Dear M .ry:
Yesterday you came to me with
a problem. To you—age 16—the
matter was world-shattering,
say that you are unh .ppy and that

are dissatisfied with everything!
That's your problem and a very re.l
one. too. You want happiness! Well,

Washington's Birthplace
I nqueslionably, Booker T. Washington is
gaining in stature with the years. Today marks
lhe ninety-fifth anniversary of lhe birth of lhe
great educator who founded Tuskegee Institute, in
Alabama. As far as we know, there will be no
special observance on lhe Tuskegee campus, and
no doubt lhe same will hold true for lhe many
Booker T. Washington schools in Oklahoma and
oilier Stales.
However, we are heartily in accord with the
celebration scheduled for today in lhe little town
in Virginia known as
place. The man who founded Tuskegee
born in a humble cabin somewhere on
scene, and today the Posloffice, through
emissary, will install the town's first
in the person of Mrs. Virginia II. Phillips,
native of Alabama and a graduate, of Tuskegee.
koi citizens of the town, the day has added
significance. The town was named for Dr. Wash-
ington six years ago through lhe persistent efforts
of a man named S. J. Phillips, who mav or may
not be related to lhe new postmaster.
In 1918, the town received official
nition when the Postoffice Department opened a
Ibranch station (here. Since then, the branch
station has taken in s.’itl.tHIH in postal receipts,
'lhe amount is a tidy sum, and il implies that
Booker T. Washington Birthplace is destined to
become a national shrine.

of our people as a bad situation t

fact that much of the income flow-
ing into these homes, however
meager, contributes not to their wel-
fare but to their debuchery. It is
too much to expect us to undertake
an intensive training program of
thrift and budgeting for the youth '
and the adult.
And last but not least, our enemies
would be many if we insisted on
parks for our young (even if the
money in the city budget does run
short before it gets to us), and cer-
tainly we would be more unpopular
still if the juvenile courts be pre-
vailed upon to put these careless
parents on probation, for the repeat-
ed offense of neglecting their chil-
dren.
