SPYING ON REDS | to the ruling Lag OUR DAILY FALL EKNS: No one can dehy that the rules of the unfversity;. written and enforced on a group of colored men and wom- en by a handful of .white business men, are ridiculously rigid. Students may not gather in groups of more than three, excepting for classes. No man student may even speak to any girl student unless an older person is near to listen to the conversation. Negro Sche Exploited. No one can deny ‘that these rules alone would bring on rebellion in any student ‘gronp. “But “the primary cause for the revolt’ at’ Fisk lies deeper. How can a handful of people impose upon a large student body rules calculated so xeduce.men and women to tered, Say tatus of dis- obedient children, and of very inferior children at that? . Negro schools and universities have long been a happy hunting-ground for white business men seeking, thru the medium of so-called higher education, to “teach the Negro his proper place” and to make him, either a docile wage-worker or else a missionary of the petty-bourgeoisie to drive from the minds of his own raée all thots of social rebellfon.’\They have been able to do this by ‘tied#s of Iarge gifts of money to’ Négi6*#dWéational insti. tutions, thru which they automatical- ly receive the-privilege-of appointing the school one or more trusteés‘of*their own turn of mind. sort O* No Inter-Ra larmony.

This seeming interracial harmony means nothing, All teachers must meet with the approval of a group of white aristocrats, out of whose pockets the money for the schools is taken. *’” The man against whom most ofthe fury of the colored students is at-pres- ent directed is Fayette McKenzie, the white president of the university McKenzie has never made. any secret of his desire-to please the southern aristocracy..by keeping the Negro students.in his, charge strictly segre- gated and under iron-clad rules of conduct. He has created in the school an elaborate detective system, which spies out and reports students and in- structors *who show the slightest sympathy with more advaneed ideas. He has made it a strict rule that.no colored speakers may appear before ‘the student ‘body. It was the at- tempt to enforce this rule tht started the rebellion in the oldest class five months ego. McKenzie ‘Negro Hater. McKenzie is a prominent member of the “Commercial Club” of Nash- ville, an association of the white business aristocracy of the city. The president of Fisk university voted with the club when last year it went on record against a theater! company m the city which admitted Negroes to the front entrancé, instead of forcing’ them to use a back door, Whole-heartedly behind the policy of the white president in his efforts to keep Fisk university a servile institu- tion, stand the black and white busi- ness men of the board of trustees Paul Cravath, an attorney for Mor. gan interests and one 02 New York’s biggest corporation lawyers, is the president of this board.

New York Public School Teachers Get’ Wage Increase “* ABBANY,"N.°Y?*April 1—The N. Y. legislature passed the Kleinfeld-Ric- ca Teachers’ salary bill sponsored by the joint salary’ committee of the teacher's’ associations of New York City, with which the Teachers’ Union is affiliated. The campaign was car- ried on in a half-hearted fashion, the bill appeared certain of being strang- led in committee, and then was passed unanimously in what appeared to be an effort of the republican legislature to embiarass Governor Alfred B. Smith, “the of the teachers.” When called apom in thé dast days of the ses- sion, the rank and file of the teachers responded by sending. thousands of telegrams {6 the legislatofs at Albany The press to date has preserved a conspiracy of silence. The teachers as a whole consider the provisions of the bill as generous.
