Has worked wonders with those who had definite plan
To see that their dark brother stood
To get a chance if he proved good
Help to see the good it has done

For harmony has heart of stone.

or her views, limited only by a just
appraisal of their merits. / know,
too, that failure or refusal to do
Just this results in the conviction
in many young minds that youth
is held a crime by older people and
the young are not given a chance
because of it.
There is a reason for this. 1t does
not cover every case. 1t is, however,
sufficiently true to be applicable
to the great majority of times
when youth must go elsewhere for
the honor it should receive at home.
Youth is expected to be Eighty,
indispensable cocksure, headstrong,
demanding.
When youth passes into MATURE
ty it is justly expected to drop the
failing of the adOlescent, seeing
and speaking as a child; to take
unto itself the characteristics of
men.
Too many young people fail to
do this. Too many times they carry
over into the serious years of ma
turity the offensive viewpoint we
gladly overlook in our children.
The result not only blinds US to
any abilities individually possessed,
but inclines- US to deprecate the
possibilities and accomplishment
of all youth.
Jesus had reason to be bitterly
disappointed at the failure of His
people to honor Him.
Many of present day youth have
not, and that is why, 50 often, a
man is without honor in his own
environment.

Letters to the
Editor
Why Go South?
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The intention of many college
students who attend northern uni
versities is to finish school and go
south either to teach, to preach, or
to go into one of the other profess
sions. Especially is this true of the
graduates of the University of
Minnesota and the private colleges
of this state. The reasons for this
may be two-fold. Graduates may
need a job Immediately, as it seems
most people go to school for this
purpose rather than education, or
the other reason may be that they
are intellectual towards and do not
care to do pioneering work.
The writer has in mind a few
students whose parents circum-
stances would have permitted them,
the students, to remain in the Twin
Cities to help do a few things that
are essential if Negroes want to
progress in this state.
A camp for Halle @. Brown and
Phyllis Wheatley House is needed.
A cooperative farm, cO-opera-
tive grocery store, a cooperative
oil station, and a larger credit I'M
ion are needed.
More colored doctors and nurses
in our hospitals, colored teachers
in our schools, and colored alder
men in our City Council are need
ed.
We live in a state with many
civil-minded and intelligent white
people. We also have in this state
a political administration that will
assist US in the above mentioned
aspirations.
Few states have so much natural
beauty as does the state of Mime
sofa. In fact, this state might re-
mind one of heaven minus the
golden slippers, milk and honey.
Why go south when there is so
much to be done here?

Here And
There
By w. NJ. Smith

When the Son of Man lived on
the earth, performed His wonder
full work in behalf of humanity,
worked His miraculous cures of hu-
man suffering, introduced His wide
sympathy for human frailities,
cast out devils and raised the dead,
even His enemies grudgingly asked
the question, what manner of
man is this?"
1t must have been a severe blow
to His human nature and to that
of the men, His followers and close
associates, to learn that of all peo-
pie who were unable to understand
or appreciate the unusual value of
His philosophy and the divine ma
ture of His work were the men,
bers of His own family and the
neighbors who had known Him all
His life.
1t only appealed to them that He
was a son of Joseph, the carpenter,
and they could not possibly con-
ceive that there could be anything
to marvel at in one they had known
so intimately.
In the encouragement of their
expressed disbelief, Jesus was I'M
able to do any of the work that
set Him so clearly apart from
other men. 1t led Him to say, "a
man is not without honor save in
his own country and among his
own people"
Since that day men have recOg-
nized this trait in their fellows and
have been content to accept the I'M
fortunate fact that man is rarely
hOnOred by those who know him
best.
But as a human characteristic,
it is subject to analysis and ex-
PLANTATION. This is seldom attempt
ed.
recall that ten or twelve years
ago l knew a boy who attended the
Sunday school in which l taught.
He was somewhat brighter than
the average and somewhat the
more aggravating because he
would not make use of that intel
igence to develop the desirable
qualities we older ones could so
clearly discern. He could never be
depended upon to keep his word or
realize that life would not always
be a pleasure ground with no re-
sponsibilities for him.
In the decade that has passed he
has grown to manhood and has
achieved a wife and family. Lies
bitter realities have faced him, yet
he has done a good job of meeting
them and is by way of making a
good citizen.
But for the life of me I can't
take him seriously. For me he is
still the irresponsible boy. 1 can't
get over my surprise when he does
the thing he has promised to do.
am still accepting with compla-
cency his Difference to my opinions.
/, who have known him so long and
so well, fail to give him the honor
to which his contributions to socie-
ty so definitely entitle him.
This is peculiarly strange in that
have sought to hold it true, that
any boy or girl, upon reaching
years of discretion, reaches also
years of developed intelligence, and
should have the consideration of
any other man or woman; should
have respectful hearing for his

his prize targets is one he used at
100 yards with a 22 calibre rifle.
Out of the 10 shots fired a nickle

target, and the nickle touches that
