general direction, made valuable
contributions to this store until, at
the present time, st, Croix can
boast of having the finest and
most complete collection Of CarlD
relics in existence. But up to this
point, there was nothing placed
on record to show that any move
was made, under native auspices,
to exploit this grand lead in any
organized manner. AS a matter Of
fact, few people seemed to know
or care anything about the Carib
artifacts; and if there was any
plan on foot to make them the
basis of an archaeological establish
ment, it was never made public.
This, again, had to be accom-
plished through the good offices Of
resident Continental Americans
and their friends, both here and
abroad, supported by an enabling
act and a modest appropriation by
the Municipal Council together
with the valuable encouragement
Of Governor de Castro and a Ii
mited number of forward-looking
native citizens
This is by no means a very
pretty picture for Us to contem-
plate; and as a proud people who
should want to be masters in our
own house, we should't fail to see
what should be our plain duty in
the premises. All our claims to
centuries Of European culture
would just be carried away as a
hollow sound, if we continue to
sit idly by and permit philanthro-
phic and well meaning Continen-
tails to bear the bulk of the respon
sibility of keeping our Museum
alive.
If we have been guilty of cul-
tural negligence in the past, we
now have a splendid opportunity
of redeeming ourselves by doing
all in our power to match the
zeal and interest of these good fell
low-citizens in a manner that
would reflect credit upon us as q
mature and intelligent racole.
Let us all join hand and heart
with the Museum Commission &
friends Of the institution in help
ing it to grow and function as
one of our proudest possessions.
All the brave chatter of which
we can deliver ourselves when il
costs us nothing in time, service,
or pocket should be dispensed
with in the face Of the relentless
march of progress which, for bet
ter, or for worse, is heading our
way with accelerated speed.

Go Into The Highways
BY Charles H. Emanuel sr.

In this country we have
been prone to exult over our
more than $50 years Of Euro
pean culture. From a purely
sentimental point of view
there can be nothing wrong
about this claim, although an
historian of t h e scientific
school would certainly want
to take j S S i e with this
assumption.
In this respect, however, we
do not differ very much from
other colonial peoples in the
Caribbean area, especially in
countries where the trans
planted African forms the
bulk Of the population.
But t h e most provoking
question among the many that
suggest themselves in this
connection is, how much OF
the culture or Europe have we
actually assimilated as a peo-
pie. To be sure, our culture
has been dominantly Euro
pean in complexion, but apart
from the favored few who
have been able fully to appre-
ciate its benefits, the general
mass of the people have been
able to catch but little more
than its spectacular and exter-
nal features.
TO many people so far re-
moved as we are 1lOlll ClAC
heartland of the culture we
have adopted as our own, the
ability to talk glibly about a
Beethoven sonata, a DaVinci
masterpiece, a statue by Phi
dias, a Shakespeare tragedy,
etc, is the very quintessence OF
culture. Yet. ore may dis
course learnedly upon any OF
these fine subjects and still re-
main a thoroughgoing bar
barian.

one that is not good for all, and
that no great realization of life is
possible which does not spring
from the heart Of common.
humanity.
When the higher aspirations of
life are cultivated by a narrow
class isolated from the broad life
of the people, they are devitalized
When culture of any kind does
not embody the life and answer
the need of the mass of the peo-
pie, it is emasculated. Life is in
evitably barren without a deep
and wide social contact with diff
ferent classes.
The situation, evidently is a
call and a challenge for fearless
and consecrated leadership of the
kind that is willing and ready to
to out into the highways of this
good land and fight for a radical
change in our ideals, which would
lead our people to desire more
earnestly to realize the highest
possibilities of their lives. This
would result in the most helpful
changes in our social conditions.
The mere struggle for wealth will
grow less intense, and culture and
science would seek smaller and
humber places as we come to APP
preciate their value in helping us
to live a fuller and richer life.
Many, indeed, are the vantage
points from which such a cultural
crusade could be launched, but /
think Of none better at this time
than our recently established Mu-
scum This institution, as a con
crete reality, is one that is COM
pletely new in the experience of
the people of this island, and de-
spite its tremendous importance
to our community, culturally, eco
nomically, and scientifically, it
will still ~necessitate prolonged
and concentrated orientation of
the average citizen in order to
make him aware Of the DOM ant
role it can play in the construction
of u detail of the general world
civilization.
For the cultured native, especi-
ally, this institution presents a
particular problem in face-saving
and the testing of his cultural
claims. Would to God that this
problem could be graciously
solved, if only for the sake of our
self-respect as a people!
If we had been more alive Gull
turally, if we had possessed a
greater grasp on the way Of life
that was brought to us from
Europe, a museum, as a public in
stitution, would have been a
reality in this island long ere this.
The material for its equipment
was within easy reach and would
have been available just for the
cost of a little excavation into
mother earth. Yet, it was not UNI

True cultural appreciation is
like getting religion. The de-
voice becomes so converted
and so convicted, that a funda-
mental change is made in
both his thought and action.
The tenets of the particular
cult appeal to him with such
force that he is willing to go
to any length to defend them
and to make any sacrifice in
the propagation Of his creed
so that others may participate
in his experience and share in
the exaItation Of spirit which
he feels.
Nobody will pretend that we
have arrived at this desirable
stage in our cultural development.
The reasons for this are many and
varied. Sufficient to say, however,
that one of the chief deterrents IN
this respect is failure on our part
to become apostles of the cultural
faith that lies within us to the ex-
tent of trying to make it a power
in the lives of others.
Besides, we have placed such a
stamp Of exclusiveness upon all
that we deem of cultural imnort
and have surrounded it with such
an atmosphere Of pedantic foggi-
ness, that it would appear, to the
initiated, that only those who
dwell in marble halls could hope
to be touched by its b~enefcient
influences.
This is one O fthe most common
social errors that have frightened
away the general mass of the
common people from what they
have been conditioned to believe
is something reserved for "high-
brows" alone, or "long-haired
stuff" as they sometimes call it
in derision, but more often in con-
tempt. Is it any wonder, then, that
the disorientated people have be-
come a law unto themselves and
are now threatening, like a blind
Samson, to pull down the walls of
our cultural temples upon our
heads?
This alone should convince us

Experimental
Polio Vaccine
.IsReadyNow
BY FRANK CAREY
AP Science Reporter

MIAMI. Fla. R-Ferfection Of
an experimental polio vaccine to
a point justifying Inauguration Of
plans for nationwide vaccination
tests on hundreds Of thousands Of
children, perhaps early next year
was announced today.
It's the vaccine whose develop
ment first was announced last
spring by DR.. Jonas E. Salk of the
University Of Pittsburgh, working
under a March of Dimes grant.
Today's announcement consti'
tutes first word tnat it is now
ready--as soon as details can be
worked out-for the supreme test
which will determine whether il
can ultimately be released for
general use.
II was disclosed that additional
preliminary research on humans
since last spring has greatly
strengthened hopes for the vac
cine.
He explained that the human
tests conducted so far repeatedly
demonstrated that the VACCINE can
produce in man antibodies theo-
retically protective against the ma
jor viruses of polio-and also dem
|onstrated the safety If the vaccine
itself.
But he emphasized that it's now
necessary to determine whether
the vaccine can actually protect
against the disease in nature.
Immediately after he spoke, the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, which is supporting the
vaccine research, announced inau.
guration of plans for a nationwide
test, and a spokesman told a re.
porter the March Of Dimes or.
ganization had earmarked $780,
900 for the purpose.
A foundation spokesman said
that details would have to be
worked out with public health de-
partments, medical societies,
schools and other organizations.
But this much was made known:
/. It Is hoped that the study can
begin early next year.
