Whatever .1 s the cause, cure a'_ must lit. applied! To that end, ?. j *"m' "rt<'t' :| '-ii'/'-'vstioii: It e_ I ,s. that the present training given 5e Idn Negro schools be supplemented jl with, 'essons directed at pvcparimr _ij the child for the day when he will erj t ii breed winne1'. We are sorry that such training t^kes years, tit hut God knows it will be worth it ? whenever it is gotten if it will save us from more young women of whom nine out of ten prove x unfit. be We would have every school q* room from - the?third grade up, have one lesson hour of each week be t? precept and example in ef job getting and holding. The ai third grade is none f?? soon, beot ause it is our observation that tlo tht. Negro boy or girl who starts "jarly being useful and provident _ makes, good! Let .these lessons be given in all the grades, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and on thru 13 high school. In the high ; school" our business men and women of experience could be brought in as lecturers. Contests could be conducted in work and business, like P thu competition among young 2 farmers of the 4-H clubs. A decade of this sort of efforts would save us from having a worker appear on the job so unkempt and j untidy that her boss has her sent a(" home. To the end that this training ^ start quickly, THE CALL inVites . you, whoever you are. teacher, ^ preacher, businessman or into* , ested person, to suggest one or ,p more leir!rorr?""to tstr^raiight tnorrre(j schools. It?is-our habit to talk Id of race advancement. Here is a u. chance to put wheels under it. n.

But there are little Hit iers in every land and while they are not as powerful they are just as iniquitous and j-st as danger bus to the good ot mankind. What about this World War o racism? It is very extensive. Ii rs safe to say that hereafter evei r.s at present, all wars Will bi world wars. There is no nation sale from the hazards and handi- ' caps and discomforts of war. Even than the mighty nations nks break thejr backs, while their marts also break, beneath the , neavy burdens war is laying upon j .he hapless sons of men. Even it ' .?'e longed as did the scared writer 1 or "wimrs of a dove to fly away | vnd be at rest"; where would we | i> io escape the rigors ami wrecks | of war? Tiits war is Hitler's war of rac- ' ism and the united nations are defending themselves against Hitj lerism. The defense in the nature I of thinirs has to bn extensive Thi> I war is extremely intensive. Jusi as all future wars are going to be world wars so all future ware are going to be allout wars. Today we are lighting an all-out war and one of the great difficulties rs get ting the people to realize that it is in all-out war.
