add ess delivered by President Burn
stead of Atlanta University on Monday
evening at Beach Institute. His subject
was, "Higher Educa ion develops ent
of the Lower Education. Prof. R. R
Wight introduced the speaker. He
said the lower education generally con.
slsts of three Rs but ifhe could be al.
lowed to call Geography an R he said
would consist of four Rs viz; Reading.
Writing, Arithmetic and Geography.
We first learn to read In our mother
tongue in the lower education but in the
higher education we not only learn to
read our mother tongue but also other
tongues. He said the question is often
aske d docs Higher Education pay?'
He said it d 'es pay because it helps to
deyelop Observation-Disclosures, raises US
above animalism and develops cur higher
natures with better brains and souls as
picture of this truth he compared John
l.. Sullivan the great animal-man with
Gladstone of England. Higher educa-
ton gives us power over natuse as the
construction Of the Suez canal by the
wonderful intellect of Deleeseps, the
Brooklyn bridge and the tunnelline of
the Alps. 1tpays becauseit gives US power
over men as doctors, lawyers, etc., the
IL huence it gives them because of their
higher education. 1t also gives ia
money power. He said we as a race
need to get this higher education be-
cause of being still hampered somewhat
by the unfortunate past slavery our sud
den freedom and our poorness, weak
ness and oppression but now we are
strong and growing stronger and must
get it. 20 out of every. thousand are
getting it equal to the other race, but we
need to do more than that. The
