So let it be-" or "May this come to
pass" or something like that, but ac-
cording to a distinguished Hebrew
scholar in Atlanta it means neither
but comes from an old expression
meaning "True."
Thus when you say "Amen" at the
end of a prayer, or at the end of a

you are saying is. "That is the TRUTH

BETTER EDUCATION FOR NEGRO
CHILDREN.

After investigation it is easily seen
that the negro school in this city needs
more attention. In the first place,
there should be a new building. The
present one is inadequate in size to
accommodate the more than one hun
dred children now attending school in
it. Again, the building now used is
not altogether safe.
In the second place there are not
enough teachers to make it possible
for them to deal with the children in
the proper manner. There are two
teachers for 100 scholars, ranging from
beginners to possibly ninth grade stu
dents. 1t is absolutely impossible for
two people to cover such wide course
Of study in school day; if they do it
it is only half done.
Some readers may not feel kindly
disposed toward negro education, but
why not? Education does not make
the negro mean or bad or brutal any
more than it does other races of peo-
pie. To observe ignorance in any indi-
yidual IS most pathetic sight. 1t
is rally sad to see a negro in a gro
cerv sore buying something to eat
these timcs who is SO ignorant that he
cannet figure up his bill. Why are
such Fhings common? In most in
starces simply because somewhere the
school facilities for negroes were poor.
Broad-n1inded people of today real
lie thoroughly that white men need
the negro, and the negroes who have
any sense at all know that they need
the white man. In fact, the whites

Then why not all work together for

"Since the Boy Scouts OF America
have taken over the responsibility of

cards, believe its success is assured"
said n prominent citizen OF Birming-

ever have undertaken has proved q
great success. The scout organization
seems to bring ont the very finest quail
tiles in boys, and among the most ex-
cellent Of these is their feeling of pride
In responsibility and determination to
meet that responsibility.

to. They are fine army Of soldiers
