SOME CONDITIONS IN NEGRO l*
SCHOOLS "
- ?t
The State Department of Educfc- 1,1
tion through the division of School 'f
House Planning has presented a J11
picture of conditions which must
challenge the interest of every ?
thoughtfuL citizen interested in the ,:
general welfare of his state. As
it concerns the I^egro, it is simply ^
awful. The majority of the rural
schools have even in these times s,
home-made benches for the pupils |.f
to sit On and because of the large a,
numbers in the inadequate rooms, w
p?|ked thereon like sardines in a gc
survey shows also that 0i
?re art1 '601 schools without black . wl
iids. One must wonder just' wl
w much teaching a teacher ?.an u'
without black-boards, one of in
* most important equipment, of fh*
y sUch schools. As to distance . toi
>111 the schools,-the survey shows hti
it more whites live 'further a- l',J
y than colotvd pupils, but this i'?
due to'the consolidation of so ; no
my one-teacher schools. Hut an
; white pupils are transported | "U
buses. No attention is given j ll)|
the consolidation of Negro :!lJ
nools, and, of course, there must 1 'n*
less elliciency. Most Negro > l'
hools v are so situated that the V1
ijoiity of the pupils live more
an b miles from them but they I ^
ast trudge there, on foot in
ash, rain or snow. Then under ' '
use conditions, tluy must spend
uch time in trying to dry but at .
e. expense of the objOct of atnding
school. There, says the o,
port, is only ONE BUS in the ;v,
hole state for eoloied pupils. ?j'
Southern states do not .believe *,
egro pupils should have buses ,v]
uler any circumstances! A study
tins situation by a professor oi :r
ou'ard University,. Washington,. ii
. t.'., rshows tiiat 5 Southern w
ates, including South Carolina, v
and more money in ti unsporting t!
hite pupils than are spent for w
ic education of. their Negro citi- h;
ns.
According to conditions as disosud
liV-iiu! Planning Board, in- 'I
.ead of the annual report ot moil
.* spent lor Negro education, it
mid more acculately be denomi
ited "Money Wasted in a lies- 1'
ire of Training Negroes".
