Negro Supervisors In Great Meeting Piftrrn Southern States And For eign Countries. White headers fiaiher With Them On Monday October 19 and con tinued:. through October 28, a con ference of Negro Jeanes workers from all the southern states was held at Tuskegee Institute Ala bama There were present 319 sup ervisors from the 15 southern states, together with the state agents from these states in whose hands rests the direction of Negro education in the south. Tlie purpose of the conference was three-fold, namely to pay homage and respect to the retiring president of the Jeanes fund, James H IJillard, to welcome his successor, Arthur D. Wright, and to have these two great leaders speak to their agents in a group. Through general sessions and group conferences most helpful and inspiring encouragement was given t.he Jeanes workers whose task it is to get into the life of rural peo ple and help in building up more wholesome and intelligent attitudes towards conditions affecting happy and useful living. Representatives from some ol the leading universities and colleges of the north and south were present along also with representatives from Australia, New Mexico, West, East and South Africa and Canada. . A most significant and hopeful aspect of this conference was the presence of southern white women and soutliern white men. represent ing the highest ideals of life, con ferring with negro educational workers, not so much for the dis cussion of Negro problems, which no longer exist, but for the discus sion of human problems and rela tionships looking forward toward the Improvement of all southern life and activity as it affects all its people. 'rite Jeanes worker of Cleveland countyq, V. O. Thomas, as the super visor of Negro rural schools was happy to represent Cleveland county and to express to the southern workers the fine spirit of coopera tion on behalf of the superintend dent, boards and white and colored citizens of Cleveland county in making this county one of U\e ranking counties in N. C. in every thing that tends towards progres sive and useful living. What most rural communities need is a better social lige, but the trouble is that too many of the best people ate deserting their farms for the towns and cities, leav ing the rural community to fight it out as best it can.
