In a 17-page decision. Justice McGeehan sus tained the contention of Mrs. Jean Kay, a Brooklyn taxpayer, that the professor was not fit for the position because of his "immor al attitude toward sex," and was not legally qualified because he was not a citizen of this is said that Judge McGeehan sat up one whole night to read the four books written by Professor Russll, and that after doing so he declared in his decision that the appoint ment by the Board of Higher Education was "an insult to the people." He quoted, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." No one disputed the fact that Professor Russell was brilliant, nor that he was an out standing scholar, a logician and an excellent classroom teacher of the subject in hand, but it seems that When it came to character the professor did not make such a good grade. We congratulate the taxpayers of New York for rising in their rights to uphold the standards of their teachers. Bring the mat ter home: Would you like for your boy or girl to be taught by such a man, however so brilliant? try, ana yet w;:n eagie eye tney watcn tne the reforesting programs . measurements in Congress with.;haTe ' nom improved . we we f-ronr.rr. v much concern, lest their local pet projects se7 "T" V , piped into the farm houses . . . and, that win bertllt their own community be CUt .tRd forever the back-breaking job i Oil. joi carrying water ... we nave seen Unless average citizens housewives, busi-'01163 painted - . . grounds beauti ... . , , tied . . . fields cleaned . . . we have ness. professional people and worxers come fetn barren and rj2I. hi!L,ides to their senses, there is danger of our enter-; bloom into thick, grassy pastures. ing an era that will make the great depression of the thirties "look like a pink tea."

Greener Pastures out With the closing of schools and an election just ahead with campaign platforms greeting one from every front page of the newspapers, the following editorial from the Oxford Pub lic Ledger, might well be incorporated into a definite plank for some candidate, as all of them are having a lot to say about schools and education: "Have you ever contemplated the cost of lack of an adequate system of public schools in North Carolina? "Did you know that there is a larger prison population in North Carolina than there is college population? "Did you know that it costs the state an average of ?25 per month to retain a negro boy at Morrison Training School ? "A state with an inadequate education sys tem may be expected to continue feeding prisons and reform schools with delinquents and keep the prison population at a higher level than college enrollment, It costs more to maintain prisons and reform schools than : it does public schools and colleges. "Overcrowded school rooms, dan gerously overloaded school busses, underpaid school teachers and from one and a half to twice as many students to the teacher as good edu cational practices would allow are not com ; ponents of an adequate educational system. "Studies by the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare reveal that it costs the state as much to retain a Negro boy commit ted to reform school as the boy's entire fam ily can earn during the months the youth is being rebuilt from a delinquent offender to a worthwhile citizen. The study further shows that nearly half of delinquent youths are con victed of larceny. . "Youth is a major problem in North Caro lina today. Properly trained, well-guided youth, with educational opportunities is most certain to be a less troublesome adult The job is not one for police officers welfare workers and court officials, but one'for influ ential men and women of all racei -nA w who are willing to lend a helping hand to to day's problems of society. "Youth crusades are far better than a crusading- youth resulting1 from negligence." -.v. !- the eour.tv In driving through the county, we have recently been impressed with the" green pas tures.
