WANTED: MORE “QUALITY"
IN QUALITY
EDUCATION
ROCKY MOUNT - Tht «■
phasis to on *QuaUt» Education* in
Tarhealta since Terry The Great
'Sanford) ascended the throne in
Raleigh. (And we say that with
affection and not in derision as
many who hate the food tax do.
Mr. Sanford). Next to life, health,
love and money, there’s nothing
else needed so badly ss QUALITY
in ALL of Hfe.
This quality program is destin
ed to weed out the poorly prepar
ed teacher even tho many of them
are still praying that integration
will NOT come until they have re
tired because they KNOW they
CANNOT COMPETE when the
schools beoome Interracial. 'We've
heard several say ss much in sn
indirect way Isn't it s pity the
thousands of children they have
crippled in s literary way—Just
like Dr. Rudolph Jones of PBTC
said: They were illiterate when
they entered college and when
they left also. Consequently, the
children they pretend to teach re
main forever crippled and cannot
compete In today's Integrated so
ciety.
One more quality we'd love to
see the Negro community take
more interest in is the CHARAC
TER of the women and men who
are supposed to be ideals for our
children rather than curses as too
many are. Can we prove the
charge? You CAN yourself. Or.
your teenage students can tell you
at once which teachers are good,
moderate or bad.
The teachers who are constant
ly slipping around engaging in
immorality or noting like they are
—without being discrete, to say
nothing of being above suspicion,
should be relieved of their Joba of
being models for the young. Those
who have to frequent the boot-"
leggera mornings and nights are
unfit to teach any child anything
good. Women who constantly keep
late hours and attempt to Justify
it by saying: It's nobody's busi
ness but mine are unmindful of
thftt obligation to society to set
worthy examples. We frequently
see teachers’ cars parked hi ques
tionable places. Don’t think thoss
youths are not watching you. And
you can't discipline them after
they ‘get your number* on moral
lsues. either. It’s too bad to have
unwed teachers becoming preg
nant. What can you than expect
of the girts around hart One# it
was a crime for pupils to amoks
on school grounds, much leas In
buildings. Row the teachers smoks
in tht buildings. And so do the
riiis and boys. What a NEW
world It Bat is it bettor?
What we NEED and WANT to
MORE CHARACTER In the
schoolroom and in the polpM aa
well as In the home. Let parents,
too. set worthy example* for
youths to follow.

MORS QUALITY NEEDED
Now we want to defend tbs
overworked teachers who are
making coaaetontious efforts to
Impart wholesome. Christian
training to our wayward brat* x
angels (according to whether the
neighbor or the mother is doing
the pudflng). Remember we’ve
told you that Brother Jim Davis
(late of So. Wilmington St., Roo
ky Ift) always said: a, Ws need a
heepe teaehln’ **. That goes for us
adults as wall aa the children.
Moat of tho children of today
have little manners or courtesy
because moat colored parents fart
themselves as having gotten well
off If not rich because they are a
few dollars ahead of the furniture
collector and the building and
loan payments where they have
enrolled for life. We cannot say
too much about this great need
for teaching COURTESY to ours
and our neighbors' children.
(Frankly tho, this column most
confess w# are afraid to do so bo
causs we may get cursed out oy
parent and child aa in former
years).
Saw a high school middle-teen
age boy walk Into a barber shop
last week and collect for his dally
newspaper route: he wouldn’t dare
sell a colored newspaper—accept
the money and leave without even
a "Thank You" to the proprietor
for paying him. The fault ilea
principally with the failure of the
parents to teach him at home. The
teachers an expected to do every
thing nowadays except pin on
diapers. That’s not fair to teach
er*, child or community. Worst of
all. it hurts the Negro race im
measurably!
Heard a fairly young mother de
bate with a teacher on the merits
end demerits of letting children
"decide for themselves" what they
would or would not give to the
church out of their allowances
The mother said she let her off
spring spend theirs as they chose
—tor refreshment* or to the Sun
day Church School. Sounded like
quite a lack of parenUsl guidance
to this Mountlneer if a ten-year
old to left to hi* -eeource* where

And if on top of that could claim

Fame would be empty and ab-

The richest man without a friend
Is poor with all he has to spend.
Alone, with all that could be had,
A human being would be sad..
Not ta ourselves docs fortune lie,
Not ta tho things that gold can

And honor on which joy depends,
Is but th* verdict of our friends,
AD happiness that man can know,
