Integration Improved
Schools, Hansen Says

Five years Of integrated pub
lie schools in the District have
resulted in a dramatic" i'm
provement of academic stand
ards, according to District
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen.
DR.. Hansen said the rise in
standards has been accom-
panied by a drop in juvenile
delinquency.
In a report published yes
terday by the Anti Defamation
League Of B'nai Birth, DR.
Hansen stated:
"Integration has not retarded
the achievement of high ability
students, Negro or white, and
education standards in the
District public schools are
high"
IS Per Cent Negroes
Since the public schools were
integrated in December, 1854
he said. serious incidents OF
behavior that seem to be pri-
marily racial in origin are rel
atively infrequent."
DR.. Hansen noted that the
Negro school population has
risen from 81 per cent of en-
rollment in 1854 to about 76
per cent last October.

But, he added, it would be
a mistake to attribute the
larger Negro population to in
tegration. The District, he
said, has become "a mecca
for the economically and So
cially handicapped" while the
more aff1uent families move to
the suburbs.
While acknowledging that
many women applicants are
reluctant to teach in the down.
town schools and that many
white applicants hesitate to
teach in the predominantly
Negro schools, DR.. Hansen
said:
"Desegregation has not re-
suited in a lowering Of teacher
standards"
He also commented: Zone
conclusion is clear: Desegre-
cation has not resulted in an
increase in juvenile delin-
quency."
At the same time. however,
DR.. Hansen noted an increase
since 1854 in vandalism, preg-
nancies, venereal disease and
the number Of students drop
ping out of school.
On the drop-out rate, he
said, "It is known that the
highest rate of drop-outs oc-
cured in schools where the en-
rollment is predominantly Neg
70. 1t is also known that the
drop-out rate is much higher
among boys than girls.
Fail to Use Opportunities
"The conclusion is that toe
many students have failed to
take advantage of their oppor-
Itunities for formal education, "
lDr. Hansen remarked. "The
reasons for this attitude, just
as in the case of vandalism,
lillegitimate pregnancies and
Ivenereal disease, go deep into
the lives, experiences and va
lues of youth.
These conditions" he con-
tinued, $50 far as demonstrated,
are not caused by desegrega-
ton. 1t is equally clear that
desegregation does not correct
them"
Since the District schools
were integrated. the spotlight
has been focused on the educa-
tional progress here. Segrega-
tionists have stated that inte-
grafton in the Nations Capital
resulted in lowered standards.
In disputing this contention,
DR.. Hansen also said that racial
Iintegration has had no effect
on the normal school social ac-
tivitieS.
On the touchy subject of ra-
cial intermarriages, he said
that, during the first four years
of integrated schools, only one
such marriage has been veri-
fed.
ut is difficult to assess the
school factor in this marriage, -
he said, "since other elements
must be reckoned with
(but) this fear that proximity
in school will induce intermar-
riage seems not to have been
realized"

New Librorion Hopes
To Avoid Controversy

Of opinion there.
"It's a fine State, full of nice
people," she said.
Miss Reed noted that "any-
one in his right senses doesn't
want controversy" and that
I'm not naturally controver-
sial."
She not only hopes there
won't be any controversy in
her new job, but sees mo
reason why there should be-"
Did the Right Thing
Miss Reed insisted she did the
right thing last May by taking
the book. "The Rabbits We'd
ding, of the open shelf.
The State library, she said,
is not actually open to the
public. 1t is primarily for local
Librarians who can come there
and borrow books for their own
libraries. These librarians could
still get the book by requesting
it, she said, and then would be
perfectly free to place it on the
open shelves in their own COM
munities.
By placing it on the request
shelf, Miss Reed noted, she was
trying to indicate that the book
was Of a controversial nature
and that the local librarians
many of them unframed
should realize just what they
were getting.
DeplOres Censorship
She deplores any censorship,
she said, and would never have
withdrawn the book completely
from circulation. The request
shelf seemed to me a good
place to keep it," she said. AL
though no direct pressure was
was put on her to withdraw the
book, she did know the volume
was under attack. II felt !
should avoid any direct attack,
if possible" she noted.
So far as the reading lists
are concerned. Miss Reed noted
that both lists were initially
prepared by the American Lii
brary Association. She made
no attempt to delete the Rev.
Kings book, she said, although
its inclusion caused quite a
furor." She said, "I just sat
quietly and let people talk"
Miss Reed has worked in Ii
braries in Detroit, Hawaii and
Louisiana. She also taught
briefly at Florida State Univer-
sity's School of Library Serv-

She regards it as a particu-

The Gold Rush

1t seems that Hall s. Lusk,
recently arrived on the Hill
from Oregon, is not the first
native of the District to re-
turn here as a United States
Senator.
There was Senator D. C.
David Colbreth) Broderick
from California. He was born
in Washington in 1920, the
son of an Irish stonecutter
working on the Capitol.
David went to New York
with his parents when he
was IA and served five years
apprenticeship in his ia
theirs trade.
He entered politics and
stood for Congress but was
defeated by a split in his own
(the Democraticl party. Dis
appointment as well as the
gold rush caused him to go
by the Isthmus route to Cali
fornia in 1849.
In San Francisco he found
there was a shortage of
coins. Everything was paid
for in gold dust, weighed on
the merchants scales. It was
a nuisance. Broderick start
ed to mint gold coins. Not
counterfeit, mere disks samp-
ed IS" or $40" There was
81 worth of gold in the
smaller coin, So in the larger.
Everyone knew it. Few mind
ed it. It was a convenience
and 1t was the start of his
fortune.
He read a great deal. Shell
ley was his favorite poet. He
did not drink, smoke or turn
q card. He never married.
and never was involved in a
scandal.
He introduced Tammany
methods and became boss of
San Francisco. In 1857 the
Legislature sent him to the
United States Senate. He ar
rived here in March of that
year.

HIS BIOGRAPHER apollo
gizes for Broderick's ora
tory. But he could express
himself with a dignity that
made up for the lack of rhet-
oric and flourish.
One day in the Senate
chamber, a Southern mem
Der contemptuously referred
to Northern laborers as
"mudsills."
Senator Broderick obtained
recognition and said:
"It is not long since I
served an apprenticeship of
five years at one of the most
laborious trades pursued by
man.
Il would not have alluded
to this If it were not for the
remarks of the Senator from
South Carolina, and that the
thousands who know that I
am the son of an artisan and
have been a mechanic would
feel disappointed if I did not
reply.
II am not proud of this. I
am sorry it is true. I would
that I could have enjoyed
the pleasures of life in my
boyhood days, but they were
denied me. I say this with
pain. I have not the admira-
ton for the men of that
class from which / sprang
that might be expected; they
submit too tamely to oppres-
sion, and are too prone to
neglect their rights and
duties as citizens.
But under our form of
government, they will con-
troll the destines OF this Ma
ton. If I were inclined to
forget my connection with
them, this would not be the
place. I have but to look at
the beautiful capitals adorn-
ing the pilasters that sup
port the roof to be reminded
of my fathers talent and
handiwork.
II sincerely hope the time
will come when such
speeches as that of the Sena-
tor from South Carolina will
be considered a lesson to
the laborers of the Nation. |"
