General Issue Involved
Senator Robertson. would you
expand little more on the point
you made about the general issue
involved in the Prince Edward
! County School Case?"
Regardless of any difference of
opinion as to the best means of
meeting the attack of Federal
Courts upon our public schools 1t
is important to recognize and sup
port the right of the people of
Prince Edward County to decide for
themselves.
There have been efforts in the
North to picture Prince Edward as
backward county Of ignorant
people. Actually. this is one of the
outstanding counties in Virginia
from an educational standpoint.
Hampden-Sydney College. founded
in IT'S made Prince Edward the
second county in Virginia. and one
of the first in the nation. to have
an institution of higher learning. A
girls school was founded in the
county as early as 1917 and in 1885
there was chartered in Farmville
the school which became the first
State Teachers College in Virginia
and which now is known as Long
wood College.

Purpose of Foundation
In other words. YOU feel that
the Prince Edward School Founda-
ton will serve the cause of public
education?" he was asked.
Yes. very definitely. The first
purpose of the Prince Edward
County School Foundation is to pre-
vent a break in the schooling of
about 800 children previously en-
rolled in the public schools Of the
County. That, you may say, is a
matter primarily of concern to the
people Of that historic county and
secondarily to anyone elsewhere
