Attendance I Rising
Today, it js true, Negro
school atlcnriuni.o i. -i-i..
Colored students In most coun
ties Hiienrt newer and better
buildings than are available
i wnucs. And Negro teachers
in many counties receive hiu
er pay than whiles. But as of
today there is in Mississippi
only one Negro adult out of
o wim a nigh school educa
tion. In some counties the
ratio is one in 50 or 60. And
he white adult knows only
the educational and cultural
standards of today's Negro
adult- not that of youngsters
who may follow.
Hence, tile thoughtful lead
er in counties of heavy color
ed population, however inter
ested in the welfare of Negroes
of his community, lends to ask
himself: i
"Am I justified In turning
over the government of my
country to people a majority
of whom do not even have a
sixth grade education? Am I
Justified in throwing open
schools without the safeguard
of pupil assignment and
transfers?
"Can I risk the still further
reduction of my slate's edu
cational standards, which al
ready ore critically low?"
Going Only So Far
Faced with such a dilemma
the thoiiBhifiii ,
leader todav i onino

position not onlv tr, iii.,
such as that which blackened

against violence and inu,i...

In major cities, segregation

tends also to segregate the
classroom.
Only Negroes with money,
ability and education move

areas where they are eligible
to attend white schools.
But in some rural Miti;.

And for the laftn,- i .

jority regardless of color is a
move a thoughtful community
leader does not voluntarily
make. '
Hence Mississippi's rcspon

for which they see no imme

they fear enntimmr :
