An Interview With
Rev. ]. ]. Glow
BIZ EuniS Mott

Back, after an extensive trip
east, as far as Boston; south as
far as Houston, Texas and Los
Angeles, is the Reverend James j.
Glow, pastor of Mount Olivet Bap-
fist church. Knowing how the
community as whole has missed
DR.. Glow, have taken this OPP
portunity to relate to you some
of the highlights of his well-spent
vacation. First of all, the main
purpose of this trip was to attend
the National Baptist Convention in
st. Louis, Mo.Among the eight
hundred or thousand delegates our
minister spent one week. Continu-
ing his tour, the Reverend visited
New York, where he preached to
the members and friends of the
Bethesda Baptist church, at which
church ]. Raymond Henderson is
the pastor. Next, he inspired au-
diences at the Union Baptist
church in Cambridge, Mass, and
the First Baptist church in Mon
rovia, Calf, at which F. Harris
Davis and John Davies are pastors,
respectively.
I think the most entertainment
of his trip was the family reunion
with his parents at Boswell, Okla
homa. The memories which were
brought back to Reverend Glow,
we will leave with him; because
they are solely part of him which
is indeed sacred.
DR.. Glow commented that the
National Baptist Convention, Inc,
has made bid to unite the other
Negro conventions into one. Also
that the negro occupation in de-
partment stores in New York is
one third per cent which increases
the trade of the Negro.
His dynamic personality beam
ed to the utmost at the closing of
this interesting interview, when the
Reverend DR.. Glow stated, 81 had
good rest and I am glad to come
back and go to work where I left
off," This was said with a gen.
uine feeling of sincerity and I'm
sure that everyone will be just as
sincere in helping Reverend Glow
make his stay here just as en-
couraging and profitable as it can
be made. Mrs. Glow accompanied
Oh. Glow on his extended trip.

..ONE.TEACHER" SCHOOLS HELD
DISAPPEARING

state Superintendent Says Tiny Units
Have Been Gut Three-Quarters
The steady march of school con-
solicitations in Maryland has reduced
The number of one-teacher schools by
more than three-fourths in the last
eighteen years, Dr. Albert S. Cook,
State Superintendent of Schools, re-
ports
DR.. Cook made public figures show
ing that there were only 2S3 one
teacher schools when the present
school year began, as compared with
LII in 1920. In each succeeding
year, he said, there have been fewer
han the year before. There are forty
ne fewer this year than last.
There were 1888 white pupils in
ne-teacher schools during the 1886
81 school year, which was IA per
.ent. CT the total white elementary
enrolment, DR.. Cook said.
He said, consolidation of schools,
wen though it involved the expense
# transporting pupils by bus, has
brought a lowering in the per pupil
ost of instruction.
Most recent figures in Maryland
how that it costs $52.41 per year to
.nstruct the average county pupil in
/ one-room school, as against $47.20
n graded county schools.
The lowering of the cost of in
,truction is in addition to the adj
Jantages in sanitation, health, recre-
ton and other factors of school
environment which come with larger
md more modern schools.
DR.. Cooks figures showed that
Nicomico, Caroline and Montgomery
COUNTIES led the way in school con-
olidation during the year from Oc-
cher, 1886, to October, 1887.
Wicimico, reduced her number of
ne-tea her schools from sixteen to
sight, Montgemery's decrease was
rom twelve to five, and Caroline's
was from seven to none.
Baltimore and Caroline counties
low have no one-teacher schools.
Anne Arundel and Calvert counties
lave one each. At the other end of
he list are Washington with thirty
;ix and Garrett with fifty-six.
