Kilpatrick recalls the 1898 Hiawatha Primer used in Wilson County North Carolina schools in 1926. He contrasts this sturdy approach with late 20th century schooling, lamenting softer primers and broader social changes while noting the primer's drill work, 600 words, 171 lines memorized, and shared black and white classrooms under segregation.

Reagan’s Civil Rights Dilemma Affects 1984 Campaign
The piece critiques President Reagan’s civil rights record and tactics, noting clashes with the US Commission on Civil Rights, limited top appointments for African Americans, and opposition to extensions of key rights laws. It cites Benjamin Hooks of the NAACP, questions about black voting support, and Reagan’s sparse public outreach to Black Americans amid mounting criticism.
Civil rights debate shadows Reagan polls and staffing
The president faces mixed public opinion with Black voters showing significant opposition while Hispanic support grows. He has tailored trips to Miami and Texas, but civil rights policy remains contentious. After Supreme Court rulings, Reagan dismissed three Civil Rights Commission members, prompting harsh critiques from the panel. Speakes defends staffing as inclusive, yet education policy awaits impact on re election prospects.
