to be as stimulated mentally

But another witness in the
Savannah case doubted If
environment could make as
much difference as the tests
showed. DR.. Henry E. Gar
rett, emeritus professor Of
psychology at Columbia Uni
versity. asserted that the
spread shown in the Savan-
nah tests is equaled in the
North. He claimed that "the
differences are greater than
can be Spanned in a single
class" and that it would be
necessary either to drop the
level of achievement to a
point where education would
be ruined for the average
white child, or to raise 1t to
a point where the average
colored child would be
frustrated and left far be-

DAVID LAWRENCE

What really is meant by
the word "integrationist" or
"segregationist"? These terms
are widely used nowadays,
but accurate definitions are
lacking and there is a good
deal Of carelessness displayed
in using them.
Is an "integrationist," for
instance, income who
believes in intermarriage of
the races, and is everyone
who doesn't favor intermar-
riage to be labeled a "segrega-
tionist"?
Some light is thrown on the
subject by Roy wilkins,
executive secretary of the
National Association for the.
Advancement of Colore d
People. He was interviewed
the other day on a TV pro-
gram on WOR, called Ladies
Of the Press" Naturally, he
was asked about intermarri-
age as a part of the civil
rights" program. He replied:
well, we've moved into that
area some time ago. We have
secured, for example, the
repeal Of a number of laws
that formerly existed in some
of the other States.
This is q continuing pro-
gram Of ours on which we do
not place high priority and,
it isn't pursued with intensity
but it is pursued. Our basic
feeling is that there must be
no legal interference with two
persons who wish to get mar
ried, and especially ought
there be no interference on
the basis Of race and color.
where such laws exist,
this places a Negro woman,
for example, at a distinct dis
advantage because she does
not have recourse to the ordi-
nary social projections that
are inherent in the marriage
statutes and in the paternity
statutes, and so forth"
What Mr.. wilkins says, in
effect, Is that intermarriage
Is included within the con-
cept Of equal rights" in
the civil rights" program.
Hence, it is an essential part
of what is termed "integra-

Do Negro students, on the
average, turn in a lower
academic performance than
white students because of
In herent differences in
capacity?
Or can this be blamed on
poor environment and social
deprivation brought about
by white bigotry and intol-
erance?
These are bald and brutal
questions. But perhaps the
welfare of both white and
Negro children in America
demands that we have the
honesty and the courage to
find the answers.
A few weeks ago Federal
District Judge Frank M.
Scarlet turned down an in
junction suit brought by
parents of a Negro child
to force the indignation Of
schools in Savannah, Ga. In
his opinion the Judge cited
the testimony Of various wit
nesseS.
First was DR.. r. T. Os-
borne, professor Of psychol-
ogy and director of the Stu
dent Guidance Center at
the University of Georgia. He
said that the city Of Savan-
nah since 1854 has been
giving the California
Achievement Battery and
California Mental Maturity
Test to all students in the
9th. 9th, 10th and 18th
grades. The first tests read
ing comprehension, vocabu-
larry and mathematic reason
ing. The second is an I. @.
test, i.e., a correlation be-
tween mental and chrono-
logical age.
In reading, according to
DR.. Osborne. Negro students
averaged two years behind
white students at the sixth
grade level and dropped to
three years difference at the
twelfth grade. In arithmetic
at the twelfth grade, the av-
erage white pupil in Savan-
nah was working just above
the eleventh-grade national
norm. but Negro pupils we're
at the eighth-grade level. In
I. @. at the tenth grade,
white children tested an av-
erage Of 1903 and colored chill
dren 81.

tion," at least on the con-
stitutional side. If, under
State law, it is a violation of
equal rights" for a hotel to
refuse to receive two male
Negroes, it would be a VIOLA
ton Of the same rule to turn
down a Negro and a white
who are married and ask for
hotel accommodations.
How many Of those who
proudly proclaim themselves

cept the intermarriage the
sis? Some would concede
that it is theoretically a vio-
lation Of constitutional rights
for States to impose any bar
riers against intermarriage
Of the races. But could any
Of these defenders Of the
doctrine then be regarded as
"segregationists" If they OBJ
jected to racial intermarriage
within their own families?
There's also a good deal
Of intellectual dishonesty in
arguing that everybody who
favors forced mixing of the
races in the public schools is
an "integrationist," while
everyone who objects to 1t is
a "segregationist." For re-
Gently there has been a Juror
in some Of the big cities over
attempts to correct so-called
racial imbalance" In public
schools-to send white chill
dren across town by bus,
away from their own neigh
borhoodS, so as to increase
the number of white stu
dents in previously all-Negro
schools. while similarly trans
porting Negro children to
predominantly white schools.
The politicians are already
getting a lot Of protest mail
on this subject.
But are the parents of such
children to be denounced as
"segregationists"? Many of
them see no objection to
public schools that are lin
tegrated" on the basis of
residential districting, but
they object to artificial eff
forts to force racial balance"
