URGES MORE CARE . FOR NEGRO CHILDREN New York City— (By the A. N. P.) — Urgent need for more adequate institu tional facilities for Negro children is pointed out in the annual report of Gen eral Manager Ernest K. Coulter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. “The growth of the colored population in New York City in the last ten years has been about 75,000,” he says. “There has been practically no increased provi sion of institutions for colored children needing care, despite this phenomenal growth. Further delay in meeting this problem for this large population which now forms an important part of our community cannot but continue to bring increasingly serious results.” RELEASE SUSPECTS IN ALLEGED ATTACK Little Rock, Ark.—(By the A. N. PA — Five bell boys, colored, taken into cus tody by the police when a Mrs. Laura Norton, white, a guest in the Hotel Main, complained that she had been attacked by two of them, were released when the victim failed to identify either. Police discredited her story and intimated that she was suffering from a weak mind. Happily, the innocence of the bell boys was established, before the customary mob got into action, but those were some frightened boys. COLORED AMERICAN MUST BE GIVEN HIS FULL RIGHTS AS CITIZEN (Continued From Page One.) cation. It is rank injustice for any community to do otherwise. Not only is it rank Injustice to the colored Americans but it is rank injusitce to the United States, for the children of today are the country of tomorrow. Anyone who denies the children the chance to get a good education is striking directly at the interests of the entire country. In the interest of my children, I demand that all children be given a fair chance. “I have heard time and again short sighted Southerners maintain that the Southern Negroes are not educated enough to exercise the franchise in telligently and in the same breath state that they did not believe in spending money on schools for colored people. They did not seem to realize that their injustice in refusing to pro vide schools was responsible for the condition of which they complained They were perfectly willing to see the Negroes called upon to pay taxes and defend the country in time of war bu* they denied them the vote and schools. They were willing to see them bear the burden of citizenship but would deny them the privileges. “We demand for all American citi zens full governmental rights anil full opportunities for development. I will fight wdth every ounce of strength that I have for the rights of my colored American fellow citizens, but it is their responsibility when they get these rights to employ them. “They have done excellently, as any one who scans the record of the last 70 years must admit. Their advance in commerce and induhtry is evident in any of our great cities. Their work has not been confined to gainful oc cupation. There are educators like Booker W'ashington; soldiers like Colonel Young; poH# like Dunbar and Johnson; historians like Woodson: singers like Roland Hayes. I could give a hundred more names, many of them men whom I am happy to call mv friends. They took their part in the war. We served together as com rades in France. Many of them lie buried there with my brother. "This development must continue and broaden. At this time, I feel one of our needs is more sound, able lead ership for colored men by colored men. It Is for this reason I am happy to be a member of the Spingam medal committee, for I feel that by recog nizing leadership, you encourage it. "We are Americans now and noth ing else and our first duty Ls to this country. Our loyalty does not lie first either to your African ancestors or to my Dutch ancestors. We wish al' men wrell wherever they may live in the world, but primarily our service anti our duty lies here in our own country. We demand for all colored Americans the full opportunity to de velop themselves and we. pledge to this country our undivided and un changeable loyalty and devotion." REFINISHED!
