Knight, SO, home service director

cookbook, "a Date With A Dish"

Paul, MINI.
Funeral services for Mrs. De-
Knight were held at the st. Paul

Mrs. DeKnight had battled can
Ger for several years and recently
was taking Krebiozen treatments.
She amazed friends with her re-
markable spirit and courage in
the face Of hopeless odds.
Krebiozen, the much debated
cancer drug, played a dramatic
role in helping Mrs. DeKnight
when she was confined to a wheel
chair and close to death at one
time.
After taking the drug, she was
able to walk alone and made a
trip to the Far East to organize
the most recent Ebony Fashion
Fair. Arrangements for her to
take the drug were made through
singer Lena Horne, close friend
Of Mrs. DeKnight for years, and
DR.. Andrew Ivy, who has been
embroiled for some time in medi-
cal controversy over the merits Of
the drug.
Mrs. DeKnight divided her time
between Chicago, New York and
Los Angeles. She was well known
for her pioneering work in organ
izing the Ebony Fashion Fair,
which tours the nation, as well as
for her writing in the food field.
She was married to Rene De-
Knight, who for years was pianist
and arranger for the Delta Rhy-
thym Boys, a singing group.
Born in Topeka, Kans., on Dec.
20, 1909, the daughter Of Freder-
ick E. and Elenore Alexander, Mrs.
DeKnight began cooking at the
age Of 5. She was a graduate Of

they cannot defend them sat-
isfactorilly, they stand to be
embarrassed and ridiculed.
Among our Negro youth,
there is a need to establish
convictions in order to take
pride in their racial heritage.
When some of our pupils see
the advantages and accomp-
lishments of other ra e S,
many of them begin to think
somewhat small of themselv-
es. Some look upon the fact
that their foreparents were
slaves with sense of shame
and despair. We must admit
that the conditions and cir
cumstances connected with
the system of slavery we're
very gruesome and degrad-
ing; but this is no good reas-
on for any Negro youth to
hang his head. He should be
encouraged to take pride in
the fact that his race has
made very commendable pro-
gress in less than a hundred
years of freedom.
BY instilling into them the
fact that they are valuable
and contributed and are still
contributing something worth
while to society, in spite of
their handicaps, they will be
helped to gain a clearer per-
spective of life and will be
encouraged to aspire higher
and to accomplish more.
These things constitute a
great task for the school. In
light of this, we are inclined
to ask: What really should be
dedicated, the school building
or those of us who have the
responsibility of working with
the children? The answer
should be clear.
If these bricks and mortar
and OF h Ell materials have
been well constructed, there
should be no fear that they
will prove to do the job for
which they were appointed. 1t
is we, teachers, administra-
tors, and parents, who should
be dedicated to use this build
ing and this equipment to lay
the foundation on which boys
and girls can build useful and
prosperous lives.
Yes, along with the dedi-
eating of this structure, let
us here today dedicate our
selves to the service of build
ing academic, moral, and
spiritual character.
Rev. Maurice B. Bingham
The Mississippi enterprise., 1963-03-30

youth. They need to become
aware of the fact that wheth-
er they have great or little
ability, they are capable and
have the potential of contrib
uting something worthwhile to
society.
Our customs and attitudes
have played a great part in
shaping the inferior attitudes
and concepts that some of our
young peple have of them
selves. This attitude may be
detected in such statements
as: "Why bother to go on to
school; my opportunities are
limited anyway" or "There
is nothing for me to do, if I
pursue the field DESIRE.
Such notions can be greatly
dispelled when we take
greater pains to instill into
them that they are of some
value; and, if they will per-
sist in their efforts to gain an
education, they can make
worthy contributions to soci-
ETY. and achieve a higher level
of personal satisfaction.
A dedicated school should
teach its pupils to have re-
spect for authority. A self
willed, unruly and defiant
child, in many cases, proves
to be cantankerous, obstinate,
and lawless as an adult. Dis
respect for authority leads
to trouble in the home; it
leads to trouble in the school
and community; and it fre-
quently leads to the peniten-
tiary, if not corrected.
Some pupils can be taught
respect for authority through.
conferences and discussions I
others receive such instruc-
ton from home; but for the
few who fail to respond to the
more psychological types of
persuasion, it is quite conceiv-
able that the rod properly and
sanely applied will be helpful
to teach this lesson.
When parents become ex-
cessively disturbed and vio-
lent because a teacher has
punished his child for a good
reason, and is a reasonable
way, they do so to their own
detriment and to the destruc-
ton OF their own child. If at
home he is allowed to over
ride parental authority, it
can be expected that he will
try to do the same at school.
Such conduct could never be
l.
tolerated by anybody in a
place of authority. The school
has to help a child to learn
this lesson for his own bene-
fit.
A school concerned about
the welfare of its pupils en-
courages them to arrive at
convictions and to stand up
for them.
In many instances, when a
child goes to school there are
those who will challenge his
position and beliefs on such
vital subjects as God, Christ,
and the Bible. Sometimes
teachers challenge students
belief in these areas; and, if

dents is expected to increase
by another 3.8 million by
1865.
This yaar's college and uni
versity enrolment is 4.6 mil
lion, up 5000, 900 over last
yaar These institutions of
higher learning are already
experiencing difficulty in ac-
comodating all the students
who want to 60 to college, and
the really sharp increase is
not expected until 1865.
So we can see that there is
a great need for more teach
ers and classrooms, not only
the local level but nationally.
The construction of this school
is just another step toward
solving one of the biggest and
most vital problems that we
as a city, state, and nation
have.
Now that we are making
some progress and have this
S C h o o /, for what purpose
should it be dedicated? Is it
here just for us to say we
have a school in this area of
Jackson? Is it here merely to
provide jobs for a few peo-
pie? No, we trust that the
over riding purpose of this
Institution is for the training
and preparation of boys and
girls, for laying a foundation
on which young people can
build useful lives.
When we think of a school,
we think of an institution in
which our boys and girls
spend most of their daylight
hours engaged in activities
which will help to mold their
lives for service. A school
dedicated to its call should
do some specific things for
its pupils to help mold their
lives. shall speak of just a
few of them.
Even though it is said that
more than 97co of us can read
and write, l find a great lack
among our boys and girls to
read with understanding when
they enter junior and senior
high school. Therefore, / feel
that a school such as this
should teach them HOW to
read and endeavor to incite in
them a desire TO read.
Paul Blanshard in his book,
THE RIGHT TO READ, max
es the following comment with
reference to our literaracy
and our ability to read with
perception:
The national pride in our
literacy is likely to be some
what dampened if we stop to
analyze the reading skills of
our people to discover wheth-
er or not they are able to read
and understand n y h i n G
above the comic-book level.
If serious adult literature is
the test, an amazing proper
ton of our people do not know
how to read yet. Even the
|skills which they acquire in
the first two or three years of
school are likely to disappear
with disuse. It has become SO

they can read when they can

ton. Can you read and
