34 the relative number reporting Negro children equal to the others becomes progressively lower from the elementary to high school level; and the relative number finding the children below the others becomes progressively greater. As a matter of fact, approximately twice as many teachers at the junior high school level than at the elementary level reported Negro children below the others. 1 Negro boys and girls are equal to other children in conduct according to 85 percent of the teachers replying; and equal in initiative according to 76 percent. However, 16 percent reported that Negro children fall below the other in initiative. (Table 2) Eight percent of the 69 teachers replying reported Negro children's behavior normal on the playground, a few find them aggressive or retiring. 2 When teachers were given the opportunity to name any other differences they observed in reference to Negro students, the very few replies included the following statements: Rhythmic and bouyant (#5081- schedule 153- elementary school) Very musical- very artistic (#5081- schedule 75 - elementary school) The big difference comes in our school activities. Negroes do not tend to enter such activities as completely as possible. (#5081 - schedule 153- junior high school) Quick temper. 1. Appendix Table XXVII 2. Appendix Table XXVIII
