Attitude of Poor Citizenship

To the Editor Of The Star
I would like this communication to be con-
sdered as letter to the colored parents and
citizens of Washington:
read with great deal Of apprehension the
news account of a contemplated 'city-wide
sympathy strike which would pull some 10000
Negro students out of the public schools in
protest against the action Of the Board of Edu-
cation in transferring certain schools for the
use of Browne Junior High School pupils" and
in refusing to turn over Eliot Junior High
School for use of Negro students"
AS civic worker of many years standing I
consider this movement a disgrace and re-
Election on the intelligence of our stable right
thinking and law-abiding Negro citizens whose
objectives are the welfare of their children and
Of the community
Our parents should be ever mindful of the
fact that in supporting a strike to keep stu
dents out of school they are actually violating
the compulsory school attendance law. But
over and beyond this step, which is a bad move
in itself, is the further fact of the damaging
effect on our children in being encouraged to
violate the law.
Do we as parents and citizens want our
children to break the law under our guidance?
Do we want OUR children to miss valuable
educational training by staying out of school for
issues which can and should be settled on the
adult level?
Do We want our children to develop. atti
tudes of poor citizenship and undesirable char
acter traits fostered deliberately by U.s. that will
persist throughout their lives?
I have every confidence that you do not, and
you can show it by not supporting the proposed
city-wde strike and any other movement that
keeps our children out of school.

President Emeritus, Mid-city Civic Associa-
ton.

The DISAGREEMENT as to Methods

The four members of the Presidents
Commission on Higher Education who
dissented from the commissions majority
views on racial segregation in the schools
have defined the narrowing field of dis
agreement between those who are working
for the advancement of colored citizens.
This disagreement relates to methods.
The commission majority points out the
basic contradiction between American
principles of equality and the practice
OF segregation. Like the preceding report
of the Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights, the commission argues that while
segregation is permissible under court
interpretations of the constitution, valid
ity of the practice depends upon the pro-
vision of equality of educational facilities.
Yet the overall conditions in areas where
dual school systems are maintained show
very plainly that equality of facilities does
not exist; in many areas it is not even
attempted. Here in the District of Colum-
bia the fact of equality of public school
facilities is a matter of controversy, but
the argument depends mainly on the inter
probation of statistics. Inequality is not
visible as In most of the seventeen South
ern States where segregation is the rule.
With the facts of inequality under seq
regated school systems throughout the
South minority members of the Presidents s
commission do not disagree. They admit
their existence But while the commission
majority would cure these inequalities by
elimination of segregation under legisla-
tive fiat or coercion, the minority argues
that efforts toward Improvement must,
in the South, be made within the estab-
lished patterns of social relationships,
which require separate educational instl-
tutions for whites and Negroes We believe
that announcements such as those OF the
commission on segregation jeopardize these
efforts, impede progress and threaten
tragedy to the people of the South both
white and Negro. We recognize the high
purpose and the theoretical idealism of the
commissions recommendations. But a
doctrinaire position which ignores the
facts of history and the realities OF the
present is not one that will contribute
constructively to the solution of difficult
problems of human relationships"
This minority view is important, because
1t is the view which predominates in the
areas where patterns of segregation have
developed. Recognition of the evils asso-
ciated with segregation must not be per-
mitted to obscure equally important under
standing of the nature of difficulties to be
encountered in their removal. failure
to understand them can retard rather than
hasten our pursuit of the ideal.
Evening star., 1947-12-24
1t Was Fun, Indeed!

To the Editor of The Star
OF course, realize that Elliott Roosevelt is
front-page news, and 1 am not, definitely.
However, I should like to call your attention
to the fact that for the last seven years
have been advertising Christmas trees through
your Miscellaneous For Sale" column, on a
'cut your own if you wish basis, with a great
deal of success. Generally the price was SOC
for any size tree, but went up to 81 this year,
which is still not above Mr.. Roosevelt's price.
I estimate that about 200 families year have
benefited from this method of obtaining their
Christmas trees. I think some found it ap-
pealing because of the economical angle, but
most believe, did it because they thought
it was fun. They usually arrived with children
and dogs, and there was plenty of room for ALL
If they did not have axes or saws,,we supplied
them. OF course, shoe shines and nylon hose
it was good sport.
We have felt that it was a pleasure, because
it seemed to give so much pleasure, and, of
course, we, even as others, could find use for
the money obtained through this means.
I am not writing you in an effort to obtain
publicity-it could not help me, as believe this
is to be our last year for it. due to the fact that
the house burned down in November, and
doubt if we will be living there another year.
After seven years of seeing the happy folks
come, am sure that another year shall miss
them when the time for cutting Christmas trees
comes around. I really have to admire their
spirit and courage, when think how very bad
the weather has been some of the days that
they have driven out here, and then waded
through snow and mud IN order that they
might cut their own trees. Then there were
the war years with gasoline rationing, and per-
haps mothers brought the children then be-
cause daddies were serving their country, and
we helped cut the trees in order to try to
help little.
did not mean to write book, but it looks as
though this is fast becoming one.
So will write fms to this letter and to our
Christmas tree business
(Mrs.) MARY COOK BAILEY.
