Editorial
MORE SCHOLARSHIP AID

THE E 0 more and increased scholarship aid
for deserving students from these Islands is being felt more
and more. There are just not enough scholarships to meet
the crying need for high school graduates.
not as acute as out this way. Each state has its university or
college, and many states have many state schools, profess
sonal, technical, teachers, and the like. Under such a system
a native boy or girl of the state can start in the first grade
and go through university, all in state-supported schools.
FOR US IN THESE parts the story is different. After
high school we must send our children north; and in the
great majority of cases they attend private schools. The rea-
son for this is two-fold First, we are closest to the Eastern
Seaboard of the United States where the great bulk of col
ieges are private; second, since we are not native to any state,
the tuition advantage would not benefit us too much.
THIS YEARS graduating class of the Christiansted
High School produced many serious and promising students
whose future would be bright if the opportunity for further
study were present. As it is, only one or two scholarships are
available, and the other students who are not SO fortunate
must await their opportunity.
A SURVEY OF the situation with a view to determin-
ing the needs and the possible sources OF scholarship aid
should be made. Private citizens might be encouraged to in
vest in the future of their communities through this type OF
aid. businesses may also wish to turn back to the community
some of the benefits derived from the community, and lastly,
the Government, through loans and grants may lind the way
70 auoment whatever funds are available.
THIS IS A community matter and one which deserves
the fullest and most conscientious consideration.
