It is now virtually official that
President Eisenhower will be a
candidate for a second term.
Personally, we are getting awfully
tired of writing these paragraphs
and we can imagine what
readers think.
A whole generation has grown
up since the last Model T automo
bile rolled off the assembly line.
That car represented cheap trans
portation and even in its most
glorified form rarely nicked the
purchaser for $1,000.

The Dependence of Youth
Through school youth thinks
little of its welfare, having some
one to look after their interest.
Few in high school or graduates
ever think that the time will come
when they must look after them
selves, and how well depends on
selves. If while young thei r habits
have been worth, their outlook is
most favorable. A fair, successful
life is ahead of them. This outlook
can be easily marred, even de

This sad story is told by Dr.

The modern new school build

including Butler from the Tennes
see border to the Florida line are
something more than just a phe
nomena of local interest.
The two very large local build
ings, one for white children, the
other for colored, are expected to
be ready for occupancy within the
next few months.
The state’s school building pro
gram, as Gov. Talmadge said just
before leaving office, “has at

and even from as far away as
Alaska.”
The State Department of Edu

up the progress made in school
building since 1951, it said:
1. Since the State School Biuld-
ing Authority was created in 1951,
200 new school projects have been
built in the state, and another 360
are under construction.
2. The authority, in its determi
nation to spend money where it
is most needed, is allotting 54 per
cent of its funds to Negro schools.
Only one third of the state’s stu
dents are Negroes.
