On Inteeration And Equality

Here in Jackson the other day the Legal Advisory
Committee on Education up with the recommended
ton to abolish the states public school system in order
to prevent "integration' of the public schools.
The state Conference of Branches of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
cording to it's President Dr. E. j. Sringer of Columbus
is planning to petition the school authorities to allow
Negro students to attend White schools in September
a for "integration''
The Legal Advisory Committee on Education looks
to special session of the state Legislature in Septem
Der to carry out its plan for aboshng the public schools
in order to prevent ''integration."
The United States Supreme Court in its decision de-
cared segregation in the public schools unconstitutional
1t is significant in regard to the current discussions
how to prevent and how to implement "integraton"
that the United States Supreme Court after declaring
segregation unconstitutional told the lawyers to
back this October and perhaps later in order to
explain to the court their understanding of its
ing and so the court obviously give the lawyers
further understanding to its meaning.
All of the arguments in regard to the abolition of
segregation law based the fact that segregation
in fact inequality. The Constitution of the United
States guarantees to all American citizens equality under
the law with out reference to the word integration
Since the Supreme Court has only declared segrega-
ton unconstitutional it to that all concerned
might we'll wait until the United States Supreme Court
has had it's last say in regard to the subject

teachers. Their resolution asked
that funds for increased salaries
he apportionel on an objective
formula, the money to be admin
istered by the United States Office
of .ducation and channeled
through the regular state educa-
tional agencies.
The resolution on Segregation
and Indignation in the public
schools stated that the principal
embodied in the recent decision of
the U. S. Supreme Court with re-
gard to racial segregation is re-
Elected in long established prac-
tees of the NEA." The resolution
continued that, "all problems Of
Indignation in the public schools
are capable of solution by citizens
of intelligence, saneness and rca-
sonableness."
The National Education Associ-
atoms convention which was COM
posed of more than eleven hundred
departmental, divisional, state and
principal sessions is one of the lar
gest meetings held annually by
any organization in the United
States. A number of the meetings

YOU MUST THINK RIGHT
TO LIVE 1T
A half ripe woman is hell a mile
You had better leave her alone
When you marry her looking for a
wife
Most every day she is gone.
She will marry a car, buggy
and horse
All for every way for her to ride
That is what she loves is what
you've got
And everyday she is trying to hide.
You had better look before you
jump
Slide down the trunk of the tree
Most limbs are rotten from bottom
to top
So you had better listen to me.
An old road is hard and solid
With just hole now and then
But new road is Doggy and muddy
And bad from end to end.
Old man you had better look out
If you are a widow and have
plenty of money
A half ripe woman will! marry you
And sooner or later your work is
doom
The eye sight that God has given
to man
He is loosing it every day
The eye doctors are making glasses
now
And showing this is the way.
These doctors are giving men two
sights
One short and the other one long
Jesus gave man only one sight
Then he went back to his fathers
throne.
The Father gave his son to die
For the redeeming of those who
were lost
All who would believe on him
Because righteousness must boss.
Righteousness exorts a Nation
But sin is a reproach to all
God sent his son to redeem us
We must answer to his call.
My people can you see your
wrongs
Jesus Christ is the man
We must lift him up before the
world
If we expect to ever stand.
