lowed.
Mrs. Pace presented Mis. John
F. Bailey who gave the first pro-
gram in the new course of study.
"The Challenge of Our Genera-
tion." Her topic was "Segregation
in Our Schools." She based her
discussion on an article in the
cnyitionai facilities. Some states
dragged behind in this but some
progress was made everywhere.
This system probabl) would have
eventually worked itself out for
the good of all concerned us the
South knew and understood its
own problems.
Early in World War II the pro-
blem became acute again. In Dur-
ham, North Carolina, a Negro
group met and set up some princi-
ples and objectives. They wanted
the injustices corrected. They ask-
ed for better schools! not separat-
