people in Chickasha. They're pref

Negro schools did a good job. But
when I look at the permanent
records, I'm skeptical. The kids
that made AS and BIS in chemis-
try, for example, don't do so well
in the white school. However, I'm
sure it's a psychological block as
we'll as the fact they're not as well
prepared"
Day said the Negro children
seem to have most difficulty with
the languages, science, mathemat-
les and English, judging by their
grade cards.
Hale, a native Oklahoman and
Langston graduate (1940) who has
been away from the state 20 years,
said desegregation has worked well
in the sense that the number of
Negro schools has gradually de-
clined. "But it has not worked well,
in my opinion, from the standpoint
of more Negroes being educated
he declared.
While Langston's own enroll
ment is up over last year (645
compared to 500. Hale said he
has the feeling there are not more
Negro high school graduates than
there were five years ago, and
that perhaps even fewer are 60

he said. 81 don't believe the peo-

tried to find out for sure by ask
ing other institutions for higher
learning about the percentage of
Negro students in their enroll
ment. He was told, he said, that
they have no means" for keeping
records like that.
"It's my idea that if we keep on
the way we're going, we'll reach
the point where there will be no
Negroes graduating from high
school," Hale declared. Where
do we end up? l don't mean we
should go back to segregation, but
we need to take a good long look
at our educational system and see
what we can do about the prob
lem. The people of Oklahoma
have a responsibility to work out
a solution"
Hale said he has some theories
about why Negroes are not finish

advance them at this time. For

FOLKS SHOOK THEIR HEADS when MISSISSIPPI farmer
BOUGHT POOR hILLY LAND: IT'S Different STORY NOW

down on 30 acres and spent the
next eight years paying the re-
naming $500.
A little later Mr.. Burkhalter
started buying 258 acres OF his
own for 81 an acre. 1t was then
that his neighbors shook their
heads and warned that he would
never be able to raise anything on
that poor hilly land.
But the farmer began clearing
some Of the trees with an ak and
selling the wood door-to-door in
town. A chemical company came
along and bought the stumps, and
soon he was planting a little cot
ton. Terraces, contour tillage,
cover crops, and soil tests recon-
mended by the Soil Conservation
Service technician, together with
advice from the county agent, have
meant the difference, he says.
Within a few years, he had the
deed to the farm in his pocket
and was proposing to his sweet
heart. They soon married and
began planning to buy more land.
The couple earned extra money
raising chickens and hogs. They
peddled fryers and fresh pork in
town, but seldom felt they could
afford a chicken or q piece of pork
for themselves even on Sunday.
The Burkhalters now own AIT
acres and rent $40 acres more.
About 400 acres are in pastures,
ITS in corn, 20 in cotton, some in
woodland, and the rest in oats,
peanuts, and sugarcane.
All the cotton is handled by
three tenant families on the
place, while the farmer and his
five hired workers devote them
selves to livestock production.
Some Of the animals are offspring
of his brood stock, others are
bought, finished out and sold.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burkhalter have
two daughters and Is grandchil-
dren. One of their grandsons, 16-
year-old John Newsom, lives with
them. He hopes to study agricul-
ture at one of the Land-Grant col
leges, and one day take over the
farm.

fetal records giving an enrolment
breakdown by race, he has no fig
ures to support that impression.
But he said he plans to complete
study of the problem out of a
deep concern for the future of Me-
gro education.
Harry M. Day, the Chickasha
high school principal, said he has
fewer Negro students than a
year.
Actually, he went on, the over
all high school enrolment is down
(from 655 to 620) because of the
graduation of a record senior class
last spring and the entry of an
unusually small sophomore class.
Nevertheless, Day conceded a
trend toward lower Negro enroll
ments. In fact, he had been con-
cerned enough that he has tried
to find the reason.
"I'm guessing that our white
high school won't hold the Negroes
as we'll as the Negro school did,"
he said.
The principal explained that, un-
til last year, Negro students had
a choice of attending their own
Lincoln High or the predominantly
white Chickasha High. The top
three grades at Lincoln were closed
last year and all Negroes in them
sent to Chickasha High.
awe had a bunch of Negro stu
dents come over with excellent
grades-A's and BIS - but over
here lin the white schooD they
barely get by" Day said.
"I'd hesitate to say the Negroes
are dropping out because of tough.
err competition in the integrated
school. They're taking part in al
activities very we'll, and the white
