SALVATION OF THE NEGRO
is IN INDUSTRIAL LINES
Said President Wright of Industrial College in
Baccalaureate Address.

"As wards of the nation and charity
students, we cannot expect to receive
the consideration from the world which
we desire. We must remember that
no self-respecting race can continue to
be beggars.
Our youth must be taught more
and more to rely upon their own en-
ergies and resources to get an educa-
ton. The teachers, churches and min
listers that have not pith enough in
them to hold themselves up, should
not be carried along on the shoulders
of Others"
The above words were used by
President Wright of the Georgia
State Industrial College in the annual
oaccalaureate address to the gradual
ing class. President Wright spoke
from the subject, The Kind of Ed
ucation Needed" and made an earnest
plea for the negro to turn his atten-
ton TO the industrial life and leave
the professions to the whites. In part
he said:
Il think our chief hope is in bust
ness and agriculture. The best brain
OF the race must be taught to do the
business of the race. The education
that we must give should lead our
youth to get as much out of the soil
as any other people. There is no pref
udice in the soil. The sweat. muscle
and intelligence OF the negro will reap
mere as great reward as is given

The Value of Weeds.

Man has almost looked upon the weed
as a mortal enemy of the husbandman.
He would deem himself fortunate if he
could carry on his tillage with never a
weed to contend with, says the Farm
ers' Review. Yet the name weed"
is largely meaningless, for it is merely
a term applied to the plants for which
we have at the present time no par
ticular use. Yet il may be assumed
that each weed has in its some value
TO the human lace that is yet to be
discovered. Many of the weeds that
now encroach on our cultivated domain
will some day be so changed by the
hand of man that they would not be
recognized by us to-day. In some it
will be the blossom that will be en-
larged and developed, just as we have
now developed the flower of the cab
hage TO the caulitiower. In others the
root will be the part that will be de-
veloped, as we have from their wild
and insignificant forms developed
beets, carrots and turnips.
Thus, as to the future of weeds, and
we can safely predict what the out
come will be from our knowledge of
the history of the past. For we all
realize the fact that many of the
choicest things that come to our ia
bles. whether in the form of food or
for ornament We're within the history
of man, but weeds that were
thought below his notice. Asparag gus
was a riparian plant growing in the
sandy margins of the rivers or by the
seashore. Celery was a strong weed
with nothing to recommend il till some
man found how TO make it grow ten

urally it is of little or no use to man.
The beach pea that rambled along the
sands and rocks of the Mediterranean
shores became. under cultivation, the
beautiful sweet pea of our flower gar
dens and CT which we now have a
thousand forms. How unlike some of
these are the forms out Of which they
were developed?
few years ago the country was
stirred by the advent of the Russian
thistle, which threatened TO put mil
lions of acres of land out Of cultiva-
ton in the Northwest. A panic seizeu
some Of our most conservative aSrt-
culturists and the legislatures. both
state and national, were Appealed to
for immense sums of money to De
spent in checking the dreadful invader.
But the legislatures refused to appro-
pirate any considerable sums of money
and told the farmers they would have
to fight this new weed pes in the best
way they could
But before long it was found that
this weed, growing best on alkali lands,
was greatly relished in a young state
by the farm stock, and that it made
good pasturage. We now never hear
anything about the Russian thistle
except that here and there it is being
made up into hay.
But apart from this occasional serv-
ice TO man there are other benefits that
come from weeds. They are the first
to take possession of waste places and
plough up the ground with their roots
to make way for the coming of grass.
The dry soil, under the fierce blare of
the summer sun, loses much of the
humus it has in the exposed surface
layers. This loss is now known to be
very great. or would be great, did not
the weeds take possession and cover
the ground with their enveloping tops.
Under this shade the ground keeps
moist and the humus is conserved.
The work of the bacteria goes on in
this protected soil, and it was long ago
demonstrated that nitrates were form
ed under the shade of these very plants
that the farmer considers his foes.
The writer once heard Prof Bailey
say that he had just bought a 200-acre
farm that was covered with weeds.
The previous owner sold him the farm
al a low price because it was so very
weedy. The professor laughed as he
remarked that ne preferred the weeds
to nothing, as it was merely question
Of blowing them under when he got
ready to use the land. Meanwhile they
were improving the land for him
Weeds do not impoverish the land, as
they fall down and decay on the very
soil where they have been growing
1t is safe to say that the soil that will
bear good crop of weeds will bear a
godo crop of some other plant
The thrifty farmer will have little
trouble with weeds, except when he
sows them In the crops of grain that
he is raising The areas that are Gull
tivated by hand hoeing or by the plow
can be kept free easy enough The
weed is a friend that the farmer
would find it hard to get along with
out.

GRATEFUL BECAUSE. WE

London, May 30.-The correspondent
Of the Standard at Toxic telegraphs
that a memorable gathering of educa-
tionalists and students, representing
the Imperial University and other in
stitutions of learning, on Saturday en-
Enthusiastically passed a resolution re-
cording their gratitude to the govern
ment of the United States for having
opened Japan to a new life and a new
civilization by the Perry treaty. They
expressed gratitude to the American
people for a constant friendship and
sympathy during the past half CEN
fury and especially during the current
war The resolution repeated the as
surance that Japan is not fighting for
aggrandizement. but to secure to the
empire peace and civilization.

The inevitable penalty of sin was
pointed out, an illustration being
drawn from the laws of nature Not
only is the harvest of the same kind,
but it is cumulative, just as the farmer
expects to reap many fold what he
sows.
The devil goes in the best society,""
said DR.. Jordan, in speaking of the
danger of being deceived by evil He
is not only not so black as he is paint
ed but he is Immediately white. The
usual caricatures of him does him a
great injustice
AS an example of how the devil de-
ceives people, Dr. Jordan instanced
the matter of keeping the Sabbath. "I
do not stand in this pulpit and saw
because l am a preacher and because
| believe in people keeping the Lords
Day reverently and lovingly that I am
in favor of closing saloons on the Sab
bath Day. But as a citizen of no
mean city l do so that the law ought
to compel every man, woman and child
10 regard the law of the Saba tn. NOT
from religious standpoint, but from
a legal standpoint.
Resorts are all right when they are
properly used, but they are all wrong
when they are overwhelmingly abused.
No one can afford from the standpoint
of the city's interests to be a desc
orator of the Sabbath. If we would
cease to observe the day of rest and
become violators of the law of the land.

time, but whoever goes there on Sun
day does so in the face of the infexi-
BILE law, Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he reap When I so far
forget God as to do these things, then
l must expect to reap. Not only I.
but boys and girls. men and women,
more ignorant than myself, shall be
guided and encouraged by my course

In closing, DR.. Jordan, drew the
bright side of the picture, saying that
the way to escape is to turn away
from evil.
