Free Schools
Will Start in
Prince Edward
Gov. Harrison Picks
6 for Project to
Assist Negroes
BY ALEX r.. PRESTON
star staff Writer

RICHMOND. August IA. =
Formation of a non-profit cor
poration to provide free edu-
cation for children Of Prince
Edward County, where public
schools have been closed for
four years, was announced to-
day by Gov. Harrison.
While the schools would be
open to all, presumably mostly
Negroes would attend since
they have been completely
without schools.
The Governor appointed six
of the States leading educa-
tors, three. whites and three
Negroes, as trustees of the cor
poration to be known as the
Prince Edward Free School
Association.
Public schools were aban-
doned by Prince Edward Coun-
ty in 1859 to avoid court-or-
dered desegregation. A private
academy was formed for white
children, but Negroes have
gone without formal schooling
for the past four years.
win Get Buildings
"a tentative understanding
has been reached with the
School Board of Prince Edward
County" Gov. Harrison said,
ito make available to the Free
School Association adequate
buildings, laboratory and shop
facilities, and such buses as it
has available. This arrange
ment is limited to one year or
for a lesser period if the ia
cilities are needed for the OPP
Grafton of the public schools. "
The association will have as.
its purpose the operation of a
privately financed system of
free schools for all children of
Prince Edward County without
regard to race, creed, or color,
the Governor emphasized. 1t is
expected, however, that the en-
rollment will consist primarily
of the County's l,700 Negro
children between the ages of
6 and % years, since white
youngsters already have the
private academy which they
pay to attend.
State Grants Freed
The announcement follows
by two days q United States
Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals
opinion making tuition grants,
financed by the State and the
county, available to children IN
amounts up to $685. for edu-
cation in private schools or in
public schools other than the
locality in which they live.
The Rev. L. Francis Griffin,
State president of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People,
who sat in on the Governors
press conference. said, how
ever, parents of Negro children
do not contemplate using the
tuition grants. They consider
them part of a scheme to per-
petuate segregation.
"This project will depend on
private funds" Gov. Harrison
said. 81 am informed that some
foundations and private citi-
zens already have indicated
their interest"

ference was william Vanden
