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

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.

The Pot And The Kettle
You have often heard the statement regard
ing the “pot and tin kettle.” Well, the recent
election in our neighboring State of Virginia
puts the Republicans arid Democrats in tin
same position as that of the "pot and the
kettle.”
The Democrats hailed the victory of l.he-ir
candidate as governor of that state as a whol<
some sign. 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.

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. Education i

NOTE: Out-of state fees not listed.
As you examine the schedule of fees listed by
the various colleges, you will be convinced that
to raise fees higher by more than 25 per cent
> at this time, or in the future would be fool
! hardly and sound the “death knell” and force
thousands of Negro students to drop out. of
college, or prevent them from matriculating.
vW are not saying that students should not
pay a much greater share of their college ex
penses than they do now. But we are saying
that Negroes are not able to pay much more
! than they are now paying, because the average
annual income of their parents will not permit
it.
> It is estimated that a degree is worth SIOO,-
000 in a lifetime.” Mr. Devereux C, Josephs.
; charmsr; of the President’s Committee on Edu
cation Beyond High School, has said. “That’s
a pretty good investment for the money they
put in to get it.'
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

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

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

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 <not North Carolina)
which has token a defiant at
titude toward the Supreme
Court decision. This industry
needs no consultant to tell it
that the risk, of disrupted pub
lic school and of possible vio
lence is too great.
These are the penalities the
South must pay if it as Flor

will wrap “itself in a Con

KNOW AND KNOW WHY—
The remarkable thing about a
Rutgers College announcement,
the other day, that it would
not graduate any student who
had not passed a course in
basic English, was that it was
deemed newsworthy. What tire
announcement actually a
mounted to was a etatement
that the college would grant
none of its degree* to Ulitor
e tes.
There may be some people
who will feel that it would be
unjust to hold back from gra
duation a boy who could not
pass the English course though
he passed all other courses.
And there is a good deal to be
said for their feeling, No boy
is their wholehearted deter
mination without make-believe
or misrepresentation, and noth
ing else to them will do in
their program of life, as they
carry through.

debt to the Savior they owe,
and in deference to the GOLD

thinking, just must not get

are two of the most stubborn
defenders of the decadent sy
stem of segregation as air in
terracial policy in the South.
Within recent weeks there
has been sponsored at Emory
University, Atlanta, a series, of
lectures on the current prob
lems of race relations in the
South and nation and both
editor Waring and editor Kil
patrick have been invited and
this has biven these two advo
cates of interposition and state
rights another chance to dis
pense their sentiment to the
nation and the world.
The South has not produc

rabid segregationists, who ad

but who suggest violent by
their approaches >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

of violenro, we are going to
have violence,
It has taken violence to hold

but “red herrings drawn across

Negro children in the same

THE CONCEITED WOLE:
For some reason, the Conceited

apparently he has no visible

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

guffaws coarsely at the chorus
