WRAU VIEWPOINT
The Processes of Education
We spent much of the week
end with a handsome and affable
— and certainly intelligent —
young man who reports the
news nightly on the American
Broadcasting Company’s televi
sion network. Peter Jennings
has learned a great deal about
the world. HO is clearly eager to
learn more. His greatest diffi
culty, as may be the case with
all of us, is this business of keep
ing things in perspective.
Not siuprisingly, the racial
conflict in America was very
miph on his mind as he chatted
with friends here over the week
end!, He was in no mood to con
demn the South, he said repeat
edly. Indeed he was obviously
impressed with North Carolina
and, generally speaking, what he
called “the atmosphere” here.
He visited at some length with
Governor and Mrs. Moore, Chief
Justice and Mrs. Hunt Parker,
and various other governmental
leaders. He was given a very
clear understanding that North
Carolina proposes to protect and
preserve the rights of citizens
by the'most obvious of methods
— by maintaining a fidelity to
nonsiiuiuonai principles.
In days gone by, this may have
sounded more like an undeni
able cliche than a roadmap to
survival. But today, the Constitu
tional processes of government
have been bent and twisted, re
shaped and redefined, to the
point that America often seems
a contradiction of the ..Very

in the Ku Klux Klan. Then he
was reminded that it is said that
North Carolina has 6,000 Ku
Kluxers — out of a total popula
tion of more than five million.
He acknowledged that perhaps
twice as many might be signed
up in New York City if some
body would just call a meeting.
He nodded pensively. Perspec
tive was beginning to work.
A lady who admires Mr. Jen
nings very much probably put it
to him most succinctly. It was
her judgment, she said, that if
the news media would stop puf
fing up out of all proportion the
acts of provocation and agita
tion, the cross-currents of con
flict would begin to subside im
mediately. She might have add
ed that if the federal govern
ment would end its harrassment
of state and local officials who
are trying to bring order out of
chaos, all might be surprised at
how quickly hostilities would
fade away.
There is no need to debate the
shortcomings of both sides of
the ugly pattern of racial up
heaval. The shortcomings exist,
of course they do! And they will
be worked out by understand

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?
by Henry E. Garrett, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus, Psychology, Columbia University
Past President, American Psychological Association
Q: Do you say a child can nav
ar ba any "smartar" than ha is
in tha beginning?
A: A child’s innate intellectual
potential does not change with
variations in his IQ — only our
measure of it changes. There is
only so much speed in a horse,
and it may vary on occasions. On
a given day, a horse may run
faster than on another day, but
his maximum potential never
varies. So with the IQ. The bulk
of the evidence indicates that an
ing, patient people and not by
big sticks arbitrarily poked at
one side and then the other. It
has long been evident that cool
minds seeking fairness can
achieve more than bleeding
hearts in search of political ad
vantage.
This was the message that
Peter Jennings’ hosts in Raleigh
tried to convey to him. It was
one that he seemed to under
stand. As Dr. Charlie Carroll re
marked: Freedom and freedom
of choice are inseparable. They
are, in fact, identical. One does
not exist without the other. Put
in that perspective, a lot of
problems might quickly be solv
ed. It might even be the most
constructive news Mr. Jennings
ever broadcast.
