RALFIOH Out of the most |
important decisions made by t-'ie i
Raleigh Citizens Committee miri'i j
its monthly meeting Jas:t Tuesday i
evening, June 9 was to ask the I
superintendent of schools here and !
the Raleigh Seoul Board, to effect
lull equalization in training' 'be
tween the Negro and white iu-;h
schools
loi manv years, the white high !
schools here, particularly tie Need
-1 urn Bronphton School, have of
fered courses* both academic and
vocational, not offered in the Ne
gro Hugh school Many courses,
particularly trades, skills and han
diwork, available for dip full lour
year period at the white sctv -J.s
are only uttered one semester or
one year in the Negro school, j
The result of t-.tis is that the white ;
youth who has had the advantage '
ot a full four year course in a |
particular trade or craft is, in j
many instances, prepared to earn j
a iiveliood from the special' train- j
ing he h3S received m'high school j
A special effort will be made j
to impress the Raleigh school offi
cials with the need for a full
tone, full scale training program
in the John vv. /.agon s**no»ol
siated to open next fall. It is felt i
by the Association that nothing
short of full’ equalization will
satisfy the need-, and the desires
of the Negro citizens of Raleigh.

The white Medical Society is j
in savor of adding a wing onto

here. The .Negro Medical Socie
ty stands against such a pro
posal and are seeking a coin- :
plete-ly new medical .enter for j
the colored people of Charlotte.
The Negro Medical Hoc it* tv which j
is the Charlotte Medical Society,!
took j stand opposite uie reconi- j
mendations of the white doctor's |
croup, tiic Mecklenburg County j
Medical Society. Tiie white rued;- :
cal group has the backing oi the j
Chamber of Commerce in its pro
posal that a Negro unit be con
structed preferably at Memorial
(white) Hospital.
The Negro Medical Society is
seeking complete integration of
Negro patients at Memorial Hos
pital, instead of a mere wing.
Further, the Negro group con
tends that if segregation is con
tinued, a 200 bed hospital separate
from any other hospital should b»
buiit. The Memorial Hospital wav
built by the city from bond money
The Negro Medical Society of
Charlotte is bitterly against the
addition of a wing on a white hos
pital because it would only con
tain lie beds and it would cause
the city to have to divert its funds
This would mean that the Good
Samaritan Hospital (colored) would
have to close, leaving only the 05
beds in the new wing to take
