WHAT TO DO ABOUT ALcoRN> COLLEGE

Whot hos owoys been regarded by Negro citizens,
as the chief symbol of progress towards the constitutional
and accepted plan of separate but equal educotiono
opportunities for the white and Negro citizens OF the
state is Aco College, the states and only nsttut-
ion of higher education for Negroes.
Never the equoI of the states school FOR Negroes
provided by the adjoining sotes and other stotes OF the
South in the post years. greatly accelerated in the
past two the Institution has been dropping farther and
farther behind such Negro institutions in oil other South
en States.
Now comes new reports that the conditions at Alcorn
COLLEGE ore depIorobe ond that in its present condition
the school is unfit TO open for the coming session.
While this late report hos to do mainly with physi-
cio and sonitoy conditions of the Institution in the
qht of the educational needs of Negroes of the state

Whot to do about AIcorn College is question that
ureoty concerns the immediate and fixture progress of
Neqro education in the state.
Though void of legislative influence and political
power there hos gradually unfo'ded for the Negro of
the South during the past few years increasing evidence
that in motters of education his rights and needs will
not be disreqorded by the courts.
The conditions at Acorn College already known
und have been known for many years yet nothing sub
stontuI hos been done there anything beig plan
ned TO improve these conditions Indeed instead of go
inc forward AIcom is, by all present evidence going
backward
There appears only way of bringing about
any early improvement OF Alcorn College, and that is
by oppeoIing to the courts

Ney Jersey Refuse
10 Return Negro
Carolina Chain
Gang

Trenton, N j. Aug s - Gov
ernor Alfred E. Dricell today re-
fused to return Negro to what his
attorney said would be Giving
DEATH on a South Carolina chain
gang for SIS theft.
At Columbia, South Carolina
the next day, Attorney Gerald
John M. Daniels charged the New
Jersey Governor with passing
sentence on South Carolina
case.
Daniels declared that its un-
heard of that a governor of one
state should attempt to reduce a
sentence melted out by the courts
of another state.
John Collier, escaped from the
chain gang IL years ago after
serving nine months of a 10 mon
tn sentence. He has been held in
Newark 27 months on a fugitive
warrant.
Refusing to honor South Car
olina's demand for his return,
Driscoll asserted Collier :'has by
this time amply paid his debt to
society, to such an extent that
no further sound purpose could
be served by his extradition".
1t was the first time since
1882, when former Gov. "A. Harry
Moore declined to send Robert
Elliott Burns back to Gergia
Chain gang, that Ney Jersey has
rejected another states demand
for extradition.
During his two-year fight to
remain in New Jersey, Collie
charged he was denied a fair
trial and subjected ''to cruel and
inhuman beatings while stripped
naked. He said companion,
James Edwards, was beaten to
death before his eyes while chain
ed to prison bars. Later, Collie
SAID, he was beaten with brake
lining, rubber hose and an iron
file and prison guard dipped
straw broom in old set it on
fire, and swept it across his
back. All thew lille, he said, he
was shackled day and night in
chains weighing So pounds.
Driscoll's decision was on an
application by Collier for recall
of an extradition warrant signed
by former Gov. Walter E. Edge,
Jan. 8, 1947.

DOG TRAINING CLASSES
TO FIGHT DELINQUENCY

Dog ownership as a splendid
means of building character in
young people and of fighting the
rising tide of juvenile delinquency,
Is being urged by the Gaines Dog
Research Center, New York City.
Sociologsts have long recognized
the challenge of continuing respon-
sibility as a valuable factor in mold
ing character. Dog ownership pro-
vldes such responsibility to an ideal
degree, the Center states. Looking
after a dogs daily requirements,
taking him out, feeding and caring for
him, giving him needed attention
when he is not well, and sharing
with him innumerable experiences
OF a varied sort are invaluable aids
that lead to a desirable maturity.
Young people having dog in their
care are not likely to have the time
or inclination to run the streets, en-
gage in petty thieVeTy or after-School
fights or other forms of juvenile
gang terrorism.
The Center also suggested the in
clusion OF dog training courses as
part of the curriculum in America 5 1
public schools. Such training would
-nelp greatly in teaching patience and \
overcoming Objectionable personality
traits in addition to providing physi-
cal exercise, mental relaxation and
other wholesome end-resultS. Per-
haps the most valuable feature of
such training would be in self
discipline, in giving the youngster
satisfaction in the experience of con-
troll and in training him in the art Of
