __no^_Jew- could he made?president of" an American- college. His; Semitic bias effectively forlrids. ^Unlike the. Catholic "and the Jew, the Negro is bound to the body of his-race frcm * n ; wunn inure is Tin possiDlG release, v. He is anxious to.be as good an Amerfcan as circumstances will permit him to be. But in whateer sphere ho may aspire, he is slapped ^ Major Moton of Tuske* gee Wins Award of 18th Spingarn Medal Kew.

This is eaualh true in politics, business, oducatioi and religion,- -The1- bepuzzled aspi-rant is thus thrown hack on himsel by the expulsive power of tare pre jlid ice. He therefore must think blacl under law of social and psychology cal necessity. Hue he nuist not- allow himself t< tiling altogether black. He lives ii pneumbra of a white World. But fo the central.light, the pneumbra wouh -lum?mio crass darkness, "lie nyis preserve a just balance between th< white andr^hc -black- woild. fine' o these days we will develop an edu rational statesmanship Which wil recognize this principle.?Up to now the Negro's .(ideational trend has beei in the direction of whiteness to tin iliHfi'un tV.o( V.- J vum K or rrtirs L'UfHU LU (10SJ)1S< Tiiniself. There is no 'neater eon' rfrnvnatiwni?than?this.?Tit!? Ts r7 peeially true of those brought up ex clusively under white tutelage.

In so far its *tli? eXact__ sciences are. concerned thi: could not and should not be otherwisi 'But where it comes to the social sci onces and their interpretation ant application to- practical life t ela i i' if the case is t'lU- different. The bin on the limlf is a poor, adviser of tin fish under the water. Booker Wash ingtonjs the only, Negro .educate: who discioscl any nvirl-nrl .init.in^n ty. . lift sought to adopt only as muc! of the Jvhite man's curriculum as wai necessary to meet thje Requirements but always with a \yietC lo adapting them to the needs and necessities o his constituency. Tie fully recogniz ed that this need was a constantly expanding, one. Had lie lived to worl Ollt thf> PiimnlnUnn ---- - r'vviun yj x iujs pxu^rraii and had nut tSe World War fius trated all educational procedure, fhi down to history a.s the greatest A merienn educator of his time. _Siuti< -thp- wair aTl of .our educational en deavor is rather in ,the nature of bus} work lather than a stimulus toward; some definitely stated ideal. Rut our - Negro schools 'are in the nVosl desperate predicament of thenv all Aside From preparing a few men women?for job.-.; our pedagogy i: fiounderintr on a shoreless sea with out chart or compass. It is prepar ing men ..and " wo.fue?__to -take -jobs but not to wake them. AiuLthat to< at a time when there are fewer job: To take. It is lacking in' stimulacv; motive and dynamic power. Bui whatever' this ultimate pedagogy may turn out to be, the Negro win is to lea(l public thought and opinioi must think both white and black, an< must observe a just balance and pi o portion between the two.
