"The Broader View ?t.
"Of Public Welfare"*^ 'Jo
At its meeting on January 8,
1941, the South Carolina Board of ^
Public Welfare formally adopted Hai
and made public the following the
atatement: Nal
!y
Reviewing the work done by, ndr
State and County Departments of No]
Public Welfa*e during the past La>
three and - one-half years, the A1
Boa-d wishes to express its-high sch
rpp-oval of both the quantity and
the quality of the work done, and of
its gratitude to Mr. Daniel, the Pet
State Djrector, his entire staff, W.
and ^ft!*p*'county unit. County res
Boards and staffs have been most a r
cooperative, and effective in car- to
rying out their functions, and to deri
overlook any worker in the De- Pri
partment jvyould "be doing"^jcssathan * "
Justice'."* " r ibb-**1 -v dF-" * ' mo
The Board also wishes to ap- nat
peal to the entire public, and par- po\
ticularly to the members of the olo
incoming uenerai Assembly, to the
take the broader view of the pub- con
lie welfare program, and to look tut
upon it for what it really is*, ty
onmely, an effort to provide?'* ,
better way of life for all?a so- XT
?ult'lv Mi which tlm mure fortunate
members are privileged to make ani
definite and impartial provision
- to prevent actual want on the mh
part of those who are less fortu- we>
nate but who have an equal u't
right with all to the means?of- -8?
subsistence. ?ei
on
None of-us, so long as we have in
anything to share, would alloAj ton
our next-door?or our back-dooi 194
neighbor?to suffer actual want
mcre.y because our budget would of
not balance, particularly if that ful
neighbor is in desperate need be- wh
cause of old age, blindness, or mo
other physical handicap, or is a er
widowed mother struggling t o noi
give her fatherless children a An
chance to become normal citizens. '
It is our confident belief that the fer
public and the General Assembly bes
will willingly make provision for oti
these needy neighbors of us all, of
once the pitiful fact of their des- pla
pernte need is fully understood. en<
One of the important duties im- 25(
posed by law upon the iDepart- ga
men', of Public Welfare is to de- for
termine that need by careful im- wa
partial- investigation, according to .-rstr.ndards
which are uniform | rui
mrougnout the state, and to pre- c '
P sent the facts to the"'public and So
the General Assembly. This duty un:
it has performed, we believe, in a so
manner that merits the hearty ap as
proval not only of this Board but > aof
the entire citizenship of the th(
state. It was a tremendous un- sis
dertrjdng to set up and get into ed
smooth operation an organization tri
of this type, and the task has isli
constantly , become heavier and bel
more complex by reason of the' its
many services demanded of the: ch;
Department of Public Welfare j ter
which no one could anticipate and to

Wj by law. Among the more inipor ( bel
' tant of these services, which State ( rai
and County Departments have va:

"Have You Read?"
PLOWING THROUGH. by^Ed:
win Ware Hullinger, 59 pp. Nejy
York, N. Y. William Morrow and
company.
In beginning hi* narrative, Mr
Hullinger almost frightens us
with the bold statement that:
"The Negro race in America" i?
still to a great extent a farming
people, its fate depending on what
happens in the fields ,of this country
and to the crops that conn
from them.'- He points out ?thc
important and yet precarious posi
tion the American Negro occupies
He- makes one wonder just what
would happen to the Americar
Negro if the' "agricultural door'
of opportunity should be sudden
ly closed to him. and this ques
tion arises, "Are there enough
other occupations to sustain inn
should .farming be taken awaj
from the Negro " Of course. th?
writer intimates that the Ameri
can Negro is safe:guurded in tha
the Natton depends so largely ui
him for "the production of its ma
jor crops-Miotton and tobacco
There is^? slight indication, how
ever, that the author inininn?F;
(he part which FRe Negro -playi
in other occupations in order t<
bring to the forefront?w+rrrt hp
does dn Agricultural It is ahvay:
difficult to characterize one grouj
of people where they are so close
ly associated with^ another group
without m?kin^~comparisons. Th
factrcalhnot be overlooked that th
problems of Negroes in Agricul
ture, as described by the writei
are primarily problems of whit
farmers as well; and therefor*
problems of the region.
The author infers that more
and more leaders of thought' ar
coming to realize that the time i
past when America can remain in
different .when any group of it
citizens is being' neglected.
The writer touches lightly 01
migration of Negroes from rura
areas to urban centers, and fror
South to North. In the past fio
years, mass move~ment of Negr
farmers has become a seriou
problem. Of course, there ar
very definite causes for such mov
fluents?both economic and socic
logical. Despite this rapid trail
sition, the parent Negro s?oc
still remains in the Deep South
and whether or not we are willin
to admit - it, the southern Negr
determines very largely the atti
tude of the white man toward th
Negro in America.
The recent depression prove*
that all farmers, including Negro
es, needed more than mere fnvm
al instruction and inspirations
guidance. Hence, the new actio
agencies created by the Unite;
States Department of Agrieultur
now engaged in rehabilitating a
almost hopeless mass of peopU
Here Henry A. Wallace might b
termed "the modern Joseph," wh
set in motion these new agencie
to bring about national reeoverj
The Movable School -of Agricul
ture and Home Economics is de
scribed as a unique type of teach
ing backward people, and certain
ly the most effective way of reaci
ing unlettered individuals, Book
er T. Washington being-given crei
it for the idea, along with th
Negro Farmers' Conference am
the National Negro Health Week
The writer "X-rayed" the Ne
gro situation in agriculture an<
"spotlighted" the work of the Ce;
sus Bureau by telling what Ne
groes are doing and the part the;
play in national agriculture. H
tells how many Negroes are still
after 75 <years of freedom, at th
bottom of the economic ladderas
well as pointing out those wh
have attained a measure of ec?
nomic freedom. He wisely cred
its philanthropy with the progres
of the Negro since emancipation
along with public aid. He put:
his finger on the vitally "sore'
spots affecting the rural Negr<
when he says "Chief among thi
evils which the pogr man on thi
farm?small owner, tennnt or la
borer?has 'tb face are poor hous
ing, high mortality, insecurity an<
debt," and he feels that no othe;
problem recently aggravated b}
agency can reach this disma
the depression, except the Fed
eral Govrnment.
The book is profusely illustrat
ed *and contains much valuable
factual data that?could?hr?nT
useful as supplementary readinf
material for schools. However
it seems that legends to the pic
tures would h&ve made them move
effective.
It is pleasing to note that thi
author made liberal use of re.
ports of Negro Extension Agent;
fronr the Southern Region.
In citing notable achievements
the author concludes that:
Given a chance, the Negro wil
carry his portion of the Nation';
