believes that if the teaching m
enough parent interest, any chill
of the feeble-minded one-can and
will learn.
This was the thesis he presented
to a group of parents and teachers
at Norfolk Division, Virginia State
college.
DR.. Hansen spoke to the group
by way of ampHfied telephone fac
ilities from Washington and again
dramatically exploded the myth
that children with "culturally-dis-
advantaged" backgrounds cannot
learn we'll.
On the contrary, they can and
will learn as well as anybody else
If availed to certain types Of teach
ing and parent interest, DR.. Han
sen declared.
The highly respected educator
was not merely stating theory in
this telephoned message to the
local group. He was backing up
his observations with results of the
much discussed Amidon Plan
which was tried in the Washington
school system.
Results of the Amidon Plan ex-
pertinent saw Negro pupils post
ing test scores on intelligence and
achievement superior to scores
posted by all other school chill
dren in the Washington, Maryland
and Virginia area, and racking up
scores higher than the national
average.
Despite their so-called "cultur-
ally-disadvantaged" backgrounds,
DR.. Hansen said the students were
able to achieve these goals because
of teaching methods and principles.
Basic among these methods and
principles and urged by DR.. Han
sen are:
u The beginning Of reading and
writing in the kindergarten.
p A tremendous emphasis on
the language arts to overcome
language deterrents.
g. The teaching Of phonics.
~ The elimination of the ac-
tivity unit and the substitution Of
a graded curriculum guide and a
textbook for everyone.
81 The partial elimination Of
pupil-led group work and the sub
stitution of the teacher-led class
with emphasis on discussion and
recitation.
81 The beginning of us. geog-
raphy in grade 4.
y The beginning of us. history
and government in grade 5.
81 The beginning Of world his
tory and geography in grade 8.
81 Increased parental interest
and homework, and
10) Judicious use Of homework.
DR.. Hansen, in a question and
answer period, was careful to point
out that the experiment was not
designed to fit "the culturally dis
advantaged" children alone but
would seem to hold great promise
for the development Of this child
along with all children. He also
noted that half Of the teachers in
Washington schools are Negro and
that seventy per cent Of the pupils
are Negro.
The discussion was recorded on
tape and prescriptions may be
secured on loan from the college
by interested persons or groups.
The amplified telephone method of
using consultative services Is new
in Tidewater.

cestry is a wrong of manifold di-
The commission says that ION
the personal plane, it is an af-
front to human dignity. On the
legal plane, in many cases, it is
a violation of the Constitution, of
legislation, or of national policy.
On the economic and social plane,
discrimination may result in a
waste Of human resources and an
unnecessary burden to the COM
munity."
The Houston study bears this
out. 1t notes that Negroes suffer
early from job disadvantages in
public schools, which deny them
training for work not "appropri-
ate" in a community that regards
mental labor :. as Negro work I"
and that discrimination bars them
from good jobs, work for which
they are skilled, and advancement.
Price Ignored
Furthermore, it is fallacious to
justify the status quo on grounds
that change will be too disruptve,
either for an individual firm or
the Houston business community
at large. Such arguments rest on
the false premise that social
change of this magnitude costs too
great a price-that in the inter-
est of harmony the status quo
should be maintained.
This premise and the argu-
ments which derive from 1t ignore
the price which the community
now pays by keeping one-fifth of
its population at an educational,
occupational, economic and social
disadvantage.
The waste in Houston is enor-
NOUS"
While the first SRC study con-
Germs only Houston, there are
strong indications that future
studies of other southern commun-
tiles will find the same general
pattern throughout the South.
Training Limited
For example, the Civil Rights
Commission reports that the var
iety and type Of vocational courses
offered at Negro schools are often
quite different from those offered
at white schools Negro stu
dents being offered training only
for those jobs in which they have
traditionally been employed, such
as semi-skilled and service occupa-
tons, rather than for those more
highly skilled jobs where openings
exist and continue to increase.
The SRC survey found that II
by considerable personal sacrifice
or, perhaps, fortuitous circumstan-
ces a Houston Negro is motivated
to acquire vocational slIills, achieve
a college education and profess
sional status, he Is likely to be
rejected because of local custom.
Consequently, to be employed on
equal status with whites in any
capacity becomes a major break

Three Case Histories

wrong and not in accord with a
democratic society is to state the
obvious" the report observes.
The study offers three typical
case histories: A Negro engineer

The waste of Negro manpower
Is described as enormous" ir
Houston, deriving from the edu.
cational, economic, occupational
and social deprivations Of Ne
groes."
Waste Deplored
The report says that Of all the
situations encountered, none seems
more wasteful or illogical than the
fact that Negroes trained in in
dustrial skills and even in pro-
fessional categories often work II
jobs far below their capabilities.
Negroes with college degree:
drive trucks and work as delivery
men. The likelihood that theil
training will be put to practica

Negroes are working for firms II

Purpose To Survey
In announcing the purposes o
the Survey, Leslie Dunbar, execu
tive director of the Southern Re
gional Council, says:
Negroes are our greatest TN
developed national resource. Tn,
country cannot continue to short
change itself in the development
of the slills and talent of NOR
than a tenth Of its population
Nor can we continue to educat
Negroes for jobs which we refus
to let them hold"
The Houston survey was mad
by Art Gallagher Jr., associate pro
lessor of anthropology and SOC
iology at the University Of Hous
ton.
Vocational Bars
The report on the survey say
that the picture that emerge
from this brief survey is clearl,
delineated."
Discriminatory conditions whicl
materially affect occupational op
portunity begin early for Houston
Negroes. They are barred from
the city's only full-time vacations

system defines as most appropri

In May of this year, the Supreme
Court considered the case of three
former CTS who we're demanding

ment Who we're these men?
They were enlisted men in the
U. S. Army captured during the
Korean War in 1850 and 1851. In
the prison camps to which they
were sent, they behaved with ut
ter disloyalty to their fellow pris-
oners and to this country. After
the Korean armistice in the sum-
mcr of 1858, they refused repatria-
ton and went to Communist China
They were formally discharged
from the Army in 1854. In 1855
they returned to the United States
Later that year they filed claims
with the Army for accrued pay
and allowances between the time

charge. The claims were denied
and when they brought their case
before the U. S. Court of Claims
that court ruled: Neither the light
of reason nor the logic of analysis
of the undisputed facts of record
can possibly justify the granting of
a judgment favorable to these
plaintiffs"
The Supreme Court over-ruled
the Court of Claims. 1t explained
that the three men, disloyal as
they had been in the Korean pris-

until 1854 and that no law existed
