OUR COVER PAGE

On the outside cover of this issue of the K. T. A. lournal is the picture of one of the
latest buildings to be placed on the Kentucky State College Campus.

This building, ”The Rosenwald Laboratory School”, is a part of the Department of
Education and is primarily to serve as an experimental school for the college and as a
practice school for those who are to be elementary teachers.

The building has in it a principal's office, several Class rooms, an industrial arts
room, a library, a kitchen and a social activities— cafeteria room.

The building which cost $137, 000 00 is situated on a landscaped plot readily
accessible to the campus proper by concrete walkway through the tunnel under High-
way. 60. The structure is a modern one—story ranch type building.

The exterior is of yellow pressed brick with concrete foundation and aluminum
window easements. The beauty of the main entrance, located on the north side of the
edifice, is enhanced by bordering concrete flower boxes built in as extensions of the
foundation. Each classroom has a southern exposure with Windows covering almost the
entire wall. From each classroom a door opens upon a walk and play area. Entrances
are located also at the east and west ends of the building.

The attractive interior consists of unglazed tile walls, acoustical tile ceiling and
concrete floors covered with asphalt tile blocks. The corridor lights are incadescent and
flush with the ceiling. Plexiglass skylights supplement the lighting of the corridors and
the activity alcoves of the classrooms.

The principal of this school is Mrs. Minnie I. Hitch and teachers are Mrs. Mazie
Croley and Miss Pattye L. Simpson. Dr. George D. Wilson is head of the Department
of Education and Mr. T. R. Dailey is Director of Teacher Training. Other officials of the
college are Dr. David H. Bradford, Dean, and Dr. R. B. Atwood, President.

THE PROPOSED MERGER PLAN
INTERPRETATIVE STATEMENT ON MERGING KENTUCKY EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION AND KENTUCKY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
BY
Joint Committee Board of'Directors of K.E.A. and K.T.A.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

In View of an official declaration by the Board of Directors of the Kentucky Educa-
tion Association that the Constitution and By-Laws of the organization do not mention
race as a prerequisite for membership and the organization is in fact open to, and has
accepted membership of Negro teachers, we offer the following statment of inter-
pretation.

The reasoning and conclusions are based upon the guiding principles expressed or
implied by (l) the official clec oration of the Board of D.rec‘:ors, (Z) the Supreme Court
decision on segregation, (3) the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitu-
tion, and (4) the fact that both are legal affiliates of NEA.

INTERPRETATION

We, the undersigned joint committee of the KEA and KTA, do hereby agree on the
following interpretation of status and an orderly transition merging or combining the
above named professional organizations to provide one unified professional organiza-
tion with equal rights and privileges for all members.

Said interpretation and all provisions herein stated to be inserted into the records
by mutual consent and become a part of the official proceedings and records of said
one unified professional organization when read to the Delegate Assembly of KEA for
the purpose of a motion, seconded and carried that this statement of interpretation be—
come a part of the official records of the organization when recommendations of ap-
proval from the following have been filed in the KEA office: (1) Board of Directors of
KEA, (2) Board of Directors of KTA, and (3) Delegate Assembly of KEA, and the voting
Assembly of the KTA.

A. Said one unified professional organization to have and retain the name
THE KENTUCKY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION.

B. The assets, records and proceedings of the Kentucky Teachers Association
be absorbed and become a part of the assets and historical records of the
Kentucky Education Association.

C. The present leadership and membership of said Kentucky Education Asso-
ciation recognize and accept the inherent justice and responsibility in—
volved; and agree to set an honorable example for future groups and
members to follow in performing all administrative functions in such a way
that all members of the organization Will have the same rights and privi-
leges provided by the Constitution and By—Laws, and no member denied
the services and rights to which all members of KEA are now entitled.

 

IMMEDIATE ENROLLMENT A N'E‘CE‘SSITY

The Kentucky Teachers' Association derives its budget from the enrollment fees of
1400 teachers, the smallest number of teachers in any Southern State. On the basis
of this income, we have planned our expenditures. This means that we are expecting
each teacher to enroll for 1956.

We are now making contracts with our guest speakers for the Louisville convention,
April 11 to 13, 1958‘ We also are making other convention plans beside the publicity
and printing of our convention program.

Each teacher is asked to be sure to enroll immediately in the K. T. A. even though
a final decision about attending the April convention has not been made.

You are urged to give your feet to your principal who will send the school enroll-
ments as a group or if this is inconvenient, to send your $4.00 membership fee directly
to the K. T. A. secretary—treasurer.

This convention will be perhaps the most important in our history, because at this
time, we shall decide on the ”future" of our organization.

Questions regarding the integration of teachers along with pupils will be chief
among the topics to be discussed. The program features educators and civic leaders of
national prominence, and the persons selected are especially qualified to speak and
advise on the important questions and issues which we now face as teachers.

Enroll immediately and do you part to make the 80th convention of the K. T. A. a
gigantic success!

THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED

During the eighty years from 1877 to 1956, a number of Negro teachers in the state
of Kentucky have given of their time and energy in the interest of the K.N.E.A., and more
recently, the K.T.A. Space would not permit the mention of all these persons, but below
will be found some of the elected officers who have served during these eighty years of
progress in the education of the Negro youth of Kentucky.
