BARREN VIEWS 1 DUCATION WITHOUT FRILLS ROCKY MOUNT As a mem* be,' of the colored race, (commonly called ‘Negroes') which has been the footstool of all other races in America - and most areas of mod ern civilization - I am naturally interested in our people ALWAYS putting their BEST FOOT FOR WARD in ALL endeavors of life. Thus, we may often seem unduly critical of our fallacies. It is often quite discouraging to observe how we MISPLACE OLR VALUES of what is really impor tant in making for a well-rounded life for our families and the race. For instance, Sunday after church we observe a mother drive her car up to the theatre and deposit six youngsters under 13 years of age. Another car left one boy. There were hordes of others coming a foot and in other cars. Question arose as to WHY those same par ents do not exert the same effort in getting their children to Sun day School and Church - and, bet ter still, go WITH THEM??? Too busy, they say. There is NOTHING at all in the theatre that will make for a really BETTER life as compared with the Sunday School and Church, do you think??? How cun they neglect so great a salvation? It, is because they misplace their values of what makes for a better life far their offspring. Too many people prefer enter tainment instead of education. We need all the education for practi cal living we can get to equip us to meet the challenge of an inte grated society * which is just a head, die-hard segregationist net withstanding.
