of Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, Presi-
dent of the National Association of

tona-Cookman Institute. Addressing
hundreds of white students from
southern colleges, Mrs. Bethune made
a powerful plea for better under
standing and fair dealing between the
races, declaring that the people of her
race are asking no special favors, but
only the rights and opportunities to
which every American citizen is en-
titled-the right of life, liberty, pro-
lection. education; the right to devel-
op and achieve. in asking for these
rights" said Mrs. Bethune, 1.-The Me-
gro is not trying to be white. He
only wants a fair chance in the race
of life, that he may be his own best. "
The address was received with pro-
longed applause; many of the stu
dents crowded forward to express
their appreciation of the address and
all spoke of it in the highest terms.

the Rev. Paul S. Wright, pastor OF

graduating class of the Bismarck
High School in his sermon at the
Baccalaureate service held yesterday
afternoon in the city auditorium.
"The Proportionate Growth of the
Personality" was the subject Of Mr.
Wright's sermon. "Our PERSONAL.
ties," the speaker said, care three
fold-body, soul and mind. The bod.
we own should be kept in good con-
dition because we have learned that
the body in poor condition effects
the two intangible realities of mind
and soul"
"God meant US to develop all three
parts OF our personality" declared
the speaker. He advised the gradu-
ating class to give more time to
spiritual development, "for, while we
ourselves take care of our bodies and
our minds are taken care of by oul
teachers, the soul is wholly depend
ent for development on the exercise
Of prayer and meditation given it, by
the individual"
Mr.. Wright defined education in
its most modern meaning as the ef-
fort to bring out what is in the child
and make harmonious the three
parts of the personality.
