Inti CAfiCLifcliUi RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1965 Merger Versus Integration BY S. E. DUNCAN President of N.C.T.A. The topic to which I was invited to address myself on this occasion might be appropriately modified to read “Merger and Integration” without appreciable loss of mean ing because of its relationship in the context of an obvious situation. However, the concept of merger has been fostered to hinder the use of rationalization and error in de fining the concept of integration ss a slow process of desegregation without due regard for the contri butions and potential of either or both State Teachers Associations in the best interest of the public's welfare. First, we wish to commend the North Carolina Education Associa tion for removing racial restric tions from its constitution, even Imported MacNAUGHTON CANADIAN WHISKY 2 PINT 4 •* OT< I MacMUGSITON 1 H CANADIAN WHISKV I lUt A BLEND H I '&JiiU MmJU 1 &ana,Om if, AGED SIX FULL YEARS ’ 8 ■ 1 A PRODUCT OF CANADA ||| CANADIAN WHISKY,* BLEND • 6 YELLS OLD • 868 PROOF ■ ©SCHEKIEY IMPOCTL CO.

In all fairness it should be noted that it was made dis tinctly clear in a public release prior to the submission of propos ed amendment that the question did not pertain to merger. But the overwhelming majority of the teachers and administrators who voted for the amendment and the professional nature of the Associa tion stimulates the North Carolina Teachers Association to strive for merger as it has in the past. The state and national movement for the greater recognition of and re spect for the dignity and worth of all people without regard to race, creed or color further commends and supports the basis for such ac tion. Toward this end the questions concern, in the main, recognition, representation, and some reorgani zation on tiie part of the two asso 13 ciations. It seems noteworthy that there exists on the part of NCTA no clamor for unequal representation In merger, a fart that is supported by the full recognition of differentials In the numerical strength of mem berships, employed personnel and perhaps in some other areas. But there does exist on the part of NCTA the need, the destre and insistence for representation and recognition in any plan designed for the real Integration and unification of the two associations in keep ing with the spirit of the reso lution of NEA and future prog ress in North Carolina. It seems appropriate also to point out that there is sufficient similar ity in the names of the two as sociations, NCEA and NCTA, to preclude any great disagree ment concerning a name that might be considered in merger. Factors conducive to merger are more numerous and logical than those that hinder it. As examples of this: 1. Both associations are affiliates of the National Education Associa tion. 2. Both associations hold mem bership in the United Forces for Education. 3. The organizational patterns of the two associations are similar and structured to a great extent on the basis encouraged by NEA. 4 Officers and members of the two associations have enjoyed fruitful contacts through the years and some have served together on national education committees and as officers of NEA. 5. The climate for intergroup re lations in North Carolina and the Nation has never been more con ducive than now for reorganiza tion and merger of similar organi zations of different races with due regard for the contributions and dignity of each. The geat Christian and democratic spirit of America has been stirred and the merger of Churches and other institutions across racial lines attests to the fact. fi. Both associations have remov ed icial restrictions from their constitutions, the North Carolina Teachers Association having done so more than 25 yeans ago and has white members. 7. The members of both associa tions have improved their academ ic and professional training to a great extent on their initiative and with encouragement from the State Department of Public Instruction and local administrative units. 8. Through the years both asso ciations have been tremendously interested in such areas as com pulsory school attendance, school bus transportation, school consoli dation, school lunch program, bond issues affecting educational prog ress, the improvement of health conditions in school and communi ty, educational administration and supervision, higher salaries for school personnel, and continuing {CONTINUED ON PAGE 14) SUNDERS FORD HAS .
