DR.. Harold A. Haynes, first as
sistant superintendent, proposed
the conversion and will soon pre-
sent a formal recommendation
for it.
One of 2 Technical Schools.
Armstrong, at First and o
streets NV, is one of the citys
two technical high schools. Until
last fall it was part OF the old
Negro division, but under inte-
grafton it has been tentatively
slated to be merged with McKin-
ley High School, the technical
school of the white division.
Some officials have expected that
Armstrong would be closed.
DR.. Haynes has long been con-
cerned with the large number
of drop-outs among high stu
dents, particularly in the Negro
division, which for the last sew
eral years he has headed.
School officials recently have
also become increasingly alarmed
at the large numbers of retarded
and emotionally maladjusted
children for whom no special
provision is being made. The Star
last week revealed that more
than 1000 retarded children are
now in regular classes in elemen-
tary schools alone. and there are
additional hundreds at the sec
ondary level.
Problem to Community.
Many such children, unable
to learn properly in present
classes, leave school long be-
fore finishing and become prob
lem to the community because
they have not acquired sufficient
skills to hold jobs. Frequently
they become delinquency cases
and wind up in court.
Under DR.. Haynes proposal,
Armstrong would offer a spe-
cially designed set of courses for
these pupils. The school would
offer neither technical courses
nor trade courses such as those
at the city's vocational schools.
but a program specifically
planned for children needing
special help. The program

VIEWS
By FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK (GlobaD When
Arch Ward conceived the idea OF
an annual baseball game played
by stars. voted on by fans. from
each of the leagues, he came up
with a good one.
II must have been rewarding
TO him 10 see the all-sfar game
become a national classic. and
il was significant that he was
given final rites on the very
day this years game was played
But Arch Wards idea had AT
effect which he probably never
dreamed OF. After Negroes were
allowed in the major leagues, q
game was never held without a
Negro in the lineup.
This was significant for a
number of reasons. Not only
did il prove that NEGROES wee
big league material. but II
showed also that the fans want
10 see stars play. whatever their
color. and they can forget par
fisanship for one afternoon and
root for their leagues repre-
sentative. whether he comes
from a rival team or not. and
whatever his color.
And so. Arch Ward did a great
thing for baseball when he pro.
posed the all-star game. But he
also did a fine thing for race re-
lations. since this has provided an
opportunity for fans to speak out
and name their favorites.
This they have done and their
choices Of the best--regardless Of
race-have been most eloquent.
