" "The unanimous vote by which the judiciary-committee_pf the South Carolina house of representatives approved the proposal to establish a school of law at the State college for Negroes in Orangeburg suggests the general assembly . as a whole will approve that plan.- Under the recent decihron of the United States supreme court in the Missouri case .Q rv 11 f Vr Pq rnlir-? o wnht Ar\ 4-Vm4- aw ^wMVii vtina iituov uv cuai/y v/1 admit Negroes to the law school of the University. The school of ; law for their exclusive use iB the ? wiser way to adjust policy to the courts decision."?The State. We hope that the proposed law school for Negroes, if established, will be something1 creditable to the state and also to the State college. We also hope that Negroes will show that they want ?this type of professional training by advising Negro students to enroll to show that the request is more than just a "racket."' It will take a little time and some intelligent thinking by the law makers to establish a law school that will appeal to the Ne gro htudents cf trainipa?students who really want to study law. If we are to have just a "chair" and a "ten cent store" professor in charge then it is better to go along as we haye in the past until the type of school we need can be established. If the legislature will provide the school, we are satisfied President "Whittaker wilT" Select men /vf umiiiiiiK in mw as professors. He knows how, and he knows how to find students well versed in thft law. Or- . ' ' V ' ' GIVE H?R THE PREFERENCE There are 5,000 teachers in Negro schools in_ South.- Carolina.| ?The~~records show that nearly 80, per cent of these teachers held : membership HV-the-Patmctto State. Teachers Association ^last? year. ?' Ten years ago, it would have been' considered most excellent if 50, per cent of the teachers in Negro, schools held annual membership cards with the State Associatron. It shows, beyond a doubt, that colored teachers have faith in the organization?that they have sufficient intelligence to see that the hope of the Negro teacher for better salaries and better school buildings is in the united efforts of the teachers through wise leadershiD and a ?ii ? ? vi^aiiunuon. Everything is not coming to pass in a day. Keep on asking foi what you want. Pay your dues and keep goin.? your County and State organizations. Work for growth. Work agafnst factions and eliminate the isJIcul leaders' who breed trouble and retard the progress of the "N^gro race. Trustees, superintendents and others employing teachers . in- thel-i public schools should evaluate the teacher's membership card. A membership card in her Assocra. 1 tion should stand next to her certificate in credit yalue. Anyway < Why no't^lvw the legisterod taach ^ er the preference in the selection ' of teachers in ou** public schools? . _ ? ; (By W. H. ; GpOD LISTENERS I asked a young lady why she did not talk much as other women did. She replied: "I prefer to be a good listener." That is unusual | for a woman, don't you think??j or do you? Well, that gives me my cue for' Hnino m\r onf IKn wonlr Mnn or?. , GOVERNOR BURNET R. MAYBANK \ . 1 ?? 1 Governor Burnet R. Maybank, J former Mayor of Charleston, was|< inaugurated January 17 fas the (J chief magistrate of the State of * South Carolina. For the first * time since the Confederate war, and following a line of fine ances- tors, Charlestonians nave placed in the governor's office one of their , illustrous sons. Governor Maybank is a "liberal" and is closely affiiliated with the-federal admiuistrathrn in Washington. South Carolinians came from the four corners of the state? some colored people included. They were here from Port Royal to Caesar's Head. 10,000 or?more stood on the State House grounds and listened to the inaugural address. There has not been such a demonstration by the people in a long time. The new governor believes in fair play for all. Among the many things he spoke of m his message was equal educational opportunity. He said: "No sadder sight has ever come to my eyes than to "see a South Carolinian, white or black, asked to touch a pen while another signs his name. First of all let us resolve to wipe ouc~the blot of a." hrgh illiteracy rate from our sta,te. We?must -improve?and equalize school opportunities in South Carolina. I hope to see as governor, as soon as the state eah provide, a nine-month school term established throughout the _ state, and today I recommend that, our rental erhool liimlr a\ra. tem be converted into a free school book system. "Our institutions of higher learning must be expanded to take care of the needs of our boys and girls for college training. In education we cannot stand still, because if wc do, we fall backward. We must, move forward." In this the chief magistrate is right and we hope the . whole state will back such a program Most of the illiteracy in South Carolina is among Negroes. To Iwipe out illiteracy is to bring light to the illiterate and raise the state to a higher rating. Governor Maybank comes into office with no factions in the Legislature, the highway administra- , tion is with him, the officials of the Executive branch are support-" ing his program. South Carolina Negro?population has "much confi- ~ dence in his leadership. South Carolina is in sad need of unprejudiced leaders and leadership among both races. Negroes look for no miracles to be wrought. But, thank God for a ~ governor who has the catholicity of spirit, and" who, we believe, will be the governor of all the1 people?both white and black. I The Palmetto Leader ioins the press of the state in wishing the new governor much success while | he occupies the executive office. I, The Palmetto Leader is hopeful ( and congratulates the Democrats of South Carolina upon their election to the office of governor a man who seems to have the good wishes of the entire people BOOKER WASHINGTON'S SPIRIT. A. L. Holsey, field agent of the A_AA Washington, D. C., and C.' A. Barnett, Director of the Asso-1 ciated Negro Press, South Parkway, Chicago, spent four days in the State traveling, making con-1 tacts, also studying problems that exist among Negroes..

Dickson, RichlancL County farm agent. I Mr- Holsety is pi'esident of the National Negro Business League. He served 17 years as secretary to Tufkegee's founder?Dr. Booker T. Washington. Mr. Barnett is a graduate of Tuskegee, a trustee of that school He is more?he founded tho As-~ sucniled Negro Press 20 years atro mis institution serves 67 Negro newspapers and is very unique in its contribution to the advancement of Negro joumajs and journalism. I ? \ We listened attentively to these two race men as they talked to an audience of college students last-Friday;?In MrT Holsey and Mr. Barnett we see the philosophy of Booker Washington much alive^_ They-were' devoted"discipTes oT a great man, and hrs spirit lives in their souls, as it does in hundreds of men and women who studied under the influence of the wizard of Tuskegee Institute.

In fact one man said to me that perpetual motion was invented when God made a womfan. "For," said he, "if we are really to live always, a woman will go on talking forever." I add that it would be better ( for all concerned if men themselves listened more . and talked less. I would rather listen \to a, woman who talks about something worth while than to a man who ny' afternoon tea at the pastorate i and a large number witnessed J the occasion.
