SHEPARD QUALITY OF NEGRO EDUCA TION IMPROVES: The report, recently issued by the Pheips- Stokes Fund, ctiing the improve ments in the quality of Negro ed ucation in the South should oe welcome news to all Southerners, both Negroes and whites. For ' quite sometime ths column has , been trying to tell Negroes here | abouts that it wasn't worth a tinkers dam to be blowing the horn about how many Negro ’ teachers have master’s degrees and therefore must necessarily be despensing superior education to their students. Even though liars can figure, the array of figures showing the wide gap in the achievement level ’ between white and Negro ele mentary and high school students should have awakened, even the most stupid, to the obvious fact that Negro education in the South was vastly Inferior. The Fhelps-Stokes project, fin anced by the Rockefellar Foua- I dation, made a detailed study of comparable Negro and white ele mentary and high school students i achievements in four southern states, including North Carolina. After a definite determination was made that Negro students were not equalling white students in scholastic achievements, methods , were divised whereby through better teaching methods, enlarg ed facilities and a more exten ■ slve use of facilities already a vailabife, th e general atmosphere | in and around the schools in a ; manner conducive to obtaining and ma.inta.ning a higher degree ; j of achievement ] This project, a five-year plan, now in its forth year, has proven two important facts. 1) there is no innate difference between the Negro l and white student in ths South and. 3) there Is a difference in , j the level of achievement for ’ which the project has found the cause: Negro schooling has 1 been and is inferior to that [ , offered in the white- schools. This project has also develop ed the fact that in most of our i Negro teacher training colle f | ge* in the South there are i areas in which this training is faulty and far short of the goals needed. : It Is these same teachers who , upon graduation from these col- j i leges, either b.y fair means or foul, i [ obtaift masters degrees from coi ; leges and universities that do not have either the time or the incli nation to find out how their grad . natfe students manage to get by. ' It is welcome news, this report | that the quality of Negro educa-, ■ tion in the South is improving. , What we should all hope for is ' thfe day when it can be truthfully , said that the education offered I Negro children in the South is , equal to that offered all other children. , Frankly, we know of no better j way to achieve this hoped for goal , than through school integration | We believe that despite the im provements already made in our ' Negro schools in the South, that '■ as long ba school segregation re- J I mains, our schools, will lag behind aggregated schools are inferior , schools per se. inferior teachers, , inferior facilities, inferior think ing and action. The U. S. Supreme Court has said the same thing in slightly different words. In the . light of facts, can we dispute the finding of the court? PROGRESS IN REVERSE: News that this state will lose one of its representatives in congress because of the steady i decrease in its population should give the present admin- <, isirstion a lot of food for j t thought, It should be remem- j < bered that even though the Negro citizens of North Caro- j ; j lina. has long been treated as i ; undesirables, (not long ago < Gov. Hodges was quoted as asking a congressman from i Michigan if his state couldn't absorb more North Carolina Negroes), these same Negroes j have been faithfully counted ; in every census in order for . this state to maintain and in- l ereaae its representation in ] the. National House of Repre- i sentatives. However, druing the past de- ' cade, more and more Negroes have i realized that their position in this state was intolerable and have pulled up their stakes to seek greener pastures. This steady hia tus from this state has resulted in such a decrease in population j that the state representation will be reduced from 12 to 11 Con-1 gressmen Maybe one of these days when this state's representa tion In the lower house of congress has been further reduced, the powers that be. who only recognize the existence of Negroes here dur ing census taking, will learn that in one way or another, chickens always come home to roost. While the governor is travelling all over the country trying to lure indus try here for the benefit of white workers, his state is being con stantly depopulated by a group of citizen# who have found they must look elsewhere for decent employment at a decent wage. It might well be that the gover nor’s quoted implied wish that (more Negroes leave this state will boomerang right back in his face by the loss of still another con gressman when more and more Negroes take him at his word. If will not make any difference how many new industries are lured to this state by tax giveaways and j other methods, this state’s pres j tlge will never fee enhanced by a J steadily declining population. This ! state's success, growth and pro | grow must be measured by its people. After all. it is the people who make a state, not jobs for Jttat a certain percentage of them.
