A PARAMOUNT DECISION
TTever before has the people of the, South needed
-State and school leaders with abundant wisdom and a
feeling of dedication to purpose than now. Never before
3iave our government leaders and educators been faced
with such a big and difficult problem as what recourse
to take in seeking the best solution to our public school
.system.
In the seventeen states affected by the segregation
decision, there are about 9,000,000 white children and
2,650,000 Negro children. The variance in Negro enroll
ment presents such problems to our state and school
H.GCil"S SS"
1. How will it affect the school building program?
2. What will become of our thousands of colored
educators?
q W.at hnnnpn to education itself?
4! What steps can be taken to insure a better, and
jiot a worse public school system?
i! To solve all these problems will take intelligent
planning and thinking, plus time. Right now our school
system is woefully unprepared for any integration pro
gram. Tuthermoje, the state and school leaders will
find the whites less willing to go long with any integra
ttian rogram that the South was slowly learning to
accept-and that the South would have put through on
its own accord if given.time to worn out. me piumem.
Inadditibn to mis, the colored people realize that
great strides, unpresented in history, have been under
taken in North Carolina and. hi' much of the South in
irecentyears in providing their race with better school
if acuities, and as a result they, know that the Colored
JSystem of education has attained its all-time high stan-
daril. , . , .
Consequently, most Negro educators and the think
ing -members of the race are quite content to remain
segregated in the schools. And it is only reasonable that
they should see and feel it that way. Why in the world
should you junk or completely revamp a system when
that system is operating at a peak point with the promise
of getting even better if given time.
It is the concensus that most pridef ul Negroes want
the school stystem the way it is and has been. There are
many proven leaders among the Negroes who are per
oonoKio rf VianHlincf their own situations and the
race has progressed immeasurably in recent years under
their guidance.
The epoch-making decision of the United btates
Supreme Court has given us a problem, a big and
difficult problem. But no matter how big the problem
and difficulties, they are not insurmountable. We have
no doubt that our state and school leaders will solve
the complexities in a spirit of understanding and good
will. . '

week. I hadnt really decided to at all until I remembered how long
it has been since I was there in the home of my ancestors. I went
to recapture the deep peace of the beautiful Green Mountains, see
again the lush green fields, the well-kept farms. 1 have an urge to
go to the cemetery where my grandparents rest after such a long and
full life. Maybe I shall get strength from that lovely quiet resting
place to live out my alloted years.
And it has been a long time, too, since I have seen my lively and
delightful aunt who is undoubtedly the best cook in all New England.
I might even be able to pry from her the recipe for her delicious
maple-butternut cake. It will be such a joy to be again in her im
maculate and orderly house, all shining and clean with floors so
polished they are like a mirror. 1 shall beg to wash her priceless
china and the ruby glass which has graced the family table for almost
counUess generations.
It may be that there in Vermont I shall find something I have lost
recently, or that has been washed away by the horrible Maine spring.
Perhaps I shall regain some of my accustomed enthusiasm and light
ness of heart with those two perennially youthful girls, my mother
and my aunt. I might even acquire some of fortitude and courage for
which Vermonters are famous, those splendid souls who look life
straight in the eye and do not flinch, who carry on regardless of
trouble or misfortune, who live not merely exist.
I have been confined to Maine for a year now - and it seems more
like a prison daily. Days on end go by and I see the same four walls,
the same huge empty rooms. I find myself talking to my dog who
is already bored by my conversation. Lest I get so mired in the Maine
mud that I sink into a slough of despond and so stuck there I can't
get out, I shall pull myself out while I am able. I might reach that
point of no return and go quietly and desperately mad.
Obviously I am bored with the place and the weather and myself.
I need a new horizon, new scenes, fresh inspiration. The winter is
over, or so the calendar says. And it is high time I waked up from
my long hibernation, took a deep breathe and started to live again.
Already I feel better. In anticipating my escape from Maine for a
few days, my spirit revives. I feel filled with a zest for adventure.
And when I come back, I shall have a keener vision, a livelier
imagination. But for now much as I love the place, and I do, well,
I've had it - I've been cramped too closely these past months and
I need to stretch, need to grow a little. We aU do occasionally.

Early Discipline Could

By GARRY CUVEUND MXERS, Ph.D
JUVENILE delinquency? We've
seen nothing yetl
Wait till the yearly crop of
more than 3,000,000 babies, and
the dozen million toddler under
five, reach the age of nine, ten
or fifteen. Never a time In our his
tory, when so many parents be
lieved they should not restrain
the preschool tot lest he be frus
trated. Never a time when so tew
youngsters in the United States
under four "or five have learned
the meaning of No.
So while all our nation Is pua
zled and worried over the upsurge
of Juvenile delinquency, many of
the rank and file of young parents
are helping prepare a lot ol ba
bies and young children as re
cruits in the big army of youthful
offenders. Of course, these par
ents are not doing so on purpose.
They are doing it, and most of
thpm verv conscientiously, as
thev auDDOse the "experts" have
told them to do.

babies and young children. Who
win work on these children? Their
own parent., and they will wnen
they realize they should.
When will they think they
should? When they no longer
have propaganda of excessive
permissiveness forced upon them,
or when they use their own com-
monsense. Then there will also do
more love and understanding in
the home.
Proper Training Needed

hospitalization for the increasing
load of service-connectea psyem-
atric cases, VA announced.
VA said its mental hygiene clin
ics are able to treat certain types
of ruvchiatrlc cases at a cost 70
to 80 per cent below that of hospi
talization in even the most econo
mically 'operated hospitals.
As a result VA estimates its enn
im now uve more than $2,000,000' a
year in money that would be re
quired if the clinic cases had to be
hospitalized.
Service-connectel cases are n
nniv n-oun of veterans entitled to
both outpatient clinic care and hos
pitalization; and approximately ow,-service-connected
for psychiatric and neurologic dis
abilities. By treating-more oi ua
in oiinrs. the need for ex
pensive hospitalization among the
service-connectea psycniainc cw
may be reduced proporuonaieiy vn.
Moreover, these clinics enable VA
to shorten the hospitalization of
service-connected cases whose hos
pital treatment can be completed
nn an outoatient basis.
Annthor advantage o the clinic
program, VA said, is that it permits
the treatment o service-coiiii.-w
