They ex press need for “special informa tion.” There is no need for “special in formation” in counseling Negroes. There is the need for the kind of data which offers insight into behavior, drives and motivations. Such data is needed about any and all individuals. The basic prin ciple which needs special re-em phasis, is that all the psychological principles involved in personality and development and adjustment of white youth and adults are needed for Negroes too. We recognize certain basic needs of all people in our culture; the need for security, recognition and status, group acceptance, success ful experiences, and opportunity for achievement. Negroes have these same basic needs. Almost all individuals face some frustrations, defeats, and resulting conflicts, in trying to satisfy these needs. How ever, the frustrations, defeats and conflicts are intensified and faced more frequently by the Negro be cause of his color. This is what is important for us to remember. Widely and firmly held miscon ceptions about the Negro’s person ality, intelligence, and talents, as well as his achievements and ac complishments, handicaps him in the competition for jobs. Limita tions because of color are pointed out constantly to him by his own family, friends and has been subtly transmitted since early childhood. Feelings of insecurity and anxiety frequently take root at this time. As a result, many of the youths who are aware of very definite interesst, aptitudes, land abilities may repress and ig nore them because of the convic tion that they will not be utilized in the labor market. Such indi viduals may not even discuss such interests, aptitudes, or abilities. Too often counselors, teachers, parents, friends and others, either directly or indirectly, have dis couraged vocational interests and choices during a counseling process. It helps a great deal if the counselor has authentic informa tion regarding Negro leaders in occupations and is able to provide such information to the counselee. Such information is a valuable aid in combatting discouragement. Counseling of this kind implies that counseling for maximum ad justment does not attempt to ad just youth to accept the barriers of the “status quo,” but rather to prepare them to cope with the bar riers, find ways around them, and even to master techniques for re moving them. Everyone in our country has a role to play in the development of democracy. Progress toward dem ocratic ideals depends on those re sponsible for the personality de velopment and adjustment of our citizens and future citizens. Po tenialties of all men must be hon estly appraised so that they may make their most effective contri bution to society. Ruth Standish Baldwin, a founder and Chairman of the Na tional Urban League Board (1913— 15) said: “Let us work not so colored people nor as white people for the narrow benefit of any group alone, but together as American citizens for the common good of our com mon city, our common country.” I Lynnwood Parker Executive Secretary.

However, they are the only two working for a large drug organization whose manage ment is composed of whites. Their story is just one more proof that business is gradually, if slowly, abolishing the color line. Mr. X of Standard Drug re sembles Coach Paul Brown of the football champion Cleveland Browns in his disregard for color. He wants a person who will do a job well, regardless of race, color, or other considerations. For a number of years the Cleveland Urban League has worked closely with Mr. X trying to recommend to him only the highest calibre people for con sideration. The association has always been a pleasant one on both sides,, and all indications are that it will remain so. l H. O.
