Our joy is soon turned to mourning when we think of the "futurelessness of this army of graduates as thej march forth -into a world..where coloi is a handicap that cannot be ignored When we say the is, for them we mean in truth the Ne gro world only. These graduates wit! f>ut few exceptions must SUTV5 Tfil Negro race if they serve at all!

OUR BLACK NORDICS" In our trip through North ant South Carolinas, Georgia and Flori da, which we recounted in a previous release, we found-verifications of oui 'hold-your-job" gospel. It is the sanu story in Savannah, Jacksonville Charleston and Columbia, the Negri is being laid off and the lowly whites drifting in from the rural dpstrirt? aid supplanting him. This is the story everywhere, yet- George Schuyler thinks that when I urge Negroes u> hold what jobs tliuy li^iVL', 1 JUH assuming that they are fools! What else can We urge Negroes to do except make strenuous efforts to hold what they have? It is quite singular that the most criticism nVy" "Hold-youi job" gospel has had, has come from NegVoe* who themselves are riding irpon the backs of the lowly group wt are trying to help, laone -east^aNegro preacher -could not see the con nection between substantial jobs ol his congregation and his own well being. Now comes ,Brer Scljuyler \yiti his fourtlT-rate rnconocfasm and cyni sism and "Near Menckenism" to de ride our homely advice to Negroes forrtfhftm something ought to bo don< and done now! George Schuyler -lives "up North" where he doubtless in dulges the fatuous belief that he i? a full fledged citizen of. the Unitet mates, tie aoes not believe in (ioi and evidently, has but little faith ii man. He would be glad to see all thi Negro churches destroyed and all th? Negro preachers drowned. He wouh doubtless?make?black ' socialists?am communists of the entire Negro race He would save the Negro of the Soutl by^eavtng htm the bag to hold whit the while in derby hats, tuxedos am he stays "up North" and endulge spats and boosts of his atheism o which the average Negro knows bu little and 'cares still less!'* In brie our esteemed columnist is one of-th "martyrs-by pro^y" who "speak down" to us struggling folk.

The Benedlct- ~ frllon c^Apl hPrfl at Colu ^, hos u- splendid enrollment, and the State college school is reported as having a record attendance. Other schools t scattered ^throughout the state are , said to have large numbers also. Besides the teachers who are studying in South Carolina many have left the -state for such schools as Columbia university, Harvard, Howard ahd Hampton. . v, ' . All this means that a better prepared army of tefchers will combat the ignorance that is .. rampanJ in South Carolina during the approaching school year. Among those who are attending the summer school at ^ Benedict-Allen are quite a few people who have no idea whatever of teach- t ing, but afersimply dissatisfied with ? their intellectual equipment, and at- j tempting to better their - condition, < Some of these people. are no longer * young in years but by their sincere \ sc.tipns show that?they are youthful ^ in the vigor of their pursuit of know- ? ledge for its own sake. , __ ?I imagine that there are at least ^ hundreds of people in Columbia who . if given the proper encouragement s would attend school.
