Georgia Hospital Day May 10
Baptist churches all over Georgia will observe the annual Mother’s
Day Offering for Georgia Baptist Hospital May 10. The offering goes
entirely toward the hospital's program of free and part-free service given
to needy patients from all over the state. Last year, the hospital rendered
more than $350,000 worth of such service.
A heart-warming testimony by 12-year-old Donald Patrick (above) of
Oglethorpe as to what the Hospital did for him helped launch plans for
promotion of the offering at a meeting in Atlanta. Donald is shown with
his pastor, J. C. Conoly (left) of the Whitewater Baptist Church, and
Louie D. Newton, pastor of Atlanta's Druid Hills Baptist Church and
chairman of the Georgia Baptist Hospital Commission.

THE UNITED STATES Con
stitution by both content and in
tent makes it clear beyond doubt
that one state cannot enjoy a
right or exercise a power denied
to another.
V | Paragraph 1,
| s/SlflfK'-V Section 2, Ar-
A 1 tide IV pro-
T j J vides that “the
if - ' ' citizens of
* *-• each state
Jtf'J' shall be en-
titled to all
*; Jg| privileges and
.iidSNiSJ immunities of
citizens in the several states”
and the Tenth Amendment of the
Bill of Rights reserves to the
states and the people all “powers
not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution nor prohibited
by it to the Slates.” Inasmuch as
control of education is one of
those powers which the Consti
tution neither delegated to the
Federal Government nor pro
hibited to the states, the obvious
sum of those two provisions is
that it was the intention of the
framers of tire Constitution to
vest all states with absolute con
trol over all matters relating to
education,

IN VOTING TO admit Hawaii
to statehood Congress empha
sized anew the ludicrous situation
in which it and the Supreme
Court have competed with each
other in seeking alternately to
grant and deny this already un
equivocally-reserved authority.
Section s(f) of the Hawaii Act
specifies that that state’s schools
“shall forever remain under the
exclusive control of said state,”
a provision which brings to an
even dozen the number of states
to which Congress has made
legislative grants of sole educa
tional jurisdiction since 1889. The j

Supreme Court decision of May
17, 1954, and subsequent rulings,
on the other hand, have denied 17
so-called Southern States that
same right.
All of which has divided the
constitutionally-equal states of
the Union into three unequal
classes—l 2 possessing exclusive
control over their public schools
by act of Congress. 17 denied ex
clusive control over their public
schools by decree of the Supreme
Court and 21 in the middle not
knowing where they stand.
* * *
THE ARGUMENT IS made
that the Congressional grants of
authority must give way to the
decrees of the Supreme Court.
That theory is convincingly chal
lenged by the constitutional facts
that it is Congress, not the Su
preme Court, which was specifi
cally authorized to implement tire
11th Amendment and that because
statehood acts must be ratified
by the residents of the territories
concerned they are in eCcct treat
ies between the United States and
the people of the territories con
cerned and, as such, hold status
under the Constitution as the
“supreme law of the land.”
It is the purpose of the con
stitutional amendment which
eight of my colleagues and I have
proposed to remedy this situation
by writing into the Constitution
an explicit guarantee of the right
of the states to perpetual and
exclusive control over their pub
lic school systems. In that way
the authority for local control of
education would become both the
express and the implied law of
the land.
