of this phase of the State Medical
program in a meeting of the
_ Columbia..Ministerial -Union?this
week, Mtrs. Andrew Simkins, di_re.ctor
of the Negro program of
the Sou'th Carolina Tuberculosis
association said, "We as leaders
may as well realise now the value
of meetings of this type in the
development of health consciousness'
among our group, and ill
bringing our people to realize
that among the Negro group in
the United States, there are men
so well trained in the allied branch
es of medicine that they command
the respect of the American puib-,
lie without regard to 'color. The
Palmetto. Medical Association is
bringing at least a dozen nien of
national prominence to our state'

your congregations and your
friends to attend the public meet
ings and to give close attention
to newspaper accounts of daily
sessions.
"The possible .results of these
public meetings," the speaker con
tinued, "are the inspiration and
information that may be gained,
especially Dy our young people,
through attending meetings of
their professional men; anil the
focusing of the attention of?the
general public on the training of
NegTo doctors which cables them
daily to make distinct contributions
through practice in their
chosen fields."

I take this method to rlenr "p a few

per, the school and myself untold
I harm. At first I felt rather in
clined to hold on, but in order to
facilitate rnatteis some members _
Jof the board brought forward a
compromise that, I accept busi^
ness manager. After some refleo- _
tion and upon the advice of my
Bishop I accepted, eyphiirinng?to- the
board that my reason was to
save Bishop Flipper, as well as thp "<
school, any further embarrassment.
Upon this decision the
board elected me business mana- Ij
ger. After this there was some |
negotiation between the chairman ]
of -the board, Dean, and student |
committee backward and forth so (
that - the chairman decided he i
would take over the management ]
himself. And thus, the set-up \
runs at present. ? (
To my friends and public in j

ed out or forced to accept the
( managership for I. had dome noth- -j
ing worthy of such.' But foj jfche 1
I respect I have for my Bishop and \
the desire to see conditions at the s
' school settled, I acted. While this a
is true yet I feel that in some g
way^ there should be some action Jj
of vindication and my friends feel
that standing for election at the
