DISCUSS ACTS
OF BOARD ON
SCHOOL FAULTS
A mass meeting has been called
by the Community Action commit
tee at the Civic Center, 114 Erskine,
on Wednesday, May 2. at 8 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting Ls to
discuss with the people of the
East Central area the report of the
Hoard of Education on action to
correct bad conditions in the
Bishop and Lincoln schools.
Tne committee outlined to the
board on March 20 ten condi
tion* at the schools. The report to
be discussed In the mass meet
ing was given to an executive
meeting of the committee on
April 23 by James H. Voorhes,
supervising principal of Dis
trict 12.
• • •
AT THIS MEETING, which was
attended also by Principal Paul T.
Thompson of Bishop school and
Principal O. B. Healey of the Lin
coln school, in addition to discuss
ing the 10 conditions, both prin
cipals pledged active staff support
to the building of strong Parent-
Teacher associations at these
schools. According to members of
the committee, such support has
been lacking in the past.
Atty. Leßron Simmons, repre
senting the National Negro Con
gress, one of the six national and
local organizations already affili
ated with the committee, offered
his services in helping to set up
branches of the National Parent-
Teacher association, under the na
tional rules of that body.
• * •
IN DISCUSSING the need of a
thorough cleaning of the Lincoln
school, Voorhes informed the com
mittee that many other schools in
Detroit are "as dirty as Lincoln
school." He cited the Sampson
.'K-hool at 6075 Begole as an ex
ample. The committee pointed out
that the Sampson school also has
only Negro pupils.
The three representatives of the
school system agreed that the tru
ancy and juvenile delinquency rate
is higher in the district of the Lin
coln and Bishop schools than in
any section of the city. The com
mittee pointed out the need for
correction of conditions in these
two schools which may be con
tributing to this high rate.
