that am not thoroughly educated, as

still have chance, fighting chance
as we boys say, to become thorough

cause of my backwardness in school is
my eyesight. am badly handicapped
because Of my near-sightedness.
When I get to work will purchase a

greatly improve my sight and will en-
able me to grasp education better. AL
though my education is not expertly
l feel that'I can say something about
the leadership question.
The gentleman that will sit in the
chair of leadership should be expert
enced in arts as we'll as science. He
will be looked upon as the educated
and learned representative of our race.
He must expertly be learned in the
following methods and also under
stand them: AS a~doctor he will pos
sess great expert knowledge. AS a
naturalist be we'll cultured in this art
so as to teach coming young students.
Mechanism-he should be we'll learned
in this, as it covers everything from
