VffiGMA ADVISORY COMMITTEE
ON SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
HOLDS ANNUAL CONFERENCE
HAMPTON , Va.
Thirty-four Virginia educa
tors attended the meeting of the
Virginia Advisory Committee
on Schools and Colleges at
Hampton Institute from July 24,
through July 26, for a confer
ence on school and college prob
lems.
The Committee used as a
general theme “Improving In
struction in Schoolr and Col-
leges," under which they dis
cussed the problems of—1. im
proving school-community re
lations; 2. improving educa
tional programs in schools and
colleges; and 3. using tests to
insure maturity.
Dr. A. G. Macklin, director of
basic education, Virginia State
College, Petersburg, Va., point
ed out that the education story
in Virginia shows more children
in its schools and colleges, better
salaries paid instructional per
sonnel and more teachers with
higher educational certification,
during the first session on
Thursday evening, July 24.
He said, “From the Mld-Cen-
tury White House Conference on
Children and Youth, we get the
implication that what we must
work to develop are adults who
realize that adulthood is not at
tained by age but by the degree
of maturity achieved; that A-
merica and her schools must not
rest until discrimination and
bigotry In all aspects of our
national life have been appro
priately briddled:.^.
Continuing, Dr. Macklin aald
that, "In our efforts to produce
thinkers, we have probably
made people afraid to really
reason.”
He pointed out that “The
great task before us now is the
rededication of the teaching
personnel and the improvement
of instructional methods so that
our educational goals will be
achieved." ^
In conclusion he said, ‘The
challenge to teachers is that of
making sure that in our efforts
to be democratic, we do not Jose
the opportunity to teach respon
sibility and to develop Initiative
geared to reflection by permit
ting outmoded freedom and per
sonal demands and rlghta to
place upon conscious personali
ties the eannarks of educated
people."
Dr. J. Rupert Plcott, execu
tive secretary, Virginia Teach
ers! Association, Richmond, Va.,
addressed the second seulon on
Friday morning, July 26, on
“Improving School-Community
Relations?’ He urged school offi
cials to make parents active
partners In the administration
of schools, to recognize disagree
ment and make a strong effort
to dissolve differences without
destroying the partnership. Dr.
Plcott advocated good school
personnel policies, clear-cut de
tailed and written, develoj)^
cooperatively with the public.
This session was followed* by a
group study of the topic.
Dr. Eva C. Mitchell, professor
of education, Hampton Institute,
addressed the third session of
the Virginia Advisory Commit
tee on Schools and Colleges on
Friday afternoon, July 25, on
“Improving Instruction In
Schools and Colleges."
Dr. Mitchell said: “Adminis
trators, teachers and school i>er-
sonnel need to be more definite
in the expression and applica
tion of their own educational
philosophy.” She said the wel
coming of sharp criticism of
philosophies by educators and
teachers “may prevent dangn-

ous complacency and aid the
individual who is honestly try
ing to do a good piece of work
to see weaknesses that had not
been discernible and to correct
them.”
She emphasized that a plan
must be developed whereby
pupils of all levels are kept to
gether in schools just as they
are founi^ in the community and
that provision be made for the
development of gifted children.
Dr. Mitchell urged the recog
nition by School personnel of the
relationship between the stu
dent’s personal problems and his
school success.
She concluded by citing the
need for evaluating techniques
on all levels “of the education
ladder” for appraisal of the stu
dent’s ability to organize pre
sent information, to undertake
projects geared to his level of
ability, and to increase in power
to think critically as well as to
perform adequately on routine
tests.” Tiiis session too was fol
lowed by group study of the
subject.
In winding up its three-day
annual meeting at the fourth
session on Saturday morning,
July 26, the Virginia Advisory
Committee on Schools and Col
leges ' beard recommendations
asking the unification of the Ne
gro and white division of the
committee to take advantage of
the speakers available at the
Summer Session.
Also recommended was that
the Negro division hold its 1953
meeting a week later in July
than the 1952 session, and at
Virginia State College, Peters
burg, Va.

mittee on Schools and Colleges

NAACP REVEALS RECORDS OF
SENATORS SPARKMAN, NIXON
NEW YORK
The civil rights records of the
Democratic and Republican vice
presidential nominees as indi
cated by their votes on the Issues
in the House of Representatives
and in the Senate were made
public today by the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People In ac
cordance with directives of the
Association’s national conven
tion.
Both John J. Sparknian of
Alabama, the Democratic can
didate, and Richard Nixon , of
California, the Republican, have
served in both Houses of Con
gress. Accordingly,"* they have
had ample opportunity to vote
upon various civil rights issues.
The NAACP survey deals
only with civil rights issues
such as the filibuster, the House
Ruels Committee, FEIPC, segre
gation, the poll tax and antl-
lynchlng. Such tangential issues
as labor, social welfare, civil
liberties and foreign affairs are
not included in the survey.
Two Vital Issues
In releasing the records, Roy
Wilkins, NAACP administrator,
indicated that the- vital civil
rights issues ate (1) the filibus
ter with test votes on cloture,
the Barkley ruling, and the
House Rules Committee; and
(2), the FEPC. "While other
record votes are important,”
Mr. Wilkins said, “they are not
as important as these basic
issues. Unless bills are permitted
to come to a vote, we can have
no legislation and, of course, an
FEPC with enforcement powers
is essential to our economic se
curity.”
Senator Sparkman has served
in Congress since 1936, first as
a member of the House of Re
presentatives and, since 1946, as
a senator. The NAACP survey
covers his legislative record for
the 10 -year period, 1942-52.
After serving two terms in
the House to which he was first
elected in 1946, Mr. Nixon was
elected to the Senate in 1950.
His record for the six-year
period is covered by the survey.
The score as revealed by the
survey follows:
For Civil Rights Against

Greene County
Pig Chain
Expands Rapidly
Rapid progress Is being made
with a pig chain started in Feb.,
for Negro 4-H Club members in
Greene County, according to A.
L. Jones, Negro county agent
for the Agricultural Extension
Service
ThsL chain was started with
four ^uroc gilts given by the
county Farm Bureau organi2a-
tion to outstanding 4-H Club
members. To keep the chain
growing, each member agreed
to pass on to ctub members, two
sow pigs from iiis first litter.
The first gilt, owned by Scott
Edwards, Jr., of Route 3, Snow
Hill, farrowed a litter of 10
nice pigs In early June. A second
gilt, ttelonging to Wiley Farmer
of Route 1, Stantonsburg. far
rowed a littse of six pigs on
July 9. The other two animals
are expected to farrow in Au
gust.
All club members, says the
county agent, are very much
j interested in their gilts and 0igs.
' They follow closely the recom
mendations given on swine care
and management. Other 4-H’ers
are very enthusiastic in making
preparations for the pigs that
will be passed on to them in
keeping the chain growing
Now see for yourself why
LUCKIES TASTE BETTER!
Inside the pure white paper of
LUCKY STRIKE is the reason it
tastes better. You can see it for your
self—and here’s how; Take a
LUCKY from a newly opened pack
and carefully remove the paper by
tearing down the seam from end to
end. Be sure to start on the seam. In
tearing don’t crush or dig into the
tobacco. When the paper is opened,
carefully liftoutthe tbbacco cylinder.
You’ll see that it’s a round, firm,
perfectly formed cylinder of fine
tobacco—an important reason why
LUCKY STRIKE tastes...
CLEANER.. • because it is free of loose bits
of tobacco that get in the mouth
and spoil the taste.
ntiSHER.. • because it is without air spaces —
“hot spots” that bum too fast,
and taste hot, harsh and dry.
SMOOTHER.. .because of its really fine
tobacco and the firm, full way it is
shredded and packed, making it
free and easy on the draw.
a
The better taste begins in every mellow leaf of
LUCKIES’ really fine tobacco—tobacco that
gives you all of its true, full flavor in smoking
because of the way it is made into the cigarette.
The long, clean strands of LUCKIES’ fine tobacco are packed so firmly and so fully
that your LUCKY always smokes smoothly—evenly—always gives you that cleaner,
fresher, truly milder taste. Enjoy the better taste that only realty fine tobacco in a
better-made cigarette can give you.
