includes the publication of a Negro

and the establishment of higher
standards in advertising, business

problems of working out a plate

ones.
The time has come for giving full
publicity to the good work which the

THE NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION
Wider publicity for the facts Of
Negro progress and problems of race
adjustment is being everywhere Sc
cured through heartier and more
systematic cooperation among Ne
gro editors and correspondents. To-
day men have better chance than
they have ever had before to secure
accurate and timely facts concerning
the struggles and successes Of col
ored people, especially in the South.
An important factor in the widening
and deepening of public interest in
the Negro as progressive and vital
element in American civilization, is
the National Negro Press Association
organized in 1909 and given new life
in 1912 at the Chicago meeting OF the
National Negro Business League.
