Outraged Northerners might reflect on what these rides mean to the South. They have heard the argument that the Southern Negro is happier than his Northern counterpart, that the Negro doesn't really seek improvement. Now Northerners see the most rabid Southern group publicly confessing that the South cannot satisfy even its most ill-educated, ignorant Negroes, that--and this is a crushing admission--there is a Negro problem in the South. Responsible Southern newspapers have already read this lesson into the rides, and they are absolutely correct. The segregationists are confessing that Southern society is a failure...
...feel a democratic possessiveness about our Letters column. After President Kennedy's set-to with steel, we reported that his action had been popular in the nation. But not, it turned out, with our readers. A reader demanded to know whether the letters we selected to run correctly reflected the ratio of letters we received.

In a very real sense, these Southerners are trying to do more than solve the Negro problem by elimination: within their own frame of reference they are attempting to wage biological warfare on the North...
...conflict between final exam and papers is mostly based upon the differences between emphasis upon memory and upon understanding. This should not be, for papers have a much narrower focus than exams and may therefore reflect less the student's general ability. The choice between papers and exams must rest upon deciding whether the study should be tested on the whole count or whether he should simply be asked to show understanding of a particular segment. But the difference between open-and closed-book exams in basically that between demanding memory and inviting the student organize and use facts...
