While opportunities do not come
often to persons of our race, yet in
the ordinary interests of life good
equipment counts, and for the graver
responsibilities it is essential. The
outlook may be hopeless, but our good
sense tells US that preparation alone
will enable us to make headway
against prescription. Therefore, we
beg of our parents to make the educa-
tion of their children matter of more
concern. Whatever the expense, what
ever the reluctance of the child, still
the need of education is so great that
it must be carried to completion. A
great majority of all people are fail
ures as money-makers. Hardly ma
jority succeed even in living well.
Negroes cannot hope to do so well as
whites and it is less marvel that they,
too, fail Yet it is generally true that
preparation for right living is one Of
the great aids to those who do sue
coed and we can not afford to let de-
spair hold us back from doing our
preparatory work

milton of his efforts to make a mark

the future. The competition will be

chance to win out. 1t goes without
saying that we wish him well.

Some people who receive money in
the form of checks are foolish enough
to endorse them before they reach
the place where they expect to have
the checks cashed This is danger
GUS practice, for if the check is lost
or stolen it is at once negotiable, and
no redress is open to the loser It
is no more trouble to wait till yo"
reach the bank and it is a thousand
times safer.

In some manner unaccountable
there was omitted from the article
appearing last week concerning the
National Baptist meeting, the fact
that Rev. Over, the pastor of Zion
church, was elected to membership on
the Educational and Mission Boards.
This honor comes to him both from
his personal worth and at the same
time is just recognition to the work
of the denomination out here on the
frontiers.

full operation at the Sisters hospital
last week Before entering the nos

entire stock of millinery and hair
goods and closed her store, which
was in a prosperous condition until
she was taken sick. We regret that
some experienced colored woman was
not here to take charge of the store,
as Mrs. Slaughter's millinery estab-
lishment was a credit to the race and
was one OF Albuquerque's leading en-
terprises, and was well patronized by
all classes.
