The success of the negroes depends
upon their ability to do work eff
GENTLY. In this respect they are in
exactly the same boat as the white
people Industry, thrift, intelligence
and efficiency are the essentials of
success among all people, regardless
of race, color or previous condition of
seryitude, and the quality of negro
citizenship depends entirely upon the
efficiency, integrity and industry of
the race. We owe to the negroes
sympathy. opportunity and encourage
menf, and the negroes owe to the
whites diligence, respect, fidelity and
never ceasing effort to make them
selves worthy of the confidence and
esteem. Nothing is so apt to
strengthen and improve the relations
of the races as industrial training,
which makes for efficiency independ-
ence, self-respect and patriotism

knives which lay on benches besides
them and dashed at the officers, no.
