ATHENS, Ga. - (S.NS)-
DR.. Waiter D. Cooking, oust-
ed dean of the school of edu-
cation of the University of
Georgia, charged Friday that
charges made against him in
re &c n t advertisements of
Governor Talmadge are ut
terly false.
In raid advertisements several
davs ago, Governor Talmadge
charged that Dr. Cockinp advocat-
eel coeducation of the white and
Negro races in Georgia. Negro en-
ploves in the office of the Board
Of Regents and a Negro member of
the board.
Tn a letter to President Harmon
Caldwell, of the University. DR.
Cooking said. "MoSt definitely
these suggestions and proposals
were not my orinions Or sugges-
tons" He said that the transcript
of the minutes of an educational
conference at Athens in May, 1898
vaf led in some particulars from
the transcript furnished him at
the time Of the meeting by the
same stenographer and said thai
additions or omissions createc
wrong impressions.
DR.. Cooking now has a high

GET RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

But the need is not for DIR. Du Bos to reverse
himself. The real need is for those entrusted with
the sacred charge of preparing Negro children for
life. to get the right perspective.
Both the classical and the vocational types OF
education needed. Under the influence Of the
outcome of that tragic debate of three decades ago.
the emphasis has been placed on the classical less
and less the vocational Realizing that the claSsi
cal is by far the cheapest the great foundations ard
state boards of education quickly fell in step with
the plan
Meanwhile white schools were gradually shifting
their emphasis Increasing attention was given to
vocational training. Institutions designed with the
sole purpose of teaching youth to meet competition
IN machine world were established-for white.
Today we see the result of our mistake. The
white boys have the jobs. Far too many of our boys
equipped only with Shakespeare, Chaucer and 9
diploma roam the streets.

NEED SKILLED ARTISANS

How correct Mr.. Mitchell is today and Booker
T. Washington was three decades ago. has never
been brought home to more forokbly than our
present predcament in the midst of this emer'
gency. The nation calls for trained artisans; there
are precious few of group who can answer.
The greatest tragedy that ever befen a group
was the division of opinion that split Negro think
ing during the historic clash between DR.. W. E.
Dubois and the late Booker r. Washington over
classical VS.. industrial education.
Dr.. Dubois won and today are paying a
heavy price for that victory. Just the other day
Dr. Dubois speaking before the conference of Presi-
dents of Land Grant Colleges in Chicago let fal
words that could be interpreted to mean that even
he has at last the value of this practical type
of vocational training for the large majority.
He urged his fellow educators to train men
and for jobs which you know they fill
and for jobs which may not even be existent but
which they can acQIut themselves capably in when
ever they do open"
One must admit that that is coming long way
around.

Negro's Right.
To Vote Before
Supreme Court
Wants Decision
OF Lower Ala.
Courts Reversed

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -(SNS) -
A colored citizen will ask the Ala
bama Supreme Court next Tues
day to reverse a decision, OF the
lower courts which refused to pass
upon his qualifications to become
a registered voter in Alabama
The Board OF Regents refused to
register him.
The case is that of William Bos-
well VS.. Rufus Bethea, chairman
of the Board; Sterling j. Foster
and Herman A. WhiSenett, men,
bers Of the Board who were ap-
pointed by Governor Dixon, on an
appeal from the dismissal OF the
case on demurrer
The case will not be argued but
the lawyers are submitting on
brief" which means the Supreme
Court will decide the case from
arguments presented in the briefs.
In dismissing the case which was
demurred by the Solicitor OF Jeffer-
son County, the judge ruled, &C
cording to the brief submitted by
the Attorney General, that the Pc
itioner "did not state facts SUI
ficient to entitle him to registra'
tion."
The state is arguing that when
the p n e refused
to amend or plead further" to the
demurrer that the judge was cor
rect in dismissing teh case. The pc
titioner claims that the judge erred
inasmuch as such petition cannot
be demurred under Alabama law.
The case based upon the Codes
of Alabama -1940, title II, section 81
was dismissed January 81, 1910.
In his initial arguments, Attor-
ney A. D. Shores, representing the
, petitioner, that there was a con-
spiracy of the Board of Registrars
to prevent Negroes from becoming
registered voters" He contended
further that the petitioner met al
the qualifications of an elector anc
made proper application.
It was observed that the brief fol
the petitioner laid predicate fol
carrying the case to the U. S. Su-
preme Court.

it is alleged that Negro was en-

ton for the Advancement of Col

Thomas, president Of the UAW-
CIO to come here Immediately Tor

The NAACP expressed apprecia-
Jion of the uneouivocal stand which
Thomas and other CIO Officials
took or. the race issue during the
Ford STRIKE last spring and con-
fidence that he will act promptly
and uncon1prcinisingly in the pres
elt situation.
Reports of the walk-out were
vant to the national office from
the Columbus branch NAACP
when the strike began to spread
from the tool and die division OF
the plant to other departments.
"The original ISSUE" the union
members said. twas not whether
NEGROES would be employed, but
how many would be employed anc
where they would work"
Carl Coreland and William Glib
son, UAW organizers got to the
daily press with statements thai
someone in the Curtiss- Wright
! plant must be "in the pay Of Hit
lei" because Negroes are now be.

The NAAc'p letter to Thomas
suggested that he suspend Cope
land for this statement and Others
in which he said, "they (Negroes,
should be segregated"
The NAACP has reported the case

CASE OF POOR TIMING

His chastisement of Negro newspapers, which OF
course included us; his undercover opposition to
the anti-lynching bill sponsored by the NAACP,
which led him with poor timing to introduce one
of his own, other moves which left unpleas-
ant taste in this writer's mouth.
But last week, Mr.. Mitchell speaking before the
Louisiana Colored Teachers Association "Edu
cation Democracy, National Defense" came right
down alley
The theme of his address,, which has been
repeatedly presented in this space, was that the ts
duty of education should be to prepare youths
along such lines as will enable them to become sell
supporting and self-respecting citizens
It was refreshing for us to read how Mr. Mitch
ell developed this principle sadly neglected dur
ing these crucial days of mechanizatlon IN by far
the large majority of our high school and college
curriculIlms.

distinguished for his appeal to
prejudice and ignorance, packed

force the dismissal OF certain
foreign educators G E., non
Gecrgians) wbc were alleged to be
less prejudiced and ignorant than

The action of the State Library

Is also taken as an indication that
the educational system of the

gia,' DR.. Gallagher continues
FIt cannot be said that an educa-
tional system. under such polici-
cal control, is free. The one bright
hope in the Georgia picture is the
continuance of several private col
leges which are not as readily
sn1endable to political maneuver-
ing" @- m | = @l r55

peered recently in a newspaper

Of white supremancy, the college
presidents report affirms that "if
this type of thinking becomes
widespread and vocal, it cen turn
into an Alabama counterpart OF
the gyrations Of the Georgia COVER
nor. And in that event. the only
institutions which are able to stand
against the 1eactionary political
and social pressers would be those
which are so firmly rooted in the

that they had financial and moral
strength to weather the storm"

His argument is that donors to the
