Middle Glass Negro Urged 10 be Serious
And Support Group Efforts Aiding Race

WASHINGTON. D. CDR. E.
Franklin Frazier, chairman of
Howard University's Sociology
Department and author of the
book BLACK Bourgeoisie" which
created widespread controversy
among American Negroes, urged
today that middle class Ameri-
can Negroes face the reality Of
their position as wage and salari-
ed workers in the American
economy and be serious intellec-
tual leaders, supporting group eff
forts aiding their race.
The controversial sociologist
was addressing the 25th national
convention of Delta Sigma The
ia sorority at the Statler-H Hilton
hotel during the sorority -spon-
sored public luncheon discussion
of THE Responsibilities of the
Black Bourgeoisie.
1.-THE Negro middle Glass; the
professor asserted, docs not
have the same economic base and
the tradition of the middle class
es in other countries. Therefore.
If the Negro middle class is to
play an intelligent and response
bic role it must face the reality
of its position as wage and salari-
ed workers in the American
economy. AS salaried profession
al and technical class 1t has a
role to play which will give the
Negro a dignified place in the
world.
TN order to accomplish this
middle class should supply the
thinkers and artists for the Me-
gro group. Although in the past
they have depended largely upon
white philanthropy for their
training and have borrowed their
thinking from whites, they must
become free in their thinking
and as artists let people know
what it means to be Negro and
how the world looks to the Me-
gro.
Moreover" continued DR.. Fra
zier, "the Negro middle class has
responsibility to the Negro
community and to the larger A
merican community. 1t may be
that by taking thought we may
not be able to change our desti-
ny and that we shall disappear
as a group from the American
scene. But let us at least leave a
memorial of having lived
worthwhile and significant exis-
tence."
DR.. Frazier said the former Ne
gro upper class resembled caste
in that family and social fac
tors were more important than
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1958-08-22

occupation, money or success and
that these families had inherited
from white America partly
through the teachings of the
white missionaries in the private
schools the genteel tradition or
tradition of the gentlemen.
THE new middle classes which
have emerged the sociologist con
tinued. "have inherited to some
extent this genteel tradition.
But this new class is composed
of other elements who exert a
far greater influence on its be-
havior and outlook on life. I'm
speaking particularly of the mass
es of Negroes with a folk back
ground who represent an entire
ly different cultural heritage
Stating that the small upper
class which once occupied a pri-
viledged position behind the
walls of segregation was able to
live a fairly satisfying life
which, through narrow, provin-
cial and sterile, was graeed by a
culture that was altogether arti-
ficial the Howard professor add
ed:
THE only saving element in
that culture was that there was
genuine respect for knowledge
and desire to achieve thorough
ness perfection within certain
limits.
g. :. Denied political partiei-
patton in the American COM
munity and being subject to the
arbitrary will of whites, Negroes
created institutions of an author
itarian character. The heads of
Negro churches and schools have
been more autocratic than the
Russian Gar.
Perhaps the most important
result of segregation and discrim-
nation has been inability of the
Negro to become a mature person
In the United States the Negro
has never been taken seriously
and this has affected the whole
character of Negro life as well
as the character of Individual
Negroes.
Since he has never been TAX
en- seriously the Negro has tend
ed to develop a playful atti-
tude towards life. AS the new
middle class has become impor-
tant, the effects of the Negroes
isolation have become important,
the effects of the Negroes isolation
have been revealed. Because Of
their lack of first rate educa-
ton and experience in the larger
American community, they suf-
fer from feelings of insecurity and
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1958-08-22

their anomalous position in A
meriea produces illustrations.
In order To escape from these
problems they have sought conn.,
pensation in conspicuous consump-
ton, or an escape in gambling,
drinking, and by trying out new
religious fads. This is all very ma
tural for any frustrated people,
but it represents a turning away
from reality and an attempt to
escape from ones SELF
DR.. Frazier said that if mid
die class Negroes are to become
the intellectual leaders they must
cease to think of themselves as
an aristocraey or upper class or
as the leaders of society"
Stating there was some excuse
for the assumption of a leisured
upper class when they were con-
fined behind the walls OF segre-
cation and could engage in such
phantasies" he said:
But today the walls of segre-
cation are being broken down,
white America is beginning to
take Negroes seriously, and the
world is expecting the Negro to
behave as a mature person. It is
the responsibility of the middle
class Negro to lay the founda-
tons for an intellectual tradition
The slender intellectual
tradition. begun by an earlier
generation who were the pro-
ducts of northern missionary
education has been dissipated and
among the new middle class
there is disparagement of
knowledge and an intellectual
bias. This is found even in Ne
gro schools where one would ex-
pect that some real respect for
the intellectual things would be
shown"
DR.. Frazier, who is also author
of the book THE Negro in the
United States told the Delta
Sigma Theta convention that the
intellectual tradition must begin
in the family where reading is
a daily enjoyment and family
conversation is concerned with
something other than personal
looks and clothes and sports"
Defining the new intellectual
leader role as thinker and artist
and declaring that the Negro
must achieve intellectual freedom
if he is to achieve real freedom
DR.. Frazier said the Negro has
been an outsider in a sense that
should give him an attitude of
objectivity.
For example, he added, en-
the present world crisis when
there is so much talk about pre-
serving a world that is falling
apart, the Negro intellectual
should see that he he's no stake
in a world that rested upon CO.
lonialism and exploitation and
racial prejudice. He should use
hic intellectual energies in for

STUDENTS
WRITE SILENT
READING TESTS

Mrs. Jimpsie Miller, who is in
charge of testing at the Sidney
Junior-Senior High School, adj
ministered the Iowa Reading
Tests to all sophomore students
Thursday, May IS.
This battery of tests is design
ed to cover a wide rang of skills
known to be indispensable to eff
fective reading of the work-study
type. The general areas of silent
reading abilities measured are the
rate of reading, comprehension of
words, poetry, sentences, para
graphs, and longer articles, and
the ability to use skills required
in locating information.
The use of these test results
provides a rather exact estimate
of the level of development of a
number Of important elements
of silent reading. By analyzing
the scores made by individual
pupils on the various parts of the
tests, specific weaknesses or
strengths of individual members
may be discovered.
The test results are also of
value for grouping classes for

sumers. Each one of them ar
rives on the scene with a loud
demand for all the necessities of
life.
New facts and figures on birth

parts of the country, together
with their significance to Ameri-
can business, have come from
the National Office of vital Sta

For Richland county. thew
show, the rate has climbed to
1922 births per 1000 people.
This refers only to the local
population and does not include
babies born there to non-resi-

The rate is IA percent higher
than that for the Mountain States
as a whole.
And an eve greater baby boom
in the years just ahead is some
thing that can be counted on
with assurance. For it is then
that the big crop of babies of
the World War 2 period will be

The present Pirate team has the
best record since the '46-'47 crew

the very worst the present team
should carry a 1872 mark into this
