Are Negroes Missing
The Boat Educationally?

Now that school days are about here again and
thousands upon thousands of promising young men and
women will be making their way to classrooms in
high schools colleges and universities the question arises
what phases of learning will they pursue
Since the days of Emancipation, the teaching pro.

professional training than any other field Since the r
ing of the Supreme Court removing the bars of
cation in public schools there developed school of
thought that greater opportunities will be offered Negro
school teachers than before That may true
to but of today the teaching field for the
Negro is over crowded The highly mechanical age in
which living undoubtedly offers the Negro his
greatest opportunity for employment
We must have school teachers, physicians dentists
lawyers minister's and the like but when direct all of
educational interests toward white collar education
and ignore the industrial and technical fields in this
age, then the Negro is missing the boat The call long
and loud for highly trained technicans electricians
brckayers cement workers, carpenters and in every
field in this highly ndustriazed More than three
quarters of century General Armstrong advanced
the theory of teaching Negroes to work with their hands
and heads. Hampton and Tugkegee are towering monu
ments of that kind of thinking.
The soundness of mems thinking is proven with
the passing of the years, such General Arm
strong and Booker T. Washington gave us philosophy
for the training of the Negro which sens
be practical and reasonable any other theories
vanced before since that time.
People of other races are seeing the wisdom of
skilled training in the various fields of industry,
mercia farming and other technical fields They are
seeing the soundness and of the independent
and enjoyable rural life There se.eral colleges
which founded upon the belief that the promise OF
youth should be plowed back into productive soils of
developed regions. America is still two-thirds rural
acreage and the possibilities there limitless.
And too, the student could easily place the wrong
emphasis the teaching profession and fail to grasp
the Significance Importance and dignity of the highly
trained techncian and industriast. Their attention
should be called to the vast number highly trained
literary scholars, who year after year. employment

The larger cities filled with people this type 1t
is not with the craftsman. Generally the work is his
for the asking because of the great demand for people OF
his training
So, as our promising young men and women plan
their educational pursuits, they will do well to think
seriously of obtaining training that will not only render
the public great service, but will also give them
assurance of immediate economic security.

high for the great majority
of people. State and local poll
taxes for a year amount only
to about ITO of a cent a
day. If you have to catch up
the whole three years at one
time, it's more, of course,
but most people can still af-
ford it.
And if it's true, as some
people state, that the pur-
pose of the poll tax is to
limit the number of voters
why, the best way to get
your revenge is to qualify to
vote.

That hum you hear is the
distant echo of political ar
guments preceding the Fall
election.
We have been surprised to
learn that many of the people
who discuss politics with
such interest never go to the
polls.
Now, why isn't a person
interested enough to vote,
if he's interested enough to
talk?
1t really isn't too much
trouble to go to the polls.
The polls are open ali day.
Most people, even though
they must work on Election
Day, can reach the polling
place before or after work.
Even if your corn does hurt.
you can make it there.
Maybe you hear people
saying, Its all cut and
dried, anyhow. My vote does
MT count" Well, it's a known
fact that it won't count if ii
isn't cast.
You hear a lot of stories
about the one vote that de-
cided an election. You hear
them so often that they
sound "corny". But you
should realize that they are
repeated so often because
they're true.
S o m e t i m S minority
| groups are hesitant about
exercising their franchise
This seems extremely odd
After each election they
must surely see the detailed
analysis which appears in
all the papers, showing
where votes were cast anc
how many. When minority
groups can be shown to vote
in large numbers they can
WELD great political influ-
ence.
In Virginia, only $40 OF
the adults cast votes in the
last Presidential election.
To be sure that was $40
of the qualified voters. But
almost any Virginia adult
can qualify to vote. Your
registration is permanent, so
you only have to register
once. You may not approve
of the poll tax, but that
shouldn't make you give UP
your privilege of voting. The
cost of the poll tax isn't too

Small Hospital Differs
Being director in a small hos

ferent from in a large one," says
Miss johnson. "All the troubles
are brought to any one who is
director in a small hospital. I
must see about the basement, the
elevators, the fans on the roof
and any other thing that goes
wrong, as well as making the
rounds of the patients twice a
day and having the responsible

happiness.
II learned long ago, that if
those under you know that you
can do. and have done what they
do, and if you listen to them
when they come to you with their
problems, you get cooperation.
"This morning, we were so
busy in surgery that a girl,
scheduled to go off at II o'clock,
asked if would like her to stay
until $3.50. That is just an ex-
ample of the loyalty of my staff.

loyal. You feel you can entrust
