 6 KENTUCKY NEGRO EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

A Foreword

 

One of the chief contributions of the past administration
to the progress and permanency of the Kentucky Negro Ed-
ucational Association was the issuance of the annual record
of proceedings in printed form. The K. N. E. A. is no longer
an experiment; it has become an established and necessary
extension. of our system ‘of public instruction. It is a
clearinghouse through which are exchanged the brightest
thoughts and most practical ideas of leaders in educational
progress in the State and nation, and from which the sea-
soned scholar no less than the novtice derives a Wealth of
knowledge, suggestion and general culture. The need, there—
fore, for a permanent record is clearly evident. ‘

In consonance with a general demand we are submitting
the best form of Proceedings that circumstances make pos-
sible at this time. Printing, at best expensive, is, because
of the advanced cost of paper, now about twenty-five per
cent higher than heretofore. Furthermore, we begin this
year with an empty treasury. In view of these conditions
the officers are genrally agreed that an abridgement of'our
record this year is an economic necessity. Hence this ex—
planation.

We gratefully acknowledge the unreserved co—operation
of the several heads of departments, the Board of Directors,
and other officers and workers in making this brief bulletin
possible and in framing our plans for the ensuing year.
There is great enthusiasm in every section of Kentucky for
the continued success of our big educational movement, and
from beyond our borders come messages of praise and ad-
miration.

Take, then, this little bulletin; read it, file it, treasure it,
and resolve that the great K. N. E. A. shall, by your help,
become the Greater K. N. E. A.

Sincerely yours,
H. G. RUSSELL,
President K. N. E. A.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON COUNTY EXHIBITS

 

To the Officers and Members of the K. N. E. A.:

We, the Committee on County Exhibits, wish to submit
the following report:

After carefully inspecting the exhibits from all counties
at the K. N. E. A., decide that Christian County Wins first

Declaration of Principles

 

Mr. President, Members of the K. N. E. A., and Friends:

The Committee respectfully submits the following Decla-
ration of Principles and Aims:

First: We re—aflirm that the right to secure the best pos-
sible educational training should not be denied any child in
our Commonwealth, and that ample provision should be
made through legislative enactment for the institution and
maintenance of a plan and system of education that will
appeal to the right inclinations and serve the needs of Ken-
tucky childhood. While we do not see perfection in our
domain of educative activity ,yet we do note with a deep

 18 KENTUCKY NEG-R0 EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

feeling of joy and satisfaction, marked advancement and
betterment, generally, in all Kentucky schools—both rural
and city.

Second: We make the declaration that one standard only
of American citizenship should be taught in the schools of
our state and country, and that the method used to attain
that standard be void of prejudice, disfavor and injustice,
and be directed toward the accomplishment of human rights
liberty and security of life and property to all men. We
verily believe that the study of Civics should be made thor-
ough in the public schools.

Third: We commend most heartily the placing of agen~
cies in the public scsools to protect and preserve the physical
being of the children. As a result of this movement, We
note with satisfaction the improved sanitaryy conditions of
our schools and homes. We are much pleased with the work
mutually conducted along lines of sanitation and preserv-
ing life by the health and school authorities.

Fourth: We affirm that the boy and girl in the country
are entitled to the same school advantages as the city child.
They should have trained and efficient teachers who receive
adequate pay. In some of the counties of our State, we find
proficient and progressive superintendents ,who encourage
the erection of modern school-buildings with complete
equipment for the use of our children. This effort merits
our sincere commendation.

Fifth: We declare our disapproval of the idea that pre
vails in many communities that the teacher’s life is purely
nomadic, and that he should remain in a. community for a
stated period only, regardless of his fitness and ability as
a teacher and citizen. We firmly believe that too frequent
changing of teachers hinders the advancement of the
schools and therefore retards the growth of the community.
The teacher as a permanent leader in a community is more
essential to the larger growth of that community than the
business man who remains until he is able to retire.

Sixth: We believe that the trustee should be a man of
unquestioned integrity and honesty, with pure and unselfish

 KENTUCKY NEGRO EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION 19

motives, willing to support those things that mean for the
moral uplift of the community and the righteous advance-
ment and complete preparation of the children;

Seventh: We believe that a. determined effort should be
made in every school district to educate our people to supple-
ment the funds available for school purposes that longer
terms and more comforts may be secured for our boys and
girls;

Eighth: We believe that the overcrowding of children in
school-rooms, making one teacher responsible for the care
of too large a. number of pupils, is a great menace to the
welfare and progress of the school. The sooner this prac-
tice is eliminated the better it will be for education.

Ninth: We favor advocating the adoption of a text-book
edited by a Negro in our schools.

Why should not our pupils learn of the accomplishments
of their people through the established and authorized med-
ium—the public schools? We are prepared to do this and
the fact should be recognized.

We believe in race pride and loyalty. The school-room is
the best place in the world to begin the education of a people
along the lines of race unity and protection. We therefore
favor the giving of regular lessons through the means of
lectures to our children in school on race building, and the
patronizing of Negro business and professions when com-
petency is not wanting.

Tenth: We favor the use of Negro newspapers and pe
riodicals as Supplemental reading in all schools.

Eleventh: We re—aflirm that we stand for the absolute
divorcement of politics from the conduct of the schools, and
that teachers and school oificials should be selected because
of their proficiency, honesty, executive ability and upright
character.

Twelfth. We believe that this body should take the initia-
tive in a movement to have established in Kentucky an in-
stitution for the home of our feeble-minded children. The
presence of weak- minded children' In our schools is the cause

 20 KENTUCKY NEGRO EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

of more apprehension than is ordinarily suspected.

Thirteenth: Were-afirm our faith in the course pursued
by our lamented educational leader, Dr. Booker T. Wash-
ington, to lift our people to a higher plane in Life.

The world helped him because he convinced it that he
was right; we honored and loved him because of his great
service to his people and country. Our noble benefactor
has gone, but his method to educate the people yet livm and
will live forever.

We favor any movement to perpetuate the memory of
our great leader, and believe that this Association should
take the first step toward presenting a petition to Congress
to set apart a day as a legal holiday for the holding of ap-'
propriate exercises and the closing of Negro schools
throughout the land.

Fourteenth: We believe that this association should ever
be the real potent force in the uplift and onward march of
Kentucky.

We favor the inauguration of a mammoth campaign to
arouse the enfire Slate to a sense of im duty to education
and the complete preparation, morally, refig‘ously and in-
tellectually of its childhood. Not a teacher should be per-
mitted to remain away from this convention assembled for
the purpose of creating and putting in operation plans to
elevate school standards.

Finally, we avow our allegiance to the cause of righteous
uplift, the making of Chrstian manhood and womanhood,
and to the cause of impelling the world to recognize all men
as equals. Respectfufly submitted,

G. W. SAFFELL,
