The American boy has
changed but little in his
heart during the last half
century. Outwardly however
the years have brought many
startling changes-some good
and some not good. Life was
hard for the boy of long ago,
and there was dispensation to
shield growing boys. They
ate heartily, played roughly,
fused and fought, and this
might bewilder todays gene
ration-but they worked.
There were groceries to get,
and mama didn't go to the
supermarket in a car. That's
for sure, for she had no car.
There was wood to cut, and
coal to fetch and ashes to
carry out. The boys of that
day worked the garden, plan
ted the flowers and trimmed
the hedges. Moved the lawn,
gathered the eggs, fed the
hens. He also had to feed,
water and curry the horses,
and know how to hitch the
animal to the family rig.
Hay had to be pitched fork
ed from the hay loft in the
barn, stalls had to be cleaned,
COWS MIXED and an endless
number of other chores to do.
And the boys were supposed
to be just a bundle of speed,
always cheerful, happy, and
obedient.

kicked and trampled by the

ATQUE VALE
JOHN STEINBECK

Negro will be game and will not
complain at decision.
In Little Rock we knew that
any brutality would originate
among the whites.
For a long time whites would
not compete against Negroes for
fear they might lose. 1t was said
that their coordination-it was
called animal coordination-was
better and their physical res
ponses quicker.
If there is racial trouble, we
are convinced that Negroes will
not strike the first blow, will
not attack in the night, will not
set off bombs, and our belief
is borne out by events.
We expect Negroes to be
good-tempered and self-con-
trolled under all circumstances.
But our greatest expectation
is that they will be honest, hon.
orable, and decent. This is the
most profound compliment we
can pay any man or group. And
the proof of this shows in our
outrage when a Negro does not
live up to the picture we ordin-
arily have of him.
With thousands Of burglaries,
muggings, embellishments re-
ported every day, we are upset
when a Negro is found doing
what so many whites do regu-
larly.
In New York, with its daily
reports of public thefts, decelts,
and assorted political and fiscal
raids on public money and trea-
son against public trust, one

am constantly amazed at the
qualities we expect in Negroes.
No race has ever offered another
such high regard. We expect
Negroes to be wiser than we
are, more tolerant than we are,
drawer, more dignified than we,
more self-controlled and self
disciplined. We even demand
more talent from them than
from ourselves. A Negro must
be ten times as gifted as white
to receive equal recognition. We
expect Negroes to have more
endurance than we in athletics,
more courage in defeat, more
rhythm and versatility in music
and dancing, more controlled
emotion in theatre. We expect
them to obey rules of conduct
we flout, to be more courteous.
more gallant, more proud, more
steadfast. In word, while
maintaining that Negroes are
inferior to us, by our unques-
tioning faith in them we prove
our conviction that they are
superior in many fields, even
fields we are presumed to be
trained and conditioned in and
they are not.
Let me give few examples.
In the Alabama bus boycott
we knew there would be no
Negro violence and there
wasn't. The only violence was
white violence.
In the streets we expect
courtesy from Negroes even
when we are ugly and over
bearing.
