Fourth Day OF July 1856

During the past Wednesday, the nation was again
engaged in the observance of the Fourth Day of July
The day. one of the greatest in the history of mans
struggle of individual liberty and of his efforts to esab
ish government, when in 1776, delegates from the 13
American Colonies then governed from England met at
Philadelphia PENN and signed the Declaration of indie
pendence and thus gave rise to the worlds greatest
tion the United States of America
What makes the 4th day of July great day in
American history, and what has enabled the United
States to continue progress until the day it has become
the worlds greatest nation is the great American ideal
and idea Appealing then and now of all and
creed everywhere set forth in the opening words of
the Declaration of Independence.
The opening words of the Declaration of Independ-
eve hold these truths to be self evident that
all created equal that they endowed by their
creator with certain inalienable rights that among
these life liberty and the pursuit of happiness That
to these rights, governments instituted
among deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed that whenever form of government
becomes destructive of these ends it the right of the
people to alter to abolish and to institute gov
ernment laying it's foundation such principles and
organizing it's power in such form to them shall
most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
In 1776 in the above word, there perhaps only
the dream and hope of nation but in them today,
there lies the dream and hope of the entire world
To make the great ideal idea of the Declaration of
Independence, great American reality should be the
aim of every American citizen.
Viewing the contemporary scene, there many
why the world needs great idea and ideal of
the Declaration of Independence than in the
year 1776

Tallahassee, Fla, July 2 - The
school of pharmacy at Florida A.
and M. University has been placed
on the list of accredited colleges of
the American Council on Pharma-
ceutical Education. This was an
nounced last week by university
President George w. Gore, Jr.
The action followed approval of
the school of pharmacy as "Class
A" college by the Council.
"Accreditation of the school of
pharmacy at Florida A. and M.
University means that graduates
may be eligible to take the Board
of Pharmacy examination for lie
ense to practice in any state in the
country. Prior to accreditation
graduates of the school were eligi-
BILE by law to take the Florida
Board of Pharmacy examination,
but were allowed to take the ex-
animation in other states only at
the discretion of the Boards con-
cerned," Howard McClain, acting
dean of the school said.
while the foregoing is the most
important consideration for stu
dents, there are several other fav-
.orable factors involved. The school
will now be a full member of the
American Association of Colleges
of Pharmacy with the same respon-
sibilities and privileges of it's other
seventy-four members. The school
may now affiliate with several STU
dent activities such as the student
branch of the American Pharma-
ceutical Association and the vari-
Gus professional societies.

maceutical Education classifies col

Texas High School
Must Admit
Negro Student

New Orleans, La, July 2-The
U. S. Fifth Circuit Court of APP
peals last Friday instructed lower
Federal Court to declare illegal the
refusal of Mansfield High school of
Fort Worth, Texas to admit Negro
students.
The appeals court decision came
in the case of Nathaniel Jackson,
Negro high school student who
sought admission to Mansfield.
The U. S. District court for the
northern district of Texas had dis
missed the suit on the grounds that
the school board had shown it was
making an effort toward integra-
ton and should have a reasonable
length of time.
The case was appealed and the
appeals court ordered the district
court to declare:
THAT plaintiffs have the right
to admission to, and to attend, the
Mansfield High School on the same
basis as members of the white race;
and that refusal is unlawful"
The appeals court also ordered
the district court to forbid the
school board from refusing admis-
sion to any of the plaintiffs.
The appeals court held the dis
trict court was wrong in not de-
claring the constitutional rights of
the plaintiffs. 1t said public and
private opinion as to the desira-
bility of desegregation should not
influence the lower court.

Fail To Halt
Action On
Civil Rights

WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
The way apparently has been
cleared for a House vote on the
administrations civil rights bill.
But even if it passes there, it's
Senate chances are doubtful.
The House Rules Committee
boost to the measure late Wednes-
day when Northern Democrats and
Republicans OVERRIDE Southern
Democratic opposition and ap-
proved the measure for House ac-
ton. The vote was 8 to 3.
Rules committee chairman How
ard w. Smith (D-Va.), who had
fought the measure all along the
line, said he understood the bill
would be called up for a vote in
about two weeks.
The rules group, which controls
the flow of legislation to the floor
decreed two days of general debate
on the controversial bill.
hlgn hopes In mouse
Backers of the proposals are con-
fident the same northern Democrat
Republican lineup that pushed the
bill through the committee will
also carry it through the House.
But with adjournment approach
ing, chances of Senate action were
uncertain. Civil rights legislation
in that chamber is still bottled up
in the judiciary committee headed
by Sen. James o. Eastland ID
Miss.), a pro-segregation Southern
Democrat.
Southerners fought down to the
wire to delay action by the House
group. Smith has succeeded in
staving off scheduled vote week
earlier by catching the bills back
ers off guard and adjourning the
meeting for lack Of quorum.
Wednesdays vote, which followed
q day-long hearing Of Dixie House
members against the bill, had been
previously set for 8 pm.
When the hour arrived, some 20
Southerners were still waiting in
the committee room for q chance
to be heard, but Rep. Richard Boil
