I There ls still another factor
that should be discussed the mat

comjx’tent to man he jobs that
are being made available. There
Is a story going the rounds that an
examination was given on,one of
our collegr campuses to place
some students In real Jobs. The
story goes that all of the students
failed. It was decided to give the
exam to the teacher who was sup

The ‘‘dropouts” are the respon

circumstances were that caused

and what-have you need to seek,
lookup, trace. Investigate pursue,
contact and even pursue every
known “dropout” tn the state and
warn them that they are not be

NASHVILLE lANPi—There’s an
old saving ahout New Year's re
solutions of "if you can't keep them,
don't make them," and Miss Clarice
Reed, operator of the Red and white
Liquor store, was reminded of that
recently Earlier this year, she
wounded a bandit who attempted
to rob her The bandit escaped, but
Mur Reed vowed "I will leave the
next one who tries to rob me lying
on the floor-dead.” The “next one”
tried it, and got away unharmed
with S2SO. Miss Reed told police
the robber caught her unaware, and
after getting the money, locked her
and another employe* In a back

At 37th General Conference:
l AME College Presidents
Express Concern Over
Drop-Outs, No Jobs
CINCINNATI Grave concern
over the growing number of school
drop-outs and the high rate of
unemployment among Negro you
th was expressed last week by the
nine college presidents attending
the 37th General Conference of
the AME Church, Cincinnati,
Ohio. The Conference at its Sec
ond Session today was greeted by
Dr. Grace L. Howell, Program Co
ordination Officer. U. S. Depart
ment of Health. Education and
Welfare. Dr. Howell was attend
ing as guest consultant of the
denomintaion's Department of
Educational Institutions.
Among several recommendations
on education endorsed by the Con
ference was a call for more
church-sponsored programs of re
medial and tutorial Instruction to
help Negro youth to overcome
p« in their educational back
grounds t.nd prepare them for op
portunities arising out of the “Age
of Automtalon".
Dr. .Sherman L. Greene, Jr.,
of Nashville. Tennessee. Secre
tary of the AME Department
of Educational Institutions
termed education of Negro
youth “one of the most critical
problems of our time." “We
are playing with social dyna
mite" he said, “as long as we
permit our youth to carry
their frustrations to the streets

] for settlement. The urgent
need for mature. Intelligent
leadership is quite apparent
in this crisis and we must do
more to proivde it.”
Speaking for the nine AME Col
lege Presidents, Dr. Greene called
■ on President Johnson to attack
"Educational Poverty”. He point
ed out the problem of providing
' quality education in private
' schools that are predominantly
1 Negro is mainly one of adequate
’ financing. Dr. Grene said that the
• Federal Government must invest
’ more in education even where the
schools affected were Church-re
-5 lated or Church-sponsored. Any
' problems arising out of this touch
; ing on our traditional Church
■' State relationship will be resolved,

i
Discussing the Higher Edu
cational Facilities Act of the
Federal Government Doctor
Greene called R a step In the
right direction but stated that
It was too little for too few.
One particular problem point
ed out in this Federal legisla
tion Is the question of control
by Local and State Boards of
Education which. Dr. Grene
said, carry with them the local
prejudices against giving Ne
groes equal treatment even
where expenditures of tax
funds »re conr*med.
In many cases, he said. Negroes
are deliberately left out of pro
grams of general nature. In many
respects this will create the same
set of problems that now plague
the nation with respect to the
ballot and the free exercise of the
right to vote.
Dr. Greene concluded his state
ment with a reminder that Fed
eral scholarship grants and loans
were not now reaching young peo
ple in families of low income, a
fact which he said, tended to eli
minate the majority of Negro eli
gibles. He stated that most of the
grants were going to families with
incomes averages of $12,000 to
$13,000 per year.
