NAACP should be had to prove or disprove
the uncertainties which now cast shadow.
lnterposition resolutions have been passed
by the legislatures of South Carolina, Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi and Virginia
Governor Hodges Of North Carolina has
indicated that he will call the legislature
in special session this spring.
A, caucus Of Southern congressman and
senator's discussed the situation produced
by the interposition resolutions and it is

The paper curtain" rung down OH the
South is beginning to be punctured Editor
Tom Waring, of the Charleston S. c..
New & Courier, was author of an article
published in Harper's Magazine, and he
is this week guest for a panel discussion
on the racial subject in Ontario Canada, of
the Canadian Broadcating System.
Some heretofore unfriendly newspaper
writer's and columnsts are beginning to
see the whirlwind brewing in the South
Benjamin Muse, columnist of the Wash
ington Post warns the NAACP on its ag-
gressive and uncompromising program,
counselling, For good will among white
people is an essential element in any solu-
ton of this problem. A policy reducing the
meager store of good will toward this
champion of the Negroes cause, without
any compensating benefit is manifestly
\
NAACP, who have become so adept in the
ways of the law courts, have been dis
astrousy slow in grasping the Importance
of public psychology and in learning the
important art of public relations. There
is an ominous fear in many quarters that
the NAACP will again ask the court to
come down on Prince Edward next May or
June. If these gentlemen Virginia
NAACP leaders) have any plans now for
moving in on Prince Edward next spring,
it is the prayerful hope of this writer that
they will go fishing instead
At stake are two fine races, century
of racial understanding and good will, an
economy in the South built with century
of sweat and labor, culture and way of
life world renofn, patriotism unsurpas-
sed and balance of conservatism which
has influenced the nation and may save
constitutional government.
1t is to be hoped that the whirlwind so
omniously seen in the South will not be-
come tornado. There is need for clear
calm thinking and new bold leadership
with more understanding of the problem
at hand not only in the South h,1t alSo in
the North. It will not be solved by force.

Travelling To The Moon
The books most popular with
the youth of today are books on
space travel"-what is. going to
other planets. 1t is said that
Washington Is having more in
auiries about the earth "satel-
lites" which are to be released
than about any other subject
Why Is it that young people are
50 much more interested in other
worlds than in learning about
their own world and how to live
in It? Something is wrong some
where. Education should teach
how to live It should help parents
mold character.
Teachers should be spiritually
minded in order to be efficient.
Although they should be paid
better salaries, yet this salary
should not be based upon the de-
grees which they have received.
Looking back over my school
life. it was the teachers with the
biggest hearts who won my In
terest and awakened a desire for
knowledge and service.
To get back to my main ap-
peal: One sure way to increase
the efficiency and reduce the
cost Of our schools and truly help
our children Is to teach children
where to find their own answers
to questions and awaken In them
. desire for more knowledge. We
need teachers born with love

Reaping til e Whirlwind
OVER JEALOUS ADVOCATES of racial

OVER JEALOUS ADVOCATES of racial
migration are beginning to reap the
whirwind. Responsible leadership must do
something about it quickly to save the.
SOLITARY of this nation and the right Of
the people to the pursuit of happiness.
Happenings Of the past ten days point
up the danger of the racial situation in
the South Responsible national leadership
should take heed and understand that
Southern people mean exactly what they
say, namely, attempts at racial migration
in schools will be resisted tenaciously. The
regretful experience of the University Of
Alabama, where violent student reaction
met the attempt of Negro woman to at
tend the University, indicates the strong
feeling> which has been generated in the
South The circumstances surrounding this
episode lead us to believe that Argentine
Lucy was more interested in providing a
test case, than in obtaining an education.
Tolerance, racial understanding or good
will were not present in any of the UNI
fortunate proceedings Thurgood Marshall,
chief counsel for the NAACP, displayed
his anger in typical expression when he

me communist is a bare-face liar and
so is his mother"
Other significant developments have
been the elevation of Senator James O.
Eastland to Craftsmanship OF IN. T. s
Senate Judiciary committee upon the death
of Senator kilgore. Senator Eastland's
resolution providing an investigation of the
sources upon which the Supreme Courts
school Indignation decision was based, pos

Babson Discusses Reducing Educational Costs

Babson Park. Mass. Mar. l. I
now see no way to cut costs of
operating Primary or Grammar
Schools. I believe. however. that
High Schools and Colleges will
become more efficiently a n d
economically operated. The self
service supermarket will show
the way.
Do-It- Yourself Movement
Some educational experts are
urging cities and towns to spend
less on buildings, libraries. and
equipment ana devote more Of
the total allotment to teachers
salaries. This may be good poll
tics. but it is not in the students
interest. I favor building bette r
schools with better libraries and
equipment but having fewer
teachers. Then pay better salar-
les to these fewer teachers.
The most vital field for a DO
It-Yourself" campaign Is that Of
education. A parent can buy q
set of encyclopedias for 500
which contain more information
than is contained in the heads
of all the teachers in your COM
munity. Moreover. the training
and discipline of self -educatioh
is even more valuable than all
the facts that can be learned.
Hence. I forecast that the next
great movement In education for
those above Is years Of age with
be teaching students to learn
without teachers. I wish thAt
some city would put the managers
OF its self.service supermarkets
on their school boards.
What Does Your School Board

don't know who are on your local

the business in which each is en-
gagged and the number Of child
rem which each has in the schools.
You may be surprised to find how
poorly chosen these men and
women are for this work.
In too many cities. school
board members are interested in
getting income for themselves or
friends as doctors, builders, in
surance agents. bank officials.
storekeepers. etc. These school
committee members naturally
take the advice of the Superin-
tendent Of Schools who is an
honest man but is guided by the
colleges which determine what
shall be taught and how. The
Superintendent and School
Principals are too often judged
by the number Of students they
pass alohg to the colleges. and
promoted accordingly. They are
fine men and women: they deserve
much better pay. but they have
very little freedom.
What II Education.
I have just been reading re-
ports Of the recent Conference on
Education held in Washington.
The great demand there was for
federal aid without federal in
reference. Very little discussion
was devoted to what should be
taught our children and how. No
time was given to discussing

efficiency Of the schools. The great
