Local Option On Schools

Results of the third public hearing of the Sibey
School Study Commission are surprising even to ardent
supporters of the local option plan in the school racial
crisis.
The hearing held in the Seventh Congressional Dis
tct induStraZed than the sites of the previous
two hearings, resulted in overwhelming sentiment for
local option
The feeling of the witnesses that each school
district should be allowed to say whether the schools
in that particular district should be desegregated or
Closed, under court order to desegregate.
general feeling expressed at the Americas hearing that
the states public schools should be closed rather than
allow any degree of Indignation at any school?
Has there been awareness by the public of
the factors involved in any wholesale school closure?
We think not

the Seventh Congressional District for example, less

The industriaZed economy too has given Geor-

The varying attitudes throughout the state on the
school crisis is all the for local option to be
adopted state policy.
If people in a specified area want their schools
closed rather than admit single Negro under court
order, then give them the right to do So
If people in another area want the right to decide
whether to keep public schools operating through a

the state-are desegregated then they too should be
allowed TO do so.

This Question Ought To Be
Answered First

From down in Baton Rouge, louisiana by
the newspapers that Rev. D. V. Jemson is calling upon
during the Easter season. and have noted calls for
the thing in other sections of the country and
according to the grapevine there may be such
brewing here.
Those who calling upon Negroes to boycott
white business seem to never having thought of
such thing counter-boycott, which could
ceivaby that white businesses would decide to fire
all of their Negro employees
Before Rev. Jemison, anyone else call upon Ne
groes to boycott white businesses they ought to first
get other jobs if the white businesses decide to start
firing all their Negro employees counter boycott

She said that she was late for

So / told her that was not the way

Christ ask for the old heart, and
in exchange He would give a
new heart

Foundation to award for the first
time Honorable Mention to 1908
candidates. This honor, DR.. Taylor
said, will aid nearly all of these
students to receive alternate a.
ward from universities or other or
CARNATIONS.
The winners named today were
nominated by faculty members.
They were selected after being in
terviewed by regional committees
of educators, with subsequent APP
prevail and additions by a national
committee at the Foundations
headquarters in Princeton. A thou
sand campus Representatives, APP
pointed by the Foundation, acted as
talent scouts" in helping 70 re-
eruit the promising students and
starting them on the road 70 col
lege teaching careers.
This years winners come from
SS5 universities and colleges in the
United States and Canada and
were selected from $500 applicants
representing SCI Institutions In
the fall Of 1860 they will enter
50 different graduate schools in
the United States and Canada.
Most are in the Humanities or So
eial Sciences but there are also
224 scientists among them.
In 1857, a five year grant of
S24,500,0O0 from the Ford Foun-
dation enabled the Wilson Fellow
ship program to increase its OPP
erations and to intensity the search
for college teachers. 1t is estimat-
ed that 10000 new college teach
ers will be needed each year dur
ing the next decade to take care
of the increased student enroll
ments expected in the Sixties.
DR.. Hans Rosenhaupt, National
Director of the Wilson Fellowship
Foundation, stressed the fact that
candidates are not able to apply
directly for the awards but must
be nominated by one of their col
lege professors who naturally
name only outstanding students.
Thus, he pointed out, approximate
ly 30 percent of all those nomi-
mated eventually enter graduate
schools, most of them with finan-
cial assistance. A list of the names
of the applicants receiving Honor
able Mention has been sent to
Deans of all graduate schools in
the United States and Canada for
other scholarship awards.
DR.. Rosenhaupt said, "The i'm
portance of the Woodrow Wilson
program as an instrument for the
identification and recruitment of
prospective college teachers goes
far beyond providing some 1900
fellowships annually. We are con-
fident that our awards, with the
splendid fellowships provided by
the government under the Nation
al Defense Education Act and by
the National Science Foundation
and many other organizations, con-
stitute positive steps towards pro-
viding the badly needed college
teachers for the 1905. But we
must remember that quantity is
not enough. Our program seeks
out the most promising young men
and women and presents to them
an opportunity to become college
teachers"

occupy the table, and to save fur
Their inroads on the weekly fortune
less the continued indulgence be
made to affect the Sunday morning
contribution, and other contingents
not excluding the preachers salary,
when somebody started to repeat
ing some Old Sayings, and how
back in the old days such says
used to be repeated in the pres
ence Of the young and less sophis-
ticated with great meaning and
lasting impression. Somebody then
said something about the old folks
used to look at pair Of breeches
THAT needed patching and say, "a
stitch in time, saves nine," and go
ahead with the patching. This was
in the days when perhaps Zane
Gray got the inspiration for that
character he created called "Hon-
orable Patches" Nowadays, kids
don't wear patches. Not because
they're too proud and won't and
not because time done wore out
the meaning of the old time say
ing, "A stitch in time saves nine"
but more because their mama's
amt got no time, and don't know
how to do no patching. Then some
body else bring up that old saying
about, "A bird in the hand, IL
worth two in the BUSH" for my
money that "two" would be a car
load. Listening ! started to think
ing about them old time sayings,
and what is being reported in the
papers about folks being laid off
from the work, and the complaints

from folks who used to wave it
in the air, and take a mighty
plunge to the tune of LET The

most of us who still got job and
a little change in the mattress, the
post office, and bank, and other
places Of safe keeping, before the
good times roll too far away better
get us selves hep to what the old
folks meant when they used to say,
"a stitch in time saves nine"-and
"a bird in the hand is better than
