TENN.—An offi cial of an integrated adult school denied this week charges brought against the school seeking to have it padlocked on grounds of creat ing a “public nuisance.” A petition chargi^ Highlander Folk School with permitting liq uor to be stored on its premises and stating that its students en gaged in drinking parties was filed last week. It sought to padlock the institu tion a» a “publi'c nuisance.” "Tha charges are preposter ous," Mrs. Septima Clark, veter an Negro teacher and director of education at the school, said this week. She declared that the complaint was another in a series of attacks made on the school because it is integrated and seeks to bring about integration in the South. “It is a well known fact to all those who have participated in pur workshops,” she said, “that there has been no drinking, pubj lie or otherwise, during work shops and that no liquor has been stored on school grounds.” "Tha real complaint, Mrs.' Clark daclarad," is tha fsct that Highlander has always been an intagratad school, and has in re cent years placed its emphasis on raca relations. “For 27 years Highlander has fought for the rights of ail peo ple; whatever their race, religion or political p ersuasion, to meet together, and to discuss their problems. Because of this. High lander has been intermittently at tacked by forces that oppose not only the principles of human brotherhood,' but also the very law of the land as interpreted by our highest courts. “These attacks will not cease, but Highlander will continue now as before to speak out for and to practice the principles which have guided it since its founding. The threat to silence the voice of Highlander is a throat to the basic freedom of thought and expression of every Ameri can." Mrs. Clark’s statement was /nade in conjunction with an an nouncement of a workshop on Citizenship in Schools to be held September 4-7, Eleven French students, spon sored by the Experiment in Inter national Living, with subsidies from the American and French governments, will be at the insti tution between Aug. 30 and Sept. 7 for the workshop.
