| Summary |
Excerpt: "The motivating factors which provided the stimulus for attempting to find a solution for this problem, Competent Employees for the Mechanical Department of the Negro Press, were several years experience in the field and eighteen personal interviews with publishers and employees of the present-day Negro Press. It is a problem involving a shortage of competent Negro printers and the lack of a good cooperative program between industry and the schools. No attempt is made to provide the perfect answer to this problem nor are any claims set forth as to having found a perfect cooperative program for industry and the schools. The work does, however, offer tentative improvements in securing and holding competent employees, an ideal program between employers and the schools and an ideal printing curriculum for the school program to meet the needs of the Negro Press. This study treats various phases of the history of the Negro Press: the Negro Press and its editors in the early days, some of their problems and how they were faced and solved, Negro publications after the Civil War down to the present day, together with some of their editors and their problems. The point stressed throughout the latter half of this study is cooperation; cooperation between the employers themselves, in stabilizing wages in non-union shops; the employers and the employees, concerning working conditions; and the employers and the schools, concerning the objectives of the printing department and when and where students can be placed. If the publishers and school administrators should see fit to cooperate in this problem, it is the writer's opinion that another turning point will have been reached in the history of the Negro Press." |
