The Thirst No LEARN

\ middle aged negro laborer entered
the building or northern Indiana
Young Mems Christian association one
day and asked to see the man who
taught electricity. The secretary who
met him surmised at first glance that
he was looking for a Job.
All wants to learn 1ectricity." was
the prompt and disconcerting reply to
question The negro took small
package from under his arm and I'M
folded its contents.
"Ah been teachin' mahself from desc
heah books, but all done got stuck all
on sudden" he added as he handed
the textbooks to the secretary. They
were issued for beginners by a CORE
spondence school
DO YOU meant to say that you've
been studying electricity from these
textbooks the negro was asked
Vas. sub; ali suttinly does. he re-
piled with smile
Why unused the secretary. Tots of
men with a college education would
have a mighty hard time getting
through these books"
"Ah don't read EN-, boss" said the
negro. Nah wife do dat. Lord sakes.
ali KANT read or write either. but
q h m boun all m goin' to learn bout
dis heah Electricity. All done put a
hundred an ffteen dollahs into desc
heah books. an an suttinly gotta get

BY a little questioning the secre-
tary discovered another OF those "hu-
man interest" stories which so fire.
quently turn UP around an association
building The eoIored man had long
been student of practical electricity,
but he wanted regular position as
an electrician and had purchased an
outfit of lessons and books from an
agent who ignoring the fact that the
man could neither read nor write. had
painted the future of such a vocation
In glowing terms. The negro and his
Wife had deprived themselves of food
and clothing and many other necessi-
ties of life for the sake of his obtain
