CAMPAIGN PERIOD CLOSES WEDNESDAY; MRS. ARMSTRONG TAKES LEAD The first period of The Leader's annual subscription campaign comes to a close Wednesday evening, May 20, at eight o'clock.: While the 1931 effort falls short of that of 1930 and of previous years this far, the friendly battle by a few of the participants for the Greater Hudson Eight, the New Essex Super Six and the three cash prizes is close and interesting. Mrs. Effie Oglesby of Mocking Bird Valley, jumped into the lead the first week and held it for four consecutive weeks, but she loses the lead to Mrs. Nannie Mai Armstrong, of Eminence, this week. Mrs. Armstrong has always been a close second. The subscriptions will decrease in value after the close of the first period Wednesday night. Knowing this the respective participants are expected to do their best from now until Wednesday, and there is no telling who will be in the lead next week after the votes are counted at the period closing. Miss Lucile Pleasant, Lawrenceburg, is in third place, just a few votes away from the lead. Mrs. Hattie Bowman Hansford, Bardstown, is a close up fourth, and Miss Sarah Rates, Louisville, who like Miss Pleasant, failed to report this week, is not far away in fifth place. Miss Lottye McIntyre, Georgetown, made her second report this week and is in sixth place. Three Leader automobiles have been won by Georgetown candidates, and contestants (Continued on page 8)

"Business Education A Failure"
GRADUATE WANTS BIG PAY FOR DOING NOTHING, SAYS WOODSON Thinks He Should First Pay For Opportunity Of Learning How To Do By Carter Woodson "The other day a young woman came almost directly to my office after her graduation from a business school to seek employment," says Dr. Carter G. Woodson. "After hearing her story I finally told her that I would give her a trial at fifteen dollars a week. "'Fifteen dollars a week!' she cried, 'I cannot live on that, sir.' "'I do not see why you cannot,' I replied. 'You have lived for some time already, and you say that you have never had permanent employment, and you have none at all now.' 'But a woman has to dress and to pay board' she said, 'and how can she do it on such a pittance?' "The amount offered was small, but it was a great deal more than she is worth at present. In fact, during the first six or nine months of her connection with some enterprise it will be of more service to her than she will be to the firm. Coming out of school without experience, she will be a drag on a business until she learns to discharge some definite function in it. Instead of requiring the firm to pay her she should pay it for training her. Thousands of graduates of white business schools spend years in establishments in undergoing apprenticeship without pay and rejoice to have the opportunity thus to learn how to do things. "The schools in which Negroes are now being trained, however, do not give our young people this point of view. They may learn the elements of stenography and accounting, but they do not learn how to apply what they have studied. The training which they undergo gives a false con- (Continued on page 8)
