importance Of Good Education
many times people have
come to me and asked me
what reasons did I have for
going to Johnson C. Smith
University. After submitting
various reasonings I included
that Smith is a black institu
tion, and to me black institu
tions are the backbones of the
education of a great majority
of our black population.
Educating our blacks is of
utmost concern for a success
ful black environment.
The world in which we live
in has been stereotyped as
being the white man’s world.
It is the white man who is on
the top as to political, social,
as well as economical power.
It is the white man’s platform
that upholds the nation’s jobs
and enterprises. But why is
the world situated in this way?
Because of the improper edu
cation of the larger mass of
our black population.
We blacks on a whole poss
-- 1VUI u Ui TflUlCO
because we sometimes feel
that no matter how we acti
vate ourselves, the output of
our capabilities rates less than
the performance of the white
man. It is through education
that will help us break away
from this feeling of inferiority,
when really there is no need to
fear a man whose mere differ
ence is the color of his skin.
We blacks should know the
basics of how the government
is run, for the basics must
be comprehensible before the
term in us is reached. We can
understand the basics by at
tending schools and colleges
and upgrading our minds. We
can enrich our vocabulary,
but in such a way that we need
not have to utter words and
phrases that will serve as
support hoisery for our act
ions. For if we seek to be like
the white man being a student
of words, then we may be
graduates possessing a me
morization of words, and a
knowledge of nothing.
Many of us blacks should
value education as a business
asset, and not so much as an
entrance into the joy of intel
lectual experience or ac
quaintance with the best that
has been said and done in the
past. We should value it not so
much as an experience, but as
a tool.
We blacks realize that the
world is like that of a sport,
full of competition. Proper
education helps us to prepare
ourselves for this competition
that we may end up as first
place winners. However, this
competition-makes a division
point for superiority and infe
riority. But it is through true »
Black education that makes
up for this inequality; the
inequality of individuality, the
inequality of success; and the
glorious inequality of talent
and of genius.
However, sacrifices must be
made in order that proper
education be obtained. We
DiacKs must first abandon our
feelings of prejudices and hat
red and thus replace them
with feelings of pride and res
pect, the basic factors needed
for our movement. We must
abandon our acts of laziness
and inconsistencies for those
of ideals, efforts, scholarships
and philosophical continuity.
We must invest our monies in
those riches that will serve for
lifetime profits, such as the
need for freedom, power and
possession. Entertainment
time must sometimes be sa
crificed for time for invention,
discovery, as well as strategy.
For education alone can con
duct us to that enjoyment
which is, at once, best in
quality, and infinite in quanti
ty.
Education is very impor
tant, especially that which is
obtained from many of our
black institutions. It is
through education that we
blacks can obtain a portrait
showing the realization of our
lives, as to where we’ve been,
where we are, and where we
are going.

matic character, John Dea
kin, who is brought aboard a
train under arrest by Marshal

band of Indians and a plot to

Dress up for the costume
judging and surprise a few of
the free floating spooks and
spirits as you creep through
the dark, scary haunted hou
se. If that's too much for you,
try fishing for prizes where
you can find them. If that
doesn’t get you, try an apple
on for size and bob for juicy,
delicious, red apples.
There will be plenty of fun
and games for everyone. The
“Y” invites you to come out
this year in our safe surround
ings so the wicked witches and
alley cats won’t get you.
