To Help Parents Help Children
Negro Meeting Thursday
TO Emphasize Reading

A meeting of Negro parents
in Prince Edward County has
been called for tonight Thurs
day, at 7:30 pm. in the First
Baptist Church to teach parents
how to help their children with
reading during the coming year.
The ability to teach reading
will be emphasized" said Mrs.
Rachel Wellington, spokesman
for the group of Queens College
students and New York City
teachers who are carrying on a
basic education program in the
county this summer.
Dr.. Wellington said the pro
gram is designed to instruct
the parents in the community to
continue training their children
in basic instruction. based on
the possibility of no system of
formal education being avail
able here this fall for Negro chill
drcn.
Even if schools are available.
this program will be helpful"
she said. pointing out that chill
dren who receive assistance from
their parents usually do better
in school.
q William J. vanden Heuvel. of
New York. special assistant
attorney general, has been in
Prince Edward county recently
to see what can be done to open
some type of system of schools
for Prince Edward. DR.. Wedding
ton said the meeting Thursday
night has nothing whatever to do
with the efforts of vanden
Heuvel.
The American Teachers AS
ISOLATION has also urged the fed
eral- government to develop
formal school program for the
county's Negro children. The
group. which elected DR.. j. Ru-
pert Pictott Of Richmond its next
president. is an all Negro teach
ers organization similar to the
white National Education Asso-
citation.
Vanden Howell was not avail
able for comment this morning,
but he declined earlier in the
week to comment to the Rich
mond News Leader. The Rev.
Goodwin uglas. pastor of
Beulah AME Church in Farm
Vile, said it was his understand
ing that warden Heuvel talked
with the Rev. l.. F.. Griffin Sat
ulday. Mr. Griffin was out of
town this morning and could not
be reached for comment.
Mrs. Wellington said her group
would probably continue their
teaching program for the next
two weeks and then return to
New York where they all have
commitments for the fall. She
said there are more than SIS
children participating in tn e
schooling Some Of those who at
tend the classes leave during the
