VV UINING: The primary for
the selection of members for
Raleigh's City Council will be
Vld next March, if we hope to
succeed In putting a Negro on
the Council, effort, toward Hull
end should begin now. As a
milter of fact the candidate
should have been selected and
the ground laid some time ago.
Vast experiences should have
taught ns the utter futility of
PT! r hoping to succeed in this
direction by continuing to
make Ihe same mistakes of
pro* rastination and confusion
(hit have been both the kes
note and the death kuetl of
our past efforts.
Because, after making sever .1 ,
'unsucc> ssful attempts to elect a.
Nr-ero t.-> the Council, there is no,v
n feeling of defeatism and pcs.-’
mism regarding the possibility of a •
Negro ever being able to make th- ■
grade, should not deter us one min- i
idc. We do not have a Negro on i
th# Ci, y Council of Raleigh si nr.- ;
pie because we have not interest
ed ourselves in putting one ther-
V.'hrn v.*e really make up rn •
minds that we want representaihn 1
on the city's governing body we 11
will put one there. You are the 1
only person who can prevent that ‘ 1
from happening It would seem
that when you look about yotir
c!ty. see your lack and your needs,
see the little, and most limes, no
attention given you or your needs
by your City Council, you wnuid
decide that you do need and want
a representative there who under
stands and appreciates your need?
and welfare because he is one of
you But please remember, now t.y •

DR. WATSON
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
I
asked Hampton Institute officials
to recommend some Hampton I
graduate especially outstanding \
in secondary school administra*'
tion. Dr Watson’s name was se- j
lected.
(2) The logon Tattler, school!
newspaper, reported earlier this
month that one of the visitors to
the school during December was]
Dr. A H. Blankenship, superin- j
tc..c.mt ui .jCliuOis in Gatj I,id. j
This newspaper learned thatj
Dr. Blankenship arrived in Ra
leigh by plane from Chicago on
the morning of December 1.
He registered at the Sir Walter!
Hotel He interviewed Dr. Watson :
for some three hours, visited the:
State Department of Public In-1
sti uction for routine checks on
Dr, Watson’s credentials, talked [
for a short time with local friends.;
and enplaned for Chicago late in;
the afternoon. Gary is some 20:
miles from Chicago.
Sandersons ire resulted
from Blankenship's moves
which were without Sander
son's knowledge or approval.
Informed Negro' and white!
e-ources are inclined to place Dr. •
Watson's decision to leave Ra
leigh at the respective doors of!
Sanderson, tiie Raleigh City i
Board of Education, and the;
whole integration controversy.
According to the reasoning of,
these sources, these fivcts con
tributed to Dr. Watson's decision 1
to move may influence other
young and able Negro educators |
to leave the South for other sec
tions
i 1 1 Immediately the ‘‘bus
doublecross”. Sandersons alleged
ly “high handed methods" in
buying two school buses to trans
port Negro students from Ooerlin
section in West Raleigh to Ligon
"offended Dr. Watson’s sense of
dignity and lawfulness", lire
CAROLINIAN was told.
Persons holding this view said
Sanderson intimidated some Ra -
leigh parents by threatening them
witli loss of their jobs if they pro
tested his plan to use the bus to
transport the students. This whs
an alternative to applications fil
ed for Negroes to enter a school
near their home.
It is claimed that Sanderson
never processed the applications
of Oberlin patents who sought
to enroll their children in the
Josephus Daniels School (pie-,
sently and exclusively white juni
or high school in Ihe West Ru •
leigh areii >.
■2' Failure of Raleigh's City
Board to plan tor desegregation
wuh “deliberate speed" as order
ed by the Supreme Court. It is
claimed that Dr, Watson leaver 1
ti,.s section thoroughly disillus
ioned with the attitude of some,
Negro and white citizens to im- j
.■lenient the 'Court’s decision re-:
-andny compliance.
Reasonable men admit that
some desegregation is inevitable,
according to persons with these
views.
They say it is an impossible
position lui a conscientious edu
cator not to know how to plan a
long-range program More, they
say, it is disheartening to live In.
a community where general civic
apathy permits school officials to ;
ao along deliberately evading the
law,
Some persons say it is possible
that Dr. Watson reasons that lo
cal Negro leadership has not ex
hausted legal means to compel
the admission of the Oberlin'stu- j
dent-v to the schools nearest their i
home.
It could not he deteimined im
mediately what Negro leaders will
do about the applications which
now apparently are resting on
Sanderson’s desk.
'3) Lack of tenure in Raleigh
Schools and Security offered in
Gary. At a practical and economi
cal level. Dr. Watson, father of
two schooi-age children, could ill
afford to turn down the Gary
offer.
He is employed as other state
school personnel on a year-to
year basis. In Gary, he will be as
red of permanent tenure alter
a brief period.
Dr Watson is the second Ligon
faculty member to leave within
a year. Albert Whitaker, a science
t< ucher. resigned 1/ early Fall to
take a more luc alive oifer in Ro
chester, N. Y.
Reports throughout the state
are that many well trained Ne
«roes are leaving for Northern
posts paying more.
The Ligon school head became
the first principal here on July 1.
1953. He and his staff were she
first occupants of the new struct
ure.
There are 41 teachers at the
school teaching grades one
through twelve.
Feelings of "‘deep regret'' are
being voiced In professional
circles throughout the State
where Dr. Watson is a highly
respected person.
A graduate of Hampton
where he received the B.A,
degree, he also earned a mas
ter's at Hampton ami filer
earned his Ph D. at New Fork
University.
He started teaching after grad
uating from Hampton at. 19. His I
first .lob was nt, Acrnmar. Vu.l
where he remained for four years.
He then moved to Mt. Olive. N. C..
where he taught for four more;
years.
His first principalship was at j
! Newbold Training School. After
| a time as principal of Sampson
j County Training School, he was
(chosen principal of the Carver
School In Forsyth County
Dr, Watson came to Raleigh
from the Forsyth County post
He has spent a total of some
23 years in the field of education
and has received the highest de
grees possible in his field.
“The loss to the state of such
a man at this crucial time in
North Carolina educational his
j tory is nothing less than terrible,"
j one highly placed state educator
1 said.
, Dr. Watson is a life member of
I the National'Education Associa
j tion; a member of the Phi Delta
i Kappa honorary society; a mem*
! bar of the Executive Committee
| of the N. C. Teachers Association.
| a member of the National Asso-
I elation of Secondary School Prin
| cipnls and the American Asso
ciation of School Administrators,
I No definite word regarding a
successor was available at
! time.
; However, it was learned that.
I the top piospoet is Dr. Spencer
lE. Durante, principal of Carver
j High School, Mt. Olive.
| He is a graduate of Shaw Uni-;
i versity who recently received his
* doctor’s degree for the University
|of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Durante, who is married to
J the former Miss Rosalia Jolly of
j Raleigh. It could not be determin
ed whether or not Dr. Durante
i would be released at such short
j notice by his present school
iboard.
! An interim administration at
I Ligon would possibly be headed by
i William J. Holloway, former dean
!of students at Savannah State
I College, and a personnel and gui
i dance expert of the Ligon staff,
lone speculator told the CARO
i LIN IAN
