judicial sanction to the separate
but equal doctrine. cited b. Texas
and Oklahoma. the briefs show
that this case involved "a very
narrow issue Of intrastate trans

the latter field.
The Court IS urged TO re-exam-

the brief contends. are more truly

through almost four years Of liti-

Mr. Marshall has termed the
MeLaurin case different from all
other cases involving segregation
IN education and states that II
makes the clearest challenge to
segregation in public education.
This is true, the NAACP counsel
asserts. because McLaurin has the

Respect for Human
Nature Comes
First At Dunbar

The departmental chairmen OF
Dunbar high school are considered
a part of the administrative staff.
Each chairman believes that the
system must be built from the
bottom up rather than from the
top down. With this in mind, each
department takes the child as he
is when he enters the seventh
grade. and builds each years work
for him in accordance with the
experience. abilities. needs, and in
terests that he brings out Of his
previous years. The same prac-
tice is followed in the senior high
school The Dunbar teacher re-
cognizes the weakness in the
"top-down" practice when praetic-
ed in the senior high school. The
administrative staff grade should
be forced to reach a college en-
trance standard. Our responsibility
is to the child at hand and not TO
the college. Every Dunbar teacher
works honestly with each indivi-
dual pupil. his nature his needs
and the college must select those
Of our students that II wishes in
line with its traditions This makes
for a happier, better adjusted stu
dent.
Students must not be prosecuted
because Of their shortcomings. Re-
spect for human nature comes
first. Standards are false unless
they are set in accordance with
