WHAT IS 1T THAT RETARDS THE
PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO?
By CHAS. C. STRINGER

Do not let your minds to the lofty mountains
where sometimes go for recreation the mighty
waters of the which make such euphonus
while rushing to lower land. But may you think o.
criticised ostracized, segregated and stigmatzed
and that is the Negro
Having observed the privileges of the Negro, have
learned that he has the opportunity to matrcuate in
of the best schools in the United States Not only
that have of the best DOCTORS teachers lawyers
and preachers, and of the best schools under
our jurisdiction. When wants religious training
recommend to him Bishop College and Virginia Union
University; and when wants vocation agricul
tural training recommend Tuskegee Institute
Hampton Institute and Alcorn A & M College
and Howard University Now after having these advan-
tages there something that is reardng the progress of
the Negro.
From observation find that there several things
than hinder the advancement of Namely Car
lessness wasefuness, uncleanness deness Impotence
and ineficiency.
Now word about careessness 1t is fact chat
the Negro whole is too negectful that he
to not he is qualified 1t is true that there
is that is looking upward to higher standard
of intelligence that will recognize careless neglect
full
Now of the ways the negro is careless these
the way dresses the way his home and the
education of his children. And when careless
about these things go upward; especially when
fail to give children the proper training of
government Because if they know not the constitution of
the United States how to vote, they will be kept out
affairs of government progress will be retard
ed.
Wastefulness l have mentioned has helped to
keep the Negro down. There hundreds of dollars
thrown away by the Negro by his buying many useless
things Namely tobacco snuff whiskey and various other
similar things.
Not only have careessness and wastefulness been
obstacles in the path of the Negro but there several
others which have just mentioned. Since ia
milar with them shall only emphasize the latter one
'inefficency. Ineficency inadequacy lack of
being prepared One of the greatest troubles with the
colored he hates to prepare himself that he might
be able to meet the requirements of our We do
not have enough who prepared to operate real
dry goods grocery and hardware stores Nor do we have
enough who able to stand and plead for our
race. Now may say to the reader as long as we are
inefficient going to be criticised ostracsed segre
gated and stigmatized. And long are in this
condition progress will be retarded.
Now as close this discourse may | say let us begin
now prepare ourselves for the benefit of our race

TIGHTEN RULES AS
TWO FLIERS PERISH
Straightaway Dashes in Miami Races
Must Be Heightened, Govern
ment Orders

Miami, Fla, Dec. 4.-(AP)-The
deaths of two race pilots on the open
ing day of Miami's annual air show
brought a ruling today by the De-
partment of Commerce that contes-
tants must extend the length of their
initial straightaway dashes.
Rudy King, of Lemont, ILL.,, and
Frank Haines, of Detroit, plummetted
to death yesterday as they rounded
a SCATTER" pylon which served to
string out the contestants, immediate
Nv after taking off for one of the
feature races. On the theory that 4
contributing cause of the accidents
may have been the fact that the tiny
planes had not obtained flying speed
by the time they reached the first
turn, the Commerce Department ex-
tended the pylon marks half mile
farther.
The second day events encompassed
three minor races, interspersed with
stunt and precision flying. The own
ers of "flivver" airplanes, which can
fly at speeds of Is and 80 miles an
hour only with considerable "grunt-
ing" enjoyed a field day. Joe Mars,
of Miami, captured the first closed
course race for light planes over a
