Hon. Bond Speaks
Al Negro Chamber
Meeting, April 3
By James A. White

DR.. w. F. Bond who was state
superintendent of education for 20
years, and commissioner of public
welfare since 1888; made an inspir-
ing and humorous address, before
the Negro Chamber of Commerce,
Tuesday night Dr. Bond said that
his first act, as school teacher, was
to untile knots in little boys gall
louses. And 81 nee then he has been
trying to unite knots in the affairs
of people.
DR.. Bond explained the Federal
Social Security Act. This act pro-
vides ten services: Two for health,
two for education, one for employ
ment insurance, one for old age
insurance, and four for state well
fare; as follows: Old age assistance,
aid to the bind, aid to needed chill
dren, child welfare service.
In his detail account of how these
four services, were administered
by the state welfare commission;
DR.. Bond gave this interesting in
formation of the old age assist
ance. Mississippi gives cash relief
to approximately $4,000 people over
IS years old, 1911 in Kinds county.
Of the people over IS, 40 per cent
are colored and go per cent are
white. Out of every hundred peo-
pie helped, approximately IS are
colored.
DR.. Bond said that an arrange
ment was made with the Piney
Woods school to care for colored
blind, and praised the splendid job
being done by the school. He also
stated that consideration was be-
ing given colored orphan children.
A splendid set up has been made
to help prisoners hit the come
back trail
DR.. Bond announced the policy
of the welfare commission, which
reflected his big Christian heart.
He stated, that, because of the lack
of state proporiated funds, they
must figure the actual needs of the
needed and give them II per cent
of their needs.
The Negro Chamber of Com
merce will try to assist the welfare
commission by passing on the. in
formation. The next regular meet
ing, which will be held Tuesday,
May |, will be a banquet at jack
son college.
