Negro Citizens In
Atlanta File
Intention To Sue
For Equal School
facilities

Atlanta, Ca, April % - More
Goals were heaped on Georgia's
fiery school crisis in behalf of
Atlanta Negro pupils last week.
While recessing teachers in
Rockmart voted to go back to
work Monday to Atlanta groups
prepared to present a petition
Monday to Miss Ira FARRELL SUI
perintendent of Atlanta Schools,
and the Atlanta Board of Educa-
ton.
The petition outlines in de-
tail difference in the educational
systems for white and negro
children. tt asks that the super.
intendent and Board OF Educa-
ton bring the negro education
facilities and services up to the
white standards.
The petition is signed by Mrs.
E. L. Dixon, chairman of the
Metropolitan Atlanta Parents
Council, and DR.. D. E. Mays,
chairman of the Citizens Commit
tee for Educational Opportunity
The protest comes on the heels
Of the refusal by Georgians to tax
themselves to finance a minimum
education program and other ex
pande dstate service.
Among other things, the petit
ion claims a small proportion OF
public funds are being spent OF
Negro education now than siz
years ago
1t said the average expenditure
per Negro pupil now is $751;;
compared to $17S.67 for a white
pupil. The figures in 1884 were
, SAIL for negro pupil and 1894
for white pupil.
The petition charged that The
conditions described in the 1;
point petition are a violation o
the Federal Constitution.
The U. S. District Court rulet
last October that teachers salar
les had to be equalized in AT
lanta. The decision is on appea

By State Board
1T Is Now My Wish To Move On

Resigning President Saws
College Constantly In Spot Light
During Pipes Administration

Jacknon Miss, April Is - Dr..
w. H. Pipes, ending on June Both
four years as President OF Alcorn
College the states only institu-
ton of higher learning for Ne
groes, resigned last week. His
resignation, setting July /, as the
effective date came Immediately
after his reelection for another
term was announced by the State
Board.
The resignation Of DR.. Pipes
came as a complete surprise
throughout the state.
During the your year term Of
President Pipes, who went to
the college at a time when it was
admittedly at the lowest depth
in its entire history, his admins
tration and conditions at the col
lege have been constantly in the
publlc spotlight.
Among the conditions which
kept the spot light on the ad-
ministration and conditions at the
college was the appointment of
a white business manager, whose
authority far exceeded that of the
prehident and served to reduce
him to a mere figure head in the
eyes of the faculty and students;
and the constant and rapid turn
over in faculty personals.
According to informed sources,
the Business Manager through an
inter-office communications sys-
tenn listened to all conferences
which the president held with
members of tie faculty, students,
and others regarding the school
so as to be able, thereafter, to
advise him upon such matters.
Dcring the four years, accord
ing to reports regarding the rapid
turn over in the faculty person
ell, the college has had six more
deans, about the same number Of
coaches and similar large and
rapid turn over among other mem
bers of the faculty.
| 1t is these conditions which OBJ
servers says have made it impossi-
BILE to broaden the circular and
which has kept the spirit and
moral of the college at the low
est in its hihtory during the past
four years.
COLLEGE GETS "a" RATINP.
A few weeks after the start of
the Presidents term Alcorn Col
lege was awarded an "a" rating
by the Southern Association of
College and Secondary Schools.
The granting of the "A" rating
Immediately aroused the suspicion
and considerable comment from in
telligent Negro citizens of the state
largely because Of the fact that
near the end of the previous Term
conditions at the college were re
ported as being so bad that II
was suggested in some quarters
that it might be best to keep it
closed until many needed improve
nents could be made.
DR.. Pipes accepted the "a"
rating for the college when mosg
of the conditions were about the
same as existed at the close of
the previous term.
Existing as the states only in
stitution of higher learning for
Negroes, while receiving an a.
rating the collegehad almost a.
bandoned its emphasis on the lib
eral arts. Widely proclaimed as
