Would Educate Negroes.

Lexington, Ky.-The most important
action of the Southern Educational AS
sociation, which closed it's eighteenth
annual session here Saturday, came
at the last moment before adjourn
ment, when the committee on resolu
tions presents the following strong
resolutions on negro education, which
were adopted unanimously:
I'VE endorse the accepted policy of
the states # the South in providing
facilities Tor The youth of the negro
race, believing that whatever the ulti.
mate solution of this grievouS prob
lem may be, education must be an inn
portant factor in that solution. We be-
lieVe that the education of the negro
in the elementary branches of educa-
tion should be made thorough and
should include specific instruction in
hygiene and home sanitation for the
better protection OF both races. We
believe that in the secondary educa-
tion of negro youth emphasis should
be placed upon agriculture and the
industrial occupations, including nurse
training. domestic science and home
economies. We beieve rhat for prac-
SONS negro teachers should be pro-
vided for negro schools. We recon-
mend that ir urban and rural negro
schools there should be closer and
more thorough supervision, not only
by city AMI county superintendents,
but also by directors of music, draw
ing. manual raining and other special
topics. On account of economic and
ply siological difference in the two
races we believe that there should be
a difference in com ses of study and
methods of teaching, and that there
should be such an adjustment of school
cCrricula as shall lheet the evident
needs of negro youth We insist upon
such an equitable distribution Of. the
school funds that all the youth of the
negro race shall have at least an OPP
portunity to receive elementary edu-
cation provided by the state and in
the administration of state laws ana
in the execution OF this educational
policy we urge patience tolerance and

1t was not because her husband
wanted soup three times a day that
the woman applied for divorce. That
was the least of her troubles. Cater
ing to soup-loving man is about as
easy as anything in married life. The
woman who is skillful mixer can
keep the pot on all the time and when
she sees her husband coming a block
away she can light fire and greet
him with warm plate of soup. A
progressive woman might even have a
pipe line from the kitchen to the table
with faucet over her husbands
plate so there would be no irritating
delays. No, furnishing soup was the
least of the troubles of the woman
who got the divorce 1t was when
her husband followed her into the
