TEXAS DALLAS, Texas Last week's in cident that claimed press attention was the fact that a local Dallas teacher was arrested and jailed for the flogging of a 6 year old youngster there are two schools of thought one is that the Dallas system is lax insofar that teachers are not up to the standard (not educationally) and that little or no attention is paid to the manner in which Negroes handle Negroes, by the powers that be (the school board). Be that as it may, I differ seriously There is a very grave responsibility placed upon the shoulders of the teachers, they are expected to do wonders a few hours of the day with children who are allowed to obey no laws after school hours they grow up just as thev want to and have respect for nobody. This stark reality, however, does not condone or excuse the action of cruelty to the iail far better to be suspended fired from the system that at least would not hurt too deeply. It is feared that last week's action will be but the beginning of other such moves on the parts of parents for the slightest complaints coming to them from their favorite offspring and will give teachers practically no authority in the class room. If Dallas teachers miss being the perfect paragons as set out for them then something ought to be done to raise the level of requirements in the system no matter who is hurt in tne process.

Problems are not solved by grape vine criticisms or antagonistic ac tions.
