Drought
Th« continned drought has re-

dang«roua stage in many years
Durh^im — In his eomraene©-
ment address to the 96 members
of the senior «laaa at North
Carolina College Tuesday, June
3, Governor J. Melville Broughton
paid excellent tribute to the work
of President Jamei?. E. Shepard
of the College and urged the
class, as well as the human race,
to avoid the dangpers of compla
cency. The recently elected Gov
ernor prefaced his address to the
record number of graduates with
multiplied word^i of praise and
respect- for the development
which the North Carolina College
has undergone under the guiding
hand of Dr. Shepard. He said,
“Dr. Shepard is truly a great
man, who has struggled with
meager resources and unbounded
faith.’*
Referring to Dr. Shepard \ pre
diction that he would be the next
Governor of the state, Broughton
fjaid, “Dr. Shepard has proved
tq 'be not a minor, but a «ajor
prophet. I am glad to come here
to fulfill a promise and to wit-
of the state in regard to Negro
education^ tlie gorernor declared.
“I am glad to live in and be
governor of a state that docf-. not
have to ajjologize for the oppor
tunities for development and
training provided for its Negro
citiaena. In North Carolina today
wo are spending more for Negro
education than we epent forty
years ago for both races. In
education we have not had to
wait for a mandamus of court to
bring equity and to give Kegro
boys and girfei a chance for grow
th and progress.”
Governor Broughton made an
earnest plea for youth to inter
est itself in the skilled occupa
tion because “This is dn era in
which we mnqt train competently
if we would meet competition. A
nation of trained 'people will be
hard tji defeat or conquer. We
are fac^^^h the greatest com
petition ra skilled occupations
that we have faoed in all the 160
years of our nation. I plead for
ness the growth and greatness of recognition of the importance of
this insititution."
‘^CompUceMy is a deadly
thing,” he continued, “we need
to set up new goals and now
standards for the future. Noth
ing would be more deadly than
for this institution to think that
it, had reached perfection for
there are no perfect institution”

lines of complacency and atrophy
