lasses Discuss
mM Problems
The intercultural workshop has
combined with the modern trends
group to consider the problems that
are confronting everyone in establishing a complete harmony between all races.
The most recent problem considered was the nature of prejudices
and its significance in American
social scenes. Another phase of this
question was race ideals and their
effect on world peace.
A prominent question of this lo-s
cality is the Mexican migrant in
Michigan. Several meetings were
spent discussing this.
The problems of the seven Puerto
Rican girls in the class were discussed. This included the trouble
they have in large cities by being
mistaken for negroes. This involves
their being subject to the same prejudices as the negro. The question
now being discussed is consideration
of what the school and what the
community, do in the light of all
these problems.
