After the . recent race riots President "Wilson was anxious that an educational program bo adopted to prevent future clashes, and hence looked to the Sociological congress to take the initiative in the movement. It is our object to get every state to work on the question and by universal co-operation and assistance not only to prevent future race riots, but to heip educate and enlighten the races. "It Is not our object to put races on an equality, as we draw a line In the south against the intermarriage of whites and blacks, as well as social fellowship, as this has been responsible for much ot the trouble there." Following is the program of the Sociological So-ciological congress, which will be presented pre-sented to the governors' conference: To make a thorough study of the causes by competent Investigators as the basis for a constructive program of education, edu-cation, legislation and law enforcement. To carry on a systematic campaign of publicity. To conduct conferences In important centers for discussing legal and moral aspects of law and order. To have speakers of commanding ability abil-ity to address conventions of religious, educational and oi her leaders. To encourage patriotic citizens in every community to organize a first line of defense de-fense against crime and the mob and thereby neutralize every move of lawlessness. |
