William Monroe Trotter was
the greatest Crusader of his
time and left a heritage for
coming generations to pond
er over as to whether or not
he lived in vain. We live in a
land of racial disorder and
vast power with a new Deal
leadership who made it di-
miniSh during its regime.
William Monroe Trotter lies
in his grave. While he lived
he was a militant crusader
for Equal Rights!
An apprehensive pseudo leg
islative dictative was formu-
lated in Congress recently by
over 100 representatives and
senators of the solid South.
1t was styled a Manifesto.
The above review can be con-
Strued as a direct answer to
the unstateSmanlike diatribe
released by bitter die-hardS,
who oppose racial integration!
A Georgia representative ell
evated himself as spokesman
for this group of misguided
statesmen. He ingeniously
distorted by clever contradic-
tions trying to make the ma
ton including the solid South
Segregationists under S tand
that White Supremacy in all
categories is a monument of
might and right that will not
be demolished. He also de-
clared that States Rights had
been invalidated by the U. S.
Supreme Court.
The latest census statistics
estimate the nations racial
population 100000. Regist-
cred and eligible voters total
100000.
Outside of the solid South
100000 could tally, as a po-
tentlal block of 100000, a
majority either political party
could win the 1856 President
ial election.
President Eisenhower, the
COP candidate, is a strong
contender to make inroads on
racial voters, who in the past
followed the New Deal. Seq

Slave. markets were created
by unscrupulous white men
to make black men chattels
to inhance the caste system
into an inhumane stock ex-
change for exclusive barter of
human beings. Historians re-
cord successive decades of this
lnlquitous slave deluge with
out respite until after the Ci-
vii War.
A lamentable end came
when thousands of black hu-
man beings became wards of
nation, who almost entire
ly failed to provide adequate
provisions or prepare a sat-
lStactory program for advanc-
ement to become a part of the
body polotic. A counterpart
of the caste system expanded
after the Civil War through
a sad Reconstruction era re-
manning uncurbed until the
present age, which has
mounted into an uncontrol-
able nightmare of traditions.
EQUAL RIGHTS CRUSADE
Beginning with the present
century a group of pioneer
racial crusaders organized a
breakdown of the gigantic
White Supremacy caste sys-
tenn, which was strongly bar
loaded mostly in the solid
South. William Monroe Trot-
ter, was one of the leaders.
The demise of this great man

proven his efforts were not

Prince Georges County is grow
ing by leaps and bounds popula-
ton wise and the churches are
waging a sturdy fight to keep
pace with the areas spiritual
needs.
Probably the most interesting
aspect is the great effort the
Catholic Washington Archdiocese
is making to bring new churches
converts and schools to the
Maryland county. Between 1854
and 1856 nc less than eight
schools. additions to existing
schools and converts have been
erected. One, the Regina High
School and Convent in Hyatts-
vile. cost nearly $1,3 million.
In addition. several new
churches and auditoriums have
been built. Excluding the Regina
High School, the total spent
comes to over $2.9 million
Together, approximately $4.5 mil
lion has been expended by
Catholics within the county for
these needs.
Other Projects Planned
But the picture does not end
there. Two projects planned for
the near future are an audito-
rum. school and convent for
Holy Family Parish, Hillcrest
Heights, costing $4,000 and a
Irectory for st. James Church
Mount Rainier. $4,000.
The archdiocese has also
bought five sites for new par
fishes. costing $145.850, and two
sites for high schools, $118.400.
The most i-ctive Protestant de-
nomination il the county is the
Methodist church. During the
past two years, eight Methodist
congregations have put up new
buildings, the total amounting
to over ST million. Largest OF
these structures is the Congress
Heights 100000 church. The
Chevy Chase Methodist Church
completed it's $260,00O new sane
tuary. while the church at
Branchville cost $165,000.
The Episcopal church has also
been active, though it's projects
have not been as ambitious.

Teacher Ed. Fund
Need Accented

New York, Nov. 10 - Substan-
tial gifts have been made to educa-
ton in general recently, but little
of this has gone specifically to
educating teachers, declares a
leader in teacher training here.
DR.. Hollis L. Caswell, president
of Teachers College, Columbia
University, notes that despite gen.
crosby of individuals and corpora
tons, gradual programs in
teacher education "have Jared little
better than previously"
He asks for greater support of
the private colleges and universe
ties carrying on this highly neces-
sary work. In his 1866 annual
report to the trustees of the col
lege, he observes:
Difficult To Understand
ut would be a service of ines
Unable value to education if in
creased lay interest and support
would come to the aid of private
institutions devoted to the ad-
vanced preparation of workers in
education, as it has to colleges of
liberal arts, medicine, law, and
engineering"
This overlooking of teacher
training programs is difficult to
understand in view of the critical
shortage of teachers and the gen.
orally acknowledged Importance of
good educational leadership" DR..
Caswell points out.
private institutions are making
very large contribution to gradu-
ate preparation in the field of edu-
cation. If these institutions are to
discharge this responsibility well,
additional sources of financial sup
port must be found"
"In 1954-55, slightly more than
$4,000 graduate degrees were
granted in education by all institu-
tions in the nation. Nearly 40 per
cent of the masters degrees and
81 per cent Of the doctors de
grees in education were earned in
privately supported institutions. :"
Challenge In Years Ahead
While it is true that some of
the gifts and grants for education
have come to the Teachers Col
lege which he heads, large pro-
portion of it has been for special
research and field-service projects,
he explains. More often than not,
the college has to put in additional
money to supplement the grant.
"There is great need to secure
funds that may be used, as is tut
ton, for general strengthening Of
the colleges Institutional pro-
