Principals Workshop At Tuskegee
Institute Draws Wide Interest
Outstanding Educators Serve AS Consultants

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, June 81.
In the belief that the school prin
cipal is key figure in the modern
approach to the many problems
confronting public school educa-
ton, the Southern Education Foun-
dation in cooperation with the sew
eral State Departments of Educa-
ton over the South is sponsoring
a ten-week Principals Workshop
at Tuskegee Institute this summer.
Forty-six principals of public ell
ementary and secondary schools
from thirteen states are in attend
ance. Dr.. Alonzo j. Davis, Dean
of the Tuskegee Institute School
of Education is directing this
initial Principals Workshop. EN-
phasis is upon the improvement of
techniques and completeness of the
school principal.
Assisting DR.. Davis, and serving
as day to day chairman, is A.
Odell Thurman, principal of Wen
dell Phillips School, Kansas City,
Missouri. He has for the past
several years served as visiting
professor of Education in the Tus-
kegee Institute Summer School,
Consultants for the Workshop
were chosen for their capabilities
in the several problems to be stud
led. They are: DR.. Maurice Ahrens,
Director Curricular Services, Cor
pus Christi Public Schools, Corpus
Christi, Texas; DR.. S. E. Duncan,
Supervisor, Negro High Schools,
State of North Carolina and Wis
iting Professor Of Education, Tus-
kegee Institute; Vernon Mcdaniel,

mingham Public Schools; DR.. V. H.

tives of the Southern Education
Foundation of Atlanta, Georgia;
representatives Of the several De-
partments of Education from the
Southern States and DR.. F. D. Pat
terson and members of his faculty
and staff. The steadily increasing
number of consolidated schools in
creases the responsibility of lead
ership which can effectively COM
bine the several agencies and
groups for dynamic approaches to
the problems of public school edu-
cation.
The 46 principals selected by
their states to attend the workshop
were granted full-expense scholar
ship. Two major factors in making
their period of study effective and
pleasant are the services of Mrs.
Mary Henry Gresham as office as
sistant and the Tuskegee Institute
librarian, Mr.. M. D. Sprague.
Resource Personnel include men,
bers of the Tuskegee Institute fac
ulty; representatives of State De-
partments of Education in the

lows: G. w. Adams, Hearne, Tex;

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

Willie Smith was a good natur-
ed fellow who enjoyed just about
every minute of his life. It didn't
matter whether he was working
or what he was doing; there was
always something that amused
him. He kept everybody around
him in good spirits, and he was
honest. Willie didn't want any
thing that didn't belong to him
all he wanted was what did.
One day Willie lost his wallet
with his Social Security Card in
it along with a couple of dollars,
his drivers license, and some per-
sonal papers. Willie wasn't Ger
tain whether he had lost it or
whether it had been stolen - all
he knew was that it was gone.
He applied for a dplicate social
security card and went on work.
ing, but he was worried. He had
heard. about such "goin ons" but
this was the first time any such
thing had happened to him.
HoouI year later II happened
again and when he came in to the
office to get another duplicate
card he mentioned it. We sent off
for his wage record and when it
came, there were the names of
several employers for whom
Willie had never visited. Who.
ever had stolen or found his wal
let had caused his name and So
clal security card in those places.
We Strengthened out the wage
record for him and he is happy.
Willie says, I'm not gonna lose
that card any more! I've got it
tattoed on my arm. See!" And he
pulled up his sleeve to show it.
We checked the number to make
sure 1t was correct-it was.
