The Negroes Eternal Hunt For Jobs

With thousands of young people being graduated
from high schools and colleges at this of the
year minds naturally turn to the eternal task of
jobhuntng that stalks every Negro in the South Bar
red from other than the most mental employment in
municipal county and state governments the average
high school college trained Negro finds himself fac
ing world for the most part that refuses to give him
opportunity to work regardless of his ability train
ing and character solely on the grounds that he is
Negro.
In spite of the courageous fight carried through
the years by the National Association for the Advance
of Coored People behalf OF full citizenship for Negro
feel that of the present greatest needs is
organization devoted entirely to the task of job finding
for the especially those of high school and college
rank. The NAACP is fighting for advancement all
fronts and could probably stand relief from the
sponsibity of trying to open up fields of employ
ment for the race.
. An inspection of the offices and other top ranking
positions in city county and state governments main
tdi1ed out of ali the taxpayers money will disclose that
the Negro citizen is getting practically of the jobs.
AS result thousands of young people forced
Ito seek employment in the already crowded field of
teaching accept jobs that provide little outlet
or reward for the long years they spent in preparing
= Themselves q :. - 4.
The question of jobs for Negro high school and col
ege graduates, think, demands careful study and
planning if young people not to become diScour
aged and resort to of earning living that is not
inspiring, if not questionable THE JACKSON ADVO-
CATE would like to organized and concerted effort
put forth by Negroes statewide basis to open up
fields of employment fol their group

to wellfounded reports were COM
pletely disregarded at a meeting
here last week with the Legislative
Educational Study Committee
which has written the bills for ac-
ton at an extra session of the
State legislature which Governor
White plans to call following
the decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court.
The meeting of the representa-
tives of the Negro Teachers or
ganization with members of the
legislative Educational Stud
committee is seen as having been
brought about by objections raised
by representatives of the Negro
Teachers organization at a prev
ious meeting with Governor Hugh
White at which they pointed out
certain Objectionable features in a
number of the proposed bills.
Chief points of objections of the
Negro Teachers is the use of the
words satisfactory" and "discre-
ton" in certain of the proposed
bills.
The Negro teachers pointed out
that learning any part of the ac-
tion necessary to bring about
equalization of educational oppor-

dition existing at present.
The Negro teachers insisted that
all matters of equalization be spell
ed out without leaving anything
to the satisfaction or discretion
of anyone.
According to reports, Atty. Ney
Gore, secretary of the Legislative
Educational Study Group, and
spokesman at the meeting told
the Negro representatives that no
changes would be made in the pro-
posed bills, and after abiding to
the possibility that the insistence
of the Negro teachers for more
than was contained in the propos-
ed bills, told them that the courts
would be always open to them in
which to make their complaints.
The spokesman for the Negro
Teachers was Prof. J. D. Boyd,
President of the association who
headed a committee which includ-
ed Prof. A. A. Alexander, Prof.
C.. Washington, Prof. p. S. Bishop,
and Prof. A. L. Johnson.

Misery comes with trouble; sin
starts it all
This world is in hell of a fix
1t is the lover of money sin
The Bible tells me this is truly so
1t so, where does the leaders of
the churches begin?
They start with a price and taxa
ton
Are you following the program of
Christ?
Since Christ is the doorway to
Heaven
My people are you living the right
life?
The Bible says the love of money
is the root of all evil
How can you tell money lover?
Preaching and taxing the people
And telling them your Heaven is
above.
No man can change the Holy Bible
And tell me this is the right way
If | have told you a lie
You can call it a story, it won't
pay.
Too many is in Gods house today
And it won't make your life sraight
You have got to obey the program
of Christ
Or else you will be stopped at the
gate.
Now this is the program of Jesus
The Holy Bible is not to, be chang
ed i slbtGa4B
Regardless of all of your learning
With all of your degrees you OBJ
tain.
| have lived in this world for its
pleasure
| have finish with the world and
her sin
| am obeying the program of
Jesus
He is standing at Heavens door
to let me in.
There are too many modern day
leaders
Full of degrees and no Christ
How can they be leaders for Jesus?
And have never been born a new
life.
Jesus was not a church beggar
He died to save those who was lost
To all who would believe on him
And His father in Heaven is the
Boss.
Jesus was a redeeming Christ
No one else was fit to die for
the world,
But the fathers son from on high.
