Crump at the ''U".
The two co-eds visited Miss
Crump's parents DR. and Mrs. Ed
ward Crump in Nashville. The
young women were extended social
courtesies which are reported else
where in this edition but the thrill
which they received came from OBJ
serving the manner in which young
Negroes and some white sympa-
thizers are supporting the student
at-downs in the Tennessee met
ropolis.
Miss Dawson told this writer
that on Sunday students from the
various colleges assembled in front
of both Negro and white churches
! handing out leaflets, entitled, "a
Message to Christian Conscience"
from the Nashville Christian Lead
ership Council. The students stood
in an attitude Of prayer. At some
Of the white churches, they were
invited to enter, but they could not
distribute the leaflets In the
church.
This is one method by which
they are appealing to the white
fellow citizens thru channels Of
passive resistance.
Some Of the whites took the mat
ter with all seriousness" Miss DaS-
ison said, Others were curious and
others were indignant"
Miss Dawson and Miss Crump
participated during the church
movement, but did not take part
in the sit-ins as they were afraid
they would be dubbed as northern
agitators."
The students distributed to
cnurchgoers the following Mas
sage to Christian Conscience"
from the Nashville Christian Lead
ership Council.
The message read:
THE moral issues involved
in the struggle for equal
rights for all are too import
ant to be overlooked by any
Christian.
IN order to be effective,
the recent community devel-
opments toward racial under
standing must be rooted in a
spiritual comprehension Of the
situation. This can best be
done in prayer. Some Of US
have sinned by maintaining
a system that oppressed other
men; the oppressed racial
groups have sinned by &C
quiescing before the system
Of evil.
IAN Of US in varying de-
grees, by cooperation, silence,
acquiescence, or overt acts
participate in the personal
and social sin of prejudice and
segregation. If we, without
pretense, examine ourselves in
prayer and confess that sin,
we can begin to live as broth
ers.
"a Can To Prayer)
"As we pray, let US remem-
Der that God Is eager to for
give, and II we are truly for
given, we obtain power to live
as loving persons. From this
can come the insight and ae-
tive love to realistically shape
the human order In accordance
with Gods Kingdom. Let us
finally pray that we may never
again be content with any un-
christian feature in our com
mon lives. Thy win be done

Tension Noted

according to Miss Miriam Kauf-

The Youngsters at this far
Northwest school are virtually
all above average; but by no
means are all in the honorS

Kaufman, is that there has
been evidence of increased

parents, and printing of child

Other Problems Cited
Among the other problems,
both old and new, noted by the
principals are:
Lack of adequate criteria for
determining which child should
go in which track. c'Many of
the regular group are surpass-
ing those in the honorS group
in class work." reported Miss
M. Helen Stohlman, principal
of Mann SCHOOL,

Comments from all the prin-
cipals on the program. started
last September. we're collected
by school officials earlier this
year. Supt. Carl F. Hansen is
sued a summary report of them
more than three weeks ago.
But just two days ago he let
reporters read the original
comments. They proved to be
most provocative.
Principals of schools in the
central. lower economic sec
tions of the city had the same
complaint: the turnover among
students is so great that it is
difficult to establish any sort
of sound, cohesive course of in
struction-with or without the
track program.
Teacher Objections Cited
Charles E. Carter. principal
of the S. j. Bowen School, re-
ported IAN almost monthly
change of class composition"
Mrs. Evelyn l.. Hunton of the
Bruce School said the track
program is working "aS well
as it can considering the great
pupil mobility"
The ability-grouping system
has added a new dimension to
their old problems, many Of
these same principals reported:
1t has brought together the
slow learners, who usually are
also the discipline problems.
THE discipline load is ter
rife in the slow grades" re-
ported Mrs. Alma M. Shugrue
of Whittier School. Fighting,
stealing, poor work habits,
talking out, wrong attitudes
all combine to make each day
a struggle to maintain order
instead of devoting five hours
to teaching"
A number of principals from
all sections of the city reported
pressures developing among
students, teachers and parents
over the formal placement of
youngsters in slow, regular or
honorS sections.
Parents Interfere
Parents soon learn which
group is better or best and are
sometimes persistent in de-
manding placements not best
suited to the child" said Mrs.
Fannie L. T. Johnson, princi-
pal of Giddings and Lenox
schools.
Several others reiterated the
observation of a teacher at
Bunker Hill School, which was
relayed by the principal. Mrs.
Helen B. Lyman: She thinks
the children in the able groups
become SNUG and intolerant of
other children"
Teachers generally do not
seem to like working with the
slower groups; the principal of
Plummer, in fact, reported she
could not get any of her teach
erS to take such a class.
Two principals did say the
track program has actually i'm
proved teacher morale. Teach
ers now feel they are accom-
pliShing somethinA" according
to Mrs. Klotha G. Outten of
Bryan School.
Mrs. Lillian S. GlaScoe, prin-
cipal of Shadd said: The track
program has caused greater
teacher acceptance of the slower

study at Hardy, according to
the principal.
The movement to the sub
urbs of many of the more
capable students, who are re-
placed generally by youngsters
with less ability.
The difficulty of keeping the
three tracks fluid enough to
allow transfers between them,
when warranted. C"Once pu-
pills are placed in a group, they
tend to stay there" said DR..
Stanley E. Jackson. principal
of Stevens, Sumner and Grant
schoolsD
The lack of adequate in
structional materials and text
books for each of the three
tracks.
Majority Approve Plan
Despite such comments and
complaints. a majority of the
principals definitely believe the
track program is a step in the
right direction to provide each
child with maximum educa-
tional opportunities; a number
of them noted that they have
been grouping children by abil-
ity on an informal basis fer
years.
Several principals, in fact,
claimed there is a need for
more tracks. One pointed out
the difficulty of managing one
sixth grade class for slow
learners with reading levels
ranging from primer to fourth
grade.
Another. saying that many
children didn't seem to fit into
any Of the tracks, added that
I'VE need a course of study for
the progress Of the in-between

Deacon Scott
Dies, Famed
AsIron Man

FORT WAYNE. Ind. Nov. 2
(AP).-Everett (Deacon) Scott,
famed as baseball's iron man
until Lou Gehrig eclipsed his
record, died at his home here
today. He was SO.
Scott, a steady shortstop who
had a 13-year career in the
major leagues, for many years
held the record of playing in
the most consecutive games,
1907. However. Gehrig, who
broke In as his teammate, sent
that mark into discard by play
ing in 2.130 games before be-
ing stopped by an illness that
later proved fatal.
Scott broke in which the
Boston Red Sox in 1914 and
remained with them through
1921. He was sent to the New
York Yankees in 1922, but
switched to the Washington
Senator's during the 1925 sea-
son. He got into SO games as
the Senators drove to the PEN
nant, but he saw no action in
the World Series against Pitts
burgh.
In 1926, his last year in the
majors, Scott saw limited ac-
tion with the Chicago White
Sox and Cincinnati Reds. His
lifetime batting average was
.249.
Scott was a native of Bluff
ton, Ind, but he had lived in
Fort Wayne most Of his life.
He had been in the bowling
business since his retirement
from baseball.
