The Augusta INews-Keview, February 1, lvjo - A - ! rs-L with 1 'A< ; (BA I I |IM A) Gwen \ I LI I Loftlin “What Happened To Our Educators?” i wonder what Booker T. Washington and Mary McLeod Bethune would think of our modern day educators. The desire to teach seems to have been lost in petty political games for power. It seems to be more of what can be gotten out of our school system instead of what can be put into it. The Teaching Profession has never been the highest paid, but more people are taking it up and spending the rest of their lives complaining instead of teaching. It is almost inconceivable of the number of individuals allowed to enter this profession every year who are not qualified, passing on ignorance generation after generation. What qualifies one to teach? I would think one who has the ability to deal with various situations as they arise, one who has an awareness of the changes around him daily, who has strong convictions in what he has chosen to do and upholds them, and most of all, loves learning for the sake of learning and not the paycheck at the end of the month. We have more Masters Degrees floating around our Black schools, but you’d never know it. If the knowledge acquired in the achievement of this degree is not used, the years spent in attaining it is like water over the dam. Black educators have a greater task than do White educators. We have more to do with and less to work with. If we began today, it would be another sixteen years before we were able to see a marked improvement in our college graduates. I consider that an excellent long term investment. One five year old child sixteen years from now would have something to be proud of and something to identify with - himself - can you deal with that? I’d like to share with you one of Plato’s dialogues entitled “Laws.” This excerpt is between an Athenian stranger and Cleinias, a Cretan. Athenian - Well, then if I tell you what are my notions of education, will you consider whether they satisfy you? Cleinias - Let us hear. Athenian - According to my view, anyone who would be good at anything must practice that thing from his youth upwards, both in sport and earnest, in its several branches; for example, he who is to be a good builder, should play at building children’s houses; he who is to be a good husbandman, at tilling the ground; and those who have the care of their education should provide them when young with mimic tools. They should learn beforehand the knowledge which they will afterwards require for their art. For example, the future carpenter should learn to measure or apply the line in play; and the future warrior should learn riding, or some other exercise, for amusement, and the teacher should endeavour to direct the children’s inclinations and pleasures, by the help of amusements, to their final aim in life. The most important part of education is right training in the nursery. The soul of the child in his play should be guided to the love of that sort of excellence in which when he grows up to manhood he will have to be perfected. Do you agree with me thus far? Cleinias - Certainly. Miss Norman - Cont. from P. 1 album was a finalround nominee in the Montreux International Record Award competition. a Mahler -Schubert recital has been released by Phillips, too, and a Wagner-Schubert-Poulenc disk on Odeon. Inevitably, the pressures are building up. People want me to sing ‘Nabucco’ and the other big Verdi things but I say no. I’ve done Aida a dozen times now, but no more for a while. Verdi is more difficult for my voice than the sustained tones of Wagner. I could get away with singing Sieglinde twice a week, maybe, but Aido no. First of all, it’s typecasting. People look at me and say, Aida. But more important, I want to sing what’s comfortable for my voice. Some people even encourage me to turn mezzo-soprano. But that’s crazy. That’s a whole different sound. I’m going to do a lot of Mozart now and a lot of recitals because I don’t want to wreck anything. If I had to guess, I’d say that maybe in 15 years, I’ll be singing more Wagner than anything else. I like that kind of sustained tone. Strauss will come, too. By the time I’m 35, I’d like to do the Marschalin. But Wagner - well, I can’t wait to sing Isolde. Let me live so long.” Yes, Jessye Norman is Are You In The Air About A LEASE Call Us At PARK EAST Phone 724-1616 or 733-2201 No Lease REQUIRED Reasonable Rates Accommodations: including Living Room, Dining Room 1% bath, Kitchen, Patio, and Playground Additional Features: Security Guard, Wall-to-wall carpeting, Nursery (Jan. 73) CONVENIENT TO PAINE COLLEGE & GORDON HWY. AREA Page 2 making it -- in fact, is already an international somebody, regardless of what may happen in her New York recital or thereafter. But she is entirely aware of whose shoulder she is standing on. “If it hadn’t been for people such as Jackie Robinson, Marian Anderson and Mattiwilda Dobbs I’m sure it would be as hard for me now as it was for them in the thirties. Look, I can’t imagine what my reaction would be, knowing me, if I went into a first-class motel with a reservation and they said ‘Oh, we’re sorry, you can’t sleep here.’ I’d throw a few things. I’m sure I wouldnt turn the other cheek and go out to some fleabag to stay. I’m not sure I could have stood all that - what Todd Duncan and the other lived through.” Just under the left eye Miss Norman bears a scar, the result of a backyard fall, onto a sharp stone at the age of 4 (It took 22 stitches, if you can imagine that) If she has other scars - psychic ones - from growing up as a black artist in America, they do not show. She has been one of the lucky ones. And is anything but bitter. But, for now, if you want to reach her,you’d best writer her at home in Berlin, care of the Deutsche Oper. I=3l ACTIO fINE NEW ORLEANS POLITICS STACKED AGAINST BLACKS New Orleans, La., - Terming a city council district plan in the city as stacked against blacks, the U.S. Justice Department advised the council to try again. This left councilmen with the option of appealing the Justice Department ruling or redrawing the district to correct the attempt at gerrymandering. The district lines for the seven-member council “was not fair as far as the racial makup was concerned,” said a Justice Department spokesman. In an old story, New Orleans has nearly 50 percent black population but no representation on the council. BILL RUSSELL HEADS TEAM Chicago, 111., - Former player now coach Bill Russell in the National Basketball Association has been elected first vice chairman of Operation PUSH -- People United to Save Humanity. Other new directors of the civil rights group are Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, and Rachel Robinson, widow of baseball great Jackie Robinson, former head of PUSH. “OH SAY...” Nixon Sees Annapolis, Md. -- Soul Singer Ethel Ennis has a fan -- President Nixon. While some did not like the soulful style she introduced as the inaugural rendition of the national anthem, the President, she said, definitely did. “The President told me he like it. I think he was sincere. I know it was different, but I didn’t do it for that reason. I added a few notes to make it more meaningful ... to give it a little warmth,” she explained. DETROIT POLICE RECRUIT BLACKS Detroit, Mich. - Recruiting outside the city will be tried to reach the goal of a 45 percent black police force in Detroit by the year 1980. The city’s population is about 50 percent black but the police force is 85 percent white. FORECAST: BELT- -TIGHTENING IN AID TO EDUCATION New Orleans, La. - A gloomy forecast of Federal cuts in aid to education is predicted by Dr. Sidney P. Marland, Jr., U.S. Assistant Secretary for Education. Marland’s remarks came in an address to the 34th convention of the Louisiana School Boards Association. The President’s budget, Marland said, reflects “some drastic belt-tightening in education appropriations as well as in other sources such as highways and transportations.” BUSIN’ IS BACK IN U.S. SENATE Washington, D.C. - Alabama Sen. James B. Allen tossed in a proposed constitutional amendment to prevent busing of school children for racial purposes as one of his first acts of the 93rd Congress. Joining him were Senators Sam Erving (D-N.C); Henry M. (Scoop) Jackson (D-Wash.); John Stennis (D-Miss.); Herman Talmadge (D-Ga.); Jesse Helms (R-N.C.); Bill Brock and Howard Baker, both Tennessee Republicans; James L. Buckley (R-N.Y.); Bill Scott (R-Va.); Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.); and John Tower (R-Tex.) BOBBY SEALE WANTS A SLUSH FUND Oakland, Calif. -- Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale announced for mayor and immediately called for a “slush fund” to provide jobs for minorities. Seale, 35, predicting a “landslide victory,” said “people have a right to a job” and that this would be the central theme in his campaign. BILL WOULD GIVE CLEMENTE MEDAL Washington, D.C. - Creation of a commemorative gold medal in honor of baseball star Roberto Clemente, who died in a tragic plane crash, was urged by hometown Congressman William S. Moorhead in Pittsburgh, Pa. Clemente, an all-star outfielder, died when a cargo plane loaded with supplies to earthquake victims in Guatemala crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Puerto Rico. CLEAVER ILL IN ALGERIA Algiers -- (NBNS) - Black Panther sources here report that Eldridge Cleaver has not departed for the United States, as previously reported, but has been hospitalized by illness. Cleaver is expected to return to the United States to renew his fight for militant action against black oppression.
