April 1--West Kentucky Industrial College is going into the last months of the school year with quite a record of progress for the biennium nearing a close. Educators in close touch with the situation are praising President Anderson, whom they have seen fit to elevate to the presidency of the K. N. E. A., for the educational statesmanship he has shown in securing appropriations for the expansion of the school plant and in raising the standards of the institution. The addition of a new administration and recitation building set the stage for the progress which has been so evident during the present school year. The curriculm has been thoroughly revised. The work now offered is that of a junior liberal arts college with opportunity for meeting certification requirements. This enables the student intending to complete college to avoid lost motion necessarily incident to the pursuance of a strictly normal curriculum during the first two years of his college career. The adoption of a point system of scholastic rating with a point qualification for graduation has raised scholastic standards and stimulated the student body to work for higher marks. By making representation of the college in athletics and other extra-curricular activities [dependent?] upon a certain scholastic standard another strong urge toward high [scholarship?] has been added. The effectiveness of the point system was demonstrated by the voluntary withdrawal of twenty three [students?] from the college during the first semester. With few exceptions the students withdrawing had failed to meet the minimum standards that have been set up. An honor roll has also been estab- (Continued on page 8) OUR ERROR.

Numerous Negro Murders Alarm Citizens of Louisville FOUR KILLED SEEN BY HUNDREDS AT RIDLEY FUNERAL PARLORS. Officers Of The Law And All Citizens Urged To Cooperate In Effort To Stop Negroes From Shooting And Cutting Each Other. Nothing not even the general economic depression has created more comment and caused so much alarm as the numerous murders that have occurred in Louisville during the past few days. It looks as if Louisville is trying to take the title of "the champion murder city" from Memphis, Tenn., but in Memphis Negroes are not doing all are killing. In Louisville practically every murder report is about one Negro killing another and in recent instances two at a time. More than thirty Negroes have killed thirty Negroes said the last official report given out by Major Ray Yarberry, chief of the Detectives of the Louisville Police Department last year and it looks as if the record for all time will be broken by the time the next official report is made. Negroes are killing each other for the least provocation. Whether they are crazed with "bootleg liquor," or having jealous fits with their brains cleared enough to think that the law will not do much about it, is being debated. The slackness of the law, the wide open gambling dives and vice dens and the freedom with which bootleg liquor is reported to be flourished about have come in for no small amount of talk. Four of the persons murdered during the last few days were in charge of undertaker A. B. Ridley at the same time, and during the first of the week hundreds of citizens visited the Ridley parlors on Walnut Street to view the remains. Those in charge of Mr. Ridley were: Charles Miller 34, 651 South Tenth St., who was shot Wednesday, March 23, by Jerome Basket; Dovie Roberts, who was stabbed to death last week, George Davis and his wife, Katherine, of 7509 S. 19th St. who were killed by Wesley Sloss, brother of Mrs. Davis. Sloss was a whiskey runner and killed his sister and her husband when they opposed his use of their automobile. The local police authorities and all citizens interested in law and order and in the progress of the community are urged to cooperate in the effort to stop Negroes from shooting and cutting each other.
