Page -6 occupational goals are limited. Announcer - Is there a problem of Negro drop-outs? Mrs. Pistorius - Yes, this study indicates that Negro children drop out of school more frequently than other pupils before they are trained to their highest potential. Announcer - Without a doubt, the necessity for creating greater vocational opportunities for the Negro population is a vital total community problem. Mrs. Pistorius - Yes, and it seems to be necessary to impress upon Negro boys and girls in Burlington the lasting values of continued education and training. These children, like all others, need to feel the need for maximum growth and development. And for Negro children in Burlington it must be in spite of the fact that Negroes in this city at the present time are participating in community life only in a limited way. Adequate motivation of Negro children will necessarily involve a consideration of the possibilities as well as the heads of changes in the present patterns, so that each young citizen may want to and will be able to assume his greatest possible responsibility as a member of the community. Announcer - Thank you, Mrs. Pistorius, for your report for the Education committee of the Burlington Self-Survey. Tomorrow evening at the same hour we will interview three more committee chairman from the Burlington Self-Survey. We hope you will all be listening tomorrow at 9:30 P. M.
