Eisit to Wilberforce, encouraged par
'nts to send their children to higher
|ehools Of learning, make sacrifices in
order to send them. Environment plays
! large part in training, no parent is
able to cope with the situation in their
,wn community. Let these boys and |
irls get a touch Of Negro culture in
,ur Negro colleges.
DR.. Du Boise says in the July Crisis:
If the Negro is to survive in the
world Of thought the foundation for his
Future must be laid in the Negro Uni
versity. Let these children get touch |
'f good, tstrong Negro culture and we
will have fewer social break downs and |
happier mothers and fathers. Make the |
sacrifice, educate your children. IF you
DO not they will in most cases seek the
education the dance halls and brothels |
ofer.
DR.. .Du Bosses statement will be
noted with care. Let the men of Fisk,
Wilberforce and other schools of color
N these parts take notice and act ac-
sordingly.
