cation Department will supervise the exhibits at the 1931 session. Mr.
George L. Bullock, secretary of this department” will be in active
charge of this part of our progmm. Pm. Bullock is now planning a

ready she has received her loan

 Kentucky Athletics

After carefully surveying the
work being rlone by the Athletic
Association of other Southern
states in connection with the de-
velqyment of a state Wide athletic
program, many of the coaches
and principals of our High Schools
in Kentucky, came together fora
meeting whale definite plans were

' worked out, whereby, this state
might develop a combined pro-
gram of athletics that might em-
brace every high School in Ken-
tucky.

There appeared to be three dis-
tinct districts, that were already
functioning in the various sections
of Kentucky. The names of these
sections are: The Blue Grass
Section, that functions under the
name of the The Blue Grass Athle-

tic Association: the Western Sec-
tion, which embraces the schools
in Western Kentucky, and the
Mountain Section.

The President of the Kentucky
Atheletic Association, J. Max
Bond, invite: the principal of
every single High School in Ken-
tuclq' to send their schedules to
his office at 214 Pythian Temple,
and to keep close tab on outstand-
ing players in order that an all.
state team might be nicked.

The Kentucky Athletic Asso-
ciation plans to sponsor a State
Wide Basketball Tournament, and
a State Wide Track Meet. Such
a program, however, will require
the co-operatio'n of every single
High School with the Athletic A3-
saciation.

 Report of the Legislative Committee

We, your committee on: legisla-
tion, beg leave to make the ffllaw—
ing report of certain leyislative
measures affecting Negro educa~
tion and progress, which were
passed‘by the General Assembly
of 1930:

We met in the distinguished Iii:—
tle City of Frankfort several times
last fall and winter to discus some
problems pertaining to our edu-
cational progress from several
viewpoints. The Negroes of Ken-
tucky are truly on trial. It is the
duty of the leaders of the race to
find out what is due the race under
the State and Federal “Constitu-
tions as well as the Common
School Law and then plead and
contend until justice is fully es
tablished. We believe that such
leadership should not be confined
to the teachers alone but should
include leaders in every progres-
sive walk of life,—-the farmer,
factory hand, physician, minister,
miner and others interested in the
SQUARE DEAL SLOGAN. And
yet we realize that in the final
analysis the great purpose is the
uplift of the child and a complete
citizenship of the Commonwealth
and of the world

Realizing that there is not an
accredited college in Kentucky for
Negroes, was proceeded to outline
a tentative budget for the colleges,
the one at Frauldofl and the one
at Paducah. We believe on r
budget was a reasonable one for
operating accredited schools. We
fell short of our request; but the
General Assembly appropriated
$190,000 for Frankfort, $189,000
for West Kentucky or about
$379,000.00 for both colleges.

For these appropriations we are
profoundly grateful. That was
truly a mark of interracial good
will. Lei: us cherish hope that out
of such liberal appropriations to
our State Colleges there will come
forth two accredited colleges for
the higher education of the Negro
youth of Kentucky Your commie
tee noticed that the Colored Nar-
mals and Colleges are not listed
in the columns of the other Nor-
mals and Colleges and therefore
fail to share in the special funds
according to the Biennial Report,
but are meandered and catalogued
under name of Vocational and
Industrial Institutions.

We ask not for new laws, but
rather for the proper execution
of those spread upon the Statutes
of the State.

The Colored Children’s Home
Society will receive $37,500.

This is the first time known to
man that the Negroes of Wat and
Eli-st Kentucky ever stood together
“or one common cause. an equal
opportunity for every child in
Kentucky.

Among the outstanding bills
passed for educational purposes
was Bill No. 14, known as bhe
Equalization Bill, appropriating
$1,250,000“! each year to allow
the teachers to get a minimum
salary in each county of $75.00
per month. The teachers every—
where in the Commonwealth hail
the news of increase of salary
with exceeding great joy Your
committee is if the opinion that
the General Assembly of 1932
should be asked to divert the sur-
plus money, lllfi per cent, from
the Highway Commissioner's fund
