The matter of facilities enters into the
high school question even more prominently
than il enters into the primary and interme-
date schools At this higher level, the pupil
himself may become conscious of needs which
cannot be satisfied at the school which he Is
attending and which can be satisfied at anoth-
er school. To this student, 1t Is not a matter
of white school or a Negro school but mat
ter of a nearer and more convenient school OF
a school with superior facilities.
If he is attracted to business and a ca
reer in the business world he may find out
that he can learn tipping in one school IN the
ninth grade but have to wait till he gets into
the twelfth in another Or he may discover
that he may study shorthand only when he
reaches the twelfth grade in one school where
he can begin in the tenth in another, Or, he
may discover that only limited quota of stu
dents may study the commercial subjects in
his school because of limited equipment. and
he consequently may want to enter a school
where he stands a better chance of getting
his choice of courses.
The same situation may arise with the
sciences when the student finds that labora-
tory facilities are lacking or mediocre in his
own school, but fully adequate in another
nearby high school. He may be interested in
language and find that he can't get what he
wants in his own school but could in another,
None of these things require map study. They
require attention to the needs of the individ-
ual student as far as he wants them and can
be given them in an institution which is not
too overcrowded to accept him.
In general, sheer habit and Discrimination
to change will cause the majority of students
to stay where they are if consideration is Civ
en- those who want a change and whose ed
vocational needs seem to require it.
The primary need here is for a study of
the pupil and not a study of a map. Map
study is an important item in determining
population numbers, densities directions, and
trends when a building program is in pros
pect, but it has little bearing on attention to
individual needs when we have a given set of
buildings.

First Steps In Indignation

The early stages OF Indignation viii oil
necessity make use of existing institutions
No special study of maps by school boards
is necessary 10 locate these institutions ana
determine what use is 70 be made 81 them'
For this purpose. the research would seem To
be thorough and conscientious study OF the
educational needs OF individuals seeking to
enter or to transfer 10 a given school such
study is cuStomarily the function OF the
building principal, subject of course to the
supervision and checking Of the superintendent
and the board \ dissatisfied citizen can 60
still further and carry his ease to court as has
been done on occasion,
This is particularly true in the elementary
school Except where race enters the question,
distance has usually been the first factor con-
sidered in passing upon the admittance Of pri-
mary and intermediate children to a school,
Facilities come in for second consideration. A
map is not needed to tell people when a pupil
is passing one school to get to another. Mel
ther is map needed to discover that a given
pupil is attending a school without sanitary
facilities-such as toilets, drinking water
screens and so on when he can march around
the corner to a nearby school equipped thoro-
tughly with all these facilities.
In the high school, slight different sit
uation arises. There are not enough pros
pective pupils for junior and senior high
schools to permit them to be as widely dis
tributed and as close to the homes of patrons
as in the case of elementary pupils. Still
however, no map study is necessary to de-
termne when a given student is passing one
school to get to another without any worthy
purpose being served. That is no map study
by the board is necessary The building prin-
cipal again passes on the facts, subject to the
superintendent who in turn is subject to the
board. Since the board is responsible to the
courts and to the public at election time, re-
dress is always feasible for the dissatisfied
citizen.

If Russia Demands A Showdown
Where viii That Put American
BY Lauren White

The United States has a population of
about 150000,000, Through the efforts of this
population, (and their ancestors) this country
has attained a position of world leadership.
We have more money more labor-saving de-
vices, more instruments of warfare and more
general know-how than any other nation.
But the United States has not mastered
the art al getting along with other nations.
Arrogance and color prejudice have not en-
deared her to the other nations of the world
Recent events in Western Europe and Asia
impress that fact upon US Should war come,
we would have no strong nation as an ally
Russia has a population of about 300
O000OO, Through various methods, she con-
trolls about 5000O0000 more inhabitants
Russia doesn't have the money, lahor-savinE
devices, or general knowhow, that we have,
but she does have infinitely more people.
These people are capable Of acquiring every
advantage we have With these ADVANTAGES
more man power and intense dislike, the UNt-
ed States would not be in a very good pog,,
ton.

President Eisenhower and Vice President
Nixon are aware of this condition. They are
trying to do something about it, too, Recent
ly they appealed to the nations business and
labor leaders for more help in the admins
trations program to end employment discrim-
ination among whites and Negroes In their
message to business and labor leaders two
points were stressed:
First the growing industrial might of
this country requires the largest possible re-
serve of skilled manpoWer.
Second in the world struggle for the
minds of men, Americas position of leadership
makes it mandatory that we not be subject
to the charge of racial prejudice which is be-
ing hurled at us every day by the Commu-
nists."
The leaders of our country's government
know what is happening in the world They
know how desperately we would need every
talent and every skill possessed by every
American in case a showdown with Russia
comes up.
