Foundation could organize a pri-

and teachers who had with
drawn, as it did so quickly and
efficiently in 1859, and the school
board would probably be legally
and morally justified in selling
the vacated high school to the
private school.
AT first sight this may seem
to be the same as the plan al
ready adopted, but there are
several important differences. In
the first place. it provides for the
preservation of most, if not all.
of our public schools for the in
definite future. In the second
place. it provides for the educa-
ton of all the children in the
county on a permanent basis.
Thirdly. it is founded. not on
legal compulsion. but on purely
voluntary action. Finally, in the
opinion Of this amateur student

more likely to survive litigation
than is the present system, if
tuition grants are accepted, as

One of the most interesting Of
all games is chess. 1t is also
probably one of the oldest. No
one is sure where or when the
game actually started despite
stories attributing its invention
to such persons as Aristotle and
King Solomon. The consensus of
modern scholarship is that it
started in India. In the Middle
East the piece now known as the
bishop was called the elephant:
and the queen. now the most
powerful piece on the board, was
originally the kings minister,
counselor, or general.

time and running the risk of be

Nevertheless, most people re

Letters ToEditor
Suggests Voluntary
School Segregation

Editor of Herald;
Allow me to commend you on
your eminently fair editorial, ITO
Our People, which so we'll ex-
emplifies the spirit which makes
Prince Edward County such
fine place to live. 1t should be
better understood in the South
that the racial problem is a ma
tlonal, not regional, one. The
attitude of the average white per-
son in the North is probably
more hostile to the Negro as an
Individual than that of the aver
age white person in the South. I
know that in the small Pennsyl-
vania town in which l was born
people still pronounce Negro
"nigger, and that the one Negro
girl who attended the high school
there was prosecuted by her
classmates worse than any of the
Negroes attending white high
schools in Virginia seem to have
been.
Conditions elsewhere, however.
Will not help us to handle our
own problem. which must, as you
say, be settled locally. At pres
ent the legal battle has ended in
q deadlock with everybody los
ing, and the only rational solution
seems to be a Wilsorian peace
without victory" an armistice
accepted by both sides on the
basis OF the status quo ante. be-
lleve that virtually all of us
would like to see our public
schools operated as they have
been in the past, and in the
opinion of many people that is
still possible. 1t seems to be gen.
orally overlooked that, while the
Supreme Court decision has pro-
hlbited compulsory segregation.
1t has not required compulsory
migration. Laws were not ne
cessary to keep schools segre-
gated during the first thirty
years of the Virginia public
school system, and they should
not be today. If we can obtain
assurance from responsible Ne
gro leaders that they will accept
voluntary segregation and will
DO their best to perserve it, we
can operate our public school
system as we did before.
The arg u m en- t advanced
against this is that the NAACP
would not abide by this truce
and sooner or later would per-
suade some Negro in our county
to violate it. I doubt if our col
ored people would tolerate such
outside interference, especially in
view Of the way the NAACP has
deserted them in the current
emergency, but, if this did hap
pen, we would still have the de-
tense Of the pupil assignment
plan, which has been upheld by
the Supreme Court in the Ala
bama case. Under the law any
Negro would have to exhaust the
administrative remedies set up
by the Commonwealth of Viz
glnla before he could appeal to
the courts.
If the day ever should come
when a Negro is finally ordered
admitted to the white high school
by the Federal courts, and he
cannot be peacefully persuaded
to withdraw his application, the
white people could still protect
themselves against enforced as
ISOLATION without legal action.
All students who object could
Withdraw, and all teachers who
object should be permitted to re-
sign Presumably there would
not be enough students left to
operate the school economically,
and the school board would be
forced TO consolidate it with the
Negro high school. Meanwhile,
