the Incompatible Pavlova and
Karsavina of Diaghilev's fame.
The year 1888 produced three ba-
by ballerinas, pupils of Kchessin-
skaya and Preobrajenska, who
took American by storm and start
ed the vogue of ballet for our
young talented 8artists. Danilova,
the recognized prima ballerina,
Markova, the miniature Pavlova,
were shining examples. Kaye ap-
peared with her dramatic ability;
Alfonso, floating in space; High
tower, Meyer, Slavenska, Gollner,
the sisters Tallchief.
Chapter fifteen deals with Fon-
teyn, Queen of the Saddler's Wells
Ballet and Shearer of "The Red
Shoes" fame. The Iron Curtain u
anova also makes herself known
as a ballerina, but we see her in
pictures only.
In the last chapter Mr.. Terry
glorifies the Usage Indian, our own
American Queen of the Dance, Ma
ria Tallchief, whose virtuosity and
power of Interpretation would sur
prise the first Queen of France who
adored the ballet and was dancer
herself.

When questioned on details of the pro-
gram he advocated an indignation panelist
voiced. among other ideas, the belief that
there could be danger of the destruction OF
our school system,
The possibility has been voiced before II
is usually voiced as a threat TO remind Ne
groes Ia slow down in their requests for bet
ter educational facilities or face loss OF all
public education. 1t is akin to the related
threat = : that you may lose jobs if you keep
ON asking for adequate schools, 1t is the age
old method of winning an argument by MAX
inc the other fellow afraid to present his
case.
To most thinkers destruction of the pub
liz school system does not seem To BE- prob
ability in the states which reputedy advocate
il and hardly seems a possibility elsewhere.
In the first place Just what do we mean
by destruction of the public school SYSTEM
Do we mean the switching Of the schools In
to private control while still supporting them
with public funds regardless OF whether
the support is by tax or by susidy? Or do we
mean abolishing the public school system IN
reality : lock stock and barrel, taking the
public schools completely out of the budget,
If we mean the first method private
control with public support, that is manifest
" so illegal that it will be repudated by the
courts as fast 1t Is done, II VIII DE al
obvious effort to circumvent the decision oil
the Court by Subterfuge 1t will go the
wav Of the "blaek code, the grandfather
clauses the white primary" and all other de-
vices manifestly intended and invented for de-
featinp the law 1t is inconceivable that the
intelligent leaders of any part of the country
would lend themselves to such device at
the present time.
The second alternative complete and
unqualified destruction of our public school
system makes more sense than does priv
ate control with public support Our schools
have number of defects These are obvious
and need not be enumerated here Maybe, IL
we got rid of the system we could get rid Of
those defects.
But it is hardly likely that We will get
rid of our public schools Who would get rid
of them? It is true that wealthy white peo-
pie could get along without them But aver
age Negroes las we'll as wealthy ones could
also If you doubt it, private elementary and
high schools have never had much difficulty
filling up with Negro pupils. All the local

Who Will Destroy The Public SchooIs?-

colleges once ran elementary and secondary
departments. They did not abandon them be-
cause of lack of patronage, The Negro mas
been used to pay" schools. Negro parents
have gone without bread to send their chill
dren to private schools.
The great majority of the votes are con-
trolled by the average and poor whites
Destruction of the public schools will depend
first on the votes of this majority. What are
they likely to do? Their attitude is depicted
by Alan Patton lin the October IS Collier p.
CD.
Patton says, Il met white sharecropper
in Greenville a humble aristocratie-ooking
man.
"Tve suffered all my life through having
no education he told me- but my children are
going to have it, no matter what kind of
school
" My children won't 60 to any mixed
school, said the sharecropper Well have
private schools
"But he did not offer private schooling to
the sharecropper also"
The very poor white, like the very poor
Negro, viii not likely to vote for the abolition
of the public schools.
Out of loyalty to the south, the poor
white fought along side the slave owner in the
war between the states. But the greatest in
dctment of slavery was written not by Har-
riet Beecher Stowe or by a northerner but by
southern so-called poor white, Hinton
Rowan Helper, Read his book! Helper was
from one of the Carolnas and his indictment
of the system was so terrific that two things
happened % its publication was suppressed
CD the Republican party republished it as
campaign document If the southern poor
white had been able to read then as he is
able now, the slave holders would never have
been able to muster up enough poor whites
to fight for slavery The free laborer suffer-
ed almost as much from slavery as the slave
laborer did.
The picture will become clearer as we
look at the unions The labor unions have
taken in Negro laborers faster than the
chambers of commerce have BY the same
token, the poor whites" will not be likely to
lend themselves as mass to any movement
for the destruction of the schools which mean
so much to them.
The mass of evidence indicates that the
public schools will be around for a long time
everywhere.

AS a relatively few diehards fight despe-
rately against desegregation in some of our
public schools, one cannot help but extend
word of sympathy to those who would seek
to perpetuate the system which they have
been brought up to believe is their birthright
The child who has been spoiled beyond be-
lief: who has stuck his tongue out at every
body and found safe haven behind his moth
er's skirt, finds it difficult to grow up.
Segregation has been the prize southern
politicians have dangled before the eyes OF
their constituents for generations now. They
didn't have to promise much in the way OF a
living or working conditions or education
They lust promised that poor white children
would not have to go to school with Negro
children; that the poor white woman would
not have to sit next to a Negro on Il bus;
that the poor white mans job would be safe
because Senator Blowhard would keep Negro
es in their place Fortunately, the more in
telligent ones outgrew all this, and a more
enlightened south has for some time been
moving intellectually toward Indignation, The
Supreme Court ruling has provided them the
support they need.
But desegregation is a hard thing to &C
cept for the person whose only claim to
fame has been that his skin is white; whose
ego is fed only by the assurance that he is

Ex-Marine Weeps
On Pleading Guilty
To MansIaughter

A former Marine corporal wept
yesterday, as he pleaded guilty
to a charge of manslaughter in
the death last November IL of
Gus Conidas, 81. of the TOO
block of Third street NV.
Robert B. Hedric, 10. whose
home is in Ohio. pleaded to the
manslaughter charge before
Judge Edward M. Curran of the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Hedric had been indicted on
the more serious charge of
second-d degree murder. The in
dictment charged Hedric with
hitting the victim with his fist
and knocking him to the side
walk. Mr.. Conidas died Of head
injuries.
Witnesses said the victim was
a bystander and was struck by
Hedric at Sixth street and New
York avenue NV, after the
Marine had an argument with a
girl. Hedric was a corporal sta
toned at Quantico, Va, at the
time.
Assistant United States At
torney Harold H. Titus. jr., who
agreed to the lesser plea. de-
clared there appeared to be no
intention to kill"
The facts in the case seemed
more aptly to fit the crime Of
manslaughter rather than sec
ond-degree murder" Mr.. Titus
said.
Judge Curran referred the case
to the probation officer for a pre-
sentence investigation. No date
was set for sentencing. The
maximum penalty for man
slaughter is from S to Is years.
