Clark Howell, editor of The Constitution, encloses recent editorials from the four daily newspapers of Atlanta, Georgia. Howell says the keynote of investigation in order to get at the truth of the “race problem” runs through them all, and he notes that this is the first instance in which the four newspapers of Atlanta have ever discussed any proposition along the same general line. Howell suggests the creation of a nonpartisan commission tasked with investigating the issue of whether or not the education of the negro race is “proving his ruination.”
