OF BOARD on
SCHOOL FAULTS

A mass meeting has been called
by the Community Action commit
tee at the Civic Center, ia Erskine,
on Wednesday. May 2, at 8 pm.
The purpose OF the meeting Is TO
discuss with the people Of the
East Central area the report OF the
Board OF Education on action to
correct bad conditions in the
Bishop and Lincoln schools.
The committee outlined TO the
board on March 20 ten ccndi-
tons at the schools. The report TO
be discussed In the mass meet
ing was given TO an executive
meeting of the committee on
April % by James II. Worries,
supervising principal Of Dis
trict IL.
AT THIS MEETING, which was
attended also by Principal Paul T.
Thompson Of Bishop school and
Principal o. B. Healey Of the Lin
coin school, in addition to discuss
ing the 10 conditions. both prin-
cipals pledged active staff support
to the building OF strong Parent
Teacher associations at tn e S
schools. According 10 members OF
the committee, such support has
been lacking in the past.
Atty. LeBron Simmons, repre-
senting the National Negro Con-
gresS, one OF the six national and
local organizations already affili-
ated with the committee, offered
mis- services in helping to set up
branches OF the National Parent
Teacher association. under the ma
tional rules Of that body.
IN DISCUSSING the need Of a
thorough cleaning OF the Lincoln
school, Worries informed the COM
mittee that many other schools in
Detroit are las dirty as Lincoln
school," He cited the Sampson
school at 6075 Begole as an ex-
ample. The committee pointed out
that the Sampson school also has
only Negro pupils.
The three representatives OF the
school system agreed that the tru-
ancy and juvenile delinquency rate
is higher in the district Of the Lin
coin and Bishop schools than in
any section of the city. The com.
,mittee pointed out the need fol-
correction of conditions in these
two schools which may be con-
tributing to this high rate.

are cognizant OF conditions and
when the war is over we believe
we know the answer to correcting
them.
The winter was tough" he con-
tinued. Snow came early and
stuck. December and January had
subnormal temperatures. There
was an early break in the. weather
and people cleaned their Easements

been hauled away.
