Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-02-14

around 1890 Saturday night,
shortly after he was summoned by
some excited residents who lived
near the campus.
On the scene early Sunday morn
ing, assisting Bessemer Detectives
Lawton Grimes, ST., and Eubanks,
were President William Thomas of
the Bessemer Branch NAACP,
Atty. David H. Hood, Jr., legal adj
wiser for the local branch, DR.. J.
w. Letson, superintendent of city
schools and a Birmingham World
reporter.
Detective Grimes said it may
have been certain people who would
like to hinder the building pro-
grams for Negro schools which in
clude the new addition to the Car
yer school, and the completed
plans for the construction of the
new 100000 building for Dunbar
High school to be located on the
Brick Yard Hill in South Besse-
mer.
DR.. Letson made known, also,
that the Board recently purchased
ten acres of vacant land around
the Carver school, costing some
$4,000 for purpose of building a
park and a baseball field for the
children.
One of the residents who sum-
moned Prof Cobb told police that
when he first saw the cross burn
ing, he saw two men hurriedly
drive away from the campus in
1850 Ford car. He stated that,
had he been aware of what was
going on, he could have blocked
the speeding automobile with his
car. He said he just had pulled
up in front of his home across the
street when some neighbors in his
car noticed the blazing cross. At
first, he said one of the occupants
in his auto thought it was the
schools janitor burning trash. He
said they were unaware until the
unidentified car sped off.

may be expected.

may De expected.
Mr.. Naylor reports a constant
movement of population toward
urban centers, largely due to me-
chanization of farm operation and
increased cattle and tree farming.
AS result many rural schools are
all but empty, the populations
having moved to the city.
"We are having to conduct care
full surveys and determine where
best to locate the new consolidated
schools" Mr.. Naylor says.
Newsmen who have viewed pic
lures of new schools are amazed at
the modernistic buildings and in
teriors of the classrooms of the
new schools which are beng erected
in many counties of the state.
Mr.. Naylor reports that archi-
tects are preparing plans for many
types of buildings, but the better
features of modern school build
ings are Incorporated in the new
structures in this state.
"We have substantial school
buildings, but we are putting more
emphasis on attractive interiors
and disable facilities for the stu
dents than on ornate eXteriors of
buildings" Naylor sets forth.
He says that costs of construc-
ton of the schools, even to the
finest recently erected in this state
are well below the national average
levels.
"The cost of school buildings in
this state has varied from approx
mately So per square foot to 81
square foot" he cites. "The
average cost will run from Sc to
81 square foot. The national
average runs between $11 and $13
a square foot"
He set out that buildings in the
South are not required to have
some heating equipment that is
required for schools in the North
and East and there may be other
reasons for lower construction
costs in this far-southern state.
In 1851, it was estimated that
$144, 900, 900 is needed in this state
to modernize the school facilities
and make them adequate. Approx
mately $50, school children were
in school buildings considered I'M
satisfactory. Some 100000 were
attending school in buildings need
ing remodeling and rehabilitating
1t is also interesting to note that
some 1850 classrooms in this state
were not full and 1850 were not
more than one-half full. This indi-
Gates that people are moving from
rural areas, leaving empty class
rooms, while urban classrooms
bulge with new students.
Mr.. Naylor said that it is adj
vised that schools not be erected
in areas where populations are
shifting and moving away.
Careful studies should be made
before schools are erected. They
cannot be moved. So it is urged
that construction wait until popu-
lations become stable.

districts which did not receive any
state aid.
The legislature in 1916 made it's
first appropriation of 100000
for school buildings. In 1913 an ap-
preparation of 100000 was made
for school buildings.
In 1850, for the first time in
the states history, 100000 was
appropriated by the legislature
for Negro schools only. Again in
1852. 100000 was earmarked for
Negro school and white schools on
a $3.50 basis.
Director Naylor reports that as
new school buildings are erected in
the various counties of the state,
Negro children flock to them in
greater numbers.
EnrOllments appear to be at
tracted by the new and ultramodern
buildings and classrooms being
erected.
In many instances, as at Green
vile, the new Negro schools are
superior to present older white
schools.
Planning for new school build
inds is carefully done with the
view to placing them in popula-
ton centers where full classrooms
