ILL, POLICE ALERTED IN SCHOOL INTEGRATION ROW ROBBINS. II! (ANP’- Three armed state police squads were alerted “to be on hand” at Old ; Main high school in Blue Island last week as rumors spread of an “uprising'' of white students over the integration of Negro teachers from nearby Robbins. Armed with tommyguns, the Il linois state police stood at The Blue Island school as students i from Robbins, an a 11-Negro town 30 miles southwest of Chicago, ar rived to attend classes. There were also two squads fiom Blue Island, and a single squad from Robbins The suspected uprising never materialized, but citizens of Rob bins, headed by officers of the Robbins Ciramber of Commerce, summoned the police units Fri day after a try nor fight between Negro and white students at the school. According so James Jackson, president of the Robbins C of C the fight, was caused by the. tem porary appointment of 12 Negro teachers at the Old Mam high school. Trouble in the area started a bout a week before the school in cident. when a cross was burned neai the Robbins Blue Island bor derline ‘by white newcomers from the South living in a nearby nail er camp.

Because of the over surplus of teachers in this state each and every one of them is expendable. Their .job tenure and security are at the risk of principals. While this deplorable condition is un folding before our eyes we hear the cry for more technicians, more nurses, more craftsmen.' more trained p" " ery walk of life but teaching Maybe, now that, the not me ha? come from the Board of Higher Education that there are too many Negro teachers. Negroes will wake up and hesin to do something a bout it. * ♦ * * If the Southern racists who are currently carrying on the Con gressional witch hunt into the operation of the Washington. D. C. schools under integration, had any sense of fairness, justice and elemental.v equality they would confess to the great wrong that, has been done the District's Ne gro school children during the long black year* of school segre gation Instead of admitting to the crystal clear evidence that (be Negro students in Washington have been systematically cheated and deliberately rob bed, these “reprusentalives"of the people are gleefully kick ing up their heels and shout ing across the country. "I told you so." It is fortunate for the Negro and for the nation that there are those who can evaluate these re i suits in the light, of truth. II- is i fortunate that, here in the South j there are men of integrity and ; good-will who are willing to stand 1 up and tell the truth about this ; situation. The fact stated in the ! following editorial from the Ra ; lei,ah Times of Sept 22 are clear ! concise and unrefutable This edi torial "Washington Schools In* I vestigation Show Congress Was I the Culprit" is given in full: • The House District, of Colum bia subcommittee, made up rnost ,]y of Southerners, has come up : with the wrong villain in its cur ! rent investigation of integration ; in Washington schools The subcommittee apparently : hoped to find that integration was impractical, so that the South ' erners would be provided more fodder for defiance of the Su ; preme Court decision. Instead .the , subcommittee found that it ss it self the real culprit, for its past continuous failure to entorce m Washington schools, the separate bm equal doctrine when it was in effect. District schools were separate ■ all right, until 1954. but they were ' not. equal As the population in . (he District .shifted from a small percentage of Negro citizens to a level approaching helf, the school -ystem did not keep pace. As late as 1950. the school system which like all Washington governmental ; functions is under the direct con trol of Congress, had two and three shifts in overcrowded Ne , gro schools while white schools literally stood empty. Schools were ; divided by race on an outdated formula, and were not changed. Though a school area, might, change from white to Negro, the school continued t.o be white. The result of overcrowding and understaffing was inevitable The ! standard of education for Negro •es was lower than for whites. When integration came in 1954. ! it was bound to cause t.rumoil. Negroes were enrolled in the grade | they would have been in in their : Negro school, but found the work ! a year or two ahead of them ; They were not unduly dumb, but • were woefully unprepared j As happens in any school, with i children of any race, those at the j bottom of the class begin to beai ! a grudge. They take out their re j sentiment, in absenteeism or de : iinquency Unable to keep pace I through lack of past training. • they lose interest, turn away from school a b a failure. As it did in Washington two years ago, integration is eventual ly coming to North Carolina, whether we approve or not,. As they were in Washington, Negro schools are still inferior to white school* in North Carolina, because w* perpetuate a system of in feriority from first, grade through graduation from a teacher's col leg®. Unless our schools are. made! j equal. North Carolina, will one! day be cursed with the same, pro-] ' blems that thave befallen Wash-j ] ington. As long as our schools are] ; i..0l equal, we not only feed the j | fires of integration, but increase the chance of lower standards ] and violence when it comes. The congressional District of 1 ! Columbia committees failed to do! their job in Washington. We j should not fail to do ours here. TEENAGERS (CONTINUED I ROM PAGE It I sexual relations with her.
