OPPORTUNITY.

Some of us may have had oppor-
tunity and succeed, some of US may
have had opportunity and failed, but
do not get discouraged, for without
the use of opportunity there is no one
who will succeed in this world, wheth-
er it be in the labor departments, in
the business world, or whether it be
in school. Specially in school, where
a young boy or girl is laying their
foundation for future life and if they
shall become successful men and wo-
en- they will have to make use of their
opportunities. B.
We all know that opportunity is
no good to US unless we grasp it and
make use of it.
Education is a necessary factor be-
fore we can grasp opportunity. We
must cultivate a sweet loving dispo-
sition so that we can learn to become
meek and mild like Jesus Christ. He
was the greatest factor that we have
to try and follow in making our civ
~ilization worth while and that we can
be able to grasp an opportunity when
it comes our way. n
Character is a necessary factor in
the grasping of opportunities. If we
have a stock Of questionable sort Of
| character we will never amount to
anything in this world Of ours. We
must keep u names clear of spots
and blemishes if we wish to get the
! best out Of life. "Mind our own af-
| fairs" When we have learned ia
look after our own affairs we will
have learned one Of the fundamental
reasens why those who have succeed.
led IN this world are men and women

In part said:
Hampton stands not merely as a
school, but as n statesmanlike program
in the making of race. In addition
to making quiet homes, improved
farms and thrifty shops, Hampton has
planted racial self respect and hope In
the heart of the Negro. Negroes are
no longer scattered as sheep without a
shepherd. The race has been given CO.
herence, individuality and sense Of
capacity for growth and achievement
by reason Of the confidence which
Hampton has reposed In its character.
Hampton is not to be regarded so
much as a new method in education
as the substance of social philosophy
for all backward peoples. II racial ad-
