POEMS BY HENRY ALLEN LAINE, RICHMOND, KY.
(Pm of K N. E. A. Program, 1923)
I.
I rise to offer friendly greetings,
Teachers of Kentucky;
That we’ve been spared in health and strength,
To meet each other here.
Through busy scenes, and anxious cares,
And many unseen dangers,
We’ve safely passed and reached this point,
of one more busy year.
11.
How have you fared since last we met?
Has true success or failure
Attended you in that great work,
Instruction of the youth?
Have you done all that you could do,
And put forth every effort,
To make this year, your banner year,
In spirit and in truth?
III.
I know you have, your presence here,
Speaks plainly your devotion,
To duty, in the highest sense,
Your yearning, strong desire,
To take the lead, here, in the South,
In public education,
And on her alters keep alive,
Its everlasting fire.
IV.
There sit before me able men,
And many cultured women,
Whose lives would honor any race,
However dark or fair.
But one here, stands out, clear, distinct,
Aggressive, bold, untixing,
0f vim, and force, and brilliant parts,
Our worthy chairman there.
(15)
V.
We all are race inen here, I hope,
To that high Work devoted,
Which seeks to lift our people up,
And hasten on the day,
When man to man shall brothers be
Here in our great free country,
And every form of racial hate
Forever pass away.
VI.
This body stands for school reform“
We’ll not retreat, not waver,
Till such reforms are brought about,
As set forth here below.
We represent the highest thought,
The most’ advanced ideas,
of public schools, Whose rising forms
Advancing shadows thrnwr
V11
We want free schools in reach of all,
With most advanced equipment;
Extended terms for rural schools,
With text books furnished free,
Compulsory laws, that will compel],
Small schools consolidated,
All classified in proper grades
of high efficiency.
VIIL
We want more high grade normal schools, -
Equipped for training teachers,
To meet the strict requirements,
of this advancing age
Where all that’s best in the teaching art,
With highest skill imparted,
By experts in the lecture rooms,
And of the printed page.
IX.
In all the schools there should be planned,
A course on “Race Relations,”
So whites and blacks might study facts,
In light of truth divine;
(16)
So that where racial interests blend,
Urge justice, full, impartial,
So that good will may drive out hate,
Along the “color line.”
X.
Search history with impartial eye;
Present the whole great story;
Include why Crispus Attncks fell,
When teaching Paul Revere.
And when you sing great Putnam’s praise;
Don't leave out Peter Salem;
And so on down the shining line,
Teach facts, complete and clean
XI.
Search musty nooks for hidden truth,
Turn on the light revealing
The mighty deeds by White men done,
But don’t folget to tell
The glorious part both mes played,
In pens and war together,
And how brave, loyal, Negroes served,
Their country lung, uud well.
XH.
Let thoughtless youth he taught to see,
True worth in life is being
A wholesome elevating force;
Let this he taught in school
That one safe course leads straight ahead,
To inter-racial conenrd,
Ami all our unknown future hangs,
Upon the “Golden Rule."
XIII.
So, let these aims be kept in view,
When hawk to fields of labor,
We go, when these brief sessions close;
Let every teacher do
His best, by word and thought, end deed,
To honor Old Kentucky;
And may she Wake out of her sleep,
Ami rise, to life, anew.

“What’s gwine ter came 0’ dis Negro race!”
Said Uncle Eben, with troubled face,
Seated beneath a. cherry tree,
Hunting ground of the honey bee.
Turning swift, while the days are warm,
Tr; shield itself against the winter stem
“I wonders, sometimes, lookin’ raun’
Efi dis heal: we aim losin’ groun’.
’Pears we's leamin’ awful slow,
De very t'ings dat We ought (Set know.”
IL
“De fust mistake made, soon as we's free,
Mistook de meanin’ of Liberty
Thong“; dat de word meant, ‘du as you please;’
Work when you has to, take yuur ease.
To work and to save is a, wicked fling;
Hnb big met’n, shout and sing;
Servin’ dc Lo ‘d in de light all day;
Sean’s its da’k, th’ow ’ligion away]
III.
’nother mistake made, ev’n now,
’Stead o’ showin’ our young uns how,
Tet stir like we did let ’91:: do,
Any Way day went to ain’t dat true?
Daughters playinZ “rag-time,” sons pluyin’ uynrds;
Munm in de washtuh, in de back yards;
Daughters off at college dressed to kill;
Mumma in de washtub payin’ de bill.
Son, he s cigaretwsmokin’ dude,

De very Pings dat we ought ter know!

By JOSEPH s. COTTER, Principal of the s. Colefidge—Taylot School
Louisville, Ky.
I slw two urchins,
A Negro and n Jew,
Sitting on a curbstone.
Each held unsold newspapers in one hand
And was juggling pennies with the other.
The Negro’s smiling face and swaying body
Seemed to sing to his pennies:
‘ ‘FIy away
And bring me back a good time."
The Jew’s sober )nieu and steady poise
Seemed to whisper to his pennies:
“Go the way 1 have taught you
And bring back the world captive at my feet.”
The res] boys vanished
And in their places sat another,
A child of my fancy.
He was not a Negro
With a passion for ease
And a genius for joy.
He was not a Jew
With a prayer seeming the past
And a thought sealing the future
He was just a child of nature,
Waiting to be shaped by circumstances
And
I sang him this song:
My lad, you are an Arab of the gutter,
A rag-tag of the tenement.
You are these, my ind,
But you are not poor;
For the sun gives you courage by day,
And the maon‘wnsolation by night.
You are these, my lad, but you are happy,
The flowers give you their perfume,
And you thank them with svsmile;
The water kisses your body.
And you bless it
With the benediction of motion.
(20)
You are these, my lad,
But you m not ignorant.
You sit on (he eurhstone,
You dream gtent dreams;
They tingle you: being,
And yen: heels and toes
Write their story in the gutter;
Because bf all this, my lad,
There is a plus fur you
In the wt of human achievement.
Find your stall,
Display your wares;
Put God en one side of the sable
And yeur commndit‘y on the other,
Then Success will pen a lyric in your honor,
And the stars will sing
Of a just man made perfect.
You are an Anb of the gutter, my lad,
A rag-tug of the tenement;
And believe me,
It will take your own brave snul,
God and filial-tune to decide
What you shall be.

A CLOVER annex acnooh noose
Breckinridge County, Ky.
In a hill-bound and somewhat rustic pocket,
Like a rough picture in a costly locket
With scarcely room enough to train a mouse,
Stand a few boards the trustees call a house
The floor and ground meet on the western side,
But on the east :1 drove of hogs might hide
And make their beds within the mellow ground,
And dwell day after day and not he found.
The windows that front on the east and west
Are much like pockets in h ragged vest—
Pockets that have been worn out long ago,
And cling about the garment just for show.
Like to a hole cut in a massive bin
Is the large door at which you enter in,
And once within you need not peep about
To find the many places to look out,
For on each side, in front and at your back,
Yes, everywhere you look. you’ll see a crack.
Close to the wall a. pulpit stands in View;
(For this is both a church and school-house, too)
And here and there, fastened with wooden cleats,
Are a few boards the pupils use for seats
About the, middle of the time-worn floor,
And on a straight line with the barn-like door,
Silently stands a large old stove, of yore
They say it heated, but it heats no more.
A blackboard hangs upon the southern wall,
And all day long- the curtains rise and fall.
With every gust of wind, And that is all.
All save a lad who dreams that he
Is great among the great
To him this makeshift is a. part
And parcel of the State.
To him no wind can be unfair,
No fate can be unlucky;
No soul too poor to wed its stun,
If bred in Old Kentucky
JOSEPH S. COTTER,
Principal S. Coleridge-Taylor School.

If You Should Ilia Tonight What
Would Your Estate he Worth?
Could your wife lift the mortgage from the home!
Would your children ’5 education he continued?
What will be your situation when you are am
Oh, you are saving for that purpose.
But how much cash have you now?
If all your debts were paid WHAT WOULD YOUR ESTATEV
BE WORTH”!
Here is the difierence between Insurance Savings and other
ways of Saving:
A $5000.00 policy would require a saving say, of $35.00 every
three months, and you would have a cash estate of $5000.00
as soon as you make the first deposit.
Any other Way of saving, your estate would be worth only
$35.00.
