One of the most encouraging signs
Of the educational progress which IS
being made by young Afro-Americans
in Greater New York is found in the
fact that larger number of them are
to be found on the records who have
passed satisfactory examinations for
public school teachers. clerks and ste
nographers, positions in the postal serv-
ice and other municipal positions than
has been the case in former years.
Our young women have taken on new
inspiration and seem determined to
overcome those difficulties which for,
merly kept back many from reaching
the goal of their ambition. They are
learning the lessons of self reliance
and persistence. by which alone they
may hope TO succeed. \ young woman
