Grace Poindexter. II, would
have been in the 9th grade at

for Negroes had 1t not been
shut down last year. She is one
of those attending the Farm
vile center. Asked why the
children did not borrow school
textbooks, she told a reporter:
1--WE can't use textbooks be-
cause that would be too much
like a private school"
Keeps Them Occupied
The centers were set up
ostensibly to keep children of
the streets and idle minds oc-
cupied.
The typical day starts with
about Is minutes of morning
devotions. This may be follow
ed by an hour of spelling les
sons or working with words.
Then there will be an hour
of reading from magazines and
newspapers.
About noon there is a Is
minute rest period. Until the
time for the children to be
released, they read such ma
terial as the contributions of
the Negro to American History,
or practice sentence structure.
On Friday afternoons they
spend their last hour or SC
studying their Sunday school
lessons.
The center here is in the
basement Of the First Baptist
Church for Negroes.

Opposed Closing Schools
A leading citizen-a pillar OF

I'VE should have gone on
with public schools for another

Mrs. Claude Milan, wife Of

er of two pre-school age chill
dren. Her husband is leaving
to become principal of a pub

II cannot say" Mrs. Milan
declared, that this was a fac
tor with us. I suppose it has
not sunk in yet-and won't
until our children have been
IN school for two or three
years. Those with high-school
age children are hardest hit.
Their children need laboratory,
library and athletic facilities
which the private schools can
not provide"
Negroes Reject Offer
Contrasted with the op-
portunity afforded every white
child in Prince Edward to at
tend a private school. Negroes
have none of their own.
This is largely a decision the
Negro's themselves made. On
advice Of attorneys for the
NAACP. they have spurned
an offer by white citizens to
set up a separate private
school system financed with
State funds.
White citizens organized
Southside Schools, Inc. for the
Negroes, but only one child
applied when the system was
scheduled to open last February.
Avoid Public Aid
The white organization has
Steered clear of financial aid
from the county or State and
its students do not receive the
State authorized tuition grants
of about $3.50 each.
]. Barrye Wall, jr., counsel
/ for the Foundation said ac-
ceptance of public money would
subject the private white school
to challenge in the Federal
courts.
Yet. the white sponsors OF
the private Negro school system
proposed that it be financed
mainly through the State tu-
ition grants. Mr.. Wall, who
also is counsel for Southside
Schools. Inc. was asked why
the distinction.
Who would challenge that?"
he asked-tl,e implication being
that no VII tie child would GO
to court to e.lter a Negro school
Besides" Mr.. Wall added, "the
State grants would be the only
way such system could be finan-
ced."
Negroes Set Up Centers
Negroes. led by the Rev. F. l.
Griffin, head of the county
NAACP chapter. have gone
through the motions of setting
up three remedial training
'centers." They studiously avoid
use Of the word schools" in
connection with the program
NAACP attorneys have warn
ed them they would weaken
their case in attempting To
force reopening of public
schools If their children were
obtaining private education.
i Fewer than 200 of the 1,70O
Negro children enrolled in pub
lie schools last year are at.

at one here in Farmville and

its public school system rather
than bow toa Federal court de-
segregation order.
While its $500 white chill
dren attended a privately
financed, segregated system
and its 1.700 Negro children
are practically without classes,
faculty members are shying
away from the two colleges in
Prince Edward because of the
school problem.
A number of the parents on
the faculty of Hampden-Syd-
ney College, five miles south of
here, have left or are leaving
for other jobs, giving the lack
Of public schools as the rea-
son.
Applicants for teaching po-
sitions at Longwood's State
Teachers College here in
Farmville are showing a SINH
lar concern.
Professor Moving
DR.. Will Hahn, professor of
mathematics, came to Hamp-
den-Sydney from South Caro-
lima only a year ago. He is
moving on to Ohio at the end
of this term.
Asked if the lack of fully
accredited public schools was
a factor in his decision. DR.
Hahn replied:
THAT is the sole reason. We
are not at all optimistic about
the situation next year. We've
looked for straws in the wind
that would indicate a change
because we like Hampden-
Sydney. It's a good place tc
be, but Mrs. Hahn and ] have
a responsibility to our three
children"
The Hahns have children ir
the 4th and 5th grades and ont
who will enter school next year
The children now attend one o1
the schools set up on the cam
pus by the privately financed
Prince Edward School Founda-
ton.
All in Private Schools
Practically every one of ths
1,500 white children in the
county who wants to go tt
school is being provided an ed
ucation in the private white
system. Although State law re.
quires its accreditation with
institutions of higher learning
in Virginia, the foundation
school is not accredited outside
the State-a fact of concern
to professional educators.
They have a much younger
faculty at Hampden Sydney
with younger children" sale
DR.. Earl r. Boggs, dean Of
Longwood. Our turnover IL
much slower and, to my knowl'
edge, public schools have no
been a factor with those WHIT
leave.
However, our enrolment i
growing and in our interview!
with prospective faculty mem
bers who have children. tha'
question is frequently raised"
Mrs. John McKenny. wifi,

They have 7-year-old daugh
ter in the private school.
