thing along that line was exploded by
little Willie.

his father wasn't much bigger than a

uncle one day thoughts came into VIII

It has been a practice In the recent
past among our people TO stand OF and
criticize the hayward young Negro
and make no effort to help him. Many
OF US charged him with being respon-
sible for his lost and ruined condition
and fused at him for not turning vol
unfairly to the paths Of rectitude and
for not healing his own ills. Others
Of US blamed our schools and educa-
tional institutions for these lamentable
conditions, always seeming to excuse
parents for their responsibility In the
matter.
All OF which was wide OF the mark
II IL beginning to dawn now upon
the majority OF us that there is no
effective substitute for good home
training Neither schools, colleges nor
reformatories can do work for the
young as effectively as the home. The
schools and colleges do all within their
power for the morals of the young;
the most of their time must OF neces
sity be spent in technical or book In

not better the morals. But conditions
which compel fathers and mothers in
