In their discussion. Farmer made a historic proposal in re gard to “completing the revolt tion" in the vast area of educa tion. Farmer, emphasizing the need to continue the struggle on every possibl level in the area of di rect action, proposed that tiie Federal Governn^ent subsidize a massive program of remedial education Utr(ni|ttoUt the nation in which students who have suf fered from sub-standacd and dis criminatory school systems, be given extra years of high-load remedial teaching to “undo 300 years of damage that have made schools in some parts of our na- tloh wholly inadequate.” Farmer said that “wirming freedom is not enough . . . even I U we end oub-ight discrimina tion quickly, there is ^ backlog of inadequate schools, teachers j and curricula that must be dealt, tvith and dealt with now in or der to complete the revolution.” Turning to the specifics of tha plan. Farmer estimated that close to 1,000,000 primary and I secondary school students are'l needful of this kind of program' immediately. The program, as en visioned by the CORE leader, would use existing plants, re cruiting teachers especially train ed in 1 remedial work, salaried by the govenment and teach ing students, t>oth white and Ne gro, in the North as well as the On December 1, the Woman's Civic Club of Durham iponsor- ed a Prelhrislma> Festival for the benefit of the Salvation Army Chrislmat Frnd.
