rulings on discrimination. Writ
ing for the Court of Appeals last
week, Judge Morris A. Soper de-
clared:
"The burdens inherent in seq
regation must be met by the
State which maintains the prac-
tice."
The present Arlington School
Board has no quarrel with this
tenet. Yet the board and Supt.
w. A. Early stand convicted Of
discrimination, in a technical
sense, at least.
Board Called Liberal.
The Constance Carter suit was
initiated against the school au-
thorities before the present board
assumed Office two and a half
years ago. Mr.. Early has been
superintendent for only a year.
He and the board may be classed
as liberal, both with respect to
educational practices and racial
relations. They have not been
reluctant to spend millions of dol
lars for school construction. They
have raised teachers salaries and
employed additional instructors.
Here are two recent develop
ments sanctioned by the school
authorities which seem to be
significant:
l. Throughout last winter, the
first basketball team ever organ
lied by Hoffman-Boston colored
boys practiced in the gymnasium
of the white Dolly Madison Junior
High School. The colored youths
used toilet facilities at Madison
but not the showers. There were
no incidents and there have been
no complaints from citizens.

Gloucester Board Hit.
The Gloucester School Board
was in a difficult position. Citizens
refused, in referendum, to autho-
rize bond issue with which to
build schools. The board. there
fore, lacked money with which to
comply with a Federal Court or
der. Subsequently. special ar
was made so the coun-
ty could borrow from the State
Literary Loan Fund.
The $4,000 Gloucester pro-
gram has provided five new class
rooms for Negroes. a cafeteria, IL
brary and science laboratory. The
also has contracted for an
other 10-classroom addition which
will be ready in September.
Arlington school problems have
not been confined to colored IA
cilities. AS a metropolitan area
community, the county was
caught in the wartime and post
war crush which placed unprec-
edented burdens upon all schools.
The burdens are not eased by
maintaining a flrst-class dual
system. For Arlington must pro-
vide "a Negroes at Hoffman-Bos-

cation as 1t provides 1878 white
children at Washington-Lee.

u. S. Courts Demand Equality.
Federal courts never have in
terfered with State practices of
segregation. But they have held
repeatedly that no racial discrim-
ination may be practiced in such
fields as public education. Equal
facilities and opportunities must
be provided all citizens.
In Arlington, the dual system
of schools is unusually expensive
The population there is predom-
nantly white. Only 962 Negroes
attend the public schools, where
as the white attendance is 1882.
Per capita costs of instruction
naturally run much higher for
the small group.
In 1859, for instance, the per
capita cost of Institutional salaries
for Negro high school pupils was
$199.52; for whites it was $133.64.
School plant operation that year
cost $22.60 for each colored child,
as against $13.61 for each white.
There was much greater difference
in the per capita costs for main
tenance: for colored the figure
was $76.67. while for whites it was
only 1882
Costs for Negroes Higher.
Per capita expenditures were
higher for Negroes in all other
categories. For comparable groups
in 1889, Arlington spent at the
rate of SIS cents per white pupil
for library books and reading ma
terial: for Negroes the rate was
$15.33. For white home economics
students, the expenditure per pupil
was 54 cents. 1t was $9.65 for
Negroes. And so on.

gated schools do not affect court

but if it is to be considered in de-
Gliding his classification it must
be reduced to written form so
that it may be placed in his rec
ord.
May Appeal in 10 Days
After the regiStrant is CLASH
fled, he is mailed a notice of
classification. If he believes his
classification unfair, he has 10
days in which to appeal, from the
date of mailing of the notice. The
board of appeal may keep him in
his original classification or
change it to another one.
After the local board studies
all of the facts it has gathered
concerning a registrant, it de-
cides the classification in which
he is placed. Should the need for
men for the armed services again
arise, the man who is found to be
available, insofar as deferments,
other than physical, are con-
cerned, would then be sent TO
an armed forces station for a
physical and mental examination.
If found acceptable, he would be
definitely in Class IA and mailed
a notice of acceptability. II not
acceptable to the armed forces,
he would be reclassified in IV-F.
When the director of Selective
| Service receives a call from the
armed forces for a certain num-
Der of men, he apportions the to-
tai among the States, which, in
turn, apportion it among the local
boards. When the local board re-.
ceiveS the call, the required num-
Der of. men are chosen in the
order of their dates of birth from
among those who have been ex-
amined by the armed forces and
found to be acceptable. The pro-
cess begins with the Oldest Is

office-many of which are open
one day a week or less-but its
location may easily be ascertain
ed by inquiry OF the post office,
local newspaper, court house, or
city hall.
Process is Simple
"The registration process is
simple and requires only a short
time. The data thus gathered is
sent to the local board of the
community he terms his home
and which has jurisdiction over
him"
When the registrant has a per-
manent home, the permanent
home address should be given to
registration officials, Col. Goble
said. For this purpose home" is
the place with which the regis
trant normally Identifies himself
and at which he would wish to be
classified.
Col. Goble pointed out that
there is no liability for service
under the Act until the age of
l9 is reached, but he empha-
sized the obligation to register
at l8.
The law is specific" he said.
and provides severe penalty
for failure to comply"
Col. Goble added that the law
is also specific in its requirements
concerning obligation of a reg
istrant to keep his local board
informed as to any change in his
address where he may be
reached by mail, that is - or
change in his status under the
Act.
THAT applies after the regis
trant becomes 26 as well as be-
fore" Col. Gobel said, land it
means that college and university
students, as well as other regis
trant, should notify their respec-
tive local boards when they leave
their homes. There is no form for
this. It may be done by mail or
personally appearing at the board
office" He emphasized that the
requirements to register and legal
obligations of registrants were in
no way altered because there
have been no inductions since
January of l949.
Process Explained
Explaining the Selective SerV-
ice process Col. Goble said it be
gins with registration. Remark
ing on the fact that the law spe-
officially states that everyone be-
tween the ages of l8 and 26 must
register, Col. Goble explained
that the only exceptions are men
on active duty with the armed
forces and foreign diplomats and
a few aliens under conditions
rigidly specified. The l8-year-old
men cannot be indicted until
they become 10.
