FACTS OF STATE
BY FELIX A. GRISETTE
State Capital Correspondent

Raleigh. - In one important
category-the number of chill
dren enrolled in the public
schools in ratio to the school age
population-North CAROLYN a
ranks about equal to the national
average. In North Carolina, TITS
per cent of the population be-
tween the ages of SIG are en-
rolled in the public schools. The
comparable figure for the United
States as a whole is 76.1 per cent.
Thus we find our own
State to be about 100 per
cent of the national average,
as compared with only IS per
cent in per capita income.
1t should always be born in
mind that North Carolina has a
much larger percentage of its
population within the school age
bracket than is true for the
country as whole. There are
1,175,809 North Carolinians be-
tween the ages of 5 and 10, which
is about 20 per cent of the States
total population. The comparable
percentage for the country as a
whole is only slightly above %.
This another way of saying that
the school age population in
North Carolina is Is per cent
greater than for the country as
a whole.
Total public school enroll
ment in North Carolina dur
ing 1951-1952, the latest year
for which figures are avail
able, was 914,269, the largest
in the history of the State.
During the current school
year 1953-1954, it will be
larger still, although some
what less than 100000.

cord OF any county IN the OLaIe
in the percentage of its school
age population which is enrolled
in school. The school age popula
ton in the county cages 5-19) is
1902. The total number of Nash
County children in school in
1951-52 was 1895, which is 91.2
per cent of the total. The division
of the enrolment between the
races was 9,125 white, and 8,270
negro.
Montgomery county ranked
second with 1871 per cent
of its school age population
enrolled. Onslow ranked at
the bottom of the list of 100
counties with only 51.78 per
cent of its school age popula-
ton enrolled. This is ex-
planned by the fact that On
slow has large military
population of school age but
who are not in school.
1t is interesting to note that
Orange county, where the Uni
versity of North Carolina is To-
Gated, had one of the worst re-
cords, being third from the
bottom. The total population of
school age in that equity was
1886 and $3.50 were enrolled in
school, or a percentage of 65.96,
only Edgecombe, Onslow, and
Swain being lower. This is par
tally explained by the fact that
some of the school age population
in Orange is enrolled in the Uni
versity rather than in the public
schools.
The ratio of Negro enrolment
to Negro population in North
Carolina is about the same as
for white. Negroes comprise
273,188 of the total public school
enrolment, which is about 80
per cent. Negroes comprise 354,
825 of the school age population,
which is also 80 per cent.
There are 10 counties in which
the non-white population COM
prises so per cent or more of the
total: BERTHE, Edgecombe, Gates,
Halifax, Hartford, Hoke, Martin,
Northampton, Robson, and War
rem. The Negro enrolment in all
these counties, except Robson, is
also higher than the white en-
rollment. The exception in Robe
son is explained by the presence
of heavy Indian population.
There were five counties
with no Negro enrolment at
all in 1951-52-Cherokee,
Clay, Graham, Henderson
and Mitchell.
There are 48 counties in the
State with no city school units,
which means that the 70 city
units are located in SO counties.
There are two counties-Robeson
and Rockingham-which have
three city units within the

fhe number of those who are
now suffering and marked for
death?
This is war against the True
Religion Of Jesus Christ. When will
men in the free world come to real
ize that the crisis of today is first
OF all crisis of religion, that the
communist debaser of man is es-
sentially hater Of God, that his
long-range and his short-range pur-
pose is the destruction Of Christian
ity? From Marx to Malenkoy, the
communist sees Christ as the enc
my to be exterminated.
Is il not, then, the strange anon
ally of our times that calculated
confusion has been able to hide
from so many of our people the
primary, the changeless purpose Of
the enemy? How few there are who
understand that the struggle for
f liberty is a warfare against the fa-
naticai foes of Christi How few
there are who know that millions
of Catholics have already died that
the rest of us might live!
Here is a story of epic nobility,
of unsurpassed human grandeur, of
deathless spiritual devotion. Our
Martyrs and Confessors are the
glory of the age in which we live.
One would have thought that the
western world would rise as one
man to do them reverence, would
write their deeds of valor in letters
of enduring gold. Instead, indiffer-
ence, scant notice or silence. Only
in the Catholic press viii you find
the Martyrology which the histori-
ans of tomorrow will account the
4 greatest glory of today.
Who can now recall the chron-
iclefs of Nero'S day? But the names
of Peter and of Paul have endured
throughout the centuries; above
their tombs rise the noblest tenn
pies of Christendom, and pilgrims
come in multitudes unnumbered to
remember and to pray.
Nor can history be kind to those
men of state who retreated to the
refuge of a polite neutralism while
the crucial battle of our times was
being fought.
History can record only in repro
baton that while Nero ragged in the
East against the true Church of
Christ, the Voltaires of the West
raised their olden cry 'Ecrasez
rInfame" and sought to crush
these valiant fighters for God and
human freedom. Genuine philoso.
ply must list Nero and Voltaire as
allies. History will register the fact
of that alliance in the Warsaw
maneuver which would cut off
from help the champions of the
authentic liberties.
And what shall we say of those
ungenerous men, who in the crisis
of our times have been found SO
sadly wanting-those narrow sec.
tarianS who allowed their petty OF
their imagined grievances to OBJ
| scure the true greatness of our
blessed Martyrs and Confessors?
We shall leave them to God and
to the worm of conscience. as we
pray Father, forgive them for they
know not what they do"
