N. E. A. LOYALTY -he ardent supporters of the K. N. E. A. are requested at this season to show their loyalty to the organization by sending their an- nual fees of one dollar each for 1932 enrollment. As explained in the last issue of the Journal, the K. N. E. A. is without funds to pay for its publications and clerical work. Our only solution to the prob- lem is to have the principals of our schools urge their respective teachers to enroll several months earlier than usual. Individuals all over the state are requested to take seriously this appeal and mail at once their dollars to the K. N. E. A. Secretary, A. S. Wilson, 1925 W. Madison Street, Louisville, Ky. Nearly one hundred teachers have already responded to this call and it is hoped that at least five hundred will immediately follow the example which has been set. The Board of Directors of the K. N. E. A., at a, recent meeting in Louisville, added their sanction to this special request and join the secretary in making this special plea. *** * * $**** ROSENWALD This issue of the Journal makes a special feature of Rosenwald Day. One of the chief objectives in the annual observance of Rosen- wald Day in Kentucky is to keep before friends of education the great service being done by Julius Rosenwald for Negro education. It is fitting that Kentucky show annually its gratitude to this great bene- factor of the Negro race through a special issue of the K. N. E. A. Journal. The K. N. E. A. takes pleasure in calling general attention to a recent award made Mr. Rosenwald. For unselfish, helpful service to his city, state, and nation, Julius Rosenwald was made the recipient of the first of three merit awards sponsored by the Rotary Club of Chicago. The award was created by the club to give recognition to distinguished service by Chicago citizens. The award was in shape of an engrossed scroll for Mr. Rosenwald personally and a bronze plaque to be placed in the Museum of Science and Industry in Jackson park and a perpetual memorial to his achieve- ments. The plaque bears the following inscription: "For his personal integrity and responsibility of power in the social and industrial order. For his constant effort in the creation of opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, color or accident of birth. For his endowments and participation in service to all fields of local and national education, and including farm colonization in oppressed regions abroad, Negro schools, housing betterments, hos- pitals, universities. For his faith in the permanence and progress of truth to inspire mankind in the achievement of the highest ideals, and the most effective service to society." 2 ILLITERACY The statistics of illiteracy presented as a result of the Fifteenth Census show that there is a steady decrease in the Negro illiterates of the United States, in the population ten years of age and over. In 1900 the percentage of illiteracy was 44.5; dropping to 30.4 in 1910, and 22.9 in 1920. As a result of the tabulation of the returns taken as of April 1, 1930, the total Negro population ten years of age and over is shown at 9,292,556 with 1,513,892 illiterates, or a percentage of 16.3, a decline of 6.6 per cent. In 1920 the total was 8,053,225, with 1,842,161 illiterates or 22.9 per cent. On April 1, 1930 there were 98,723,047 persons 10 years of age and over in the population of the United States, of which number 4,283,753, or 4.3 per cent, were returned as illiterate, that is, not able to read and write, either in English or in any other language. Of the total, 2,407,218 were white, 1,513,892 were Negroes, and 362,643 were of other races. ** * * * * * *8 OUR STATE SCHOOLS Elsewhere In this Journal will be found an outline of the program of the K. N. E. A. legislative committee for 1932. It will be noted that an effort is being made to have the two state schools placed on a permanent financial basis, similar to the other institutions for white persons in Kentucky. The latter institutions receive a definite amount e-ach month from the inheritance tax and road tax funds. State schools for Negroes desire a similar consideration and it is believed that our legislators will join hands with others in authority to insure such an adjustment. In addition to the above desire concerning our state in- stitutions, the Negro teachers and friends of education are anxious that our state Institutions be removed from politics. The white nor- mal schools tof Kentucky and the University of Kentucky are not af fected by changes in the state administration and there is no reason for our colored schools to figure so prominently in a political way. We can not do effective work in educating the Negro youth of our state until the presidents of our state institutions for Negroes feel unhamp- ered and unmolested by political influence in the pursuit of their duties toward raising these institutions to the proper standard and toward maintaining the proper type of educational -program. We speaking the sentiment of the vast majority of the Negro teachers of Kentucky, request the Governor and all those concerned to remove our state schools from politics and allow us to continue the progress which we are making under the efficient leadership which we now have. IN MEMORIAM JULIUS !ROSENWALD Died January 6, 1932 Philanthropist and Benefactor of the Negro Race I I , * .~~~~~ Our 1932 Convention Program At a meeting of the K. N. E. A. Board of Directors in Louisville on Saturday, December 5, 1931, a tentative outline of the 1932 convention program was approved. The K. N. E. A. is to meet in Louisville, Kentucky, April 13 to 16, 1932, at the Central High School building, and the C. M. E. Church or Quinn Chapel. The first session will be the Principals' Conference, at 3:00 P. M. on the opening day, Wednesday, April 13. This program is to be under the supervision of Prof. R. D. Roman, of Shelbyv'lle. The eve- ning program will be preceded by a musical and contest of Ken- tucky high school musical or- ganizations, this part of the pro- gram ending at 8:30 P. M. After the usual welcome and response to welcome, there will be an ad- dress by an outstanding woman of our race -on an educational* topic. The Thursday morning pro- gram will include a special edu- cational address by Dr. W. A. Cook, of the University of Cin- cinnati, and a report of the acti- vities of the K. N. E. A. Legisla- tive Committee. There will also be discussed other matters of vital interest to the K. N. E. A. On the afternoon of Thursday, April 14, there will be sectional meetings of the various depart- ments of the K. NM E. A. The Thursday evening program will include music by our state col- leges and probably a debate be- tween the West Kentucky Indus- trial College and Kentucky State Industrial College on a subject of educational interest to all Ken- tucky teachers. Following this feature, there will be a special address by Dr. W. Y. Bell, of Gammon Theological Seminary, of Atlanta, .Georgia. On Friday, April 15, there will be sectional meetings of the va- rious departments of the K. N. E. A., chief among which will be a session of the TElementary Elu- cation Department in which the annual tate spelling contest will Le the ~in.ni feati re. There wisll also be a specia. entertainment for the -isdting tea.'hers at a local theatre. On the afternoon of the same day, there will be a Fourth General Session of the K. N. E. A., in which Mr. J. H. Rich- mond, the new Superintendent of Instruction will be invited to make an address. There will also be a prominent educator of our race on this program. The Friday night program will be at the Jefferson County Armory, this program to include a pageant by the pupils of the colored schools of Louis- ville and to be followed by a gen- eral social for all the teachers. The Saturday morning session will be given over to one main ad- dress, reports of committees, and such business as might come be- fore the general group. President Anderson and the secretary of the K. N. E. A. desire every head of a department to arrange up-to- date sessions and have plans to make this year's convention pro- gram one of the best in the his- tory of the K. N. E. A. 4 Special K. N. E. A. Announcements As indicated elsewhere in this Journal, each county or city sys- tem is invited to enter a stag'e spelling contest. Already, several counties rand systems bave stated tVat they would havee 8 represen- tative at Louisville for the final contest on A ril 15. - The Board of Directors of the K. N. E. A. have decided not'to feature a "State Oratorical Con- test" for 1931-32 because of the fact that too few Congressional Districts have taken part in the last two years. On Friday, April 15, 1932, the K. N. E; A. will feature a Pageant and Athletic Exhibit, followed by a social. Prof. J. S. Cotter of Louisville, has offered prizes for a walking contest in which the various schools of the city would have entries. It is probable that the educational pageant that will make up part two of the program, will feature the celebration of the Bi-centennial of George Wash- ington. The Board of Directors of the .K. N. E. A., after a careful study of the situation, have decided not to offer prizes for Literary and Industrial Exhibits at the 1932 convention. This decision was reached (1) because of a lack of funds due to the bank closing with the entire treasury of the K. N. E. A., (2) because too few schools had exhibits last year and (3) be cause some schools have declined to bring exhibits this year on ac- count of the extra expense of transportation. Any school which would display an exhibit even though prizes are not offered is asked to advise the secretary of the K. N. E. A. at once, so that space may be planned for same. It is probable that some commer- cial exhibits will be featured that will be of educational value to the teachers. A health exhibit will also be featured by the Louisville Public schools. Exhibits will be displayed in the Central High School gymnasium as heretofore. The various committees of the K. N. E. A. as outlined recently by President Anderson, are re- quested to plan meetings at the 1932 convention and to make a report of their activities of the year to the general association. A conference of French and Latin teachers in the various high schools and colleges of the state will be called to meet at a place and time to be announced in the general program. * * * * Prof. E. Poston and several ot- hers have been added to the K. N. E. A. legislative committe. Re- vised lists of all committees will appear in the next Journal. While the president of the K. N. E. A. is elected annually, it is customai"y for a president to. serve two years. It is therefore prob- able that the election of officers will not be a major feature of the 1932 session, this being the end of President Anderson's first year. All other officeis, including the 5 present secretary-treasurer, will be candidates for re-election. The latter announcement met the ap- proval of the K. N. E. A. directors and president of the K. N. E. A. at a meeting in Louisville on Sat- urday, December 5, 1931. The Music Department of the K. N. E. A. will feature a contest among the various quartets of high schools in the state. Those schools which plan to bring a music organization for this pro- gram which is planned for Wed- nesday, April 13, are requested to -write Miss R. L. Carpenter or the K. N. E. A. secretary concerning their coming. Details will then be sent you about the type of song: etc. OUR CRIPPLED CHILDREN The problem of the crippled child is an extensive one, involv- ing the interests and necessitating the co-operation of many agencies. Briefly, it may be sub-divided under the four headings of: 1. Locating the crippled child. 2. Furnishing corrective treat- ment for the crippled child. 3. Educating the crippled child. 4. Placing the crippled child in his proper place in the community. The first of these needs calls for surveys and publicity to find the crippled child, prove to his parents the need for his examina- tion, and reveal to the public the number of crippled children in each community. The second calls for efficient hospitals, surgical, and after-care facilities, to give the crippled child as normal a body as possible. The third calls for recognition -on the part of the public and edu- cational agencies of the need Qf the crippled child for a specialized type of education, which cannot be gained through the regular public school system designed for normal children. It further calls for the establishment of special facilities within reach of all phy- sically handicapped children in the State. The fourth calls for the provision of vocational training. and psycho- logical study Ode every crippled child, with a view of making him a producer instead of a dependent. In Kentucky the work for crip- pled children has progressed along thoe first two lines a m o n g white children, same being spon- sored by the Kentucky Crippled Children Commission. However, there are a few colored childre- who are being cared for in the Red Cross Sanitarium at Louis- ville. Dr. W. T. Merchant, who is quite interested in this phase of work, has suggested to the K. N. E. A. the possibilities of a more extensive program along this line. Last year the various teachers of colored schools in Kentucky were asked to co-operate in the matter of locating the crippled child. A few responses were received, but in the main, the request. was not followed up. The K. N. E. A. sec- retary, therefore, suggests that teachers take a serious attitude in this matter and report to him the name of any colored crippled child, his address, and the nature of his affliction. A program sim- ilar to the one outlined above could be started. For detailed in- formation as to the possibilities of educating our colored crippled children, it is suggested that you communicate with Dr. W. T. Mer- chant, Red Cross Sanitarium, Lou. isville. Kentucky-The Editor. 6 Our Annual Spelling Contest Announced The Sixth Annual State Spelling Contest will be held at the K. N. E. A. convention on Friday, April 15, at 9:30 a.nm., under the au- spices of the Elementary Educa- tion Department of which Mrs. Lucy H. Smith is chairman. While this feature will not be on the gen- eral program it will nevertheless be an attractive feature of the meeting. An effort will be Brade to have the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times donate the prizes at the final contest. The K. N. E. A. will also conduct an elmination contest in Louisville and Jefferson County during March to select the local winner. In -Al contests an effort will be made to award lar- ger prizes than heretofore. A1l counties and cities are urged to plan elimination contests at once. Below is a list of the rules to govern the final contest at Louis- ville. They may also be used in elimination contest throughout the State. Rules for Spelling Contest 1. All pupils of the eight grade or lower grades in the state of Kentuckv are eligible. Each pu- pil must represent an educational unit, that is, a city system or coun- ty system. Local contests should be held to choose these entries. 2. A list of suggestive words is being published by the secretary of the K. N. E. A. to help! pre- pare pupils for the contest. 3. The words used in the final contest will be from the list in the K. N. E. A. Journal followed by any fifth to eighth grade words chosen from the State adopted spelling text. Final words will be chosen from any spelling book necessary to choose the winner. 4. Three judges from the vari- ous sections of Kentucky will have complete charge of the contest. Their decision on all questions will be final. 5. Every speller in a contest receives a new word and has one trial on it. No word is given a second time until the contest has been reduced to two contestants. 6. Spellers must drop out after misspelling one word (or two or more words, if so decided by the judges at the time of the contest. the number of entries to deter- mine this). 7. Contestants may request that a word be pronounced or defined before attempting to spell it. It is suggested that each contestant pronounce a word before attemp ing to spell it. 8. Any question relating to the spelling of a word shall be refer. red to the judges immediately. All protests must be made to the judges before a new word is given. 9. The county or school sending an entry to the contest will be responsible for the expenses tof the pupil to and from Louisville. 10. At least three major prizes will be awarded the spellers in the final match at Louisville.

Committee Meets Louisville, Kentucky, December 5, 1931. The Legislature Committee of the K. N. E. A. met on the above date in Louisville, Kentucky and after a careful study of the problems affecting all the youth of Kentucky and especially the education of Negro children, set forth the following major objectives, these ob- jectives to be the working basis of the K. N. E, A. Legislative Com- mittee for 1932 and to be our recommendations to thle legislative coni- mittee of the Kentucky Education Association. (1) That. we indorse a law to strengthen the county adminisration law by giving the county superintendents of schools, with the approval of the County Board of Education, increased authority in the adminis- tration of the school laws of the county, it being underc ood the sub. district trustee and the visitor be retained with nioF-. of his presenll -uties except that of the recommendation of teachers in thI loca' sehcol. (2) That we indorse a law providing for a higher standard of quali- fications for all elementary and high school teachers, and the placing of the issuance of all teachers' certificates be in the hands of the State Board of Education, said law to be drawn after a careful study of the whole problem of teacher training and certification. (3) That we indorse a law * roviding for the general introduction of free text books purchased by the State of Kentucky, provided that the statutes now creating our state school funds remain unehan-ed for this purpose and further provided that our present school funds be kept intact. (4) That the state legislature of Kentucky be petitioned to provide some means of placing our Negro state schools on permanent financial basis for maintainence. Under provisions of Article 4010 of Carrolls Kentucky Statutes the annual revenue of the State of Kentucky is 14 distributed to various institutions, boards, etc. Each State supported institution for white people is given by this statute a definite per- centage for their support and erection of buildings, but the State sup- ported institutions for -colored people are not provided fior likewise. It is recommended that the Legislative Committee present to the 1932 General Assembly legislation which will make the State supported edu- cational institutions for colored people beneficiaries of the State's revenue on the same basis as the other institutions. (5) Finally, it is recommended that the Legislative Committee re- quest the 1932 General Assembly to increase the amounts of money usually appropriated to the Negro State Colleges on the ground that said amounts which have been received are most inadequate for the work which said institutions are called upon to perform, and has been inadequate over a prolonged period of years.

THE SUCCESSFUL TEACHER Many teachers never wake up enough to realize that they are failures, or perhaps they do not know what constitutes successful teaching. The following attitudes and conditions indicate failures: Do you dislike children and find them irritating and stupid? Do you continually lose patience with them? Are the children disobedient and impudent? Are they idle and inattentive? Is there general confusion and disorder in your room throughout the day? Do you continually scold your pupils? Do you call them up to recite the lesson you assigned them on the previous day and "keep them in after school" to prepare it be- cause it is unlearned? Do you fail to plan your work definitely? Do you find that you do not know what topics are to be dis- cussed until you take the book from some pupil after the class has been called? Do you leave the schoolroom with a sense of utter weariness and futility, too tired even to think of plans for the next day? If you answer many of the above questions in the affirmative you are not a successful teacher. It is up to you to right about face and improve your technique. If you cannot change conditions you should change occupations. 15 Negro Growth Rate Increases Racial classification of the United States population was recently announced by the Census Bureau, showing marked gain in Negro growth rate and a slight loss in white growth rate. During the last decade, the Negroes increased by 13.6 per cent as compared with 6.5 per cent in the ten years previous. The white race increased by 14.8 per cent as compared with 16 per cent the decade before: Comparative figures were given as follows: Color or Race Jan. 1, 1920 Apr. 1, 1930 White ............................. 94,820,915 108,864,207 Negro . ............................ 10,463,4131 11,891,143 Mexican ........................... 700,541 1,422,533 Indian .............................. 244,437 832,397 Chinese ......................... ... 61,639 74,954 Japanese .......................... 111,010 138,834 Filipino.............................. 5,603 45,208 Hindu ............................ 2,507 3,130 Korean .............................. 1,224 1,860 All other ............... 154 780 Even when adjustment was made for the approximately 700,000 Mexican population counted as "white" in 1920, the percentage of increase for the white population was but 15.7 per cent in 1930. The Census Bureau said the white decline obviously was due to the falling of the birth rate and the restriction of immigration. Nearly two-thirds of the entire Negro increase took place in the North, and the Census Bureau assumed that large numbers of Southern Negroes immigrated northward. However, the Negroes in the Southern States increased by 5 per cent. SIXTY CENTS BUYS ONE DAY'S EDUCATION FOR CITY CHILD Sixty cents buys one day's education for a child in the average city public school. This fact is disclosed by the figures presented in "Per Capita Costs in City Schools," a biennial study prepared by the Office of Education, Department of the Interior. Statistics from a represen- tative group of American cities show that the total average annual cost per child for teacher's service for nine months, for heat, janitor service, and, in most instances, school supplies, books, and library facilities, is $108.87. Since instruction costs, which include teachers' salaries, books, and the library, make up three fourths of total school costs, the city child gets the service of trained teacers and useful textbooks for ap- proximately 47 cents per day or 8 cents per hour. 16 K. N. E. A. Kullings Supt. H. W. Peters, of Christian County, has reported a one hun- dred per cent enrollment for his colored teachers in the K. N. E. A. for 1932. This is the largest county of colored teachers in Kentucky and sets an example for the counties in the matter of advance enrollment in the K. N. E. A. Mr. C. W. Merriweather, of Hopkinsville, was the first indi- vidual to enroll in the K. N. E. A. for 1932. It is hoped that many others will follow his example. Supt. G. Louis Hume, of Tay- lorsville, reports that the teachers of Spencer County have voted to immediately enroll one hundred *per cent in the K. N. E. A. * ** * News for the Fourth District, of which Prof. R. L. Dowery is Organizer, states that Mrs. Mary C. Henry, who has been a teacher at Hardinsburg for seventeen years, -recently passed away. She is succeeded by Mrs. George C. Williams. Mrs. M. A. Hamilton, who formerly taught at Elizabeth- town, is now at the Western High School at Paris. The Fourth Dis- trict teachers are now planning a one hundred per cent enroll- ment in the K. N. E. A. The first ten states in Negro population are: Georgia, 1,071,- 125; Mississippi, 1,009,718; Ala- bama, 944,'834; North Carolina, 918,647; Texas, 845,964; South Carolina, t'93,681; L o u i s i a n a 776,326; Virginia, 650,165; Ar- kansas, 478,463; and Tennessee, 477,646. According to The Crisis, 1,980 Negroes received degrees or diplo- mas during the collegiate year 1930-31, out of a total of 18,500 students enrolled in the colleges throughout the nation. * * * C In 1931 more than 2,000,000 colored students were in Southern schools with 125,00.0 of them in high schools and more than 13,000 n colleges, universities and teach- ers' colleges. Prof. W. M. Lee, a graduate of Hampton Institute, is now prin- cipal of the Colored High S' .'ool at Madisonville. Prof. P. Moore is now prin- cipal of the Western High School at Paris. Many of our prominent Negro educators from all over the State were in Louisville on Saturday, December 4, attending various committees of the K. N. E. A. Among the committees to meet were the "Legislative," "Co-op- eration with K. E. A.," and "Re- search" committees. The Western Kentucky Prin- cipals held a conference at Earl- ington on November 28, 1931. A very splendid program. was ar- ranged and well executed. Prof. E. T. Buford of Bowling Green is president and Prof. G, R. Dailey of Earlington, is secretary of the organization. 17 The Challenge of Physical and Health Edcuation By Gladys M. Jameison A. B., Howard University; M. A., Columbia University. Associate Professor of Physical Edu- cation; K. S. I. C. Objectives of the American Physical Education Association, 1931: 1. A medical examination for every school child. 2. Health habits that endure. 3. A class period in physical education every day. 4. A gymnasium and playground for every school. 5. The physical e d u c a t i o n teacher. 6. The athletic coach a member of the faculty. 7. A graded and scientific cur- riculum in physical education. 8. Standardized physical ac- hievement tests. 9. Positive credit for physical education work. 10. Education for leisure. 11. An Intramural program in athletics. 12. A varsity program that stres- ses sportsmanship and ethical con- duct. 13. Opportunities for scouting and camperaft. 14.. Equipped and supervised summer playgrounds. 15. Provision f or wholesome adult recreation. In the foregoing list of objec- tives are embodied the funda- metal and cardinal principles, aims, and standards of Physical and Health Education. They were formulated by the most outstanding educators inthe field in an attempt to standardize and give solidarity to a group which heretofore has been va- riously dubbed "physical culture teacher," "physical training ia- structor", "Athletic coach," "gym- nastic director," "leader of calls- thenics," and so on, with little or no regard for the true status of the profession. For many years the monastic ideal of medieval Europe per- meated the Western world even to the shores of Colonial America to the extent that games and ex- ercises of all kinds were rigidly frowned upon with disapproval. At Princeton University as late as a hundred years ago students were expelled for playing ball of any sort! One needs only to glance at the reports of our present day athle- tic contests which are operated on a millions of dollars annual budget to realize f hat the pendu- lum has swung in the opposite di- rection. It is with a view to al- leviating the extreme condition now existing that we address this paper. I do not fully agree with those Who would abolish college sports on a competitive basis. I am a firm believer in the varsity sys- tem, but not when every dollar that can be squeezed from a mea- ger fund is allotted to the fpub- licizing of the eleven, five or nine men of a football, basketball, or baseball team. It is true that the less successful athletes are unsel- fishly proud of their teams, and have seldom in the past asked for '18 more than was left over from the varsity, but the tide of public opinion began to turn. The boys and girls who could never make good athletes were regarded as worth while after all, and the wise administrators began to [provide competent instructors in the va- rious branches of physical educa- tion, dancing, calisthenics, ap- paratus work, tumbling, and pyra- midbuilding, and the various athletic games. From that splendili idea of acti- vity for everybody, then the de- velopment of a first team came our *present system of inter-class or inter-club activities on a com- petitive basis. tt cannot sanely and logically be contended that only the football star is so im- portant in the large scheme of life as to warrant the neglect or careless attention to his less pro- ficient school mate. The lessons that competition in athletics teach are necessary to all boys and girls, not to the few who make teams. The health at- titudes and habits which are formed are just as essential for the scrub as for the All-American. In short, whatever our schools offer by way. of a physical educa- tion and athletic program can only be considered sound, worthy, and justifiable when measured by the objectives as outlined in this dis- cussion. Otherwise, athletics for the few, and not the many de- deat their own ends, fail to per- petuate the democratic ideal of equality, of opportunity, and fin- ally, clearly, and mercilessly throw the spot-light of criticism on the commericial spirit that motivates the so-called amateur athletics. A word in passing should be said in regard to a suggested program of activity for the school which hitherto has confined itself to supporting various school teams. First, by all means, a regular teaching period of at least one full length period per day should be devoted to supervised physical activity. In some instances, a school finds it impossible to em- ploy a full time teacher for this work only. In such cases, some- one who has done special work in physical education and is able. in addition, to teach an academic subject should be given this work. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity for trained leadership in this field. Too long has any and every active young teacher been told to take charge of physical education regardless of his or her complete ignorance of the work. The point to be remembered here is that it is a definite subject like mathematics, science, etc., and requires definite and specialized preparation. Cer- tain courses in body structure, physiology of exercise, methods, Practice teaching, first aid, etc., are among those that are abso- lutely indispensable to anyone who can be safely trusted with the health of the children in his care. The foremost leaders in edu- cation recognize the necessity for recognition of physical education as a standar subject, for credit and towards graduation, of re- quiring of its teachers the same high standards as govern other subjects, of giving to it adequate time in the school day, of providing for it adequate equip- ment and facilities, of requiring some form of physical activity for every student, or providing 19 competitive athletics on the lower as well as the upper levels. When this is done, our defini- tion of Perfect health as the "abundance,- soundness, a n d -wo-thin-css of life that enables us .o live mnost and serve best" will ka- e been achieved. Third District Teachers Meet The Third Congressional Dis- trict Teachers Association met in Russellville on October 30-31, 1931. A very instructive pro- gram was outlined and executed under the direction of H. E. Goodlue, of Russellville, who was president. A feature of the meet- ing was the organization of a dis- trict parent-teacher association, same being directed by Mrs. Essie D. - Mack, the state president. There were enrolled, 112 teachers, allmost all the teachers in the dis- trict and the greatest number in the history of the Association. New officers were elected as fol- lows: Mrs. H. V. Taylor, Presi- dent, Central City; Mrs. Nannie Sweatt, Vice-President, Russell- ville; Ml s. Iola Morrow, Secretary, Elkton; Mrs. Electra Goodloe, Treasurer, Russellville. As President and K. N. E. A. Organizer, Prof. Goodloe has done splendid work in his district. He now plans to co-operate with Mrs. H. V. Taylor, the new president, whom it is expected will be equally as active in meeting the needs of the teachers of -her dis- trict. The K. N. E. A. seeks her co-operation and wishes her suc- cess in her new office. CUT OUT AND MAIL WITH ONE DOLLAR 1932 ENROLLMENT BLANK KENTUCKY NEGRO EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION A. S. Wilson, Sect'y, 1925 W.

Whose Schools? 1. Whose duty is it to educate the children of Kentucky? It is the duty of the State. 2. Who is the State? The State is everybody in the State, just as a class is every- .body in the class. 3. Who makes all our school -laws? The State does, the people of the State. 4. Do the people all get together and all write each law? No, we set up a special agency through which to write them. 5. What is the agency through which we make our laws? It is the legislature. 6. What are State laws? They are rules that we make for our general good. 7. Do the people, the State, have a special agency to do other things for our general good? We do. 8. What is the State's agency for carrying on our schools? Boards of education are special agencies for carrying on our schools. 9. How many boards of education have we? We now have one States board of education, 120 county boards, 67 city boards, 196 graded district boards and seven college boards. 10. Are these 391 boards enough? They are too many. One for the State at large and one for each county would be better. A hand with too many fingers works awkwardly. 11. Do our schools belong to these boards? Each school belongs to all the people of the State, just as the court house belongs to the people of the county. 12. Did all of us pay for our schools? The wealth of the State is taxed to build and run our schools. All who work help create the wealth, and those who have it pay the taxes. 13. Do people throughout Kentucky pay money to help run this school? Yes, we do, everywhere in Kentucky. 14. Do people who have no children pay? They do. 15. Why do people who don't know us pay money to run our schools? They do it Fecause we all need to have everybody be a good honest, healthy, unselfish citizen. 16. Does it pay to run good schools in all parts of the State? It does. Other people will not be safe unless we are honest, and we cannot be healthy or happy unless they are. 17. Are elementary schools provided for all the children in Kentucky? Our laws require that elementary schools be kept in walking distance of all the children or that they be transported to school. 18. Are high schools prvided for all the children in Kentucky? Our laws require that high schools be maintained in all the counties or the children transported to high schools ir other counties. 19. Are colleges provided for all the people of Kentucky? They are. The State maintains five colleges for white people and two for colored people. 20. Are our colleges accredited? Yes, our State College at Frankfort has been accredited -this year for the first time in history as a standard four-year col- lege. It is accredited by the State College Accrediting Com- mittee and by the Southern Association. 29 ROSENWALD PASSES AWAY THROUGH HIS WORK (Article from Louisville Times) valued at $30,000,000, but reduc- Julius Rosenwald, shortly before his death Wednesday, January 6, 1932 called his five children to his bedside and charged them with the task of carrying on his philan- thropies. Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, in making this disclosure, said that more than $10,000,000 would be expended in completing t h e benevolent projects of one of the world's most generous philan- thropists. Embree said the late chairman of Sears, Roebuck & Co. left prac- tically his entire estate to his chil- dren, who recently formed the Rosenwald Family Association in preparation for the trust. Among the sums set aside by the will, Embree said, were: A sum of $250,000 to Beirut University, in Syria; an additilona3I bequest to the Julius Rosenwald Fund, endowed in 1917 with stock ed by gifts and market losses to about $6,,000,000; an additional gift to the Museum of Science and Industry here to supplement a previous $5,000,000 gift; half of the sum remaining to be paid to- ward colonization of Jews in Rus- 'sian Crimea, toward which he pledged $5,000,000; Mr. Rosen- wald's share of two-fifths of the University of Chicago's $5,000,- 000 dormitory program. Embree said he asked his chil- dren to continue his offer of $500,000 to the National Academy of Sciences, conditional upon the raising of $5,000,000, and an of- fer of $1,000,000 he made to the 'City of Berlin several months -ago for a children's dental clinic, if Berlin provides for its mainten- ance. Lessing J. Rosenwald, his eldest son, said he may succeed his father as chairman of the board of Sears, Roebuck & Co. 30 Patronize Those Who Advertise in the K. N. E. A.

Addenda THE BRIDGE BUILDER An old man going on a lone highway Came at evening-cold and gray To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side- And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide- Why build this bridge at EVENTIDE?. The builder lifted his old gray head; "Good friend, in the path I have come,". he said, There follows after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair haired youth may a pit-fall be; He too must cross in the twilight dim- Good friend, I'm building this bridge for him." ANON. A WORKING SUGGESTION TO THE MEETING By Mr. S. L. Smith, Director of the J. R. Fund The Fund has co-operated with fifteen southern states in building more than 5,000 schools in which 15,000 teachers are employed. The projecting of plans and building these schools represent an unusually fine co-operation of: -(1) local school officials, (2) the Negroes them- selves, (3) local white friends, (4) state departments of education, (5) the Julius Rosenwald Fund, and (6) not infrequently the Jeanes and Slater Funds and the General Education Board. Since 4,000 of these schools have been in use more than three years, no doubt many of them are in need of repairs-and repainting to prolong the lives of the buildings and keep up their functional uses by interior painting and equipment. I am sure several have been materially improved from time to time, but a great many are now in immediate need of attention. It would seem to be good from the standpoint of economy and edu- cational practices to undertake a carefully prepared and well timed campaign over a period of years to improve the physical conditions of these buildings, including the beautifying of the grounds. This might well be started on the Rosenwald School Day and continued indefi- nitely. The State Supervisor of School Buildings (J. W. Brooker, Frankfort,) can be most helpful in preparing suggestions for improve- ments and no doubt would be willing to assist you in carrying on this phase of the work. Repair and Repaint every school built more than three years back. Make careful survey with the superintndent, with estimate of costs.. Get the advice of the building agent as to any extensive changes. BE HAPPY (Recite in Concert three times, the teacher first, then the school with him, then everybody, with heavy emphasis as indicated.) The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others happy. Mr. Taylor wants you to be trained to recite this motto when he visits you. START NOW PLANNING YOUR ROSENWALD-LINCOLN DAY PROGRAM.

Postcard Expo in Watertown on Saturday
(Collection of Kathy Alpert, Watertown)
Before text messages, before e-mail, before telephones, there was a quick and cheap way to transmit a message: postcards.
Postcards are widely considered the third-most popular collectible -- after stamps and coins -- in the United States, although more for the image on the front than the message scrawled on the back.
On Saturday, enthusiasts from across New England will converge on the Armenian Educational & Cultural Center in Watertown for the Bay State Postcard Collectors Club's 58th annual sale and show.
Nearly 50 dealers are expected to display their cards for several hundred collectors, both serious and casual, organizers said.
The interesting thing about postcards, said Watertown artist Kathy Alpert, is that their value is primarily in the mind of the collector.
"It's not always about rarity, it can be a lot of things, like history, sentimental value, the way some people feel about certain things or places. There's a real emotional element to it."
The Bay State Postcard Collectors Club's 58th annual show and sale is scheduled for Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Armenian Educational & Cultural Center, 47 Nichols Ave. in Watertown. Admission is $2. Parking is free.

For several months now, Canadians have been near-oblivious to a full-fledged French election being waged right under their noses. Canada's French expats have always voted in French presidential elections, but on June 9, for the first time in history, the 200,000 Frenchmen and Frenchwomen of Canada and the United States will elect their own representative to the French National Assembly. In preparation, 18 candidates ranging from Communists to far-right nationalists have been attending parades, shaking hands, and breaking bread in a constituency 20 times larger than France itself. Tristin Hopper offers nine things you should know about the French election in Canada:
Candidates are campaigning in one of the largest electoral ridings in human history
1 The Canada/United States riding is known officially as the "First constituency for French residents overseas," and is one of 11 international constituencies that were mapped out by French officials in 2010. At 20 million square kilometres, the first constituency's size is surpassed only by the 11th constituency, which includes 49 countries stretching from Turkey to New Zealand. Naturally, First Constituency candidates face a long campaign trail. French Socialist candidate Corinne Narassiguin started the month in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and by May 21 had swung through Houston, Nashville, Washington D.C., New Orleans, Los Angeles and more than half a dozen cities in the midwest. Before France carved the planet into 11 pieces, the largest-constituency title belonged to Nunavut, the two million square kilometre home riding of Canadian Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq.
Two Canadians are in the running. If elected, they will be the first
to sit in a French parliament since the Second World War
2 Marthe Simard, a Quebec-based Free French campaigner, was appointed to Charles De Gaulle's French provisional government in Algiers, simultaneously becoming the first French woman to sit in French government, and the last Canadian to do so. Two Canadians are hoping to break her record: Christophe Navel, running as an independent, and Stéphanie Bowring, running for the Radical party of the left which, despite its name, is quite centrist. Most of the other candidates are Americans, with the notable exception of Frédéric Lefebvre, the candidate for Nicholas Sarkozy's UMP party, who was parachuted in from Paris. However, the ballot is packed with plenty of Canadian running mates (suppléantes). Every candidate elected to the French National Assembly brings along a running mate to take their place if they resign, die or are otherwise incapacitated — sort of like a personal vice-president.
The Harper government hates it
3 Of the 191 countries hosting French ballot boxes on June 9, Canada is the only one that has raised a fit. In January, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced its intention to shut down the vote, arguing that it undermined Canadian sovereignty. "No authorization has been given to France to permit it to include Canada in an extraterritorial electoral district," Joseph Lavoie, press secretary to John Baird, said at the time. To get around the ban, the French have simply located their polling places on French government property: consulates, French schools and embassies. If the roles were reversed, Canadian expats would likely be marking a ballot at Vimy Ridge, which is officially Canadian soil.
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is intentionally keeping his distance
4 As a dual citizen of France and Canada, Mr. Mulcair is a constituent of the newly created First Constituency. Regardless, presumably in an effort to dodge Conservative attacks on his perceived loyalty, the Ottawa-born politician has made it clear he will not endorse a candidate or mark a French ballot. However, the NDP leader did give Mr. Hollande a congratulatory phone call after his victory over Mr. Sarkozy.
Backup candidate François Lubrina, a Montreal-based
dog supplier to former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, has jumped ship for an independent
5 During the 2007 and 2012 French presidential elections, Dr. Lubrina served as the official Quebec representative for then president Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP party. He also provided the president's dog, a Quebec-born Labrador named Clara. On May 15, in one of the campaign's most visible shakeups, Dr. Lubrina ditched his support for UMP candidate Frédéric Lefebvre in order to back right-leaning independent candidate Julien Balkany, for whom he is serving as suppléante. Dr. Lubrina told the Post he was worried Mr. Lefebvre was spending much of the campaign in France, and feared the riding would fall to the Socialists. "To make mayonnaise, the egg has to be at the same temperature as the oil — and Mr. Lefebvre is not at the same temperature as his constituents," Dr. Lubrina said.
The riding is leaning Socialist, and it's because of Montreal
6 As expected, the North American race is turning into a faceoff between left-leaning Montreal and right-leaning New York City. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a prominent French socialist, probably did the most to sully the French Socialist brand in the U.S. after he was brought up on false rape charges involving a New York chamber maid last May. Nevertheless, with 50,000 registered voters — and an excellent voter turnout record — Montreal is routinely one of the most important non-European French electoral districts. After Quebecers voted 58% in favour of Socialist presidential candidate François Hollande, Quebec is expected to hand an easy victory to Ms. Narassiguin, a New York banker. In France, by the way, the terms "right wing" and "left wing" have literal connotations. In the French National Assembly, as per Revolutionary tradition, conservatives are asked to sit to the right while liberals, socialists — and the occasional communist — are asked to sit to the left.
Far-right candidate Claire Savreux is in an unenviable position:
pitching an anti-immigrant platform to immigrants
7 Floridian Claire Savreux is hoisting the banner for the Front National, an anti-euro and anti-immigration party, which, Ms. Savreux asserts, is slowly extending its reach abroad. Nevertheless, the political novice has already broken from the official party line on some topics. In April, Front National leader Marine Le Pen said that if she became president, she would forbid dual nationality, except for French-speakers from other European countries. "I'm personally concerned on that point," Ms. Savreux told the website French Morning. "That should really be discussed with Marine, because we would be left hanging."
Tax exiles have their day
8 By hosting one of the world's highest tax rates, France has spawned a robust world community of tax exiles and tax evaders — all of whom have seen their power as a voting bloc increase significantly. In his final days as president, Mr. Sarkozy pledged to crack down on the practice, although after his first meeting with U.S. president Barack Obama, Mr. Hollande told a crowd of French expatriates in Washington that he had no plans to hunt down tax exiles in the U.S. capital. One of France's most famous is Johnny Hallyday, pictured, a rocker who rose to fame in the 1960s by singing French-language covers of Elvis and Jimi Hendrix. Recently, just as Mr. Hallyday mounted a Los Angeles stage to kickoff a comeback tour, the French newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné revealed that the performer owed nine million Euros in back taxes. A friend and former supporter of Mr. Sarkozy, Mr. Hallyday nevertheless told Agence France-Presse that this election cycle, he would not "get mixed up publicly in politics."
This is only the beginning …
9 International constituencies are not much of a stretch for France, which has never been shy about giving parliamentary seats to its far-flung territories. For instance, St. Pierre et Miquelon, the French islands off the south coast of Newfoundland, are one of the few French ridings held by the Radical Party of the Left. Nevertheless, international representatives have been serving in the parliament of Italy since 2006, and with Spanish, Irish, Greeks and Portuguese now leaving in droves to escape economic hardship, more governments may consider giving their Diasporas a seat in government. Canada's policy on expatriate voters, by contrast, is quite rigid: Residents who have been out-of-country for more than five years automatically lose their suffrage. The Tories may be passing up an excellent opportunity for gerrymandering. When Mr. Sarkozy backed the creation of the overseas districts in 2010, Le Monde newspaper noted that 80% of the new districts would likely side with his party.

After a phone call from the minister of the interior of Berlin, the artistic director of the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, Kirsten Harms, canceled four performances of Mozart's Idomeneo. According to tagesschau.de the minister speaks of an "incalculable threat" for audiences and members of the staff. Apparently the minister informed her of an anonymous hint that the production will cause hostile and violent reactions among Islamists. The production by Hans Neuenfels features a scene in which Idomeneo displays the cut-off heads of Poseidon, Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed. This is a picture of the scene in question, taken during rehearsals in 2003. I took this image from tagesschau.de:
While it is certainly possible to dispute scenes like this on dramatic, aesthetic, moral, and religious grounds, I strongly oppose making any concessions to those who prefer to enforce their views by threatening and terrorizing their fellow human beings. There are many ways to show your discontent: you can not buy a ticket, you can criticize, or you can just wait until the new government of Berlin will close down the Deutsche Oper sometime soon.
PS: This story gets better and better. I just came about an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung revealing that the Deutsche Oper tried to cancel the shows clandestinely! Evidently they also sent out press releases urging the journalists to not spread these news. Here is the story (in German).

Evidence Requirements for Assignment of Social Security Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs to Foreign Academic Students in F-1 Status
Federal Register, September 13, 2004, Page 55065-55076
Social Security Administration
Final rules
SUMMARY: We are revising our rules for assigning SSNs to foreign academic students in Department of Homeland Security (DHS, which has
subsumed most of the various functions of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service or INS) classification status F-1 (referred to throughout this preamble as F-1 students). Specifically, we are requiring additional evidence for F-1 students who are applying for SSNs. Like all other applicants, an F-1 student must provide SSA with evidence of age, identity, immigration status, and work authorization. In addition, unless the F-1 student has an employment authorization document (EAD) from DHS or is authorized by the F-1 student's school for curricular practical training (CPT), the F-1 student must provide evidence that he or she has been authorized by the school to work and has secured employment or a promise of employment before we will assign an SSN. These rules will further enhance the integrity of SSA's enumeration processes for assigning SSNs by reducing the proliferation of SSNs used for purposes that are not related to work and thereby decreasing the potential for SSN fraud and misuse.
These regulations are effective October 13, 2004

My first girl friend lived down the street from me. Her family had horses and we would take them out and ride up into the hills above Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana, CA. That area was all green with a little stream running through. Those days were so long ago when I was in Elementary School that I have forgotten her name. I lost touch with her after I graduated. That area today is fully populated with very expensive homes.
When I was in High School in Canoga Park I had several girl friends. There were 4 of us who hung out together, Donna, Gene, (spelled like a boy), and Mary Lou, who spelled her name in 2 words, mine in one. We used to go to the beach together. And one summer afternoon we all bleached our hair blond.
My other friend in High School was Norma. She wanted to be an actress and took classes in acting and diction which caused her to speak differently from the rest of us. But she was talented. I remember she married a Mexican boy who carried on his family's traditions in which the male was King and the females obeyed the King's desires. That marriage didn't last, there were no children, and I lost touch with her after I married.
All of my friends of those years drifted away when I entered UCLA and we all got married.
Then, after my first child was born I became interested in joining the Native Daughters of the Golden West. I was one, after all. I met Betty on the night we were initiated and we clicked immediately. She was shy, as was I, and she was a talented artist. She created all sorts of things and urged me to develop what ability I had. She suffered from Shingles and tried to alleviate the pain by sitting in a bath tub full of warm water and baking soda. Her marriage was not a happy one and eventually she left her husband and married the man across the street who had been in love with her for years. They moved to Carson City, NV. Betty was my friend for more than 50 years. We corresponded and often spoke on the phone. Each time we called it was as if we had just talked the previous day. Betty died of lung cancer.
Then my husband and I began playing contract bridge and we met several people who became friends. One couple in particular was our partners in team games and although we played in tournaments together we didn't socialize in other ways. Then my husband died and they were my comfort through the worst of the next few years. But they separated and divorced. I still see Eve, but not often. We have known each other for more than 40 years.
Another group of friends I made during my years in the bridge world were Kay, Serene, Louise and Judy. They had all been BFFs for a long time so if I was included it was with all 4 of them. We had parties, including the husbands and my current date, went on rallies, and shared creative activities. I was closest to Kay. She and I would have a puzzle weekend occasionally. She would provide the jigsaw puzzle at her house on a Saturday afternoon, we worked on the puzzle, had dinner with wine, gabbed, and I would spend the night there. We could finish the puzzle on Sunday and I would go home.
When the 1994 Earthquake hit I was living within a mile of Kay's home. My townhouse was intact, but I was afraid to stay there alone so I spent 3 days at Kay and her husband's home. They had another couple also there for 3 weeks when their mobile home was burned to the ground and they had to find another place.
Kay introduced me to genealogy and helped me get started on searching for my ancestors. This turned into an obsession which still occupies my life. Kay and I began making yearly trips to Salt Lake City to do research and each time shared a room for a week. Then others joined us so that we usually had a group of 10-15 people who all helped each other with their research. We realized that all of us loved reading so we began meeting once a month for brunch and to exchange the books we have read and liked. This group is still ongoing. But I only see them once a month and have no other contact with them except an occasional email joke.
Some of the friends I met through bridge and genealogy are no longer living. Judy was the first to go from lung cancer. She was beautiful, extremely talented, generous, fun, and married to a bookie. Louise was intellectual, very active in the bridge world, and married to a man who had extreme food dislikes. Louise died from lung cancer. Serene, also a bridge player and married to a bridge player died from lung cancer. And my best friend, Kay, died from lung cancer.
I have no BFF. I do not have lung cancer. I am 86 years old and have outlived all my BFFs. I have a few new friends that may develop into BFFs, but I doubt it. I have a busy life, I don't like to drive anywhere, my legs are weak, and my back hurts all the time, so I am content to stay home except for the 3 times a month when I meet with the book group, the games and movie group, and one new gathering of 4 of us who play cards. It's enough. My BFF is my computer.


text: I have severe hammering in my water lines. This happens sometimes when flushing the toilet and it's filling up the closet, just turning on a tap at a low volume. I have tried draining the lines but to no avail. The only change that I know of is the local water folks installed a new meter. I'd like to gain some knowledge before I contact them if in fact this is a possibility. Thanks for any help.

1. Unless your top team are properly aligned nothing will happen. The key to doing this is creating an environment where they can argue well.
2. Behaviours are underpinned by assumptions. Get insight into the old assumptions that underpinned the old behaviours. Decide what new assumptions would need to be true to create the new behaviours. And then figure out how to start creating those new assumptions.
3. Discomfort is critical. You have got to create moments of truth or tension. Without these you will fail to create the energy or commitment needed for change.
4. People need to believe in the purpose of the change. They need to know why they are getting out of bed - and how it fits with both their personal purpose and the purpose of the organisation, this is particularly true (and possible) around the continuous cost transformation that most big businesses will need going forwards.
5. Coherence is critical. Focus your organisation's energy on one story, one story that weaves together and makes sense of a focussed set of priorities. What people can hold in their head, they can execute. Organisational shopping lists will fatally undermine any reinvention effort.
6. Momentum starts with proof points. Early wins create envy and envy creates pull.
7. If you are to deliver on your purpose and strategy in a disrupted world you need to be deliberate about your culture. Deliberate about what you retain and enhance/stretch from your cultural DNA - and equally deliberate about what you must leave behind.
8. Conscientious objectors are not the enemy. People need to be allowed to debate and disagree with the direction of change, this will hand ownership to the broader group and allow them to self moderate.
9. Segment your people by their mindset to change and ask 'why do they feel like this?'. By considering mindsets such as those that feel like 'hostages' of change and those that are 'on the fence' it will allow you to be more targeted in how you engage your people.
10. In times of crisis people collaborate brilliantly. They are all on a mission to achieve a particular goal. To truly get people to collaborate consider using missions and framing them in such a way that they have no choice but to get on board with the mission to survive.
