SHOOTING At THE MARK
Leaders Must Know

the American mind the Ne

sity, hence the Importance of
the Negro college and minis
try to train men and women
of this blood to the higher
offices to which their destiny
calls them. Just in proper

regation increases, the de-
mand for internal leadership
becomes intensified. No race,
even thru its most sacrificing
members can furnish intimate
direction for a despised peo-
pie. where general regulation
compel them to ride in separ-
ate coaches and to walk the
streets apart. and to move in
separate social spheres.

same degree of education,
regardless of the social ad-
vantages of the people among
whom they will be called to
labor. There devolves upon
the leadeship of this race the
handling of issues which are
as far reaching in their rela- :
tions and as intricate in their
ENHANCEMENT as any that has
taxed the human understand
ing. Surely, they need that
kind and degree of prepara-
ton for their calling which
have been found to be neces-
sary by the experience of the
ages. The function of the
Negro College is to prepare
the choice men of this race to
stand in high places of moral
and spiritual authority as
guides, philosophers and
friends to their less fortunate
brethren. For Want of Wis
ion People Perish, as we'll as
