A. A. Alexander
Speaker To JSC
In-Service
Teachers
A well known state educa
tor advised in-service teachers
attending summer school at
Jackson State College to “con
centrate primarily on those
things which concern the
classroom teacher.”
A. A. Alexander, Supervisor
of Negro Education, State De
partment of Education, was
the principal speaker during
the chapel program recently.
He spoke on “A Look at Our
Public Schools in Mississippi.”
The former head of the Mis
sissippi Teachers Association
told his listeners that there
were specific areas for each—
the supervisor, the principal,
and the classroom teacher.
Each was cautioned against
infringing on the activities of
the other.
“However,” he added, “in
many instances the teacher
lacks adequate backbone to
speak out when he or she sees
wrong-doings. Acquiescence in
such matters will never cor
rect such conditions.”
The speaker cited some of
the things which he said the
teacher could do to eliminate
frills in their respective
schools.
“For one thing they can
work to develop an adequate
library.” They were reminded
that large sums of money were
being returned to the govern
ment simply because of a lack
of matching funds for library
improvement on the part of
schools.
Alexander mentioned the
operation of contracts on the
state level and blasted away
at such things as teachers
wearing caps and gowns dur
ing elementary school gradua
tions.
“The money spent tor such
purposes could better be spent
purchasing books for the
school.”
In closing, the speaker re
minded those present of the
vast improvements being made
in the physical facilities for
Negroes and of the need for
quality teachers.
“There were 873 teaching
graduates from the colleges
of the State this year.” he
warned. “This simply means
that supply has nearly over
taken demand except in a few
fields. Teachers will just have
to work harder.”
The program was one of the
weekly events which the Col
lege plans for the benefit of its
in-service teachers during the
summer session.

Russia has trained trouble makers, rabble rousers and spies snoop

the Russians trying to bluff us, but it is far worse to have them
treat our President with contempt and abuse.

The surprise about Berlin i> not that Khrushchev wants
to break this signed agreement, but rather that he kept it
this long. Consider how few agreements the Russians
keep and not one day beyond the day they are expedient,

One thought has emerged from the Summit Meeting which failed
to meet. You can only negotiate with Mr. Khrushchev one way
on what you give up — never on any concessions from him.

Sometimes it seems that summit conferences make two kinds of

Protests
On Firing
Of Reddick
MONTGOMERY, Ala. —Pro
tests against the firing of Dr.
Lawrence Reddick of Alaba
ma State College flooded Gov.
John Patterson’s office.
From the Rev. Ralph D. Ab
ernathy came this message:
“If you are bent on destroy
ing Alabama State College
and driving our best teachers
away, then you force us to
withdraw our sons and daugh- j
ters from it and send them to
other institutions of our state
that are supported by our tax
dollars. We demand that the
fantastic charges against Dr.
Reddick be withdrawn.”

THE UNESCO publication
stresses the fact that probably
90 per cent of all blindness in j
the less developed countries
is caused by preventable dis

In West Africa, for exam

suffer from onchocerciasis, or
river blindness, an eye disease
spread by flies.

as they do with children, Ruth
Ann in Chicago reached the
age of 13, and was in grade
7-A. In Jackson Harriet Ann
was now 10, and had just pas
sed the 5th at Sallie Reynolds.
Saturday evening Mrs. Per
ry and her adopted daughter
Ruth Ann, arrived in Jackson
from Chicago. They went im
mediately to the home of
Mrs. Perry’s brother. Darnett
Taylor, 1125 North Lamar St.
When they reached the
house, there stood Ruth Ann’s
little sister, Harriet Ann.
Without saying a word, show
ing no excitement, the two
girls walked to each other and
hugged with a tender and
calm affection. According to
relatives present, not once did
they act as strangers to each
other.
The girls spent Saturday
night telling each other about
themselves. Sunday, they
“went around.” Harriet Ann,
the native, showed her sister
from the north, the town.
During an interview with
relatives of the girls, pencil
sketches done by the older
girl showed exceptional talent.
Ruth Ann and Harriet will
spend two wonderful weeks
together, then they will part.
Time will pass. Who knows
when, or under what condi
tions they will meet again.
