BETIIUXE'S MESSAGE " OF HOPE Dr. Mary McLeod Befthune, pres.iM't of B'tthunv-Cookman college, Daytona Beach and also director of Negro affairs through the N.Y.A. was heard by a capacity audience at Allen university Monday. Dr. Bethune was "the V: >n.->Ote speaker for the Emancinticn Day occasion. Dr. McLeod Bethune brought a message full of hope and frought with unusual inspiration. The act that she is a South Carolin'ii: is of as much d*iterest as is her great achievement as a race mader. Dr. Bethiune urged Columbia Negroes to cooperate, work to 'itbor and lift as they climb to p being an "Uncle Tom" carrvi n CT .nr?TV' o f rv xx*Viifo r?r?/-\r>l - J ---r> W |/VV|ilV V*I - Negroes and about Negroes. urged Negroes to believe in Ne gvoos?twd?fontpv?wwie?fintf'rpris. es. "There is a new day in America for the Negro", Dr. Be_ 'huine declared. tjrqe this great character is more twin a treat. Just to see and hear sjjch an illujitikus character is worth much to our youth. The Paifoetto Leader congratulates JVti4. H. E. Lindsay, Mr. J.- W. .

BUTLER AT HARTSVILLE About thlity years ago - Dr U? Henry H, Butler, now principal of Butler High school, president at the Baptist State convention 4nd potentate in Negro Secret Irjk eocietiea, came to Hartaville as , : i principal of the colored school. In hs work there he hag done well and is recognized as one of the leading educators of the state. In the State, has been appearing elaborate "write-ups" of school systems. In the issue of EKcefmber 81st more than )two columns were jfiven to the story about Ilartsville, school system under Supt. Thornwill. The story included the following paragraph concerning Prof. Butler and his school: The Negro school under the-supervision of H^H. Butler as prin?cjfpaly-dias an enrolmarbof pupils in the graded school and 187 in> the high . school. Besid^athe usual courses offered^ the school offers home economics, two teachers being employed in the department, and vocational agriculture, shop work and wood a'Arlr linrln-? TT P. Prnwnr TV* a plant at the .present time consists of* the main building containing 12 elass?rooms?and?art offce, a six room building in which are the tfome economic rooms and other class rooms a shop of two rooms and the new aiudftoriun.. UpK>n the completion of his 25th year of service as principal the school was officially named the Butler school. Besides the two mentioned above therc aro 22 oth^r teachers in the school. In the State have appeared re?cently stories of several school '^syst^ms.- This is the first mention of a Negro school to appear in the series. It certainly speaks for the liberal mindedness" of the reporter and the Hartsville people. Possibly, that is why H. H. Butle has beein there so long. It is a good place for good people. TEACHERS PROBLEMS NEED ATTENTION The Palmetto State Teachers association is one of the mo?t useful organizations among Negroes in South Carolina, and its growth during the past ten ybars has been marvt.ous. The work of Prof. John P. Burgess, the executive secretary, has been aind is commendable. The presidents and other leaders have done a fine job in nelping to build up a membership of 4,000 in the teachers organization?and they have done many 0ther things to make the association function. Ev^ry teaqher in the state should, jom and help make the 1039 convention the best ever held.. There are teachers and others who criticise' the State associationv. iSome of the criticism? may be justifiable. However, the teacher who stands on the out ide criticising?landa?nothing?U1 the success of the association. The men and women who pay jthe uollar money should and must [hd heard. The best way to get done what is needed is to bo a ' financial?niuiiibiri ; stay in?tkfcranks and help the leaders solve the problems that need immediate attention. to be paid salaries that afford a respectable living1?-in keeping with the profession. They must contend for an equal salary schedule for all teachers regardless of race. , . I Teacherg need longer tenure of J employment ar-V*.-' i n'e_-y^U<4p^ m -Ttuequate taciliwhich to build ^schoolsfor' Negrq chldren. There should be seven months provided for the children in rural schools. The one teacher schools should be merged, and it does not require much -vision to see . the great need o? adequate school buildings- to accommodate the children of school age, and bus service is needed to get them to and from consolidated schools. These are a few of the problems nOW confronting Negr0 teachers. Big talk and foolish criticisms will not solve these prob lettts. Teachers win nave to no team work. Teachers must be able to focalize on definite objectives and drive to that and. Those outstanding problems need immediate attention. Teachers with "soft" backbones will neyrr challenge them. The Jeanes' fiupervising teachers have don? a great deal in making the Stagy association what it i*. They urge teachers to join amd meet them in their county meetings. They have mode many sacrifices. The Palmetto Leader has always been a friend to teachers. We know much about their han djcaps. Fault-finding will Inrtt solve the teachers problems. Radical leadership is not needed now. Wise counsel, -sensible approach, and contacts with the district trus ?- ? .'P'? ' '? ?1 i| MAYBE SO AT - (By w. H. o . ' ' GROWING OLD Well, the New Year is a weel old.

Sumter will bring this in formation and movement before their Quarterly Conferences, and Group Meetings the early part of the year that the best-preparation might be made, and tho- heartiest responses might be had. We, the Conference have always believed trusted, educated, loved, sympa^ fhized and employed our young people. They are the joy of our homes, the inspiration, of our schools, and the future foundation and support of our church. Claf lin College trains them for ser vice. She has enjoyed rich and permanent returns for the Chris | uan tutelage invested in?\Jhem. We depend upon our accomplish ed youth to await, which will not be long, to occupy our place. How well they will live and serve, depend upon the-kind of equipment they possess, the right attitude they approach their tasks, and the condition we have left the fields. At some period in 1939 at Sum ter, where our next Conference] convenes, we will sit, see, and hear the delegation of young peo pie. They shall come from every] corner of our state. They will bo the honored, selected and cream of our youth group. We will listen to their prayers, fears, fretsj wants, aspirations, yearnings, dii! Acuities, pleasures and successes What an opportunity for both cler gyman, and layman to listen?ioj these your\g, people's grievances,' and exultations to further study' them, and offer the proper Ano-' dyne W assist them to reasona-j bly and righteously solve "their varied, and various problems.' Thru this medium, the Conference! is offering a brighter day, a lar per territory for service, and a wider sphere Tor the display of" youth's ambition and talents, "use fulness and sense to serve.

TEACHERS HOLD LAST MEETING 1938 The Anderson county teachers wish to extend to their readers and co-workerg a very- Merry Christmas and a Happy 1939. The groups at our last meeting assembled in their respective rooms and was a scene of busy arwl Miteresting activity. " The writer is unable to give accurately the doings of every group, but the high school group was fortunate in having Mrs. J. L. Perry who has had a number of years teaching English to bring some methods of presenting this alt important subject. We enjoyed these methods?and we look forward anxiously to the next lesson on methods. 1 Mrs. A. W. Andersotn, our coum./.?
