JEALOUS YOUNG EDUCATOR,
Bright Future Predicted For Thomas
D. Pawlcy at jackson College.

D. PawIey at jackson College.
Jackson. Miss.-Thomas d, Pawley,
who has been added to the faculty of
Jackson college. in this city. is one of
the most thoroughly educated men
among Afro Americans. He brings to
the school a large experience gathered
from the New England colleges in
which he studied. He prepared for
college at the Moody school. in North
ampton. Mass. one of the most noted
of the New England preparatory
schools
He then entered Amherst college,
from which he graduated in 1911. Ac-
tuated by desire for higher educa-
ton he entered Yale university. at
New Haven. where he did postgradu-
ate work in sociology and education.
His work at Yale was largely along
the line he will follow in his work at
jackson college.
Mr.. Pawley gives evidence of bril-
liant future and bears the earmarkS to
a degree of the ripe scholar. AL
though a product of two of the largest
and most influential of the New Eng
land colleges, he is extremely modest
and unaSSuming in his manner. He
talks reluctantly of his achievements,
and it was with much difficulty that
the above facts relative to his life
We're secured.
He represents the progressive type.
of the young manhood of the race and
believes in deeds rather than words.
The securing Of the services of Mr..
Pawley will mean much to the college
and will give much tone to the aca-
demic side of the school.
He worked his way through college.
depending wholly on his own re-
sources. He enters upon his new du
ties at the opening of the school well
prepared. Jackson college is one of
the largest schools in this section and
wields a wide influence
Located as it is in the heart of the
black belt region of the SOUTH it acts
as beacon light and has guided many
an ambitious youth to the right path
of usefulness. The school has turned
out many graduates, all of whom are
doing excellent as educators and lead
ers among our people.

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION PROSPERS.
Carlton Avenue Branch In Brooklyn
Shows Judioious Management.

At the first fall meeting of the com
mittee of management of the Carlton
avenue branch of the Young Mems
Christian association in Brooklyn
held the third week in September, re-
ports covering the different depart
ments of the work for the summer
were rendered.
The membership committee of which
Mr.. Elias Tilghman is chairman re-
ported an increase of thirty since the
beginning of the fiscal year, March 81
Several new members have Joined and
there has been quite a prompt re-
sponse upon the part of those whose
membership expired during the sum-
mer months.
Thus, with the number of new men,
bers secured and the renewal Of ex-
pired membership, the branch is
stronger numerically than it has been
for the past six months. By the care
full and judicious management of Sec
retary Rufus NJ. Meroney the financial
condition of the association has been
kept in good shape and the branch
starts its fall work with net balance
of S133
Preparations for opening the night
school are well under way, and large
enrolment of students is expected in
October. The English branches are
taught, and provision is made for
classes in stenography and typewrit-
ing, also classes in German and French
These latter subjects will be taught by
Secretary Meroney.

of the late Professor ]. II. Torbert
much will be expected of Mr.. Johnson,
and from present indications he will
measure up to the most critical expec
tations of those responsible for his ap-
pointme
By training experience and manner
he is amply fitted for his new post and
will put into his work "a large expert
ence which will make him valuable
addition to the faculty of the Fort Val
ley High and Industrial school. He
has the faculty of making and holding
friends, and his affable manners will
make his contact with the philanthro-
pists of the north both profitable and
impressive.
Like most men who have won their
spurs and who rise to eminence in any
particular field. Professor Johnson tells
a story of hard struggles in acquiring
his education. He was born in Green
Vile S. c.. and was educated in the
public schools of the city under Pro-
fessor ]. c. Martin. He walked dis
reach school, but he does not regret
this early experience. After finishing
the public schools. acting upon the ad-
vice of A. \. Robinson, one of his in
structors he entered Biddle universi-
ty, from which he was graduated in
1897.
He was one of the most prominent
men in college and took an active part
in college activities. Leaving Biddle,
he took up work in HARRISON college,
in Abbeville. S. c., one of the strong
est of the Presbyterian schools in that
section. For fifteen years he remained
a member of the faculty, during which
time he gathered a large and ripe ex-
perience.
His reputation as an efficient and
capable teacher soon reached other
parts, and when Professor Hunt, who
formerly taught him at Biddle, but
now the principal of the Fort Valley
High and Industrial school, was seek
ing for some one to represent the finan-
cial work of the school he Immediately
sought the services of Professor John
son. The promotion of Professor John
son to his new field meets the approval
of the large number of his friends
in educational circles throughout the
south.
He has long been prominent in edu-
cational circles of the south, and his
opinions on ma tiers relative to the ed.
ucational welfare of the race has Of
ten been sought
In the south he wields much influ.
cnce and takes an active interest in all
matters pertaining to the welfare OF
the race.
Professor Johnson has a strong and
forceful personality and is a man OF
