School Asked fo
Withdraw Books
Portland (UPD The Port
land Urban League's educa
tion committee has asked that
2,000 volumes of a reading
reference book be withdrawn
from Portland public schools.
.The book, ''Adventures for
Readers," used in all the
eighth grades in the city, con
tains a selection portraying an
objectionable Negro sterotype,
the committee said.
The . 1947 edition of the
book was adopted for use in
Portland public schools in
1950. It is this edition the
committee objects to, they
said, because of the portrayal
of a fat Negro cook who ap
pears as a member of a fam
ily circle in a short play and
speaks poor English 'in a
Negro dialect.
The committee made no for
mal protest but met inform
ally with Dr. Norman Hamil
ton, assistant superintendent
of schools, John Holley, direc
tor of community services for
the league, said.
. Although the cook has only
a few lines in the play, "she
represents what can be easily
recognized as one of the
harsher Negro stereotypes,"
Holley said.
