The Palmetto State Teachers' ^ Association functions largely through its executive committee of ten men and one woman. In the . ~ absence of the convention; these people make _ cflnlacts_hold sea j sions and discuss seriously the ' things that are for the beBt in. teiest of the Negro teachers of \ South Carolina. , I During the past ten month the r" P executive committee held several _ meetirgs: one with the legislative c mmittee in the office of Dr. James H. Hope, state superinten dent of education; one in the Gov. - ernor's office, and was also?ad-. mitted to the ways and m?-ans ^ committee in the senate where the r, plea of the Negro teachers for ennal salarv and a solution to the problem of transportation! and cer. . tification' was presented for the committee and from the committee T by Principal Samuel L. Finley of P1 ? Chester. ? 1 The executive committee do. p nated $500 to the general fun,l to " care for .the expenses of studying. certification gf all teachers in i South Carolina, in conjunction with ? copimittee of white educators and business men in a similar committee working cm plans for v certification o? South Carolina's ^ teachers. The committee of Negro mrrhTTs?rrre?riot on the?outside looking in, they are an integral part of the general scheme. ]j. The executive committee, through <.j its efforts, has caused a large in. crease for a majority of the teacn ers in Negro schools this sesyion; jbua service has been made avail. Q( able where ever needed, and N'e w v grey school will run longer with pr jadded tenure^ach _year yntil.every_ m TTT. - school runs 8 months. These are some of the blessings that have . come to Negro teachers through the intelligent work of the ex. ecutive committee of the Palmetto ' Teachers' Association. . ? Pi THE IDEAL LEADER B J From the writing of Dr. Charles Stelzle K* . MoseR was the great leader who ^ 1^" delivered from cruel bondage mill c( ions of Israelites who were slaves in Egypt. He might well serve j as an example for the modern '. leader. The development of such a leader is always a slow process, j * Ui- There is so much at stake, and jf ivolved. that the raw enthusiast jP fr can not be entrusted with the pow er of leadership. J j) I f Enhusiasm there shduld be, but or fit must be an enthusiasm founded j upon intelligence, knowledge and te self control. It required long s( years of solitude in the land of w , Midian to transform the hot- h I , blooded Moses, the adopted son of at Pharoeh's daughter, into the mod- ' est Moses whose name has be to come a synonynf for meekness. n< "Learned in all the wisdom of the m 'gyptians". no\eGhel?ss he need., u tiiv sotnaiy, deep-thinking life f ihe s.cpherd on the hillside to re pare hitn for the great task of Htling out into liberty the slaves f the Egy. tiim ruler. kHe came, too, with the coni< usness of sure victory, because e Knew that his cause was just. -tt*--m?rg Than--t+nrt,~~he nvss con. dent because he came in the spir of a strong moral faith. This mancipation in w'hich he wis anit to lead was more than an onoinie deliverance dependent pon bin te strength, and the ubil of a mere man to exercise un seal power. He had back of him n> Omnipotent God of Abraham, t* Irane and of Jacob, the foreithers of the a icted Israelites. The qualities that were so conno ous in Moses must be found i the modern leader. lie must e of the people, for he must uni '-stand their needs. He must ave had an experience v'aich obeved him, so that he is frmilir with tbe deeper, truer th ngs r life. lie must depend not so uch upon his speech as' upoi his harncter. He must have the nwer which can come along thru hcj consciousness that his camo is ust. and that back of him. too., s He was back of Moses, stands h."
