State, and of course, it suffers because of
the distinction. Saw thought provoking
picture of Lawrence Davis, president with
group of students, sweeping the leaves
on the college campus :. and mention made
about the schools budget and finances Re-
minded me of the days of duty work at
Philander! OF course, the politicians will
have some factual avements to make;
but in answer, it might be we'll
to let the Negroes and whites 60 on into the
state institutions together. They can get a.
long on the undergraduate level just as
well as they are doing at Fayettevie No
body is biting anybody at Fayetteville! 1t
might be well for the budget to get good
slashing so the Negroes would get sore, for
they do little better when they are stirred
up over something. The dangerous time
seems to be when everything is moving
smoothly, as many of our leaders begin to
enjoy the glories, and for some reason are
quick to forget.
JIM CROW SCHOOLS ON WAY OUT
The Supreme Court decision to permit
Sweat to enter Texas University Law
School, when one had been established, paw
ed the way for the admission of a Negro
to the law school at Louisiana State Uni
versity. So, the law school teachers at
Louisiana State University. So, the law
Texas State University for Negroes
and Southern Law School are probably MAX
ing applications for work elsewhere; or pre-
pairing to ply the profession for livelihood
in the general practice of law, if they ara
able to understand the trend of this day
and age So money has been wasted to
try to maintain segregation and Jim crow .
but the plan is morally wrong and we are
moving ahead in the direction of acting
morally right! Negroes and whites will soon
be in schools together on every level :. in
GLIDING the elementary schools, for il ap-
pears that We are going to have to spend
all of our dollars to wage war for the free
doms and | am sure that we will permit it
here! Just, hope l live to see the day,
NO VOICES ARE HEARD from the
wilderness of politics. With growing inter
est on the part of Negroes in politics, it
appears that the leadership would be heard
from at this season of the year, when the
legislators meet for the purpose of making
new laws and appropriatng public funds
for the general welfare. We hear nothing
about the Negro Boys Industrial School
the little Cummings Farm for adolescents.
We did hear that somebody was TO be APP
pointed superintendent, but we daresay
that the appointment will be made before
the end Of the fiscal year :. No voice is
heard by the people as to the dire need
for more monies for schools to which Ne
groes will go -. They talk of slashing a
school budget at AM&N and we hear not
a single word of protest from the alumni
or the politicians We hear nothing as to
the employment of Negroes in the depart
ment, where employment of Negroes is
ments of state government There Is the
terrible condition in the highway depart
quite curtailed. All we read and hear deals
with the disunity of Negroes The various
political leaders and groups are feuding
over whether one will sit at the right or the
left of the powers in government The peo-
pie are therefore waiting in the wilderness
for report from their leadership They
are squabbling over who's who. So, let us
hope and pray that there will appear some
new leaders in 1851
