a column and a half article, written
by 8. R. Withers, reviews the novel
undertaking of the Universty of
North Carolina students to uplift the

reference Is made to the operation
of a night school by the University
Y. M. G. A. whereby the negro boys
of the community deprived of an
educational opportunity during the
day, can learn to read and write by
applying themselves a few hours
each night during the week. Ten
University students engage in the

the negro boys six subjects?

What "working like a ulggcr"?that

down and picked up the rail, their j

Helplessness. ,
The greatest moment In our career Is
when we awaken to the shining troth
that our life, to make or mar, la wholly
in our bonds; that neither dark deatlny
nor. grim fate nor the stars nor the decrees
of tbe gods nor the machinations
of men or derlla ran cheat us of that
greatness of soul and serenity of mind
which are tho crown of real success.
The most terrible note In tbe despair
of the despairing Is tfte sound of helplessness.
To feel that the universe is
a hugs machine to grind us at last to
dust, that the odds of existence are
against ns sod that we are borne down
by the tramp of Irresistible forces
