ATLANTA SCHOOLS POOR
FOR NEGRO YOUTH

ATLANTA, Feb. 3 (ANP)-A
recent survey on Atlanta's public
schools for Negro children, by the
local chapter of the Urban league,
disclosed that the public school
system, as far as Negro youths are
concerned, is backward and far
from up-to-date.
Of 70,894 school children here,
26,528 are Negroes and 44,456 are
white, the survey revealed. This
city, which is noted for it's institu-
tions for higher earning, has but
one public school for every 2,04O
Negro children while there is one
school for every 855 white children.
The city invests S2,156 for each
white pupil but 1887 for each Ne
gro pupil; in 1912, S1O8.70 was ex-
pended for the education of each
white child but only $3.50 for each
Negro pupil.
"The double session is the black
market of public education for Ne
groes in Atlanta" Urban League
officials declare. "The white child
goes to school six and half hours
a day while the Negro child goes
but three and half hours, from
900 am. until 1890 pm. or from
1890 pm. until 400 pm"

in the third grade, but her mother
wouldn't agree. She doesn't want
her amazing little daughter to be
pushed too far too fast, and al
though Susan Nan gets her aca-
demic training with the second
graders, her playmates are all
youngsters in her own age group.
Susan acts just like any other
little girl of five. Tuesday after
noon, when her mother at our in
vitation brought her by the Spokes-
man office, she was more inter-
ested in playing with her blonde
little sister, than in displaying any
mental marvels.
Area of Genius
Okey M. Coger, of the state edu-
cation department of West Vir-
GINA, who gave Susan Nan the Otis
test, said of the child:
"Nan has an exceptionally high
10, beyond the scale of the test
administered, which places her
within the area of genius" Coger
revealed the tests scale was placed
on the level of an eight-year-old,
and that Nan has the intelligence
of a child at least twice her age.

arrange their minds" on the racial
question. On board ship there was
a shortage of coffee cups, and
southern soldiers and Negro G.I.'s
shared their cups, state of affairs
that would cause Senator Bilbo of
Mississippi to pop a blood vessel
if he knew about it.
The Minneapolis veteran re-af-
firmed the statements made by out
spoken servicemen of both races,
that race prejudice in the Army
comes mostly from the top down
instead of from the ranks up.
90 "The white boys are thinking on
a frmer basis now, and are trying
to find something to talk to colored
fellows about. The only means most
of them had out in the Pacific was
through the old songs. When they
would hear US singing, they would
come up and ask if we knew old
Black Joe,' or 'Swanee River
They didn't mean any harm; it was
the only basis they knew on which
to start a conversation. Of course,
it set up a barrier between US
right away instead of helping, as a
lot of our fellows resented it."
Washer explained.
He continued, thinking carefully
before he spoke. "I'm sure the
commanding officers could foresee
mass inter-racial sociaGzing, be-
cause when we moved in with the
18th Air Force on Morotai, some
of the white fellows were eager to
mingle with US, even suggested that
they move their tents over next to
ours, and vice versa, but when the
co.'s found out what was going on,
we were moved away"
Didn't Move Too Soon
The move didn't come too soon,
and probably saved the lives of
many of the 429th men because the
Japs increased the intensity of their
attacks almost Immediately, and the
going became hot and heavy. 1t
was the job of the 429th to keep
communications installed and tele-
phone lines open between airstrips
and headquarters, and between
various units.

Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Ellis
herself a former kindergarten
teacher, demonstrated Susan Mans
favorite "game," one which left
adult employees in the newspaper
office completely stumped, while
Susie took it in stride, and seemed
impatient because it was holding
up her sharing of a toy her little
sister was carrying. Mrs. Carter
spelled out the words to a sentence
made up on the spot, all at once,
one following the other swiftly.
Susie, with hardly moments hest
tation, interpreted the sentence be-
fore the adults surrounding her
had even got past the first two
words.
Ohio State University tested her,
last May, and although it refused
to reveal her score, Mr. and Mrs.
Ellis were notified that, 1--WE have
found she is of very superior in
telligence."
Could Snap Fingers
Mrs. Carter said Nan could snap
her fingers at will when she was
only a year and a half, a feat which
called for muscular coordination
far beyond her years. At the age
of three, Susan Nan was able to
read simple nursery rhymes, and
was beginning to learn to write
She also started to read the news
papers at three.
She writes letters now just like
any grown-up, and has quite list
of soldier correspondents! The G
rs whom Susie writes to, proudly
display her letters, paste them il
scrapbooks, and make as much over
them as if she were a full-fedgeG
pin-up girl. She's on her way to
being one, too, if she continues al
the present rate. She takes after
her pretty mother, but Mr.. Ellis is
nice looking young fellow, also
The senior Ellises are both grad
yates of West Virginia State Col
lege at Institute, and Mr.. Ellis was
sent here on a scholarship from his

Susan Nan will probably also be
under the scrutiny of the demon
stration school at the University
of Minnesota, but so far she's more
interested in dolls and toys than
mental tests.

SERGEANT MILFORD WASHER
was on had to change course. Some
one neglected to notify certain Jap
submarine commanders that the
war was over! Instead of landing
at San Francisco, the ship docked
at Seattle, after spending two and
a half days in Puget Sound until
an experienced pilot came out to
guide it through waters laid with
protective mines.
Of the homeward trip, Washer
said simply: "There was water
when you went to bed, water when
you woke up, and if you laid down
on the deck for a nap, somebody
would come along with a scrubpail
of water and ask you to move"
Everything was all wet.
There was a comradeship be-
tween white and Negro soldiers
on the battlefront and on board
ship, but when the boat locked at
Seattle, it changed somehow. The
change wasn't too great, but it
was noticeable, he stated. The
danger was over and home in
fiuences were beginning to come to
the surface again.
Minds Re-Arranged
Nevertheless, Washer thinks the
white boys chad something to re-
