A MANS CHANCE AMONG MEN

Thinking men and women; work
ing men and women; law abiding
men and women with their families
and friends are going to Mexico.
Not because Mexico offers to set
aside corner for them nor do
these Colored people who go there
wish any such thing, but because it
is an honest country, where law is
law and a man is man, and color
is no handicap.
Colored Americans are becoming
members of the Pan-American De-
velopment Association because it is
making it possible through its
knowledge, privileges and general
activities to lift our lowly colored
brothers above life of oppression
through race prejudice and denied
common comfrot and privileges
through segregation.
The Pam American Development
Association will bring smile to
your countenane with no artificial
backing; freedom to yuur mind and
body, and success to your honest
efforts to be men among men.
Get in touch with this asSocia-
ton that will mean SO much to
your future. You owe it to your
self; you owe it to your family; you
owe it to your children and unborn
generations.

you may make sure step forward

students. Each day furnished its
quota of new arrivals and the rec
ords on The first day of the school
year showed that some 1900 students
had been enrolled. This is the
largest openink day enrolment in
the history of the Institute. Notwith-
standing this fact the stream of ill.,
coming students is yet steady. Every
iota of space will soon be taken up.
1t is also noticeable that many of the
new students are qualifying for the
advanced classes.
The Academic Course has been
somewhat revised and the curricu-
lum Of the Normal Department has
been raised. Courses in Modern
languages, advanced English, Com
mercial Law, Stenoaraphy, Educa-
tionai and Business Methods have
been added to the courses heretofore
offered.
Among the faculty members will
be seen several new faces. They
are new as members of the Tuske-
gee Institute faculty but very well
known in educational circles. A
mong these are Professors: w. I. B.
Williams, Supervisor of Educational
Methods, r. p. O'Hara, Director of
the Department of Natural Science
and B. F. Hubert, Director of the
Agricultural Department. III this
trio of educators, Harvard and Yale
Universities and the Massachusetts,
Agricultural College are represented
respectively.
The r. o. T. C. Unit will be under
the command of Lieut.. Col. Benja-
min o. Davis of the Ninth U. s. Cal
vary Regiment. Lieut.. Col. Davis is
the highest ranking Negro officer on
the active list of the U. S. Army and
is the only Negro who has from the
grade of Private, reached the rank
of Lieutenant Colonel. He will be
assisted by the efficient corp of Ar
my Officers who had charge Of the
work last year.
The inductries will, as susal, be un
der the supervision of experienced
instructors. DR.. r.. r. Motion, Prin-
cipal, is well pleased as to The facul-
ty and general outlook of the incom-
ing year. Perhaps never before has

points to this scholastic year to be
the most successful in the history OF
the Institute.

passing to the "lie direct between
DR.. Plato Durham, Of Emory Uni
versity and w. H.. Terrell of the
Atlanta Board of Education, both
white, when they disagreed over a
discussion in regard TO ,Atlanta's
duty to the Colored people with ref
creme to high school education.
Each of the speakers had disabled
the judgment" of the other, DR.. Dur
ham holding that the Colored race
should be allowed greater high
school facilities, while Mr.. Terrell
took that stand that the board OF
education should concern itself first
with providing the little Colored
childrtn with grammar schools be-
fore attempting TO provide "claSSi-
cal education"
Statements from both Mr.. Terrell
and DR.. durham developed some
heat, and warm exchange between
the two was possibly prevented by
the proposal of President Fred Win
that the question OF high school
education for the Colored be de-
ferred to a later date. when the mat
ter could be discussed behind closed
doors. This suggestion was accept
ed by DR.. Durham who left the coun
Gil chamber with the parting shot at
Mr.. Terrell: "All we want is for you
to make a statement OF the facts,
which you have not done To this
Mr.. Terrell replied with spirit that
he had stated the facts.
