IMMEDIATE ENROLLMENT DESIRABLE

Since the publication of the November K. N. E. A. Journal about
100 teachers have sent in their enrollment fees. This has permitted
us to pay in part for the last Journal and its mailing. It is hoped
that teachers will continue this flow of daily enrollment into the set:-
teary-treasurers ofﬁce.

Daily, there comes request for spoiling lists and information row-
ccl‘ning our annual spelling contest" K. N. n. A. legislative motors,
etc. These requests require office help and mailing expenses. It is
hoped thst the teachers will realize that the treasury of the K. N. 'E. A.
had practically no balance except that in the closed bank at the close
of the year ending last May, 1932.

Principals, county organizers and superintendents of schools are
urged to start at once collecting membership fees of the entire group
of teachers under their administration. Honor r011 certificates have
been prepared and membership cards are now ready for distribution for
1933. In the next K. N. E. A. Journal, which will appear during the
month of March, there will he a list of 100 per cent schools and the
officials of each. It is hoped that most of our schools can he on that
honor roll by that time. Immediate enrollment insures a successful
meeting. Ofﬁcers of the K. N. E. A. can then plan more definitely
the type of program which the K. N. E. A. deserves to sponsor.

Teachers Wh'O are loyal to the profession will not fail to enroll
in the K. N. E. A. for 1932 because they realize that this organization
is the biggest of its kind in Kentucky, that it has the interest of colored
teachers in Kentucky as its main program and that it sponsors an
equal educational opportunity for the colored youth of Kentucky.

WORK OF THE SURVEY COMMISSION >

Superintendent Richmond has sponsored the appointment and
work of an educational commission in Kentucky whose duties consists
in making studies of our schools in Kentucky, both colored and white,
with a view of arriving at some solution to outstanding problems along
the lines of financial administration, buildings, etc.

Superintendent Richmond has stated that this commission will
Study our schools in the sax-rile way that it studies whit/e schools. To
slid in the study of education of the Negro youth, there has lheen up-
pointed in special committee, headed by President R. B. Atwood of
K. S. I. C. This committee is mentioned elsewhere in this Journal and
is now at work on the major problems of Negro education. The com-
mittee will meet again in Fdhruaxy to summarize some of its ﬁndings
en'l continue its work. Later, it will report finally to the main com-
mittee of the Survey Commission with certain recommendations

Finally, the Survey Commission will publish its findings on Kentucky
schools and urge remedial legislation at the 1934 general assembly in
Kentucky

Thoughtful teachers will realize that this is an utstanding un-
dertaking and should meet the approval and oo-operation of all Ken-
tucky teachers. It is bccause of this far—reaching effect of this survey '
that the Kl N. E. A. has made a pledge to the commissmn for $500.00.
We have not yet paid anything on this pledge. If each colored teacher
pays his annual membership fee of $1.00 there is no reason Why this
amount can not be paid in full at the 1983 session The K'. E. A.
has given $5,000.00 for the same purpose. Shall we not do our part
as teachers in Kentucky? We must not fail in this important matter.

OUR JOURNAL COVERS

On the outside cover of the K. N. E. A. Journal. will he found the
picture of the Rosenwald High School at Madisonville. This is the
eighth picture which has been run on covers of the K. N. E. A. Journal.
In all, about twelve pictures have :been shown in the K. N. E. A.
Journal to point out the newer type of buildings which are being
erected at various places in Kentucky for colored children. These
buildings, in some instances, have run to as high as $800,000, $400,000,
and $500,000. This is true of the Lincoln—Grant school in Covington,
the Jackson Junior High School at Louisville and the Madison Junior
High School at Louisville. Approximately the respective amounts have
been spent in the construction of each. Many of the other cities, such
as, Lexington, Frankfort and Maysville have had schools \to range
around $100,000 and more in costs.

There is still another group of outstanding buildings, such as the
the one shown this month. Principal William E. Lee of Madisonville
reports that his school has ten rooms and features in its indrumial de
partment brickiaying, mechanical dmwing and home economics. It is
gratifying to note that most of the new buildings have included accumu-
dations for a program of industrial eduution. A list of these school
buildings which have been run in the K. N‘. E. A. Journal and the ol-
ficials of them are as follows:

Madison Junior High School, Louisville. A. S. Wilson, Principal
“Jackson Junior High School, Louisville, A. El Moyzeek, Principd

In addition to the above mentioned buildings, there are other new
schools which the -K. N. E. A. might feature in subsequent issue- of
the Journal.

K. N. E. A. CONVENTION

The K. N. E. A. will convene in Louisville for its 57th annull
session during the month of April. It is expeo‘ell that there will be
unusual attendance due to the fact that a new president is to be elected,
that other important matters are to be brought on for consideration.
A program which will include outstanul'ng speakers of national impor-
tance, both men and women, is being aranged. 1n the afternoons
of the convention, there will be unusually attractive sectional meetings.

01: Friday night during tlie meeting, there will be 3 m’usicale
featuring an artist with a free admission to K. N. E. A. members. on
Saturday nigh-‘5, there will be the thirteenth annual exhibition at the
Armolv. During the morning hours of the convention at two of Louis-
\‘ille's most beautiful theatres, there will be given pictures free to
members of the K. N. EA.

The music department of the K. N. E. A. will also probably foil-
ture an Operetta. Special demonstrations will also be arranged during 'lle
morning hours at various scl.ools in Lauisvllle.

On Friday afternoon in the elementary education department,
there will be featured a State Spelling Bee. Already, many tountia
have written for spelling lists and are at work preparing their entries
for the annual contest at Louisville. .

With such an elaborate program, teachers should make definite
plans new to attend the K. N. E. A. meeting. Teachers are ungel in
enroll ty mail and upon ripening to the convention, register uni w
ceive their badge and free ticket to the musicale on Friday night. All.
teachers should be sure to lbring their membership cards with them.
Membership cards are required in voting procedure.

THREE JOURNAL SUPPORTERS

mere are at least three requisites for the successful publication
of the K. N. E. A. Journal. These are (1) educational contributions,
(2) n list of subscribers and (3) a group of advertisers.

l: is gratifying to note that there are at least three white friend]
of Negro education that stand .out in each of these phases. In the first
group, we have as a special contributor, Mr. L. N. Taylor, Rural School
Agent at the Department of Education. Mr. Taylor has taken I per
sonal interest in the education of Negro children. He is a friend and
advisor to the colored teachers of Kentucky. This connection make!
him a valuable asset to the K. N. E. A. Journal. We appreciate his
splendid co-operation.

In the second group, we have as a leader, Superintendent H. W.

Peters of Christian County who is generally the first to haVe
the teachers of this county to enroll 100 per cent in the K. N. E. A.
Supelintendent Peters has 50 colored teachers in his county and each
year- we. may count on him for ED subscribers to the K. N. E. A.
Journal. This type of a superintendent ably represents one in the
group‘ who insure subscribers to the Journal.

In the third group, the advertisers, we have Mr. E. H. Speckman,
Auditor of the Kentucky Central Life and Accident Insurance Com-
pany, Anchorage, Kentucky. Since the inauguration of the K. N.
E. A. Journal, the Kentucky Central Life and Accident Insurance
Company has carried a one page ad in every issue at a price of $10.00
per page. This splendid oo-operation on the pm of this business or-
ganization is highly appreciated by the teachers of Kentucky.

There are, of course, many outstanding colored officials who
support the K. N. E. A. Journal in the Above respects. It is, however,
the purpose of this article to pay 1. tribute to these three outstanding
white friends of Negro education for their loyal friendship and co-

operation.

HISTORY IN TRUTH

Not to know what one’s race has done in former times is to con-
tinue always a child. “If no use were made of the labor of past ages.”
it has been said, “the world would remain always in the infancy a!
knowledge." The Negro knows practically nothing of his hi 'ory and
his “friends” are not permitting him to learn it. The Negro is, there
fore, referred to as a child-like race.

Writers, on the other hand, have surfeited us with that sort of
history which is merely the record of the successes and disappointments,
the vices, the follies, and the quarrels of those who engage in conten-
tion for power. In other words, they have done little more than to
make history a register of the crimes and misfortunes of mankind.
Facts are mere dross of history. “It is from the abstract truth which
interpenetrates them, and lies latent among men, like gold in the ore,
that the mass derives its whole value. The precious articles are
generally combined with the “laser in such a manner that the separation
is a task of the utmost difficulty."

Realizing the importance of Negro history, all colored schools in
Kentucky should plan programs for the week of February 12-17, 1993.

James H. Richmond, Superin~
tendent ‘of Public Instruction, to»
day announced the personnel of a
committee to consider Negro Edu—

with elementary, secondary and

college levels of Kentucky‘s public
school system.

“No disﬁnclious will be made
in the commission’s wnrk hetween
colored and white children, how»
ever, it is possible that some pro!»
lems peculiar to the education of
Negro children, {brought about
largely because of separate schools
may not be considered sufficiently.

“Therefore, I deem it advisable
to appoint a special committee
whose purpose it will he to pre
pure :1 report on what might be

the education of the Negro. “l1
report will he submitted to the
commission for its consideration."

This committee held its first

Municipal College 01: Approved List

Three Kentucky High Schools
Alla Lined

Louisville Municipal College,
generally looked upon as the pre-
mier liberal arts college for
Negroes in Kentucky since in
founding less than two years ago,
has borne out that belief by gain-
ing a place on the approved list
at the recent meeriug of South—
ern Association of Sewndary
Schools held in New Orleans.

This approval means that grad-
uates of the college can enter any
graduate school in the country
and receive full credit for his col-
legiate work and that any under-
graduate in the college can (ran;
fer to another college without
losing his class standing or CI'EdjtS.

Since beaming a municipal in-
stitution, the college, under leader—

ehip of Dr. Rufus E. Clement,
dean, has maintained steady prog-
ress. New teachers . have been
added each year and the student
tvdy has grown nearly 100%-
In addition an evening school has
been opened in conjunction with
regular day activities and many
new volumes have been scored
for the library.

The Southern Association has
also given three wblic high
schools in Kentucky an “A” rating.
These are (l) Cenml High
School of Louisville, W. B. Mat-
thews, principal; (2) Dunlbar High
School of Lexington, W. H. Fouae,
principal and (3) Lincoln-Grant
High School of Goyington, H. TL
MeTIY. principal. Kentucky now
has more accredited public high
schools than any other state‘ex-
cspt North Carolina.
