Look To Tomorrow, Teachers
Warned By Tuskegee President
The president of uskegee Institute
told Macon County teachers recently 
that "it is time to give
as much importance to developing
the mind to envision what is going
to happen, tomorrow as it is cramnung 
the mind with information
which is known, today.'
Dr. L. H. Foster described the
significant role of the teacher
in today's society to shape the nation's 
future through educating tomorrow's 
leaders. He stated that
Macon County teachers, because
thy work with many disadvantaged 
children, "have an additional
challenge to use bold and imaginative 
methods and to become al
most 
totally involved in the lives
of young people to prepare them
for leadership roles.'
The Tuskegee president made
these remarks at a recent meeting
of the Macon County Teachers Association 
Who gathered to discuss
the theme, "Tomorrow's Leaders
Challenge Today's Teachers.'
Dr. Foster told the teachers that
often, a young student "has little
knowledge of what the present-day
world has to offer him — to say
nothing of understanding the future." 
He urged school counselors to
rid themselves "of traditional
thinking about past patterns of
vocational choice for certain groups

of our society.'
Although the development of
professional proficiency is important 
in the learning process to provide 
a base on which the youth,
can build his career, Dr. Foster
urged his audience to keep in mind
that "one key element of leadership 
is a flexible response to the
changes in society which are necessarily 
a part of progres.'
In the complex, technological society 
of tomorrow, man will need
not only an analytical mind, said
Dr. Foster, "but a humanely based
conception of the worth of each
individual so there will not be a
widespread sense of alienation and
isolation."

Filibuster Vote, "Kick In
The Teeth," Wilkins Says
The Senate's refusal 
Tuesday, Jan. 24, to permit a
vote on a motion to bring about
a change in the anti - filibuster
rule represents "a victory for standpatism 
within that body," said Roy
Wilkins, executive director of the
National Association for the Advancement 
of Colored People.
Mr. Wilkins, who sat in the Senate 
gallery and witnessed the 53 to
46 defeat of the cloture petition,
told newsmen that "while the rest
of the country moves ahead, the
Senate stands still facing backward." 

He said defeat of the anti - filibuster 
resolution, which would have
reduced the majority needed for
cloture from two - thirds to threefifths 
of those present and voting,
was "a kick in the teeth to possible 
civil rights and other progressive 
legislation coming before
the Congress in the future."
The filibuster rule, in the past,
has been used to block civil rights
legislation.
Defeat of the bipartisan, drive to
make it easier to break a filibuster,

Mr. Wilkins said, "alas extremists
who will cite the vote as illustrating
the futility of working through es
tablished 
channels to gain improvements 
in the civil rights area."

Atlanta U. Is
Born In Church
In the year 1865, the year of "The
Surrender" at Appomattax, two
mighty impulses began their work
for the education of the newly
emancipated freedmen in Atlanta.
One impulse was from within, the
desire of the freedmen themselves
to acquire learning. The other was
from without, the effective help
of friends in the North who were
interasted in their welfare.
The pioneer missionary to Atlanta 
was Reverend Frederick Ayer,
who came with Mrs. Ayer from
Belle Frairie, Minnesota. Mr. and
Mrs. Ayer reached Atlanta on Nov.
15. 1865. Three weeks later they
Were joined by two young women
Sisters, the Misses Rosa and Lucy
C. Kinnay. The conditions which
they found were these:
In an old church building on
Jenkins Street, now Armstrong, not
far from the present City Auditorium 
was a small private school
which had been opened by James
Tate and Granlison B. Daniels, two
ex-slaves. This was the first school
in Atlanta for colored children.
In another part of the city, about
Four blocks west of the Carnegie
Library, fronting north toward
Ellis Street, was a railroad car
Which had just been purchased at
Chattanooga by the Association for

$310 and brought to Atlanta to
serve as a school.
In these two places, far from
ideal but the best that could be
obtained, the work began. Mr. Ayer
and Miss Lucy Kinney at the Jenkins 
Street School, and Mrs. Ayer
and Miss Rosa Kinney taught at
the Walton Springs School, popularly 
known as the Car-Box."
But the ideals of these early
workers could not be satisfied with
this alone. They felt that the best
possible was none too good for the
new citizenry of Atlanta and of
Georgia. And so a charter was asked 
from the Superior Court of Fulton 
County in which Atlanta is
located for a University. It was
signed by eleven men, some white,
some colored, in part residents of
Atlanta, in part officers of the
American Missionary Association.
Two of the names were those of
Edumund Asa Ware and Frederick
Ayer, and a third, Erastus M. Cravath, 
became later the president
of a sister school, Fisk University
This petition was approved and
the new corporation, The Trustees
of the Atlanta University, came into
existence October 16. 1867.
Today, the latest catalog of Atlanta 
University lists five schools
with various programs for candidates 
for the Master's Degree: Arts
and Sciences, Social Work, Business
Administration, Education, and Library 
Service. All programs of the
schools are fully accredited. It lists
a faculty of 53 full-time and 14
part-time teachers, 33 of the fulltime 
ones holding the Ph.D. Degree. 
It describes a full schedule of
cultural events, a library, art collection, 
and laboratories. It cites
publication of Phylon, the nation's
leading journal on race and cul
ture. 

In the Annual Report of the
President of the University, 1982
Dr. Rufus E. Clement wrote:
"The people who were educated
at Atlanta University have made
substantial contributions in many
fields of American life. They have
been leaders in education and religion; 
they have served their fellowmen 
in law, medicine, dentistry.
business and government; they have
been nationally recognized spokesmen 
pleading and working for extension 
of full democracy to every
American citizen, they have gone
out into rural areas of our Southland 
to teach and to inspire the
rising generation; they moved into
depressed areas of our cities as
angels of mercy and of light carrying 
the gospel of the good life and
ministering to the needs of the
troubled and dispossessed. On national 
platforms, under the hard
white glare of the spotlights, they
have rendered a service to the nation 
by calling attention to the conditions 
under which many of its
citizens had to live and at the same
time have interpreted the hopes
and aspirations of a large minority 
group in its population. They
have walked quietly and humbly
in unpublicized paths of dignity
and service to improve the literacy.
skills, living conditions, behavior
and attitudes of their fellowmen.
All of this and more can be seen
in the record of the achievements
of those who have been educated
in Atlanta University,"
Among the names which stand
high among the graduates of the
University are James Wendell Johnson, 
author, Walter F. White, author, 
Richard R. Wright, educator
and banker, and Lucy Laney, educator.

Dual School System Doomed
By Court Order – Wilkins
A Federal court
edict which last year ordered Seven
Louisiana and Alabama school systems 
to integrate by the 1967-68
school year represents "a long step
toward abolition of the dual system," 
according to NAACP Executive 
Director Roy Wilkins.
The landmark decision handed
down last Dec. 29 by Judge Minor
Wisdom of the Fifth U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, Mr. Wilkins said,
"ranges over the whole question of
desegregation of schools; the importance 
of good schooling to Negro 
people, and the functions of
the dual school system in the whole
system of segregation."
Mr. Wilkins made his remarks
during an appearance on a radio
program with U. S. Education, Commissioner 
Harold Howe. The program 
was pre-taped for broadcast 
Feb. 12 by NAACP branches in
120 cities in connection with the
organization's 158th anniversary
celebration of Abraham Lincoln's
birth date and of the 58th anniversary 
of the founding of the
NAACP.
The Appeals court ruled that theintegration 
guidelines set by the
U. S. Department of Health, Education 
and Welfare must be closely 
followed by all- districts in the
states covered by the decision.
"The clock has ticked the last
tick for tokenism and delay in the
name of 'deliberate speed,' the
court declared.
Commissioner Howe said the 57page 
opinion written by Judge Wisdom 
"provides a great deal of support 
for the policies we have been
pursuing in the Office of Education
in bringing about further desegregation 
of the schools in the South."
The 2 to 1 decision, Mr. Howe
said, "addresses itself to legal support 
of the guidelines we have promulgated 
for the desegregation
of the schools as well as to legal
support of various particular element 
of those guidelines in which
we are interested."


Some
500 local physicians are expected to
attend a day-long symposium on
"The Fragile Fetus" next Wednesday 
at the Sheraton Park hotel.
The program is being presented by
the Department of Obsterics and
Gynecology of Howard University's
College of Medicine as a part of
the University's year-long observance 
of its 100th anniversary. Lederle 
Laboratories a division of
the Ameriecan Cyanamid Company,
will co-sponsor the program.
Wednesday's symposium will be
open to all physicians in the Washington 
area, according to Dr. John
F. Clark, head of the Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology. There
will be no charge for admission.
Dr. Clark said, although, those
planning to attend are asked to
regfister beginning at 9:00 a. m.
The program begins at 10:00 in
the hotel's North Cotillion room.
Three papers will be presented
during the morning session. Dr.
Charles Hendricks professor of
anesthesia at Western Reserve University, 
Cleveland, will speak on
"Contractility Patterns and Fetal
Survival;" Dr. Edward Qutlligan,
professor and chairman of the Department 
of Obstetrics and Gyne
cology 
at Yale University, will
speak on 'Electrocardiographic and
Acid Base Changes During Labor
in the Fragile Fetus," and Dr.
Frank Greiss, associate professor
of obstetrics and gynecology at the
Bowman Gray School of Medicine,
Winston-Salem, N. C., will speak
on "Uterine Circulation in the
Fragile Fetus."
At a noon luncheon scheduled
for the South Cotillion room, Dr.
Beverly T. Mead, professor and
chairman of the Department of
Psychiatry, School of Medicine,
Creighton University, Omaha, Neb.,
will address the group. The subject 
of Dr. Mead's remarks will be
"The Battle of the Sexes."
Three papers are scheduled for
the afternoon session, beginning at
2.00 p.m., followed by a panel discussion. 
"The Effects of Obstetrical 
Anesthesia on the Unborn
Child" will be the subject of a

and chairman of the Department 
of Anesthesia, Western Reserve 
University. Dr. Leonard Stan
ley. James, member of the Department

According to Dr. Clark, the subject 
of Wednesday's, symposium is
one of the most significant in obstetries 
and gynecology today. The
fragile fetus is one whose mother
has sufered from one or more of
a variety o disease during the prenatal 
period, he said. The symposium 
is designed to explain the
plight o such a fetus and methods
of providing adequate medical care
for such infants.


As long
ago as 1943 — some 11 years before 
the U.S. Supreme Court struck
down school segregation — the National 
Education Association adopted 
a policy of meeting only in
cities that provided NEA delegates
with equal accommodations regardles 
of race.
This and several other examples
describing the NEA's "fight for
civil rights" are contained in an
article in February's issue of the
NEA JOURNAL, official NEA publication. 

Presented as the JOURNAL's
recognition of Negro History Week
(February 12-18), the article points
out that "NEA conventions have
always served as a forum where
speakers of all races have found
a platform.' The celebrated Negro
leader, Booker T. Washington, to
cite one of numerous examples, was
a featured speaker at NEA conventions 
in 1884 and 1904.
As a matter of fact, in 1857, the
year the nation's highest court
ruled that Dred Scott was a prop
erty, 
Robert Campbell, another Negro, 
became a charter member of
the National Teachers Association
— forerunner of the NEA, the article 
notes;
Numerous other examples of
NEA's fight for equal opportunity
are cited in the article including
the employment of staff at NEA
here on a non - discriminatory
basis well before the nation's capital 
as a City was integrated.
