of the staff from 300 to 100 since

For one thing, there is no great

While they work at reducing

ton Of the Advertising Club
Of Washington:
Julian Goodman, director
Of NBC Network News in
Washington, recently dialed
the operator and said he
urgently wanted NBC in New
York. He was told to wait
awhile as the lines were busy.
In the frenzy OF the mo-

"A wRC wag, who was
standing next to the operator
and had overheard the con-

Julian's phone fell TO the

Other Interesting Facts

Besides the general enrolment
totals. the new statistics disclosed
other interesting facts.
One was that all but IS of the
Icity's 1859 public school buildings
now are racially integrated in
some degree. In some instances,
of course, there is only a small
number of Negro pupils or white
pupils. In several cases, integra-
ton consists in the presence of
a single pupil.
Six of the Is schools with no
pupil indignation are all-white.
The rest are all-Negro.I All the
Icity's schools are open to children
of both races who live in the
proper school zones.
Another disclosure was the
total of pupils assigned to spe-
cial classes because of retarda-
ltion in their work or other
learning problems. The majority
of these children are of low
learning ability. But the special
category includes other groups
with sight, hearing or physical
handicaps, and some children
of normal ability but who are
average and in need Of special
acceleration.

Special Glasses Increase

The grand total of children in
these special classes of various
kinds is 1899. more than twice
as many as year ago. Slightly
above 5000 of the present 1899
are Negro.
The majority of these special
classes are in the elementary
schools. but there are also many
in the junior high schools. The
school system has been allotted
increased funds for special
teachers in the last two years
because Of the large number Of
children needing extra help.
Before integration, the city's
white school division had a
number Of such special classes,
but the Negro division had rela-
lively few because of a lack Of
funds.

Service

A lady in one Of the
Government agencies was
called to work Sunday be-
cause of the international
uproar.
Her Office Is not in one Of
the more pOpulOus and
busy areas of the city.
When the day ended, she
was out on the street, try
ing to flag a cab. But cabs
were hard to come by in
that neighbOrhOod.
A motorcycle policeman
passed by. Ten minutes
later, the same officer
chugged up again.
Having trouble?" he
asked, She admitted she
was, and the officer looked
arotind cautiously.
Hop In" he said. She
hoped into the sidecar, and
the policeman took her to
a buster area and tagged a
cab for her.

Trend Illustrated

The recent trend in the city's
school population is illustrated
by a few figures.
In 1850. the public schools had
46.736 white pupils and 1890
Negro pupils. That was the first
year in which Negro school chill
dren were in the majority. In
the fall Of 1858. the white total
was about $4,000. In the fall Of
1854, 1t was about 1000. A
year ago it was 38.768. Now 1t
totals 34.758.
Negro enrolment has been
climbing steadily. In 1858, 1t
was about $4,000. In 1854. at
the start Of indignation, it was
$4,000. Last year it was 6s,s77.
Now the Negro total is 1923.
The Negro increase has not
accelerated significantly since in
tegration. In fact, since 1858, It
has slowed down slightly.
The Negro proportion Of the
city's total population Is not In
any way similar TO the public
school ratio. The present Negro
total Of all ages has been un-
officiaily estimated by research
experts at AZ per cent.

Count Shows
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Washington public schools now
have slightly more than two
thirds Negro pupils, school off,
Gals have disclosed.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning yes
terday released an enrolment
count made on October 10, show
ing a total of 108,48l pupils, of
whom SO per cent or Is, 1913 are
Negroes. The Negro proportion a
year ago was 81 per cent.
The l08,481 total sets a new
high mark. 1t is 1886 pupils ahead
of last years figure. The tally is
somewhat smaller than expected,
however. Officials had predicted
the school systems pupil popula-
ton might reach 10000.
The change in the proportion
OF white and Negro pupils con-
tinues a trend that began about
10 years ago and somewhat ac-
celebrated in the last several
years.
Fewer White Students
There are now 4,01O fewer
white students in the city's
municipality operated schools
than a year ago, and 4,846 more
Negro pupils. The white de-
crease is somewhat--but not
very greatly-larger than that
in 1954-55 and in the two previ-
Gus school years. The number
of additional Negro pupils is
about the same as it has been in
each of the last several years.
School officials said there has
been nothing spectacular about
the change in the last year, in
asmuch as it has been close to
the pattern that became notice.

This Bird Never
Had 1t So Good
By JACK JONAS

Frank P. Troiano was
headed back to Washington
on Route so from North Beach
not long ago when his car
and a sparrow collided.
Mr.. Troiano is not one to
take lightly an injured bird.
In his barber shop on Wis
cousin avenue near Calvert
street he has a cage full of
parakeets and =. well, he
likes birds.
So he stopped his car and
went back to look.
"He was pretty badly hurt"
he says. His wing was broken
and something was wrong
with one of his feet. picked
him up and brought him back
to the shop. Thought I'd keep
him around and take care of
him until he got well, then
let him go.
Il put him in a cage with
my parakeets. They got along
fine together. The time
passed, and his wing and foot
got all right, so I took him to
the door of the shop and let
him out.
He flew up into a tree.
But within a few minutes, he
was right back in the shop
again, trying to get in the
cage with the parakeets.
Every time let him out,
right back in he'd come. 1
built him a cage of his own,
and now he comes and goes
as he pleases. Flies around
outside mostly in the daytime,
but when closing time comes,
he's right back in his cage
again.
Guess he figures he's got
q good thing here, with free
room and board and ALL"

The Sidney herald., 1956-01-19

Helena - DR.. Carl Mcfarland,
president of Montana State Uni
versity at Missoula, is blunt OF
words. The French say that lam
guage is a mean of concealing
thought. There is ample prece-
dent to indicate that in his own
usage Carl Mcfarland has a
different idea. With all too many
educators nebulous diction diff
fuses rather than punctuates
thought. Carl Mcfarland is not
like that.
Moreover, DR.. Mcfarland APP
pears to have a dramatic sense
of timing. Or to put it another
way, he seems to be adept at
tossing a bombshell when and
where it will explode loudest
and most effectively. For ex-
ample, last spring in addressing
the Missoula Rotary club he used
the "shock" treatment in appris-
ing the people of Montana gen.
orally and the parents of the
university students in particular
of the drinking problem, es-
pecially as it pertained TO the
campus itself.
OF course, there was reaction.
There was complaint, ranging
merely from hurt feelings to in
dignation, from students and
some of the younger alumni. But
it seemed that in the main the
older graduates sanctioned or at
least did not condemn the presi-
dents method of dealing decisive
~ with the problem.
Hot blood cooled and the tenn
pest subsidized. Apparently drink
ing by students has been brought
under something like realistic re-
straint. What this controversy
proved is that DR.. Mcfarland as
president is running the insti-
tuition and that he will continue
to run it while he is president
within the policy purview of the
state board of education.
In recent days there has been
another illustration of Carl Nc
Farland's bare knuckle way Of
handling his job. I refer TO his
