time on the changes recommended 10 bill
No. 8,
Section 2 changes the beginning of the
school year from the second Monday in
August to thaafirst Tuesday after Labor
Day in September. At present the sum-
mer vacation is StoO short, in fact too
short to allow teachers gan opportunity to
leave the island for study or other ex-
tended visits. The longer vacation in
summer is also 10 keeping with the prac-
tice elsewhere.
Section 4 deals with the licenses of
teachers. The Board found the licenses
of teachers quite confusing and in the
case of special teachers very meaning
less. A look at the roll of teachers will
reveal the fact that the great majority
of teachers are classified as special teach
ers, though they are not special teachers
in the true n of the word. This Sec
ton would change principal teachers,
graded teachers and assistant graded
teachers to first class teachers. second
class teachers and third class teachers,
and would divide special teachers into A
and B, the former being graiI4te5 OF
colleges, universities. etc, and the latter
those wao have qualified to teach spa-
cial subjects, as music, domestic science,
etc. To the list OF teachers has been add
ed temporary teachers who have not the
qualifications Of any mentioned above but
whose services are required to fill exist.
ing vacancies until qualified teachers are
available. At the present time principal
teachers whose pay is limited by the code
are made special teachers in order to give
them more pay. We found one case Of
a principal teacher holding a principal
license was rated as a graded teacher be-
cause be hadn't sufficient qualification to
Justify the pay OF a principal teacher,
Among special teachers you will find
teachers who are graduates of colleges
and universities; in other words a special
teacher may be one drawing from Frcs.

some on the list of special teachers VINO
are not qualified as teachers but in some
instances it was necessary to classify
them as such to serve only when their

n. A. A. G. P. AND CARNEY.

The New York Crisis, organ of the
N. A. A. C. P. in its February
issue goes back to its first love-,
so to speak, in its comment on the
great Negro advocate and dreamer"
the Hon. Marcus Garvey. It says:
"Many persons are under the i'm
press on that the n. A. A. G. P.
has geen the persistent enemy Of
Marcus Garvey. This is due TO re-
peated accusations published in the
Negro World without the slightest

In condemning Marcus Garvey's
alleged servility to the white people
of this country in that he apparently
justified their discrimination against
the black people and urged these
same black people to go to their
own land, Africa, where they could
build up a Government, which in
turn could give the white man q
Roland for his Oliver, he awakened
all of the disgust inherent in the
able New Yorker and he struck back
in a manner that gave the impress
ion that the National Association FOR
the Advancement Of Colored People
was offic' ally behind these yitriolic
attacks.
But the elimination of it all IS
contained In the following deliver
ance:
eve are reminding our readers OF
all this not to revive forgotten ran
cor but for the sake OF historical
accuracy. When Garvey was sent to
Atlanta no word or action OF ours
accomplished the result. His release
and deportation was matter Of law
which no deed or wish Of ours In
fluenced in the slightest degree. We
have TODAY. no enmity against Mar
Gus Garvey. He has q great and
worthy dream. We wish him we'll.
He Is free; he has following; he
still has a chance to carry on his
work in his own home and. among
his own people and to accomplish
some of his ideals. Let him do It.
We will be the first to applaud any
success that he may have.
Good Lord deliver as! So The
lion and the leopard lie down In
different "jungles". The lion (Mar-
Gus Garvey) is summing himself in
Kingston, Jamaica and the leopard
wv. E. B. DuBois) rs resting in
New York, N. Y. There Is but
little money in Jamaica and there
is much money in New York. Mar
Gus Garvey may we'll exclaim in the
words of Shakespeare.
IT thank thee, Jew.
Certainly, we shall be surprised
should he accept this declaration at
its face value and advance too, with
the olive branch of peace. 1t may
be that the tempter will arouse
other passions within his breast and
fh's quotation may better suit his
present mood
'He hath d'sgraced me, and hin
dered me half a million; laughed at
my losses, Knocked at my gains
scorned my nation, thwarted my
bargains, cooled my friends, heated
mine enemies: and what's his reas-
on? I am Jew.
Be that as it may, We have read
with pleasure, not unmixed with sat
isfaction fhis tribute to the fighting
black leader of the West Indies.
The incarceration of him in prison
has gwen Marcus Garvey a new
lease of life and as we before pro-
phesied, made a martyr Of him IN
behalf of the cause. which he repre-
sents. Selah.
