AN APPEAL!

The president, executive secretary, directors and officers of
the K. N. E. A. extend to the colored teachers of Kentucky sin-
cere greetings and best wishes for a successful school year dur»
ing 1931—32. We would urge you to stress better citizenship
among the youth of Kentucky in accordance with a movement
which has been launched by the National Educational Associa-
tion. We would urge you to consecrate your efforts toward
the instilling of such ideals as would he conducive to the build-
ing of character in our youth We wish to thank the teachers
of Kentucky for their loyal support to the K. N. E. A. as re
vealed in the high pel‘ cent of enrollment fol‘ 1930—31.

Elsewhere in this publication will be found the ﬁnancial re-
port of the secretary-treasurer of the K. N‘. El Al, in which it
may he noted that- there is yet in the K. N. E. A. treasury nearly

one thousand dollars. Due to the general depression and other
difficulties Common to the business world at present, the Mutual-

Standard Blink of Louisville, Ky, Was forced to close its doors
on May '1, 1931. This bank was the depository for K. N. E. A.
funds. Records indicate that $1,014.63 is on deposit to thy
credit of the K. N. E. A., a claim having been ﬁled for this
amount. Under the circumstances, the K. N. E. A is without
one cent on which to operate for 1931432. There are no funds
available for the publication of the K. N. E. A. Journal, clerical
hire, postage, or expenses for legislative committee work and
other types of activities fostered by this association Because of
the above crisis the president and other officers 0" the K. N. E. A.
have set November 1 to December 31 as a period for the 1931-32
enrollment campaign. Principals of Kentucky schools and roun-
ty organizers are, therefore, urged to collect enrollment fees
from thLir respective teachers immediately, send
secretary during November and December and earlier if possible
No loyal member of the K. N. E. A. ll'lould fail in [his special
.ppul.

Send one dollar to A. S. Wilson, secretary of the K. N. E. A.,
1925 w. Madison street, Louisville, Ky., at once. You will

receive your 1931~32 mem’bership card and ‘will not be ex—
pected to enroll again during the school year. His request does

not impose an extra assessment on any teacher, but only seeks
to have the enrollment fee in the treasury several months earlier
for operating expenses, this being necessary until the closed bani:
makes some adjustment with the K. N. E A. A list of schools
on the honor roll will be pu'blished in the December Kl N. E A.
Journal, and in addition, a certiﬁcate of honor will -be sent to all
schools which send in a one hundred per cent enrollment.

IMMEDIATE ENROLLMENT NECESSARY

For several years the K. N. E. A. bus attempted to sponsor a year—
around educational program. This program has included the sending
out of educational pulblicaﬁons of value to our teachers and the con-

ducting of spelling contests, declamatory contests, and special educa-
tional sennce to various teachers or communities desiring help in the

solution of their problems. In order to continue this program for
1931—32 it is necessary that the K. N .E. A. treasury have sufﬁcient
funds. As pointed out elsewhere, the K. N. E. A. is Without funds
due to the bank closing. The solution to our present problem is to
have the teachers of Kentucky enroll new and thus help to secure the
funds so necessary for our work. Teachers who enroll now will not
he expected to enroll at the April meeting. Since there is no added
obligation in this request, it is hopted that thee teachers will show their
loyalty to the K. N. E. A. by sending their dollars to the secretary 3.4
soon as possible during the months of November and December.

OUR MAILING LIST

The mailing list now on file in the office of the K. N. E. A
secretdry includes all teachers who enrolled in the K. N. E. A. during
1531, the city and county superintendents of Kentucky, and special
friends of Negro education. This list contains about 1500 names.
There are yet several hundred colored teachers in Kentucky whose
names should appear on our mailing list, some of them having recently
entered the service and others who did not enroll last year. In order to
bring the mailing list up—to-date and to add the teachers in the latter
group to our list in order that they might receive the next issue of the
Journal as a sample number along with an invitation to enroll in'the
K. N. E. A. for 193132, it is requested that the various Kentucky city
and county superintendents who receive this Journal send to A. s.
Wilson, secretary of the K. N. E. A., 1925 W. Madison Street, Louis-
vil'e, Ky, the names and addresses of the colonel—feathers now in
their respective systems. The principals of our schools are asked to
render their co~opemtion in helping to secure such lists from tlleii’
superintendents and mailing them to the secretary of the K. N. E. A.

THE K. N. E. A. JOURNAL

This is the first issue of the K. N. E. A. Journal for 1931.32 and
inaugurates the seeond year of its publication. During the past year
{our issues were sent out containing on average of 32 pages per issue.
Much favorable comment was received by the editor regarding the

type of material which it contained and pointed out ‘how helpful it
should be to the colored teachers of Kentucky. Especially did our
Journal receive the enthusiastic endorsement of Mr. L, N. Taylor,
State Director of Negro Education, at Frankfort. Various educational
institutions have sought. the issues of the K. N. E, A. Journal for their
official ﬁles in their libraries and a number of state departments of
education have requested copies of our publication. It is hoped that
our issues for 1931-32 will he even more helpful than those of the
(past year. We hope to continue to feature the new school buildings
recently erected in Kentucky for colored youth. This has done much
to inﬂuence other superintendents and boards of education to give
to the colored youth better buildings than heretofore. In addition,
there will be some special articles prepared by outstanding educators
in this and other states. The editor also desires to announce the addi-
tion of an educational service in which teachers will he permitted to
send their problems in writing to the editor. They will in turn receive
special advice toward a solution of their problems or, at least, helpful
information. These replies are also to he published in the K. N. E. A
Journal for the benefit of its readers. The teachers of Kentucky are
requested to send important educational notes to the editor and to
submit any matter which they think desirable for publication. The K. N.
E. A. Journal belongs to the colored teachers of Kentucky and it is
hoped that they will continue to give it their enthusiastic support.

OUR 1531-32 PROGRAM

The Board of Directors of the K. N. E. A. will meet in Louisville
during- the State Interracial Conference in November to outline def-
initely the 1931-32 program. Several new features will probably be
outlined in the next K. N. E. A. Journal for this school year. Already
Miss R. L. Carpenter, head of the music department, has recommended
that there be a state-wide music contest. as a feature 01’ the next
annual session at Louisville, April 13-16, 1932. During the school year
the vsrious high schools of the state will be requested to organize
quartets or glee clubs, the latter not to exceed eight members. Each
high school would be permitted to send its music organization to the
1932 convention for a. final music contest at Louisville on April 14.
A trophy is to be awarded the winning school. In addition, each music
organization will be trained during the school year to render special
‘music numbers as a rpm-t of a massed chorus at the K. N. E. A. meet-
ing to consist of all the high school Iepresentah'vees of the state. The
state spelling contest is also to 'be a feiture of our 193132 activities.
Teachers of Kentucky who have suggestions for the activities of the
K. N. E. A. are urged to send them to the president or secretary at
once. Write us your opinion regarding our annual literary and in»
dustrial exhibits or any other features connected with our program.

A NEW OPPORTUNITY

Teachers desiring extension courses with standard college credit
may write to Dr. Wellington Patrick, Director of University Extension,
University of Kentucky, Lexington, for information as to correspon»
dence or study éenter courses and costs.

L. N. TAYLOR

HIGHER STANDARDS

There is imperative need for raising the requirements under
which teochex-s are permitted to enter the teaching profession. These
requirements should be raised NOW. Teachers who entered the pro-
fession under lower standards should be encouraged to take a. year
or two off for additional training. It is not fair to the children to
keep untrained teachers in the classrooms so long as there is u surplus
of teachers who have had broad and generous training. Teachers
who are lacking in training would do well to anticipate the legal
changes which are certain to require high stoudsrds in the near future.
The teachers of both training and experience will be most ill demand.

——N. E. A. Journal

THE NEW SCHOOL AT HARRODSBURG

On the front cover‘ of this Journal is the picture of the beautiful
strum-heated, modern equipped, brick building which is nearing com-
pletion and is soon to be occupied by both the elementary and high
school grades of the West Side City School. The completolt plant has
been estimated at $20,000. There are seven class rooms, u spacious
office, an auditorium with a seating- capacity of 600, and three en-
trance halls. This plant is reputed to be the best of its size and kind
in Kentucky

It stands as another fitting testimonial to the faithful service and
persistent efforts of Mr. L. N. Taylor, representative of the Julius
Rosenweld Fund in Kentucky, supplementing the faithful service and
splendid cooperation of a community’s educational sponsors.

The principal, Miss Maynette M. Elliott, with her faithful co-
Workers, is happy in realizing this long-felt need for better educational
advantages.

Mr, W. W. Ensminger, superintendent of the school system at Har-
rodsburg is to be commended for his untiring efforts put forth in
providing modern school facilities for the Negro boys and girls of his
community.

Resoluh'ons Adopted at the K. N. E. A. Session,
Saturday, pril 18, 1931

United States Commissioner of
Education has recently appointed
a nah'onal council of Neg-r0 edu-

cation; and noting that the coun-
all has wide-spread representa-

ers in service, and a group of
representative educators within
its borders, has no representation
on this naﬁﬂnal council.

tucky Negro Educational Associa—
tion, in behalf of and speaking
for the educational interest of the

the State representation in the

uable‘ services of Professor Will-
