Population Report on Camp
Parsons
Charge Schools
Miss-Teoch Urban
Neoro Children

New York CAMP - Negro chill
dren in urban schools receive a
second-class education and are
taught TO see themselves as Sec
ond-class citizens, it was charged
in the October issue of Redbook
magazine.
In a report on this country's
worst schools, the article said that
city schools and elementary teach
ers are failing in their educational
responsibility to prepare Negro
children for a future beyond their
slum neighborhoods.
Elementary textbooks and class
materials, even in city schools with
predominently Negro enrolment,
depict a white, middle-claSs world
in which Negroes do not partic-
ipate and where they apparently
do not belong, the report said.
Little is taught that a Negro child
can associate with.
In his report, entitled mot Like
Other Children" writer Bernard
Asbel said that an estimated one
out Of every three children-most
of them Negro - in 10 Of this
country's IA largest cities is "cul-
turally deprived" and enters school
unprepared to deal with even the
simplest abstract educational
terms.
Teachers, geared to the belief
that children who do not RESPOND
to standard 10. tests and rote in
struction are dumb" and "un-
teachable," fail to awaken, much
less instruct, these children and
blame this failure on the children
and their parents.
But, Asbell said, the teachers
themselves are to blame for not
gearing classroom instruction to
the frame Of reference of the slum
and Negro child. The ignorance Of
these children Is the result Of a
cultural difference, rather than a
lack Of native intelligence, he
argued.
In support Of this, Asbell high
lighted In his report the encour-
aging results obtained where ele-
mentary classroom instruction has
been adapted 10 the certain needs
and knowledge Of the slum and
Negro child and reported the re-
sponse received in those cities
where educators made a special
effort to contact and interest Ne
gro parents and children in oppor-
tunities for advancement.
Until city school elementary
teachers and educators realize that
they must work within the world
of slum and Negro children, they
win continue TO fail In their re-
sponsibdlity TO provide a first-class
education, the report concluded.

Attends KaPpa
Meet In Indiono
BY Staff Writer

Leroy Martin, 1928 Fifth Av
s., Minneapolis, recently partici-
pated in a conference that in his
view, from the standpoint of the
size of the group involved and the
quality of the result achieved, was
the most profound event in group
dynamics that he had ever exper-
fenced.
Leroy was Psi Chapters repre-
sentative to the annual Leadership
Conference of Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity. The conference brought
together young men from 63 col
lege campuses for the purpose OF
increasing the understanding Of
the what, why, how, and by what
means of fraternity life.
The conference was held in Sep
tember at the Elder w. Diggs
Memorial Home on the Indiana
University Campus, Bloomington,
Indiana.
The objectives of the conference
were to develop the leadership po-
tential of the members and to i'm
prove the operation of the frater-
nifty and the closeness Of the bond
Of fellowship.
The nature of the week-long
conference was cooperative pro-
ject with emphasis on reflective
thinking, as method of problem
solving in accomplishing fraternity
goals. 1t was a period of thought
and production not Of fun and re-
taxation.
Conference content included
theories, principles, techniques, and
information relating to three sub
ject areas: fraternity problems and
goals, leadership dimensions, and
group dimensions.
The conference was under the
co-direction of Harlan Randolph
ed staff Of IL persons selected on
and DR.. Gregory Moore who head
the basis of professional compet-
ence in various academic disci-
plnes. These men of the Kappa
Fraternity continually prodded and
the participants to di-
gest and analyze information, to
gain a clear perspective of a prob
lem, to ascertain alternative solu-
tions, and then to put the preferred
one into application.
The result, Mr.. Martin stated
was an effective, self-functioning
entity Of young men who, because
of personal discipline, successfully
accomplished meaningful assign
ments through group interaction.
This result was significant In
that it did much to enhance and
reinforce Mr.. Martins personal be-
lief that fraternity fellowship can
be a highly constructive force in
the personal development Of the
college man.

ST. PETERS AME

Sunday, Oct. 6, the worshippers
enjoyed the air. conditioned church
during the Indian summer heat
wave.
Pastor Lowell johnson was
blessed to have as his assistant
Rev. Noah Smith who lead the con-
gregational hymn, Evangelist Flor
ence Daniels gave the morning
prayer, and Evangelist Matte
Boyd who did the scripture and
the decalogue.
Just before Evangelist Pearl
Pleas offered prayer for the bene-
VIOLENT offering, Pastor johnson
made an appeal for help for the
Birmingham, Ala, church which
was bombed.
The senior choir, and the Can
tinos beautifully decorated the
well filled choir loft with the var
iety of coloring that graced their
robes. The numbers rendered by
the senior choir were: Jesus Hold
My Hand" and Lift Up Your
Heads All Ye Gates, Mrs. Rose
Marie Cook soloist.
The Cantinos rendered "Sing
Til The Power Of The Lord Come
Down" Mrs. Joanna Johnson solo,
ist. The combined choirs sang Let
Us Break Bread Together. Mrs.
Dolores Webb was pianist for both
choirs. Mrs. Marlene Allen is di-
rectress of the Cantinos.
! Pastor Johnson stated again that
he was back to start this confer
ence year with confidence and
faith, and he burst out singing
Leaning On Jesus" with the con-
gregation joining in the chorus.
After the Holy Communion, the
pastor announced the persons add
ed TO the sick list, and offered
prayer for all.
"Why Commune ?" was the sub
ject for the inspiring message. The
scriptural back ground from 1.
Corinthians 10:16-17. The cup Of
blessing which we bless, is not the
communion of the blood of Christ +?
The bread which we break, Is not
the communion of the body of
Christ? For we, being many, are
one bread, and one body; for we
are all partakers of that one bread.
Pastor Johnson stated that Holy
Communion is the process of shar-
ing your presents with each other,
and the heart will have to be right
before you can share with each
other and communicate with God.
The altar boys serving were:
Richard Cook, and Jerry Withers.
Pastor Johnson stated that the
three churches in charge of the
integration Bible study are The
May Flower Congr gationa ]
church, st. Johns Lutheran, and
st. Peters AME.

By Bernice Flowers Strane
Program Director Phyllis
Wheatleys Camp Parsons
One Of the exciting aspects Of
camp life is the spirit of adven-
ture. When we go out on a nature
hike at Camp Parsons we never
know just what group Of alert
youngsters and cor1nselors will dis
cover. Adults can teach identifica-
ton Of trees, flowers and weeds
but the beauty Of a monarch but
terfly or caterpillar is something
to experience. Many children and
adults see and feel beauty of de-
sign, pattern, colors, and move
ment without having to identify
the life that produced this beauty.
On one hike at our Camp Par
sons a baby oriole fell at our feet.
I picked it up and each child had a
chance to see, and touch this love-
ly creature. The parents scolded
and watched us. We dispelled the
tale that the baby bird would be
deserted by his parents. They were
happy to receive their baby back
into their family circle. The par
ents gave him a lecture along with
the welcome. The family of orioles
continued to sing cheerfully
throughout the summer although
we never actually saw them again
except on the wing.
On another hike we discovered
very tiny garter snakes. They had
probably just been born. Every
one, including the dubious, held
the harmless baby garter snakes.
We discovered it was warm, and
dry. To hold a harmless snake Is
new adventure which creates new
area of investigation for the cam
per, allays fears, and also sets the
platform for future science and
biology classes.
Have you ever seen the beauty
of the millzweed blossom? Our
campers have seen the hundred or
SO separate lavender shooting star
individual flowerlets. No wonder
this is the exclusive food of the
monarch.
Then the nature hikes where we
eat our way along through rasp-
berry and gooseberry bushes. We
learn how TO avoid the stickers,
when to pick the fruit to get the
most enjoyment. We watch our
rival berry pickers. the birds, enjoy
the fruit.
Nature surrounds us and we
learn as much ABOUT ana from II
as is possible. Surrounded by such
beauty one can understand the
child who says IT want to come
back and come back.
Another common question Is
Next year can we pick berries
again." Questions they never
thought of asking get answered at
this Camp Parsons. How can any
one be thrilled about a snake, rasp-
berries, Monarch butterflies, turf
les, frogs or think about asking
questions when you live surround
ed by brick and cement? Camp
Parsons is an adventure. An ad-

venture in discovery. An Adven-
ture in applied knowledge. A
chance to have an environment
that creates thinking.
Another big adventure this year
for selected group Of boys and
girls was the chance to discover
the reason for wanting to learn to
read. This very interesting pro-
ject consisted of the usual camp
ing program with the addition Of
books to read; books read out loud
by a visitor from India, a young
junior counselor, or the trained
program director; and word games.
All were enjoyed.
Each child took home materials
to read, such as selected comic
books or other books. This was a
planned discovery of the beauty of
the written word to open up an
other interesting area of discovery
and adventure. To create an inter-
est in reading was a planned part
of the program for this select
group during one period of camp.
1t was successful.
Camp Parsons again has provid-
ed over 200 boys and girls from
the ages of to II the opportunity
of discovering a world of nature
and words that will provide rich
in the years to come.
WHO KNOWS IF CAMP PAR

Question: A newspaper story
tells Of q new device to protect
postmen from mans bt : friend
who has long been known as
the postman's worst friend. It's
a water pistol that sprays a
mixture OF oil. pepper and other
ingredients on the pup. Accord
ing TO the story, "The dog puts
his tail between his legs and
sinks away TO the back Of the
house." But that's not the part
that bothered me - since the
dispatch says the dog Is not
hurt by the spraying. What
does bug me Is this sentence:
THE potion shows promise OF
keeping Fido from barking the
mailmen's shins." Is this the
proper use Of "barking"7 -
]. o.. New York CITY.
Answer: No. It's the result OF
a mistaken effort on the part
OF the reporter 10 make Q pun.
The pun fails because he has
confused transitive and intran-
sitive verbs. Bark as q tran
sitive verb - with the object
"mailmen's shins" - means 10
scrape, abradc or strip the skin
from, as In "he barked his
shins."
Bark" as an intransitive
verb without an object
means 10 utter q short, sharp
noise, as n dog does when
barking.
Incidentally, these are two
entirely different words, coming
10 US from different sources.
The first Is from an Old Morse
word "barkr." meaning the bark
on trees. The second Is from an
Anglo : Saxon root "beorcan"
meaning Just the same thing
as our bark" for the dogs
noise. Even back In Anglo
Saxon days dogs seemingly
made much the same sounds
they do today. for this Is known
as an "echoic" word, that is,
II attempts 10 initiate the sound
