THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN
Governor Russell may be on the right track in suggesting
that teachers be re-certified, re-examined or otherwise, for
everybody should be classified—and paid, according to pro
ductive service.
Employing and paying teachers merely on diplomas or
collegiate or other academic degrees is an easy course to
ward inferior work. That which should count most is pro
ductive effort, sound teaching, stimulation of the pupil. One
teacher may be a Master of Arts cum laude and be a dismal
failure as a teacher; whereas another teacher of less aca
demic pretension may be a superlative teacher. I recall a
case in point, rather two cases. A man who taught mathe
matics excellently, for years was replaced with a man of
higher degrees and less ability as a teacher. Even in a store
a capable w r oman of proved ability and productive service
was replaced by a person of imposing academic degrees but
no proved ability in the work. We are becoming degree-mad
or foolish. Even in the ministry, a church wants a minister
with a degree of Doctor of Divinity. In one great church the
pulpit committee agreed on the preacher but feared that his
lack of the D.D. would prejudice the call; so one man—a go-
getter, you know—said “I’ll fix that.” So he finagled a D.D.
from a college with amenable and complacent trustees. Now
tell me just what the D.D. imports. But it is the way of the
world today; we are strong on SHOW and PRETENSION.
Of course a degree may import or imply scholarship, but
■ it does not guarantee it conclusively or productively. In the
case of a minister does it import spirituality ?
A teacher fresh from school may develop, but the teacher
already developed and productive, impressive, stimulating,
surely deserves more.
I recall the case of a mature lady who accepted a position
as teacher after many years of home-making. She was ad
vised to take a refresher course for her teaching of arith
metic and algebra. So she “took a course” in Bible and her
rating improved.
It isn’t my purpose to overlook the vast potential which
a spiritual awakening may insure, but, from a purely world
ly or academic consideration, the first consideration might
be a bit of Arithmetic and Algebra, unless the harsh exacti
tude of cold mathematics no longer commands respect.
RELY ON US
TO DELIVER
The idea of allowing money for tuition to pupils attending
private schools may have some pitfalls, though it may be
worth trying. If the spirit of our courts be like that of the
Appellate court which overruled Judge Wyche I see only
another clash with the Federal judiciary. A lawyer who in
vestigated the order of the Federal court tells me that the
Appellate court is on record as saying, more or less, that
Judge Wyche may not have been in error, but that sociolog
ical reasons suggested the admission of the Colored lad in
Clemson. The court must not have said “Sociological” as
badly as I say it, but the lawyer told me that “Sociological
reasons” was the clear implication.
Of course this new suggestion as to teachers would apply
to all teachers, White and Colored; and the pupil allowance
would apply to pupils White and Colored.
What about the school houses ? Shall they be classified and
leased? If so, how and on what basis to pass muster before
the eagle eye of a Federal Appellate Court?
I don’t know what the Governor has in mind but I sug
gest that all money for the schools for whatever purpose
be sequestered, deposited in trust awaiting final disposition
of the school problem.
I suggest that the Legislature forthwith place an embargo
on all school funds, that no more school houses be built un
til the whole question shall have been threshed out and con
clusively settled.
I suggest, further, that the State Colored college in Or
angeburg be closed or leased to private bidders.
I think our Clemson Board went all-out in the recent case;
and the calling out of a hundred Highway patrolmen to
maintain order was aflamboyant and grotesque confession
of weakness; worse than that, the preliminary brain-wash
ing of the students does not meet with enthusiastic approval.

NEWBERRY, S. C.
We may not endorse the attitude and remarks of A. W.
Bethea but I am reminded of something I use frequently over
the radio—that is privately, as a voice level.
You may know that before one speaks the technical ex
pert of the station calls to the speaker “Say a few words;
give me a voice level.”
Various quotations occur to me at times, but when only
a few words are needed I often quote firey old Patrick Henry
in those stirring days of the eve of our Revolutionary war—
when men were men, you know.
“Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First his Cromwell;
and George the Third—Some one shouted “Treason”—and
George the Third may profit by their example. If that be
treason make the most of it.”
Great old Patrick Henry; when men were men!
Perhaps the gentleman from Dillon may be our Patrick
Henry!
Now, now; you never can tell. Let me quote an Associated
Press dispatch from Hammond, Indiana. Observe now: In
diana; and Hammond, as I recall ,is just outside of Chicago,
Illinois.
I find this in the News & Courier, but don’t let Editor Tom
Waring’s firey blasts prejudice you on the item. After all,
you know, Tom has a full charge of the spirit of Patrick
Henry, as well as of the Rutledges, and all those other men
of iron of former days.
A Federal Judge turned down a suit by Negro parents
charging racial discrimination in the Gary school system,
saying the problem is ‘not one of segregated schools but
rather one of segregated housing.’
U.S. Dist. Judge George N. Beamer said that when a large
Negro population is concentrated in a single neighborhood
certain schools.
Judge Beamer added he saw no reason to destroy and
abandon a neighborhood school system for this reason. He
said the neighborhood school ‘is a long and well-established
institution in American public education’ and hud obvious
social, cultural and administrative advantages.
The suit is believed the first in the North involving an
entire school system. A federal judge has upheld charges of
segregation involving a single school district in New Ro
chelle, N. Y.
The parents of 100 negro pupils in Gary had charged de
facto segregation and said Gary school districts were drawn
along residential lines in such a way to create a racial bar
rier.
This northwestern Indiana steel city has a population
which is 39 per cent negro. The school enrollment is 53 per
cent negro.
Judge Beamer said the court ’'.as no ‘affirmative duty’ t
‘integrate the races so as to bring out ... a racial balance
in each of the various schools in the system.’
The judge noted that ‘either by choice or design, the
Negro population of Gary is concentrated in the so-called
central area’ and as a result the schools of that area are
populated by negro students.’
But the judge said the negro parents had failed to prove
students in such schools received inferior instruction or had
an inferior curriculum.”
Great are the doctors, aren’t they? I‘m thinking of the
doctors of medicine, more particularly the surgeons. By
the way, many surgeons may never use ordinary medicine
so why not Doctors of Surgery—and there may be. 1 know
a dentist is a D.D.S (Doctor of Dental Surgery.) However,
our great surgeons owe nothing to degrees; they actually
are productive workers.
How’s this:
“When an ambulance rushed 37-year old William Hunt
to Boston’s Peter Bent Brigham hospital a few days ago.
his leg was nearly severed, the result of an automobile ac
cident.
Until recently surgeons would have amputated the leg.
But an operating team of 30, including seven surgeons,
nailed the broken leg bone together, rejoined veins and ar
teries, and restored vital blood flow in a six-hour operation.
Today Mr. Hunt is able to wiggle his toes and his leg seems
well on its way to functioning normally again.
The case points up an important new trend in medicine.
Surgical skill and knowledge have advanced to a point where
rejoining of severed limbs or ‘reimplantation’ soon could be
come routine. Already at least a dozen such cases have been
reported, including eight in which arms, legs, hands or
feet were totally cut off. In three of these cases reimplanta
tion apparently has been successful, but surgeons still are
waiting to learn whether operations to rejoin nerve ends
will bring back normal limb functioning. Although the other

IN SOUTH CAROLINA
BEER IS A NATURAL
As natural as the wholesome grains and tangy hops from
which it is brewed, beer is South Carolina’s traditional bever
age of moderation — light, sparkling, delicious.
And naturally, the Brewing Industry Is proud of the good
living it provides so many folks in South Carolina. Approxi
mately 28,000 receive over $44,000,000 annual payroll in South
Carolina from the distribution and sale of beer—money made
here, spent here. In South Carolina, beer belongs — enjoy it.

EGGS!
Eggs! Yes sir! Income from the
sale of eggs topped $28 million in
South Carolina in 1961! This plac
ed eggs as a leader in the livestock
field as an income producer. Dairy
products brought in nearly $26
million in South Carolina in 1961.
The growth of our poultry indus
try has been rapid, changing from
small home flocks to large com
mercial flocks.
The trend in egg production is
to a higher quality product. This
pay.- off as a better product for
the housewife. All eggs processed
by Waldrop Brothers are graded
by USDA standards and are check
ed by government inspectors.
Good egg quality begins pn the
farm—some of the steps necessary
in maintaining good quality in-
cb’de:
1. Gather eggs frequently (at
least 4 times per day.)
2. Gather^ dirty eggs in separ
ate containers.
3. Gather in “flats” or plastic
type eeg trays.
4. Wash dirty eggs immediate
ly after gathering—be sure water
in washer is between 110 and 120
degree^.
5. Use an egg cleaning powder
—not soap.
6. Do not leave eggs in wash
er over 3 minutes (water can pen
etrate the egg shell if eggs are
left in water too long.)
7. Change water in washer of
ten—dingy or dirty water will not
produce a clean egg.
8. Dry eggs by air or by plac
ing in front of a large fan.
9. Place eggs in clear cartons
or cases as soon as eggs are dry
and place in cooler.
10. Keep egg cooler at 55 to
65 deerees and 70 to 80 per cent
humidity.
11. Leave several inches of air
space between stacks of egg cases.
Special Egg Study.
K. L. Swiney, Clemson College
Extension Poultryman, is working
on a special research project in
Newberry county. Swiney, on leave
from his duties as extension poul
tryman, is working towards his
masters degree in Poultry science
at Clemson college. Swiney is
checking eggs on the farm to de
termine how many eggs are being
cracked on the farm. He is mak
ing checks on these eggs again as
they arrive at the processing
.planfc*and following them through
until they are in consumer pack
age.
1963 Spring Planting Guide
It’s time to get Information card
No. 103, “1963 Spring Planting
Schedule”. This card gives latest
varieties of all major S. C. field
crops, along with other planting
information. Plant only recom
mended varieties! Much money
and time has gone into research
to determine what varieties are
best suitedbest suited for S. C.
Time To Fertilize
Spring! All of us are eagerly
looking to the coming of this sea
son. Some jobs that need doing
in connection with this season are:
Fertilizing grape vines 1 lb. 8-8-8
fertilizer. (Another 1 lb. after the
growth starts.)
Apply dormant spray of copper
sulfate (bluestone) to grapes now.
Fertilize pecan and fruit treer
now. Apply 3 lbs. fertilizer far
each inch in diameter of tree.
Finish pruning grape and fruit
trees, fertilize shade trees—well-
fed trees are less likely to suc
cumb to disease.
Take soil samples now! Use
these tests as a basis for applying
lime and fertilizer. Order planting
seed now. Use only recommended
varieties—contact your county ag
ent for list of recommended var
ieties.
