WORK OF THE NATIONAL
NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION
hiah Tribute Paid 70 its Efforts by W.
Anthony Asry.

Mr.. w. Anthony Aery. press agent
ut the Hampton (Va.) institute. pays a
high tribute to the efforts, work and
achievements of the National Negro
Press association In an article which
recently appeared in the Southern
Workman. The article in full is as
follows:
Wider publicity for the facts of Ne
gro progress and problems OF race ad-
iustment Is being everywhere secured
through heartier and more systematic
cooperation among Negro editors and
correspondents. Today men have a
better chance than they have ever had
before to secure accurate and timely
facts concerning the struggles und sue
q sses Of colored people. especially In
the south. An important factor in the
widening and deepening Of public In
terest in the Negro as a progressive
and vital element in American civiliza-
ton is the National Negro, Press asso'
citation, organized in 1909 and given
new life in 1912 at the Chicago meet
ing Of the National Negro Business
league .r,t .......
The officers and members Of the Ne
rro Press association are working mar
moniously for the highest develop
ment of Negro journalism" Their
policy is that of printing 1.-The news
without fear or favor. giving true re-
flex of existing conditions without con-
cealing evil" Their policy also In
cludes the publication of Negro
newspaper and publishers directory
and the establishment Of higher stand
ards in advertising. business methods
and news service for the public.
The work on the directory Is being
ably done by Henry Allen Boyd OF
Nashville, Tenn. the national CORE
spending secretary. The problems OF
working out a plate service and OF de-
veloping n reciprocal news service are
being worked out by subcommittee
of the executive for action at the an
nual meeting Of the association to be
held in Philadelphia in August.
The white papers are coming to re-
alize that the public is interested IN
Negro progress. They are printing Us
news items the advance of the Amer
lean Negro in landowning. home build
ing. community and school improve
ment. The Negro papers are devot'
ing more space to live news con-
corning their own people and less to
sensational material in which the
ways, and not the best ways. of White
people are exploited. In short, there
is a gratifying growth in the common
interest Of giving all the people all the
news Of mutual progress and good
will.

BGYS' WORLD OPEN TO
NO ONE BUT A BOY
Robert J Burdett's Sympathetic and
Amusing Description of Healthy
Youth.

e A boys world is open to no one but a
boy. You never really revisit the
ghmpses of your boyhood much as you
may dream of it, After you get into a
tail coat and tight boots you never
again set foot in boy world.
You lose this marvellous instinct of
the woods, you can't tell pig nut tree
from a pecan, you can't make friends
with strange dogs, you'c can't make the
terrific noises with your mouth, you
can't invent the inimitable signals or
the characteristic catchwords of boy
hood.
He is getting on, is YOUR boy. He
reaches the dime novel age. He wants
to be a missionary. Or a pirate. So
far as he expresses any preference, he
would rather be pirate, an occupation
in which there, are more chances of
making money and fewer opportunities
for being devoured.
He develops a yearning love for school
and study about this time, also, and
every time he dreams of being a pirate
he dreams Of hanging his dear teacher
at the yardarms in the presence of the
delighted scholars. His voice develops,
even more rapidly and thoroughly than
his morals. In the yard. on the house
top, down the street, around the corner.
wherever there is patch of ice big en-
ough for him to break his neck on, or a
pond of water deep enough to drown in,
the voice of your boy is heard.
He whispers in a shout, and converses.
in ordinary, confidential moments. in a
Shrek. He exchanges bits of back
fence gossip about his fathers domestic
matters with the boy living in the adj
jacent township, to which interesting
revelations of home life the immediate
neighborhood listen with intense salts.
faction, and the two home circles in
helpless dismaY.
He has an uncomfortable hatred for
company, and an aversion for walking
downstairs. For year or two his feet
never touch the stairway in his descent,
and his habit of polishing the stair rail
by using it as passenger tramway soon
breaks the other members of the family
of the careless habit Of setting the hall
lamp or the water pitcher on the bal
ulster post.
HI wears the same size boot as his
father; and on the dryest, dustiest days
in the year always manages to convey
some mud on the carpets. He carefully
steps over the door mat, and until he
is about II years old he actually never
knew there was scraper at the front
porch. Robert J. Burdette.
