the man was drunk. About 8:15

lying in the same spot. This

Prince Edward Negro
Gets in School Stride

Last year the committee pro-
vided a years schooling here
for 10 screened youngsters from
Prince Edward, including two
of Willie's brothers who are
attending school elsewhere this
fall. The committee raised
some $1,000 for the project.
This year they found Willie
a home away from home-that
of Mrs. Ella Addye at 1241
Faraday place NE. They got
him a scholarship to st. Mar
tins Catholic School. So I
street NE, although he is
not a Catholic.
The other students the COM
mittee brought here are in
public and private schools
Tuition in District schools
which the committee pays, costs
from $3.50 to $444.
DR.. Furth and Mrs. Addye
agree that Willie is adjusting
well to his new life. In many
ways, DR.. Furth said, he and
the others will "learn things
here they would never get" in
their closed schools.
The committee intends to
stay in business until Prince
Edward County reopens its
schools, he said, and continue
its work through donations and
offers of homes. White chill
dren in the county have at
tended private classes set UP
for them, but the Negro young
sters have been virtually with
out schooling.

When Willie E. Barksdale
came to Washington a week
ago, he hadn't been to school
for three years. Now Is years
old, he has finished only the
third grade.
But Willie is "motivated to
learn" according to a psychol-
ogist, and because of this he
is holding his own in the sixth
grade, closer to his age group
Willie is one of 1,7OO Negro
youngsters shut out of their
schools in Prince Edward
County, Va, in 1859. After
three years of working on his
parents farm near Farmville
Va, he is back at his books
and happy about it.
He has discovered city life
is not easy. After his first
day back at school, he decided
to walk home, a distance Of
several miles. Willie walked
more than half way, and was
lost. He returned on foot to
school, boarded a bus and
finally made it.
But there are novelties the
city can offer that are denied
others in the country. Movies
for example. Willie saw his
first one last Saturday.
Willie's only possible failing
is that he doesn't seem to I'M
derstand why he is going to
school here. His education this
year, and those of IA other
Prince Edward Negroes, is be-
ing paid by the Prince Edward
Educational Committee for the
District of Columbia.
The committee is doing 1t
because I'VE thought we'd set
an example," DR.. Hans Furth,
associate professor of psychol-
ogy at Catholic university
said. He is chairman of the
committee.
However, he added. 1--WE never
thought that our program was
going TO solve this problem

Edward schools closed when the
county government refused to
put up any funds for educa-
ton because a Federal Court
had ordered desegregation.
