that the meetings were worse than use
less unless the two groups met in
frank and sympathetic discussion OF ex
listing moral and spiritual evils in the
light of the facts as they are known to
exist. He did not believe he said, that
,,cleaning up back yards was haaf SO
important as purifying black hearts
and creating public sentiment look
ing to higher regard for the makers
of our homes-our women and girls.
He wanted to know how the inter-rac

protection of Negro women. The law
yer declared that it is we'll known that
the Negro woman has been the foot
mat for the beasts of both races for
generations.
"It is so we'll known" he continued,
"that scant consideration will be given
her when her honor has been assailed
and she seeks legal redress, that 1t has

to converse well and pleasingly is
an ideal we should all have and once
obtained, we should be proud of it;
but to hold long winded speeches
like so many empty wagons rafting
down the street, shows not only care
lessness of thought for the peoples
feelings, but also an inclination to
think you are the only ship on the
sea.
Therefore, we should bride our
tongues, lest we become a band of
chattering monkeys. Speak when
spoken to. Give information when
asked for, in such a manner that it
will help the person who is receiv-
ing it. Do not divert from the point
or talk with unconnected chatter
till you yourself become befuddled
and the other person out of patience.
If you have Talkablitiy, learn to
advance your points clearly using no
vain or elaborate words. but above
all do not talk on about something
of which you have no knowledge.
The essence of talkability being to
express yourself clearly, to have
knowledge of the subject about
which you are talking and to know
when to stop.

settling seven miles southwest of Ar

period of school starts. Let all try
to make it better than the proceed

cards this time, undoubtedly many
of us will be discouraged at the low
grades and at the number of figures
that show us how low they are; but
this has been the first six weeks and
I'VE have had hard time getting ac-
quainted with our subjects and get
ting down to real work. BY now we
should have clear view of our sub
jects and with our surplus energy
left over from summer vacation
worked off we should be able to en-
ter into our work with greater en-
thusiasm.
Even though our grades for this
time are we'll under rs, if we inn
prove our time we can pass easily
this semester with wide margin.
Twelve weeks remain in this semes-
ter to bring our average up to rs so
let's get busy.
