Bureaus to promote health, business and _education were proposed as branches of the National Negro Busi- ness League, at its annual meeting in Atlanta, Ga., last week, by President Robert R. Moton, during his executive address, according to a report on the convention received here today. The convention covered Wednesday, Mayor Key of Atlanta welcomed the delegates Wednesday night, and deliv- ered an address in terms of approval of the efforts of colored persons of Georgia and the United States to win a place in the business world. President’s Moton's Address. Following the address of Mayor Key, President Moton of the league deliv- ered his annual address. He announced his recommendations as follows: “First, a_bureau of business promo- tion; second, a bureau of public educa- tion ‘and co-operation, and, third, a bu- reau on health. The bureau on business promotion will have as its purpose the organization of a corporation for the promotion of business enterprise among negroes, assisting local capital either in launching new enterprises or extending and developing existing gnterprises that have proven success- ul. “The bureau on public education and_co-operation is designed to ac- quaint our people with the business opportunities already existing which they might use for their own benefit and to direct them in the proper steps to be taken In using them. Health Prometion Bureau. “The third department would be the bureau of health. Such a bureau virtually exists already through the activities of the league in the promo- tion. of the National Negro Health | week. While much has already been done in this direction, a thorough or- ganization of this kind of work with continueus activity throughout the year would greatly extend its influ- ence and its helpfulness and const! tute one of the most practical measures for perpetuating this phase of league activity upon which Dr. Washington himself laid so much stress.” Washington Man Homored.
