? Dear Co-Worfters-: ! t
To make any definition of education M
complete. there must be included ai- I
ways this, fact, that it means growths ^
which does not show definite stages of ?
growth from year to year might as t
well be disbanded. * The Palmetto 1
--State Teachers' Associatio n has i
shown, some progress, especially dur- j
ing the past few years, but the t
ground*1?has been 'merely prepared t
\ for that kind of grQwth that will jus- (.
V tify the continuance of the organiza.i
tion. So it is the purpose of your r
m present administration to go a step >
}r - further in developing the Association j
to such mtngree of usefulness that its \
influence and power will he felt thru- je
out the year and reach out into every ~
corner of the state to stimulate grow- (
th in every school community by way j
of better teaching, improved school i
facilities, and greater pride and co- (
_ - operation, on the part of everybody, t
in the education of Negro bovs and j
girls. 1
This letter, therefore, is written to t
call your attention to a program of i

- - We should. IV?)ve. a Full-Time Sec- ,
retary because there is work that cai! ,
be effectively done only by a person |
who bait't he opportunity of. givii>g his ,
entire .tune to its performance. A .
-few. suggestions us to the use of his :
time follows:
(a) There is need of some one to^ ,
be responsible to the Association in j
keeping it in personal touch with eve-- j
. ry teacher,every school, and every j
school community in the state; * I
- (b) To .keep the Executive Com- |
mittee of the Association informed, .
as it may desire, to help it to function |
WU most efficiently;
(c) To bring about 100 per cent *
* enrollment of the 4.000 teachers in
_J^MLthe state-instead of the' -60 per cent ,

ror the Association to work out *

in agtive campaign to provide ways

;d course of s^tudy in music can b<
pursued by the pupils in every schoo

shildren that they have the opportu
pity of understanding music funda
nenthls, of learning to differentiat*
petw'eerythe good and the bad in mel
>dj^ and harmony, and of growing
n appreciation and in love of th<

G. LIBRARIES. The Associatioi
ihould make as a part of its prograu
>f active service, a continuous "eflforl
;o stimulate interest in the develop
nont of adequate libraries in al
ichocUs for the benefit of both teachei
ind pupijs. * .
The Rosenwald Fund provides $12(
.vorth Of books for any .school wh-iel
'urliishes $80 of the amount. Schoo
>oai'ds generally furnish $-10 and tin
individual school $40 of the condi
donal $8(V. These books are careful
y selected by experts in the organi
sation of school libraries. They art
leautifully bound, well printed, an
ire suitable for pupils from the, firs
*rade through the high school.
The Rosenwald Fund will providi
ilso $000 worth of books for any hlgl
ichool Which furnishes $400 of th<
imount. This, too, is generally work

tremendous interest could be-ereatei
in the organization, management, an<
