IGNORANCE IS A COSTLY CROP

colored students, among other things
Viewed from any angle, ignorance is
the costliest crop that can be raised In
any part Of this Union.
ii in any community a mlsunderstand-
inc between the races arises over any
matter, infinitely the best way ont Is TO
have prompt. frank and full conference
and consultation between representatives
of the wise. decent. cool-headed men
among the whites and the wise, decent
and cool-headed colored men.
The race cannot expect to get every
thing at once. II must learn to wait
and bide its time, to prove itself worthy
bv showing it's possession OF persever-
ance of thrift, OF seli-control. The
destiny OF the races is chiefly in its own
hands.
The future of the South now depends
upon the people Of both races living up
TO the spirit and letter OF the laws OF
their several States and working out the
lestinies OF both races, not as races, but
as law-abiding American citizens.
