The directors planned that a conference be held in Louisville on Saturday, April 21, to be attended by the presidents, of District Asso- ciations, Chairmen of Departments, Jeannes Supervisors, and mem- bers of the Legislative Committee. Present at she Directors Meeting were Mrs. Lucy Harth Smith, President; Messrs. A. F. Gibson, V. K. Perry, Whitney M. Young, and Mrs. Mayme R. Morris, Diiectors; W. H. Perry, Jr., Secretary-Treas- urer. Mr. J. A. Matthewis, President of the Upper Cumberland Valley District Association was also present. The March-April issue of the K. N. E. A. Journal will give fur- ther details of the program for the April Conference. The Directors urge that all members send their annual dues to the Secretary-Treasurer NOW. Editorial Comment | PROFESSOR W. H. FOUSE PASSES The passing last June of the retired veteran educator, Professor W. H. Fouse, took from our Association one of its most interested and active memrrbers. No annual convention during the long period of his membership was without his presence and his participation in its deliberations, to which he contributed always a consistent and constructive point of view. He worked faithfully on committees for progressive policies and timely legislation. Although once defeated for the presidency of the K. N. E. A., he was later elected, and guided the affairs of the or- ganization successfully. He was highly respected in the sectional and national educational organizations he attended frequently as the Tepresentative of the Association. In his declining years, unable to walk, he insisted on being brought to the annual conventions of the K. N. E. A., participating in its sessions, and giving the words of counsel made possible through his long experience. The record of Professor Fouse is one of continuous unselfish ser- vice in the several communities in which he lived. THE ASSISTANT STATE SUPERVISOR Two objectives of the legislative program of the K. N. E. A., championed by recently retired president, H. E. Goodloe, and the Board of Directors, and promised during the last gubernatorial cam- paign by Governor Simeon Willis and 'State Superintendent, John Fred Williams, have been achieved. One is the appropriation, by the State Legislature, of $84,000.00 for the biennium 1944-46, to pro- vide boarding high school service for colored children whose homes are in areas too remote for convenient transportation to a public school. The other is appointment of an Assistant Supervisor and Coordi- nator of Negro Education.. Acceptance of this position by Whitney M. Young has met with general popular approval. The cooperation of Lincoln Institute in relieving Mr. Young of his duties as Educa- tional Director there, and placing them in the capable hands of Mr. Joseph A. Carroll, formerly principal of the institution's high school department, has met the objection, voiced by some, that duties at Lincoln would prevent the new appointee from giving the time necessary for the planning and development of a supervisory pro- gram in the state. (By many, the appointment is regarded as "a natural" Through his travels in the state in the interest of Lincoln Institute, Mr. Young has come to know, and to be known, 'by superintendents, principals, 4 and leaders in many communities. Their acquaintance, respect and confidence, and his familiarity with the nature and problems of the conmunnities, provide an excellent background for future coopera- tion. Mr. Young's thesis, accepted recently by the faculty of the graduate school of Fisk University,' was based on an intimate knowledge and study of the needs of the children of Kentucky's rural sections, and recommended suitable practical programs for them. He is thus iii an excellent position to aid Lincoln Institute, which serves as the teach- er training, center for Kentucky 'State College, to prepare future teachers to meet specific community needs, and later to assist the teachers in adjusting in new positions. He is qualified, both by his training and successful teaching ex- perience in the field of engineering, to encourage the development of trade training opportunities for pupils of colored schools. This is an area in which, except by the discontinued National Youth Ad- ministration, -very little has been done. Mr. Young has entered upon his new work with his characteristic earnestness, optimism and thoroughness, and with a consciousness of his obligation to the citizens of the state for the successful ac- complishment of this pioneer task. The K. N. E. A. extends to. him every good wish for success in accomplishing the purpose which mo- tivated the organization in urging the creation of the supervisory position-increase and development of the educational opportunities offered Kentucky's children. Tributes To The Late Prof. W. H. Fouse THE LATE PROF. -W. H. FOUSE (By G. H. Brown, Principal, Douglas School, Louisville) Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky especially are better today because of the life and work in them for many years of the one who is the sub- ject of this brief sketch. In Westerville, Ohio, where he was born, reared and educated in the elementary schools as well as in Ottenbein University of that city, William Henry Fouse received the early training that was necessary for his physical, mental and moral 'de- velopment. These phases of his early life, first acquired in his home town, began to show results of his learning and teaching in the little town of Corydon, Indiana, one of the oldest county seats and first capital of the State of Indiana. As principal there of the first high school, leader of a band and orchestra for colored pupils, also the only member of color in the city concert band, and as instructor of a special art class for city teachers and others, Professor Fouse made a very distinct contribu- tion to that ccmmunity. In the State of Kentucky, particularly in Lexington and the Blue Grass section, where his labors for youth and adults were of the longest duration, the influence of his services long will be 'felt. He contributed five hundred dollars toward the 5 The Late Prof. W. H. Fouse purchase of an athletic field, now fittingly named Fouse Field, and which adjoins Dunbar High School, Lexington, where he labored as principal and supervisor of schools for more than a quarter of a century. As a pioneer and leader in penny savings by school children and their relatives, this great educator won the gratitude of parents and teachers, as well as school officials. 'In addition to teaching thrift, economy and preparation for usefulness to the pupils of the school, this good man stressed the need of amiable relationship between the youths of both races, as well as 'among the adults, in all communi- ties. By direct instruction and follow-up processes along this line, several clashes between white and colored pupils in more than one city were averted. On this account, finer relationships between white and colored persons, young and old, were the results in all commu- nities in which Mr. Fouse lived and worked. Well may it be said by all who ever knew him that places in which he dwelt were much better because of his having lived in them. PROF. FOUSE AN ACTIVE EDUCATOR (By Louis C. Brown, Madison Street Junior High School, Louisville) A pioneer in education was removed from our ranks when. Prof. W. H. Fouse, retired principal of Dunbar High School, and former president of the Kentucky Negro Education Association, passed a few months ago. A grand person was he, who spent his entire life working quietly and hopefully for the development of youth. At an age when most people are content to rest, Prof. Fouse creditably qualified for and received -his Master's Degree at the University of 6 Cincinnati. HIis motto, "If I rest, I rust," was ever kept before him. Wherever state and national associations of educators met, he was there. At the last session of our K. N. E. A. he attended several con- ferences, including the Principals' Banquet. His familiar smile ex- pressed much joy and pleasure at being associated again with peo- ple having a common interest. 1One cannot think of Prof. Fouse without the association of his fine wife, who until the end, was his constant companion. A few personal expressions which characterize our friend follow: lHis name, like ours, may be forgotten, but to live in the lives of others is immortality."-L. N. Taylor. "We then shall think of his living and working in the higher realms for the total emancipation of man."--Reverend Sidney R. Smith. 'iMr. Fouse leaves a beautiful record of service."-,Dr. M. Fitzbutler Waring. "You were faithful in life to each other."-Mrs. Mary V. Parrish. "Otterbein has lost a great friend and one of whom the institution has been justly proud."-J. Ruskin",lowe, President, Ottelibein Col- lege. "He was a glorious man and I know his influence for good will long be felt."-L. A. Pechstein, Dean, University of Cincinnati. "Appreciation was expressed for the vigorous, constructive efforts 'Professor Fouse,' as he was affectionately referred to, made in be- half of the youth of this community."-Dr. W. T. Rowland, Superin- tendent, and Board of Education. "It can be said of him without exaggeration, that no educator of our day and place served his race more loyally or contributed more readily to the good relations that mark the association of the races in Lexington." Editorial, Lexington Leader (Fred B. Wachs). "The K. N. E. A. feels that the passing of Prof. Fouse has removed from its membership one whose workl was a definite contribution to the advancement of the organization."-dMrs. Lucy Harth Smith, Pres- ident; W. H. Perry, Jr., Secretary. PLANNING FO'R PEACE By Lucy Harth Smith. President, K. N. E. A. Although plans are being conducted for warfare, and we have a part in the planning, it is necessary that we as educators plan for peace. Foremost among the plans we find the new Go-to-School Drive. Schools, communities and organizations have joined forces to make sure that youth receive educational preparation for the fu- ture. Because of increase in employment 'of young people during the war period, and the fact that one million fewer boys and girls were enrolled in 1943 than 1940, it is imperative that we encourage young people to resume their education during this period. We should help our boys and girls to realize that there will be few jobs in peace time for the boy or girl who does not finish high school. 7 Juvenile Delinquency also should claim our' attention, for it is on the increase. One of the chief antecedents of juvenile delinquency is truancy from school. Is it not necessary that we, as teachers nitce all of our efforts to meet the needs of the child? We should improve our school atmosphere, in order to bring happiness to our students during the process of training. Sohool surroundings in all areas should be kept clean and beautiful. Appreciations of the higher values of life cannot be properly developed in ugly surroundings. Soap and water, a little paint, a few pounds of grass and flower seeds, can transform our schools into a pleasing appearance. The health of the child should receive primary consideration. Phy- sical defects that inhibit learning should be corrected. Our Parent- Teacher Associations could be of valuable assistance, in formulating plans to secure the funds needed to correct the physical defects of children who are unable to secure it otherwise. Efficiency should be our watchword, for pupils and teachers alike. It is said that our pupils lack the feeling of responsibility for their jobs. They tend to be care- less in the performance of duty, and are idle, talkative, and imperti- nent. They lack social dignity. Our pupils need respect for themselves, as well as for others. We believe that literature telling of the achievements of Negroes should consistently confront the child in the classroom. A wealth of inforxna- tion can be secured from newspapers, magazines, books and pictures. Courses of study to include Negro History should be in our curricu- lum. Teachers themselves should popularize the idea. This informa- tion would tend to inspire the student and develop the needed self respect. As your president, it is my desire that the K. N. E. A. use its full force to assist every teacher in the State, in our great program. Our work is of fundamental importance in our democracy, for students are acquiring habits, training and attitudes of importance in deter- mining their qualifications as future citizens. YOUNG BECOMES ASSISTANT STATE SUPERVISOR Whitney M. Young, well known and highly respected educator, is now actively engaged as the Assistant State Supervisor and Coordi- nator of Negro Education, and has visited several areas of the state in order to study at close range the problems which will claim the at- tention of his new office. !ir. Young is a native Kentuckian, having been born in Midway, Kentucky, and having received his early education at the historic American Missionary Association's Chandler Normal School, of Lexington. His high school work was done at Lincoln Institute, the A. B. degree was awarded him by Louisville Municipal College, and the M. A. by Fisk University. He has taken special courses in en- gineering at Hampton Institute, Cass Technological School of Detroit, and Tuskegee Institute. He has been actively engaged in educational work for nearly a quarter of a century, having served at Lincoln 6 Whitney ML Young Institute as a teacher of engineering from 1,920-1930; as teacher of engineering and Dean from 1930-41935; as Educational Director from 1935-1944. He has served continuously as a memrnber of the Board of Directors of K. N. E. A. since 1936, and several terms as chairman of the Vocational Department of the Association, president of the Blue Grass Principals' Conference, and President of the Blue Grass Teach- ers' Association. Mr. Young and his family retain their residence on the campus of Lincoln Institute at Lincoln Ridge, where his wife, Mrs. Laura Ray Young, is postmistress. They are justly proud of their three children, Mrs. Arnita Louise Farrow, Chicago, Ill., graduate of Kentucky State College, and wife of Lieut. William iR. Farrow, Jr., former Kentucky State basketball luminary, now in Italy; Miss Eleanor Annice Young, Kentucky State College graduate, and now a graduate student in Library Science, at Atlanta University; Sgt. Whitney M. Young, Jr., also a graduate of Kentucky IState College, now stationed in England. THE NEW STATE HIGH SCHOOL: LINCOLN INSTITUTE by Whitney Young Lincoln Institute is centrally located, 22 miles east of Louisville, Rlentucky; and 26 miles west of Frankfort, Kentucky on Highway 60. The school has an excellent physical plant, consisting of 18 buildings Of various types, 444.4 acres of productive farm land, which provides 9 ample space for expansion and the teaching of scientific agriculture. The location of the school makes it convenient to give students prac- tical training in making repairs of all types; plumbing, electrical and wood work. This affords excellent training for trade students. A school garden serves as a practical demonstration of what can be don~e to provide one's food and the possibilities of truck gardening as a means of earning a livelihood. All of the student trade courses are subsidized 'by Federal aid. The student body is small enough to per- mit experimentation on various secondary levels. Because of this fact the State College for Tegroes at Frankfort, Kentucky, selected the school for the training of potential teachers in Home Economics, Science, English, Social Science, Mathematics, Physical Education, and Commerce. The student body is a cross section of the state in that it is made up more than half of the counties -and independent districts of the state. Three large buses transport day students from adjoining counties. The Home Economics Department and the Agriculture department heads have developed extension projects to assist in the "Conserva- tion Program" and to give the Negro home owner a sense of apprecia- tion of the value of property and the freedom which comes with the possession of a deed. The school has been rated "A" by the Southern Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools and by the State Department of Educa- tion. Through a special contract, County aid may be collected for Board- ing Students from counties that do not have a high school. Religious training is non-denominational but for the sake of moral development in honesty, reliability, unselfishness, service to others and purposeful living, each student is encouraged to attend regular church services and to affiliate himself with some ethical organization. The educational phase of the school program is under the control of tVe State Department of Education which functions through Ken- tucky State College. The finances of the School are under control of a committee of business experts and a business manager. A trust en- dowment of more than $250,000 has been carefully invested and only the interest may be used for the current expenses of the' Boarding De.partment and the physical plant. Teachers, students and parents cooperate in building worthwhile projects so as to make the work of the class room practical and to meet the need of existing opportunities. Under the new state plan Mr. Whitney M. Young who has 'been Di- Tector of Education, will relinquish part of his responsibilities to be- come Assistant State Supervisor and Co-ordinator of Negro Educa- tion. Mr. Joseph A. Carroll who has been associated with the school for several years as Head of the Agriculture 'Departm'ent has been se- eleoted to take over the position of Dean of Education. Mr. Carroll is a graduate of Kentucky State College and has done graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. 110 The school will serve the rural population first, those communities where no high school services are available. According to Bulletin No. 3, Vol. XI, May, 1943, "Negro Education in Kentucky" there are now seventy sub-marginal counties with approximately 10010 students needing such services. The need for a State High SchosoL is evident, in that all available dormitory space has been taken and more than seventy students are on the waiting list. The future of Lincoln Institute is bright. Those of our friends who have stood by us when the going was tough and the resources limited deserve the gratitude of all the Negro people of the state, who for more than twenty years have fought, preached and prayed for a square deal for the Rural Negro Child. KENTUCKY STATE COLLEGE FACES 1945 A large number of Freshman girls who applied for entrance, and of advanced girls who returned to Kentucky State College caused an in- crease over the number that enrolled last year. Also, there was little change in the number of boys; a few veterans of World War II enroll- ed under the program sponsored by the government in their behalf. This number, of course, will increase as the war progresses to its end. iHume, Hathaway, Jackson and Atwood Halls were renovated in- side during the summer months; the Library and President's Offices have moved back to Hume Hall. The Farm House is under complete reconstruction at a cost of $1l9,51010. There are a number of new faces on the faculty this year. Tenure at the college has been very steady since 1.929, but the war and cer- tain other factors have brought changes. Most of them this year have been caused by salaries at other in- stitutions that were more attractive than Kentucky State College could pay. This was true in spite of the fact that salaries were sub- stantially increased at Kentucky State College. In several southern states the legislatures have definitely decided to make the Negro State College the "equivalent" of the White State University, and for this purpose have given their Negro State Colleges sums of money larger than usual and allowed them to pay attractive salaries hitherto impossible. Kentucky State College was able to meet ordinary competition, but it was not prepared to meet this ex- traordinary situation. 'It will be recalled that the question of equality of higher education was up for consideration in the last session of our legislature, on the merits of the Anderson and Dorman Bills. The Anderson bill passed the House, but died in the Senate. Analyzing the final net results fol- lowing the session of the legislature we are bound to say that higher education for Negroes got nothing-that is, nothing more than usual, omitting the small increase for the regular operation of the four-year college. Negroes were not admitted to the University, nothing was done to make Kentucky State College the "equivalent" of the Univer- sity, nothing was done to liberalize aid for out-of-state study, which 11 everybody knows is lower than most Southern States. Thus in com- petition with other states that are getting, spending and expanding, Kentucky State College could not compete on an equal basis. In such competition Kentucky State College will continue to lose its teachers as they become good. By 'the 1946 sessionjet us hope that we will be more together on what we want and let us be properly organized to get it. 'In spite of these difficulties mentioned above and in spite of a gen- eral shortage of well-trained competent teachers, Kentucky State College has a well-trained and adequate staff. A fine set of persons was secured, all of whom are maintaining the high standards of scholarly achievements attained in the past. We are pleased to use the columns of the K. N. E. A.

S. ,Six hundred people who came to the West Kentucky Vocational Training School. to witness its last Commencement Exercises which, in their expectation, would consist of the usual address and the awarding of diplomas, were thrillingly surprised when the curtain rose to see a group of shop equipment that had been assembled from the various trade rooms of the school and a number of students in their trade uniforms ready to put these machines in operation. The demonstration got off to a dazzling start when the current was turned on and sparks began to fly in all directions from a welding machine with which a young operator was cutting a piece of metal. Then followed the back firing and puffing of a run-down automobile which the student mechanic proceeded to get into better order. In succession came the whirr of a planer knocking off the rough surface of a piece of lumber, and the chirping of a hundred week-old chickens that were being fed by a student attendant. Of the less noisy type were the operators of a power machine with which a student tailor was repairing an article of clothing. Not to be outdone by the male student trainees, the young women then began to demonstrate various operations with modern appliances from their departments. A girl from the sewing department showed skillful use of an electric sewing machine by stitching a garment that she was making; a student in cooking applied the current to an electric mixer and produced a tempting product of her art. Then, to show the latest methods in the cosmetological arts a beauty cul- ture operator served a customer whose curls needed some retouching. With no more than fifteen minutes having been spent in their dra- matic performances the demonstrators gave way to the curtain which marked the division between this pre-commencement scene and the delivery of an address on Vocational Education by Roscoe Conkling Sinmons whose personal anecdotes about Booker Washington, and whose philosophical conclusions on vocational education furnished a fitting climax for the occasion. Thirty-five certificates were award- ed to graduates representing the states of Kentucky, -Tennessee, and Alabama. As an after-comment, it is pleasing to report that each of these young persons is now gainfully employed or pursuing further educa- tional training. WEST KENTUCKY STATE VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL PROGRESSES Progress reporits from West Kentucky State Vocational Training School, now in its seventh year of operation, reflect the increasing in- fluence of the school. This year its enrollment has reached the all time high of 209 students, from 27 counties, Paducah, and from Illinois, Alabama and Tennessee. This is a marked increase over the 26 stu- dents on the enrollment list when the present administration came into office. 13 The meager industrial equipment and curriculum inherited from the West Kentucky Industrial College have been expanded, under the supervision and with the-cooperation of the State Division of Vo- cational Education, with the result that ten practical courses are now offered. Day and evening instruction are varied to meet the needs of the groups enrolled. A standard high school curriculum is offered for the convenience of trade students below high school graduation. The plant has been expanded recently by the purchase of two ad- joining parcels of land, and the addition of a welding room to the mechanics shop building. A $60,00.00 repair and beautification pro- gram is under way at the present time. * Perhaps the most significant advance has been in the education of the potential constituents of the school to the meaning, the need, and the importance of vocational education. The administrative staff of the school seeks the personal interest of teachers and friends, and ex- tends an invitation to visit the campus, classrooms and shops. GOVERNOR APPOINTS )COMMISSIONS Commissions appointed by Governor iSimeon Willis to consider matters vital to the welfare of the state, include persons well known in professional and religious circles.

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY H. McCLAR'IN, Manager YOUNG bl"I YOUNG W0bL4,N1 NEW SPECIALIST IN HEALTH EDUCATION Lester A. Kirkendall has been temporarily assigned within the Federal Security Agency, from the 1U. S. Public Health Service, to serve as senior specialist in health education in the Division of Physi- cal Education and Health Activities in the U. S. Office of Education. He swill serve schools and colleges in the broad area variously desig- nated as social hygiene, "human relations," etc. The need of this service is attested by the many requests for aid received from state and local school officers, by resolution of the National Conference for Cooperation in :School Health Education, which includes most of the public and private health agencies that have for many genera- tions served our schools, and by the conviction of the Surgeon Gen- eral of the U. (S. Public Health Service that appropriate school pro- grams are needed to develop a sound basic approach in this area of human life that has such far reaching implications for America's health. By both training and experience Dr. Kirkendall is admirably suited to give this leadership. His M. A. and Ph. D. degrees were granted by Columbia University for graduate work in the fields of secondary education, psychology and mental hygiene, and foundations of edu- cation. 'He has served elementary and secondary principalships in 'Kansas; associate professorships of education at Teachers College of Connecticut and at the 'University of Oklahoma. He was called by the Office of Education from a wartime appointment in the Venereal Disease Education Institute of Raleigh, N. C., where he served as educational consultant. His writings that have appeared in more than a score of different journals show interest in ruraxl education, counseling, student self-government, student morale, testing, pupil attitudes, problems of learning, charcte-r education, and general edu- cational philosophy, as well as in the subject of social hygiene and family aife. His record includes participation and leadership in num- erous voluntary community enterprises. Dr. Kirkendall's services are available to school systems, to teath- er-training institutions, to workshops, and to other agencies and or- ganizations devoted to the education of American youth. 23 K.
