On the matter of the Afri- ■ canization of school curricu- j lums, a report of the meeting | states: “The attainment of in- j dependence in Africa now makes it necessary to re-ex amine a type of education , which in many African coun- i tries was formerly designed to ‘assimilate’ young Africans to the culture of the metropolitan countries. “Curriculum reform is thus a corollary of political emanci pation, cultural emancipation being the means by which the African personality can be as serted. This calls for the redis covery of the African cultural heritage and the transmission of that culture to African adolescents in secondary school*”. i This is particularly the case. I the meeting decided, so far as ! ! the teaching of history, geog- | raphy, and African as well as | non-African languages is con- j cerned. A special emphasis on j a wider- and better-adapted . teaching of natural sciences, J social sciences, and civics was j also recommended. Co-operation among Afri- ' cans and the essential rein- , forcemcnt of African unity, the i meeting stressed, can be j achieved only if there is mutual ' understanding and knowledge j among the countries of Africa, i However, at present, each of , these countries knows more of j the former colonial oower* j i than it does of its African ! ! neighbors. The experts noted with con siderable interest the examina- ! tion system adopted in one of the countries at the meeting. Here, after the examinations were over, a country-wide sample study of examination papers was taken and entrance level was fixed on the basis of this study. Secondary-school candidates were thus judged in terms of the teaching they had been given and the extent to which the majority had profited by it, rather than by i some abstract and arbitrary ! examination standard. !

TO THE I OLD J WOOD 1 STOVE By Disappearing, They Helped Create A $500 Million Market In Mississippi Wood stoves have almost disappeared in Mississippi . . . along with the once familiar stacks of stove wood. ..They began to disappear when, electricity became available in Mississippi through the formation of EHectric Power As sociations. Modern, efficient electric ranges have appeared in the place of the old woood stove. The kitchen and the entire household have a new look; they're lighter, brighter, and take less time to clean and keep. Lights, running water, indoor plumbing, washers, dryers, hot water heaters and many other modern time, labor and money saving appliances have appeared in the home. But the homeowner is not the only one who has gained aa a result of the disappearance of the old wood stove. The merchant and the manufacturer have profited, too. Statistics show that for every dollar spent on Electric Pow er Associations, four dollars is spent on electric appliances, equipment and fixtures. The member-owners of Electric Pow er Associations have spent more than $500,000,000.00 for these items in Mississippi. Another $8 to $10 million will be spent for them this year. That is a half-million dollar market which would not have existed without these Electric Power Associations. That boost to the economy has affected the income of every man, woman anfc child in Mississippi, That’s what happened to the “old wood stove.” CAPITAL ELECTRIC POWER ASSOCIATION .. - 1 GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY The Best Hahit That Yoi Can Form Is The Hahit Of Going To Church Every Sunday.
