Mr.. VIM. Crosthwait
Hon. w. A. Crosthwait delivered
the address to graduates.
Although no dispensation is made
for him ON account of race or previ-
Gus condition of servitude, the Ne,
gro is required to come up to and
abide by the highest political,
moral and spiritual standards
said Mr.. William A. C~rosthwait,
the we'll known attorney, Monday
night at the commencement exercises
of the Academy and Industrial School
of the Immaculate Mother,
The exercises were presided over
by Bishop Thos. S. Byrne, and aca-
demic honors were awarded the grad
uating class, the first class having
graduated from the institution, thus
marking a very successful years
work. Bishop Byrne presented gold
watches to Evelyn Marie Crosthwstt
for proficiency in domestic art, and
Georgia E. Cannon for proficiency in
domestic science. &
In his address to the graduates Mr..
Crosthwait urged that the greatest as
sets of a true education are enamel
patton from superstition, a knowledge
of ones environment, the increased
power Of usefulness, the consciousness
of such power and the willingness to
use ones power for the benefit of the
neighbor.
He declared that there were three
forces independent and apart from the
Negroes interest and well being that
demanded his education. These were:
The necessities of the white man, the
demands of the political institutions
and the demands of the Christian re
ligion,
He %contended that there are two diff
fculties in the way of the solution o.
the race problem. "The dominant ele
ment do not recognize the fact that thu
Negro is a child of God and the Negro
has not discovered himself his owl
identity as SUCH" continued the speak
err, "and no aggregation of irrespOn
: sible religious sects that accommodate
themselves to local p%rejudices cal
t meet the demand. The solution mus
: come through a great religious organ
| ~ization that has a common mercy sea
: for all nations of the earth"
On Wednesday night in the aud
S forum of the school the commenc,
ment exercises were concluded wit
S the rendition of the operetta, 9Th
