YMCA Plans Fourth j
Anniversary
Observance
The Hayes-Taylor Memorial YM I
CA Is now making.plans to celebrate
Its fourth anniversary from
January 9 to January 16. A full
program Is being planned for the
entire week and the general public
is Invited to attend each event.
Two outstanding speakers have
been secured for Sundays anuary
9 and 10th and there will be spe- j
clnl music for each of these days. '
The Hayes-Taylor Memorial Y
MCA opened its doors on Sunday
afternoon, December 31, 1939. and
eyer since that time the building
has certainly served its purpose?
serving hundreds of citizens
throughout the city and nation. Its
program has been far reaching in
scope. Hundreds of men in service
have found the YMCA a "homeaway
from home" and they have j
enjuyeu uieir uunuiiory accoiiiimi
datlons. The membership has
grown from 350 to more than one
thousand men and boys. The boys'
department program lias steadily 1
increased until it was found neces:
Miry to employ a fillVtime trained
secretary. The program for men
and young men lias increased its
effectiveness and many substantial
citizens and homes have been 1
established through the far-reach- c
Ing, character-building program of
, the YMCA.
'* 71
The co-ed program for the teen'
age youth is rapidly making vast
strides and its program on vocn- t
a tlonal guidance and religious train- t
- ing has been fruitful. The Woman's
Auxiliary has steadily ini
creased in membership and they '
{ have done much at the T to create
that feeling of home. . The- ,
'Y' has served thousands of mem- bers
of civic groups by providing (
' club room facilities to them. The
' well-equipped kitchen lias made '
R possible the serving of many bani
quets and socials,
y The membership campaign held
i- last spring was the greatest in the
history of Hayes-Taylor 'Y* and
the largest amount of cash ever
secured in any colored 'Y' in the
state. With a goal of $2500.00 and

i- CA will celebrate Its fifth year of
y service In Greensboro?hence 1944
v. will be a great year for this great
)f character-building movement.
Because of the present overcrowded
condition at th^ building
"8 there is need .for a boys departP
ment, additional dormitory rooms,
>e and a physical plant. The latter
would help greatly In the full des
velopmeot of our boys?physlcnl>r
ly, mentally and splrltualy, and
thus help materially In combatting
the rising trends toward de^
llnqency.

The Future Outlook! |
PRICE: 5c
alleges And
tols Hold Session
A program for higher education
for Negroes that would more
nearly meet their needs than adhere
to the Supreme court ruling
on separate but equal educational
facilities was advocated by Dr.
George A. Works, dean emeritus
of the University of Chicago,
speaking before 150 members of
tlie Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools for Negroes in
their tenth annual session at Bennett
College Thursday, December
0.
Such a program Dr. Works suggested
should provide for higher
education in each state through
(1) development of a strong liberal
education at the undergrade
ate level; (2) undergraduate In
struction In agriculture and home
economics; (3) professional educa
tion for teachers to meet certifies
IIUII mjuimiifiiia, uuu uuuv*
graduates and graduate instm? tion
In areas where there is op
portunity for Negroes and when
the numbers seeking it are larg'
enough to make possible a higl
quality with a reasonable pi"
capita for current expenses.
Dr. Works advocated also scliol
arships and institutional agree
nients wheer the number involve*
does not justify giving the worl
in a state institution and scholar
ships although the state inay ?
may not offer Instruction in tic
fields.

pllcable to whites and should b
utilized more fully in the futuri

Colleges and Secondary Schools

sity of North Carolina assert*
that, "Theh south is in the dilenin
between the things we know v

He advocated that schools ar
colleges make available staffs ar
materials. Dermlt flexibility
courses and credits, furnish gui
ance to in-service teachers, ai
conduct special studies and expo
ments significant to currlculn
programs.
Dr. Dabney S- Lancester, stn
superintendent, of instruction, stn
of Virginia, foresaw the day wh
schools must operate on a
months' basis, and have faclllt!
