Mississippi W o m an 's Committee on
Race Relations pledged themselves to
the m ost progressiv- program of in-
terracial justice ever adopted by any
group in this state.
Beginning with a terrific broadside
against lynching and m ob violence,
they promised to seek better school
advatages for the colored people of
the State, offered their cooperation
to the N egro club women in their
efforts for a home for delinquent
boys, and then gave proof of their
sincerity by inviting the N egro wo­
men of the State to mem bership on
their committee. A m ong the specific
im provem ents in school conditons to
which they pledged themselves were
better facilities for teacher training,
better school buildings, and a more
equitable distribution of school funds.

president of Millsaps College, was e-
