with the educational progress of
Mississippi. Dean johnson has for
many years been head of the legis-
lative committee which has faced
many embarrassment no doubt in
behalf of the group. He has been
the recognized advocate of the
equalization of teachers salaries.
His popularity throughout the state
was evidenced by the large number
of votes cast in his behalf during
the recent state meeting Dean john
son has kept in close touch with
the city and rural schools and by
training and experience he is ex-
pected to guide the association to
higher realms. He enjoys the con-
fidence and esteem Of both the tea
cher in the poorest grade school and
the professor in the best college
His training at Fisk and Columbia;
his knowledge of conditions in his
native state, together with heart
that beats for the neglected, fully
prepare him for a service that
should live long in the annals of
the associations history. Nearly g.

made for the Mississippi Associa-
ton of Teachers in Colored Schools,
one of the ablest and most courag-
eous leaders it has claimed in all
its existence. Unlike much political
gossip which ran amuck before his
election, Mr.. Bishop was always un-
tied and free to speak the senti-
ments of his heart. He made a new
day in Mississippi for young Ne
gro leadership and was able to hold
those who helped to elect him,
while winning the unstinted sup
port and esteem of those who voted
for the other candidates. President
Bishop brought more honor to the
name of Jackson College, his alma
mater, and gave it more strength
and cause to exist and succeed Few
presidents have been able to steer
so free OF cheap politics as did Prof
Bishop. He proved himself a true
statesman and thereby added pres
tige to the state organization. A fair
and impartial history will place
him in the column of one of the
fairest, ablest, and most conscient-
ious of all our presidents. Congrat-
ulations again, Prof. Bishop.

Two Negro Homes
Just happened to think of two
colored homes / visited recently in
Conlmbus Any one, white or black,
who doubts the Negroes apprecia-
ton for beauty and cleanliness
should just see these two homes.
They belong to DR.. and Mrs Chas.
Hur ter, and Mr.. and Mrs James
L. Allen. DR.. and Mrs. Hunter are
well known in Jackson. They know
something about Campbell College,
Mississippi's AME school. Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen are equally well known.
Mrs Allen is the sister of Mrs. Toll
live of Canton. She was at one
time teacher in Copiah county;
later Jeanes supervisor in the
state. She halls from Vicksburg.
She is a graduate of Livingstone
college, an AMEZ school, Little
wonder therefore that these two
homes are greatly influenced by
Christian education Mr.. Allen, the
city's colored druggist, is from
down in Pike county, which also
gave us Prof. j. E. Johnson and
Miss F. 0. Alexander, nationally
known educators The Hunter and
Allen homes are practically sur
rounded by whites, but no home on
this popular street is more beauti-
full than those owned by the Ne
groes in the community. In fact,
the yards of these two colored
homes far excel any of the white
yards in the entire block. Whites
come to these homes for beautiful
bouquets. One would never be able
to tell, by merely observing the
homes, whether the aristocrat whit
es live there or refined colored;
they are just good-looking homes.
No friction at all in the community.
They are just neighbors and citi-
zens.
Secretary Buck
Jackson must surely be proud of
a newcomer there, in the person
of James R. Buck, secretary of the
"Y''. Secretary Buck is quite above
the average in technical training.
He is product of Straight and
Fisk. The writer grew in deeper
appreciation of his value while at
finding the Hi-Y conference in Co.
l.nbus recently. He is trained to
do business on time; to plan pro-
gram; and to recognize the import
3nce of running on schedule and
by schedule; an important phase
that should be more seriously adj
he, ed to by so many of our organi-
zations. We must face the music
and fact that too much valuable
time is lost in the majority of our
meetings. Much of which, however,
is due to improper planning. Be-
lieve it or not, but returning veter-
ans will not sit idly by while pre-
cious time burns away in the des-
ert air, after having been in Uncle
Sans army where things happen
by the minute and not by the week.
We who would keep pace with the
veterans must above all formulate
a program that is snappy, timely
and devoid of so much lost motion.
Secretary Bucks leadership is able
to prepare our young men for sun
dry fields of usefulness of which
we stand in dire need
