stutiOna decisions of the pertaining to bus seq
regation.
The meeting was called following the Supreme
Courts ruling that bus segregation laws in Montgomery
Alabama unconstitutional.
Naturally such laws now unconstitutional in
every state in the Union.
This strategy meeting as it is called is to work out
plans to combat the Federal carrying out the
transportation laws now dead letter. the Attorney
puts it.
Just how officials of the government pledge al
egance to the flag and laws of the United States

YE EDITORS NOTEBOOK
ARE WE LESS EDUCATED THAN SO YEARS Aco?D

The following is the caption of an interview with
Professor Arthur Bestor of the University of Illinois,
published in the November issue of the u S. News and
World Report aweekly magazine, dated November go
The interview somewhat lengthy but so interesting
we commend it to those of readers who might not
have yet had the opportunity of reading it. Everybody
who do any reading at ALL should read this interview
Here are just three questions and answers from the
interview.
Would you say that the Negro schools are turning
out good students, however?
Answer: Yes. have had number of Negro graduate
students from the South who very able The best are
the equal of the best white students Even they haven't
had the full opportunity they should have had.
There has been criticism in the South that some of
their coored schools better than their white schools
Answer: This is undoubtedly true in certain in
stances but 1t is certainly not the rule agree with the
Supreme Court that segregated schools can't give equal
opportunity. Separate but equal is contradiction in
terms.
What about the problem of migrating the races in
the SOuth If they start dividing them according bright
and dull some people will say that's racial discrimination
SO won't there be tendency to avoid separating the fast
learning from the slow learners?
Answer: That will be difficulty certainly On the
other hand think that consistent and honest classi
cation of students of ability offers possible solution to
the problem raised by desegregatOn
Some liberals in the south honestly oppose Indignation
because they fear it would further lowering of the
quality of education. But if the abest Negro and the
best whites put together in classes for students of
high ability, this lowering of standards would not take
place Indignation takes place at that level eventually
it will become clear to thoughtful Southerners that racial
segregation is not at all necessary to uphold the nteec
tual quality of the educational system.
Read the whole interview, it is very interesting.
Professor Bestor believes school children in the
United States getting less education than their grand
parents did so and the situation getting
worse, rather than better

profit increases of the Administra-
tons friends.
'The veto of the farm bill means
simply that the sliding scale is con-
tinued; that farmers will continue to
be the economic scapegoats of the
Administration and will continue to
be squeezed of their economic blood
to offset the initiation all about them.
Congress was concerned with
meeting the pressing needs f the
farmers now, as well as in the future,
when it passed workable and realistic
legislation to raise farm income this
year.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

1t is interesting to note that the
bill as it went through the House
set the - % minimum royalty on
"unproven" land. Nobody knew much
about oil at that time (1951), and
the bill went through the House with
out any trouble. But that wasn't
enough for the oil interests. When
they found they weren't going to
have any trouble they again put their
grubby, greedy little hands to the
bill and it came out of the Senate
with the word "unproven" taken out.
All this hysteria about how much
money we have lost by court suit is
nonsense anyhow. The oil is still there
and it becomes more valuable all the
time. If we let the oil companies take
it all now for nothing we would have
to face at later date no more money
coming in for schools. And the fl
of schools is not becoming
less of a problem. | can't see where
any reasonable person can believe
Montana people are losing anything.
The oil companies, yes, but the
schools and Montana people-non-
sense.

And talking about oil wonder
why Mary Condor doesn't ask John
Bonner to debate the issue. Bonner
is a full Pledged candidate-he is
mouthing the Aronson stand-he is
a former member of the Land Board
he wants to administer school lands
again-he is an attorney, qualified
to partake in public debate &. what
more could she need?
| think in fairness to all members
of the state boards in which the four
highest officers of the state are in
volved it should be pointed out that
there has been precious little chick
ering" on any of the boards. Not too
long ago the TRIBUNE printed a
story pointing out that though there
was wide variance of political opin-
ion between members it has never
interfered with their sensible ap-
proach to the states business. While
they campaign on the issues where
they are in disagreement Montana
should be proud to know they work
as a team on matters of state. They
treat each other with respect, and
our business has not suffered be-
cause they are politicians, too. That
hasn't always been true of state
boards, even when all members were
of the same party.

bright "high school boy between Bill
