'Jewish High School Students and Integration- SucZth PaHy"
ByDAVID SCHIFt '
students enrolled at
and Nofthside High
in Atlanta have accepted
historic integration of Negro
and girls With favorable
At least this is the conclusion
if'tfft’ opinions of fifteen boys
jOfld tirlr' interviewed are any
inoi cation. i
A senior at Grady feels that
"We Jews are in favor of inte
gration and have a great deal of
sympathy for the Negro because
of our past problems. By allow
ing Negroes to> attend better
schools which offer advanced
Subjects they could not have
Hken previously, their chances
of getting ahead in life are in
creased.”
" A junior girl at Northside be
lieves that the reason the Jewish
students are (more) in favor of
intargration is that “We seem to
empathize with the Negro;
recognizing the right of any
.minority group to equal educa
tional opportunities.”
,Ae feelings towards the Negro
students as individuals, varies
from passive acceptance to a
warm welcome. A Grady senior
says that “Though the Jewish
students as a group are very
friendly toward the Negro stud
ents, the Negroes’ welcome from
Jewish students is no greater
than that from any other group.”
A Northside senior girl finds her
new Negro classmates to be very
intelligent and friendly. She feels
that if other students have the
opportunity to express friendship
they will, but are afraid of be
ing conspicuous; afraid of poss
ible ostracism.
“Most of the Jewish students
at Grady have a high opinion of
the Negro students,” states an
other Grady senior.
Of the students interviewed,
nearly all believed that if any
violence were to break out, they
and their friends would come to
the aid of the Negro students or
any student supporting the Neg
ro’s right to attend classes. This
attitude has been expressed by
Jewish students, in open discus
sion.
A large number of students re
ceived a letter from Separate
Schools Incorporated, requesting

them to boycott the integrated
schools. This plea was laughed
at, considered “ridiculous,” “Mis
erable,” “terrible” and even
"communist inspired.” It is seri
ously doubted by all students
interviewed that any Jewish stu
dent would participate in any
boycott movement.
There were several organized
meetings which Jewish students
attended. The meetings fall into
two categories: at some the
students organized and led the
discussion; at others adults pre
sided. Of the two, the students
feel that more was achieved at
the “students only” meetings.
Few Jewish students credited
religious training and doctrines
as a basis for formulating their
ideas on the subject. It is inter
esting to note that of the ones
claiming this as their basis the
individual (and sometimes pa
rental) interpretation did not re
sult in the same conclusion.

Carols, Hanukah
Songs in School
Upheld in NJ.
TRENTON, N.J., (JTA) t-The
daily recitation of grace before
eating and the singing of Christ
mas carols and Hanukah songs
in New Jersey public schools
were upheld last weekend by
State Education Commission^
Frederick M. Raubinger, who
dismissed an appeal agaihst thesk
practices filed by parents of two
Freehold school children.
The petitioners, Mr. and Mrs.
John J. Gould, who were raised
in the Jewish faith but said they
were agnostics, had sought to
have the practices stopped on the
ground they were illegal and Un
constitutional. Mrs. Gould said
they purposely did not mentibn
the fact that they were Jewish
in the petition “because we are
not influenced by any Jewish
philosophy in this action.”
The grace recited before milk
breaks in the New Jersey senoeb
consists of Psalm 136 of the Old
Testament while various Christ
mas carols and the Jewish Hallel
festival prayer are chanted Iff-
fore Christmas and Hanukah re
spectively. In repecting the peti
tion by Mr. and Mrs. Goultf,
Commissioner Raubinger said
that the passage recited as grace
was “part of our national culture
and heritage” and that the carols
and Hanukah songs were nece*-
sary “to properly develop the
social growth of the individual
pupils.”
