NEGRO STUDENT HoNoRED
IN NEW ORLEANS, la.

New Orleans-Merlin Edwards,
seventeen-year-old student in the
J. S. Clark high school here, was
selected as one OF twenty New
Orleans high school students to
receive an award from the OPP
timists Club. Edwards ranked
thirteenth and was the only Negro
in the group.
He was elected governor Of
Bayou Boys State, a mythical
politaical state, held in Southern
University every summer to give
the high school boys an opportuni-
~ to learn about the political set
up Of their state by actual prac-
tice. He was also president Of the
Louisiana State Baptists Youth
Convention last year.
Edwards was given a 500 US.
Savings bond for an award. He
was not presented the award along
with the other white boys and
girls but given his award at a
separate meeting. The club said
that it was against Louisiana law
for him to be with the white child
rem on the same program and to-
gether but there was no law pre-
venting the seven white men from
the club being present with him
and other Negroes when the award
was presented.

speech and opened the session
to questions. That was his mis-
take. The barrage all but fioored
him. There were so many ques-
tons he could not answer that
he retreated with a promise
to look up the law and submit
a written report. That was all
right for while but the ex-
pert's boss got wind of the story.
Maybe that $4,000 a year
we're paying you is too much, "
commented the old man.
Internal Revenue spends only
about $4,000 a year on this
educational project. 1t is paying
high dividends. Through the
students, it is reaching thou
sands of taxpayers so effectively
that there has been a sharp de-
cline in mistakes on forms filed
with a consequent saving in
costs of correction. The num-
Der of telephone inquiries and
letters requiring answers has
dipped to a new low and there
are fewer irate taxpayers.
Obviously. the well-informed
student of today is going to be
the well-informed taxpayer Of
tomorrow. So the benefits to be
realized in the future are in
calculable.
Some time ago Mr.. Schneider,
the public information man, got
a call from a stranger.
God bless you," said the
voice.
THANK you. sir" replied the
public servant. But we aren't
used to blessings down here. ano

swer those original questions.
But more questions poured in.
The students were learning for
themselves and, in turn, teach
ing their parents.
Service Expands
The word got around. Other
parents sent questions to other
teachers through their children.
The special service expanded
rapidly in the Washington Me-
Itropolitan area. Teachers talked
about the development at re-
gional and national meetings.
First thing they knew. demands
for literature came from all over.
The tax folks had to prepare a
regular course of instruction.
The skipper of one of the
largest Navy carriers asked for
handbooks for his entire crew.
Hospitals requested instruction
for bed-ridden patients. Boys in
various Army units began taking
the course. Even in some prisons
inmates took up the study.
The dean of mathematics at
an Ivy League college objected
because IRIS called this a high
school course.
What makes you think college
students don't need ito" he thun-
dered. I'm fact. what makes you
think deans of mathematics don't
need it. too?"
This year. the special instruc-
ton is being given in more than
10000 schools. colleges and in
stitutions.

ones embarrassed by students

Lecturer Makes Mistake

the course is taught, pupils be-
came so interested in taxation
that the class invited a recog-

in Arlington.
For instruction purpose. he
posted a huge likeness of Form
l040 on the blackboard. A pho
tographer, on hand to record the
scene. suggested that everything
would be more realistic if Mr..
Schneider would fill out a part
of the form.

He agreed. Taking a big, black
crayon in hand, he began by

flowing handwriting.
Screams of protest came from
the students.

Internal Revenue got into the
education business unintention-
ally. about four years ago.
One day headquarters received
a call from Mrs. Anna Steen. q
teacher at Banneker Junior High
School. She said some of hel
pupils were bringing questions
from their parents, about how
to fill out the income tax forms
She didn't know all the answers
and needed advice.
IRIS was glad to accommodate
! An agent helped Mrs. Steen an.

about Form 1040 than their dad
dies will ever know.
Not long ago. the Internal Rev.
enue Service distributed a piece
Of literature showing students
how the income tax form is filled
out porperly.
Letters Of Complaint
Promptly, IRIS received three
letters of complaint. One was
from Jeannine Reynolds. Is. OF
1904 Manchester road. Silver
Spring, a student at Eastern
Junior High School.
She and the other pupils
pointed out that in illustrating
the procedure. IRIS struck out
because it incorrectly listed the
mythical social security number
for John Doe. They noted that
Does number was 100000 000C
but the IRIS illustration dropped
