KROO TRIBESMAN
 HARVARD GRAD
Returning From Africa to Attend 3OOth Anniver- sary at Cambridge

East Ncrthheld, Mass, July B. Belief in miracles will be emphaSiz" cd ct the Northfeld general corl- ference the first two weeks in August when Mr. Plenyono 0be Wolo, Q native of the Kroo tribe in Liberia, Africa, appears on the plat. form as . speaker Taken right out of the bush when Q mere led, Wolo came in contact with the Rev. James Robertson, Q missionary, and before he was through with his education he had won degrees at Mount HerFnon school, Harvard cole lege, Columbia, and Union Theolog. ical Seminary.
 About 1897, when Wolo first knew MT. Robertson, he was taken to Monrovia to attend the Monrovian Seminary. Here he lived with Rev. and Mrs. Alexander P. Camphor, during which time he assumed 6 mastery of English, and taught for c time the fourth grade in his school. In 1910 he sailed for Amer. ica, to enter Mount Hermon school, and waS graduated in 1913.
 He promptly entered Harvard, where by dint of hard work and some help from friends, he com. pleted the four year course. His work in English was 50 good that he was allowed to omit the fresh. man English. Tn the fall of 1917 Wolo entered Union Seminary, tak- ing while there courses in Teachers college as well.
 His devotion to his people and his desire to help them never grew dim, and in 1918 he returned to Africa. Since then he has been in both religious and social work, having in his early days entertained the high ambition to take part in preventing the economic exploita- ton of his people by other nations. He was for c time in the employ of the FireStone Rubber company in one of their plantations. More re. gently he studied law and passed the bar examination In his capital city of Monrovia, where he is prac- 1 ticing before the court
 His coming trip to America is partly for the purpose of attending the 300th anniversary celebration ct Harvard, among whose alumni he holds c unique place racially.
 With his intellectual gifts, Wolo combines c deep deligious nature and great courage and devotion where his own people are concern cd. Few American students have overcome difnculties with such con- sistently high ideals as those shown by this Kroo boy who had c chance.

life of the nation. The tendency has been to relegate the imini- grant to an extraneous position in the American community and to attempt to solve the problems created by his presence by ignor. ing his existence. But to do that Is no longer possible.
 It is, therefore, of prime impor- tance to find the right answer to the second question-what can be done in the future to speed up the process of adjustment?
 The whole matter swings back again to education as the key to the solution of the problem. There must be an intelligently planned educational program based upon Q comprehensive knowledge of what is really required. To secure such an understanding 1t is neces- sary to survey and analyze the educational forces in the tmmi- grant communities in order to de- termine how they may be best utilized. Foreign language news papers and magazines, the foreign language church, and social club, the political club. the Mutual Aid Society, labor unions, recrcational centers, educational centers, H. braries, musical and dramatic or- genlzations, with the school itself as the very center of the process all these have an important part in the program of adjust Tnent. Last but not least, the lead- ership in the foreign groups. ex- istent and in the making, must be taken into consideration. It must be drawn into the intelligent planning for the future; the best type of leaders in the American group must lend their influence and their sympathy to achieve a happy solution of the problem.
 In tomorrow nights issue of the Democrat, pr. CovellO's address Will be concluded with remarks on the power of foreign language press.

 all are made conscious of the fact that this event is but the first milestone in the long and beauti- ful road to greater achievements, to greater growth, greater respon- sibility in which the constant goal must, of necessity be, dedication to tho service of the community from which they spring. More important still Q function of this sort awakens in these young people the feeling that they are not isolated, but that they belong to Q larger unit of which not only they, but their parents as well, should form an integral part.

 wholesome continuity that will make of them more complete per- sonalities. For all too often tho children born in America of Ital- ian parents live their intellectual, spiritual and social life apart from the life of their fathers and moth. CTS. Family solidarity is broken, traditions that have stood the test of time are cast thoughtlessly off and these young people are tossed about like ships without a rudder or sail struggling and floundering to make port. Only too often such life voyage early ends in disaster.
 Significant Facts
 Another significant fact is that in Q small city like Waterbury there are as many as 222 gradu. ates of Italian origin from the local high schools, colleges and other higher institutions from all over the country. It is not so very long ago that the high school graduates of Italian origin were comparatively few and that among college graduates they were negligible factor. The growth has been decidedly marked. saw the growth myself In o most interesting way. When was chairman of the Depart ment of Italian at the Dewitt Clinton high school, I actually saw the students of Italian origin grow not only in number but in scholarship and achievement. At first only a handful of boys of Italian origin were graduating, soon however the number grew until in a school of 10000 boys more than a thousand were of Italian origin and the number who were graduates from the high school were in direct proportion to their enrolment in the school. The same I earnestly hope will before very long happen where ever there is a group of people of Italian origin in America.
 Importance Realized
 For the parents and the chil- dren and the Italian Community have begun to realize the impor- tance of the school, the necessity for giving their children the training necessary to take their place in American life. They feel that the future of their children, of their family, and of their com. munity lies in taking advantage of the educational opportunities that America offers all of it's chil- dren. And this feeling and this feeling and this attitude is stead- fly increasing. There seems to be Q ferment in all these Italian communities, an intellec tu al awakening, an eagerness to par- ticlpate in the life of the immed- fate community and in the larger American community beyond their own.
 Among the 222 young people who have been honored. there are among you some who hae travei- cd far away from home and who are bringing home to your people and your community the story of your experiences in the greater community which is America. Thus you are completing that most important cycle of ffiend- ship which will eventually create in this country one people among whom barriers Of nationality groupings cannot and will no longer exist.

ty in the hills of Connecticut, l hoped fervently that the hundreds of communities throughout, the United States in which there are people of Italian origin would also gather their young people about them at graduation time to do them honor, for in so doing they would be building c magnificent bridge between the 1taio-Ainer- ican youth with their parents and their community ct one end and ct the other, the larger American life to which by virtue of birth, training and future life they necessarily belong.
 A function such as this doubly significant because the older and younger generations are thus drawn closer together on the same plane and thus they are helped to understand and respect each other more fully and to feel that there is no break in their lives but
