exploins how this exception TO the
rule prepered the path to woF.
to break up the Union when
there was more important work
to do. Apparently nobody paid
much attention.
Problem Kept Hidden
In any case, neither the ,po-
litical conventions nor the CAM
paign brought any real dis
cussion Of the underlying issue.
There were many speeches and
editorials. most of them con-
sisting simply Of denunciations
of the opposition. Political
marching clubs were formed,
to parade and cheer and make
music. Nowhere in the record
of that 1850 campaign can you
find any real effort by anybody
to bring the terrible problem
out into the open and explore
the possibilities of a settlement.
The Southern extremists
said that If the anti-slavery
crowd won the election the
Southern States would secede;
the Northern extremists said
that this was nonsense---just
empty talk raised for political
effect. Lincoln kept silent. The
Constitutional Union Party de-
plored all Of the angry talk,
and Senator DouglaS-the only
candidate who really got on the
stump and tried to make q
campaign Of it-found that in
the North he was running
against Lincoln. and in the
South against Breckenridge.
In the end, Of course. Lincoln
was elected, with a solid elec-
toral majority and a solid mi
nority of the popular vote. But
the trouble now was that this
election. with everything that
had gone before, had simply
brought things to a head in
stead Of providing a solution
for anything.
Tomorrow: The fateful de.
cision.

The cited these additional
"disproportions":
. The cost of the instruction.
al staff rose from $13,759, 1876
in 1888 to $3O,447,819 in 1860
81, for an increase of 1912 per
cent.
The total number of non.
Institutional employees rose
from 1885 in 1888 to 2059 in
1960-61; for an increase of 54.2
per cent.
. The cost of the noninstruc-
tional staff rose during the
same period from $3,475,O 900 to
81, 256, 344, for increase of 108
per cent.
"If this ratio of direct to in

it will cost $500 by 1865 to send

only to run up the annual cost
per pupil from a 1860 figure
of $439 to $3.50 for 1861 without
providing a single measurable
advance in the amount of
quality of in.class education"
the statement asserted.
Increases Challenged
Members of the trade groups,
"as citizens demonstratively in
terested in the affairs of our
county" are willing and, in
fact, anxious to advance the
effectiveness of the education
our children and those of our
neighbors can receive" the
statement said.
"But, as businessmen and
members of the chambers, we
feel we speak from knowledge
when we challenge a budget re-
quest that is UP 10 per cent
when new student enrollments
are to be increased by only 7.3
per cent next year." it con.
tinued.
"Disproportionate" increases
in school budget costs over the
past four years were cited by
Frank E. Wall, r., president of
the county chamber. He point
ed out that it costs 50 per cent
more to educate each county
pupil now than it did four years
ago.
while there are now 81 per
cent more students than in 1857
So, the total school staff costs
have gone up more than three
times that percentage to 119
per cent of the 1888 level, and
the cost of employees other than
teachers has actually risen 124
per cent" Wall said.
Interpretations" Cited
"The inbalance is growing too
rapidly between direct and in.
direct aids to pupil education"
Wall commented.

South African Paper crifieizes
Queen Elizabeth For
Dnneinu With Nkrumnh

Port Elizabeth, South Africa
(ANP)-South Africa's concept of
if it's not all white, it just isn't
right came to light again last week
when the Nationalist newspaper
Die Oosterlig criticized Queen
Elizabeth for dancing with Presi-
dent Kwame Nkrumah on her re-
cent tour of Ghana.
The newspaper printed a photo
of the queen on the dance floor
with the West African leader and
in an accompanying editorial OBJ
served:
This proves it's just as well
South Africa is no longer linked
with the Commonwealth the
Afrikaans-speaking person, with
his deep-rooted color feeling must
not be blamed if he is disguised
over the spectacle Of the British
queen on the dance floor with a
black dictator of Africa"
In another commentary, Die
Oosterlig called the queens action
"abominable and a piteful outrage
of dignity"
The big English-language news
papers in johannesburg skipped
the picture of the queen and Nltru-
nah dancing apparently because
they did not think it would do the
English cause here any good and
because most of them disapprove
of Nkrumah and his policies. These
papers did publish photos of the
queen riding alongside Nkrumah
on her tour and also printed Die
Oosterlig's critical commentary.
