Empty Hsadsd svslls No Criterion For
Bulk OF Young Afro. Americans.
In the past few years many asser-
tions have been made that the young
Negro OF today is not AZ ambitious and
trust worthy as his forefathers. 1t is
said that he Is satisfied with little or
no education. Is prodigai to much
greater degree than his ancestors and
has no aim in life but to dress well
and spend money. All Of this is true
when applied to the ''city dude" who
Is to be found in every race. but 1t Is
not true when applied to the general
run OF young Negroes. The empty
headed 'swells" Of both races make
themselves conspicuous by their loud
shirts, razor edge trousers and gold
headed canes and sometimes add a
pair Of unneeded glasses for good
measure. But the young man Of sta.
bility. who is trying to improve him
self. Is not seen so often on the streets.
Those who seek him must go to his
home and not to the nearest saloon or
street corner.
Large cities are poor place IN which
to form ones Judgment Of the young
Negro Of today. The small towns and
country districts hold the great major
ity Of the most stable men Of the race.
But even In large cities we have thou.
sands of good men who are seldom
seen because they have no time to loaf
on the corners. 1t Is just as absurd to
judge these men by the worthless and
more conspicuous element as 1t would
be to judge the white youth Of the
country by those Of their race who are
addicted to prodigal living.-Yonkers
