LETTERS
to the
EDITOR
November /, 1852.

Consolidation of the Chester
school district and the Russell
school district has created a
number of problems vital to the
welfare of the children of this
new district. These problems
demand solution.
In the interests of operating
the newly formed West Geauga
school district as efficiently and
fairly as possible within the linn
its of its $150,0O0 annual budget,
the following proposal is re-
specially submitted.
Under the present organiza-
ton, for example, the elemen-
tary school cannot buy even the
most commonplace items, such
as electric light bulbs and soap,
without filing requisition with
the clerk of the Board. 1t is pos
sible that the cost of the paper
work involved sometimes ex-
ceeds the cost of the item being
requisitioned.
What Is needed is a separate
budget for the elementary school
and the high school. This would
make it possible for this school
to obtain the numerous small
items incidental to its efficient
operation without recourse to
the clerk of the Board.
Equally desirable, in view of
the apparent confusion regard
in gthe, routing of the busses, is
consolidated routing of the
busses rather than the township
system which is presently in eff
feet.
These are simply two of the
problems which indicate the
need for a complete examina-
ton of our new school system,
development of which has been
so rapid that it can no lonegr
be administered as single
school unit.
AS parents and taxpayers, we
submit what is needed Is an i'm
partial, professional appraisal of
these operating problems.
Representatives of this group
met with Clyde Hissong, State
Director of Education, on Octo-
Der 29th at Columbus, and were
informed that upon request from
our local school board, expert
advice on budget, transportation
planning, and other problems,
was available without charge.
According to DR.. Hissong, this is
one of the primary functions of
the State Department of Educa-
ton.
AS an alternative, similar ser
vices are obtainable from Kent
State University at a nominal
fee.
1t is respectfully urged that
these matters be given immedi-
ate attention to permit their in
clusion in the appropriation to
be made in January, 1876.

cause for their cooperative eff

agreeable method of operation.
We are aware that the operat-

consolidated schools are not
simple. However, in September,
1858, new West Geauga unit is
scheduled to open. This will add
to the administrative burden.
In view of these facts, it would
seem prudent to get our present

The Call For Honest Leadership

Ours is the acute situation which requires not only
only honesty in government but honesty in leader
ship if would into the heritage of what have
really gained hard years of struggle and sacrifice
Frederick Douglass in another era bravely chal-
enged in the open those who would impede the strides
of his people He laid down principle definite that it
serves unto this present day bulwark to liberty.
AS the times change and old ideals uprooted for
the new, it becomes imperative the days by
that keep pace if would make those gains in the
field of government essential to welfare and the
enjoyment of our liberties.
Within the last few years, we have many gains, The
Rooseveltian brought type of leadership in
government upon the These leaders, from the
Supreme Court down to the states General Assem-
bes began to assert plainly the doctrine of Human
Rights We the white primary go the rocks, the
Gaines brought closer the equalization of education
the Prmus King stripped many of the open in
frngements claimed by the so-called States Fighters
and day by day there is assertion Of the liberal and
modern thinkers registered upon the forum of public
opinion against legal segregation.
To meet these issues face to face must have that
honesty in leadership among own group that cannot
be questioned We need today who able to stand
by honest convictions and to promulgate opinions
modified by the quibble of personal expediency - .
A day and new order are an the making; we
will be looked to as defenders of the great gains
friends making for We must prove worthy of pro-
gresSive measures.
We cannot come into the precious heritage of racial
integrity as long have questionable leadership,
founded upon fear and thriving compromise.

BEACON JOURNAL.
''The Militant Group"
Speaking in Akron last Sunday Winthrop Rookie
feer gave good to question as to the speed
with which race relations be improved.
"He said that patience is necessary because the
deepseated preudices and customs of millions OF people
can't be changed overnight.
However, he added, there are times when miltancy
is necessary-when must speak out boldly and
firmly against specific determinations which
justifiable
SIN the continuing fight to achieve for the Negroes
in the United States the rights which have generally
been denied them the National Association for the Ad
vancement of Coored People has been leader for many
years
It is quick to point the finger at njustices 1t pro-
yides advice and counsel for individuals whose rights
have been trampled on
"The NAACP is the indispensable militant in
fuence in the long effort to improve relations In
this role it sometimes finds itself associated with
welcome bedfeows-radical groups which seek to
the credit of the associations leaders that they have
consistently and successfully fought off the influence
and subverson of groups like the Communists which are
more interested in creating tensions than in solving
them.
with both white and Negro people in it's member
ship the NAACP has shown that it is possible to be
militant without being RADICAL to fight hard within the
bounds of our laws and the Constitution.
"The association is now engaged in its annual mem
bership campaign This is it's chief of financial
support Those who sympathze with its high purpose
and effective efforts will want to join.

Too many preachers | find today
Claiming Holiness to began
With three and four children in
their charge
And the missionary can't let in.
Money lovers are robbing the
churches
I mean lovers of money today
Church members paying their way
to hell
And the world is going astray.
You claim you own a part in Christ
To get three and four churches in
hand
On judgment day when Christ re-
Will you be able to stand?
Your cover is too short for you
And your feet are out in the cold
When you have fail to feed Gods
people
What will become of your soul.
You cannot hide from Gods people
You are fooling yourself as we'll
When Jesus returns to judge the
world
For you it will be heaven or hell.
A great big man on this side
And on the other side it is soul
All money lovers will surely see
1t is hell for you all below.
You are filling Gods house with
programs
And it is the word of God the
people need
Christian starring for the word OF
God
And the lovers of money in the
lead.
Money lovers are reading the pro-
gram
Of the Spiritual food for men
Bossing three and four churches
today
And following | am holy man.
Jesus said to Peter three times you
see
Feed my people are you right
Any one believe this message today
Can the lovers of money win this
fight.
The love of money is the root of
all evil

And tell me if you obey the words
| shall look for such words some
time.
