January 1.1. 1940 ATTENTION! OUR 8TATE AA M. COLLEGE "We do. not have in South Ccro lina an "A" grcde college for Ne gro 6" was emphatically statel in a meeting of the executive commit tee of the Palmetto State Teachera Associition held in the fccul ty -room of Slate College lest SaT , -urday. This is not news to those who are intelligently informed on the educational conditions in South (,arrlina. However, it is a sad s atemetrt - nd brings to mind t truth that is no less pcinful. The State College at Orange turg is the peoples college and ev eryone who wants to see la. ger op portunities for Negro teachers pro vided in he setup at State College| should exert his influence with the I* wm'kers tq*have the needed rp ? propriatiun made?that our state Colltge may qualify for this hon under the standards set forth by the rating agency of the Associ rtion of Colleges and Secondary Schools. State College has an annua' budget of $200,000. One-third of1 s maintenance comes from the era] Government, one-third fc'rom the State and the other onethird from student fees, et?. That is South Grolina Negtoes pfy two thirds of 'he running expenses of the State College. The minimum requirements for departmental heads in i n "A" , gTade college is $2,400.00 according to standards set by the Rating^ Agency, and this is frc'ual infor motion given out bv Dr. Miller F Whittaker. Dr. Whittiker is a men of few words but when he talks he says something. According to information Sta'e College needs $30,000 budget increase to meet the requirements. What can we do to help get this increese? This mat'er calls for concerted action on the pt rt of Negro lead ?rs. The State Teachers Association has appointed a Legislative Committee to place the mc.'ter before the lawmakers. With this com mittee are t ssociated other noted Negro leaders. This is a fine bcrtrning. In eveiy county are out. standing Negro leaders who hav the att ntion rnd reapect of white people. It appears to us thn if th' same Negro leaden would urge 'heir delegations to support the appeal from State Collegp much good would come from such action. We must Imp-ess the legislators that Strtp College needs the in. creased budget. ? W' 'tn "A" grade college for Negroes in South Carolina. THE COLORED VOTERS LEAGUE OF AMERICA The Colored Voters Teague Of America" is an orgpnization of pr *?ise an usefulness. The herd quarters of this organisation is at 011 F. Street, Washington, D. ~C.

Church, Washing ton, Bi'C., Is one of the field mm' agera. There are other noted I ' men of both races identified with I the "Colored Voters Leigue Of America. Some definite consideration must be given to Negro suffi<age in America. Negroea, rc-gardlass education, must be taught the use of the ballot and the beef way of -otTtarrrirnr ?Itf" JUttA?e without intimidating white poii. ticii ns, and without unnecessary friction. There are thousands ot " white izens in the Southern States who feel that intelligent p.operty owning Negroes should enjoy their rights t? /ote as othei citizens do, rnd these citizens will eventually make it possible for Nc i gro citizens to vote. The mission of the '"Colored Vo - tera League"i3r if wa interpret 1 heir language correctly, to assist i nd show Ameiican Ntgrroes how to secure the right of suffrage as guaranteed by the Constitution of *he United States. This, they be lieVe can be done, can be done with out racial antagomism and without destroying the spirit of good, will, between white and colored cit tens in the Southern Stitcs. JOHN P.

When this process ol developing equally all the powers of h.ain, herrt and soul is given right of way, the nearest approach to human perfection is possible. But alas! we have two groups of humen.beings; those who bend every effort toward brain power t the. expense of developing the finer feelings of the heart.
