Legion Sidelite
BY JULIUS E. HILL

There isn't much time left now for
ex-servicemen to join the post and be
of help to this years quota. The
time limit is set for May the 3Oth,
1914 and May isn't far off.
Roosevelt Post No. 80, The Amer
lean Legion, wants five hundred
members, Why? Simply because
there are that many and more exser-
vicemen in the city who could do no
better than becoming members.
Things aren't going to be any too
good after the close of the war. In
fact there are bound to be tougher
times than there were after world
war No. /. Being a member of a
post makes it a lot easier for ex-
soldiers to get eeded assistance.
OF course that shouldn't be the
only reason for an ex-soldier join
ing a Legion post. There is more
than that to the Legion. 1t has a Soc
ial, civic and even a national import
ance as we'll. And even that isn't all.
Religion plays a great part in its set
up, thereby making it a worthy organ
ization for men in all walks Of life
to belong to.
One, (persons eligible) must be a
member before he can possibly under
stand and realize the e-xpansiveness
of the American Legion setup. One
can't take the information concerning
it from others as being wholly auth
entic. Many persons have a way Of
making mis-statements.
So the best thing for an exservice
man to do, is join the American Le-

WILBERFORCE ACCREDITED
BY THE AMERICAN ASSOC.
OF TEACHERS COLLEGES

OF TEACHERS COLLEGES
Wherefore, Ohio-President Char
les Il. Wesley announced this week
that the Accrediting Committee of
the American Association of Teach
ers Colleges had recommended the
placing Of the College Of Education
of Wilberforce University on the ac-
credited list of the Association at its
recent annual meeting. This action
gives increased status and national ap
proval to teacher-training facilities
and certification which have already
been receiving approval from the De-
partment of Education of the State
of Ohio. This accreditation is the
second n attained by Wilberforce
within a period of two years. The
first was the removal in 1943 of the
probationary acrreditation granted BY
the North Central Association of Col
leges in 1889. The approval Of the
American Association OF Teachers
Colleges is described by the recon-
mendation as a full accreditment."
The concluding statements of the
report of the Inspection Committee
are: The Committee left with a feel
ing that a visit to Wilberforce is
worthwhile if for nothing else than
to be exposed to the wholesome earn
estness Of the faculty and of the stu
dents, too. Your Committee feels
that the North Central Association
acted wisely in Internationally accred-
iting WHEREFORE University and rec
ommends the full accreditment by the
