PIon Aids Grades
Of S0inf Louis
Missouri Pupils


ademic improvement by Negro stu
dents in the Bannelter Group Of
Schools in st. Louis was described
on KMoX-Tvs Challenge" pro-
gram recently.
Negro pupils, amounting 70 H.
900 Of the $4,000 children in the
BanneEer Group, raised their
grades between January, 1868, and
June, 1859, by a great margin.
The Improvement came after DR..
Samuel Shepard Jr., Director of
Elementary Education Of the
group, started a program to find
out why Negro pupils were doing
badly and to correct the situation.
I'VE knew that there was moth
ing inherent In the Negro teachers
or pupils to explain the poor show
ing in the tests several years ago"
DR. Shepard told Parker wheatley,
moderator Of the television pro-
gram. The challenge was to find
out why the pupils were doing
badly" T..
Investigation showed, he said,
that the conditions under which
the tests were given-poor light
ing, crowded classrooms, etc. -
was one factor. Another was poor
motivation on the part of the pu-
pills. -.
Program Pays Off
The result Of the tests given in
January, 1868, showed that on the
average the Negro children were
six months behind the level Of pro-
gress which they should have
reached. g.
DR.. Shepard showed how he
worked with school principals to
meet the challenge and how they
In turn worked with teachers,
pupils and the parents of pupils.
Three semesters later, the work
paid off with results that showed
the children Of the Banneker Group
had made up the sixth months
lag in reading and languages and
were above the national level In
arithmetic. Twice as many Ban
neker pupils were eligible for Tract
One (Superior) high schools than
had been eligible In 1868.
You might say 1t was a matter
Of faith to begin with" DIR. Shop
ard told the television audience.
I'VE believed the children could do
1t = that they were not in any
way inferior to white children"
Biggest Problem
"An the principals and teachers
co-operated from the beginning
but there were some doubts be-
cause there had never been a pro-
gram like this on such a large
scale before" he added.
The biggest problem was mo-
kivation - oekfino thu children 70
want to learn. We had to show
them that knowledge would help
them in the future and get them
to do the best they could with what
they had
I'VE had to work with them but
they accepted the challenge too"
The program was sponsored by
the st. Louis Board Of Education.

Missionaries To Whites
In an exclusive article called
Message From Mboya," the quiet

that American Negroes become
missionaries to the white man and
that the NAACP take a larger

Asia and Africa.
Mboya, a 2s-year-old Kenya lab

back-to-Afrioanism and suggests
that home for the American Ne
