One Big Classroom

world is shrinking all the time, the re-
port argues that national observers
are especially we'll qualified to assess
the international DEFICIENCIES what
ever that means - "of our domestic
educational system"
Let's consider the meaning of some
of these words. Public educational pol
icy. The nationals educational CON
science. The goals of our national So
ciety. National observers. The implica-
ton, clearly, is Federal control of the
nations schools.
For what is the sense of having a
Federally determined educational pol
icy" if the Government does not enforce
it.? Who could ignore the prompting
of self-appointed IN a tt onal CON
science" that had the power to compel
obedience? Similarly, what good are
goals" if society does not move toward
them? Presumably, the national OBJ
servers" would see to that.
In order to make such a system work,
the proposed Federal Agency would
have to regulate every aspect of edu-
cation right down to the teacher, the
classroom and the textbook.
Here, then, is bureaucratic dream
of pupils, teachers and parents assem-
bled in one big classroom, responding
to the national purpose" laid down by
their all-wise Federal Government. And
since the only purpose" apparent in
Washington these days is aggrandize-
ment of the Government and centraliza-
ton of power at the expense of individ-
ual freedom, the vision of the dreamers
is consistent and nightmarish.
Logic and experience show beyond
doubt that Federal aid is followed by
Federal control All the same, it's use
full for the nation to have, from the edu-
cational planners themselves, this blue
print for Federal takeover.

example, a band OF 20 Negro
youths crashed into a white
high school sorority party at
Los Angeles, using clubs, ham
mers and pitchforks as instru-
ments of social introduction.
In between these widely sepa-
rated incidents have been scores
OF episodes which have just as
clearly illustrated the over
Weening desire of the "pushy
Negro to force his way into
white company. The situation
now is being aggravated by
plous preachments from Attor-
ney General Robert F. Kennedy
and Labor Secretary Arthur j.
Goldberg that private white
clubs should admit Negroes.
Is it fair to ask that all Negro
Elks' clubs open their doors to
white members? Or that other
Negro fraternal. religious, 0r
social orders abandon their ex
clusivity? Or that B'nai Birth
Join with the YMCA, or that
the Knights OF Columbus merge
with the Masons, or that all Sc,
lectivlty of association be forth
with abandoned?
The idea is fatuous and pre-
pOsterous.
The right of freedom of as
ISOLATION carries with it the right
to be free Of unWanted associa-
ton. Furthermore. it is a proper
exercise of the police power to
protect an individual or a group
OF individuals from unwanted
and unWarranted interference
just so long as everyone rights
are preserved.
But there is a difference be-
tween rights and wishes. And
there is vast gap between
yearning for acceptance and
earning acceptance.
If the races are to meet upon
terms of social equality" a law
F.. minded Supreme Court said
back in 1896, 1T must be the
result of natural affinities, a
mutual appreciation of each 9TH
er's merits, and a voluntary
consent of individuals. -
That formula is still good.

Freedom OF DISSATISFACTION

The young Negro "jail
baiters" who are marrying the
South these days have been
trained to accept abuse YER
bal and physical = from the
white persons whom they de-
liberately provoke.
What a pity it is that these
same Negroes cannot learn to
accept association with their
own race. just a fraction of the
determination, the dedication
and the discipline which impels
them to insinuate themselves
among white persons could make
them much more tolerant of as
ISOLATION with their fellow Ne
! groes.
It is not a question OF anyone's
being denied the right to travel

lines. railroads. and air lines
are concerned with the color OF
money, not of skin. It is not a
question of lacking waiting
rooms, or rest rooms, or eating

The Negro agitator repudiates
the idea that individuals OF
groups of likeminded individuals
have any right of privacy. This
attitude is evidenced time and
again by Negroes who go out

uratively. to inject themselves
into white company, whether in
public or private surroundings

Editor of Herald:
1t is hard to project ones
thinking ten years hence but it
might be good that we do so
that we may now select the
proper course. Some children
should be getting their diplomas
in 1871 but rather than receiving
a diploma a child named Joe
may ask, Papa, how come I
never went to SCHOOL," Most
likely Papa will recite from
memory why his son never went
to school but his answers may
not satisfy Joe's mind. Papa
will then read history books to
Joe. newspaper and magazine
articles. But Joe is not satisfied
and he may ask other people
the same question. all giving
him different answers as to why
he never went to school. Joe
will know that many children
went to school and will blame
some one for his lack of an edu-
cation.

We called that attitude "Patri-

Then came the Socialist Plan
ners with their contempt for the
Constitution and their lack of
confidence in ordinary people,
burning with a zeal to manage
your affairs and mine, set in
their conviction we are not able
to care for ourselves.
Beginning with the least COM

its sense of participation. of re-
sponsibility, until now even those
among the topnost rung have
shucked their duties as citizens

Emotionally, we are no longer
players, only pap-sucking spec
tators.
So, as the drama unfolds, as
the crime rates mount to proper

watch with a detached air and
don't raise a hand or an in

can't; we have been robbed of
whatever talent we may once
have had to speak our lines, to
govern ourselves. to turn back
an evil.
That is gone. And, mOre's the

Ten days or so ago, the At
torney General of the United
States went to some pains in
lecturing the American people
on their apathetic attitude to-
wards crime.
Which is well enough: Crime
is something to talk about and
so is the let-George-do-it attitude
of our people. For, truth is, un-
less a crime relates directly to
US, it is just something we read
of in the papers. Only that and
little more.
The Attorney General, rightly
enough, says this is cause for
alarm. that unless our people
snap out of it, pit themselves as
individuals against vice, etc.
All of which is true enough and
all of which begs the question.
Why not come honest about
the situation?
How has this apathy come
about? Why have we lost our
sense of outrage? Why does it
make so little personal differ
ence to us that criminal Incl
dence in these so United States
has risen 100 per cent since 1910

while our population has gone
up but IS per cent? Why is
that? Why do we have no feel

Why don't we do anything about

Safety Consciousness

another vehicle With all of these safety
devices the State has attempted to give
motorists aid in the operation of their
vehicles.
Semi-annual inspections of all motor
vehicles are required by the State in an
attempt to eliminate mechanical defects
in vehicles which may cause accidents.
Relatively few accidents are caused by
mechanical defects.
The State has done what it could to
protect both the operators and the pub
lie from controllable accidents.
Accidents on the highways as we'll as
elsewhere are due generally to human
error. They decrease or increase in pro-
portion as we exert care in operating
our vehicles. Until and unless the driv-
ing public becomes conscious of the
dangers of improper operation of We
hicles, the highway toll of life will con-
tinue. AS we mourn our loved ones may
we resolve to use our influence and our
example to increase care in using the
highways.

DIG new program of Federal aid to
education may or may not be dead
for the session of Congress, but the
proponents of Federal control OF the
schools are very much alive and kick
ing
To be sure, the advocates of FEEDER
al aid to education usually say that the
thought of Federal control never en-
tered their minds. Well, perhaps it
hasn't entered some minds, but there's
no doubt that many in Washington are
thinking that way.
Specifically, the T. S. Office of Edu-
cation, a part Of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare, is astir
these days with burgeoning sense of
mission. Indeed, a committe on the Of
fees mission and organization has
come up with a report urging whole
sale expansion of the Federal role in
education.
The report is entitled "A Federal
Education Agency For the Future" =
name which, in the works of the au-
tors, reflects nothing more or less than
a change in public conviction as to the
role of the Federal Government in the
area of education" On the strength of
Federal aid to schools in 'impacted
areas" and the National Defense Edu-
cation Act, the report asserts the need
for an Agency speaking within the
Federal Government for the ong-term
interests of education :. and (render-
ing) assistance in the development Of
public educational policy" In short,
says the report, the Agency would be
'the voice of the nations educational
conscience"
What would this Agency talk about?
According to the report, it would I'M
dertake the formulation, examination
and accumulation of the goals of our
national society in terms of educational
detectives" Beyond that, because the

Catholic, Representative Mad
den of Illinois, was among six
Democrats opposing delay or
the school bills. Mr.. Delaney
remarked that "it would be just
as fair to report that all the

cans were ProteStantS."
The teachers salaries provi-
sion was at the root of Mr.. De-
laney's opposition, he disclosed
He explained he was not con-
vinced that Federal aid to edu-
cation is desirable as such. He
contended that if Congress
voted to give Federal aid to
public schools for the first time
in an across-the-b board manner
it would open the way for an
nual demands for constantly
expanding outlays.
This, he charged, would lead
not only to excessive Federal
control but eventually to a
"Single monolithic school Sys-
tenn" in the United States. He
said that if Congress voted
such Federal aid, especially for
teachers salaries, it at least
should provide such aid for all
schools.
