ADULT EDUCATION


The colored citizens OF Seattle
and King County should by all
means take advantage Of the OPP
portunity for adult Education and
Recreation now being taught BY
more than twenty Of their own
people.
The solution Of al human prob
lens ultimately rests upon rightly
directed education. and in many
ways the adult years are better
than youth for learning We learn
more effectively when years have
enriched us with experience, and
it is automatic that the educated
man or woman IS far more valu-
able to society than the uneducat-
ed. It is likewise obvious that ig-
norance is the most fruitful source
Of human ills, and that no race or
group Of people is stronger than
it's weakest link.
The good results thus far obtain
ed, as shown by the reports Of this
group of teachers. merits the sup
port and encouragement Of all race
loving citizens who believe in
bringing forth all the native capa-
cities Of our group for the benefit
Of ourselves and of society.
