More rewarding. Pay-check discrimination does exist, notably in banks, insurance and telephone companies, but women tend to overrate it. While the average woman worker earns much less than a man (about $3,300 a year v. $5,500), the gap is due not so much to discrimination as to the fact that more than three-quarters of the women workers have jobs in which men get relatively low pay-as clerks, secretaries, service workers, factory operatives, teachers.

"The problem is not so much segregation," but habits of mind that discourage Negroes from trying to improve themselves. Lowe himself ignored advice that he give up plans to attend college, and went on to earn a Masters in Education. He frankly admits that Negro students do not perform as well as white students. Negro enrollments would tend to "debilitate" presently all white schools. Under these circumstances, Lowe does not regard civil rights as the only worthwhile goal to be achieved for the Negro. He prefers...
