“Private schools throughout
the country, particularly at ele
mentary and secondary level,
need to reappraise their racial
policies in enrollment if they are
to fulfill realistically their con
tribution to the non-discrimina-
tory national leadership the fu
ture will require.”
This was the opinion express
ed by Otis E. Finley Jr., asso
ciate director for education and
youth incentives of the National
Urban League, at a meeting of
private school officials here.
He urged that in voluntarily
re-examining, and reassessing
their educational approaches,
the private schools weigh care
fully the values of living exper
iences in intergroup relations
through more racially represen
tative student bodies.
