STRESSES NEED
FOR EDUCATION
Rev. J. @. Colley AID
dresses Howard Col
lege Graduates

American ideals, democracy and .edu-
cational facilities Monday were given
chief emphasis by Rev. j. O. Colley in
the annual alumni address to the grad
uating class, visitors and members of
the alumni association at Howard col
lege.
Speaking from the subject, Our
Country and Some of Her Problems"
DIR. Colley outlined the history of the
greater ancient powers and their fall
through internal decay, and declared
that the whole world, and the, United
States in particular, must observe this
lesson from the past redress its
wrongs, and live by the golden rule.
ITO bring our nation to an era of
strength heretofore unknown, we must
follow right education, observe strictly
the problems of Christianity, think
right and live right" stated DR..
Colley.
What kind of citizenship shall we
hayeY was given by DIR. Colley as
the chief question confronting the Amer
lean people of today. Speaking from
this standpoint, he said THE chief
evils which the American public faces
today, the control of professional poll.
ticians, legislative incompetence, dis
regard for law, public extravaganza and
unfair taxation, all spring from the
failure of the citizens to see that the
right sort of men are induced to run
for office and elected"
Negroes And Aliens
The presence of many aliens and the
negro element had much to do with the
American problem, according to DR..
Colley. Another problem of popula-
ton is that of birth decrease, which
the alumni speaker attributed to hasty
marriages, divorces and the general
greed and stress of crowded life.
Immediately after the address, mem.
bersa of the alumni met at a banquet
in the dormitory dining hall, followed by
meeting of the trustees of the college
with President DIR. John G. Dawson.
Members of the class of 1904, OF
which the alumni orator is a member
and of the class of 1914 celebrated a
reunion on this occasion. All organi-
cations on the campus held open house
for visitors between 4 and 6 pm.
On Monday evening, a program was
given by the combined musical and
dramatic organizations of the college
for the entertainment of students and
visitors.
