Tin- editorial folJow.s; GROWING CONVICTION NEGROES NEED EDUCATIONAL AID Approximately forty-three percent oi the school popula- tioii of Durham city and county is Negro. How much identifi able recognition does this large segment of our population have in the administration of the affairs of education here? Yun know the answer, but we state it for fhe emphasis. The answer is none. And there are some people in Durham who feel that this is wrong. Negro leaders, intelligent students of their problems hnve felt for many years that they have been discriminated against educationally. That condition does not exist in Durham alone. It has ben true throughout North Carolina, and through out much of the South. North Carolina has set about to correct some of this fault. The recent action equalizing salaries of public school teachers is one step in the right direction. But eny casual study of the physical equipment provided the two races, forced by circum stances that have accumulated through the years, to live side by side, will bear testimony that a great deal nee^ to be done before any equalization exists at that point. The Mayor's Committee en Interracial Affairs has gone into this matter rather thoorughiy. and press dispatches during the past week told of a move made in the direction of correction. The committee recommanded to the City Council that a Negro be appointed to the City School Board at the first vacancy. Fur ther, it recommended to the City School Tioard that plans be inaugurated looking to providing technical training for Negroes Fairminded men and women of both races recognize the logic of these suggestions. They recognize that the future success of harmonious relations between the races is dependent upon a fairer consideration for the Negro. To that end they are not willing to sit quietly by and remain silent on these issues. Wo would like to be confident that the proper authorities will see to it that such discriminations are rectified.
