For The States Teachers Welcome
APreview OF Things To Come

We are happy to be able to join with the people of
the city in extending hearty welcome to the Negro
Teachers of the state they assemble here this week
for their 5st annual convention and to give them what
we see dependent upon their future action the real
preview of things to
Over in Europe and Asia, and other parts of
the world where the concept of democracy is not
deeply engraned, nearly well understood as it is
here in the United States various political groups and
organizations, because of their lack of maturity, and
emotional instability, have been using students groups
to set off various types of revolutionary movements in
order to further their own ends.
Precisely of their lack of maturity and their
emotional instability resulting FROM the lack of matur

And comes Mrs. Louela Bender Johnson, direc-
tor of Youth activities for the state of Mississippi for
the NAACP, in addressing meeting of the local Branch
last Sunday asserting that the group played heavy
role in promoting the Alcorn College students strike
which she said only preview of things to
We think it pertinent to point out here that school
and colleges not the proper in which to decide
political questions, and that the teacher and the poll
tician are two separate and different species.
We think it is not amiss to again state opinion
that the main function of schools and colleges is in
still in the students discipline and inspiration which
will prove far valuable when the students reaches
the point of matured thinking and action When there
is complete breakdown of discipline in school col
lege it has failed in it's main function

Loves comes before Heaven will
Money gives you blessings here on

Jesus said to love one another
He didn't mention no certain race
You can not enter Gods Heaven
we are told
Because you have a bright face.

Your heart it must be bright with
love
For your soul to inherit eternal

The Saints will inherit Gods Heav-

Care nothing for the unable or poor
Get all their blessings on this side
Now where do they expect to go.

No one can enter Gods Heaven
Without the love of God to start
You've got to get ready on this side
With no hatred in your heart. i e.A

You cannot hate your brother on

And say you love God on high
The Bible tells us hate no one
So you see it must be lie.

Prosperity has gotten into Gods

And losing sight on Christ
Most people are bursting after

No shelter for them to get in.

Talk to Negro Jeanes supervisor for genuine

against heavy odds to win better day for the Negro

Equalized schools in every way the goal from
which Dr. Easom wavered.
Nationally he was recognized for his work in be-

The strides Mississippi is making toward equaliza-

No wonder Negro hearts throughout the state were
saddened by his passing.
No wonder emotion chokes many of their number

protect the right to vote-a chorus
which made itself heard in the
1856 elections-may press this pro-
gram through"
Noting the United State Su-
preme Courts contribution to civil
rights progress, the report states
that the high court Continues
unanimously to uphold equality be-
fore the law, most recently in in
tra-state bus transportation" Fur
ther advance is observed "in edu-
cational desegregation (where)
there continues to be steady prog
ress, frequently unpublicized, in
the border states"
But, the report cautions, "as in
all advances toward freedom strong
resistance blocks the road we
are still shocked by headlines of
violence and economic reprisal, and
the deliberate refusal of eight
southern states to comply with the
law of the land-not to mention
failures of federal, state and local
authorities to desegregate public
housing in northern states.
To-day victories for the equal
rights of Negro Americans have
to be won in the midst of the most
crucial situation since the nation
was divided in 1861. 1t is a sit
uation in which not only the Ne
gro's right of equality is at stake
1t is situation in which the First
Amendment rights of free speech
and association, for such Negro de-
fense organizations as the NAACF
and the National Urban League
and for the white people who sup
port equality, are also at stake.
In describing the civil rights
scene, the report stresses that the
civil liberties of both opponents
and defenders of integration must
be protected. g.. we will upheld
the indivisibility of liberty-that
the whole Bill of Rights was writ
ten for every American" it says
In addition to the civil rights
effort, the report forecast in 1857
a battle over the revision of the
immigration laws. Supporting the
Hungarian refugee program, the
ACLU declares, "the principle OF
asylum must be given further eff
feet in extending American free
doms to the brave people who
come to our shores to escape Com
munist tyranny.
"And we may hope that this
dramat ic development will
strengthen the mounting opposition
to the unfair sections of our basic
immigration laws, especially the
discriminatory and outdated ma
tional origins quota system"
Turning to other civil liberties
areas, the 96-page report lists these
positive gains:
The United States Supreme
Court decisions in the Cole and Mel
son cases, the first limiting the
federal employee security program
only to sensitive jobs and the Sec
ond barring state sediticn laws
