NEGRO EDUCATION THEME OF TALK Juliette Derricotte Speaks in "Y" "Discriminations and Christianity can never live in the same house." Juliete Derricotte, National Secretary of the Y. W. C A. expressed this as her belief in relation to the race problem Thursday night in "Y". Miss Derricotte has had a wide range of experience and comes in daily contact with the machinery of the Y. W. C. A. With the purpose in mind of giving students a broader knowledge of Negro education, Miss Derricotte described school life from the standpoint of the different types of schools. Most of her descriptions concerned her own Alma Mater, but she also informed her hearers well of Tuskcgee and the "little Tuskegees" scattered throughout the United States. Her audience left with a feeling of pleasure and perhaps a little shame.
