VOL. XV?NO. 50 Teachers To Recei Material On Natio Teachers of-. Negro youth will receive some printed nuterial on National Defense within the next sixty days. This material is made possible to Negroes by the South, Carolina Education Association, the State Department of Education, and the State of South Caro lina. Because of its intrinsic value the Palmetto Strte Teachers' Association, through its president, as ?? flured Mt. J. P. Coatcs, Secretary of the South Carolina Education Association, that if funds for , printing and distributing copies to the Negro teachers of the state were not available elsewhere, the organization would provide the money. This offer was made for all Negro teachers, members of the association and non-members alike. The writer is of the opinion th ?t teachers have an opportunity to help greatly with one of tfro great needs in a defense program. WithNegroes, out morale no nation is safe. Negroes, because of inadequate e(h~ ucttional and other necessary op portunities, can become .an easy iu propaganua. mis is true of any group with a large segment that has not been trained. This factor imposes upon Negro teachers a responsibility they will not shirk at this hour when no one seems to know what tomorrow will bring forth. It was the writer's opinion that Negroes were able fnd willing to help with the registration on October 16. He so informed the Governor and the Superintendent of 4- Education of the State. In many counties Negro teachers registered Neero registrants. That provision met with favor with Negroes over the entire stete. Governor Maybank has named Negroes in each county as advisors to help Negro registrants fill out thoiquestionnaires. Tetchers in public and private schools along Witfn. ministers, lawyers, doctors, and other civic leaders have been appointed. Negroes everywhere ap prove this recognition. Certainly this is a contribution to National Defense. , Two incidents prompt triis article.
