A Tribute
BY MARIE BOYKIN

I like to think of Mary
Church Terrell when I first
saw her in the vigor of full
maturity mature, physically,
spiritually and intellectually.
In the teens OF the 10th
Century Mary Church stood
almost alone among women:
certainly there was no other
woman in our group who had
had the opportunity OF her
special education at home and
abroad and who was able at
home to give to the race and
community the benefit of her
very fine personality and at
tainmentS.
She was admirably fitted to
be the wife Of a Judge. and

The state has asked permits

Court. Tennessee's brief is ex-
pected TO suggest that school,
children be integrated gra-
oually, beginning with the
first grade and moving up
through the grades as the
years pass. Said State Solicit
tor General Allison B. Hum

regstion) was settled by de-

schools will stay segregated
for this semester, at least
Oklahoma public schools
have taken no action to end
segregation this semester, but
Roman Catholic parochial
schools are mixing 1000 coll
ored pupils with $4,000 whites.
Arkansas has said it will
comply with the Supreme
Court deision, but school dis
tricts are not compelled to act
this semester, and almost
none have. One that did was
Fayetteville, Ark, which will
lntegrate twelve colored high
school students as an econ
omy move. Fayetteville had
been bearing the cost of
boarding the dozen students
so miles away at Fort Smith,
site Of the nearest colored
high school.
Missouri has left the ques-
ton of segregation this Sc
up to local school
boards. A few have acted, and
the others are submitting
long-range desegregation plans
to state officials. st Louis will
end segregation this fall in
two city-owned teachers col
leges and in its schools for
the handicapped; high-schooi
segregation will end next Sc
mester and elementary school
segregation next fall.
