PRESENTS RESOLUTIONS.

The Negro Organization Society
assembled in Staunton, virginia
observing with unbiased vision the
agencies employed in the promotion
of the program of better schools,
better homes, better health anu
better farms and, noting with what
success these efforts have met of1ers
the following resolutions:
/. That we express our unquallled
gratitude for what has been done by
the State in advancing the standard
of education among Negroes; Tor
whatever grounds for future I'm
proyement we may recognize, now
ever. we see still the OUTSTANDING
needs of further accomplishments III
the line of a larger number or weT
oualified teachers, encouraged by the
promise of a more adequate salary
better buildings with suitable equip
ment and longer school terms. we
therefore urge the State to enlarge
the facility for teacher training by
the establishing another Normal
School for Negro aspirants, TO use
ire mower to increase teachers sal
aries to build and equip more suit
able elementary and, high schools
We recommend that each city
town and county have local com
mittee to ascertain and determine
the needs of the school, within us
jurisdiction, and present these needs
, authoritatively, to the school, ooaro
to the hopeful end that the BOARD
would hear the representations ana
mass favorabiy upon the same when-
yer nossib'e. We further bel1eVe
that it would be sane and feasible
to have a Negro to serve as an as,
sistant to the State Supervisor OF
j. Negro Schools in Virginia. we 1ur'
Their urge parents to send their chll
dren to school promptly and regu'
larlv to the end that the schools
might better accomplish their pnr'
pose.
5. We highly appreciate the worR
that is being done at Piedmont San
atorium for the relieving or human
suffering by lessening the terrible
rayages of tuberculosis. Indeed II
seems that this hitherto unbridied
monster will soon be under the
power of scientific skill; and that
his glory wiz be faded mower
therefore we renew our pledge to
continue our support to this worthy
cause: and that we with unfeigneo
approval give thanks to DR.. M. y.
Davis and to all who have helped
to make it possible for him to have
reached almost enviable success. Ws
also endorse the work of the State
Dentist and urge our people to take
advantage of the good offered them
a. We recognize that home is the
shrine of human affection and the
one place where earthly bliss anc
Heavenly visions lose themselves II
one common ecstasy. Thus we ap
prove every effort made to improve
our homes, looking forward to the
IDEAL in morals. industry, genera
Intelligence.
3, We are mindful of the fact thai
the stability of nation rests upol
the prosperity of it's citizens; ant
the prosperity OF the people In large
measure depends upon the fertlllt!
of the soil and the skillful hand o
the husbandman, therefore the Ell
forts af this. society greatly appea
to our best judgment and hep.
G. The tender hand of sympathy
and charity held over the delinquen
girls at Peakes and boys at Hanover
