''It is true of our women, too"
Mckay could believe they had succeeded. He
watched the contests in growing wonder as the ath

ished him to see handsome young Marian maiden
with the body of goddess soar more than 40 feet
to win the broad Jump. Looking around the stadium
at the spectators dressed in their Crecian costumes
and raising their ''Ahs'' of approval, he could
imagine himself back in Earths Golden Age in
Greece when the Olympic games were young.

Voter Discrimination

The Civil Rights Commission's

it in the hearing room.

The MAKING OF FRIENDS

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered and nobody
helped along,
If each every minute looked after himself and
good things all went to the strong
If nobody cared just little for you and nobody
thought about me,
And we stood all alone to the battle Of life, what
dreary old world it would be-
If there were such thing a flag ir the sky
as symbol of comradeshp here,
If we lived as the animals live in the woods with
nothing held sacred dear
And selfishness ruled us from birth to the end,
and never a neighbor had we,
And never we gave to another in need, what
dreary old world it would be!
Oh if we were rich as the richest on earth and
strong the strongest that lives
Yet never we knew the delight and the charm of
the smile the other gives,
If kindness never part of ourselves,
Though owned all the land could see,
And friendship meant nothing at all to us here,
what a dreary old world it would be.
Life is sweet Just because of the friends have
made and the things which in share;
We to live not because of ourselves, but
because of the people who care;
It's giving and doing for somebody else-on that
all hfe's spendor depends,
And the Joy of this world when you've summed it
all up, is found in the making of friends.

District School Supt. Carl F
Hansen has indorSed the policy
Of taking an annual racial
count of the city's students.
In a letter to School Board
Member Wesley S. Williams
the superintendent said he
would not favor eliminating
the breakdown by race "at
this time"
Mr.. Williams previously had
written DR.. Hansen to ask II
the CONT. made after the first
six weeks Of the school year
served ANY essential educa-
tional purpose"
Ever since the desegregation
Of the schools here in 1854
various community groups have
been urging the elimination OF
racial statistics. They have
claimed such figures are an un-
necessary holdover from the
days of segregation.
Four Reasons Cited
N DR.. Hansen. however, gave
four reasons why he thinks re-
porting enrollments by race
should be continued:
First, the change from seq
regation Is much too recent fol-
the school system to escape the
national spotlight on this is
sue. To seek to eliminate re-
ports Of pupils and personnel
by race will be interpreted by
many as a device for secreting
significant facts about the
schools.
Second, without official re-
cording. estimates and guess
work will be substituted. The
flood of rumors and counter
rumorS, mostly negative in ma
ture, and the persistent prob
ing for facts on this issue will,
I believe, be harmful 10 the
stability of the school OF l7ani-
zation.
Third. in the transitional
stages Of this historic educa-
tional development, racial
counts furnish the basis for
establishing scientifically the
fact that Negro pupils, properly

taught and in improving eco
nomic and social situations,
can respond and will achieve
eventually at the same level
and pattern as the white pupils.
Fourth, as has been said by
a nationally known expert in
human relations when we put
the question to him in a recent
conference, the failure to re-
port racial distribution of pu-
pills and personnel can be and
is now far too often used as a
shield for discriminatory prac-
tees"
Required by Law
DR.. Hansen noted that the
annual racial count is now re-
CURED by law. 1t would be a
proper function Of his office,
however. to recommend changes
in the legislation IF there is
dissatisfaction"
He added that he is not pre-
pared to recommend a change
at this time-"although it is
my hope that the time will come
in the history of our school
system when the racial char
acteriStics Of pupils and person.
mel will not be so much at issue
as the nature and Character
Iistics Of their educational needs
as people"
In 1854 DR.. Hansen's prede-
ceSsor, DR.. Hobart M. Corning,
recommended elimination of
the racial count. The school
board approved the recon-
mendation, but Congress took
no action.
DR.. Hansen's letter, dated
January l8, released today by
Mr.. Williams along with his
reply in which he repeated his
belief that the count should be
eliminated.
