for the final solution Of most OF the
problems which have their beginnings
in the present.
after what you have heard from
this platform today am sure you Will
agree with me that the next genera
ton is competent to deal with the
facts, to realize both the simplicity
and the nobility of those fundamental
principles on which our present Well
being has been established.
What these boys and girls here
present and the hundreds of thou
sands of other boys and girls have
done in this great newspaper ven
ture-the National Oratorical Contest
must be a good and sufficient an
swer to the despairing criticism of
youthful radicalism and lnslncer1ty.
You must recognize in these orations
the flame of youthful sincerity applied
to the force of citizenship building,
which is the hope of the world in the
future.
Winners Going Abroad.
"It is a significant and a desirable
feature of this years contest that the
winuers are going abroad to meet
thaye the youth of other countries.
There can be a closer cooperation
between the schools and newspapers
in ventures like this one just closed
the National Oratorical Contest-and
in many other ways.
"If there is a higher education, so
there is also a higher journalism.
Both are founded upon principles of
enlightenment and leadership-both
have an ethical mission.
I'VE all know what great hope for
the future lies in our schools. The
corresponding functions Of newspa-
per are not so well understood.
1.-The students, the analysis, the pro-
fessors, the teachers, are the custo-
dians Of the wisdom Of this age, but
they are mute when they face the
task of communicating their wisdom
to the mass Of people. 1t is the busi-
ness of newspapers to make wisdom
vocal and to reach the mass with their
voices.
ITO engage the interest Of youth,
and to hold it, newspaper must first
assume that their intelligence is of a
standard which can receive and digest
the facts as they are, good or bad.
We must also concede that their
ideas, which may not seem to run
back toward those fundamental prin-
ciples which are most dear, must be
given honest and frank consideration.
If this be granted, a. newspaper can
and does present and encourage this
challenge to the youth of the Nation.
II submit that under these cir
cumstances you will find the mind
Of youth running true to forms Of
citizenship which have made this
country great, and the citizenship
of tomorrow will include the broad
er viewpoint of world citizenship and
it's responsibilities.
Citizenship in Greece.
"In the city of Athens, over 1000
,, years ago, we find the evidence Of
most highly developed conscience
on the subject Of citizenship. The
training in citizenship began in early
youth and at maturity the obliga-
tions of citizenship were probably
better understood on the part of the
whole population than at amy time
before or since. We owe q great
deal to the early achievements of
the Athenian citizens in establish
ing citizenship as public trust. We
have inherited in this dav and apa

COOPS, OF RETENTION

The jails seem to be only coops
of retention where the victim is held
to wait for the mobs to prepare to
torture him. This is not wholly
speculation; but counting upon just
such facts too common to mention
of lynchings Again. this should
urge colored people to turn a deaf
ear to any talk about one race OF
free men entrusting their interests
entirely to the cares OF another. II
these failures are not enough to ex-
cite distrust, We ask what will?
This has too often repeated the
proof that the colored races cannot
trust the Anglo Saxon nor anybody
else to do for them what they should
do for themselves.

ABOVE NATURE

They try to get above nature in
every sense OF the word. And such
people generally fall far below
others. The great social question
of that section hangs upon this
point. A woman is but a woman:
and the instinct Of the feminine
world is to live on easy street and
in the brightest rays of light. They
like gayety and will sacrifice every
other virtue for these pleasures.
Thus brilliancy and the appearance
of plenty; or at least authority will
captivate the average woman, be she
whom she may! And when her own
men can, or will, not indulge her in
such luxuries as are common with
the gay crowd she will contrive
way to know who will
