PAGE FOUR 'SSfrSRiXti JL f Vi KWPOiif College Education On Installment Plan Before an assembly of parents of the Fresh man Class. Dr Barnaby C. Keeney, president of Brown University, two weeks ago discussed a plan for financing a college education in the same manner as the purchase of a house or an automobile. Parents might make a down payment when, th student is enrolled.” he said, “and agree to a fixed schedule of payments over an extended period of years. ' In detailing the finance plan, the college p ’sident broke down the student body into the economic groups: (1) those who could p out of current income (2) those who could p; full cojts over a period of years, and (3) those who would always need aid. Os the three economic groups listed by Dr Keeney. Negro students would mostly fall into the last two groups—those who could pay for their education on thr instalment plan, and those who would need financial aid in tie form of academic and work aid scholarships. The installment plan, would be beneficial to * ft large number of Negro college, students pi n vicling the cost of a four year education docs •not exceed the present average fee schedule y more than a 25 per cent increase To make, this fact more vivid, let us note the fee schedule of the eleven four-year Negro col leges. as well as that of four junior colleges in North Carolina. And may we add that these tuition fees are typical and representative of approximately 90 Negro institutions of higher learning in this country.

But what is more significant, is the fact that the Democrats and Republicans did not give' the voters a chance to decide this que - tion of school integration, because both candi dates were definitely opposed to the desegrega • tion of schools. It was a case of “You can’t go wrong” no matter what candidate you vote for. We can't say the el< ction was the voice of the people who were opposed to school deseg regation. Os cours< the Republicans used Jess abusive American Education Week Th<~ annual observance of American Edu cation Week is being held this year from No li erf. be: 10 through 16. Each year, beginning in 1920. a week has been set aside for this pur pose. This week the schools of the nation are inviting parents and patrons to see them in op eration. The citizens £if the community will have opportunity to evaluate the purposes and achievements of their schools, as well as devise plans for assisting schools to serve more ef ficiently and effectively. We usually think of education as comprising nil the efforts —conscious and direct, or inci dental and indirect—made by society to reach certain desirable objectives. These efforts may be put forth by organized society as a whole — a nation, for example—or by majority and mi nority groups, such as political parties, or rc ligious denominations. Oftimes, the goals may be formulated either in the interest of the na tion, or by segments of the country, which are often selfish in their desires. The importance of education as an agency for changing the attitudes and beliefs, and. consequently, the behavior of a people, has been increasing during the past 500 years. When the nation was founded, George Wash ington urged his fellow citizens to establish schools and institutions and schools for the dissemination of knowledge, for, as he said “in proportion /as the structure of the government gives force to public opinion, it is essentia! that public opinion should be enlightened.” In r< gards to enlightenment, Americans still have a long way to go and a great task ahead* of them. Education is a “leading out" process. It must teach that a new educational system is on its way —one that is more vital and dynamic and will function more effectively. When Ameri cans earned their living from the soil during the pioneer days, a simple education that pro vided the tools of learning was sufficient. But now that millions are crowded into large cities, and they depend upon the whims of markets and industry to create employment, a new ed ucation for social living is required.

That is right! But Negro students don’t have man millionnaire parents, nor a host of fath ers who earn as much as $12,000 a year. II these students are to remain in school, private colleges especially must be willing to accept federal aid and initiate campaigns to persuade vast and wealthy enterprises to give generously to their scholarship funds. We don’t recommend an extensive program of student loans for Negro youth, because when they graduate they would be forced to begin their careers with a debt of considerable size. These young people must not become slaves to that Greedy-Eyed Monster—Debt' Yes—. Not even for a college education. and violent language than the Democrats. But the Republican candidate “played both ends against the middle”: therefore one can't help admiring the Democratic standard-bearer for talking “straight from the horse’s mouth.” We were sure where lhe latter candidate stood. Regardless of whatever else we may think and believe, wc do know that, the well-oiled Byrd Democratic machine ran in good form It was a powerful instrument that spelled de feat for the Republicans. Behind this machine was the mighty Senator Parry F. Byrd who used the full force of his political machine to destroy the effects of the epoch-making Su preme Court decision of May 17, 1954. His hand-pick'd candidate insulted Negro citizens in that state with speeches of hatred and vile ness. must touch a man's life as he is living now. Education must: help men to see that social change, judicial deeisons will eventually alter our pattern of segregated schools. The edu cated white man through logic and reason will learn to accept various changes in the interest of human progress. But while we are waiting for certain social adjustments to take place, the Negro must consider another aspect of education. His edu cational problem stems largely from his po sition in the South and from the relative back wardness of the region as a whole. Although the South has made enormous progress since World War 11, it still has less resources to support education than has the rest of the United States. According to a recent study on the Negro potential by Eli Ginzberg, director of the Con servation of Human Resources Project, Colum bia University, if the education of Southern Negro males were brought up to the level of Southern white males, the actual number of high school graduates in the region would be tripled, from about 11,000 to about 32,000. Ts the education of Northern Negroes were brought up to that of whites in the North, the number of Negro high school graduates in the North would be nearly doubled, from almost 14,000 to almost 25.000. Thus, if the differences between the races were eliminated within each region, there would be 32,000 high school grad uates in addition to the 25,000 who actually graduated. If the educational disadvantages of the South were also eliminated—that, is, if all Negroes were brought up to the level of north ern whites—then the total number of Negro graduates would be increased by another 11.- 000. to nearly 68,000. A man’s education is exceedingly important n dbtermning his eventual position on the eco nomic scale. A recent study of the national manpower council, a policy for skilled man power, shows that employers over the nation are increasingly reluctant to hire people who are not high school graduates. A high school L •• y ' g y' SENTENCE SERMONS BY REV. FRANK CLARENCE LOWERY For ANP “I’LL TRY”' 1. This phrase, in the form of a promise, has come to be more or less a mere sigh, to appear polite and move calm ly by . . . which could be. term ed as twentieth Century dip lomacy, but traced to its bot tom is plain insincerity. 2. For the things one wants, it, just does not become a sim ple “I’ll Try”, but a constant GOING AFTER as the days go by . . . struggling and sa crificing what ere the cost, and daring to face even the very worst. 2. What a difference it makes as to who is affected . . .what tasks are faced and which ones rejected: the sel fish urge of the average man. : is to keep getting on and keep everything he can. 4. In. this, the motivating force is very clear . , . there i is no half-hearted “TRY” here ; . . .it- is a conniving lust to keep forging selfishly ahead, regardless as to who is hurt or goes unfed. i What Other Editors Say THE SOUTH? Gradually .some of the things that pub lic officials and businessmen have been saying privately a* bout the effects of the pub lic school segregation contro versy In the South are now being spoken in public. They add up to a warning that unless the South can solve Its problems peacably and keep the public schools open, it. will forfeit the industry which it so fervently want to attract. All of Governor Faubus’ de nials will not affect the vali dity of an industrial consul tant’s report that violence in Little Rock has "cost Arkansas thousands of new jobs.” Winthrop Rockefeller, Ark ansas’ top industry seeker whom Governor Faubus has described as “circumspet,” saw similar storm louds more than a year ago. Mr. Rockefeller said in April 1956 that indus try would avoid Southern stat es that had taken an adamant stand on integration questions until “problems of law and or der” were resolved. And Governor Hodges, who devotes many hours a week to talking with Industrial execu diploma is more and more a pre graduates. A high school di ploma is more and more a pre requisite for any young person to be considered for various types of industrial training which would enable him to move out of an unskilled or semi-skilled job into a skilled or supervisory position. Some Negroes are illiterate because they choose to be. They fail to take advantage of the available opportunities for training and remain in school. For many reasons they drop out of or quit school. During American Education Week, let us highly resolve to encourage every boy and girl to continue in school. Education is a great Ameri can heritage, and Negroes must 8C to school in large numbers and discipline their minds In the search for the truth that makes men free. Just here, it must not fie assumed that one cannot educate himself unless lie attends school, for educa tion is a continuing piocess ev en after we leave school. We can find truth by reading books from the library, magazines, and newspapers. Mark these words: only the educated and Informed man is FREE! THE CAROLINIAN' 5. But those loving hearts "who desire to live and let live”, seem always to have something valuable to give, and do not offer a faint “I’LL TRY", but do their level best as the days roll by. 6. Life, to them Is a de finite pattern. lighted up by God's Eternal Lantern, arid the giver believes his every move God can see, and thus he or she gives their best to make all human beings happy and free. 7. When these noble indi viduals say “ILL TRY”, any body knows it is not just to get by , . . but their heart and soul has pledged to do, aitt the promised duty they mean to carry through, 8. To get to Heaven, is their highest ambition, and above everything their choicest de cision, and nothing wall they allow to block their way, for in beautific splendor they hope to dwell some day. 9. “I’LL TRY”, means to them, “to do or die", and this fives seeking plant sites, told the Board of Conservation and Development this week: “The South and North Carolina need more than ever to do than ever to do some pretty some pretty liard thinking and praying if we are to get through this trying period without getting hurt..” Mr. Hodges, of course, is talking about more than the possibility of economic damage, but his point could not bo mussed in a talk devoted largely to the need for balancing our economy. Wallace Carroll, former exe cutive news editor of the Jour nal and Sentinel, wrote the other day in The New York Times: “Industry does not seek out turmoil. Management wants a stable community. One of the first questions a company asks when it considers going into a Southern town is, “What a bout the schools?" Could any company persuade an en gineer in the North to take a job in Arkansas today if it meant sending his children to Little Rock Central High School?" It Is no wonder that a na tional manufacturing com pany which has built a num ber of new plants in the South reportedly will not consider lo cating any units In at least one Southern o the knot ty problem that has been foisi - ed upon the South and the nation by the Supreme Courts ruling against, segregation in the public schools. Recently, editor Kilpatrick advocated "rebellion 1 ' but he hurried to say he did not, mean armed rebellion, a 1 thou h the course he was advocating meant armed rebellion ulti mately. Nations cannot talk war year in and year out without ultimately having war. It is even so today. There is a cold war being waned be tween the democracies and Russia and whereas both sides pretend that war Is not what they seek, the ugly fact re mains. if this cold wav keeps up long enough and vigorously enough, we ire going to have hot war. Humans are like that. And so when editors Waring and Kilpatrick talk non-vio lence. but play on the emotonn of violenro, we are going to have violence, It has taken violence to hold tus for Americans of color now admit that the future of Ne groes is tied up with his be ing able to vote in apprecia ble numbers in the South. The popular arguments on school desegregation, for in stance, such as “mixing’’ and "man,realization" arc nothing but “red herrings drawn across the trial” to divert attention from the real reasons which impel! the Eastlands, Griffins, Talmadges and their Ilk to op pose equality of opportunity with such vigor. Negro children in the same high school class with all oth er children will hear the iden tical lectures on government, on history, on economics, on political science. They will take the message home and a few years hence, will achieve the vote for themselves. Will “swoon you, dime yotl. km; you, and leave you" with a broken heart. Stay away from him. is my advice. "Dig me?” THE CONCEITED WOLE: For some reason, the Conceited Wolf thinks, he's God's gift to women '.Maybe he is who knows!. Why ha thinks this way, I cant’ explain. Usually he dresses fine and immaculate, and apparently he has no visible means of support This fellow baits unsuspecting females who are easily impressed by the stir* >'ace of things like diamonds, -fine furs, and Cadillacs. He thrills his lady friends— and he has dozens of them by rooking the rounds of the night spots where they have “a ball."

Ladies, beware! this wolf is D-A-N-C-E-R- O-U-S •because he’s a “smooth operator” and “e cool papa” THE BOOR: This wolf lacks tact and usually offends females except, those across the tracks. This man is everywhere known by the open and scandalous grossness of his manners; he willfully offends the eye of mod e-sty. He's known as a “skirt chaser.” At the vaudeville the, 3 tre, he delightfully claps and guffaws coarsely at the chorus lovelies and the strip tease act. In an interval! of silence, this fellow botches so loud as to at tract the notice of all about him. Should a lnsh-falutin sophis ticated woman come within his range of vision, he yeiis "Hi There.

It is one of the tragedies of the interracial situation, in the country that tie unyielding segregationists cannot- attain unto their objectives and the aspiring Negro cannot attain unto full citizenship without a bitter si niggle and this means force and violence Although these two arch advocates of eternal segregation say they are against violence, there is violence a plenty in the South and the Negro Is feeling. There was violence in Lite* Rock because the course thr -« die-hard segregationists advo cated ultimately led to what took place and disgraced our nation In the eyes of the world Much is being said today a bout the increase of interraci al tensions. The assumption case it is dnlateral tension win n Negroes are being per secuted and rushed to the front, in times of war and to the rear in timer of peace Is without logical foundaton. When the penteniiary guard has his rifle in h heads !!ior<> is Quiet* but there is tension. In that case t is unlateral tension when only the prisoners are tense. It is when the prisoners break for liberty, that the guard becomes ten. c. it, is then a bilateral tension. This de scribes the current situation. As long as the Negro accepts second rate citizenship things are quiet, but the Negro is tense and let not the world forgot it. It is when the Negro struggles to free himself of the limitations of ids second rate citizenship l-liat the situation becomes tense, because the Negro's aspiration and efforts make the sec,revisionist ten's, When only the Negro Is tense, tension ,i:; minimized. If is only when the Negro's strir e.lc to be free makes the white man tense that attention i;- called to the “mounting ten sions.’' The only difference be tween the current situation and what the segregationists call ed “peaeful race relations” is to be found in the fact that in the tensions to which the sen- 1 regationist advocates look with a kind of nostalgia. The current tensions are but the crowing pains of the South and nation. But we arc dangerously divided at, the most critical time in America's great history. Divided we fall all of us, whites and Negroes »- ike. .Justice for all is our ouiy hops.
