No Negro Con Afford

To all men come occasional moments Of
contentment: the peace at the end of an
honest days work, the enchantment of a
favorite symphony or a rapturous moment
of love But unless he is old enough to await
the call of his Maker, or too young to be
concerned with this man-made chaos into
which he was born, no Negro can afford
the luxury of being satisfied. - EBONY

Language Labs
Planning Urged
b. the Associated Press

Foreign-language laborator-
les in high schools are only as
good as the teachers who su-
pervise their use. the United
States Office of Education said
yesterday.
In a report on one of the
faStest-growing Developments
in education, the office advised
high schools to do the most
careful kind of planning" be-
fore installing a language lab.
The report noted there were
only 64 such language labs in
the high schools in 1858, but
more than $500 today.
Before installing a language
lab, the Office of Education
said, the high school should
provide special training for the
classroom teacher. Otherwise,
it said, the lab will be of little
use.

United Sfufes Land
To Aid Education

Estabi Shment of a new public
land pricing schedule that will be of
major aid in reducing school con-
strucion costs in 18 States was an
nounced today by Interior Secreta-
ry Stewart L. Udall.
Under the new schedule, States,
local governments and non-profit
private organizations may obtain
public land sites for school con-
struction for 81. so an acre, with a
limit of $40 acres within any sim
gle year.
The move scraps former poll
cy of requiring those e e king
school sites to pay up to so per-
cent of normal market price for the
public land. Such high price tag
seriously handicapped some COM
munities seeking expansion of edu-
cational facilities in the past, Sec
rotary Udall said.
Secretary Udall said the action
was another step in an Inferior De-
partment program encouraging the
transfer of suitable public land to
public use under State or local con-
troll. Aprevious administrative or
der has openedup expansion of park
and Eecreational facilities by maxi
ing public lands available for these
purposes at the same low cost to
States and local governments.
The newpricing schedule will be
a major aid in school construction
programs in II Western States and
Alaska, which embrace large pub
lie land acreages, as well as those
having smaller holdings, such as
Mimi sofa, Louisiana, Florida,
Arkansas, Alabama and Wisconsin.
Secretary Udall pointed out that
those States, local governments
and nOn-profit groups seeking edu-
cational sites must agree to dedi-
cate the facilitie S to use by all
Americans without discriminate
or favor. In addition, the lands must
be forever dedicated to public use.
or they will revert to the Federal
Government, as provided by recent
Congressional action.
