?y A Suggestion For Cure
L*S i
rs! 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. Picture the child you mean to
he reach and fit the suggestion lesson
to his age and experience.
jPi Enliven the lesson with a suita*
r<;' ble story, or illustration. Make
rfc- the lunguage suit the situation.?
n. If you do not like our suggesr
Tt. tion, what is yours? Like the
c- editor, you must realize that in a
m | work-a-day world, Negro boys
il. . and girls must make Rood, or
It steal, or starve.
i ne neea is nere, tne neeu is

There may be sonie minor rt;.

one major reason and that is th<
racism of Hitler. We may ca'l rt
by another name, but 111 the ia.

war oi racism, World War i \\u .
i war of imperialism; World v\ a

1 he notion of race superiority is
che fundamental notion of fut.c

The notion of race superiority
[ ajis 11'11 horn with Hitler. It h...
teen flying around and lying around
these many years since tiu
..iica u. cjeo.maii and Lhajnberuiii
or even TfvTii the tunes oi
uwisn ascendancy in Palestine
The veiy notion has been a dream
lul addiction to mankind.* L'nde, .
thhe"Jews the.notion prevailed in
its most rnoccuous form; whin
under Hitler it reached its mos.
pe'rnicious and iniquitous form ami
Tiiaiiitestation. Coder Hitler racsm
because not a philosophy but
~ racket! "I?T?.irv win go down in
oistory as the greatest racketeer
... racism toe world has ever
known. 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. We are fighting
'with all of us and with every"
(Thing; and anyfhing less than this
1 is gi'ving comfort to the enemy. I
I Fro mthe breast-barxed soldiery
dying at the frqnt to the undernourished
child fii his cradle \ve all
^re engaged in the fight.- It is /htensive.
But most serious of all is/this
war rs expensive. Sweat, tears,
! blood! Billions of treasure and
death and suffering untold ^Irn d~
heartaches and crushed hopes?
I these ai e the price of race war
j number one of- Hitler's ^making.
It is well for us- to know' that the
racism at our doors is jyst bad as
I that which set Kurope / o n fire
which hap spread to thh uttermost
harts of the earth! T^e high cost
of racism. 4
