that the lights were turned on by

First. a discussion period. second. a

The-a=st- speaker Mrs-X

Negroes are seeing new horizons in
the matter OF business.
John c. Dancy, executive seere-
tsry of the Urban League. the next
speaker on the subject, Business
and Education. An Imperative Part
nership during the War and for the
Future" spoke from a business
mans view. Mr.. Dancy said that
he thought the business schools
knew pretty well what the demands
on them were. First of all they
must prepare trained people for the
business world. Business people
have right to expect a lot from
the business schools, but they
should not expect a freshly grad
usted young person to come into
perfectly strange business. and the

talks. sss y.a

view of the business schools. Mrs
Grooms said that at no time in our
history have we been faced with a
period when both education and
business are on trial as they are
today. They are virtually on the
well known spot"
The question and answer period
was opened by question by Percy
Jacks, who asked il il were true
that the public schools advised Me-
gro students 10 take the general
course rather than the college pre-
paratory? This was answered by
Mrs. Grooms who said she did not
know or rather did not have proof
of this. Questions were asked in
rapid succession by Ramon Scruggs,
Mr.. Gaines, Mr.. Lowe, and were
answered completely by Mrs.

Army To Replace
G.I. Instructors

The army needs civilian teachers
Immediately TO replace military
personnel as instructors in primary
education for illiterate soldiers and
expects to employ from 5000 to 5000
men and women by midsummer,
the War Department announced
recently.
Heretofore, the army has been
using soldier instructors to teach
illiterates. but the need for all men
possible for more active military
assignments has made it imperative
to replace soldiers with civilians in
army camp classrooms.
The instruction will be given in
special training units established
and operated by the Army Service
Forces at army installations
throughout the country. Illiterates
are sent 10 these units for instruc-
tion in reading. writing. and arith-
metic. At present. there are 10 such
training units. the majority in the
South. II is anticipated that more
will be created.
White and Negro teachers are
needed, both men and women.
There are no age limits for appli-
cants. Instruction is comparable TO
that given in the first four grades OF
elementary schools, but it is not
necessary that an applicant have
experience in primary instruction.
Standards for acceptance will ap-
proxima,e those established by
teacher organizations and school
crediilng associations in commune
ties where an applicant is or has
been employed.
Commanding generals OF Service
Commands have been authorized 10
act as employing agents. Qualified
persons should apply 10 the head
quarters OF the Service Command
for their respective states for COM
plete details.
