OVERDOSE |

It is our opinion however that to a
large extent we are getting an overdose
from an educational standpoint. Edu-
cation is all right; education is needed;
however, there is no need to attempt
to put 50 gallons of education in a Is
gallon container. We have large
number of Is, Is, and So gallon edu-
cational containers among young men
and women who have an overdose
ranging from so to 1OO gallons.
If we as a group would lay more
stress on training our young people to
get down to the common business Wallis
of life, to learn how to make a living
learn how to promote racial enterprises
we would come nearer getting some
where. There is no need of having a
car without tires and as a racial grouc
we have too many educated young cars
dressed up looking good, a good motor
and no rubber to roll on. Have you
ever seen car rolling down the street
or highway with no tires on it? Isn't
it pathetic sight to see a good looking
car humping along the highway some
times with just one flat? We cannot
make speed without rubber. I have
made short study of some of the white
business firms and concerns in Meri-
dian and have found that a large num-
Der of young business white men have

The weekly echo., 1940-08-09

believe that we need large number
of men to get high school training and
then go in business and make jobs for
some of the people who hold degrees.
Let it be understood that we need
lawyers, doctors, ministers and few
other professionals with degrees How
ever it should also be understood that
degrees do not make men and women
and it is not necessary that man spend
a years in college in order to be a
successful farmer or a successful bust
ness man. If an individual is going
to teach he should be trained for that
purpose, however it should be remem-
bered that we are over crowded now
with teachers. Some of these poor
mothers and fathers should send some
Of their boys and girls to the college
of hard knocks and bumps" where they
can get an experience that will help
item to be real men and women with
successful career in life. They would
find in the college of hard knocks and
bumps some good teachers who have
not even had grammar school training
After graduating, then what?
