1 DUCATION WITHOUT FRILLS
ROCKY MOUNT As a mem*
be,' of the colored race, (commonly
called ‘Negroes') which has been
the footstool of all other races in
America - and most areas of mod
ern civilization - I am naturally
interested in our people ALWAYS
putting their BEST FOOT FOR
WARD in ALL endeavors of life.
Thus, we may often seem unduly
critical of our fallacies.
It is often quite discouraging to
observe how we MISPLACE OLR
VALUES of what is really impor
tant in making for a well-rounded
life for our families and the race.
For instance, Sunday after church
we observe a mother drive her car
up to the theatre and deposit six
youngsters under 13 years of age.
Another car left one boy. There
were hordes of others coming a
foot and in other cars. Question
arose as to WHY those same par
ents do not exert the same effort
in getting their children to Sun
day School and Church - and, bet
ter still, go WITH THEM??? Too
busy, they say.
There is NOTHING at all in the
theatre that will make for a really
BETTER life as compared with the
Sunday School and Church, do you
think??? How cun they neglect so
great a salvation? It, is because
they misplace their values of what
makes for a better life far their
offspring.
Too many people prefer enter
tainment instead of education. We
need all the education for practi
cal living we can get to equip us
to meet the challenge of an inte
grated society * which is just a
head, die-hard segregationist net
withstanding.

And all urge is blind save when
there is knowledge,
And all knowledge is vain save

And all work is empty save when
there is love.
And when you work with love
i 'as 1 feel each of you did and

God."
To the students I have not e

preciation to you for your very
fine conduct and behavior, with
one exception you were sweet and
