►—C PAGE TWO £ Nothing has caused more concern and confusion than the multiple school problems which have occurred during recent years. Forced inte gration has been unaccept able to the majority of citi zens of all races. Finally, it now appears that a reap praisal of this approach is at hand. X Last week the House again considered the HEW appro priation bill for fiscal year 1970. This, of course, is the bill that President Nixon vetoed on January 26.

Jones House on Thursday passed a substitute bill containing $324 million above President Nix , on’s latest proposal, but also | $386 million below the bill , previously vetoed. But most , important as it relates to the ’ school problems previously mentioned, was that we were able to successfully include three provisions in this HEW bill, and they are as follows: 1. No part of the funds contained in this act may be used to force any school dis trict to take any actions in volving the busing of stu dents, the abolishment of any school or the assignment of any student attending any elementary or secondary school to a particular school against the choice of his or her parents or parent. 2. No part of the funds contained in this act shall be used to force any school dis trict to take any actions in volving the busing of stu dents, the abolishment of any school or the assignment of students to a particular school as a condition prece dent to obtaining federal funds otherwise available to any state, school district or school. 3. No part of the funds contained in this act shall be used to provide, formulate, carry out, or implement, any plan which would deny to any student because of race or color, the right or privil ege of attending any public school of his or her choice as selected by his or her parent or guardian. Os course, the Senate must also approve of this language before it can become law. Also, last week, the Sen ate approved the Stennis Amendment, which, in effect, would provide that school en rollment policies should be uniform in each of the 50 states. These actions by the House and the Senate sub stantiate the statement that a new consideration is taking place in this serious problem of school enrollment. One of the leading maga zines carried this statement in a recent issue: Julius Hob- THE CHOWAN HERALD, HBBWTOM, HOW CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY N, UN. i son, Washington’s leading l black militant, said, “Os ■ course—integration is a com > plete failure—what we’ve got I is no longer an issue of race, t but of class, the middle class > against the poor, with the r federal government standing ■ idly by—.the schools in Wash ; ington have deteriorated to a r point almost beyond repair— : if I could afford it, Fd send i my own children to a private ! school—l have an opinion I • hesitate to voice, because it’s . too close to George Wallace, . but I think it’s time we tried ’ to make the schools good ' where they are—the integra tion kick is a dead issue . . ” In addition, William Rasp [ berry, a highly regarded - black columnist for the Wash ington Post, on Friday, Feb ; ruary 20„ entitled his column . “Concentration on Integration . is doing little for Education.” . Speaking of forced integration . and busing, the columnist • said, “But it has accomplish ' ed nothing useful when it has • meant transporting large . numbers of reluctant young [ sters to schools they’d rather , not attend. The notion will ’ win me the embarrassing sup port of segregationist bigots, ; but isn’t it about time we started concentrating on edu cating children where they are?" And so, it might well be that we are reaching the point where once again the emphasis will be on quality education for all children— just as it should be.

T)»f baa. hr .ilw «• Make Going To Church A Hdbii THE NEW PEOPLE OF GOD International Sunday School Lesson for March 1 Memory Selection: “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”—Matthew 18:20. Lesson Text: Matthew 18:1-20; John 17. This lesson deals with God’s wishful and de termined idealism of His greatest creation—man. The establishment of a loyal community, from the Israelites down through countless centuries was the focal point of Christ’s advent in this world. Through His birth, and His death, would the people be led to the Kingdom, in which all things are possible, and in which all things are good. The Bible very graphically describes this ideal, and the work which went into bringing it to pass. It describes equally graphically—man’s fall from Grace, and the supreme sacrifice (the life of God’s only begotten Son) to undo rebel lion and sinning, and set man straight again in •the eyes of God. In the chapter under study today is the touch ing story of the one lost sheep; graphically de scribed is the tender care of the good shepherd— in this case, Jesus—and of the rejoicing that the restoration of the lost one brings to God in His Heaven. The restoration of a sinner to the fold of Christianity has always been a matter for re joicing in God’s eyes—much more so than those who have never been tempted to sin, and who virtuously pursue the path of redemption. Christ, in His time on earth, was ever cog nizant of this fact; else why should He have been so bitterly condemned for the company He kept? Christ knew those who needed Him the most were the lowly, the humble, and those who had fallen by the wayside. He looked into their innermost souls, saw' the need, and answered it. The inclusiveness of the Guspcl stung the sus ceptibilities of those of ancient times—much as it does today, jn our contemporary settings. And this, indeed, is a test of our true Christianity— as it is meant to be. The old people of Biblical times lived in a world vastly different from that in which we live today—in our so-called “modem times.” The pace was different—but the precepts remain the same. The responsibility of man to his brother remains inviolate. We are the “New People” of God. On our shoulders is laid the burden for which He so wil lingly gave the life of His Son. How can we fail Him? How can we match, in our own humble way, that sacrifice? We can bind ourselves in the fellowship that symbolizes the Church; we can actively and vo ciferously proclaim its precepts turning our lives into a living testimony to Its strength and effectiveness. We can CARE I We have our being in a new era and one which was never truly imagined by the people around whom our studies are built. We are ad vanced beyond the wildest figments of their im agination Yet, we have one thing in common Continued on Fag» I EDEN TON'S SHOPPING CENTER W. E.
