Letters to The Voice
... I thank you for the extra
& copies of “The Voice.” I am
sending money along to pa^ for
same. “The Voice” is a wonder
ful paper, one of which I am in
deed proud.. . It is.-a paper that
could be and would be an in
spiration to any people. I think
two dollars a year is a small sum
for such a wonderful paper and
every thinking Negro in the state
of Nebraska should subscribe
without the least hesitation...

DEMOCRACY IN EDUCATION
I am a student on the city
campus and wish to express my
appreciation of the fine demo
i ratic sprit found in my classes
it d on the campus.
i am the only colored student
in any of my classes and there is
a friendly attitude shown me at
all times by students and instruc
tors. Perhaps, there are preju
dices and some snobbery but that
^ is also present within our own
small group and I try to forget
these few petty grievances and
go “half way” toward friendli
ness. I also try, to the best of my
ability, to watch my personal ap
pearance and especially my Eng
lish at all times.
Our privileges in the Union are,
to the best of my knowledge, un
limited. Sometimes, I feel that
we are slightly inclined to “bunch
up” too much. I wonder if when
in the Union we couldn’t spread
out a little. I notice by the Voice
that two of our students were
present at a party given at the
home of Dean and Mrs. Henzlik.
This shows an appreciation of
our opportunities. We must train
ourselves to be at home with all
groups, regardless of age, race,
religion or other differences. It
isn’t always easy but we must do
it if we are to spread this idea of
democracy. I am sorry to say
that we are not as friendly
toward each other as we should
be. A friendly “good morning”
requires little effort on our part
'and helps to make that morning
really “good.”
Let’s get together students and
have a good time while we are

Just a student.
I have enjoyed every issue of
the “Voice” and pledge my sup
port toward making it a bigger
and better paper.
You have assisted greatly in
the promotion of religious activi
ties as well as general items of
interest.
I shall endeavor to get sub
scriptions to help the paper grow.
Accept my congratulations on
a much needed project.

j river at Jeffersonville, Ind., has
ambitious plans to build a city.
The plans call for 2,800 homes and
business houses on lots which

George Barker, a white man from
Minneapolis who came to Louis
