The South can ill afford to believe
any longer in hyprocrisy. The separate
but equal dual school standard is now'
taking its toll and being felt by white
people as has been the case with the Ne
gro all the while. No one wants sub
standard anything. That’s the way it
should be in a united, strong democracy.
However, those who would dish the
leavings and the educational “crumbs”
to the Negro and less fortunate white
people are now finding these same
“poorer trained” people as some of the
teachers of white children as well as
teachers of Negro children.
V The separate but equal philosophy
prevailed so long until hardly anyone
expected any drastic change during his
; life time. This thinking seems to be
where we suffer in our human progress.
We apparently hope it will not happen
to us during our sojourn in this, “our
heaven on earth.” But now those who
would evade contemporary responsibili
ty are faced with these not-wanted
things happening to our generation.
Demonstrations, power structures,
black power, the Ku Klux Klan and any
other organized effort whose plan and
concept are to advance one segment of
the American people at the expense or
disadvantage of another is entirely
wrong and leads to trouble for every
body. No one should have to be told to

There is a chance that Raleigh may
be on the verge of recognizing the feasi
bility of directing attention to the world
of technology in a more equitable and
concrete way. Heretofore, it seemed that
until the Research Triangle was bom
that nobody was anybody unless he was
a college graduate. In other words, stu
dents were made to believe that unless
they were graduates of a college they
would automatically retard their econo
mic status by thousands of dollars dur
ing their life-time. The degree phobia
was emrchandised so adroitly that no
one seemed courageous enough to chal
lenge the onrushing avalanche of the
college-or-nothing concept.
Caught in this web of educational cir
cumstances were young people whose
very precious preparatory years were be
ing darkened and their main interests
and innate abilities denied opportunity
to develop. These young people became
frustrated. Many were drop-outs. Many
more continued along the path of right
eous-degreed-philosophy to become, in
the main, a teacher. With little or no in
terest and no motivation to teach, the
Negro has been victimized by a mono
educational program, which was an end
instead of achievement and the best use
of his God-given talents.
Beginning at a lower technical educa
tional level pupils would find many
things which they have natural aptitude
for and interest in, thereby allowing
depth of motivation and a higher quality
pupil. There should be less drop-outs,
in that the pupil would look forward to
going where he could learn something
by doing as well as by reading, or being
told. When he reaches high school, (and
many hundred more that don’t now,
would), he and his guidance counselors,
(and the counselors should be trained
technically and not from a text book),
could well know his area of interest and
natural ability. With this number-one
over-hauling of our public school system
a student would be in a better position
to begin a career.
North Carolina will, no doubt, find
that technical high schools are a compo
nent part of an area that expects to
reap the harvest of a fastly growing in
dusrial concept. No longer can we sit
supinely by and give mainly college

To fenagle with trouble or troublemak
ers is only to condone or invite it.
It seems time now that North Caro
lina would not find itself placed in the
same position from which we experien
ced so costly and embarrassing in our
educational circles.
Politics is an institution equally as
masterful of our destiny as is education.
Should our law makers continue to sym
pathize with irrationalities which clut
ter our streets with people in robes or
with hearts of misunderstanding and
hate, all the people must pay and suf
fer the consequencies. Chicago, New
York, Los Angeles are only examples
of what might happen anywhere in the
U. S. Lawmakers have a responsibility
to determine what is good and also what
is bad in setting up a code of law to gov
ern our state. And when there is history
and proof of bad today in any organi
zation, our officials should stamp out
any potential violence or trouble by en
acting necessary' laws to so do. In all of
our many facets of living there could be
a greater measure of preventive efforts
by officials to aid in keeping our streets
peaceful and calm. !
We believe the smoke is dense enough
to point to the fire and its origin.
feeder courses when an area is demand
ing personnel which can contribute to
its industrial growth. Everywhere there
is heard the cry for trained personnel in
a given* field. Business and industry, in
particular, have felt the pinch and still
have little or no reservoir from which
to obtain trained people to fit their po
sitions, without many hours of needed
training.
Students became college graduates in
self defense. This does not mean that
the same college graduates would not
have finished preparation for a. life’s
work in a field or career more in line
vrili eh<-ar talents. However, no one
wants to be looked down on. Conse
quently, we now find many square pegs
in round holes, mainly because there
was no choice of specialized education.
With the advent of a new South, con
ceived in a diversified economy, the
word technology looms big and more
important than ever. Economic position,
social status, etc. may be achieved in
this new* world. This kind of world is
the equalizer of a poor and rich region.
Money can be earned in porportion to
one’s ability in a world of his liking and
choosing and, of course, it may also car
ry a degree. Nonetheless, prestige should
result not from labels or categories bu
from one’s rise to the heights in his en
vironment of natural adaptability to his
craft, profession, trade, art, business c
wherever his talents carry him.
A new look at the world of doing, or
the co-ordination of the hand and the
mind, carries, we believe, the need for
a new evaluation of just where the be
ginning of technical appreciation should
begin its emphasis for guidance pur
poses. Our humble suggestion is that in
dustrial arts, now on high school level,
should begin in the sth grade and go
through the Bth grade,
While an industrial high school costs
hundreds of thousands of dollars more
than a high school with some technical
courses, certainly we must realize now
the capital investment needed to reap
the greater economic harvest through
industry, later. And diversified educa
tion is as much to be wanted as a di
versified economy.
