Dean Farley Praised = Little Late

DR.. Robert J. Farley, former dean
of the University of Mississippi Law
School, was praised this week by Fed
eral District Judge Claude F. Clayton
as "a tower of strength as a teacher
and DEAN
Judge Clayton represented the
Mississippi judiciary and the Missis-
sippi bar at a program honoring DR..
Farley h%ighlighted by the unwilling of
his portrait now hanging in the Law
School to which he dedicated the
greater portion of his life and talents.
"He (Farley) has great honesty,
and great courage intellectual, moral
and PHYSICAL" Judge Clayton declared.
These attributes, plus a some
times puckisb and always ~effervescent
sense of humor," he continued, "have
caused him to be misunderstood by
some people. Baseless accusations have
been made that he is a zealot working
for the cause of judicial Jacobinism
(revolution), which we have seen grow
and flourish in our day..
"But he is not. nor has he ever
been, a crusader in any such cause =
nor has he ever been a social reformer
in any accepted sense of the word"
Judge Clayton said.
Dean Farley wa praised by Judge
Clayton for his personal code of con-
duct. He said he "honored Dean Far
ley for his love of Ole Miss" which
caused him to remain silent, when he
was being publicly c~astigated," to
avoid the rsik of controversy which
might be harmful to the University.
The Tupelo Jurist noted that under
DR.. Farley's leadership the Ole Miss
Law School carried its highest average
student enrolment, acquired its mod
ern new building and attained its high
est national recognition.

Education Is A Lifelong Process

influence stops" Henry Adams

demand is for technical and semi-pro-
fessional workers with one to three
years of education beyond high school.
Attenuation Of industry an d
INFLAMMATION of farming and industry
have removed hundreds Of thousands
of jobs formerly requiring unskilled
or semi-skilled labor. The boy o. girl
who is not educated and trained for
modern business or industry is left out
in the cold, almost without hope of
gainful employment.
Proof of this is shown in the fact
that the Is per cent rate of teenage
unemployment is the highest today it
has ever been since the government
started keeping records, roughly three
times the nations overall jobless rate
of 81 per cent, up from 1919 in just
one year. Almost one-fourth of the
nations more than four million I'M
employed are teenagers, most of them
school drop-outs. The increasing birth
rate since 1916 is certain to add to the
problem and keep it with us for a long
time to come.
The Labor Department reveals
that during this year jobs requiring
high school graduates rose thirty per
cent, while those with no secondary
education decreased by 25 per cent.
The obvious moral is that a high school
education is a must and a junior
college education is even better.
Parents then should join with
teachers to make the task of learning
and securing an education so challeng-
ing that today's boys and girls will
remain in school for a minimum of
twelve to fourteen years, or better
still until they have mastered the
studies or skills needed to take use
full places in society as Independent,
self-reliant young Americans.

Commissioner Ross IS also.fond of
saying and we quote: mo White-Becpae
in any state in America give the Ne
groes any more cash, goods and serv-
ices, through the government, than do
the white population of Mississippi
give daily, monthly and yearly to it's
Negro citizens"
Then he laments: "In exchange
for this generosity they (Mississippi)
not only fail to receive the nations
thanks but they actually receive
national ridicule and abuse through
half-truths and whole lies disbursed by
biased and slanted national news
media"
We think the national news media
could take lessons from Mr.. Ross.
Mr.. Ross, it appears, would have
everyone believe all welfare dollars
given Magnolia State citizens, comes
out of white Mississippi pockets and
goes to Negroes - and he criticizes
and condemns both the Negroes and
other Americans for not being proper
ly appreciative of our alleged munifi-
cence.
The truth is that of every welfare
dollar spent in Mississippi more than
Is cents comes from Federal funds -
and all commodities, many of them
from southern-grown crops, are pur-
chased with Federal dollars.
Mississippi tax funds Ito which
every resident contributes, by the way)
in the amount of $25.5 million will be
expended for welfare during 1962-64
and will be supplemented with S88
million in Federal funds - to which
all Americans contribute their tax
dollars.
During the past 1960-62 biennium
Mississippi spent S26.5 millions in
state funds and $84 million Federal
funds for welfare - every cent Of it
filling a great need among our people.
The State Department of Public
Welfare in Mississippi is doing a good
job and performing a worthwhile serv-
ice.
But Mr.. Ross should stop making
these silly speeches - which only add
to our states problems and stick
to the job for which he is being paid,
running the Welfare Department.

At Our Expense
State Welfare Commissioner Speaks ~ Again

mississippi State Welfare Com
missioner Fred A. Ross, with the assis-
tance of a good ~mimeograph machine,
has managed to stay in the headlines
since assuming office under the adj
ministration of Governor Ross Barnett.
Mr.. Ross, repeatedly a guberna-
torial hopeful for 1867, made his
standard speech last week before a
state civic club = his usual harangue
appealing to ignorance and prejudice
= and mailed out, as usual, at tax
payers expense.
What's more, either through igno-
rance or deceit, Mr.. Ross give a COM
pletely distorted version of MISSISSIPPI
pi's relative position in the welfare
program.
According to his press agent, Mr..
Ross in his speech "chided New York
and Pennsylvania, two of the nations
wealthiest states, for finding it neces-
sarv to dole out more federal surplus
food commodities, primarily to needy
Negroes, in these states, than does
Mississippi"
Ross quoted the u. S. Department
of Agriculture to the effect that dur
ing the fiscal year of 1868 the state
of Pennsylvania received 110,546,0 900
pounds of government surplus foods
for needy citizens and New York
82,O21, 900 pounds.
"In contrast to- this, Mississippi
found it necessary to issue only 80,266,-
OOos pounds of food to Mississippi's
needy people, mostly Negroes Mr..
Ross told the Columbus Lions Club.
Then he recited the figures on
welfare distributed in commodities to
these states:
'The Federal Government shelled
out s22,747.O00 in Pennsylvania to
needy people; s~18,359,OO0 in New
York to the needy, but only $40, 1861 600
in Mississippi where eight out of ten
persons who receive the commodities
are. members of the colored race" Mr..
Ross told the club.
The impression created is that
Pennsylvania and New York get more
welfare than Mississippi and we are
hence "better off," His statement is
obviously misleading. What he fails to
say is that Pennsylvania has more
than five times as manv8 people as Mis-
sissippi = and New York has eight
times more population - 11,319,366

National Education Week

In this day and age the absolute
necessity for a good education is I'M
questioned. Mississippi recognizes this
by spending the major portion of state
income on schools and colleges.
Education itself is a never-ending,
lifelong process. Formal schooling pro-
vides basic requirements in reading,
writing, arithmetic and other subjects
designed to make us capable of living
as civilized, responsible beings. If we
are lucky in our schooling and-or
teachers, we become imbued or in
spired at a early age with the desire
to learn, SO that we are able to obtain
the key to the doors Of knowledge and
learning and unlock them as we grow
older. 1t is then we must learn to think
for ourselves, select our own standards
and set of values, rather than be forced
through timidity or fear to conform
with Or follow the dictates of others.
We know what we believe and why.
Our awareness and understanding of
the world in which we live and move
is more p%erceptive and our goals and
ambition are fixed more firmly on serv-
ice than self. Our feeling of response
bility to family, country and God is
greater than ever before. All of these
and more are part and parcel of the
educated man.
But what about the %uneducated?
