Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor of The Sun:
Commenting on what Mr.. Busey
had to say in the last issue of the
Arizona Sun in condemnation of
AriZona's segregated school sys-
tenn, will say 1 am (and many 9TH
er fair minded persons are) in ac-
cord with Mr.. Busey. AS have said
so often, it is one of the silliest
and most expensive school laws
imaginable; any reasonable mind
ed person with just common horse
sense knows that it cost more to
build and maintain two standards
of schools. Now take our own
Roosevelt School out here on 10th
St.-We have an enrolment of al
most 300, with just about enough
room and seats for 200, comforta-
bly,. Furthermore, there is no
ground equipment, shade trees, fa-
cilities for amusements and no
fence around the school grounds.
This silly law requires where there
are separate schools there "ShalP
be equal facilities, but just pass by
schools for whites and note the
difference. Arizona should be
ashamed of this wide difference.
When our school needs are sup
piled, in most instances, it's second
hand things brought from some of
the white schools. This isn't only
practicing discrimination but it's
relegating our Negro children to
End class citizenship. In our separ-
ate schools most of them are poor
ly heated and the cooling system
(those that have any, aren't the
best. Still, we hear almost every
day, over the radio about what we
must do for our youth and what
the youth is expected to do for the
country, but in the face of such
treatment how can we expect the
youth who happen not to have
white skin to do for their country
what they should? Our law makers
should not allow such a school sys-
tenn to exist, and believe the peo-
pie of Arizona should have a say
about this segregation and it should
be an issue in our November cleo
ton, the voters and taxpayers
should be allowed the privilege to
accept or reject it.

WHITE RACES HAVE VIRTUES
THE NEGRO SHOULD ASPIRE

WHITE RACES HAVE VIRTUES
THE NEGRO SHOULD ASPIRE
Many of the Colored races are
prone to follow line of least re-
sistance'. No brain is required for
such Stupidness. This is especially
true of the American Negro. In
stead of copying the thrift, pros
perity, vigorous improvements and
the science of economic advance
ment the average Negro, is per-
fectly satisfied to ape only, the
trivial, petty, childish and exhibi-
tory characteristics of the white
races. For an instance: members of
the white races deems it necessary
to build a railroad from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. He (white) builds
and improve, land, water and aer-
ial transportation while the puer-
lie minds of the Negro, primitive
as usual, builds churches, dance
halls, mite clubs secret order buf
fooneries' and other frivolous,
crime incubating activities, requir-
ing no culture, brain nor intelli-
gence. What can my daughter,
who just graduated from the UA.,
find to do in a 'juke box ennpor-
lump The time spent in the Uni
verSity, would have been more pro-
fitably spent in picking long staple
cotton, at $500 per hundred. send
my son to Howard University. He
majors in Physics; the science of
matter and motion, Including me-
chanics, heat, electricity, light,
sound, radiation, gamma and cos
mic rays. He returns home, across
the railroad track as usual and to
his CONSERVATION, finds church
on every corner, a pig ankle joint
here and there, Bar-B-Q pit, a
grogg-shop and other unsanitary
grease spots so common in Negro
communities. The inmates, owners
or caretakers of these non-esSen-
tial and crime breeding 'honky-
tonkS' know or care nothing about
gamma or atomic structure, None
are interested i'm StratoSpheric re-
searches or cosmic rays; finally,
my son is forced, through the tor
pid and inexcusable inertia of his
race, to go to the field, shoulder a
cotton sack and git going Just
what essential products are owned,
manufactured and distributed by
the American Negro, that appears
in Dow Jones' daily quotations?
Look around your city and list the
industrial or manufacturing plants
owned and controlled by the Ne
gro. Yet, if the vile and putrid Klu-
Klux-Klan, the Columbian or 9TH
er anti-Negro rebellious conspira-
tors, would honor the Negro with a
charter; there would be as many
chapters of the xxx, and other
nefarious and reprobative cliques,
among the Negroes of your COM
munity as there are Masons, Odd
Fellows and other non-constructive
and costly organizations now borne
on the innocent shoulders of mem
bers of the Negro race.

White School Cuts
Courses To
"EquaIize"

King George, Va. Nov. a
In a drastic attempt to obey a
Federal Court order to provide
equal White and Negro school
facilities here, five courses have
been dropped from the local White
high school curriculum.
At the same time, the King
George County school board or
dered that by Friday a ninth
grade class should be created at
the Jegro King George Training
School.
The latter action involves pro
noting half of the Negro eighth
graders to create the ninth grade
class By this, boht he White and
Negro high schools will be on a
five-year basis, with eighth
through twelfth grades.
Both actions are INTENDED U
show that King George County
is doing every thing possible to
"equalize" facilities, in addition
to a referendum set for Saturday
on the question ia $150,0OO bond
issue for a new Negro high school.
DEADLINE TODAY
Federal Judge Sterling Hutche-
son on Ocober % gave the King
George County school board a
deadline of his Friday to "show
cause" why it should not be held
in contempt of his equalization
order.
Dropped by the White school
were tie elective courses in Chem
istry, physice, Biology, geometry
and algebra II.
School Superintendent t. Ben
ton Gayle said oday that he
"thourghly disapproves" abolish
ing these courses.
While some fears were express
ed that this might cost the school
its accreditation as a high school,
William L. Smith, Jr. supervis-
ing principal of both White and
Negro schools, said, ct don't see
where that will be affected. The
school is still offering all courses
that are required for accredation."
Smith said the White school has
1T students and dropping the
courses affects about 80 pupils.
There are about 70 pupils in the
Negro high school.
