~ PROFESSOR ANDREW -
SIMMONS
' Pro feepor Andrew -Simmons,
principal of Booktr Washington
~ h1gtr~^choofr -was- guest?speaker
for the class in School Administra
tron last Thursday inuining.?On?thing
most noticeable about this
eminent school man is that he is
a practic .1 teacher who knows
how to relate theory to life situa
tions thus making learning practi
?.... cal and something to be used after
school.
Professor Simmons built his ree
4tation around whatsis being done
to make Booker Washington school
a great asset of this community
He submitted much "home-made''
material, showing just how the
curriculum of a high school may
t .! , rn ii In.,) JIH.I mtfln mftro fhnri
just a mere program of studies
Professor Simmons' philosophy is
that he teaches ~ people and not
books. In this he stands in the
class with our scholars of mod
crn trends in education. ?
HENRY FORD'S 7~
Mnnpi)\ ITTOPTA
One of the noblest contribution?
of Henry Ford, the world's great
est industrialist, has been the re
habitation of the lives in the
Ways, Ga. community where hr
has attempted to establish a mod
el Utonia. :?:?: 7?? ?
I. C. Chpnn, staff correspondcnt
for The Pittsburgh -Courier
has spent sometime~jn the Ford's
community, on his 86,000 aero
farm where almost all of the raw
material for the Ford car i ?
grown; he visited the schools
built by Mr. Ford, and saw the
new building being erected for th<700
Negroes and whites who live
without a race problem in this
ideal community. The race proV
lem has been erased.
- In his story last week for the
Courier Mr. Chunn said:
- jyinrrrying?oilt^ his philosophy^
that one group of the population
- cannot be prosperous and enjoy a
better life unless all groups share
in the general economy, Mr. Fore
has esl&RMUfH'll U laifci ImiU
school here* -for the Negro community
in which the students arc
taught the same academic and v0*
cational trades as the whites.
The school has been named after
Dr. George Washington Car
vtr, famed Tuskegee scientist
whom Hr Ford calls the greatest
, living scientist.
Here no an 86,000 acre track df
lanti Mr. Ford is conducting an
experiment in embining the agrrculture
and industrjiil life of the
community into a richer economy
for the entire population and th.'
results have been highly satisfac
L_ tnryllv. ~
In this small community lives
700 white and colored people, in
|. complete harmony. Every family
' bea4 i* employed at a- decent Uv|*
' " 'r" ^tge on the farms of at some
skilled trade. J. F .Gregory, farm
t manager, says he is not bothered
with a race -problem heeause all
the people are neighbors?
Mr, Ford hair always jdonlt fair
!v 'y with Negroes and this is not
only shown on the farm but at
flip Detroit plant where more Ne
, aawww??we
gr0 workers are employed than
any other automobile factory in
America.
Students in the trade school are
given elementary courses and
training in carpentry, masonry
slice metal fabrication, machinery
cabinet makmg and modern meth
oils of farming.
Students come not only (from
the farms,but the entire, surrount'
ing community and they are~patd
salaries while studying that range
"torn twenty-five cents to $1 a.
'.our. ? ?-~--?
The social life of the colore.!
ommunity is. centered around th?
school and a church -where all de
"dminations worship. The conv
nunitv is self-sustaining; and pre
vides for every need of the penpie.
OUR BASIS OF FREEDON
Hy?Dr. Charles Stelslo
:rt^fh~rTtTese'<T)efitoirs" times when
onntry-aftar coimtrv is being ta:ei:
over by enemies from within
nd without, it should inspire A lericans
to recall the basis o f
heir freedom The first three
ords of the' Constitution?"we
he people"?deelare by what. ?Uharxty
the. United States (if Auerica
is ruled. The Constitu-ion_
nojt only prescribes the kind
f government which shall hold
he -United States together, but
t limits and defines the powers
f the government itself, making
he people's liberties secure aainst
oppression fYoni every
icurce. J
The first ten amendments t o
he Constitution are known as the
till of Rights. It is the purpose
f the Bill of Rights to restrict
lational power, so that these
ights should not be taken.away
'rom the people. Their main
rurpose is to give "the' people auhority
to maintain their natural
i.chts. Certain restrictions are
ilaced upon citizens for various
easons, especially in some States
nit in no case may the Federal
government establish such
t+ietions merely upon the basis
-?#- color, and, by another amendnent,
State governments are simlarly
j'estrained. *
The Bill of Rights includes
mch principles as freedon of religion,
freedom of speech, freelom
of the press, the right of the
teople to peaceably assemble, and
.he right to petition the Governnent^for
a redress of grievances;
he right of the people to be selers,
and effects, and against uneasonable
searches and seizures.
- Jefferson and Franklin heaved
such rights "came from the
Veator and that thev arp derived
'rom the laws of the universe ithas
been crushed is that belief
mtlawed. This desire for freedom
's inherent in man. Patrick Heny's
declaration "Give me liberty
>r eive me death" finds an echo
n every true man's heart. It is
his for which America made its
iupreme fight in its beginning.
* "hnd it is for this that the people
vili continue-to fight-^mtil -they
hall achieve that freedom which
vil 1 give them the fuller li|e.4bey
" lesire, the hunger for which is_
planted in every-man's heart by
. he. Creator.
