Now, without forsaking the
standard pate altogether,
wouldn't it be possible to put
some of the club members them
selves to constructive work?
Here's what suggest:
Specify one meeting a month,
or every other month. for up
dating the membership on what
is going on in the world about
them. Every body reads the
papers, of course, but the aver
age service club members has
little time to become really in
formed on all the serious issues
of the day. So, let's launch a
cooperative program of mutual
self-help in keeping abreast of
the times.
For a given program month
or two in the future, let's assign
! four of our members a specific
area of concern. Let DR.. A spec

ments between now and the date
set for the meeting. Lawyer

bility for briefing the club on the
European situation, and Mer-
chant C can devote his. atten-
tons to the Latin American
scene.
The program chairman can act
as moderator, set the stage,
ride herd on his specialists, and
field the questions which are
bound to come from the group.
The net result should be slim
ulating program and the diffu-
sion Of some knowledge.
The same sort of approach can
be used on studies of national
affairs. or even of state and To-
cal affairs. And. of course,
the specialists should be
changed with each such meeting
SO as to get everybody into the
act.
1t is surprising how much in
formation is available to the or
binary mortal who takes the
trouble to keep his eyes and ear
open. The man concerned fol

situation, for example, will fine

Questions Not Decided

whether parents might receive scholar
ships to provide education for their
children in a private school whether it
be operated as racially segregated
school or racially integrated school,
1t may be said properly that this
question was not before the court. We
would gather that this question will be
before the court. Robert D. Robertson,
of Norfolk, president of the Virginia
NAACP said that public schools in
Prince Edward County would be COM
pletely unacceptable as long as the
county's white children continue to at
tend private, segregated schools. 1t
would appear that the NAACP leader
is not interested in education for the
children of Prince Edward county, un-
less it be in integrated public schools.
Robert L. Carter, NAACP general
counsel, said the group (NAACP) will
appeal the federal courts refusal to
enjoin the closing Of public schools in
Prince Edward. So the decision seems
not to please the NAACP leaders
There are many legal questions yet
to be decided in this case before any
final determination can be had. Now
that scholarships have been taken away
from the parents Of Prince Edward
County, the last chance of any private
school education either segregated or
integrated for the Negroes has been con-
Guided Scholarships are unavailable to
white parents unless integrated public
schools are reestablished.
Public reactions from NAACP lead
ers indicate further legal attacks on
the validity of scholarships in Prince
Edward County, unless private schools
are integrated.
To establish the new basis of educa-
ton by means of decisions of federal
courts Legislation by judicial process)
may take an indefinite amount of time
This leaves the Negro parents with lit
tie hope of educational opportunities
for their children this session, and
places considerable burden on the white
parents Of the county.
We feel sure that the Prince Edward
School Foundation will provide means
for educating those enrolled in its
schools without undue hardship on the
individual parents. For the past two
years satisfactory education has been
continued through efforts Of the Found
alton, and it would seem that housing
which presented problems two years
ago has been substantially settled fol
this year.
May we express the prayer that the
same calm, careful consideration which
has characterized the people of the
county for the past ten years be given
to effect a solution Of this dilemma
The problem is still in it's legal phase
and may well continue before the courts
for some time vet.

JUDGE Oren Lewis decision in the
, case of Eva Allen vs. County School
Board Of Prince Edward is as import
ant for what it did not decide as it was
for what it did decide.
Judge Lewis did not decide basic
question, namely.
"Can the public schools, heretofore
maintained in Prince Edward County, be
closed in order to avoid the racial dis
elimination prohibited by the Fourteenth
Amendment?"- asks in his decision.
''Since the final answer to that question
requires the Interpretation of perhaps
several sections of the Virginia Constitu-
ton and statutes adopted pursuant there
to, federal abstinence is the proper pro-
cedure" the opinion states.
Counsel for all parties having indicated
that an appropriate suit would be forth
with instituted in the Virginia Courts, this
Court will defer its ruling this question
until the Supreme Court of Appeals CT Vir-
ginia has rendered its decision, provided
that the said suit is filed within sixty days
from this date it added.
1t would appear to us that the ques-
ton of the responsibility for operation
of public schools needs to be deter
mined as basic principle in the devel-
opment and maintenance of education.
Judge Lewis, during the trial Of this
case, asked repeatedly that this ques-
ton be determined by the State courts
Judge Lewis did not decide on the
constitutionality of county ordinances
and State laws providing for the edu-
cation of the individual child through
a scholarship
I'VE do not hold that these County or
dinances are facialy unlawful, he said.
I'VE hold only that they become unlawful
when used to accomplish unlawful end
the perpetuation of segregated schooling
in Prince Edward County,
He did not rule on whether or not
scholarship programs and the tax
credits are constitutional, but he holds
that their use is unlawful so long as
public schools (Which must be racially
integrated) are not in operation in
this county.
The practical effect of this decision
is that Judge Lewis on the one hand
said the question of requiring Prince
Edward to open public schools is mat
ter for the State Courts to ascertain
first and states that Federal Courts
should not consider this question now.
But he rules on other state and county
laws without hesitation, and uses his
judicial power, to require public schools
to be opened in order that certain state
laws may become operative in Prince
Edward County. This seemingly con-
tradiction is justified because it appears
to him that the Board of Supervisors,
acting upon citizens petitions, have been
found to be circumventing an order of
the federal court by failing to assess
taxes and appropriate funds for public
schools.
What Judge Lewis did not decide was,

with the task of screening the
