At a meeting of the 7th District branches of the National Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Color­ ed People, held Saturday in the Mt. Salvation Baptist Church in Hall’s Hill, representatives heard Dr. E. B. Henderson report: Letters have been sent to all of the Negro and white ministers in northern Virginia urging them to implement on the individual church level, the policies adopted by their higher church bodies re­ garding integration anv. the Su­ preme Court decision. Letters have also been sent to all the teachers in the Negro schools, Dr. Henderson said, with suggestions for preparation of chil­ dren for adequate adjustment to the problems of de-segregation. Dr. Henderson also reported on the Richmond meeting of the Gov­ ernor’s Commission on Education, which he mentioned that the majority of opponents of de-segre­ gation came from these counties where Negroes were either a ma­ jority of the population or a large minority. He indicated that it is a travesty upon a democracy where none of the officials in government were members of the large minority or the majority. The highest paid state salary to a Negro goes to the Governor’s chauffeur, he said. At the meeting in Richmond those white people who feared mis­ cegenation were reminded that this had been going on a long time and the Responsibility was that of the whifc majority. Loudoun Groups Reject Segregation Proposal RICHMOND, Va. — Color c d organization* in Loudoun county, Va. have flatly rejected a pro­ posal that colored residents of the county a p p r o v e segreg a ted schools in the county so that a bond issue could be approved by voters in the county for improve­ ment of the schools. Disclosure of the action of the colored citizens was made this week by W. Lester Banks, execu­ tive secretary of the Virginia State C o n f e r e n c e s of NA ACP Branches. He said theLoundon County Board of Education and the county Board of Super­ visors holding a joint meeting f voted to make the authorization - of racially segregated schools. a Y f . i l ? . • • • THE JOINT statement of the two boards advised that “no steps should be taken - until and u n l e s s reasonable assurances have been given by the parents of colored children of the county that they will conform to our considered opinion that their ed­ ucation can be promoted better by continued school attendance on a segregated basis.” This proposal is flatly reject­ ed in a resolution adopted by the County Wide League, John W. Wanzer, president; the Banneker Parent-Teacher Associa­ tion, Mrs. Geneva Stewart, pre sident, and the Loudoun County Branch of the National Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Cok ored People, William M. Jack* son, president. • • • IN THEIR resolution the *ign« ers noted that the School Board have proposed a $700,000 issue t« secure money to improve the schools in the couty, but that action of the proposal be con­ tingent on the acceptantce of se­ gregated schools by colored parents as best for their children. This point, however, is disputed in the resolution with the state­ ment that it “is based solely up­ on Ignorance and superstition..** The resolution also points out that “the pattern of racial segre­ gation nurtured through the se­ gregated public schools retard# the development of the cultural and democratic processes of the entire community” and that “the Supreme Court has declared that enforced racial segregation i a public schools is unlawful.” THE ORGANIZATIONS meet­ ing jointly said in closing their resolution that they “ reject the proposal contained in the afore­ said resolution” of the School Board and Board of Supervisor# “and urge all other Negroes i t Loudoun County to do likewise.'* The resolution is signed by the presidents of the participating or­ ganizations. It was directed that, the resolution to b# sent to the boards |Loudoun Refuses Negro School Use LEESBURG, Va., April 11 (Spl.)—A request that Douglass High School for Negroes be per­ mitted to use the auditorium of Loudoun County High School for its spring commencement exercises was turned down to-, day by the County School Board. John Tolbert, chairman of the committee on school needs of the Countywide League, a Ne­ gro organization, made the re­ quest and cited the need for more space. The Douglass au1 ditorium has 300 seats and the ■Loudoun auditorium has 1000. i Board members told him Lou. doun County High also has t crowded conditions at its grad’ uations. 1 The board also allocated all of the $60,000 building fund for ■ the coming school year to a • two-classroom and library addi. tion at Areola Elementary ' School.

The existing 15 room Drew School is already operating 18 additional classrooms in temporary quarters outside the current school grounds. The proposed 22-room addition to the Drew School building would be filled to capacity in 1961 with the rescue of the 18 temporary classrooms and the estimated extra increase in school enrollment. This proposed solution will again be Inadequate in 1962 in addi tion and of more Importance. Educationally the proposal is not in keeping with the high educational standards of Arlington County Public School System. This Civic Association, convinced of the need for an imaginative solution for a serious educational problem, employed the services of a distinguished architect to assist in developing a constructive proposal. The new proposal was to be developed on the baslB that it would be superior in: choice of site; quality of educational and architectural planning; value for county dollars spent; and in potential contribution to cultural and edu cational life of the community itself. The School Board held a special meeting on September 26, at which time Mr. Hllyard Robinson, Architect-Consultant, on behalf of the Civic Association, presented a remarkable lantern-slide illustrated study and proposal of elementary school facilities in compliance with the needs and objectives as stated. The undeveloped Douglas Park area located in the community was the land site chosen. It has major assets of an existing adjacent recreational or play ground area and a rugged natural wooded topography which, imagina tively conceived, yields numerous community values. Diagrammatic studies were presented by the Architect which yield land accommodations for the mandatory 22 classrooms— kinder garten as well as for additional classrooms when needed and as funds become available. Classroom planning is in "Cluster Units" with efficient flexible "indoor-outdoor" classrooms with equipped individual recreational areas controllable by each teacher. �- 2 - These studies also provided protection against noise and other distractions and a choice of "Group use Facilities" including: "school-community", library, auditorium-gym, and lunch-multipurpose room. The "Campus-Cluster" type elementary school planning to which the Douglas land tract is well adapted, is not new. If one needs precedent for its educational, architectural and economical soundness one might review published data on existing elementary school projects of this type in Middletown and Watertown, Connecticut; Brentwood, Missouri; Weston, Massachusetts; Westerly, Rhode Island; and Bellevue, Washington. Team Action-Community, School Board, Architect, Citizens— could promptly bring to this progressive lii|t^community a sound and prideful solution to a pressing educational need at a modest expenditure within the $13 to $14 per square foot cost of elemen tary school construction established by Arlington County. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
