TURN OF CENTURY SAW
FIRST SUCCESSFUL
ELECTRIC RANGE

Back in the 1905 there was a
lot of talk about cooking with cleo
tricity, and any number of men
tried their hands at making cleo
trio stoves but it was not
until after the turn of the CEN
fury that electric cooking was made
practical. The main obstacle was
the lack of a suitable metal to
make resistance wire that would
stand up under high temperature.
An important step toward over
coming this difficulty was made in
19O5-06, when A. L. Marsh develop
ed metal alloy combining nickel
and chromium. This has been the
basis of electric heating ever since,
although the alloy has been inn
proved many times.
The man who started the electric
range industry on the road to sue
cess was George A Hughes, a utility
man in North Dakota. Believing
that electric cooking was practical,
he went to Chicago and built five
ranges, which he displayed at the
r .,xt.
in 1910. Afterward, he form
ed his own company, continued to
make ranges, and carried on a
campaign to get the electric ranges
accepted.
In 1918, Hughes company was
consolidated with the Hotpoint Co..
and domestic heating division of

Gus Improvement of electric heat
ing units. For surface cooking
open coils were gradually replaced
by enclosed type units in which
the resistance wire was protected
About 1926 they adapted an inclosed
unit to the electric range and
soon after, the age of speed in elec-
trio cooking began. Later improve
ments in heating units gave them
greater efficiency, speed and much
longer life.
Meanwhile. the design and con-
struction of electric ranges were
radically changed. A milestone was
passed in 1928 when the first all
porcelain enamel range was intro
dueed. Table-tops We're developed

What Are They Talking About?-

transfer is the head of the school district
Mixing never happens in a segregated seh)o
but 1t may or may not happen in an inte-
grated school, Indignation relieves the stigma
of segregation but it does not always relieve
the fact of separation. OF course, while the
head of the district is the agent of admis-
sion or transfer, he is amenable to the law.
That is the advantage of living in democra-
cy. Everything must be carried out accord
ing to the law except of course in a few
states!
In defining indignation we referred to
district lines, The courts will probably find
that the anti-segregation decision automati-
cally froze district lines. Agents of chaleng-
ed changes will have to show CAUSE
The word "desegregated" is coming into
popular use. People use this term for one of
two reasons to indicate that segregation
has been eliminated as a PRINCIPLE or to
indicate that the school is mixed You can
never be sure what is behind the word
Several prominent educators have used
the term pattern of segregation or integra-
tion.' The general meaning here is, when
speaking OF Indignation, that local procedures
may legally vary. For example, Fayetteville
has mixed its high school pupils because that
is an economic advantage to the community
and an educational advantage to the colored
pupils. 1t saw no immediate necessity for
mixing the elementary pupils, but its action
on the high school INDICATED its good faith
The schools for blind and deaf in Little Rock
followed different pattern. They permit Ne
groes to enroll wherever enrolment is neces-
sary for their good, roughly, and they equal
lied teacher salaries. Patterns of indignation
may vary, but there will be pattern similar
ity in districts with similar problems Such
a problem is the districts in twenty counties
which, like Fayetteville have too few Negro
educables to make the erection of a Negro
high school feasible
separate but equal is a fiction which
hardly exists anywhere in fact Some folk
who want to talk without offending white peo-
pie by saying "integrated" and without Of
lending Negroes by saying separate but
equal have hit on the device of talking about
quality schools. 1t can't be done buddy:
somebody Will get hot no matter what you do
so why not do right, and SAY right,
Arkansas State press., 1954-07-16
BY s. S. Taylor

Some of the words connected with prac
tees of indignation and segregation are SC
loosely used that it might not be inappro'
PIRATE to reflect on their meanings exact
and suggested.
The term, segregation, leads the field
because it is the name of practice which
has had considerable vogue When the term
segregation" is used, however, it means more
than separation. A person is segregated when
he is compelled by law to stay within pre-
scribed area. Requirement based on law or
custom and accompanied by some type dof
compulsion is meant when the word "segre-
cation" is used
"Co-raeialn and mixed" mean pretty
much the same thing. In each case it is in
tended to express the meaning that both Ne
groes and white people may be found in the
same institution. When the words co-racal or
mixed are used, there is no attempt or in
tenton to indicate the cause or consequence
of mixing merely to record the fact without
any kind of evaluation.
Indignation" refers to whether or not
mixing may occur in a school. Indignation
does not always mean that school IS mix
ed or 'co-racial" Indignation refers more to
the legal status of the school as regards at
tendance by members of different races. Ac-
tual mixing may depend on one or more fact
OrS.
For example, taking the present district
lines as standard, an integrated school could
not refuse to accept pupil because of his
race alone IF HE LIVED WITHIN THE DIS
IRlCT BOUNDARIES But even though he
lived within the district boundaries he could
be denied admission to his district school if
he were over q, had a contagious disease or
there was contagious disease in his home
Numerous other reasons might come to furn-
lsh legal ground for refusal of admission,
regardless of color. The sole prohibition of the
law is that no student be refused because of
color He may be colored and refused admis-
sion, but 1t must be for reason other than
color. Moreover, white child living in a col
ored district may be transferred out of his
district II there is cause other than color for
the transfer. That is regularly done every
where In schools all over the country It is
reported that it used to be done a lot in
Chicago
