Problem Facing Our Youth
Who Seek Jobs Staggering

Probably our greatest failure and greatest
tragedy as a nation Is our failure to provide ade
quate training for large numbers Of our young
people to equip them for useful life in this age of
technology.
The problem has recently been occupying the
attention Of national magazines, our educators
and our social scientists. Their conclusions are
frightening.
The situation Is especially tragic for those
Young people living in the bacl1washes Of our econ
omy and civilization, such the vast intellectual
and moral backwoods Of our Southland It Is equally
tragic for many Of those who escape from this to
decayng urban centers Of the north to go to schools
In locations and under conditions where the edu-
Gators have lust about given up to join the gangs
Of loafers and apprentice criminals OF the sums OF
Chicago New York. and other industrial cities.
Unemployment among these young people runs
IS to 40 per cent but they don't go to school, either
igh- h-school dropouts in New YoriSs slum areas are
80 per cent the school authorities point out Per-
haps this is because Of the growing realization that
most of those who finish high school can't find jobs
edther-that in the words Of DR.. James B. Conant,
the employment Of youth Is literally nobodys
affair"
This is occurring among youths who according
to Naomi Barko In The Reporter. have normal in
teigence or better But almost all Of them, whether
they come from subsstence-level farms or big-city
sluIns have parents with low incomes, little educa-
ton :. :"
Waves of migrations from the South and from
overseas into the crowded industrial cities Of the
north have complicated a problem that would be
staggering without this complication
Our problems in Minnesota are less complex
but we need not be SNUG about 1t. The failure Is
national one which Minnesota shares, and Minne-
sofa has some specific failures of its own

Negroes in areas where opportunities for training
and employment are favorable have an especial re-
sponsibilty to make the most of those opportunities
to develop their sl1ills to their highest ability to
set examples and offer proofs. They should press
more sharply for apprenticeship training from which
they have been generally kept by tacit conspiracy
Advice, counsel, and assistance readily avail

Rural Dominate Legislatures L
In Minnesota Friendly To
Civil Rights

There is doubt that the US. Supreme Court
ruling on state reapportonment a fair and just
ruling. 1t is not sound for sparsey populated
tons of state to have more representation In the
state law-malSing bodies than those districts with
dense populations.
In most states this has worked against the
enactment Of civil rights legislation such fair
employment practices acts and laws against race
discrimination in insurance and other fields.
However to the contrary In Minnesota the civil
rights legislation which has been passed here has
had more help from the rural legislators than from
those In the big cities.
In the passage Of the FEPC Law and again In
the enactment Of the state fair housing law, rural
legislators were much favorable to the legsla-
ton than a number Of urban legislators with many
minority group constituents Years ago when ].
Frank Wheaton. the only Negro ever to serve In
the Minnesota legislature authored and secured the
passage of present equal Accommodations statute,
prohibiting and religious discrimination in
places of public Accommodations, 1t was the rural
legislators plus a few Immigrant New England
Yankees" representing the urban districts who gave
the measure its chief support.
In many states however the situation is differ
ent, with the rural legislators being stumbling
blocks to most human rights legislation. This Is not
ably true in the South and true to large degree in
a state like Illinois, where the downstate rural leg
islation have voted soidly against FEPC bills year
after year. In the larger urban communities of the
East, the Negro and other minority group voters
are numerically strong, the urban and big city
legislators have to go along In many Of these areas
there are increasing number Of Negroes being

problems facing the minority groups, will be aired
