“What Are You Worth?”

Any man alive and well is worth approximately
sixteen Hines the amount of his annual sAlary. If
yaur annual income is $900.00, you are worth
$15,000.00 to those dependent on you. If you earn
$1,200.00 3 year, you are worth $20,000.00 to
your family. One disabled or dead without suf-
ﬁcient protection is worth nothing.

REPORT OF STATE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION

The State Parent-Teacher Association held a most success-
ful session in Louisville, Kentucky in 1928. The program was
carried out as announced and much business was transacted in
an enthusiastic way by the representatives at the meeting.

There were _46 delegates to enroll and these represented 1,416
members. Two city leagues and two county councils were also
represented.

In this session it was voted that prizes be awarded at the
next meeting for the best Kentucky Parent~Teacher song fitted
to some familiar tune and also that prizes be awarded for the
best motto.

The following resolutions were adopted;

1. We recommend that our State Pareaneacher Associa~
tion be known as State Branch at National Congress of Colored
Parents and Teachers; and that we shall work by and endorse
the constitution for such branches as is given out by the National.

2. We recommend that as a State Branch we shall retain
in our state treasury from per capita tax on each local all money
sent by that local and thus the State Branch will 'be able to carry
out work of a Parent-Teacher Association, thereby enabling
it to help K. N . EJA. carry on a bigger and better educational
program and also keeping our State Body in touch with program
of National Parent-Teacher Association body.

3. We feel for more time that it would he better to hold
our meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday before opening of K.
N. E. A.—in same week4having three sessions on Tuesday and

12

 two sessions on Wednesday and closing before opening of the
night session

4‘ We elected as our Representative to National Congress

 As In A Looking Glass
(Article by Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson for A. N. P.)

The Kentucky Negro Educational Association met in Louis-
ville, Kentucky, April 18, 19, 20, 21, to be strictly accurate. The
“K. N. E. A." as its members lovingly call it, always meets in Louis-
ville, which is sensible, as Louisville is quite the most capable city
in Kentucky, of managing the numbers of teachers who throng to
the annual meeting. Three days a year are taken from school,
from the arduous duties of pounding Readin’, ritin’ and responsi-
bility into little Johnnie’s and little Mary’s heads, and are devoted 'to
intensive study of every possible phase of education. 1119, ‘louth
day, being Saturday, the teachers disport themselves joyonsly in an
election of oilicers that has an the earmarks of wire-pulling and
political manipulation. Perhaps the surface appearance was decep<
tive. To the outsider, it had it capable air of sophistication.

The program was rormidable. There is a Board of Directors, a
roster of general oﬁccrs, thirteen vice
