Early in his Priesthood, he was

Of American society to put the

Defeat Of COLLEGE
Plan Hailed By
Atlanta Paper

ATLANTA - Hailing the defeat
in the Senate of the Southern
scheme for segregated regional
colleges, the ATLANTA DAILY
WORLD expressed the hope that
the measure has been permanent
ly set aside.
1--WE rejoice the editorial said,
In the defeat of the scheme. For
it has neither moral nor legal
foundation. And as Thurgood
Marshall so we'll stated before the
committe hearings, in the last
analysis the Supreme Court would
be asked to declare it invalid, but
it would be unhealthy for the
Congress to give its blessings to
the system. Once again, Negro
Americans owe another debt of
gratitude to Walter White and the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People"

BY the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, July 10.-To give
each American child educational op-

age youngster had in 1910, schools
need at least a billion dollars more
than the $500, 900 spent during the
last school year, study shows.
DR.. F. G. Cornell of the Uni
versity of Illinois Department OF
Education reported the study at the
National Education Associations an
nual convention yesterday. 1t was
drafted by a three-day workshop
on school finance.
The f1ve-day meeting ended last
night. The Executive Committee,
which remained here today to clean
up tag ends of business, will pick
a site for next years meeting.
The school finance workshop.
headed by John M. Booth of Boise,
executive secretary of the Idaho
Education Association, concluded
the present average national ex-
penditure for each child is far be-
low the minimum amount necessary
to provide a well-rounded modern
educational program"
Teachers pay raises should be
based only on training and expert
ence because merit rating systems
are unreliable and harmful to pro-
fessional morale, a majority OF the
convention delegates agreed.
BY a vote of 598 to 1888, the dele
gates adopted a resolution last
night opposing merit rating systems
as subjective and invalid methods
of evaluating a teachers worth for
pay purposes.
