,.s, and without foundation this in
,,;tution has no place for you In
,,bsr words. it is truly all It says, and

b;gb school. and what not.
Have vou been to Howard Univer-

When / wrote to you last week !
w,s around and about Philadelphia.
.,5 accepted an invitation to spend
day at Howard University, and I
,svsr spent such day in all my life,
.,d I have been shouting ever since
I,i, there looking at so many edu-
rated men and women of our race, and
those preparing to become educated.
Til. more ! saw the many improve
,.n,s and the more / saw DR.. Scott
:, MS Office with the large number
NJ clerks and stenographeTs under him
tbe more ! felt like thanking God for
Emmett J. Scott. He is one of the
great men Of our race.
Reaching the city, DR.. w. H. Jer-
usgin. president of the National Race
Congress, toted me up to Howard
University IN his automobile. This
made me 60 to the school in style
I reported TO the Office of the Secre-
tarv-Treasurer, but he had gone to
the CITY. This of course then put me
TO report to others. They were will
ing to give me a guide, but | decided
that / would guide myself, and out i
struck on a tour to study Howard
University, but, believe me, honey. it
would just take you a month to study
this great institution, and then the
ksE --orId not be told. viii just
res eft OF my getting around
Eae -. iound me in the Office of
Igs- --r'v Miller. He is dean of the
Jl- "-le-e- His secretary escort

5zv.-- . lass in something. The

2, r-zk1 myself right at home with
Gnem. ne told me what they were
having. 1t was class of about 50
young men and women from all parts
Of the country, and some from for
eign countries. / looked at them, and
heard them talk over affairs, and then
Dean Miller asked me to have a few
things to say. / had my say, and
then to another room. and another
room. and another. This is not a
child's school. and you will believe me
when l tell you they are not having
the child's study. but problems requir-
ing brains to grzpple with.
| found that among other things
they have there were Liberal Arts,
Education. Applied Science. Com
msrce and Finance, Journalism, Re-
HgiOu. Medicine. Music. General Serv-
ice, and Law. Then to come in touch
with the heads of the departments.
The president is one of the finest men
II has been my lot to meet His heart
s in the right place. and with him
education IS not a play or mockery
Il IS either education or no education.
It Is like that fellow IN some kind Of
sphere who said:
To be or not TO be,
That IS the question.
