YOUR ANNUAL DOLLAR.

Your roll call for 1931 memberhip fees in the K. N. E. A. has now
begun. Each colored teacher in Kentucky is asked to pay one dollar
to aid in putting over the program of the Kentucky Negro Educational
Association. Each dollar will aid in the publication of the K. N. E, A.
Journal, in paying the expenses of speakers at the 1931 convention, in
the awarding of exhibit prizes, and in the execution at a legislative pro-
gram contributing especially to the educational needs of the Negro chil-
dren of Kentucky.

Already some counties have enrolled one hundred per cent in the
K. N. E. A. for 1931. Othens have pledged to follow_ Each teacher
is now called upon to pay one dollar to the county organizer, principal
of her school, or send it directly to the K. N E. A. Secretary. This is
a. professional obligation of every loyal Kentucky teacher.

Sand in your fee now. Why mm

 

 

 

THE K. N. E. A. SECRETARY.

At the suggestion of some of those interested in the K N. E. A.
the present executive secretary, Atwood S. Wilson, tank under consid-
eration entrance into the race for the presidency of the K. N. E. A.
at the 1931 convention. After a careful study oi the matter he has
decided that he can serve the organization heat as its secretary, par-
ticularly at the present time, a time in which the K, N. E. A. Journal
is just being started and the scholarship fund has just begun to func-
tiom The present executive secretary-treasurer will, therefore, he a.
candidate for re-election at the 1931 convention. The Board of Di-
rectors of the K. N. E. A., at its annual meeting, was pleased with this
decision on the part of the secretary, feeling that he should continue
in his present capacity, which permits him to shape the policies of the
K N. E. A. and direct its ucti ties. (By W. H, H)

tests and exhibits to be sponsored by the K. N. E. A. during this schol-
astic year. As indicated, there will be, (1) the annual spelling con-
test; (2) a state declamatory contest; (3) a state—wide athletic can-
test; and (4) literary and industrial exhibits. Teachers are urged to

 SUPPORT THE. K. N. E. A.

Did you ever stop to think of the value of an organization? Do
you realize that an organization can do what an individual cannot do?
Do you realize that the K. N. E. A., {being- an orgauimtion of the col-
ored teachers of Kentucky, is your greatest protector, that this in the
organization which is ever alert to encourage all movements pertaining
to the welfare of the colored teachers and colored youth of Kentucky‘l
Realizing the above factor, no one of us can fail to be a booster of the
K. N. E. A. Advance enrollment in the K, N. E. A. is your expression
of aypreciatiun of the mrofessional service being rendered by this or-
ganization.

TEACHING CERTAIN IDEALS.

In our work as teachers of the youth of Kentucky a noteworthy
him should he the improvement of the character of the colored youth
of Kentucky. This is one of the objectives of secondary education and
would meet one of our greatest needs. Better citizenship would do much
to raise the status of the rat in general. Let us strive to teach our
pupils Honesty, Courtesy, Obedience, and Cleanliness. Each pupil
might be taught to daily recite and live a creed of the following type:

“On my honor, I will do my best to be honest, courteous, obedi—
ent, and clean, in my home, in my school, and in my community, therehy
making myself a fit citizen."

 

 

THE ENROLLMENT BLANK.

Along with this issue of the Journal is .being sent to every teacher
a 1931 enrollment blank, which includes a. subscription to the K. N. E.
A. Journal. Teachers are urged to use these cards as indicated on th-
bottom of them in a larger way than heretofore. In order that we
might enter the K. N. E. A. Journal as second-class matter at the Louis—
ville Post Office it is necessary that we have six hundred (600) sub-
scriptions in the handwriting of the various subscribers. If teachers
will, therefore, fill out this enrollment and subscription form and send
it to the secretary of the K. N. E. A. we can enter our publication
during this scholastic year. Principals are also urged to collect these
cards when they send in their enrollment fees for their entire corps
of teachers—likewise, county organizers may do this. The officers of
the K. N. E. A. thank you in advance for this cooperation which has
been suggested.

 

The officers of the K_ N. E. A. wish every teacher
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
