NJ. Grant Lucas, president of the
Columbian Educational Association,
is receiving commentator of school
officials for the enterprise his organ
iZation displayed by publishing a so
page illustrated journal depicting the
high character of colored elementary
and high schools in Washington.
Three thousand copies of the book
were distributed 10 members of the
department of superintendence at the
recent convention held in this city.
1.-The expense Of the Journals prep
aration," President Lucas points out
in notice on the editorial page for
the information of the public in con-
nection with future issues, lis inde-
pendent of the current years member
ships in the Columbian Educational
Association. The real aim Is to have
it stand on its own legs and pay for
itself. AS soon as arrangements can
be perfected we will have the bulk of
the work performed in the print
shops of cur schools. And then we
will be able to make it free to the
members Of the association. But until
this can be done it will be necessary
to place the price of 25 cents on the
copy. The understanding, however,
Is that whatever funds can be realize d
from it's sale over and above the cost
of it's production will go into the
treasury of the association.
mo one will profit, therefore. from
the sales of the copies. The work is
altruistic and those who aid in il are
altruiStS. not Spectators.
