Adult Education Needs Re-Emphasis
Dr Ambrose Caliver and Mrs. Anna Hedgeman threw
out provocative thoughts last week for those who would plan
for the needs of our communities.
The two government specialists, speaking at the Eighth
Annual Conference on Adult Education at Morehouse College, 
advocated that community leadership be recruited
largely from the ranks of working people, rather than from
among the professional classes.
Mrs. Hedgeman, assistant Administrator, Federal Security 
Agency, said that community planning. groups should
be built around barbers, beauticians, school teachers of all
levels from the elementary through the college, and "with
just a few ministers." She placed most of her emphasis on
the first two groups, explaining that they come into contact
with all classes and, age groups, and she limited the ministers 
because there should not be "too much weight of authority" 
that their positions carry.
Dr. Caliver, senior specialist, U. S. Office of Education,
who has recently had valuable experience dealing with reeducation 
of displaced European people, suggested that
"housewives and mechanics" and others qualified by experience 
rather than by education alone, should be utilized
as teachers even in our colleges.
What the two experts were getting at was the need to
make our planning for everyday living more practical and
less theoretical. They pointed out that an unlettered man
could contribute valuable information to college students,
and there should be a place on the faculty for him.
This, it was pointed out would naturally call for a revamping 
of the attitudes of students and professors toward
those who have not been exposed to a college "education."
Their "education" would have been the valuable one of experience. 

In planning for community needs, in getting favorable
public response to programs of health, housing, recreation,
delinquency, and other problems of our times, the adult
population must be "educated" to understand the problems
and must be "educated" to do something about the problems.
This is true of getting people to register and vote, in getting 
them to take mass health exams, or to see their role
in the fight for a real democracy in America.
In order to receive the real support of people, they must
help do the planning, contribute their ideas to the solutions,
and shoulder the responsibility for carrying out the program. 

Whether in the classroom for adults, or in the community, 
adult education must be made more practical by
changing from an academic approach to a "down-to-earth"
approach.
Those were strange words, but emphatically true, coming 
from within the staid walls of a college last week.

Highlights At Manassas
The senior class of Manassas presented 
"An Old Fashioned Charm,"

Auditorium. The play was of a completely 
different type from the
plays previously presented in that
it was a musical comedy and of
higher class The crowd was scant
but those who saw it Were completely 
satisfied with an evening
well spent. Some even thought that
the play should be repeated so
that more people would be given a
chance to see it. but efforts to
have a repeal performance failed.

Home Loan

8. VA is authorized and directed
to issue regulations limiting the
fees and other charges which may
be made against builders and veterans 
in connection with the construc
tion and sale of homes finance
through GI loans.
9. The Federal National Mortgage
Association, a Government agency
commonly known as "Fanny May",
is given $250,000,000 in addition
authority for the purchase of GI
and FHA loans made by private
lending agencies. This must be
used for current purchases only
and is not subject to earmarking in
the form of commitments for future 
purchases.
10 Provisions are included
make GI loans for farm dwellings
easier to obtain, and farm loans are
granted equality with other home
loans with respect to eligibity for
purchase by Fanny May.
Through last March. Just under
two million veterans had Been grant
ed GI loans for home, farm or busi
ness purposes. Loans approved totaled 
1 818,00 for homes, 55,000 for
farms and 118.000 for businesses.
The original face amount of all
loans approved reached about $10,
769,000,000.
VA again reminded veterans that
they face no early deadline in co
nection with their loan guaranty
rights. Their entitlement to a
guaranteed loan remains available
until July 25. 1957.

CME General

silence is but "a calm that precedes 
a storm" Others claim that
candidates are "waiting to see" so
as to get the "lay of the land be
fore 
they act. The present siutaion 
has caused a calm that is as
astounding as it is unusual before
a CME General Conference election. 
Things generally are much
quieter than they have been at any
time proceeding a CME General
Conference in the past 40years.
"You can't tell what may happen
at the Kansas City session of the
General Conference," said one CME
leader here Friday afternoon.
Generally it is believed that the
position that is taken by Bishop R
A Carter will largely determine
what course the General Confer-,
ence delegation will take regard
ing the election of Bishops. This is
true, not only with regard to the
number, but likewise who is to get
support of a large part of the
church. Bishop Carter has pursued
a noncommital position regarding
the matter of who and what.
His unexpressed thoughts have left
many in doubt as to how many
Bishops the CME General Conferene 
may be asked to elected. The
big question is: "Whom will Bish
op Carter stand back of" for Bis
hops. The group which Bishop Car
ter backed at the last General Con
ference won out by a handsome
majority. Bishop Carter was admitted 
to be leader of the winning,
group at St. Louis in May, 1946.
Bishop Hamlett was the leader of
the group which won at Hot
Springs, Arkansas in 1938 when
Bishop W. Y. Bell and the late C
L. Russell were elected. Bishop
Carter led the forces for election
at St. Louis four years ago when
Bishops Luther Stewart, F. L. Lewis
and the late Bishop R. L. Young
wer'e elected.
Just a week prior to the setting
of the CME General Conference at
Kansas City, there are several can
dictates for the Bishopric of the
Colored M. E. Church. Strangely,
two of the States where the C. M.
E Church is strongest, don't hive
candidates for Bishops: Alabama
and Mississippi. This fact, it is
said, may aid those candidates in
these two States for other general
positions in the church. Alabama
has one candidate for a general
office; Dr S. J. Mashaw, Birming
ham presiding elder, who is a can
didate for the Superannuated
Preachers position, presently held
by Dr. J. B. Boyd, Memphis. Another 
departmental candidate in
this field is Dr. J. L. Tolbert, a
Mississippian, who was named sec
retary of Evangelism by the 1949
General Board at Detroit to succeed 
the late Dr. J, M. Reed. Another 
Mississippi candidate is Rev
C. Thomas, who seeks the Superannuated 
Preachers department held at
the present by Dr. Boyd.
The race for General Officers at
the approaching CME General Con
ference is expected to be quite
sharp Many of the delegates will
follow their own minds, despite the
fact that certain of the Bishops of
the denomination have heretofore
been quite active in this respect.
Numerous ones of the delegates say
that, they will do what they, them
selves, think and will use their independence 
in a distinct way. We'd
better break with the put as we
approach the 1950 mark, "say some
of the delegates. "We've follower
too much and too long already.
That's not what we were elected to
do—and we are not going to do it
this time."
It is known that several of the
CME Bishops are against electing
anyone to the Bishopric at the
Kansas City General Conference
II is said tht there are but three of
the Bishops of the church who
really want election of Bishops at
Kansas city. They have the advan
tage of the candidates and their
friends on their side. This group is
expected to win out at Kansas City
during the General Conference voting 
to determine whether there
shall be an election—and now many
new Bishops the CME Church acually 
needs to carry on its work.
There is a wide field of candidates 
for the Bishopric, according
to leaders of the church. There is
also a wide field of candidates- for
the numerous General Offices that
are to be filled at the approaching
General Conference. The list of
candidates for the Bishopric is said
to consist 6f the following person:
Rev. B. J. Smith. Chicago; Rev
Bertram W. Doyle. Louisville; Rev
A. W Womack. Dayton. Ohio; Rev
H W Evans, Chicago; Rev. E. P.
Murchison, Chicago; Rev C. E.

There is some discussion of uniting

Two or three other departments
have received small discussion for

candidates are "waiting to see" so

has caused a calm that is as
astounding as it is unusual before
a CME General Conference election. 
Things generally are much
quieter than they have been at any
time proceeding a CME General
Conference in the past 40years.
"You can't tell what may happen
at the Kansas City session of the
General Conference," said one CME
leader here Friday afternoon.
Generally it is believed that the
position that is taken by Bishop R
A Carter will largely determine
what course the General Confer-,
ence delegation will take regard
ing the election of Bishops. This is
true, not only with regard to the
number, but likewise who is to get
support of a large part of the
church. Bishop Carter has pursued
a noncommital position regarding
the matter of who and what.
His unexpressed thoughts have left
many in doubt as to how many
Bishops the CME General Conferene 
may be asked to elected. The
big question is: "Whom will Bish
op Carter stand back of" for Bis
hops. The group which Bishop Car
ter backed at the last General Con
ference won out by a handsome
majority. Bishop Carter was admitted 
to be leader of the winning,
group at St. Louis in May, 1946.
Bishop Hamlett was the leader of
the group which won at Hot
Springs, Arkansas in 1938 when
Bishop W. Y. Bell and the late C
L. Russell were elected. Bishop
Carter led the forces for election
at St. Louis four years ago when
Bishops Luther Stewart, F. L. Lewis
and the late Bishop R. L. Young
wer'e elected.
Just a week prior to the setting
of the CME General Conference at
Kansas City, there are several can
dictates for the Bishopric of the
Colored M. E. Church. Strangely,
two of the States where the C. M.
E Church is strongest, don't hive
candidates for Bishops: Alabama
and Mississippi. This fact, it is
said, may aid those candidates in
these two States for other general
positions in the church. Alabama
has one candidate for a general
office; Dr S. J. Mashaw, Birming
ham presiding elder, who is a can
didate for the Superannuated
Preachers position, presently held
by Dr. J. B. Boyd, Memphis. Another 
departmental candidate in
this field is Dr. J. L. Tolbert, a
Mississippian, who was named sec
retary of Evangelism by the 1949
General Board at Detroit to succeed 
the late Dr. J, M. Reed. Another 
Mississippi candidate is Rev
C. Thomas, who seeks the Superannuated 
Preachers department held at
the present by Dr. Boyd.
The race for General Officers at
the approaching CME General Con
ference is expected to be quite
sharp Many of the delegates will
follow their own minds, despite the
fact that certain of the Bishops of
the denomination have heretofore
been quite active in this respect.
Numerous ones of the delegates say
that, they will do what they, them
selves, think and will use their independence 
in a distinct way. We'd
better break with the put as we
approach the 1950 mark, "say some
of the delegates. "We've follower
too much and too long already.
That's not what we were elected to
do—and we are not going to do it
this time."
It is known that several of the
CME Bishops are against electing
anyone to the Bishopric at the
Kansas City General Conference
II is said tht there are but three of
the Bishops of the church who
really want election of Bishops at
Kansas city. They have the advan
tage of the candidates and their
friends on their side. This group is
expected to win out at Kansas City
during the General Conference voting 
to determine whether there
shall be an election—and now many
new Bishops the CME Church acually 
needs to carry on its work.
There is a wide field of candidates 
for the Bishopric, according
to leaders of the church. There is
also a wide field of candidates- for
the numerous General Offices that
are to be filled at the approaching
General Conference. The list of
candidates for the Bishopric is said
to consist 6f the following person:
Rev. B. J. Smith. Chicago; Rev
Bertram W. Doyle. Louisville; Rev
A. W Womack. Dayton. Ohio; Rev

REVIEWING
THE
NEWS
BY WILLIAM GORDON
A well organized program with the proper machinery to
promote a campaign for adult education in the deep South
should demand the attention of all people interested in the
full development of a democratic community. Without the
total educational improvement and development of the total
populace of a community, social and economic advancement
is hound to run head on into a social lag.
Leaders of the recent Adult Edushould 
be congratulated for their
attempt to find a solution for
better educational facilities for
adults. These schools have been organized 
on a specialized basis so
that people who are already engaged
in certain occupations might take
refresher courses in order to sharpen 
themselves for better efficiency.
A large segment of adults have
availed themselves for this educational 
service. In other cases, how
ever, others have gone along with
out interest and of course later these
are the people to become a burden
on society.
To encourage adult education
courses in the community is to
make a most constructive contribution 
to the development of citizenship. 
This can be constructively
done through churches, c l u b s,
schools, colleges and the newspapers.
The newspapers can be a most commanding 
force in helping to shape
public opinion in this respect. Newspapers 
themselves can promote
courses in adult education and make
themselves more highly significant
in the community.
In regard to the promotion of
greater educational opportunity, the
Negro press should be congratulated. 

The solid importance of the agency 
lies not In its hard-hitting editorial 
attacks alone, but in the fact
that it has long provided a vast plat
form for Negro leadership, and is a
most fundamental instrument for
public education.
Aside from being edited by ordinary 
men and women, It keeps the
Negro public well informed. First
of all it takes into consideration the
implications and meanings of events
in terms of their efforts upon the
community.
More adult education for Negroes
cannot be over emphasized. The
fact that many of us have long been
subjected to inferior educational
facilities along with competitive job
opportunities, should be proof enough 
for this vastly needed program. 

While we tight for more opportunities 
In the field of educational in
general, better housing, hospitalization 
for advanced health facilities,
we should also fight for more education 
for adults. Society cannot
move forward without an overall
educational program to meet the
needs of the entire community.

fact that many of us have long been
subjected to inferior educational
facilities along with competitive job
opportunities, should be proof enough 
for this vastly needed program. 

While we tight for more opportunities 
In the field of educational in
general, better housing, hospitalization 
for advanced health facilities,
we should also fight for more education 
for adults. Society cannot
move forward without an overall
educational program to meet the
needs of the entire community.

ed out that resolutions of disapproval 
of plans No. l and No. 12
have been reported by his committee, 
and he suggested that one be
voted on one day and the other
the next day.
Senator Lucas, however, objected 
to firing a date until after the
Democratic Policy Committee had
discussed the matter.
If no satisfactory arrangement is
worked out for voting on the resolution,. 
Senator McClellan implied
that twenty-one resolutions of disapproval 
of reorganization plans
may be filed. Inasmuch as they are
privileged matters, they could be
called up one at a time "and we
could continue on them indefinite
ly." said Senator McClelland.
If that were done, the resolutions 
of disapproval would furnish
a vehicle for an effective fillibuster
against FEPC. On the other hand,
there were suspicions that Senator
Lucas was planning to use FEPC
as a means of delaying votes on the
resolutions of disapproval until after 
the time for Congressional action 
on them had expired.
Once FEPC is taken up, it can be
set aside only by a majority vote.
In the discussion of entering into 
a unanimous consent agreement
to vote on ECA, Senator Lucas
complained that he could always
get consent from Democratic Senators 
on such requests. but there
always objections fom Republicans.
This remark brought from Senator 
Kenneth S. Wherry, of Nee
braska, the Minority Leader, the
rejoinder that it was a "wonderful
thing" that at long last then was
something on which the Democrats
can be unanimous.
"I wish they could be the unanimous

the Nebraskan said, "Them
we would not somewhere with the
legislative program."
