Editorial
LIE CHANCE is NOW OURS
THE BUTLER. MILLER re

port on the Virgin Islands is
SO striking and so full of val
liable material that it is almost
our duty to call detailed atten-
ton to it, and make some eff
fort to pass on to our readers
the great import Of such a
work, and how significant it
can be as a real jumping off
place. It is an opportunity, a
real opportunity for us, and
we should not let it go. Too
long have we CROPPED in the
dark, slowly coming to the
place where we realized that
something must be done, but
just what, no one seemed to
know, or be willing to take the
daring step. Now this study
and report have come, and we
should not let it pass by.
WHILE THE Report hit at
the the thinking k Of our people in
spots, yet it confined itself to
the economic and social as
poets Of the situation. One fac
tor which we ourselves know
best and can rectify best, is
our thinking. No amount of
help from the outside will be
of avail unless and until we
SO adjust our thinking that
we accept and make effective
use of whatever opportunities
come through national legis-
lation. This is not just so much
hot air. This is real : a pro-
blom which has shut off al
most everything else and
, 1948-03-02


thing which might come our
way.
ONE OF THE first steps to-
wards right thinking which.
must come our way is a defin-.
ite desire to leave the old and
try out the new. This is true
in almost every walk of life.
II we would succeed, we must
first learn to cooperate for the
greatest good and advantage
of all. The town-to-town, and
lsland-to-island issue MUST
be wiped out. There must be
a willingness to readjust our
thinking as to honest work.
We are likely to be, and right
now, to the place where Book
er I. Washington found many
in the South after the Civil
Var. There was, as he found
it, a disdain for good, honest
labor, and many refused even
TO support themselves because
employment could be found
only in what was considered
dignified jobs. Slowly but
surely he changed that, and as
the years went by it was
found that builders, carpen-
tiers and other artisans could
produce more, and better care
for their families than those
supposedly in better" jobs.
To meet this need, education,
as the Report points out, has
to be changed to meet the
needs of the times and the
people. A quick review would
,eveal, we are sure, that too
heavy a percentage of high
school graduates prepare them
! selves only to fly off to the
mainland.
ANOTHER HIGHLY impor
tant factor is the attitude to-
wards agriculture. Because
young people shy away from
it, the age level of those active
ly engaged in it is much too
high. To this is added the APP
.palling picture of a one-crop
system, which, from every con
Lceivable angle is most destruc
tive both to the land and the
people who. would make a>liv-
ing from it.
