C., hrfs passed the for leun milestone ot its existence. Since the death 'of "Mr. MeFrick, the company has been under the direction of Dr. C. C. Spaulding and significant with its fortieth anniversary the company, has in ail ranee in force of A'\ "'million dollars. The story of this concern and its mammoth- growth cannot be , told more vividly and with fewer #.wotfis than the following clipping which is taken from Editor P. B. Young's notebook in The Norfolk. , Journal and Guide: > Despite the severe economic conditions confronting our group and the rigid job competition with ? which we are struggling we aro not losing- ground on all fronts. The insurance companies afford the best index to social and economic advancement. So far all reports.- u n hnic i, Bum fu M f..i1038 show that our companies experienced healthy growth. We have before us the report of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, revealing that this stalwart business increased"!, its. assets nearly a half million dollars and added new insurance amounting to four and one-half millions, bringing-Its total insurance in force to 44 mill tr-.... ..w.in. in n- m a race owned and managed business with assets ot five?and one-half?mrdiondollars, operating in the South, and growing from year to year. It affords an encouraging outlook. President C. C. Spaulding writes: "We have just undergone a rigid convention examination by the'insurance departments and they have , given us an 'A-1 Rill of Health.'" STl'DV THE -TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION Columbia was crowded last wfVk ... ^_with people -and -ears.- The Palmetto State Teachers' Association ~ was in session. This is am-organization of 5,000 teachers and de* partmental heads. It is toe largest organization among Negro teachers in the United States, ex-1 cept North Caroljna, it is said. . We Trfay expect to find imperfections in an organization the size of the Palmetto Association. |^((y)?faiiliii i mi Vn??m wi'S" i ' dlrfv'Tjfc ~ 1 1 ?? The so imperfections may be in program building or funeral-pro*-"! cedure. That's natural. In a stu- ? dy of their records and from ob- J servations we find many excellent . accomplishments. Of the $5,000 ' collected annually about $2,300 is \ refunded to the counties which * maintains ?he county units. It is plain that the state organization cannot have much surplus fi\nds from $2,700 after caring for efficient clerical work and other important overhead expenses. The leading figure in the State Association is the president.? Principal G. A. Anderson of Foun tain Inn. He measures up well in his ability to function, in his philosophy of lite, and his leadership points the way to greater achievements. We quote the main recommendations in President An derson's annual address; 1. That the association indorse federal aid for schools. 2. That the house of delegates ask the governor to appoint a committee to study the present condition of Xogro school- a 11 d " teachers, and suggest ways of extending educational opportunities to the Negro of the state Also, that the personnel of this committee should include, representatives from the general assembly, state department of education, South Carolina Education association. Palmetto Teachers' as sociation. the college presidents and ten interested individuals from the state at large. 3. That each school principal write a letter to the state nfth4fl4s- = of the national youth administra tio'n, expressing appreciation foi the work . being'done among Negroes. / 1. That the association compile and send to all school principals a copy of the National Adult School Movement. 5. That the-association, go jon record as favoring the teaching ol some books in our schools that are about Negroes, and written by Negroes. G. That the association go on record-as iudorsing-Hhe work of the attendance teachers*:"and ask the general assembly to continue that phase of public schoul work. 7. That the ? association will j waiio a campaign for members for i the American Teachers association. President Anderson and his! committee held a conference last Thursday morning with the Finance Committee of the.State I.o gislature behind closed iloorsr It was the first time in the-history [_ of the organization that a com mittee of Negro teachers was granted such privileges, according to reliable information. As we study the doings, of the Association we fin<k~many things they have done tofhelp teachers The' Palmetto Leader makes these observations of its own accoi*'!, and for the information of its readers. We are of the opin ion that it i- the duty of a news- i paper to en.ourage worthy organizations and help them in every' po. . ible ccay to succeed! TRUSTEES HONOR DR.
