.THE 1934 CONVENTION

The K. N. E. A. will convene in Louisville for its 58th annual
session April 13—21, 1934.4 An outline of the prugrsm, now being
prepared, is shown elsewhere in this Journal. Teachers will note the
unusual type of program being arranged, especially, the outstanding
speakers to be heard this year. In addition to the program outlined,
leaders of various departments are arranging sectional meetings that
will prove directly beneficial to the class room teacher.

On Friday night during the meeting there will l'be a musicale
featuring artists of the slate and other extraordinary music attrac-
tions. On Saturday night, there will be given the Fourteenth Au-
nual Exhibition. Beside gymnastic numbers‘a‘nd special orchestral
music for the social period there will be a demolisn‘at‘un by the va—
rious drum and bugle corps of Louisville. A prize will he offered tire
best organization in the display.

The K. N. E. A. is also arranging to show a picture at the Lyric
Theatre Friday, April 20, free to enrolled teachers.

Another attractive feature of the meeting will he the annual
Spelling Bee which, this year, is receiving unusual interest. Many
counties have written for spelling lists and have announcedK the win-
ners in local contests. With such an elaborate pmgmm, teachers
should make deﬁnite plans to attend the K. N. E. A. ,meeﬁng this year.

Teachers are requested to enroll in advance and upon reporting
to the convention register and receive their badge. Membership cards
should be brought by each teacher to the convention. I'The officers of
the K. N. E. A. are preparing for 1200 teachers atlthe convention

this year.

SECTIONAL MEETINGS
Each teacher should plan to visit 8 Departmental Meeting of the
K. N. E. A. The ﬁrst meetings will be on Thursday afternoon of the
K. N. E. A. convention. The sections! meetings have been arranged
in the afternoons for the convenience of all. Ten departments will

have programs, five being on Thursday afternoon and five being .on
Frisky morning. ‘Dn each program there will be one or more out-
standing speakers. The K. N. E. A. is paying the speakers’ expenses
to Louisville for some of these speakers in order to make sectional
meetings more ecu-active. Read the program of these departments
and attend the one which you- feel will benefit you in your Work. For
professional improvement attend a sectional program

THE SPELLING BEE

The Annual State Spelling Bee will be on Friday morning of the

K. N. E. A. meeting in theYElementary School Department. Twelve

tions this will he largest spelling hee in the history of the K. N. E. A

Local elimination contests are being held throughout the State and the
winners will be in Louisville for the ﬁnale.

AUTO MECHANICS AT MAYSVlLLE

In a previous K, N. E. A Joumal, a picture of the John G. Fee
Industrial high school was shown. The building is modern through-
out and rep nts a camperatian between the local school authorities
and Rosenwalrl authorities. The school has among other departments,
on auto mechanics shop which is unusually successful and well con-
ducted. At present, about fifty students are taking auto mechanics in
the well~equipped shop, a picture of which is shown elsewhere in this
Journal. The boys receive training in acetylene welding and brazing.
They also study battery building and learn how to repair a car through-
out. Recently, a course in “Aviation Engines" has been given to the
senior class. The shop has received special mention from Mr, A. N.
May, Supervisor of Vocational Education in Kentucky Mr. J. E.
Mooreman is the instructor and Prof. W. H. Humphrey is the prin-

cipal of this school.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE N. A. T. C. S.

The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools seeks to
elevate the standard and status of teachers in colored schools. It aims
to improve the outlook of every Negro boy and girl in America
through better schools for the race. It stands for longer tonne,
teacher tenure and retirement pensions. it seeks to give the people
more light on their duties as citizens, and wise guidance in their
struggle for better living conditions and economic security. It seeks
to magnify the public school system as the bulwark of our democracy.

the colored‘ schools. Your membership in this burly will exhibit the
esprit e corps we will find valuable in ‘our life relationships There

are more than 50,000 teachers in colored schpols in America. This
Association is ﬁghting their battle. Gan yau aﬂ’ord Ito stand on the aide
lines and awept as alms the fmits at victories won by others? Join
and be i loyal booster of the National Associanﬁon of Teachers in

THE PRESENT CRISIS IN
EDUCATION
Schools closing

2,600 schools were closed on or
before January 1, 1934.

20,000 schools will mohably be
closed April 1, 1934.

Sohool budgets

Money spent on schools in 1933
34 will be $563,000,000 less than
in 1929~30.

Budget reductions in severa‘i
states range from 25 to 40 per
Ctnt.

lCity school budgets averaged 20
pe: cent less for 193534 than in
1931. ,

School building construction in
1933-34 is 75 per cent less than
in 1930.

Some public schools have gone
on a tuition basis, thus zeroing out
cilimren who cannot aﬁord to pay.
More work—fewer teachers

1,000,000 more pupils in high
schools than in 1930 but 40,000
fewer public school teachers in the
nation.

Teachers‘ salaries

200,000 teachers, 1 in even; 4,
receiving less than $750 annually
(amount paid factory hands under
the Blanket Code).

85,000 receiving less than $450
annually.

45,000 receiving less than $300
annually.

40,000 teachers owed $40,000,-
000 back pay.

Quality of education

Fewer teachers with more pupils
mean larger classes.

An average of 45 pupils
teacher in one state.

Kindergartens, music, art, play-
grounds and remation, evening

per

schools, adult classes, and other
essential services have been ser-
iously reduced or eliminated in
large numbers 01. cities.

ﬁsh: of textbooks is 3-0 per cent
less than. in 1930.

Many counties report that rural
teachers with lower qualiﬁcations
are being employed or are dis-
placing trained teachers.

EMERGENCY FEDERAL AID
FOR SCHOOLS
What is the Federal Government‘s
responsibility?

States and colllmunities must do
their part, but immediate assis-
tance from the Federal Government
is imperative if the present crisis
is to be met quickly and eﬂ’ectively.
Ha. a progron. for emergency

federal aid to education been
proposed?

Yes. By a committee represent-
ing 32 national organizations on-
terested in education which met at
the call of George F'. Zook, U. 5.
Commissioner of Education, under
the chairmanship of James N.
ltule, Pennsylvania State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. The
program was adopted January 6,
1934, at the final meeting of the
group in Washington.

What is the program?

1. An appropriation of $50,-
000,000 to help maintain schools
hug the school year 1933—34.

2. An appropriation of $100,-
000,000 to help maintain schools
during 1934735, the fund to be dis-
tributed upon the basis of reason-
able evidence of needs snu re-
sources.

3. An additional substantial ap—
propriation on be distributed to all

the states for the year 1934—35 in
order that educational institutions
may he adequately supported. The
instability of educational support
even in more fortunate states and
communities endangers the euee—
tiveness of the schools and the
safety of the nation. The situa-
tion is so critical that the people
are justiﬁed in using federal funds
to insure normal operation or' the
schools.

4. Local funds to be released
for school maintenance by reﬁ-
nancing school district debts and
providing federal loans to school
districts on the security of deline
quent taxes, frozen assets in closed
banks, or other acceptable securi-
ties.

5. Out of any new appropria—
tions made for public works, ‘not
les than 10 per cent to he alloc-
ated for buildings for schools,
colleges, and other educational
enterprises. These grants should
cover the entire cost. Major at,
tention should be given to the
needs of rural schools.

6. An appropriation of $30,-
000,000 do be administered by the
United States Oﬁice of Education
to assist students to attend insti-
stutions of higher education.
is this an unreasonable proposal?

The Federal Government has 89‘
sisted indusm, banks, agriculture,
and labor. Last year it wisely sl-
lotted $400,000,000 for roads.
Should not the Federal Govern-
ment give substantial emergency
aid to schools also?

Would this program mun federnl
control of the schools?

No. The program provides only
for temporary financial aid to en-
able the states to meet the emer-
gency in education. Its purpose
is to prevent children of the de-
pression from being deprived of
their rightful educational oppor-
tunities.

What You Can Do

If you are interested in having
the Federal Government help
children to get a fair deal in the
present crisis

1. Write at once to the Presi-
dent and to your Congressmen
urging prompt passage of federal
emergency aid for education.

2. Have your local and state or-
ganizations call upon the Presi-
dent and the Congress by resolu—
tion and petition to take immediate
steps to help meet the crisis in
education.

3. Write to the National lGom—
mittee for Federal Emergency Aid
1501' Education, Powhatan Hotel,
Washington, D. 0., for specially
prepared materials on this problem
for use in the preparation of inn—
terials for local newspapers, radio
and platform addresses, and group
study meetings. '

v’l‘he ﬁme is ripe for prompt
and vigorous action. The degree
of success in this vital matter de-
pends unon how quickly and for-
cibly the friends of education
throughout the nation ACT.

FOR jYOUR PUPILS

Take this my child and remember
it long,

Though now it may strike you as
funny,

A ,job with a chance to improve
and advance,

Is better than one that pays money.

So look for a job with a future
ahead,

Seek a ,chance to grow greater and
greater;

Seek a place where you know as
you work you. will grow,
And the money will come to you

later.

grounds nor reduce the light in classrooms.

All area not otherwise used should be set in grass.

INTERIOR REPAIRS

Repair all broken plaster and ﬁll cracks.

Securely fasten all wood ceiling and wood trim.

Repair or replace window shades on the sunny sides of the house.
Window shades should be of light can or buff translucent material. A
window should have two shades ﬁxed at the middle, one rolling up and
the other down; or be adjustable so is to mover any portion of the window.
If there is a single roll shade, it should be ﬁxed about ten inches below
the window top.

Remove lire hazards by repairing the ﬁnes. All lines should extend to
the ground and have ﬁre—proof tile lining.

Replace defective stove pipe and rivet joints.

metal sheet or concrete beneath stove.

Repair or replace worn ﬂooring boards. Flatgrain pine is not suit-

Floors should be kept well oiled or waxed.

Each classroom should have from 20 to 40 linear feet of good black-
board, Most worn boards can be restored by applying liquid slating. If
the boards are too far gone, they should be replaced with new blackboards
or tack boards. Pulp blackboards should be suspended from the top with
expansion space left at bottom and ends.

Desks should be repaired by combining good portions of broken desks,
tightening up all screws, and reﬁnishing.

Desks should be arranged so the pupils will receive light from their
left, or if windows arc on two sides, from the left and rear. It is important
that every child be provided with a seat and desk of the proper height.
His feel: should touch the ﬂoor, the desk should be at =lbow height when
upper arm is vertical and the seat should underlap the desk by about one
or two inches.

If the structure of the building will permit, the windows should be
rearranged on one side of the classroom and up against the ceiling.
