The Fifth District Teachen Association held their annual meeting at the E. A. OibMm, School in Danville on March 19. The theme was: “Facing up To The Big Issue*”. Dr. Vernon Johns, orator and piiilosoplier, delivered the key note address. The speaker said that the three big iasues facing us are Human Subeistence, Hu man Relationships, and Human Destiny. We should liave a prin ciple that is worth losing our life for, or job for, or getting hurt for. In discussing human relationships as far as peace is concerned the noted speaker said ttiat we should not lose our fighting impulses t>efore we get rid of the inynilses which make fighting necessary. Dr. Johns deprecated the neutral in dividual. The speaker said we must always, “Stand Up For Something”. We are in danger of conceiving of education al most entirely in terms of orna mentation and finesse. There are two monstrosities in society not ed the speaker-the one who broadcasts his superiority and the one who acknowledges his inferiority. When integration comes, said the speaker, and we have our inter-racial feast, he hopes that the white man won’t come in bringing the turkey and the colored man his appetite.
