1t has been the fate Of the
South to have been continu-
ally tied to the rack of
change. The Indians were not
removed from the Deep
South cotton states until the
1905. By the time the rest
less land-seekers from Tenn
esSee, Virginia, South Caro-
lima and New England had
moved in, taken up land and
sowed it in cotton, the ten
sions of the impending Civil
War produced the travail of
change. There followed the
war, the reconstruction, the
New South" binge when
schools, health and medical
care and all things cultural
were sacrificed in a pooling
of all possible capital to at
tract industry.
Since about 1920, when the
boil weevil ended the old crop
system, and with it the ten
ant and Sharecropper evils,
the South has been torn away
from its past. 1t is wrong to
speak of a New South.
There isn't one. There is an
emerging South. The future
is not yet in focus. 1t will
not be, so long as the South
ern Senators and Congress-
men, the Governors and bus
lnesSmen refuse to under
stand what has happened to
them-and what is to tran
Spire.
Good People Involved
The tragedy Of this is that
good people, as fine as any
where in the Nation, are in
volved. They will follow lead
ership if it is available. They
are regionally loyal. There
fore, they have listened for
a long time to falsehoods
and distortions. Now, they
are beginning to see and to
understand they have been
deceived for the political
benefit of others.
The magnificent thing
about Atlanta'S successful
desegregation day was that
it was a voluntary thing.
There was, to be sure, a court
order. But it had been &C
cepted. There was a genuine
relief in having done with
shabby, untrue receptions
and cheap rationalizationS.
To those who had worked
with it, the greatest thrill
was the faith of the parents
and the children. The ped
dlerS of untruth had sought
to produce a boycott with a
campaign of vulgar decep-
tionS and lies. They tried to
frighten the parents.
But, on the appointed day
the children were there,

suit of adjacent buildings
being razed to make way for
the new Lewis Elementary
School. School officials admit
the rubble has not been
hauled away as fast as it piled
up, but that, they say, is the
contractors responsibility.
School Spokesmen contend
that the general disorder in
volved in the repair work,
ratings and new construction
is no excuse for such vandal-
ism. The Mott remodeling
was delayed by late delivery
of steel beamS.)

Those times when I have

not understand my distress
at the prospect of serving. I
hope they all read Ralph

described the poignancy of
human tragedy in these daily

STAGGERED School Plan

the word in it's untechnical
sense.
Suppose, for the sake of
another example, the school
has grades l through 6 and
a junior high school of
grades Z, 8. and 9, for a total
of 1900 students. Each group
accordingly should have ap-
proximately 800 students.
This time Group A is formed
by grades l and 5; Group B,
by grades 2 and 6; Group C,
by grades 3 and 4; Group D,
by grades 7, 8, and 9, with
100, and 80 students respec-
lively.
In grades through 6, with
an average class size of 30,
Groups A, B, and C would
have 10 teachers each.
In Group D, grades 7, 8,
and 9, teachers are employed
for subjects rather than
grades. There are at least
five basic subjects English,
mathematics, science, social
studies, foreign languages. If
we assume an average class
size of 80, there would be
three classes in each subject
in grades 7 and 9, and four
classes in each subject in
grade 8, for a total of so
classes. If the average teach
ing load is five classes, this
would require 10 teachers
two in each of the five sub
jects.
The educational interests
of each student, no matter
what the grade, would sug-
geSt that the teachers be on
the same rotational pattern
as the students. The 10
teachers in each Of Groups
A, B, and C would thereby be
with the students in those
groups in each Of the three
12-week periods. Since there
would be two teachers for
each subject in grades 7.
8, and 9, this would permit
limited variation of subject
matter according to student
ability and interest. Most
likely it would be possible to
have six, seven, or eight SUBJ
jects, if the students varied
widely in ability and inter-
eSts. This would make sched-
uling more complicated, and
require a few teachers COM
petent in two or perhaps, on
occasion, three related sub
jects. This is not unheard of
even in these days of in
creased specialization.
From this brief analysis
and discussion of the 1874
scheme, a few tentative con-
clusions may be suggested.
A system of rotation should
not be difficult through
grade six. In junior and
senior high schools, with
emphasis on SUBJ ects rather
than grades, the problem of
scheduling is much more
difficult, but not impossible.
Since students do vary in
ability and interests, the
greater difficulties will un-
doubtedly be found in the
smaller schools, particularly
on the high school levels.
The problems of family
vacations and teacher i'm
provement through summer
school study will not be easy
to solve. But colleges have
been known to meet teachers
needs before, even at the
dreadful risk of changing old
established patterns. And
American parents are known
for their adaptability.

specialist from VPI. will con-
duct special interest meeting
on Wills and Deeds, Tuesday
afternoon. Aug. %. at 1870 pm.
in the conference room of the
Union Bank and Trust Co.
Any interested persons are in
vited to participate in this pro-
gram. The question as to what
will become of your property is
of vital and immediate concern
to the owners and those who are
to share in the estate.
1t is the primary purpose of
this meeting to remind property
owners of the necessity for pre-
pairing a will which will safe
guard against confusion, uncer-
tainty. and misunderstanding in
disposing of their property after
their death.
The information is not intend
ed to be substitute for personal
advice and guidance by legal
counsel. Many things peculiar
to your situation deserve more
specific thought and attention
and Mrs. O'Brien will give sug-
gestions of where to obtain this
help.
There will also be a discussion
of Inheritance laws in Virginia
and other timely topics. Time
will be allowed for a question
and answer period.

AMELIA, Aug. "a How to
Buy Cosmetics will be the sub
ject Of a special training meet
ing for home management lead
ers of Amelia county HID clubs
when Mrs. Ocie j. O'Brien.
h me management specialist
from VPI, will be here on Tues
day, August %, in the confer
ence room of the Union Bank
and Trust Co., at $50 am.
More and more families and
individuals realize the need for
guidance and training which will
help them evaluate products and
services in their daily environ
ment.
Consumer education means
something more than consumer
information and is more neceS-
sary than ever before. One rea-
son is that there is a tremendous
amount of so-called consumer
information floating over the air
and covering printed pages.
Most of this information is pro-
vided by sellers of goods or ser
vices in an endeavor to induce
consumers to buy their goods.
Some of this information is
accurate and dependable. Some
Of it is subtly misleading. There
fore, consumers need educa-
ton to help them develop the
ability to analyze, to judge, TO
evaluate. and to act with pur-
pose. HID club members hope to
learn how to do this at this
meeting.

Shear Sheep Early

Springtime is sheep shearing
time, and early shearing before
warm weather, will make ewes
more comfortable. Early shorn
ewes will milk better and lambs
will grow faster, and fatter, too
Provide shelter for at least two
weeks after shearing, County Ag-
ent VIM. II. Henderson said.
1t takes twelve months to pro-
duce fleece of wool. and care
at shearing time will insure top
value. Henderson emphasized the
following points:
Sheep must be dry at shearing
time. Keep straw, hay. and chaff
out of fleeces. Shear on a clean
floor and keep it clean. Remove
dung locks. Burs, seeds, or any
foreign matter reduce value of the
fleece. Avoid second cuts. Second
cuts reduce value of fleece greatly.
Roll fleece with clean side out.
Tie flecs with paper Irvine My.
Do not tie name tags or identifi-
cation on fleece or bags with bind
er or sisal Irvine.
Store wool in a clean, dry place
until it goes to market.
