hams pupils. Mrs Bette G. Francis, In
an informal address, spoke highly of the
work of the school and of the attempt to
foster in this community business college
where colored young men and women may
be trained for the practical duties of life.
She was followed by Mr.. ]. c. Monaghan.
the principal speaker of the evening. who
discussed Commercial Opportunities" Mr..
Monaghan, who Is connected with the con-
sular bureau, urged the students to greater
effort in fitting themselves for business
pursuits. Rev. Sterling N. Brown, pastor
of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church,
of which the business college is an institu-

Mr.. William H. Davis. principal of the bust
evening Mr.. Davis is a practical stem
ographer, typewriter and bookkeeper, and
was formerly in charge of the commercial
department of the colored public schools
of welcome he spoke in part follows:
LAS has been aptly said, this is busy
age and ours a busy nation and while 1t
is proper that we should vigorously claim
and confidently expect every right and
privilege which Is guaranteed by the law
and the Constitution, we should be CORE
spondingly Jealous and active in proving
ourselves worthy of those rights and privf-
leges by contributing full share to the
economic and other phases of our countrys
advancement. We are no longer wards of
this nation. We are freemen, and we must
stand upon that footing or fail Our faith
ers and mothers have nobly done their part;
many deprived of education themselves,
have striven and sacrificed much to educate
their children, and now, as a result of
countless years of toll and numerous deaths
in battle, heritage Is ours, rich in oppor-
tunities, rich in possibilities, If we but make
the best use of the opportunities we have.
II say it without the least fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that too many of our
young men and women are failing to make
a proper use of their time and their talents.
Many are letting chance after chance pass
by unused; many contented with too
little. Many feeding upon the husks
of the superficial and frivolous. Too many
are spending their days In an aimless life.
After the program was rendered large
and beautiful typewriting exhibit. in charge
Of Mrs. James F. Aston, teacher Of type
writing and English, was inspected by
many of those present.
