II the centerS are not schools,
then what are they? The cen
tiers are designed to maintain
high morale among the youth.
They give the children an outlet
which makes them feel they are
a part of a movement. That
was Mr.. Gl'iffins answer to the
question.
A visit by a reporter to two
rural centers yesterday and an
earlier visit to the center in
Farmville verified for certain
they are not schools. On the
other hand it is equally clear
they are providing some school
training.
Prospect Center
In the Prospect center located
in the basement of a church. two
former public school teachers,
who taught in Prince Edward
are carrying on a program for al
most so children.
Upon entry into the center they
were found in the middle of a de-
votional period. With Mr.. Grit
fir s entry, that phase Of the
program was interrupted with a
brief salute who do we love?
We love the Rev. Griffin
chant to the coordinator.
A spelling game, where all OF
the older pulls stood until they
missed two words, was initiated
by the supervisor, Mrs. Eliza
beth Watkins. The results indi-

TOR the contestants. In this group,
ages ranged from the third grade
level to 10.
Off to the side. nine Youngsters
between age six and nine were
being read a book on birds by
the assistant supervisor. Mrs. l..
S Davenport. Some were color
ing in books at the same time.
Around the room were some
examples of what had been &C
complished since the cente
opened about a month ago. There
were displays devoted to success

sports, entertainment and bust
ness. On the wall were charts
showing the parts of speech, an
art display of pictures made by
the pupils, and some papers,
marked very good or excellent
in a "our best work" display.

DR.. Bernard Boyd, chairman
Of the Department of Religion at
University of North Carolina,
urged recognition on the part of
his student audience in College
Church that science is limited by
its own methods.
II did not come here to sheer
at it science; 1 think it is mag
nificent, but it is totally secular.
It cannot find meaning in life,
and it can't evaluate IDEAS DR..
Boyd declared.
To Find Answer
To add meaning to, and COM
plement scientific achievement,
the professor Of Biblical Litera-
ture recommended a knowledge
of the word of God. and &C
quaintance with Jesus Christ. He
is the most transcendent per-
sonality the world has ever
KNOWN DR.. Boyd affirmed.
The Chapel Hill speaker de-
clared that 1T is my conviction
that in the Bible God addresses
Himself to man, through reve-
lation.' Once people understand
revelation they'll stop sneering
at it, he said.
Revelation is knowledge that
is mediated by God to the human
mind when in a receptive mood
Without it we die spiritually" he
said
To capture the Biblical mes

of reverence, awe and vision, DR..
Boyd pointed out. I'VE get close

meaning, we proceed exactly
like the scientist when he puts a
hypothesis on trial by his meth

embark on such quest of
understanding and perception in
the crucible Of thought.
It is the duty Of the church
a task religion has historically
shamed to make science
meanlngful. not fight it, DR..
Boyd said. Recalling the great
pioneers Of thought like Calico
and Descartes who had to write
and work in secret from the
church, Dr. Boyd declared: too
much has science had to fight
religion in order to be allowed to
get at the truth
Gods great purpose in that

believe everlastingly to matter"
DR.. Boyd said of Christ, whose

Group To Study
SchoolsP roposed
By BEN BOWERS

An inter-racial group to study
the school situation in Prince
Edward county was suggested
here yesterday by the county
NAACP coordinator the Rev. L.
F. Griffin.
Il think the best interest Of
the entire citizenry of the county
would be fostered if we could
form an inter-racial group to
work out a feasible plan where
by we could comply with the
law of the land" Mr.. Griffin
told a reporter at the conclu-
sion of tour of rural training
centers set up for Negro chill
dren. 1--WE are approaching the
problem in a rather immature
manner, declared the Negro
leader.
No Compromise
Asked if his suggestion of
forming such a group meant the
Negroes were ready for acorn
promise in the segregation y
indignation battle. he replied,
no. A subsequent statement
left the matter of a compromise
On the part of the Negro open for
interpretation. Mr.. Griffin said.
We are ready to talk about the
problem with responsible people
provided they are going to real
ize the facts that discrimination
